00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: This The One Bills Live presented by Calllida Help.

2
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: Welcome to Week fifteen, as we get you said for

3
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: what many are calling a potential Super Bowl preview, as

4
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 2: the twelve and one Detroit Lions play host to the

5
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 2: ten and three Buffalo Bills in a cross conference matchup

6
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: of the two highest scoring teams in the league. Alan

7
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 2: under center, Ti Job right behind him. They go to

8
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: shove him over the goal line. No sign from the

9
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: officials yet they're gonna come in and look. Alan looked

10
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 2: like he got over the goal line and.

11
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 3: It's a touchdown.

12
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: Josh Allen is good from a yard out. Here's the

13
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: snap on second and goal and it's an Alan keeper

14
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: and he sails into the end zone on a four

15
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: yard touchdown run. Oh my, was that easy? That might

16
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: be the least amount of contact Josh Allen has had

17
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: on a touchdown run all season. And he takes the

18
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: snap back to pass down the right side to Johnson

19
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: who makes a beautiful catch and he's down to the

20
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: twenty yard line. Here's the snap. Handoff goes to Cook

21
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: racing to the left side and he is in a

22
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: six yard touchdown run by James Cook. The Cook is

23
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: in the kitchen. Another handoff to Cook through a hole,

24
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: dart to the middle of the field thirty twenty five,

25
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: twenty still on his feet, ten.

26
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 4: Five that Cook is.

27
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: In for a touchdown.

28
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: Second rushing touchdown of the game, goes forty one yards.

29
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: Here's the snap, three step drop, looking pocket collapsing, looking

30
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: over the middle, and it's caught. And now it's fumbled.

31
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: The ball is out. Are they gonna say incomplete pass?

32
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: So the fumble recovery by Matt Milano is good. It

33
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: is Buffalo football. If bake a pitch, it's an inside

34
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: handoff to Shakir and he's leaping into the end zone

35
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: for the touchdown. Bas kicks it and it bounces, takes

36
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 2: the high hop and it's covered by Hollins. He's going

37
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: the other way fifteen ten and he's upended at the

38
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: six yard line. Oh, I thought the barefoot Wonder was

39
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: gonna get to the end zone. Tripped up at the four,

40
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: Gonna roll out to his right. Allan's gonna throw it

41
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 2: to Davis and he's into the end zone for a

42
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: five yard touchdown reception. A colossal victory for the Bills

43
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: on the road in Detroit, bringing an end to the

44
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: line eleven game winning streak as they emerged victorious forty

45
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: eight to forty two to improve to eleven and three

46
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: on the season. All right, that is your game rewind

51
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: That was unreal.

52
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we're at We're at the end of the

53
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: four game stretch. A month ago we sat here and said, Okay,

54
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: here we go. It's gonna be These four games are

55
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 3: gonna tell us. So they started by scoring thirty, Then

56
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 3: they scored thirty five. Then they scored forty two. Now

57
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 3: they scored forty eight. They went three to one during

58
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 3: that stretch. Yesterday they beat the number one seed in

59
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: the NFC, and certainly both teams defensively were nicked up

60
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 3: the Bills. Actually, the Lions got healthier going into the game.

61
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: The Bills came in depleted. Three of their starting secondary

62
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 3: players are out of the game. The Bill's defensive line

63
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: showed up in a big way, got a ton of

64
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: pressure on Golf, which really gave them a chance to

65
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 3: keep them one dimensional, although, as we've seen the Detroit

66
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 3: Lions one dimension, which is their passing game yesterday, it

67
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 3: was pretty salty. Kudos to the Lions. They're a good

68
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 3: football team and they deserved to be the one seed

69
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 3: in that conference, but depleted with their secondary face and

70
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: offense like the Bills, they came up short.

71
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. And as we mentioned, the Bills did not have

72
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: their two starting safeties, not a starting corner. Then they

73
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 2: lose Bishop during the game, they lose Milano during the game,

74
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 2: they lose Dorian Williams during the game, so all injuries

75
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: to their back seven. And look, this game looks close

76
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 2: with the final score, it wasn't this close. The Bills

77
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: outclassed the Lions every which way, but loose. I mean,

78
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: three minutes left in the third quarter, it's a five

79
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 2: to fourteen game. It was not a game. I'm sorry,

80
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 2: Like people are like, oh, the Lions were hurt. Did

81
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: you look at who the Bills had on the field

82
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: on defense? Get the hell out of here with that.

83
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, just I don't know why when

84
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: the Bills have a big victory like this, they don't

85
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: get the credit that other teams get when they have

86
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: a big victory like this, it really frosts me. It does, Yeah,

87
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 2: and I'm just sick of it. Like, what else do

88
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: they have to do. They've beaten the two teams that

89
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 2: appeared in the Super Bowl last year. They've beaten the

90
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: team that everybody said was the best team in football,

91
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: most complete team in football. And all they're crying about

92
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 2: are all the injuries that the Lions suffered. And look,

93
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 2: it sucks, but the Bills have had those two Nobody

94
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: felt sorry for the Bills. Why is everybody feeling sorry

95
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: for the Lions?

96
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 3: Come on, man, Yeah, the Bills were probably well, they

97
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: were as injured as the Lions were defensively, and it

98
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,799
Speaker 3: showed up. I mean both these teams, with the quarterbacks

99
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: they had and the offensive fire power they had, they

100
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 3: showed up in a big way. Now, the Bills as

101
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 3: is as what they do, is they they started to

102
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 3: get a little different defensive philosophy when it was obvious

103
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: that the Lions could not stop the Buffalo Bills. Yeah,

104
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 3: and the Lions admitted as much when they went for

105
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: an onside kick with twelve minutes to go in the

106
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 3: fourth quarter. I've never seen an on side kick that early. Ever,

107
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: I've never seen an on side kick that was outside

108
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 3: the last four or five minutes of the game. This

109
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 3: one was twelve minutes to go in the game, and

110
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 3: it was just a nod to the fact that the

111
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 3: Lions had no answer for Josh Allen the Bills offense.

112
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 2: And I know that special teams has come under fire

113
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: at certain points this season, and understandably so. But the

114
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: job by the hands team on those two on side

115
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: kicks was masterful because those were two very good on

116
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: side kicks by the Lions in terms of getting the

117
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 2: balance that they wanted on one, the underhit sneak on

118
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: the second one, and Terrell Bernard may have had the

119
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 2: most heads up play of the game because Taron Johnson

120
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,239
Speaker 2: goes to recover that ball, it comes loose from his grasp.

121
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: Two Lions are closing in on the ball. Terrell Bernard

122
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 2: comes over and taps the ball back into Taron Johnson's

123
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: bread basket so he can secure it. Super heads up play.

124
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: If he doesn't do that, the Lions might have the football.

125
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 3: And I'll say this too, it's interesting about you know,

126
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 3: the kickoff rules have been tinkered with over the course

127
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 3: of the last five or six years for player safety

128
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: and all that, and they're still trying to get it right.

129
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 3: The fact that the Lions had to declare that onside

130
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 3: kick huge benefit to the receiving team. There's no doubt

131
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 3: there's surprise onsiding that in the old days and got

132
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 3: a better chance of getting In fact, it's more of

133
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 3: a coin flip back in the old days when you

134
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: could surprise onside, particularly that early in the game.

135
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be a surprise.

136
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 3: It would have been a surprise, and so the Bills

137
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 3: benefited from that and the current rule. But being alert

138
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: by the mac hollins play was stellar.

139
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: That was a great place to have a sex foot

140
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: four receiver. And there's the top no accident having him

141
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: over there well, and the other thing too, the presence

142
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: of mind to realize I'm not gonna be able to

143
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: secure the ball, but I can. He did it like

144
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: he looked like a basketball player, you know when they

145
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 2: tip a rebound to themselves sometimes like I'm fighting for

146
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: the rebound, let me just tip it over here where

147
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: I can get it. He tapped it forward knowing all

148
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: the Lions were coming the other way. Yeah, and he's.

149
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 3: Off and running yeah, we did that. It's the same.

150
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 3: It's a common practice we back in the day. Pete

151
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 3: Metzlars was over there our six to eight tight end.

152
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 3: You gotta have a guy over there is a bookend

153
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: because one of the tactics over there about the thing

154
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 3: out of bounds. Hollins goes down the sidelines. Wish he

155
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 3: would have high steped to get in because that would

156
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: have been a crusher. Now the Bills scored on the

157
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 3: next play, and just stellar play by Hollins. And I'll

158
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 3: tell you what, Taron Johnson, we know how courageous he

159
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: is because he plays and they leave him in against

160
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 3: the run game and they got the offensive lineman pulling

161
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 3: at him. I play being the center guy on on

162
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 3: sidekick and they dribble it towards you. You gotta go

163
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 3: be courageous enough to pick it up. No, and you're

164
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 3: gonna get blown up. You're gonna get blown up. Tarren

165
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 3: did a great job covering that up. It looked like

166
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 3: and sometimes you think and sometimes it does. Ball changes

167
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 3: hands about three times at the bottom of that pile.

168
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 3: It didn't yesterday because Tarren went down with it and

169
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 3: he came up with it.

170
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: To l Bernard helped him though. He tapped it back

171
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 2: into his stomach. That is, he could secure it.

172
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 3: Man, I'm telling you, that is as courageous a play

173
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 3: as there is in all of football, and Taron Johnson

174
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 3: pulled it off to ice That game. A lot of

175
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 3: fun to watch yesterday, I think for Bills fans it

176
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: was fun because the Bills were This was just the

177
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 3: opposite of the Rams game, where the Bills were chasing

178
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 3: the Rams the entire second half, down by seventeen twice,

179
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 3: just like the Lions were down by seventeen twice, and

180
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: the Bills held him on off.

181
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 2: Lions never had the lead.

182
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 3: And the Lions, yeah, so exactly like the Bills in

183
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 3: the Rams game. So the Bills are in the driver's

184
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 3: seat there and it turns out they had it and

185
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 3: they held him off. It was a lot of fun

186
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 3: to watch that game and to see Josh playing the

187
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 3: way he's playing using everybody listen, Amari Cooper didn't even

188
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 3: get a target yesterday.

189
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: And he was the leading receiver last week.

190
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 3: I'm gonna ask Sean McDermott, you know how difficult is

191
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 3: it as a defensive team to look at the Bills

192
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 3: offense and say Okay, they got nine guys who caught

193
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 3: a pass last week, this guy who didn't catch pass

194
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 3: at all with their leading receiver, and he's good, he's

195
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 3: proven this. You know. Now they got this guy who's this?

196
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 3: They look at their report, Oh he's ty Ty Johnson.

197
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 3: Who is that?

198
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 2: Well they should know because he started his career with

199
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: the Lions. Talk about a full sear I'm talking.

200
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 3: About the Patriots. Now they've got to look at this

201
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 3: offense and say, well, who are we gonna know? Who's

202
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 3: in here? And Josh And I'll say this again. The

203
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 3: things that struck me about the play of Josh yesterday. Certainly,

204
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: I think the called quarterback runs were a bigger part

205
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 3: of things than we saw in previous weeks. And the

206
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 3: touch passes. Now, he did gun a bunch of them

207
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: in Remember he's rolling around and he's throwing this thing

208
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 3: like it's a laser beam. But he also had like

209
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 3: four or five of them that were touch passes, and

210
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: you don't see him do that. That often really really

211
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 3: cool to see, and I think that's just bodes well

212
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 3: for what's going on. You know, what's coming up for

213
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 3: this team. A lot of fun to see Josh play

214
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 3: that way in Detroit. With this offense, it was just man,

215
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 3: what a masterpiece.

216
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 2: He's a touchdown factory. In Allen's last three games, he

217
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 2: has told the fourteen touchdowns tied for the third most

218
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 2: in any three game span in NFL history. Only Tom

219
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 2: Brady with sixteen in his fame two thousand and seven

220
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: season and Peyton Manning with fifteen in November of two

221
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: thousand and four had more touchdowns in a three game span.

222
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 2: Allen became the first player in NFL history with multiple

223
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: passing touchdowns and multiple rushing touchdowns. And consecutive games, the

224
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 2: Bills offense has scored seventeen touchdowns, had zero giveaways, and

225
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 2: have not allowed a sack in their last three games.

226
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 2: They're the only team since the nineteen to seventy merger

227
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: to score fifteen plus touchdowns, have zero giveaways zero sacks

228
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: in a three game span. Not bad for Joe Brady's offense.

229
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: Josh Allen now the first player in NFL history with

230
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 2: thirty five or more passing and rushing touchdowns in four

231
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: consecutive seasons, and with the win Sunday, the Bills have

232
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: now posted their fifth straight eleven win season, making coach

233
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 2: McDermott the fifth head coach in league history with five

234
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 2: straight seasons with eleven wins or more. The only other

235
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 2: coaches to do it Bill Belichick, Tony Dungee, Tom Landry,

236
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 2: Andy Reid. Two are in the Hall of Fame. Two

237
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 2: are going to the Hall of Fame. And Sean McDermott

238
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: is in that company. And if anybody wants to come

239
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 2: out of the woodwork and say, well, look at all

240
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks they had, I'm gonna tell you to sit

241
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: on it, Potzi, because Bill Walsh never did it with

242
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: Joe Montana, Mike Shanahan, never did it with John Elway

243
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 2: or Steve Young, Chuck Nole never did it with his

244
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: famed defense. You know, Bud Grant never did it. There's

245
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 2: a lot of coaches. Tom Landry, yeah, he's on the list.

246
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 3: Wait, who's the other?

247
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean come on, Don Schule is not on

248
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: the list. So, I mean he had Dan Marino for

249
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: almost twenty years. Just whatever with the quarterback yard. Coaches

250
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: are about continuity and building things. Quarterbacks are about making

251
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: things happen and winning games. I get it, but you

252
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: don't win at least eleven games in five consecutive seasons

253
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 2: unless you have a head coach running a program that

254
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 2: has year over year consistency. The Bills and the Chiefs

255
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 2: are the only teams in the league that have made

256
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 2: the playoffs each of the last five years, and they're

257
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 2: gonna make it six this year, both of those teams.

258
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: So do not discount what McDermott has done over these

259
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 2: last five years with a five straight eleven win seasons.

260
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 2: It is a big deal. And if those names on

261
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: that list who have done it before him, don't tell

262
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:13,239
Speaker 2: you that I can't help you. I just can't. Sorry, Belichick, Dungee,

263
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: Landry Reid, practically a mount rushmore of NFL head coaches.

264
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: It's rare. So just appreciate it for what it is.

265
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: I know, people got their arguments with whatever, Just for once,

266
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: just appreciate what we have.

267
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 3: Please a little bit of the current day and age

268
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 3: in which we live, because you hear it, I think

269
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 3: more so these days.

270
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: It's all about the champions, you guys.

271
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 3: And I hear so much from from Every team has haters.

272
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, we don't like the Patriots, we

273
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 3: don't like the Dolphins, we don't like the Jets, but

274
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: all the fan bases interact on social media so openly.

275
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 3: These days, you hear the criticism constantly about your own team,

276
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 3: and certainly there's a lot of Bills haters out there,

277
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 3: and there always have been, particularly Josh Allen Hayes because

278
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 3: he has proved and so many people like Brownie and

279
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 3: I these experts to be stupid in their take about

280
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 3: Josh Allen when he came out, and even down to

281
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 3: this day, they're doubling down, and they're doubling down again,

282
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 3: and they're doubling down again even after he's kicking sand

283
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 3: in their face year after year, game after game. So

284
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 3: it's it's amazing when you go back and look at

285
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 3: the receipts, how all these guys are just they're fighting

286
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: at every step of the way everything Josh does. They

287
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 3: just can't get around the fact that they were wrong.

288
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: Just accept you're wrong and move on whatever.

289
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 3: They won't they won't, they won't capitulate.

290
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, shouldn't forget that. The running backs and the tight

291
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: ends in this game were fantastic. James Cook goes for

292
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: over one hundred on the ground, Ty Johnson goes for

293
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 2: over one hundred receiving, and the two tight ends Knox

294
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 2: and Kincaid combined for almost one hundred yards receiving between

295
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: the two of them, and look, it's a master stroke

296
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: by Joe Brady. He realized that the Lions loved to

297
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 2: play base defense. They don't play a whole lot of nickel.

298
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: He saw a mismatch with the backs and the tight

299
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: ends against their linebackers and safeties, and those four guys feasted,

300
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: absolutely feasted on the Lions. And you know, people are like, well,

301
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 2: Coleman only had one catch, and what about Amari Cooper?

302
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 2: And it's just like, you go with what works on

303
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 2: that given day, and what worked was throwing to the

304
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 2: tight ends and the backs because they were big time mismatches,

305
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: and the Bills took advantage to the tune of forty

306
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: eight points. So don't knock it if it's working, and

307
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: it worked. Here's another fun note. The final score of

308
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: forty eight to forty two was a score of GOMI. Yeah,

309
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: the one thousand, ninetieth unique final score in NFL history

310
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: forty eight to forty two. Now we know the Bills

311
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 2: sustained a couple of injuries. Matt Molono groin injury, Drian

312
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 2: Williams eecutor with an arm injury, but did return. Cole

313
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 2: Bishop left with what was initially described as cramps, and

314
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: I think he can't. Did he come back in the

315
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 2: game at the end?

316
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 3: I believe.

317
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 2: I want to say I saw him on special teams,

318
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 2: but I'm not one hundred percent sure. Meanwhile, the Lion

319
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: suffered some season ending injuries cornerback Carlton Davis who broke

320
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 2: his jaw, defensive tackle Alleen McNeil who tore his ACL,

321
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: and then backup cornerback Khalil Dorsey who fractured his leg

322
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 2: and was carted off. And then we just found out

323
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: moments ago that running back David Montgomery sprained his MCL

324
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: and may also be lost for this season.

325
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that, And I'll say that, Brownie, We've talked

326
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 3: about it. I keep I'm the guy that came finished.

327
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 3: I'm the guy that keeps harping on it because it's

328
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 3: so It's great when you play well early in the season.

329
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,479
Speaker 3: It's great when but man, look at the Baltimore Ravens.

330
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 3: They were humming for the first two months of the season.

331
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 3: Now you know, now they're what eight and five, nine

332
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 3: and five? Uh, you know, you get these like the

333
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 3: and you get on these big, long streaks where it's

334
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 3: really hard to keep guys going. Even the Bills going

335
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 3: into this game dip completely depleted in the back end

336
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 3: of their defense and then losing Milana in the beginning.

337
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 3: Now the Lions, you've got to get to the playoffs. Yes,

338
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 3: get the one seed if you can, obviously, but man,

339
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 3: oh man, now you've got Pat Mahomes with a high ankle.

340
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 3: All these teams are breaking down physically at the end

341
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 3: of this season, and it's gonna be really difficult to

342
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 3: play at a high level, and it's gonna be about

343
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 3: who can line it up and show up on game

344
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 3: day in the playoffs in the best shape.

345
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a battle sharp, It's a battle of attrition,

346
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,959
Speaker 2: it really is. Let's go around the NFL, which is

347
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 2: brought to you by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system of

348
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills. Lamar Jackson threw five touchdowns as the

349
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: Ravens romped over the hapless New York Giants in a

350
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: thirty five to fourteen final and all of the Lamar

351
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: for MVP lovers are back out in force. And look,

352
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: he's had a phenomenal season thirty four touchdowns, just three interceptions,

353
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 2: but come on, Lamar threw five touchdowns against the Giants. People,

354
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 2: The Bills just played the Chiefs, forty nine ers, Rams,

355
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 2: and Lions averaged thirty eight point seven points per game

356
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: when three and one in. Their quarterback has more passing yards,

357
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 2: more twenty plus yard plays, more rushing yards, and touchdowns

358
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 2: in that span than Lamar. The MVP race is over.

359
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 2: Just I'm calling it. Sorry, Lamar, really nice season, it's

360
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 2: better than your last two that you won MVP in.

361
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 2: But look, Josh had better stats than you last year

362
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: and you won the MVP. Why because your team went

363
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 2: fourteen to three and had the number one seed in

364
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: the AFC. Like, what's the criteria? You're gonna change it

365
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: again this year? Yeah, and screw Josh again. Get out

366
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: of here with that. Sorry, I'm a little oranery today.

367
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: I'm just I really am.

368
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 3: It's a late night for you.

369
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 2: I'm just no, it's not that, it's just I don't

370
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 2: understand what the hell else the Bills have to do

371
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 2: to convince people that's it.

372
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 3: If they're gonna keep Josh out of the MVP, they

373
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 3: got to move the goalposts again. They got to change

374
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 3: the criteria again. And we've seen it happen before. But today,

375
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 3: if there's a lot of momentum for John, the problem

376
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 3: is now they got Patriots, Jets, Patriots, And as long

377
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 3: as the one seed is on the table, you know

378
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to play Josh, You're gonna do it

379
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 3: a lot, but you really case in point them Detroit

380
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 3: Lions and the Bills defense yesterday. You got to get

381
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 3: there healthy and the ultimate goal is about playing your

382
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 3: best on that game day that I keep talking about.

383
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 3: So the MVP is what it is, and it's a

384
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 3: regular season award, but what you really want to do

385
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 3: is line it up and get and hit the playoffs

386
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 3: at a dead run, humming, with everybody healthy and ready

387
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 3: to go. That's as important as anything. Right now, You've

388
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 3: got three games to do it, three games you're gonna

389
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 3: be heavily favored in. But they're also where the ultimate

390
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 3: goal may be taken out of your hands of getting

391
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 3: the one seed. You know, with the Chiefs doing what

392
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 3: they're doing now, the Mahomes injury throws a wrench into

393
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 3: You're not coasting. You got a shot at it. They

394
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 3: got Houston, Pitt, Denver, the Chiefs are Chiefs, got a

395
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 3: hard road and We've got New England Jets New England,

396
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 3: which you know they I don't know if they have

397
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 3: as many wins as the Bills do combined. I have

398
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 3: to check what are they do they have as many

399
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 3: wins as the Bills do overall. I don't know the

400
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 3: Patriots and the and the combined combined. No, they don't,

401
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 3: they don't. The Bills have more wins than those three

402
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 3: teams combined. So you know, how you got a wigh

403
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: what's at stake here? And it's it's not that easy. Yeah,

404
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 3: it's not that easy.

405
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: So we've got to look at some of the other

406
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 2: things that happened yesterday. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs beat

407
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 2: the Browns twenty one seven and moved to thirteen and one.

408
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 2: But Mahomes leaves the game of the high ankle spring,

409
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 2: which he's had before and played with, but it's compromised

410
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,479
Speaker 2: his mobility. Chiefs have to play in six days on

411
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 2: Saturday against the Houston Texans before turning around and playing

412
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: the Steelers four days later on Christmas Day, so we'll

413
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 2: see how the Chiefs decide to pace their quarterback against

414
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 2: two very good pass rushing defenses. Will Anderson, Daniel Hunter

415
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 2: for the Houston Texans coming off the edge, and then TJ.

416
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 2: Watt and Alex high Smith and Nate Herbig for the Steelers,

417
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 2: like and that's a road game in Pittsburgh, by the way.

418
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 2: So I'm curious. I don't know. I will see how

419
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: Mahomes comes through the week. I wouldn't be shocked if

420
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 2: he sits one of these games, two games in four

421
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 2: days or five days. Well, I don't know.

422
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 3: He'll he's not going to do it voluntarily. Well no,

423
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 3: and it'll if he if they don't let him him play,

424
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,239
Speaker 3: that'll be a sign as to how serious it is.

425
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 3: I you know there.

426
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 2: They got three games in twelve days.

427
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's that's a that's a real question because

428
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 3: that guy, listen, Carson Wentz is a nice player. He's

429
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 3: their backup. He is nowhere in the stratosphere of Pat Mahomes,

430
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 3: and that whole team will take a hit psychologically if

431
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 3: Mahomes can't play. And now Andy Read's brilliant and he'll

432
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 3: do what he can with whatever's left out there. But

433
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 3: man o, man, he can't play all three of these games.

434
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 3: He could, you don't know, we don't know. He may

435
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 3: he may go out there with a cast on his

436
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 3: foot underneath his sock. We don't know, but it's a problem.

437
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 3: He's going to be compromised and he's not going to

438
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 3: be as mobile. And when you're not as mobile, when

439
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 3: you're used to being mobile, it's a big change because

440
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 3: you don't have everything you use your yourself.

441
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 2: I forget about.

442
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 3: Having a guy injured or this guy or that guy.

443
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 3: You still have a guy to replace him that you

444
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 3: can throw at even if he can't catch. When you're

445
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 3: when it's in what it's you and you can't run

446
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 3: when you're used to being able to move, that's a

447
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 3: huge adjustment.

448
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 2: Yeh. But here's the problem. His mobility is compromised and

449
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 2: his offensive tackles are substandard. And you're playing Will Anderson

450
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: and Daniel Hunter this weekend, and then you're playing TJ.

451
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 2: Watt and Alex Heighsmith the next week. Like, good luck

452
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 2: with that. Your tackles are substandard and you can't move.

453
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yours have been substandard all year. But here's the thing,

454
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 3: they're not gonna that's not an additional criterion. It's gonna

455
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 3: be whether he can go or not at all. And

456
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 3: that's it's about him. It's not about the guys around him.

457
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 3: He's got to go with the guys around him no

458
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 3: matter what.

459
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if he's not the same, that's a factor.

460
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: It's a factor, not to mention, you know. Yeah, the tackles.

461
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 3: Well, it is a factor. It's factor in the outcome.

462
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 3: It's not a factor in whether he goes or not.

463
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 3: They're not gonna not throw him out there because they

464
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 3: don't trust the guys around him. That's just the way

465
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 3: it goes. So, but you're right, it's certainly a factor

466
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 3: for the Texans.

467
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 2: The Steelers fell off the conference race pace with a

468
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,479
Speaker 2: twenty seven thirteen loss in Philadelphia, as the Eagles improved

469
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 2: to twelve and two and have pulled into a tie

470
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 2: in the NFC conference race with the Lions after their

471
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 2: loss to the Bills. Detroit still has the conference record

472
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 2: tiebreaker as they are eight and one in the NFC

473
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 2: Philadelphia seven and two. Houston clinches the AFC South with

474
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 2: a twenty to twelve win over the Dolphins, whose season

475
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 2: is all but over at six and eight on the year.

476
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 2: Broncos with a big win over Indy in the AFC

477
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: wildcard race to improve to nine and five, and the

478
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 2: Colts are pretty much cooked after the thirty one to

479
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 2: thirteen loss to Denver Chargers. With a bad loss yesterday

480
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 2: they could ill afford to have as they got smacked

481
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 2: by Tampa Bay forty to seventeen. They're now eight and

482
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 2: six and they played Denver next week. Yikes, I had

483
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 2: hopes for la. I guess they're Chargers are once again

484
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 2: charging Chargering. Sunday Night Football, the Packers beat up the

485
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 2: Seahawks thirty to thirteen. Gino Smith left the game of

486
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 2: the knee injury. Sam Howell was not up.

487
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: To the task.

488
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 2: That guy looked like he was a deer in the

489
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: headlights last night. It was ugly. Monday Night football has

490
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: some NFC playoff race implications on a double header night,

491
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 2: Minnesota at eleven and two hosts Chicago. With a win,

492
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 2: they'll pull even with the Lions in the NFC North

493
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 2: in terms of one loss record. But the Lions beat

494
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: the Vikings in their first meeting this year, so they've

495
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 2: got the head to head tiebreaker right now. Those two

496
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 2: teams play in week eighteen.

497
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's for the division.

498
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 2: Could be and potentially the top seed in the NFC.

499
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 2: And then the other game tonight, the Raiders host the Falcons.

500
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 2: Falcons season is hanging by a thread at six and seven.

501
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 2: They're a game back of Tampa in the NFC South standings,

502
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 2: and that's probably the only way a team is making

503
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 2: the playoffs out of that division. Win the division, that

504
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 2: is the only thing. San Francisco forty nine Ers have

505
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 2: suspended linebacker Devondre Campbell for the final three games of

506
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 2: the season. That according to Ian Rapaport of NFL Network.

507
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 2: So Campbell, as we remember last week, refused to enter

508
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 2: the game in their loss to the Rams last Thursday.

509
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 2: Head coach Kyle Shanahan Vowdy would never play for the

510
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 2: team again. Instead of cutting him and letting him get

511
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 2: picked up by another team and he's the guy that wins.

512
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 2: Shanahan said, no, no, no, no, We're gonna suspend him for

513
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 2: three games. Then we don't have to pay him and

514
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 2: he can't play anywhere else. Have fun sitting over there,

515
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 2: Oh you want to sit go sit at home. Thanks

516
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 2: for coming. Yeah, I don't blame Kyle Shanahan one iota.

517
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 3: Oh no, I mean that's no, he can't have it.

518
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 3: Basically speaking, Shanahan's got to look at the other fifty

519
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 3: two guys or sixty five guys in the room and

520
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 3: look out for that that you can't allow somebody else

521
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 3: not to do their job and put the other fifty

522
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 3: three guys hopes and dreams and goals and bodies at risk.

523
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 3: It that's the way it works. You got guys out

524
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 3: there landing on the line for each other, and guy

525
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 3: refuses to do that, he's out. It's that simple.

526
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: One other injury update comes from the Steelers. As we know, TJ.

527
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 2: Watt suffered an ankle injury in the loss to Philadelphia.

528
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin, in addressing the media today said the quote

529
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 2: door is a jar for TJ. Watt to play against

530
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 2: the Ravens. That's also a quick turnaround and a Saturday

531
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 2: game because the Steelers are playing on Christmas Day against

532
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. So both the Chiefs and Steelers play early

533
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 2: this weekend on Saturday because they've got another game the

534
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 2: following Wednesday on Christmas Day, so they will be keeping

535
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 2: an eye on TJ. Watt's availability against the Ravens. And

536
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 2: that is a gigundo game because right now the Steelers

537
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 2: are just a game ahead of the Ravens. They're ten

538
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 2: and four. Ravens are nine and five, and the Ravens,

539
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 2: you know, coming off an easy win over the Giants

540
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 2: last week, when they're playing against backups in the Giants defense.

541
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 2: I mean, so they're humming right now and they're trying

542
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 2: to walk down the Steelers. So we'll see what happens there.

543
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: And George pickens availability will be big in that game,

544
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 2: because that Pittsburgh passing game doesn't look the same without

545
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 2: picking Pickens.

546
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 3: Pickens was the last two games. Yeah, that it's interesting

547
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 3: that you wonder, you think, wow, it's a wide receiver,

548
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 3: how much of it he can make it? In that

549
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 3: game early, particularly early on that game needed something for

550
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh offense and they didn't have it to give

551
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 3: because Pickens wasn't in the game. Uh, that's a huge difference.

552
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 3: And we all know, we all know the ripple effects

553
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 3: of one play here, one play there, and uh and

554
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 3: the and the game takes a different track. I think

555
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 3: that's what happened in the Pittsburgh Philly game. Yeah, now Philly,

556
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 3: don't Phillies legit, Phillies unbelievable, they're legit.

557
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 2: That's the biggest football team in the league.

558
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 3: But foot but Pittsburgh needed that one extra play here

559
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 3: and there, and Pickens might have been the guy to

560
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 3: give it to him.

561
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 2: Now we have to step aside and take a break here,

562
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 2: but we are wide open for your phone calls when

563
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 2: we come back from break. What are your biggest takeaways

564
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 2: from the bills forty eight to forty two win over

565
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 2: the Lions, ending Detroit's eleven game winning streak eight oh

566
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 2: three oh five point fifty won eight eight eight five

567
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 2: fifty two five fifty. Those are the numbers to join us.

568
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,239
Speaker 2: Got some open lines for you there, so chime in.

569
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 2: Let us know what you thought of the win yesterday.

Speaker 2: It's Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you on a Buffalo

Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. And he takes the snap back

573
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 2: to pass down the right side to Johnson, who makes

574
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 2: a beautiful catch and he's down to the twenty yard line.

575
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 2: This week's player the game is we're running back Tie Johnson,

576
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 2: who feasted on linebackers and safeties in the passing game

577
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: to the tune of five receptions for one hundred and

578
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: fourteen yards. That was a team high and a person

00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 2: and we lead off today with Ryan in Toronto. What

595
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 2: do you got for us?

596
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 5: Ryan, Chris Steve, happy ficking winning Monday?

597
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 6: Brother, You guys were doing great.

598
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 3: Good to hear from you.

599
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 6: Good.

600
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 5: Honestly, guys, I'm really happy with the off the way

601
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 5: offense is playing. To be honest, my biggest takeaway is

602
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 5: in a negative way, it has to be the defense.

603
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 5: The way the defense is playing, giving up forty four

604
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 5: points and back to back games, it's running games. But

605
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 5: to be honest, that's not a wrestling percent success. That's

606
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 5: not no one's talking about Bobby Bess. How are we

607
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 5: not stitching the defense. There's way too many points doing

608
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 5: up this later in the season and it's going to

609
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 5: catch up to us one time. Gays, can I do

610
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 5: keep doing what he's doing every single game and build

611
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 5: the defense out. I just want to hear you Todds, guys,

612
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 5: and I enjoy the rest of the day.

613
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you. You're right. And I'll say this though,

614
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 3: the one thing I will take from this performance is

615
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 3: I didn't have very high expectations from the secondary of

616
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 3: the Bills defense and their ability to cover these guys

617
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 3: up there. It's a high flying, very high powered offense,

618
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 3: as was the La Rams. You've met two of the

619
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 3: best passing offenses when they're healthy in the league. Defensively,

620
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 3: the Bills were shattered in the back end and it

621
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 3: got worse during the game. And so I'm I agree

622
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 3: with you, it's not optimal, But I don't know what

623
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 3: they've got back there. And I'll say this too, I

624
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 3: think this defense is built in a different with a

625
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 3: different philosophy than that than teams have been building defenses

626
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 3: in the past. This is a defense that is built

627
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 3: on playmaking rather than constant like stuffing the run, you know,

628
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 3: defending the pass hard on the outside. I think this

629
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 3: is a big defense built on opportunisistic turnovers, forced fumbles,

630
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 3: and making a play on crucial downs. It's a play

631
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 3: making defense rather than a stifling defense. And I think

632
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 3: that's what they're gonna have to lean on. Certainly, you

633
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 3: can Yesterday's forget about the philosophical recipe for success. I

634
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 3: think yesterday's roster was a recipe for maybe disaster. The

635
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 3: way it came out in the secondary, I mean they

636
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 3: got no they got guys who have not played together.

637
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 3: I mean, it's one thing when you put one plug,

638
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 3: one guy in and the guys can make sure he's

639
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 3: communicated with, make sure he knows what he's supposed to

640
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 3: be doing. You got three guys out there who have

641
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 3: not taken reps in a game together, and you lose

642
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 3: Milano again in during the game and for a groin,

643
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 3: you lose Dorian Williams during the game. He actually came

644
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 3: back in I mean, you've got you've got a Hodgepodge

645
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 3: and a mash unit back there. And I know that

646
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 3: the Detroit Lions are boohooing about how they're nicked up.

647
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 3: They got healthier going into that game. Uh, the Bills didn't.

648
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 3: So yes, giving up forty two forty points a game

649
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 3: is not a recipe for success, but that has been

650
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 3: I think the condition of their injury list the last

651
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 3: couple of weeks, plus combined with the quality of the

652
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 3: offenses they were facing and the and the matchups on

653
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,479
Speaker 3: the outside, I think that's more about what we're looking

654
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 3: at with the defensive performance in the last couple of

655
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 3: weeks than you know, them not having it together on

656
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 3: that side of the ball at all. I'm certainly willing.

657
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 3: Let's face it, they're facing a team this week that

658
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 3: you can say is going to be a get right game.

659
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 3: We'll see if that happens.

660
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 2: I think it's two completely different games. I realized they

661
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 2: gave up forty points in both two completely different games.

662
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 2: What you saw on defense against the Rams was of

663
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: major concern. What you saw against the Lions, to me,

664
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 2: was not, and the reason why is because they made

665
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 2: the Lions one dimensional. They completely ruined their run game

666
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,240
Speaker 2: to the point where they benched David Montgomery and brought

667
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 2: in Jamior Gibbs because Montgomery and the power run game

668
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 2: was not working. The Bills neutralized it. They got a lead,

669
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 2: they made the Lions one dimensional. That is the recipe.

670
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 2: The way you saw that game unfold in the first

671
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 2: half was how the Bills want to win football games. Philosophically.

672
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 2: Make the opponent one dimensional, stop the run game, have

673
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,479
Speaker 2: the offense get a lead, make them have to throw it, pass, rush,

674
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 2: go eat. That's how they play football. That is their philosophy.

675
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 2: They worked it to a tee because you could say

676
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 2: whatever you want about forty two points scored by the Lions.

677
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 2: The Bills changed how they played the game defensively once

678
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 2: it was thirty five to fourteen and thirty eight to

679
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 2: twenty one. The Bills were using the clock as their

680
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 2: biggest ally in the game, and they were letting the

681
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 2: Lions get yardage underneath as much as they want. Oh

682
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 2: you want fifteen yards, here you go. We'll take an

683
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,479
Speaker 2: extra minute and a half off the clock. Another fifteen yards. Fine,

684
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 2: here's another forty five seconds off the clock because we're

685
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 2: working our way towards a victory. Here, we're up seventeen.

686
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 2: You can't catch us unless you score on one play drives.

687
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 2: So don't read into this game this week being the

688
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 2: same problem as last week, two very different things. Defensively,

689
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 2: in my estimation, the defensive line came to play this

690
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 2: game yesterday, They dictated play. They made the Lions one

691
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 2: dimensional Lina and at the end of the game second half,

692
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 2: they're giving up yards in exchange for time on the car.

693
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 3: The one thing that didn't happen for the Lions that

694
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 3: was off the script for the Buffalo Bills was the

695
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 3: big sixty one yarder to Almon Ross Saint Brown where

696
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 3: he caught it and I'll say this to Ben Bernard

697
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 3: saw it was in the lane and tried to get

698
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 3: up and had both hands. He missed it by literally

699
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 3: an inch. He got two hands on the ball barely

700
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 3: and it fluttered the ball and it's you know, Alman

701
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 3: Ross Saint Brown did a fantastic job still catching it.

702
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 3: But they had that defended. That play right there was

703
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 3: really what gave the Lions life throughout the second half.

704
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 3: It kept him in a seventeen point or it got

705
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 3: him back to a ten point deficit when it was

706
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 3: gonna be even if they went down to score subsequently,

707
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 3: it wasn't gonna happen in like two plays.

708
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,439
Speaker 2: I'd only cut it to fourteen one, right, so they're

709
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 2: still way behind, right, so that the end of the

710
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 2: third that in and of itself was the one play

711
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 2: where the Lions got all the way back into the

712
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: game and was out a character for this Bills team,

713
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 2: that one play gave.

714
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 3: The Lions all of their chances in the second half,

715
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 3: all of them. If that play doesn't happen and it

716
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 3: was an aber and they saw it, they almost had it.

717
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 3: And that one play going in Lions a way, gave

718
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 3: him life throughout the last quarter and a half.

719
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 2: I think a lot of things were decidedly better on

720
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball. The score does not

721
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 2: show it, but the run defense was lights out. I

722
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 2: mean even in the second half, and I realized the

723
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:41,839
Speaker 2: Lions are passing to get back in the game. Seven

724
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 2: yards rushing in the second half, and I think they

725
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 2: had I mean, this is a team that's what are

726
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,919
Speaker 2: they a top five rushing offense? They had forty seven

727
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 2: rushing yards. And not for nothing. The Lions defense is

728
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 2: second in points allowed. They hung forty eight on them,

729
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 2: second in the NFL, and points allowed eighteen points a game.

730
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 2: They scored thirty more than their average.

731
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 3: I mean, I'll say this too, I'm not worried about

732
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 3: and I know this too. The Bills were rolling offensively.

733
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 3: They had sixty eight offensive plays. They had thirty four

734
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 3: runs and thirty four passes. They were a fifty to

735
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 3: fifty split. Yeah, the Bills really did. The Bills dictated

736
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 3: play and really game was in control tool to a

737
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 3: large measure on both sides of the ball. Because of

738
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 3: the success of their offense. The Lions had to make

739
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 3: different decisions, uh, philosophically, offensively and defensively because the Bills

740
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 3: offense was on such a roll and their defensive line

741
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 3: snapped off the run game every time they tried it.

742
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 3: So it was a clinic Brownie's right. This game was

743
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 3: not as close as the score indicator they were. They

744
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 3: tried two on side kicks and I mean that one

745
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 3: so twelve left in the game. Yeah, and I and

746
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 3: this is exactly the what the Bills have done. Even

747
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:06,439
Speaker 3: in the early parts of the season. They don't care

748
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 3: if it looks close. At the end, they just squeeze

749
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 3: the life out of the game. They run out of

750
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 3: the lions, run out of possessions at the end of

751
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 3: that game.

752
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 2: Let's go to Cindy and Niagara Falls next. What's up

753
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 2: Cindy O?

754
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 7: Hi guys.

755
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 8: First of all, I just want to say that the

756
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 8: Bills played amazing. The defense, different defense than I've seen

757
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 8: in a while. Offense is always wonderful. My question is,

758
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 8: what do you guys think about the hair pulling of

759
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 8: the dregs? You know, to me, that is as bad

760
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 8: as a horse collar.

761
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's officiated differently, and I'll tell you how

762
00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 2: it's officiated. Cindy. Oh, go ahead, Sorry, it's me all

763
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 2: the way back.

764
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 8: Can can the people that do want their dreads and

765
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 8: I get it? Can they grease their dregs?

766
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 2: Well, theyrease their dreads?

767
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 3: I guess you can't. Research It's just like putting stick

768
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 3: them on your hands. You can't do that yet. Yeah.

769
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 2: So here's here's the rule. Under the NFL letter of

770
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 2: the law. The reason the horse collar is illegal is

771
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 2: because it's part of a player's uniform and you can't

772
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 2: grab their shoulder pads and pull them down from behind

773
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 2: because it's an injury risk. The hair is ruled as

774
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 2: a part of the body, not a part of the uniform,

775
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 2: and therefore it is free to use to tackle a player.

776
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 2: I don't know if I necessarily agree with it, but

777
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 2: that's the rule under the NFL's guidelines. Hair part of

778
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 2: the body, shoulder pads part of equipment. Can't pull a

779
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 2: player down by that, just like you can't pull them

780
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 2: down by their face masks, right, that kind of.

781
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 3: Like pulling them. They consider it like pulling them down

782
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 3: by their arm or their leg.

783
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are up at it's the break here, but

784

Speaker 2: plus passing yards and sixty plus rushing yards in the

797
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 2: same game that includes playoffs in NFL history. Allen is

798
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 2: also the first player in NFL history with at least

799
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 2: two touchdown passes and two rushing touchdowns in consecutive games

800
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 2: in the first player all time with three such games

801
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:09,439
Speaker 2: in a season. Chew on that, Lamar Jackson fans. Yeah, sorry,

802
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 2: I'm a little bitter. Those are the numbers. Didn't matter.

803
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 2: Got to get back to the phones at eight oh

804

809
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 9: Hi, guys, how you doing good?

810
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:29,959
Speaker 6: Look?

811
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 9: I uh wanted to nicely. Quo backed Steve on something

812
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 9: that he said earlier in the program. Uh on sidekicks,

813
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 9: Steve said something about he's never heard of one before.

814
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 9: Before the third quarter the Super Bowl forty four.

815
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, the same.

816
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, that was different. That was different. That was

817
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 3: a surprise on side kick and it was done, and

818
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 3: that was different. I mean, you can't do those anymore.

819
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, and.

820
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 2: I Steve was saying under the new rules, that's the

821
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 2: earliest he's seen an on side kick. That's plus plus.

822
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 3: I mean, surprise on sidekicks you could do, like I've

823
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 3: seen one on the opening. My good friend Bruce de

824
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 3: Haven god Rest his soul was special teams coach of

825
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys under Bill Parcells, and Philly tried one

826
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 3: of those against the Dallas Cowboys and Bruce was on

827
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 3: it and they returned it for a touchdown out of

828
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 3: the gate, right off the top of the gate. So

829
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 3: I've seen that this is different when a team's in

830
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 3: desperation and they and they got a call and.

831
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,880
Speaker 2: They announce that there's no surprise.

832
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 3: You are right. There have been earlier on side kicks,

833
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 3: but those were all surprise.

834
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 2: Attempts, and you don't have the element of surprise anymore

835
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 2: with that part of the game because of where the

836
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 2: new dynamic kicker.

837
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 3: I've never seen I've never say line up for an

838
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 3: on side kick.

839
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 2: They have to declare it to the officials and then

840
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 2: it's announced.

841
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 3: Right back in the day, they didn't line up up

842
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 3: for the on side kick. They just kicked a surprise

843
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 3: on side. So yeah, you're right there the earlier.

844
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 2: Let's go to Lee in Corning. What's up Lee?

845
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 10: Good afternoon, gentlemen. How are you good? Chris? I want

846
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 10: to tell you last night, after the game was over,

847
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 10: I felt like break dancing. I'm not gonna lie today.

848
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 10: After listening to you in an opening segment, I feel

849
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 10: like I could run through a prick wall getting fired

850
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 10: right back.

851
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a little orinery. Sorry, there's still naysayers about

852
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 2: Josh Allen. I just don't get it. I really don't.

853
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 10: That's all right, they'll be silent shortly. But anyway, the

854
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 10: question I have for you, with our losses that we've

855
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 10: had this year against the really good teams, do you

856
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 10: think you see maybe the inexperience of Bobby Babbage, And

857
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 10: if so, at what point does maybe Sean McDermott step

858
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:52,959
Speaker 10: in like he did with Lesson Frasier. That's my first question.

859
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 10: My second question I have for you is what would

860
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 10: it take now for Sean McDermot to even win Coach

861
00:45:58,640 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 10: of the Year.

862
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good question, because that seems to be

863
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 2: hard to come by. Also, I almost feel like people

864
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 2: discount Sean McDermott skills as a head coach because of

865
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 2: who he has at quarterback. I think I think it

866
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 2: works against coach McDermott, and it has the last several years.

867
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 2: I mean, Kevin Stefanski the first time he wanted, I

868
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 2: thought coach McDermott was more than worthy of winning it.

869
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 2: Stefanski's won it twice because he coaches for Cleveland, which

870
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 2: has been one of the most backwards franchises for the

871
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 2: better part of the last thirty years. You know, the

872
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,439
Speaker 2: Bills were in a seventeen year playoff drought. He gets

873
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,280
Speaker 2: into the playoffs in his first year coaching with Tyrod

874
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 2: Taylor as his quarterback. Okay, fine, you don't give it

875
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 2: to him there. Twenty twenty, they go thirteen and four,

876
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 2: go to the AFC title Game. Doesn't get it there.

877
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how many you know. Now

878
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 2: he's the fifth coach in NFL history with five straight

879
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 2: eleven win seasons, joining four guys who are two or

880
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame and the other two will

881
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 2: be at some point. So look, I don't know what

882
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 2: you gotta do to get him there, but yeah, And

883
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 2: then concerning your defensive question about Bobby Babbage, Yes, they

884
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 2: lost to the Houston Texans. Yes, they lost to the

885
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens, two teams that are going to be in

886
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 2: the playoffs. But they also beat the Chiefs and held

887
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 2: them to twenty one points. And they also beat the

888
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,240
Speaker 2: Lions and held them to fourteen points through three quarters.

889
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 2: So I mean they beat I think Bobby Babbage has

890
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 2: proved his metal this year as a first year coordinator.

891
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 2: That's just me.

892
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,240
Speaker 3: They beat the two to one seeds late in the season.

893
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 3: If you consider the Chiefs game late in the season,

894
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 3: I mean it was Week thirteen, it was weak. Yeah,

895
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 3: so yeah, I mean.

896
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 2: I think for a first year coordinator, he has done

897
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 2: a very good.

898
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 3: Join week eleven, they beat the Chiefs eleven, week eleven, No,

899
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 3: that's not right.

900
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 2: Yes, week eleven, so you already knew who they were

901
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 2: by then, Yes, and you know the time, defending Super

902
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 2: Bowl champs and they're sitting at the one seed week

903
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:04,439
Speaker 2: eleven of the next year, so they're pretty good.

904
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 3: And then this the Lions team was the flavor of

905
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 3: the month, flavor of the year with what happened to

906
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 3: them last year, and the Bills beat them, and they

907
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 3: did the Lions on the road. I know you were watching,

908
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 3: so you know that. But yeah, yeah, I think.

909
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 2: Coach McDermott certainly weighs in at certain times during a game,

910
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,479
Speaker 2: like any head coach does. I mean, even Marv would

911
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 2: do that. And you know, tell Marga Broda, you got

912
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 2: two plays here, we're going forward on fourth down, or

913
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 2: chime in with something else.

914
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 3: Far as taking over for Bobby Babbage, that's that's I

915
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 3: don't anticipate there's a ton in that question because I

916
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 3: don't know the dynamics between those two. I don't know

917
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 3: how much Sean McDermott, for instance, like looks over the

918
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 3: shoulder of Bob Babbage because he's a first year coordinator.

919
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 3: I would imagine that has gotten less and less over

920
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 3: the course of this season the last couple of weeks.

921
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 3: I'm sure Sean McDermott and Babbage both have their finger

922
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 3: on the pulse as to why they coughed up all

923
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 3: those points last week. And like Brownie said, there's two

924
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,280
Speaker 3: different games. Even though they look similar. I'm sure McDermott

925
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 3: and Babbage both have their hand on the pulse of

926
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 3: the reasons why the Bills did that, and I think they're,

927
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 3: like Brownie said, they are different reasons in both those cases.

928
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,399
Speaker 3: So I don't know. We have no reason to think

929
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 3: McDermott has any lack of trust in Bob Babbage's ability

930
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 3: to call a game in difficult spots or whatever spot

931
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 3: on the field or whatever situation in the game that

932
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 3: there is.

933
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 2: And I'll say this too, Steve. Both Bobby Babbage and

934
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott have both said that they see a lot

935
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,959
Speaker 2: of things the same way defensively, and I think very

936
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 2: often their philosophies about calling this defensive system run parallel

937
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 2: to one another a lot, and I think it's one

938
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 2: of the main reasons Sean McDermott felt comfortable handing the

939
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 2: defensive reins over to a forty year old coordinator, first

940
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 2: time coordinator at the NFL level anyway. So I think

941
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 2: they see a lot of things the same way, and

942
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 2: I think they're very often on the same page with

943
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 2: the same kind of thinking.

944
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 3: And I'll say this to given my what I've seen

945
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 3: around the National Football league on in the course of my experience,

946
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 3: which is, you know, a long time head coaches are

947
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 3: listening to the conversations all the time, both offensively and defensively.

948
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 3: So McDermott has his ear on what the offense is

949
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 3: doing on a play to play basis and down a

950
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 3: distance basis, as well as the defense. And he has

951
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 3: a voice in those conversations. So if he thinks Bob

952
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 3: Babbage is doing something, he'll say, Bob, send the pressure,

953
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 3: or do this, make the second call this or that,

954
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 3: or Bob get to think about this or that. He

955
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 3: chimes in on all those conversations on an ongoing basis

956
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 3: during the game. Now he doesn't do it all the

957
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 3: time because there's only so much you can get in

958
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 3: and Babbage is already out ahead of it. But yes,

959
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 3: a head coach always does that. They all of them

960
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 3: always do that. Some of them might not, but whenever

961
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 3: you see ahead. Some of them, like Mike Tomlin, walks

962
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 3: around on the sidelines quite often without a headset yep.

963
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 3: But when they've got the headset on, it's for a reason.

964
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 3: It is for a reason. So don't think that McDermott

965
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:17,320
Speaker 3: doesn't have his voice in those conversations, and obviously, because

966
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 3: his voice is in the conversation, so is his influence.

967
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 2: We also have an announcement to make there is a

968
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 2: flex scheduling concerning the Bills game this Sunday. So if

969
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 2: you're coming to Higmark Stadium for Sunday's game, it is

970
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 2: no longer at one pm. It has been flexed to

971
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 2: four twenty five Bill's Patriots this Sunday, December twenty second.

972
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 2: One of the main reasons why look at the four

973
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 2: o'clock schedule of games and you'll see not a lot

974
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:50,760
Speaker 2: of sexy matchups, shall we say, for this coming week,

975
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 2: Week sixteen. As I look over the schedule now quickly

976
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 2: here four o'clock schedule as follows Viking Seahawks, that is

977
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 2: presumable believe the Fox game because it's NFC. But the

978
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:07,280
Speaker 2: other four o'clock games Jaguars, Raiders, a three win team

979
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:11,359
Speaker 2: and a two win team Niners Dolphins, both of those

980
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 2: teams pretty much going to be on the outside looking

981
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 2: in as far as the playoff race is concerned. So

982
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 2: with those two games the only options for CBS, they

983
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:25,280
Speaker 2: have chosen to flex Patriots Bills to their four o'clock window.

984
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 2: So the Bills once again going to more television households

985
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 2: with the most exciting player to watch in the entire league,

986
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 2: Josh Allen. Yeah, that's going to the Patriots.

987
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 3: And I forget about the Patriots. They're flexing Josh Allen.

988
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 2: Yes they are.

989
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 3: I mean that's what they're doing.

990
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 2: Fourteen touchdowns in the last three weeks.

991
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 3: They're flexing Josh. And they know too that the closer

992
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 3: this thing gets to the end of the season, the

993
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 3: fewer chances they're going to have potentially of him with

994
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 3: a baseball cap on in the second half.

995
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. So that is your update. If you're coming to

996
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 2: the game on Sunday, you got a little extra time.

997
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 2: It's now a four to twenty five kickoff against the

998
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 2: Patriots here in week sixteen on December twenty second. Adjust

999
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 2: your schedules accordingly. We will step aside and take a

1000
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 2: break here when we come back. Going to be joined

1001
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 2: by our good friend and my broadcast partner on the

1002
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 2: Bills Radio network, Eric Wood for his thoughts on yesterday's

1003
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,320
Speaker 2: win over the Lions here on One Bill's Live on

1004
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 2: a Buffalo Football Monday.

1005
00:53:21,520 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 11: Stay with us.

1006
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: This one Bills Lines presented by Kalida health.

1007
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back to a Buffalo Football Monday. Chris Brown,

1008
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker. Please to be joined now by my broadcast

1009
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 2: partner on the Bills radio network, Eric Wood, who is

1010
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 2: the color analyst on the broadcast. And Eric, I've got

1011
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,760
Speaker 2: to start here because I made the mistake of watching

1012
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 2: all of the national shows that review the week that

1013
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 2: was whether it's Good Morning Football or SportsCenter or what

1014
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 2: have you, And I really just want the Bills to

1015
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 2: get some honest to goodness credit. I mean the talk

1016
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 2: about the Detroit Lions defense being decimated by injury and

1017
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 2: how they climb back into the game. In my estimation

1018
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 2: three minutes left in the third quarter, it's a seventeen

1019
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 2: point game. And let's not forget the Bills had three

1020
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five yards of total offense in the

1021
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 2: first half. This was not as close. Is the final

1022
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 2: score indicated? Please held me.

1023
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 12: Yeah, Well, then they all need to switch up their

1024
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 12: power rankings because everyone had Detroit number one in the

1025
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 12: NFL last week. So if all the analysts that picked

1026
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 12: against the Bills last week and also say that the

1027
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 12: Lions were the best team in the NFL coming in,

1028
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 12: were they just the best offense. Is that what they

1029
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 12: thought they weren't the best team, they were just the

1030
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 12: best offense, or they were previously number one in the

1031
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:28,439
Speaker 12: power rankings. And they got healthier on defense this week.

1032
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 12: Now they lost guys during the game as well, but

1033
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 12: they got three defensive linemen back for this game against

1034
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 12: the Bills, And so yeah, I mean we could talk

1035
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 12: about injuries as well. The Bills played in that game

1036
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 12: yesterday with three guys out in the secondary Matvelano leaves

1037
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 12: with the groin injury. The Bills have their own issues

1038
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 12: as well, and so you know, you can miss me

1039
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 12: with all that, and that's okay. You know, ultimately they're

1040
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 12: probably they're likely not watching every second of the game,

1041
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 12: and not every second of the Bills, like we have

1042
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 12: to see this progression to absorb it each and every week. Yes,

1043
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 12: we could talk about, you know, the injuries on the

1044
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 12: Detroit's defense, but the seven other teams we played in

1045
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 12: previous weeks, consecutive previous weeks couldn't hold the Bills to less.

1046
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 13: Than thirty points. So you know, it is what it is.

1047
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 12: And as much as they're taking away maybe from you know,

1048
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 12: the win because of Josh or because of the defense

1049
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 12: being banged up for Detroit.

1050
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 13: Everyone's sure giving Josh Allen his credit today.

1051
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 3: I'll say this too, it was almost an admission by

1052
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 3: the lines that they had no answers when they're going

1053
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 3: for an on side kick twelve minutes left in the

1054
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,840
Speaker 3: fourth quarter. It's the earliest on side kick I have

1055
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 3: ever witnessed.

1056
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:45,240
Speaker 2: It's the earliest one this year.

1057
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 3: And I gotta tell you, I kind of get it.

1058
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 3: I thought it might have been the right call. It

1059
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 3: fells right in line with Dan Camt. Certainly they had

1060
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 3: to have some things, and even after that kick, they

1061
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 3: still got it back to where it was a six

1062
00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 3: point game and all the timeouts and stuff there. Our

1063
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 3: offense was really humming, just like the Bills was. But

1064
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 3: that on side kick at the beginning of the fourth

1065
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 3: quarter was an admission to like, we got no answers

1066
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:11,359
Speaker 3: for this, and we're gonna have to get the ball

1067
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 3: back more than once to in succession to have a

1068
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 3: chance at winning this game because they're gonna score again.

1069
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 3: We figured it, and certainly the Bills did.

1070
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 12: Yeah, we saw it last week against the Rams when

1071
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 12: they decided to go for it on fourth and five

1072
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 12: as opposed to try and make it a five point game.

1073
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 12: They go for it and end up scoring a touchdown

1074
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 12: on that drive. But you're seeing the amount of respect

1075
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 12: that Josh Allen in this Bill's offense is getting. Historically,

1076
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 12: it's a seven percent chance that you get an on

1077
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 12: side kick, and so you know, you're saying your defense

1078
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 12: has a worse shot at that than holding them from

1079
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 12: points here. Now, they kicked too excellent onside kick attempts,

1080
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 12: so you know, maybe Dan Campbell saw what he needed

1081
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 12: to see in practice and said, this isn't a seven

1082
00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 12: percent this might be a forty sixty ball the way

1083
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 12: we can kick onside kicks. I mean, the one Mac

1084
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 12: Collins barely gets a fingertip on it. Now does that

1085
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 12: ball go out of bounds if it goes over his

1086
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 12: head potentially? And then the other one, the dribbler to

1087
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 12: Terren Johnson, that was another really good attempt, so he

1088
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 12: you know, obviously he had some confidence in that, but

1089
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 12: it's it's an ultimate sign of respect. Does you know

1090
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 12: when you get to the point where teams are saying,

1091
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 12: we got to either try and steal a possession or

1092
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 12: we cannot give them the ball back, and at least

1093
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 12: we got to at least be up seven if the

1094
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 12: Bills get the ball at the end of the game,

1095
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 12: because they're gonna win it otherwise.

1096
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the defensive performance here, Eric, As you said,

1097
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 2: both starting safeties out, a starting cornerback out, and the

1098
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 2: defensive line really had to come to play, especially after

1099
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 2: playing below their standard the previous week, and they come

1100
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 2: out and they light it up. I mean, first of all,

1101
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 2: they completely neutralize a run game that's one that's been

1102
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 2: one of the best in football. They have never gone

1103
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 2: for under one hundred yards all season in any game

1104
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 2: the Lions, and they basically neutralize that run game to

1105
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 2: the point where David Montgomery's on the bench by the

1106
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 2: time they're on their third possession. They also get twenty

1107
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 2: five total QB pressures on Jared Goff in the game,

1108
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 2: the most he has faced all season.

1109
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, it was an impressive effort, especially by the guys

1110
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 12: up front. And you know, you're you always got to

1111
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 12: examine some things when you give up over forty points

1112
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 12: in a game defensively. But when you look at the

1113
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 12: way the defensive line started out the week getting called

1114
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 12: out after the Rams game and Ed Oliver in particular,

1115
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 12: those guys got called out, and then they showed up

1116
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 12: to play yesterday against an offensive line that many say

1117
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 12: is the best offensive line in football. A lot of

1118
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 12: people think Frank Ragnow is the best center in football

1119
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 12: right now today is so likely the best right tackle

1120
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 12: in football. So collectively, a lot of people have given

1121
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 12: him that title throughout the season, and they've earned it.

1122
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 12: They've earned it with their offensive performance. They got the

1123
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 12: number one scoring offensive league, and they stay bounced, they

1124
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 12: run the football as good as any So the offensive

1125
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 12: line is going to get that credit. But then Ed

1126
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 12: Oliver shows up yesterday. He has ten pressures on forty

1127
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 12: two pass rush attempts. That's the most in the NFL

1128
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 12: by a defensive tackle all.

1129
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 13: Season this year.

1130
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 12: And so, you know, you've watched games and we'll watch

1131
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 12: you know, Chiefs highlights and you'll see Chris Jones makeing

1132
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 12: plays and say, you know, why can't we have a

1133
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 12: guy that does that? Will Ed Oliver had more pressures

1134
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 12: in the game yesterday than any d tackle has had

1135
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 12: in a game all season. Now, can he consistently do

1136
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 12: that week in a week out? Obviously that's unsustainable to

1137
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 12: say that he's gonna, you know, set records each and

1138
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 12: every week or set you know, season records and benchmarks

1139
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 12: for guys each and every week, but it's just the well,

1140
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 12: how did Sean McDermott say that after the game, there

1141
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 12: was a different focus and and you know, sometimes it

1142
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 12: takes getting hit in the mouth like they did out

1143
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 12: in LA after clinching the division and two big wins

1144
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 12: over the forty nine ers in Kansas City. Sometimes it

1145
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 12: takes getting hit in the mouth to you know, re

1146
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 12: exam and you know where you're at as a team

1147
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 12: is a defense. And you know, obviously wasn't perfect defensively yesterday,

1148
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 12: far from it, but there was some encouraging things in

1149
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 12: the play from the defensive line, and especially at Oliver

1150
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 12: was one of them.

1151
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 3: And how do you think the safety the safeties in

1152
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 3: the corners? I mean, Kyrie Elam saw a bunch of reps.

1153
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:23,439
Speaker 3: Rasul Douglass was out, Damar was out, Rap was out.

1154
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 3: So you know, he had all these guys in and

1155
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 3: they had to make do Cole Bishop had to leave

1156
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:30,919
Speaker 3: and then come you know, get an IV and come back.

1157
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 3: Mulane had to leave with a groin injury. It was

1158
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 3: bad in the back end, and yet they they held

1159
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 3: up enough to get the w Yeah, they.

1160
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 12: Held up enough and and you know, without watching the tape,

1161
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 12: and even watching the tape with the defensive coaches, I'll

1162
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 12: kind of just reserve myself to their judgment on their

1163
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 12: individual play.

1164
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 6: Now.

1165
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 12: I saw flashes from each and every one of them individually.

1166
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 12: You know, Benford's still playing at a high level. Kyrie

1167
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 12: Elam made a couple of nice plays on the outside.

1168
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 12: Both the safeties looked really good, and run support gave

1169
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 12: up a little bit laid in the game. But you know,

1170
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 12: we could talk about those you know, eight to ten

1171
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 12: yard throws over the middle that golf.

1172
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 13: Continued to hit.

1173
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 12: Well, you know, I could sit here and say, well,

1174
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 12: that's that's either the linebacker's fault or the safety's fault

1175
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 12: for not kind of rolling down to that area. But

1176
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 12: the philosophy might have been, as long as they sustain

1177
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:23,840
Speaker 12: drives here in the second half, they cannot beat us.

1178
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 13: We just can't let him score quickly.

1179
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 12: So I'm not gonna harp too bad on those guys

1180
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 12: individual performances. I will say after the game, I noticed

1181
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 12: a tweet that went out from Jamiladie the Bills, the

1182
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 12: defensive backs coach who was praising Kyrie Elam after the game,

1183
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 12: talking about how hard work pays off and way to

1184
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 12: go champ One. I loved, you know, just how he

1185
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 12: chose to build him up, a guy that has self

1186
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 12: proclaimed that he has had some confidence issues and it

1187
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 12: has been tough on him as a first rounder to

1188
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 12: not be on the field, but then to have a

1189
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 12: coach lift him up after the game and praise him

1190
01:02:58,560 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 12: in the media.

1191
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 13: I thought it was really cool scene.

1192
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 2: And then we'd be remiss if we don't mention the

1193
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 2: touchdown factory that is Josh Allen. I mean, it's ridiculous.

1194
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 2: Fourteen combined touchdowns in the last three games. You know,

1195
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 2: runs for two more yesterday, throws for another couple, and

1196
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:20,480
Speaker 2: you know, continues to set records. First player in NFL

1197
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 2: history with two plus passing, two plus rushing touchdowns and

1198
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 2: consecutive games, second consecutive season with twenty five passing touchdowns

1199
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 2: are more and ten rushing touchdowns are more. Kyler Murray,

1200
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 2: Cam Newton the only other guys to do that all time.

1201
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 2: It just becomes it's almost laughable. I mean, how many

1202
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 2: different records he seems to set each and every week.

1203
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,840
Speaker 2: I put to you this way, Eric Sports Center had

1204
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 2: Josh's chest pass touchdown to Dalton Kinkaid that didn't count

1205
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 2: on their top ten. It didn't even count yesterday. I mean,

1206
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 2: he's just stupid. I'm sorry.

1207
01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's been fun to watch.

1208
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,440
Speaker 12: It's been fun to cover for years, but this year especially,

1209
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 12: he's been really fun.

1210
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 13: And you talk about that chess pass.

1211
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 12: My favorite part about the chess pass is before it's

1212
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 12: even caught, he's turning the other way. He did the

1213
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 12: Steph Curry three pointer. I knew I made it, and

1214
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 12: I'm going the other way. You know, no one even

1215
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 12: attempts something like that, and he's out there making these

1216
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 12: split second decisions. Like I gotta ask him, like, have

1217
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 12: you done that in practice before? Have you done that

1218
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 12: in a high school game of college game? Because how

1219
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 12: does it hit your brain in that moment that that's

1220
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 12: what's gonna come out? And I know he's a freak athlete,

1221
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 12: and you know he's so competitive and aggressive that I

1222
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 12: guess stuff like that comes out, But you know, how

1223
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 12: does I just want to know, like, in that moment,

1224
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 12: what makes you feel like, Okay, I got to pull

1225
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 12: out an old basketball chess pass. I haven't played basketball

1226
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 12: since fireball high school. But I'm gonna chess pass this

1227
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 12: one into the end zone.

1228
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 13: But to me, and Sean.

1229
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 12: McDermott said after the game, this is the best version

1230
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 12: of Josh Allen he's seen. And this doesn't need to

1231
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 12: become a bash Stefon Diggs, you know, one Bill's Live show.

1232
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 12: But to me, this year, it's become evident that there's

1233
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 12: was times previously where he was likely forcing the ball

1234
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 12: to Digs or potentially to Davis. You know this year,

1235
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:16,919
Speaker 12: Amari Cooper leads the team in targets. A week ago,

1236
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 12: he's got zero catches.

1237
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 13: This week.

1238
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 12: There wasn't a single issue throughout the game. Nobody cares

1239
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 12: he's walking in the locker room all smiles. This is

1240
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 12: an unselfish group offensively, and Josh Allen can have different

1241
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 12: guys step up each and every week and simply attack

1242
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:33,920
Speaker 12: the matchups. Chris, we talked over and over in the

1243
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 12: pregame about how they're gonna be in base defense, and

1244
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 12: even if they're a nickel, they played the highest percentage

1245
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 12: of man a man defense and they give up the

1246
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 12: most yards in the league to the slot. So whether

1247
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 12: that's James Cook or the other backs or Khalil Shakir

1248
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 12: or Dalton Kin, cater Dawson, Knox. Those guys got to

1249
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 12: crush this defense.

1250
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 13: Well they did.

1251
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 12: The tight ends and the running backs combined for over

1252
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 12: three hundred yards in the game. Tyd Johnson goes for

1253
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 12: over one hundred yards. Where you don't have James Cooks

1254
01:05:58,280 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 12: in there pounding on the sideline saying, why do we

1255
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:02,000
Speaker 12: script that second player of the game the wheel route

1256
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 12: to me? You know, I'm the second round draft pick here,

1257
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 12: I'm the one trying to get paid this offseason. And

1258
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 12: instead cook instead, you know, doesn't hang us head. He

1259
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 12: goes for one hundred dollards rushing in the game. It's

1260
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 12: it's fun to watch collectively, and you could tell how

1261
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 12: much Josh is enjoying it.

1262
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 3: So you got this quarterback since twenty twenty one. I

1263
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:25,920
Speaker 3: just got this from Pro Football Focus. Since twenty twenty one, Josh,

1264
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 3: you got one hundred and sixty four total touchdowns. It's

1265
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 3: thirty more than the next than any other quarterbacks got

1266
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:37,080
Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty four since twenty twenty one. Now,

1267
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 3: and all that's good, and Josh is juggernaut, But yesterday

1268
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 3: I noticed something that maybe went under maybe it's been there,

1269
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 3: but maybe it hasn't. But it's not just me. Joe

1270
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:49,960
Speaker 3: Brady was masterful in his play calling, his play design,

1271
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 3: the timing of those plays, the misdirection, some of the

1272
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:57,480
Speaker 3: easy throws that Josh had. And also we saw about

1273
01:06:57,520 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 3: five or six touch passes from Josh, some of them

1274
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,800
Speaker 3: down the field and then some of them like the

1275
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 3: Ty Johnson touchdown right after the maccollins kick return, just

1276
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:10,479
Speaker 3: a little touch passes that were evident that weren't there.

1277
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 3: I thought Joe Brady had his most noticeable good game yesterday.

1278
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1279
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 12: I rarely tweeked during the game, but early on, after

1280
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 12: maybe the second drive, I had to just put the

1281
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 12: Joe Brady. I just wrote Joe Brady in a couple

1282
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 12: sweat emojis. I'm like, this dude's on fire right now.

1283
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,200
Speaker 12: It's unbelievable what he scripted for this game. I mean,

1284
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,280
Speaker 12: Josh was almost uncomfortable with how wide open guys where

1285
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 12: he was either leading them a little too far or

1286
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 12: not putting it right on him because you know, you're

1287
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 12: not used to guys that are running that wide open

1288
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:44,520
Speaker 12: in the NFL over and over. But you know, I

1289
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:47,920
Speaker 12: think that he's made life easy or on Josh Allen

1290
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 12: many times this year. And you know, if it means

1291
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 12: that the players got to stay home from the facility

1292
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 12: every Thursday so that Joe Brady can just sit there

1293
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 12: with his mastermind just put together a game plan like that,

1294
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 12: maybe we could do it. Just see it seemed like

1295
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,560
Speaker 12: they had a lot in for this game. And you know,

1296
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 12: I'm not naive enough to think to not think that

1297
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 12: maybe a day away from the players, where they're not

1298
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 12: in the meeting rooms and they're not out in the

1299
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 12: practice field, gave him a little extra time to maybe

1300
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 12: scour some more Detroit film and find some other matchups,

1301
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 12: some different play designs. I mean what they were doing

1302
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:24,720
Speaker 12: in the red zone, I mean they put him in

1303
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,160
Speaker 12: a blend or a back to back series. You got

1304
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 12: the read play where Dion's pulling around to block for Josh.

1305
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:34,599
Speaker 12: It's a walk in touchdown. The very next drive they

1306
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:36,720
Speaker 12: handed off the cook on the same play, it's a

1307
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:39,680
Speaker 12: walk in the other way as everyone pursues Josh. I mean,

1308
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 12: it was a job well done. And you know, on

1309
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 12: all those tackle pool plays, me and Chris were talking

1310
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 12: about it. The interior of the offensive line has to

1311
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:49,120
Speaker 12: do a good job to not give up penetration to

1312
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:51,839
Speaker 12: knock off those poolers. Well, the strength of the Detroit

1313
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:53,839
Speaker 12: defense right now has got to be their two defensive

1314
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:56,960
Speaker 12: tackles and Alee McNeil and Dj Reiders. So give those

1315
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 12: guys in the middle credit for allowing all those plays

1316
01:08:59,400 --> 01:08:59,799
Speaker 12: to develop.

1317
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Dion comes out to block somebody on

1318
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:05,679
Speaker 2: Josh's walking, There's nobody there to block. He had nobody

1319
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 2: to block. He's out there like, what do I do?

1320
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 2: He had nobody to block. It was crazy.

1321
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 3: He slowed down and start walking and looking to Josh,

1322
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:14,839
Speaker 3: and it was it was old. It was wild, amazing.

1323
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 2: As much credit as you know we give Joe Brady,

1324
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:19,759
Speaker 2: we probably have to tip our hat to Bobby Babbage

1325
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 2: because he had some changes in the game plan as well.

1326
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 2: You know, the Lions subscribed to some heavy sets too.

1327
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 2: Coming into the game. They played thirty five percent of

1328
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:30,719
Speaker 2: their snaps in twelve personnel. They also use an extra

1329
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 2: offensive lineman similar to the way the Bills used the

1330
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 2: jumbo package with Alec Anderson, and he countered with base defense.

1331
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 2: He put Dorian Williams on the field and it really

1332
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:40,360
Speaker 2: neutralized their run front.

1333
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:44,439
Speaker 12: It did, and they also played a lot less six

1334
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 12: man boxes even when they were in Nickel Cole Bishop

1335
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 12: where you mentioned it earlier, or you mentioned yesterday on

1336
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:52,759
Speaker 12: the broadcast, Chris how Cole Bishop played around the box

1337
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 12: a lot in college and he's comfortable there, and so

1338
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 12: the Bills were utilizing that.

1339
01:09:57,160 --> 01:09:58,679
Speaker 13: It's just a second start.

1340
01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 12: A team that loves to run the football and play

1341
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:03,599
Speaker 12: in heavy personnel package is perfect Cole Bishop. You could

1342
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 12: play around the box where you're likely still most comfortable

1343
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 12: based upon the amount of snaps that you had in college.

1344
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 12: And so I love them putting that base defense package

1345
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:14,959
Speaker 12: out there one because if you play Baltimore in the playoffs,

1346
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 12: you're gonna have to, you know, pull that defense out.

1347
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 12: Bills were so banged up at the time at the

1348
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:21,479
Speaker 12: second level of the defense, it'd have been hard to,

1349
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 12: you know, put three linebackers out there who you felt

1350
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:28,520
Speaker 12: great about in those situations. And so I love that adjustment.

1351
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 12: And you know, similar to how the Bills implemented that

1352
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 12: dime defense last year and got it going and now

1353
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:36,639
Speaker 12: they're super comfortable in that package. Maybe this base defense

1354
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:40,160
Speaker 12: is teams bring in bigger personnel and you haven't experienced

1355
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 12: linebacker and Dorian Williams, maybe you get into that a

1356
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 12: little bit more. Now, there's no piece of me that

1357
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 12: wants to take Taron Johnson off the field for extended plays.

1358
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 12: He's one of my favorite players in all of football

1359
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:54,320
Speaker 12: to watch. I think he is truly great at his

1360
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 12: craft and what he does, and he shows up every week. Now,

1361
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:00,559
Speaker 12: we got three games to go in the season. I

1362
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 12: would love to hear Taron Johnson as healthy as possible,

1363
01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 12: as fresh as possible for the playoffs. So are there

1364
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 12: opportunities over these next three weeks to bring in that

1365
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:11,160
Speaker 12: base defense? Maybe you just get tearing off the field

1366
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:15,679
Speaker 12: six seven, eight plays a game. Well, that's a decent

1367
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 12: amount of you know, non risky snaps where you have

1368
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 12: your all pro on the sideline and give them a

1369
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 12: little time off.

1370
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:26,719
Speaker 3: So we a month ago, we're sitting here talking about

1371
01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:30,599
Speaker 3: this next stretch of games that look so unbelievably difficult.

1372
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:33,080
Speaker 3: You're gonna play the Chiefs, you got a bye week,

1373
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 3: you got a Niners, the Rams and the Lions, and

1374
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 3: we're thinking, okay, you come out of there two and

1375
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:41,759
Speaker 3: two at best, just trying to cape. And that's before

1376
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 3: the Bills have wrapped up the division you don't know

1377
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 3: what's going to happen with the rest of the conference. Well, now,

1378
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:51,280
Speaker 3: the Bills in those four games, they scored more points

1379
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:53,719
Speaker 3: in each successive week. They started out scoring thirty against

1380
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 3: the Chiefs, beat them by nine, then thirty five against

1381
01:11:57,479 --> 01:12:00,040
Speaker 3: the Niners, then forty two against the Rams, now for

1382
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:03,720
Speaker 3: eight against the Lions. They're three to one coming out

1383
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 3: of that stretch. They've locked up the division. There's still

1384
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 3: the two seed chasing Kansas City. In the big picture,

1385
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 3: still a lot of football. You got another month left,

1386
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 3: you got three weeks left, your thoughts about how difficult

1387
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:26,560
Speaker 3: it'll be to get healthy and sharp into the playoffs,

1388
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 3: and still give yourself that outside chance as long as

1389
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:31,679
Speaker 3: it's on the table, the one seed, I.

1390
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:33,880
Speaker 12: Think it certainly is on the table, depending on how

1391
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:37,479
Speaker 12: this Mahomes ankle injury shakes out. They're currently an underdog

1392
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 12: according to Vegas against Houston this week, so apparently they

1393
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 12: think that Mahomes may not be able to play. They

1394
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:46,679
Speaker 12: play on Saturday, too, I believe, so one less day

1395
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 12: of rest. Then they turn around and go Wednesday against

1396
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:53,639
Speaker 12: the Steelers on Christmas Day. Do you want to put

1397
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:56,920
Speaker 12: Mahomes if he's not fully healthy out there with that

1398
01:12:57,120 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 12: Steelers pass rush in defense to potentially not allow him

1399
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 12: to play into the playoffs. I know they want that

1400
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:05,679
Speaker 12: one seed just like the Bills do. But the Bills

1401
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:08,040
Speaker 12: have three very winnable games. They got a fourteen point

1402
01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:12,880
Speaker 12: favorite spread this week against New England, and so things

1403
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:16,440
Speaker 12: could get interesting these next few weeks with that Mahomes

1404
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 12: what's suspected to be a high ankle sprain. So we'll

1405
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:21,639
Speaker 12: see how that shakes out. But you know, the Rams

1406
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:25,400
Speaker 12: lost hurts. The Chiefs banking in another field goal and

1407
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:29,960
Speaker 12: catching luck last week hurts as well, But there's still

1408
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 12: a shot at it. And I'll say this, if the

1409
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:34,360
Speaker 12: Bills and the Bills are in a great position now

1410
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 12: to get the two seed with a win yesterday and

1411
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:41,439
Speaker 12: then a Steelers lost to Philadelphia, if the Bills are

1412
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 12: the two seed, I don't think it's a lock that

1413
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:48,080
Speaker 12: in the divisional round, the Chiefs are just gonna advance,

1414
01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:50,439
Speaker 12: and you know, the Bills potentially would be going to

1415
01:13:50,479 --> 01:13:52,760
Speaker 12: Kansas City. You know, there's a shot that they could

1416
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:55,280
Speaker 12: get beat. You know, in the playoffs, they you know,

1417
01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 12: the luck runs out and then all of a sudden,

1418
01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:00,080
Speaker 12: we're still hosting games in high Mark Stadium. Now, I

1419
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 12: think that's most one of the most of the appealing

1420
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:06,400
Speaker 12: things about they are the one seed is obviously getting

1421
01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:07,719
Speaker 12: that first week off.

1422
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:09,519
Speaker 13: Just we saw what the first round of the.

1423
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 12: Playoffs said last year of the Bills just getting ravaged

1424
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:14,360
Speaker 12: with injuries on the defensive side of the football.

1425
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, they lost Bernard and Benfort in the game against

1426
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 2: the Steelers last year and did not have them the

1427
01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:23,679
Speaker 2: next week. I think the other concern too, is you've

1428
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:26,120
Speaker 2: got Houston and Baltimore, who obviously have head to head

1429
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 2: tiebreakers on the Bills. They're two back in the lost column,

1430
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:34,000
Speaker 2: and Baltimore has to play Pittsburgh this week. Houston, as

1431
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,400
Speaker 2: you said, Kansas City on a short week, they play

1432
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 2: Saturday this week. So that's good in terms of getting

1433
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:42,679
Speaker 2: Mahomes back on the field and not feeling one hundred percent.

1434
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:45,920
Speaker 2: And then on top of that, Baltimore and Houston have

1435
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 2: to play each other the following week, so they're gonna

1436
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 2: knock one of those teams off and at least have

1437
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 2: a sixth loss. So yes, I would tend to agree

1438
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 2: with you. It's looking pretty good there as far as

1439
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 2: locking up the two seed. Provided the Bill take care

1440
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 2: of what are three very winnable games here. Yeah.

1441
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:05,840
Speaker 13: Absolutely, that's the way I see it too.

1442
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:09,839
Speaker 12: And you know, if the Bills, the Bills could potentially

1443
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 12: go in the final week against New England, that could

1444
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 12: be one of those games where if the one seeds,

1445
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:18,559
Speaker 12: you know, out of play there, then you simply, you know,

1446
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 12: rest some guys for that game and you're not overly

1447
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:23,759
Speaker 12: concerned about it if you're locked into that two seed.

1448
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:26,960
Speaker 12: But if Kansas City could slip up, if Mahomes isn't

1449
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 12: able to play, and even if he is having to

1450
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:31,800
Speaker 12: play and he's hobbled, you know, it's not like they've been.

1451
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:34,439
Speaker 12: They've been world beaters this season. Yesterday they were up

1452
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 12: by three scores in the game for the first time

1453
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:39,880
Speaker 12: all season. They had not had a three score lead

1454
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 12: one time all year.

1455
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 2: They also have not scored thirty points at in any

1456
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 2: game this season. The Bills have eleven of those already.

1457
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:50,200
Speaker 2: All Right, Eric, thanks as always for the time. We

1458
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:52,559
Speaker 2: appreciate it. We'll see you out here this weekend.

1459
01:15:53,240 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 7: YEP.

1460
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:54,800
Speaker 13: Sounds good. Looking forward to you guys.

1461
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:57,519
Speaker 2: All right, So that's Eric Wood. We got to take

1462
01:15:57,520 --> 01:15:59,800
Speaker 2: a break here. Back to your phone calls along with

1463
01:15:59,840 --> 01:16:02,400
Speaker 2: this this week's Efficient Drive of the game. It's coming

1464
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 2: up next here on the Buffalo Football Monday on one

1465
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:16,639
Speaker 2: Bill's Live, presented by Colida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1466
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 2: This week's Efficient Drive of the game is presented by

1467
01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:25,559
Speaker 2: National Grid, a proud partner of the Buffalo Bills. Third quarter,

1468
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:29,280
Speaker 2: four plays seventy yards took just a minute in forty

1469
01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 2: nine seconds thanks to this forty one yard scamper by

1470
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 2: James Cook, who left the Lions secondary in the dust

1471
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:42,680
Speaker 2: for his second rushing touchdown of the game. That was

1472
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 2: that was great run. He's got three long ones. Forty

1473
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:50,479
Speaker 2: one yards against the Lions, forty nine yards against the

1474
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:53,320
Speaker 2: Dolphins in Week two, and sixty five yards in the

1475
01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 2: snow against the forty nine ers.

1476
01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:57,920
Speaker 3: It's strange because you feel like when Josh draws back,

1477
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:00,320
Speaker 3: any quarterback drops back and they throw the football, you know,

1478
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:02,360
Speaker 3: you feel like somebody's gonna catch it and run with it.

1479
01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 3: He's got a chance for a big play. Running plays,

1480
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 3: long running plays are so rare these days. They're showstoppers,

1481
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:14,599
Speaker 3: you know. And here you see him getting his hair

1482
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:19,480
Speaker 3: pulled A good stiff farm to very good stiff farm.

1483
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 3: A yeah, and in fact, it made it and made

1484
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:23,240
Speaker 3: it possible for him to get in. I mean, that

1485
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 3: was it. Great run and Cook has been a force

1486
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 3: this year, no question about it. Fun game. I mean

1487
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:36,320
Speaker 3: that we all love fans, you know. I mean, it's

1488
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:38,200
Speaker 3: so fun to see teams go back and forth and

1489
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:41,800
Speaker 3: go all over the yard and stuff. I'll say it again,

1490
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:47,080
Speaker 3: this Bill's defense, while it was statistically so much ranked

1491
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 3: so much higher earlier in Sean McDermott's career, it wasn't

1492
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 3: as fun. Even the defense that giving up forty points,

1493
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:55,479
Speaker 3: it wasn't as fun to watch, you know, because the

1494
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 3: defense now, you know, it's a like I said, I'll

1495
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:02,240
Speaker 3: say it again, it's a play defense, not a stifling defense.

1496
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:05,800
Speaker 3: And when they're healthy. They got a bunch of guys

1497
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:09,200
Speaker 3: on there, like Milano, like Rusuell Douglas, they got Benford,

1498
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:14,120
Speaker 3: you know, even Wrap a little bit, and certainly Rousseau

1499
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:18,080
Speaker 3: and Vaughn and ed up there, Ed turned it on yesterday.

1500
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 3: But they got guys that show up in moments. You know,

1501
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:24,800
Speaker 3: that's a lot more fun to watch sometimes, although I

1502
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:26,360
Speaker 3: get it. I mean it's fun to you know, have

1503
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:28,400
Speaker 3: their punter punt six times as well.

1504
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:33,160
Speaker 2: Bill's only punted once yesterday. I know only one time

1505
01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:36,599
Speaker 2: I know against the defense that was second in points

1506
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:38,720
Speaker 2: all out. I know one time.

1507
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:40,400
Speaker 3: We had the caller call up and say I was

1508
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 3: wrong about saying I'd never seen an on side kick

1509
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:47,040
Speaker 3: earlier in a game. There's been a ton of early

1510
01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:49,760
Speaker 3: on side kicks because their surprise on side kicks. Yeah,

1511
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:52,160
Speaker 3: but this day and age, you got to say, you

1512
01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 3: got to announce it to like a line. And then

1513
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:56,800
Speaker 3: back in the day in my day, when you had

1514
01:18:56,840 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 3: to line up for it and you kind of telegraph

1515
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:02,640
Speaker 3: it was going to be an on side. Man, the

1516
01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:04,839
Speaker 3: Lions were just saying, listen, we're waving the white flag

1517
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:05,559
Speaker 3: on our defense.

1518
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of what it was. With twelve minutes left, man,

1519
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 2: let's get back to the phones at eight oh three

1520
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:15,400
Speaker 2: zero five fifty one eight eight five fifty two fifteen,

1521
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:17,040
Speaker 2: then I'm gonna get on board. Got some open lines

1522
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 2: for you there as we're asking for your biggest takeaways

1523
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 2: from yesterday's victory over the Lions, and to Kevin and Hamburg,

1524
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 2: what's up Kevin?

1525
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:25,320
Speaker 14: Hey, guys, how you doing beg for taking my call? Sure,

1526
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:28,519
Speaker 14: I think the biggest takeaway of the game is how

1527
01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:32,479
Speaker 14: the defense didn't let Detroit keep coming. They let him

1528
01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:35,800
Speaker 14: come back, but not they toured like was didn't let

1529
01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 14: him keep coming closer than they already were except for

1530
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:41,360
Speaker 14: forty eight forty two. But I think you know what

1531
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:45,120
Speaker 14: anything the biggest takeaway, guys is in the mcterminal, look

1532
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 14: at this game and say, we really didn't have any

1533
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:51,759
Speaker 14: big turn over miss not too much mistake turnover wise,

1534
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 14: but like Dunce type blunders, you know, like the nine

1535
01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:59,640
Speaker 14: men on the field, or the dumb timeout after the

1536
01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:03,439
Speaker 14: failed thing last week, or the small like the twelve

1537
01:20:03,439 --> 01:20:06,879
Speaker 14: men last week in Denver. Just those Dunce type things

1538
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 14: that often come back to kick and the gut later.

1539
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:12,880
Speaker 14: That's another thing, and that's something I think they gotta

1540
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:16,639
Speaker 14: work even start working on, keep getting in that way.

1541
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:19,680
Speaker 14: We didn't do nothing Dune see that would get a

1542
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:22,840
Speaker 14: Dunce cap. Then we keep working on those things because

1543
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:25,760
Speaker 14: the more they go coach in the playoffs, that gets

1544
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:28,640
Speaker 14: even more important because those things they come back to

1545
01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:31,560
Speaker 14: bite you just as much as a pick six to

1546
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:33,640
Speaker 14: knock you out of a playoff game, as much as

1547
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:35,360
Speaker 14: a fumble return or something like that.

1548
01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:38,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they did. They played mistake free for the

1549
01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 3: most part, and you can say what you want. They

1550
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 3: the special teams came through with two really really good plays.

1551
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:46,559
Speaker 3: Terren Johnson to end the game, but Mac Collins to

1552
01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:48,639
Speaker 3: tap that ball to himself and get down the sidelines

1553
01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:51,240
Speaker 3: to set up yet another touchdown for the Bills. Was

1554
01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:55,640
Speaker 3: was unbelievable with really good play And yeah, when you

1555
01:20:55,680 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 3: don't turn it over and you're scoring forty plus points,

1556
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:05,720
Speaker 3: you really expect to win. But there's no question the

1557
01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:09,240
Speaker 3: Bills have got to play better defensively than they have

1558
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:12,920
Speaker 3: the last couple of weeks. Certainly got some plays, but

1559
01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:16,360
Speaker 3: you gotta, I mean you, you got to find a

1560
01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:21,120
Speaker 3: way to get the other team off the field more consistently.

1561
01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 3: That's that's really the takeaway for me. Defensively, you know,

1562
01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:29,840
Speaker 3: I get it. It was a really good offense, but

1563
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 3: you've got to find a way to get him off

1564
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:32,480
Speaker 3: the field more consistently.

1565
01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:36,120
Speaker 2: Back to the phones we go, and next up here

1566
01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 2: is Judy and Buffalo. What's up, Judy.

1567
01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:41,439
Speaker 15: You know, I think at the beginning of the season,

1568
01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:44,920
Speaker 15: I thought, I'm pretty sure I said the Bills would

1569
01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:48,760
Speaker 15: be a ten to seven team at best. Thankfully I

1570
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:52,800
Speaker 15: was wrong, and for half the season, I watched the

1571
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:57,400
Speaker 15: Bills use a player called mex Hollands. I wondered why

1572
01:21:58,040 --> 01:22:01,920
Speaker 15: because he wasn't contributing anything. I didn't know where in

1573
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:04,839
Speaker 15: the world he came from, and all of a sudden

1574
01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:10,680
Speaker 15: he's become a very reliable, impactful player. Please tell me

1575
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:15,920
Speaker 15: what is this Puy's history, because I'm really enthralled by

1576
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:20,120
Speaker 15: him as I was two years ago by Shakir. So

1577
01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:23,880
Speaker 15: help me out. What did the Bills see in this player?

1578
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, no problem, Judy, happy to help you there. Mac

1579
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:30,639
Speaker 2: Collins has bounced around the league. He's been a back

1580
01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:34,000
Speaker 2: end of a lot of receiving corps in the league.

1581
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:40,960
Speaker 2: Began his career with Philadelphia and was there for a season,

1582
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:45,120
Speaker 2: and then moved on to Miami. He was there for

1583
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:47,360
Speaker 2: three seasons, played for Las Vegas for a year, and

1584
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:50,599
Speaker 2: then Atlanta for a year, and then he's here. He's

1585
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 2: a fourth or fifth receiver on many rosters in the NFL.

1586
01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 2: Not going to blow you away with speed, not going

1587
01:22:57,800 --> 01:23:01,360
Speaker 2: to blow you away with elite route running traits. But

1588
01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:04,400
Speaker 2: he's a big, tall target at six foot four and

1589
01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:06,800
Speaker 2: runs well enough to help you on special teams, which

1590
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:10,800
Speaker 2: he does here and I think he's also and I've

1591
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 2: used this term for him before, he's a glue guy.

1592
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:15,639
Speaker 2: And what I mean by that is he's a guy

1593
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:19,639
Speaker 2: that everybody in the locker room likes, a guy that

1594
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:22,360
Speaker 2: can be a bit of a spark plug for a

1595
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:27,439
Speaker 2: team just with his demeanor and his attitude. And it's

1596
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:32,240
Speaker 2: very clear that everyone in that locker room loves that guy. Now,

1597
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:38,280
Speaker 2: the way this offense works that everybody eats mantra and

1598
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:41,680
Speaker 2: the injuries that they've had to the receiving corps have

1599
01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:45,360
Speaker 2: afforded him more opportunities here in one of the most

1600
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:48,640
Speaker 2: prolific offenses in the league than maybe anywhere else in

1601
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:51,879
Speaker 2: his career, maybe with the possible exception of Las Vegas,

1602
01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:55,920
Speaker 2: where they had nobody else in the receiving corps relied

1603
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:58,599
Speaker 2: on him heavily, and he provided a fifty seven catch

1604
01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:01,639
Speaker 2: nearly seven hundred yardsson for four touchdowns. But his five

1605
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 2: touchdowns here this season are the most he's ever had

1606
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:07,280
Speaker 2: in a single campaign, So he set a career high

1607
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:09,720
Speaker 2: for touchdown catches. And look, you think about the guy

1608
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:11,719
Speaker 2: who's been in out of the lineup. Steve Coleman missed

1609
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 2: four games, Ken Caid missed three games. Cooper missed two games,

1610
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:17,960
Speaker 2: Shaker mister a game, Shakier missed a game. Hollins has

1611
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:20,400
Speaker 2: been there through the whole thing. I mean, he has

1612
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:23,679
Speaker 2: been a Clydesdale in this receiving court.

1613
01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:26,120
Speaker 3: And I'll say this, I don't want to get too

1614
01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:32,960
Speaker 3: philosophical about it. It seems to me that Hollands landed

1615
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:36,679
Speaker 3: for the first time in his career in a culture

1616
01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 3: where he can thrive. He's got opportunity, and certainly he

1617
01:24:43,200 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 3: had a like he like Brownie said, when he was

1618
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:47,240
Speaker 3: with Raiders three years ago, in twenty twenty two, he

1619
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:49,400
Speaker 3: had fifty seven catches. That's a good year for him,

1620
01:24:49,760 --> 01:24:52,400
Speaker 3: his career year, and he's not going to match that

1621
01:24:52,439 --> 01:24:56,519
Speaker 3: this year here in Buffalo. But the guy is part

1622
01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:59,679
Speaker 3: of a culture and giving it, being given a chance

1623
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:02,840
Speaker 3: to contribute in a way that seems to by all.

1624
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:04,439
Speaker 3: And I don't know, I didn't watch him play that

1625
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:07,040
Speaker 3: much any other place, but it seems like it really

1626
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:10,720
Speaker 3: is in his wheelhouse. He seems to be in an atmosphere,

1627
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:13,200
Speaker 3: maybe for the first time in his career, where he

1628
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 3: loves his role. He's good at it. He's not being

1629
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:19,800
Speaker 3: asked to do anything, He's not good at and that

1630
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:22,880
Speaker 3: includes what he does off the field and the attitude

1631
01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 3: he brings to the room, and the information and the

1632
01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 3: experience he brings to the room. Maybe I'm reading more

1633
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:32,360
Speaker 3: into it than I thought, but it seems like to me,

1634
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 3: I mean, that guy is what everybody kind of wished

1635
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 3: Gabe Davis was when he was here. Gabe had moments,

1636
01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:49,599
Speaker 3: but Holland's man. Holland shows up at every opportunity. Whenever

1637
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:51,479
Speaker 3: he's he's now. But they don't go to him all

1638
01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:53,800
Speaker 3: the time, but man, when they need him, he's there.

1639
01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:59,000
Speaker 3: And this on side kick thing is speaks to his

1640
01:25:59,720 --> 01:26:03,240
Speaker 3: does desire to help however he can.

1641
01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:05,720
Speaker 2: And that's what makes him so appealing, not only to

1642
01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:07,559
Speaker 2: the coaching staff, but to the guys in the locker room.

1643
01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:11,040
Speaker 3: And so I think, you know, I think it's a

1644
01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:13,559
Speaker 3: he's a testament to a guy landing in a spot

1645
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:16,760
Speaker 3: with a culture that lets him be who he is,

1646
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 3: and he's really good at being that guy.

1647
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:22,240
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here on a Buffalo Football Monday.

1648
01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:23,840
Speaker 2: We'll be back with more of your phone calls here

1649
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:25,800
Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live, presented by Colid of Health. It's

1650
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:43,439
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bill's Radio, all right, back here on One Bill's

1651
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 2: Live on a Buffalo Football Monday, Chris Brown Steve Tasker

1652
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:47,439
Speaker 2: with you gonna get right back to the phones here

1653
01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:50,400
Speaker 2: is We've got some people waiting to get to and

1654
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:52,559
Speaker 2: leading us off in this segment will be pat down

1655
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:54,439
Speaker 2: in Jamestown. What do you got for his pat You're

1656
01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:55,160
Speaker 2: on one Bill's Live.

1657
01:26:56,600 --> 01:27:00,360
Speaker 16: Yeah, I had a question for Steve Casker being a

1658
01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:04,519
Speaker 16: former player on that third and seventeen that Detroit had.

1659
01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:09,120
Speaker 16: In my opinion, Benford looked like he went up with

1660
01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:12,640
Speaker 16: obviously two hands, look like he tried to make an interception.

1661
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:16,120
Speaker 16: Why don't you just try to go up with one hand.

1662
01:27:16,160 --> 01:27:18,800
Speaker 16: You can go up higher and just try to knock

1663
01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:22,559
Speaker 16: that ball down with third and seventeen rather than trying

1664
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:24,719
Speaker 16: to make an interception at that point, well.

1665
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:25,640
Speaker 3: I thought he was going to be able to make

1666
01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:27,840
Speaker 3: the best play there. The best play is to pick

1667
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,640
Speaker 3: it off. That's what you're always trying to do as

1668
01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:32,120
Speaker 3: a pro player, and that's what they tell you. And

1669
01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:35,919
Speaker 3: when you know, when if you ever played football, particularly

1670
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:38,280
Speaker 3: at lower level, like as a kid, as a little kid,

1671
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 3: like an eight nine, ten eleven year old, twelve year old,

1672
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:43,160
Speaker 3: they're saying when the ball comes loose, get on, just

1673
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 3: cover it. They don't say those things at the pros

1674
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:47,320
Speaker 3: when they when the ball comes out of the pros,

1675
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:49,479
Speaker 3: they tell you you scoop and you score, you make

1676
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:52,640
Speaker 3: the pro play. And that's what they're telling these defenders.

1677
01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:57,280
Speaker 16: I just thought in that situation. Whoever, I don't know.

1678
01:27:57,439 --> 01:27:59,760
Speaker 16: I can't remember how much time that was left, But

1679
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 16: to me, I guess I was wrong. I mean, I

1680
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:04,320
Speaker 16: played a lot of football, but I try to knock

1681
01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:06,800
Speaker 16: that ball down with third and seventeen rather than trying

1682
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:07,640
Speaker 16: to make the interception.

1683
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:10,880
Speaker 3: Talking about play, he did get it, Yeah, he did

1684
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:13,320
Speaker 3: get a hand on both hands on it, so he

1685
01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:15,160
Speaker 3: had a chance to think he was going to do it. Plus,

1686
01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:17,200
Speaker 3: I'll say this, I'm on Ross Saint Brown had no

1687
01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:20,200
Speaker 3: business catching that ball. It is as a receiver, I've

1688
01:28:20,240 --> 01:28:23,240
Speaker 3: seen it. It is so difficult to catch a tip

1689
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:26,280
Speaker 3: ball when it's that close to you after you know,

1690
01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:30,879
Speaker 3: after being thrown. And that that was the most impressive

1691
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:32,000
Speaker 3: part about that entire play.

1692
01:28:32,040 --> 01:28:34,200
Speaker 2: I think he is he talking about Bernard.

1693
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's talking about Bernard. Yeah, he said Ben, it's Bernard.

1694
01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:41,320
Speaker 3: That's why Terrell Bernard. And I'll say this too, Bernard.

1695
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:44,880
Speaker 3: Here's the thing. This is why I was thinking about

1696
01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:49,800
Speaker 3: this earlier. Bernard knew the play was coming, he knew

1697
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 3: the crosser was behind him. He got as much depth

1698
01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:54,519
Speaker 3: as he could, as fast as he could. He knew

1699
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:56,559
Speaker 3: he had a chance at it, got up and got

1700
01:28:56,920 --> 01:28:59,840
Speaker 3: If Bernard was then built like Tremaine Edmonds, that's a

1701
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:02,720
Speaker 3: going the other way. If Tremaine Edmonds could have caught it.

1702
01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:09,599
Speaker 3: But Tremaine Edmonds never never would have anticipated or droppen

1703
01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:12,120
Speaker 3: the you know what I mean, it's two different play

1704
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:15,400
Speaker 3: He doesn't have the instincts. Bernard sees that stuff, knows

1705
01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:18,519
Speaker 3: that stuff. He's telling guys it's coming before the ball

1706
01:29:18,600 --> 01:29:22,200
Speaker 3: is snapped, that's where that guy is. And so that's

1707
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:25,840
Speaker 3: but he's you know, he's six feet two thirty or

1708
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:29,920
Speaker 3: whatever it is, so he he goes with what he gets.

1709
01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:33,920
Speaker 3: You always want the smarter guy because he makes plays

1710
01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:36,559
Speaker 3: out ahead of it. And yeah, that play, you're right,

1711
01:29:36,640 --> 01:29:38,559
Speaker 3: it was a hair's breath. And I said it earlier.

1712
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:42,240
Speaker 3: That play in and of itself kept the Lions from

1713
01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:45,799
Speaker 3: getting blown out, that one play, because that changed everything

1714
01:29:45,800 --> 01:29:48,559
Speaker 3: from that point forward, because of their ability to score fast.

1715
01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:51,040
Speaker 3: Then the Bills had to say, Okay, we're gonna we're

1716
01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:53,439
Speaker 3: gonna do some things different. They kept letting Josh run

1717
01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:56,679
Speaker 3: the football to get first downs. They had to shorten

1718
01:29:56,720 --> 01:29:58,880
Speaker 3: the game because they didn't want the Lions to come

1719
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:01,880
Speaker 3: out and score another quick one. So that changed everything

1720
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:04,240
Speaker 3: from that point on when they when they made that catch,

1721
01:30:04,320 --> 01:30:07,040
Speaker 3: but the Bills had that thing defended. They had it

1722
01:30:07,760 --> 01:30:10,200
Speaker 3: and it was just a superlative play by Almon Ross

1723
01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:12,599
Speaker 3: Saint Brown that I can't tell you how impressive that

1724
01:30:12,640 --> 01:30:14,360
Speaker 3: catch was, even though it looked pedestrian.

1725
01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:17,479
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones and go to Scott

1726
01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:19,280
Speaker 2: on Grand Island. What do you got Scott?

1727
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:24,080
Speaker 6: Hi, Scott, how you guys doing good? Oh? I had

1728
01:30:24,080 --> 01:30:27,120
Speaker 6: a question for both of you guys real quick. Okay,

1729
01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:31,839
Speaker 6: maybe he should be like, uh, you know, I always

1730
01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:36,280
Speaker 6: worried about Josh Allon's house, you know, And I don't

1731
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:38,680
Speaker 6: know if he's faring for the the MVP to be

1732
01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:41,960
Speaker 6: host with I rather winning a Super Bowl.

1733
01:30:42,240 --> 01:30:43,240
Speaker 13: Yeah you know.

1734
01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:47,720
Speaker 6: But anyways, Yeah, I remember see Back of the damn

1735
01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:51,920
Speaker 6: fifty five years old. I remember was what Thurman Thomas

1736
01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:59,680
Speaker 6: and Kenneth Davis I believe and uh yeah, what it is?

1737
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:03,800
Speaker 6: I believe the false starts, with the penalties, with the

1738
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:06,519
Speaker 6: false starts off as the line, we have to clean

1739
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:10,280
Speaker 6: that up. And when it's down to like the one

1740
01:31:10,360 --> 01:31:13,360
Speaker 6: or two on the goal line, so many match you

1741
01:31:13,479 --> 01:31:16,400
Speaker 6: going to the shotgun, I mean touchbush, I mean you

1742
01:31:16,560 --> 01:31:18,320
Speaker 6: got to it.

1743
01:31:18,920 --> 01:31:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're talking about the end of the first half

1744
01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:25,120
Speaker 2: where they had They came away with nothing ultimately, but yeah,

1745
01:31:25,240 --> 01:31:28,320
Speaker 2: I get what you're saying. They only had six penalties

1746
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:28,920
Speaker 2: and they gave this.

1747
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:33,240
Speaker 3: I'll say this, they thanks for the call Scott the

1748
01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:36,200
Speaker 3: drive when they got down there close and then couldn't

1749
01:31:36,200 --> 01:31:38,000
Speaker 3: get in and he kicked the and might have been

1750
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:39,400
Speaker 3: the missed field goal. I'm not sure.

1751
01:31:39,520 --> 01:31:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the drive.

1752
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:44,439
Speaker 3: At the end of the first they had a holding

1753
01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:47,000
Speaker 3: penalty and then they had a false start penalty in succession.

1754
01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:50,200
Speaker 2: Yes, but they were trying to run the clock down

1755
01:31:51,120 --> 01:31:53,280
Speaker 2: so that the Lions wouldn't get the ball back. At

1756
01:31:53,280 --> 01:31:55,200
Speaker 2: the end of the half, there were three minutes left.

1757
01:31:55,200 --> 01:31:57,920
Speaker 2: They get down to the goal line prematurely off the

1758
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:00,880
Speaker 2: keyon Coleman play and so now they're down there faster

1759
01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:02,400
Speaker 2: than they thought they would be, so they try to

1760
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:05,200
Speaker 2: run some clock. They run a couple of plays and

1761
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:07,040
Speaker 2: then they got a little too cute. They run the

1762
01:32:07,040 --> 01:32:09,479
Speaker 2: Curtis Samuel play out to the right flat, he gets

1763
01:32:09,479 --> 01:32:11,799
Speaker 2: a yard, goes out of bounds and stops the clock,

1764
01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:13,320
Speaker 2: which is not what they want.

1765
01:32:13,439 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 3: Actually, he didn't get out of bounds. They stopped the

1766
01:32:15,439 --> 01:32:19,640
Speaker 3: clock because they took Detroit took a timeout because I

1767
01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:22,400
Speaker 3: remember thinking that as well, and they because he landed

1768
01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:25,240
Speaker 3: with his shoulder in bounds. And I was surprised they

1769
01:32:25,240 --> 01:32:27,800
Speaker 3: stopped the clock, but they said, at least on the broadcast,

1770
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:30,360
Speaker 3: the TV broadcast, I thought they had taken a time out. Okay,

1771
01:32:30,600 --> 01:32:32,920
Speaker 3: maybe not though, but yeah, look but yeah, but you're right,

1772
01:32:33,160 --> 01:32:35,400
Speaker 3: they did the Curtis Samuel thing. They couldn't get closed

1773
01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:39,200
Speaker 3: and they were and it was all over my text

1774
01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:41,200
Speaker 3: all the text loops that I'm on during the day

1775
01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:42,840
Speaker 3: for these games. It's like, oh, they're gonna now, they're

1776
01:32:42,840 --> 01:32:45,679
Speaker 3: gonna score too quick right where everybody's like, we're gonna

1777
01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:47,519
Speaker 3: double dip. It's gonna be awesome. This is exactly the

1778
01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:49,360
Speaker 3: way we planned it when we deferred and all daddy,

1779
01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:52,000
Speaker 3: oata YadA. Then Goldman catches a sixty one.

1780
01:32:51,920 --> 01:32:53,600
Speaker 2: Yard and it's like that, and then it's third and

1781
01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:55,559
Speaker 2: goal at the one, one fifty three left, and the

1782
01:32:55,560 --> 01:32:59,040
Speaker 2: Bills are in shotgun there when it's probably you know,

1783
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:01,720
Speaker 2: use the play you used last week at the end

1784
01:33:01,720 --> 01:33:03,200
Speaker 2: of the game. You felt good enough about it at

1785
01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:05,120
Speaker 2: the end of the game last week, is it at

1786
01:33:05,120 --> 01:33:07,040
Speaker 2: the end of the half? Here he goes in shotgun

1787
01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:09,360
Speaker 2: Dawkins with a false start. Now you're backed up to

1788
01:33:09,400 --> 01:33:12,400
Speaker 2: the six yard line, passing complete to Hollins and you

1789
01:33:12,439 --> 01:33:14,000
Speaker 2: got to kick the field goal and then you missed.

1790
01:33:13,960 --> 01:33:16,679
Speaker 3: And you missed, missed the shore, come away with nothing. Yeah,

1791
01:33:16,720 --> 01:33:22,880
Speaker 3: and you could. Yeah, that was that was the low

1792
01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:25,880
Speaker 3: point of the game, right during the during the.

1793
01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:28,120
Speaker 2: Because he came away with nothing. Now, fortunately for you,

1794
01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:31,200
Speaker 2: the Lions go the other way. Bills get a stop,

1795
01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:35,240
Speaker 2: force a fifty yard field goal, and Jake Bates misses

1796
01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:38,479
Speaker 2: just a second. He get into the season in unbelievably

1797
01:33:38,520 --> 01:33:39,519
Speaker 2: inaccurate fashion.

1798
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:40,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1799
01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1800
01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:44,640
Speaker 3: And so the Bills come back and you think, and

1801
01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:47,080
Speaker 3: at one point you think sixty are they gonna line

1802
01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:49,320
Speaker 3: Bass up to kick a sixty five yard or which

1803
01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:52,760
Speaker 3: I would have been okay with indoors, except that do

1804
01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:54,560
Speaker 3: you do you want to go in late into a

1805
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:56,559
Speaker 3: game where you think he might need him to hit

1806
01:33:56,600 --> 01:33:58,760
Speaker 3: a good one late, which he did. By the way,

1807
01:34:00,439 --> 01:34:03,760
Speaker 3: do you with two misses even though one was from

1808
01:34:03,800 --> 01:34:09,200
Speaker 3: sixty five? Yeah, they couldn't. Then they couldn't make it happen,

1809
01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:09,479
Speaker 3: you know.

1810
01:34:09,560 --> 01:34:11,720
Speaker 2: So I'm which is crazy to think they should have

1811
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:13,120
Speaker 2: hung a fifty burger on this team.

1812
01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:15,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, they should have.

1813
01:34:15,840 --> 01:34:19,160
Speaker 2: I mean, number two defense in points allowed, eighteen points

1814
01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:22,640
Speaker 2: a game, number one third down defense in football. They

1815
01:34:22,640 --> 01:34:24,920
Speaker 2: went five of ten on third down against them, fifty

1816
01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:27,280
Speaker 2: percent conversion when they were giving up thirty one percent

1817
01:34:27,320 --> 01:34:30,840
Speaker 2: conversion coming into the game. Yep, this offense is they are.

1818
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:33,679
Speaker 3: It is a wagon. It is an absolute wagon.

1819
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:36,200
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here because when we

1820

01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:52,559
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills. So after a one week hiatus for

1831
01:35:52,600 --> 01:35:55,120
Speaker 2: the Matties, they have returned in full force.

1832
01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:58,320
Speaker 18: And returned with forty eight points on the scoreboard, the

1833
01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:01,719
Speaker 18: highest point total for the Buffer Little Bills yet this season.

1834
01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:03,840
Speaker 18: But who knows, maybe we got a fifty burger in

1835
01:36:03,880 --> 01:36:06,120
Speaker 18: store for us in the finals one yesterday.

1836
01:36:06,760 --> 01:36:09,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, should have had one, yes one yesterday.

1837
01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:11,240
Speaker 2: The first half there should have been points on the board.

1838
01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:15,439
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's no, not at all. But that's and

1839
01:36:15,479 --> 01:36:18,000
Speaker 3: that it's funny in those games like that where you think,

1840
01:36:18,320 --> 01:36:21,080
Speaker 3: you know, it could have been even better, right, Uh,

1841
01:36:21,240 --> 01:36:23,000
Speaker 3: there's so many things that happened in a football game.

1842
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:26,320
Speaker 3: We're talking just now. The the play that really kept

1843
01:36:26,320 --> 01:36:28,479
Speaker 3: the lines in it was the long touchdown pass because

1844
01:36:28,479 --> 01:36:32,559
Speaker 3: they scored quickly and it proved they could and you know,

1845
01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:34,240
Speaker 3: then it turned it back on the Bills. They had

1846
01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:36,680
Speaker 3: to do some different things offensively, had to kind of

1847
01:36:36,720 --> 01:36:38,439
Speaker 3: keep their foot on the gas late in that game.

1848
01:36:38,840 --> 01:36:41,120
Speaker 3: So it was there was a lot going on in that.

1849
01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:46,760
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean this offense, it is rare that

1850
01:36:46,800 --> 01:36:49,400
Speaker 3: you get a team saying, listen, we got to get

1851
01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:53,599
Speaker 3: the ball back. We're gonna We're gonna on side left

1852
01:36:53,640 --> 01:36:55,479
Speaker 3: with twelve minutes left, and we're gonna tell we gotta

1853
01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:56,640
Speaker 3: you know, we got to tell you to do it.

1854
01:36:56,640 --> 01:36:59,240
Speaker 3: We don't care. We got to do it. That's that's big.

1855
01:36:59,560 --> 01:37:00,000
Speaker 3: That's big.

1856
01:37:00,479 --> 01:37:03,599
Speaker 2: And speaking of that, the first award is the MVP Award,

1857
01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:05,320
Speaker 2: and one of the main reasons why teams are on

1858
01:37:05,360 --> 01:37:06,439
Speaker 2: side kicking with twelve.

1859
01:37:06,240 --> 01:37:09,880
Speaker 18: Minutes left is because they have Josh Allen as their quarterback.

1860
01:37:10,120 --> 01:37:13,040
Speaker 18: I'm going to continue to label him as the MVP

1861
01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:18,160
Speaker 18: after every impressive performance because he deserves it. He's the

1862
01:37:18,280 --> 01:37:21,120
Speaker 18: favorite with the amount of games that he's put on

1863
01:37:21,160 --> 01:37:25,400
Speaker 18: display this season showcasing why he deserves that award. Last night,

1864
01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:27,640
Speaker 18: it was four total touchdowns, a one to twenty two

1865
01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:31,120
Speaker 18: passer rating, three hundred sixty two passing yards. He had

1866
01:37:31,200 --> 01:37:34,080
Speaker 18: multiple plays that few quarterbacks can make. It was the

1867
01:37:34,240 --> 01:37:38,120
Speaker 18: chess pass, it was the multiple runs for first downs.

1868
01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:40,879
Speaker 18: It was the sixty four yard pass over to Keon Coleman.

1869
01:37:41,360 --> 01:37:46,400
Speaker 18: Josh Allen now has fourteen total touchdowns, no interceptions, and

1870
01:37:46,479 --> 01:37:49,839
Speaker 18: no sacks in the last three games. There were people

1871
01:37:49,960 --> 01:37:52,960
Speaker 18: on National Television this morning, saying that they were a

1872
01:37:52,960 --> 01:37:57,160
Speaker 18: little surprised by Allen's performance this year. I am not

1873
01:37:57,360 --> 01:38:01,280
Speaker 18: surprised at all by her quarterback, because he's made strides

1874
01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:05,440
Speaker 18: every single year to improve. It was the completion percentage

1875
01:38:05,479 --> 01:38:07,599
Speaker 18: early on in his career. Then it was starting to

1876
01:38:07,720 --> 01:38:11,679
Speaker 18: understand NFL defenses. Then it was not playing hero ball

1877
01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:14,720
Speaker 18: as much. This year, it's been about cutting down on

1878
01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:18,240
Speaker 18: the interceptions and only turning into a hero when he

1879
01:38:18,320 --> 01:38:22,120
Speaker 18: needs to, and also finding new chemistry with new players

1880
01:38:22,160 --> 01:38:22,679
Speaker 18: on his team.

1881
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:25,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it was the impressive thing to me,

1882
01:38:25,439 --> 01:38:27,400
Speaker 3: and we talked about it, you know last night in

1883
01:38:27,439 --> 01:38:30,080
Speaker 3: the postgame live matter about nine guys catching a pass,

1884
01:38:31,600 --> 01:38:34,040
Speaker 3: you know, Ray Davis catching this pass going in, Ty

1885
01:38:34,160 --> 01:38:37,360
Speaker 3: Johnson making the plays that he made, Mac Hollins making

1886
01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:42,360
Speaker 3: the plays that he made. I mean, go down the list, Knox, Kincaid, Cook,

1887
01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:46,280
Speaker 3: all three running backs, you know, and of course the

1888
01:38:46,360 --> 01:38:49,479
Speaker 3: leading receiver was Shakir with six catches or something like that.

1889
01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:54,400
Speaker 3: It was, you know, that kind of play. His ability

1890
01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:57,880
Speaker 3: to spread it around and have all these guys contribute

1891
01:38:57,920 --> 01:39:00,920
Speaker 3: when they're needed. I mean, certainly a lot of times

1892
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:02,880
Speaker 3: when you forget about a guy and you go back

1893
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:05,800
Speaker 3: to him, he's like not ready because he's you know,

1894
01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:10,160
Speaker 3: he's like night, he's down or whatever. When these guys

1895
01:39:10,160 --> 01:39:12,640
Speaker 3: are called on, every single guy has stepped up to

1896
01:39:12,680 --> 01:39:15,120
Speaker 3: the plate and been ready, even if it's been a

1897
01:39:15,200 --> 01:39:18,000
Speaker 3: little bit of a draft. Amari Cooper got I know,

1898
01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:19,360
Speaker 3: zero targets.

1899
01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:21,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that brings us to our next award, the

1900
01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:23,759
Speaker 2: playmaker Award. He's one of those guys.

1901
01:39:23,840 --> 01:39:26,320
Speaker 18: The playmaker. It's going to a running back Tye Johnson

1902
01:39:26,439 --> 01:39:30,599
Speaker 18: because he was a playmaker against the Lions. He finished

1903
01:39:30,680 --> 01:39:34,200
Speaker 18: as the leading receiver one hundred and fourteen yards. Josh

1904
01:39:34,240 --> 01:39:37,200
Speaker 18: Allen called him a playmaker and not a running back,

1905
01:39:37,240 --> 01:39:40,559
Speaker 18: because that is what he is. Johnson added a spark

1906
01:39:40,640 --> 01:39:43,680
Speaker 18: to the offense in last night's game. He has a

1907
01:39:43,800 --> 01:39:46,960
Speaker 18: rock star vibe. It's the long hair, it's the tattoos,

1908
01:39:47,040 --> 01:39:50,320
Speaker 18: the piercings. Well, he played like a rock star against

1909
01:39:50,320 --> 01:39:53,120
Speaker 18: the Lions. He adds pop to this offense. He's got

1910
01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:56,320
Speaker 18: some bursts, some power and is a quick guy on

1911
01:39:56,360 --> 01:39:59,559
Speaker 18: the ground and when he catches passes. He was drafted

1912
01:39:59,560 --> 01:40:01,479
Speaker 18: by the Right in the sixth round of the twenty

1913
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:04,840
Speaker 18: nineteen draft, and I loved that the Bills showcased him

1914
01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:06,000
Speaker 18: on offense last night.

1915
01:40:06,960 --> 01:40:10,600
Speaker 2: He had a performance and you got a credit. You

1916
01:40:10,640 --> 01:40:12,240
Speaker 2: know the play calling here, and I know we'll get

1917
01:40:12,240 --> 01:40:13,960
Speaker 2: to that in a little bit. But they had a

1918
01:40:13,960 --> 01:40:17,200
Speaker 2: good game plan to go against that Lions based defense

1919
01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:20,280
Speaker 2: and it worked to perfection. All right, glue guy is

1920
01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:21,360
Speaker 2: the next award.

1921
01:40:21,040 --> 01:40:24,160
Speaker 18: The glue Guy. It's our head coach, Sean McDermott. You

1922
01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:27,800
Speaker 18: can't do it without coach McDermott. This was a team

1923
01:40:27,840 --> 01:40:31,840
Speaker 18: who last week had Thursday's practice canceled due to thirty

1924
01:40:31,920 --> 01:40:35,480
Speaker 18: eight inches of snow. They just had one real practice

1925
01:40:35,520 --> 01:40:38,880
Speaker 18: in preparation for going up against the best offense in

1926
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:41,720
Speaker 18: the NFL. He got the team ready, even if it

1927
01:40:41,800 --> 01:40:44,320
Speaker 18: was only one practice, even if they had to do

1928
01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:49,080
Speaker 18: meetings over zoom on Thursday. Sean McDermott now has five

1929
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:52,640
Speaker 18: straight seasons of at least eleven wins. He's only the

1930
01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:55,840
Speaker 18: fifth coach to ever do so in NFL history. This

1931
01:40:55,920 --> 01:40:57,960
Speaker 18: is the guy that holds it together. This is the

1932
01:40:58,000 --> 01:41:00,680
Speaker 18: guy that gets the best out of the players on

1933
01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:01,160
Speaker 18: this team.

1934
01:41:01,560 --> 01:41:03,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were talking about, you know, the atmosphere that

1935
01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:05,880
Speaker 3: he's created here in Buffalo. It's become a little bit

1936
01:41:05,920 --> 01:41:09,559
Speaker 3: more well known this year with guys who and Brownie

1937
01:41:09,560 --> 01:41:12,360
Speaker 3: has harped on it since the beginning of his tenure here.

1938
01:41:12,720 --> 01:41:15,559
Speaker 3: They really seem to get the most out of their players.

1939
01:41:15,800 --> 01:41:18,280
Speaker 3: We saw it in his very first season as head

1940
01:41:18,320 --> 01:41:21,360
Speaker 3: coach when he took a drought roster, traded away some

1941
01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:24,400
Speaker 3: of the better players on that roster, and then went

1942
01:41:24,400 --> 01:41:28,960
Speaker 3: to the playoffs with what was left. Phenomenal job of coaching.

1943
01:41:29,040 --> 01:41:32,599
Speaker 3: And he continues to be that guy. Guys like mac Hollands,

1944
01:41:32,680 --> 01:41:35,719
Speaker 3: Ty Johnson, guys, they're getting the most out of where

1945
01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:40,040
Speaker 3: a lot of people they're just afrothist. Mac Hollins, you know,

1946
01:41:40,160 --> 01:41:42,479
Speaker 3: throwaway guy, guys who's been on four teams and looking

1947
01:41:42,520 --> 01:41:46,120
Speaker 3: for a spot, just seems to get the most out

1948
01:41:46,160 --> 01:41:49,559
Speaker 3: of every roster that he's been given and maximize it.

1949
01:41:49,640 --> 01:41:51,880
Speaker 3: And you know, to the tune of eleven wins for

1950
01:41:51,920 --> 01:41:53,639
Speaker 3: five straight years, it's rarefied air.

1951
01:41:53,840 --> 01:41:58,080
Speaker 2: Coming off a substandard performance defensively last week, people were concerned,

1952
01:41:58,080 --> 01:41:59,880
Speaker 2: how are they going to play against this Lions team.

1953
01:42:00,080 --> 01:42:02,160
Speaker 2: Nobody seems to beat ripping off eleven wins in a

1954
01:42:02,240 --> 01:42:06,880
Speaker 2: row and with one and a half practices, the guy gets,

1955
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:09,160
Speaker 2: you know, the best performance out of his defensive line

1956
01:42:09,200 --> 01:42:11,559
Speaker 2: all season long because he knows he and his staff

1957
01:42:11,600 --> 01:42:15,640
Speaker 2: know how to course correct their team all right under pressure.

1958
01:42:15,280 --> 01:42:19,680
Speaker 18: Award, Speaking of course correcting under pressure, defensive tackle at

1959
01:42:19,720 --> 01:42:24,080
Speaker 18: Oliver had Jared Goff under pressure all game. He finishes

1960
01:42:24,120 --> 01:42:27,559
Speaker 18: with ten quarterback pressures. And this was a defensive line

1961
01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:31,000
Speaker 18: who came off of a lackluster performance against the Rams.

1962
01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:34,280
Speaker 18: They were charged with saying, you know, you guys need

1963
01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:36,880
Speaker 18: to have more urgency. That's what we heard from the

1964
01:42:36,920 --> 01:42:40,120
Speaker 18: coaching staff all week. Well, they did have quite a

1965
01:42:40,120 --> 01:42:44,200
Speaker 18: bit of urgency against the Lions. Oliver was all over

1966
01:42:44,240 --> 01:42:47,599
Speaker 18: the place, forcing golf to make quick decisions and making

1967
01:42:48,320 --> 01:42:51,760
Speaker 18: making golf try to find different, different players to go

1968
01:42:51,800 --> 01:42:54,080
Speaker 18: to all over the field. It was great to see

1969
01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:56,439
Speaker 18: what the defensive line did. At Oliver even dropped in

1970
01:42:56,479 --> 01:42:57,639
Speaker 18: the coverage a couple times.

1971
01:42:58,280 --> 01:43:01,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question about it. The defensive front turned it

1972
01:43:01,120 --> 01:43:04,160
Speaker 3: up a notch against the Lions. And I think you

1973
01:43:04,200 --> 01:43:07,320
Speaker 3: know what happened to them the week before in La.

1974
01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:10,360
Speaker 3: I think they they felt like they didn't want to

1975
01:43:10,360 --> 01:43:10,960
Speaker 3: be that team.

1976
01:43:11,080 --> 01:43:12,040
Speaker 2: Their pride was wounded.

1977
01:43:12,200 --> 01:43:13,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they didn't want to be those you

1978
01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:16,280
Speaker 3: know that have those things said about him and ed

1979
01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:18,439
Speaker 3: is is that kind of player. He turned it up

1980
01:43:18,479 --> 01:43:21,400
Speaker 3: a notch is absolutely no doubt about it. Rousseau was

1981
01:43:21,479 --> 01:43:24,759
Speaker 3: very good in this game. Vaughn was good. I thought

1982
01:43:25,040 --> 01:43:29,200
Speaker 3: early on. Bob Babbage brought pressure off. When Christian Benford

1983
01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:33,280
Speaker 3: got his sack off the corner on a condensed formation

1984
01:43:33,560 --> 01:43:36,519
Speaker 3: was a brilliant play called. Gough did not expect it

1985
01:43:36,560 --> 01:43:38,800
Speaker 3: and it caught him and they got him for loss.

1986
01:43:38,800 --> 01:43:40,920
Speaker 3: So being able to go out there and get off

1987
01:43:40,920 --> 01:43:42,960
Speaker 3: to the start they did with Ty Johnson catching the

1988
01:43:42,960 --> 01:43:44,840
Speaker 3: balls that you mentioned and then the defense getting a

1989
01:43:44,840 --> 01:43:47,080
Speaker 3: three and out on the first drive of the game. Huge,

1990
01:43:47,160 --> 01:43:48,440
Speaker 3: huge day for the Bills.

1991
01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:51,240
Speaker 2: Defense, which brings us to the masterful award.

1992
01:43:51,479 --> 01:43:52,080
Speaker 3: Masterful.

1993
01:43:52,200 --> 01:43:56,160
Speaker 18: Our offensive coordinator Joe Brady was masterful in his game

1994
01:43:56,200 --> 01:44:00,400
Speaker 18: planning against the Lions. Forty eight total points as in

1995
01:44:00,520 --> 01:44:05,080
Speaker 18: high by this offense, and he deserves so much credit

1996
01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:07,599
Speaker 18: for this creative game plan. We've got a running back

1997
01:44:07,840 --> 01:44:10,840
Speaker 18: in Ty Johnson who finishes as the leading receiver, and

1998
01:44:10,880 --> 01:44:13,800
Speaker 18: a running back in James Cook who finishes as the

1999
01:44:13,920 --> 01:44:17,640
Speaker 18: leading rusher. They're the first running back duo to have

2000
01:44:17,760 --> 01:44:22,040
Speaker 18: over one hundred yards since twenty twelve. Nine different players

2001
01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:24,599
Speaker 18: caught a pass in this one, and the offense at

2002
01:44:24,600 --> 01:44:26,400
Speaker 18: this point in the season, they just seem like they're

2003
01:44:26,479 --> 01:44:29,479
Speaker 18: hitting their groove. They're comfortable with each other. I think

2004
01:44:29,520 --> 01:44:31,679
Speaker 18: a lot of that is because of our quarterback Josh

2005
01:44:31,760 --> 01:44:34,680
Speaker 18: Allen and our offensive coordinator Joe Brady dialing up the

2006
01:44:34,760 --> 01:44:37,559
Speaker 18: right things, having a good feel and understanding for here's

2007
01:44:37,600 --> 01:44:40,200
Speaker 18: what works and here's what our guys like. It's the

2008
01:44:40,240 --> 01:44:43,800
Speaker 18: first time since nineteen seventy that the Bills have had

2009
01:44:43,880 --> 01:44:48,160
Speaker 18: at least five touchdowns, no giveaways, no sacks, and three

2010
01:44:48,200 --> 01:44:51,479
Speaker 18: straight games, the first team to do it since nineteen seventy.

2011
01:44:51,920 --> 01:44:54,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean he just saw the matchup advantage

2012
01:44:54,680 --> 01:44:57,639
Speaker 2: with running backs on linebackers in safeties and tight ends

2013
01:44:57,680 --> 01:45:00,400
Speaker 2: on linebackers in safeties. And you look up at the

2014
01:45:00,479 --> 01:45:03,840
Speaker 2: end of the game, Ty Johnson five for one fourteen,

2015
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:07,320
Speaker 2: Samuel is one for or sorry, Cook is one for

2016
01:45:07,400 --> 01:45:09,960
Speaker 2: twenty eight, and then you have Ray Davis with two

2017
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:13,520
Speaker 2: catches including the five yard touchdown reception, and then Kinkaiden

2018
01:45:13,560 --> 01:45:16,800
Speaker 2: Knox combined for six for ninety five yards. I mean,

2019
01:45:17,160 --> 01:45:20,000
Speaker 2: that's where the mismatch was, and they exploited it, and

2020
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:25,639
Speaker 2: for some inexplicable reason, Aaron Glenn never changed for about

2021
01:45:25,680 --> 01:45:28,600
Speaker 2: three quarters. It was stunning to me that he said, no,

2022
01:45:28,720 --> 01:45:31,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep playing base defense here we go. I mean,

2023
01:45:31,240 --> 01:45:33,240
Speaker 2: they played a little nickel, but not a lot.

2024
01:45:33,640 --> 01:45:35,320
Speaker 3: I'll say, this is just one of the few games

2025
01:45:35,360 --> 01:45:37,760
Speaker 3: I've seen where the Bills looked like the team that

2026
01:45:37,880 --> 01:45:42,080
Speaker 3: had the perfect play design, the miss whatever misdirection, small

2027
01:45:42,320 --> 01:45:46,240
Speaker 3: short pass, misdirection, run play you know where you know,

2028
01:45:46,280 --> 01:45:49,080
Speaker 3: the sweep end around where uh where Cook would take

2029
01:45:49,080 --> 01:45:52,120
Speaker 3: the handoff three steps hard left and then pull back

2030
01:45:52,160 --> 01:45:54,599
Speaker 3: to the right around behind Dion Dokins.

2031
01:45:54,600 --> 01:45:55,519
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that counterplay.

2032
01:45:55,760 --> 01:45:59,479
Speaker 3: The counterplay was really sharp, just the misdirection, the ball handling,

2033
01:45:59,560 --> 01:46:02,840
Speaker 3: the shovel pass to Shakir, all those little nuanced plays

2034
01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:05,840
Speaker 3: that we don't see very often from this team. Man,

2035
01:46:05,880 --> 01:46:07,920
Speaker 3: what a timely game to pull them out, and they

2036
01:46:07,920 --> 01:46:12,200
Speaker 3: were executed perfectly, so it really they looked like a

2037
01:46:12,240 --> 01:46:16,759
Speaker 3: really smart offense in this game. Certainly Josh is gifted

2038
01:46:16,760 --> 01:46:20,000
Speaker 3: beyond belief, and they got guys coming through making catches

2039
01:46:20,040 --> 01:46:22,880
Speaker 3: and stuff. But man, oh man, there were a lot

2040
01:46:22,880 --> 01:46:25,559
Speaker 3: of times on play selections when they needed a first

2041
01:46:25,560 --> 01:46:27,719
Speaker 3: down or whatever where they just looked smarter than the

2042
01:46:27,760 --> 01:46:30,360
Speaker 3: Lions did. Their play selection was perfect for the defense called,

2043
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:33,080
Speaker 3: and you got to give Joe Brady credit for that.

2044
01:46:33,560 --> 01:46:35,479
Speaker 2: We move ahead to momentum shifter.

2045
01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:39,200
Speaker 18: There were two big plays on defense and on special

2046
01:46:39,240 --> 01:46:41,840
Speaker 18: teams as well, two total plays that really I think

2047
01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:46,479
Speaker 18: impacted this game, and we're momentum shifters. First, it's our

2048
01:46:46,520 --> 01:46:49,759
Speaker 18: cornerback Christian Benford, who forces a fumble in the third

2049
01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:52,639
Speaker 18: quarter of this game. The Bills had the twenty eight

2050
01:46:52,760 --> 01:46:55,280
Speaker 18: to fourteen lead at this point, but the offense had

2051
01:46:55,320 --> 01:46:58,799
Speaker 18: just punted, so the Detroit Lions are on the field

2052
01:46:58,880 --> 01:47:02,679
Speaker 18: moving the ball and Benford forces a fumble which Matt

2053
01:47:02,760 --> 01:47:05,640
Speaker 18: Mullana recovers. Takeaways I thought were going to be so

2054
01:47:05,920 --> 01:47:08,639
Speaker 18: important in this game because it was the best offense

2055
01:47:08,680 --> 01:47:11,400
Speaker 18: in the NFL going up against the second best offense

2056
01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:13,559
Speaker 18: in the NFL. I thought if a team could force

2057
01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:15,760
Speaker 18: a takeaway and take advantage of it, that might be

2058
01:47:15,800 --> 01:47:17,880
Speaker 18: a big part of this one. And it was because

2059
01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:20,800
Speaker 18: the Bills then score off of that takeaway, extending the

2060
01:47:20,880 --> 01:47:24,200
Speaker 18: lead thirty five to fourteen. And then it was the

2061
01:47:24,280 --> 01:47:27,000
Speaker 18: Lions trying for that on side kick. They were down

2062
01:47:27,080 --> 01:47:30,240
Speaker 18: six with just twelve seconds left to go and our

2063
01:47:30,320 --> 01:47:33,919
Speaker 18: nickel cornerback Tarren Johnson was able to grab the football.

2064
01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:36,120
Speaker 18: He was at the bottom of the pile for what

2065
01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:38,920
Speaker 18: seems like forever. We heard from him in the locker

2066
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:41,599
Speaker 18: room after the game and he said, I was being pushed,

2067
01:47:41,680 --> 01:47:44,519
Speaker 18: I was being pulled, I was being There are people

2068
01:47:44,600 --> 01:47:47,840
Speaker 18: poking me in areas that I shouldn't be poked in. Yeah,

2069
01:47:47,920 --> 01:47:50,439
Speaker 18: I cannot imagine what it feels like to be at

2070
01:47:50,479 --> 01:47:52,880
Speaker 18: the bottom of a pile for that long as you're

2071
01:47:52,960 --> 01:47:55,560
Speaker 18: grabbing bodies off as people are trying to tug the

2072
01:47:55,600 --> 01:48:00,160
Speaker 18: football away. Very impressive by Taron Johnson to grab that

2073
01:48:00,200 --> 01:48:03,120
Speaker 18: football and hold it for that long. Two big plays

2074
01:48:03,120 --> 01:48:05,720
Speaker 18: that really impacted the game when the defense was down

2075
01:48:05,800 --> 01:48:06,519
Speaker 18: three starters.

2076
01:48:06,560 --> 01:48:08,280
Speaker 2: And as you can see on that replay there and

2077
01:48:08,320 --> 01:48:11,519
Speaker 2: I gave credit to Terrel Bernard on this yesterday on

2078
01:48:11,560 --> 01:48:15,360
Speaker 2: the broadcast. The ball comes loose from Terran. It's coming loose,

2079
01:48:15,400 --> 01:48:18,559
Speaker 2: it's coming out, and Terrel Bernard pushes it back into

2080
01:48:18,600 --> 01:48:21,880
Speaker 2: Taron Johnson's stomach so he can secure the ball at

2081
01:48:21,920 --> 01:48:24,120
Speaker 2: the bottom of the pile. It was really a heads up.

2082
01:48:24,080 --> 01:48:28,280
Speaker 3: Plus said it a lot. Yah Satan himself lives at

2083
01:48:28,280 --> 01:48:29,040
Speaker 3: the bottom.

2084
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:32,160
Speaker 2: Of an oh you're getting violated multiple times.

2085
01:48:32,200 --> 01:48:37,360
Speaker 3: Now it's it's hell on Earth under there. And kudos

2086
01:48:37,360 --> 01:48:39,240
Speaker 3: to Taran for being able to get out of there.

2087
01:48:39,240 --> 01:48:41,800
Speaker 3: I and I'll say this too when I'm when you're

2088
01:48:41,840 --> 01:48:45,759
Speaker 3: on top and I've been there his team Terrence teammates

2089
01:48:45,800 --> 01:48:48,559
Speaker 3: need you need to peel the other guys off because

2090
01:48:48,600 --> 01:48:51,000
Speaker 3: the ball could change hands three times down there. You

2091
01:48:51,040 --> 01:48:52,720
Speaker 3: got to get the You got to start pulling those

2092
01:48:52,720 --> 01:48:54,840
Speaker 3: guys off. And what happens is you see it a lot.

2093
01:48:55,040 --> 01:48:58,599
Speaker 3: You start pulling guys off that pile, and then they

2094
01:48:58,720 --> 01:49:01,439
Speaker 3: get frustrated and they start or you know, get it

2095
01:49:01,560 --> 01:49:04,920
Speaker 3: gets chippy. But you gotta do it. You gotta get

2096
01:49:04,960 --> 01:49:06,000
Speaker 3: your guy the ball down.

2097
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:08,000
Speaker 2: And that pile existed for way too long.

2098
01:49:08,080 --> 01:49:10,240
Speaker 3: It was yeah, and the officials, I mean everybody was

2099
01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:14,599
Speaker 3: standing around looking at it. You can't let that happen

2100
01:49:14,640 --> 01:49:16,439
Speaker 3: as a teammate of the guy you thinks got the ball,

2101
01:49:16,479 --> 01:49:18,960
Speaker 3: and you got to peel those guys off and you know,

2102
01:49:19,720 --> 01:49:21,559
Speaker 3: face the consequences, all right.

2103
01:49:21,600 --> 01:49:24,000
Speaker 2: So we finished with the Best Moment award.

2104
01:49:24,240 --> 01:49:27,439
Speaker 18: The best moment was in the locker room after the game.

2105
01:49:27,479 --> 01:49:31,320
Speaker 18: Sean McDermott is giving his postgame victory speech. And he's,

2106
01:49:31,560 --> 01:49:34,559
Speaker 18: you know, congratulating the players on Hey, you guys did

2107
01:49:34,600 --> 01:49:37,840
Speaker 18: this with one real practice. I'm so I'm so proud

2108
01:49:37,880 --> 01:49:40,960
Speaker 18: of you. And the team goes wild and they start

2109
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:44,439
Speaker 18: to realize, hey, we just put up forty eight points,

2110
01:49:44,439 --> 01:49:48,439
Speaker 18: a season high with one practice. Maybe we're onto something here.

2111
01:49:48,560 --> 01:49:51,439
Speaker 18: Maybe we just need to have one practice a week

2112
01:49:51,760 --> 01:49:54,280
Speaker 18: through the rest of the regular season. We found the

2113
01:49:54,320 --> 01:49:58,080
Speaker 18: winning formula. McDermott then follows it up with saying, hey,

2114
01:49:58,280 --> 01:50:00,320
Speaker 18: we might have two A days this week, and then

2115
01:50:00,320 --> 01:50:01,000
Speaker 18: the team goes.

2116
01:50:00,880 --> 01:50:02,040
Speaker 3: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

2117
01:50:02,120 --> 01:50:05,360
Speaker 18: What are you talking about, sir? I thought that was hilarious. Uh,

2118
01:50:05,960 --> 01:50:08,880
Speaker 18: just some funny moments from this team throughout the season,

2119
01:50:08,880 --> 01:50:09,760
Speaker 18: and that was one of them.

2120
01:50:09,920 --> 01:50:13,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the same locker room where two years

2121
01:50:13,080 --> 01:50:16,080
Speaker 2: ago on Thanksgiving, you know, they win that game by

2122
01:50:16,080 --> 01:50:18,000
Speaker 2: the skin of their teeth twenty eight, twenty five, and

2123
01:50:18,040 --> 01:50:20,439
Speaker 2: that's where coach gave a big fist pump like he

2124
01:50:20,560 --> 01:50:22,720
Speaker 2: was like to himself, like big fist pump kind of thing.

2125
01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:24,920
Speaker 2: You know, how about them bills and kind of thing.

2126
01:50:24,960 --> 01:50:26,800
Speaker 2: It was really fired up. Locker room was a much

2127
01:50:26,800 --> 01:50:31,040
Speaker 2: different demeanor. But you know, another victory fortunately for them.

2128
01:50:31,840 --> 01:50:34,800
Speaker 2: I don't know, it was. It was funny, There's no

2129
01:50:34,800 --> 01:50:37,040
Speaker 2: doubt about it. It was definitely funny. Like you got to

2130
01:50:37,040 --> 01:50:39,040
Speaker 2: give the players credit for trying to lobby for it.

2131
01:50:39,120 --> 01:50:41,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, you flat out never happened. But that's the thing too.

2132
01:50:41,360 --> 01:50:44,000
Speaker 3: Sean mcdermom sat down his postgame presser and said, you know,

2133
01:50:44,080 --> 01:50:46,240
Speaker 3: one practice, I guess we might have to have double

2134
01:50:46,280 --> 01:50:48,120
Speaker 3: it up this week to make up for it. But yeah,

2135
01:50:48,200 --> 01:50:53,640
Speaker 3: he players, Yeah, I would have been the exact same way. Well,

2136
01:50:53,720 --> 01:50:54,439
Speaker 3: let's do that every week.

2137
01:50:54,479 --> 01:50:57,599
Speaker 2: Hey, it works, you know, brilliant, brilliant roach And then

2138
01:50:57,680 --> 01:50:59,479
Speaker 2: on put the cherry on top. It was a score

2139
01:50:59,479 --> 01:51:02,960
Speaker 2: of gami yesterday. Yes, forty eight forty two, a unique

2140
01:51:02,960 --> 01:51:06,600
Speaker 2: score I think the one thousand, ninetieth unique score in

2141
01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:09,280
Speaker 2: NFL history. There has never been a forty eight to

2142
01:51:09,320 --> 01:51:12,600
Speaker 2: forty two final in an NFL game, So that was

2143
01:51:12,640 --> 01:51:14,639
Speaker 2: kind of cool. It was a little little bonus there.

2144
01:51:15,080 --> 01:51:16,679
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe I think too much. A scorer

2145
01:51:16,760 --> 01:51:18,760
Speaker 2: got me, but it's kind of cool. That's cool, you

2146
01:51:18,800 --> 01:51:19,560
Speaker 2: get it.

2147
01:51:19,560 --> 01:51:20,680
Speaker 18: We're football weirdos.

2148
01:51:20,800 --> 01:51:24,320
Speaker 2: Well here, right, that's good. That's very true. Maddie. Thanks

2165
01:52:19,120 --> 01:52:21,360
Speaker 19: Good afternoon, gentlemen, thanks for taking my call. What a

2166
01:52:21,400 --> 01:52:23,439
Speaker 19: fun fun game to watch, What a fun day to

2167
01:52:23,479 --> 01:52:26,680
Speaker 19: be a Bills fan. You see, you know everybody had

2168
01:52:26,680 --> 01:52:29,519
Speaker 19: their copes ready after they spent the week. You know

2169
01:52:29,640 --> 01:52:31,400
Speaker 19: this this week, just you know, the Bills are going

2170
01:52:31,439 --> 01:52:32,920
Speaker 19: to go in there and get boat raced after what

2171
01:52:33,000 --> 01:52:36,160
Speaker 19: happened in LA and spend all off season talking about

2172
01:52:36,240 --> 01:52:40,680
Speaker 19: Josh Allen's regression without certain players, and before the kid

2173
01:52:40,680 --> 01:52:43,560
Speaker 19: ever took a snack, he was a parody of a quarterback.

2174
01:52:43,960 --> 01:52:45,880
Speaker 19: He made a lot of people look stupid, and they

2175
01:52:45,960 --> 01:52:49,479
Speaker 19: always they always revealed themselves who they are. They always

2176
01:52:49,479 --> 01:52:51,840
Speaker 19: rear their ugly heads. And it's just funny to me

2177
01:52:52,280 --> 01:52:56,320
Speaker 19: watching them just so be so bitter at him making

2178
01:52:56,320 --> 01:52:59,240
Speaker 19: them look dumb, him making them look foolish, and he

2179
01:52:59,280 --> 01:53:01,160
Speaker 19: continues to do it. You just see a ton of

2180
01:53:01,320 --> 01:53:03,639
Speaker 19: you see former players who do it this. They're really

2181
01:53:03,680 --> 01:53:07,720
Speaker 19: really bitter. But he's a bill and he is amazing

2182
01:53:07,760 --> 01:53:11,080
Speaker 19: to watch. Wow, one of one, a true one of one.

2183
01:53:11,680 --> 01:53:15,960
Speaker 19: He's so fun. We watch such I don't want to

2184
01:53:15,960 --> 01:53:18,719
Speaker 19: say it was bad football, but it was pretty pretty

2185
01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:22,160
Speaker 19: mediocre football for a long time. And watching this guy

2186
01:53:22,280 --> 01:53:27,040
Speaker 19: every Sunday is such a pleasure. And I saw you

2187
01:53:27,040 --> 01:53:29,360
Speaker 19: have a go with the guy a little bit today CB,

2188
01:53:29,479 --> 01:53:31,360
Speaker 19: a little bit of a back and forth. And now

2189
01:53:31,400 --> 01:53:34,519
Speaker 19: you read back through his timeline you see where his

2190
01:53:34,520 --> 01:53:37,960
Speaker 19: his narrative is coming from. But I saw you get

2191
01:53:37,960 --> 01:53:39,960
Speaker 19: a little fired up. But you guys have a great show.

2192
01:53:40,080 --> 01:53:42,439
Speaker 19: Love listening to you. You know you're my You're my Matt,

2193
01:53:42,520 --> 01:53:45,360
Speaker 19: You're my you're my through work listen, So thanks taking

2194
01:53:45,400 --> 01:53:45,960
Speaker 19: my call, guys.

2195
01:53:46,760 --> 01:53:47,320
Speaker 3: Thanks Mark.

2196
01:53:47,680 --> 01:53:49,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just I got a little hot and bothered

2197
01:53:49,920 --> 01:53:53,280
Speaker 2: with some people on Twitter that after Lamar Jackson throws

2198
01:53:53,360 --> 01:53:56,519
Speaker 2: five touchdown passes against a backup secondary for the two

2199
01:53:56,600 --> 01:54:01,840
Speaker 2: and eleven Giants, everybody's back in to Lamar for MVP again.

2200
01:54:02,360 --> 01:54:04,400
Speaker 2: And look, he's had a great season. He's got thirty

2201
01:54:04,400 --> 01:54:08,840
Speaker 2: four touchdown passes, three picks, he's rushed for three more touchdowns,

2202
01:54:09,120 --> 01:54:12,040
Speaker 2: he's got a high percentage completion rate, he's one of

2203
01:54:12,040 --> 01:54:15,000
Speaker 2: the highest rated passers in the league. But his team

2204
01:54:15,080 --> 01:54:16,840
Speaker 2: isn't doing nearly as well as the one that went

2205
01:54:17,520 --> 01:54:20,000
Speaker 2: thirteen and four last year and had the number one

2206
01:54:20,040 --> 01:54:24,880
Speaker 2: seed in the AFC playoffs. And Josh had superior stats

2207
01:54:24,880 --> 01:54:27,360
Speaker 2: to him last year, and they gave Lamar the MVP

2208
01:54:27,479 --> 01:54:29,040
Speaker 2: of because of the way he led his team to

2209
01:54:29,080 --> 01:54:32,800
Speaker 2: the top seed in the conference. And now this year,

2210
01:54:32,920 --> 01:54:36,200
Speaker 2: Lamar has the better stats, not by much, but has

2211
01:54:36,400 --> 01:54:40,320
Speaker 2: some slightly better statistics than Josh, who remains a touchdown

2212
01:54:40,360 --> 01:54:43,760
Speaker 2: factory and is flirting with challenging for the number one

2213
01:54:43,800 --> 01:54:47,160
Speaker 2: seed in the AFC. And you want to keep changing

2214
01:54:47,200 --> 01:54:49,880
Speaker 2: the criteria every year, so Lamar can keep getting the award.

2215
01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:52,400
Speaker 2: I don't understand that. It doesn't make sense to me.

2216
01:54:52,520 --> 01:54:55,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, Lamar is a great player and he's a

2217
01:54:55,160 --> 01:55:03,480
Speaker 3: unique player, but I yeah, I and his proponents will

2218
01:55:03,480 --> 01:55:07,440
Speaker 3: say yeah, and the Ravens beat the Bills this year,

2219
01:55:07,480 --> 01:55:11,320
Speaker 3: and I get that too, But I'm with Brownie. Josh

2220
01:55:11,400 --> 01:55:14,160
Speaker 3: has always scored a ton of touchdowns. Even last year

2221
01:55:14,560 --> 01:55:18,960
Speaker 3: when he didn't get the MVP and Lamar did, he

2222
01:55:19,040 --> 01:55:23,640
Speaker 3: scored more touchdowns than Lamar did by a wide margin.

2223
01:55:25,240 --> 01:55:27,280
Speaker 3: And my favorite stat to go to and I get

2224
01:55:27,280 --> 01:55:29,720
Speaker 3: the MVP. I'll say it again. The MVP is a

2225
01:55:29,760 --> 01:55:32,480
Speaker 3: regular season award. I get that. But last year, at

2226
01:55:32,480 --> 01:55:34,480
Speaker 3: the end of everything, when the Super Bowl was over,

2227
01:55:34,840 --> 01:55:38,280
Speaker 3: Josh Allen had more touchdowns and the exact same number

2228
01:55:38,280 --> 01:55:43,120
Speaker 3: of interceptions as the MVP and the Comeback Player of

2229
01:55:43,160 --> 01:55:48,200
Speaker 3: the Year combined. So and then people and some people

2230
01:55:48,200 --> 01:55:52,320
Speaker 3: were calling people crazy for even given Josh Allen consideration

2231
01:55:52,840 --> 01:55:56,960
Speaker 3: for the MVP, let alone voting for him. So miss

2232
01:55:57,040 --> 01:55:59,840
Speaker 3: me with all of that stuff, Josh is the MVP

2233
01:56:00,960 --> 01:56:06,680
Speaker 3: and it is emphatically, that is emphatically my opinion this year.

2234
01:56:07,280 --> 01:56:12,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean, look, he's rocketed to the top

2235
01:56:12,280 --> 01:56:16,320
Speaker 2: of the odds with all the sportsbooks in terms of

2236
01:56:16,360 --> 01:56:19,320
Speaker 2: who is the favorite to win the MVP. With the

2237
01:56:19,360 --> 01:56:23,120
Speaker 2: performances he has had on nationally televised games to the

2238
01:56:23,160 --> 01:56:26,600
Speaker 2: majority of the country in the four o'clock window and

2239
01:56:26,760 --> 01:56:30,080
Speaker 2: during prime time, he has done something spectacular in each

2240
01:56:30,120 --> 01:56:33,480
Speaker 2: and every one of those games. So I don't know

2241
01:56:33,480 --> 01:56:38,320
Speaker 2: what else you need for a resume to stamp this

2242
01:56:38,400 --> 01:56:41,440
Speaker 2: guy the most valuable player in the league. I don't

2243
01:56:41,440 --> 01:56:46,960
Speaker 2: know if it's ever been more obvious, and yet people

2244
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:50,920
Speaker 2: are still saying, ah, Lamar should get it. And look,

2245
01:56:51,120 --> 01:56:54,320
Speaker 2: Lamar is great. Don't get me wrong. He's a great player. Yeah,

2246
01:56:54,320 --> 01:57:00,680
Speaker 2: and he's got some great statistics. But the Bills played

2247
01:57:00,920 --> 01:57:05,160
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, the forty nine Ers, the Rams, and the

2248
01:57:05,240 --> 01:57:10,880
Speaker 2: Lions all in succession, the two conference leaders, the two

2249
01:57:10,920 --> 01:57:14,080
Speaker 2: participants in the Super Bowl last year, and a team

2250
01:57:14,120 --> 01:57:16,879
Speaker 2: that's probably the favorite now to win the NFC West.

2251
01:57:17,520 --> 01:57:20,600
Speaker 2: They went three to one. The team averaged almost thirty

2252
01:57:20,640 --> 01:57:23,680
Speaker 2: eight points a game, and the guy at quarterback accounted

2253
01:57:23,720 --> 01:57:29,600
Speaker 2: for fourteen total touchdowns. Like, come on, people, get with it,

2254
01:57:30,080 --> 01:57:33,280
Speaker 2: Like really, it's stunning to me. It's stunning me.

2255
01:57:33,640 --> 01:57:37,160
Speaker 3: I mean this is yeah, did you see what they did.

2256
01:57:37,160 --> 01:57:39,040
Speaker 3: You read this tam Aulsin thing just now.

2257
01:57:39,320 --> 01:57:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's just another guy. Yeah, pff guy, he says.

2258
01:57:43,120 --> 01:57:45,640
Speaker 2: I don't think Josh Allen did anything to separate himself

2259
01:57:45,640 --> 01:57:49,600
Speaker 2: from Lamar Jackson, his MVP yesterday, despite playing incredibly well

2260
01:57:49,720 --> 01:57:53,320
Speaker 2: four touchdowns, four hundred yards of offense against the number

2261
01:57:53,360 --> 01:57:58,120
Speaker 2: two scoring defense in football in their house in Detroit

2262
01:57:58,520 --> 01:58:02,360
Speaker 2: on an eleven game win streak, and Lamar Jackson throws

2263
01:58:02,440 --> 01:58:06,400
Speaker 2: five touchdowns against a backup secondary for the two and

2264
01:58:06,440 --> 01:58:09,560
Speaker 2: eleven Giants, and he didn't do anything to separate himself.

2265
01:58:09,960 --> 01:58:12,720
Speaker 2: Please go away.

2266
01:58:14,120 --> 01:58:17,440
Speaker 3: What did Lamar do to gain? What did Lamar do

2267
01:58:17,520 --> 01:58:18,839
Speaker 3: to gain something? Nothing?

2268
01:58:19,760 --> 01:58:24,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm my mom could complete sixty percent of her

2269
01:58:24,400 --> 01:58:29,640
Speaker 2: passes against the Giants backup secondary, honest, to get it.

2270
01:58:29,640 --> 01:58:33,440
Speaker 2: It's just so exhausting. Just you can't see the forest

2271
01:58:33,440 --> 01:58:35,760
Speaker 2: for the trees. Let's go back to the phones and

2272
01:58:35,800 --> 01:58:38,080
Speaker 2: to Dave in Rochester. I need some relief. Dave, help

2273
01:58:38,160 --> 01:58:38,480
Speaker 2: us out.

2274
01:58:39,600 --> 01:58:43,080
Speaker 4: Well, I'm going to talk about something completely different. Perfect

2275
01:58:43,200 --> 01:58:46,880
Speaker 4: that is, and thanks for taking my call. But that

2276
01:58:47,040 --> 01:58:53,680
Speaker 4: is the sorcery that Babbage, McDermott and the defensive staff

2277
01:58:53,760 --> 01:58:58,280
Speaker 4: did by using non traditional defensive linen in alignments to

2278
01:58:58,400 --> 01:59:01,920
Speaker 4: create one on ones between at Oliver and Frank Ragno.

2279
01:59:02,760 --> 01:59:05,280
Speaker 4: And when those royal ones happened, how at Oliver just

2280
01:59:05,480 --> 01:59:06,560
Speaker 4: owned Frank Ragno.

2281
01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:11,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you look at the pancake he had

2282
01:59:11,160 --> 01:59:14,040
Speaker 2: on him when he got underneath his chest plate and

2283
01:59:14,120 --> 01:59:17,200
Speaker 2: dropped him on his shoulder blades. And that led to

2284
01:59:17,480 --> 01:59:18,440
Speaker 2: I think that led.

2285
01:59:18,240 --> 01:59:21,080
Speaker 3: To that was a sacker incompletion.

2286
01:59:20,760 --> 01:59:25,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and incompletion on third down because Goff couldn't step

2287
01:59:25,360 --> 01:59:28,800
Speaker 2: up in the pocket because at Oliver knocked Frank Ragnow

2288
01:59:29,280 --> 01:59:31,840
Speaker 2: into Goff's lap, and that allowed the guys to get

2289
01:59:31,880 --> 01:59:34,720
Speaker 2: around the corner in Rousseau and Miller to get press.

2290
01:59:35,080 --> 01:59:38,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, the pile ended up around Golf and Ragnow was

2291
01:59:38,120 --> 01:59:40,400
Speaker 3: on his back turning, trying to turn over and look

2292
01:59:40,440 --> 01:59:42,080
Speaker 3: back at what the you know, the carnage in the

2293
01:59:42,120 --> 01:59:44,160
Speaker 3: pocket that he was five yards away from because he

2294
01:59:44,200 --> 01:59:48,800
Speaker 3: got left behind. Yeah. Ed played lights out yesterday, no

2295
01:59:48,920 --> 01:59:50,600
Speaker 3: question about it. And a lot of people will say,

2296
01:59:50,600 --> 01:59:52,200
Speaker 3: you know, it's about time it because he has been

2297
01:59:52,200 --> 01:59:55,000
Speaker 3: a little quiet on the statistical front, to say the least.

2298
01:59:55,480 --> 01:59:59,560
Speaker 3: So no question that when push comes to shove, Ed

2299
01:59:59,600 --> 02:00:02,320
Speaker 3: has got that in the tank. And now in this

2300
02:00:02,480 --> 02:00:05,280
Speaker 3: last game of three stretch three game stretched in the

2301
02:00:05,280 --> 02:00:08,360
Speaker 3: regular season and in the playoffs. Hopefully Ed shows up

2302
02:00:08,440 --> 02:00:15,880
Speaker 3: like that way more, particularly in the postseason obviously. But yeah, yesterday,

2303
02:00:16,600 --> 02:00:20,000
Speaker 3: the Bill's defensive front knew they had to be special,

2304
02:00:20,160 --> 02:00:23,080
Speaker 3: and it's nice to know that. When the chips were down,

2305
02:00:23,120 --> 02:00:25,280
Speaker 3: they were no question about it.

2306
02:00:26,240 --> 02:00:29,160
Speaker 2: And look the defensive line. Their pride was wounded from

2307
02:00:29,160 --> 02:00:32,640
Speaker 2: the previous week. We were expecting an inspired performance from them,

2308
02:00:32,960 --> 02:00:35,480
Speaker 2: and we got it. And it was instrumental in the

2309
02:00:35,520 --> 02:00:38,320
Speaker 2: game because knowing how short handed the Bills were on

2310
02:00:38,360 --> 02:00:40,760
Speaker 2: the back end and only getting more short handed as

2311
02:00:40,800 --> 02:00:43,760
Speaker 2: the game moved along, the defensive line needed to show up.

2312
02:00:43,760 --> 02:00:46,920
Speaker 2: They dressed ten defensive linemen in the game yesterday. Just

2313
02:00:46,960 --> 02:00:48,960
Speaker 2: about everybody had a hand in it, and it was

2314
02:00:49,000 --> 02:00:52,000
Speaker 2: a huge difference. They rendered the Lions one dimensional with

2315
02:00:52,040 --> 02:00:55,840
Speaker 2: the run defense up front. David Montgomery got benched for

2316
02:00:55,840 --> 02:00:57,760
Speaker 2: a little while as Jamier Gibbs. They went to a

2317
02:00:57,800 --> 02:01:00,000
Speaker 2: speed guy instead of a power guy because they're power

2318
02:01:00,120 --> 02:01:03,200
Speaker 2: A run game was flat out not working. So you

2319
02:01:03,280 --> 02:01:05,200
Speaker 2: got to give a lot of kudos to a defensive

2320
02:01:05,240 --> 02:01:09,120
Speaker 2: line that bounced back in a gigantic way. Yesterday. Let's

2321
02:01:09,160 --> 02:01:11,520
Speaker 2: head back to the phones and we go to John

2322
02:01:11,640 --> 02:01:13,080
Speaker 2: in Clarence. What do you got for us? John?

2323
02:01:14,440 --> 02:01:17,520
Speaker 20: Hi, guys, thanks for taking my call. I'm in a

2324
02:01:17,560 --> 02:01:23,240
Speaker 20: good mood today. So other than the Rams game, listen,

2325
02:01:23,760 --> 02:01:27,960
Speaker 20: you know this thing about MVP, it's over and to

2326
02:01:28,080 --> 02:01:32,320
Speaker 20: quote Edgar Allan Poe, you know, quote the Raven nevermore so.

2327
02:01:32,520 --> 02:01:35,480
Speaker 20: I think Josh Josh is the best player in the league, period,

2328
02:01:35,960 --> 02:01:40,280
Speaker 20: But that's not really why I'm calling. So I have

2329
02:01:40,360 --> 02:01:44,680
Speaker 20: an issue and it's been discussed from time to time

2330
02:01:44,720 --> 02:01:48,400
Speaker 20: on your show, but it really has to be addressed

2331
02:01:48,600 --> 02:01:54,280
Speaker 20: by the NFL, and that is the penalty situation. To me,

2332
02:01:55,920 --> 02:02:00,920
Speaker 20: they need to either redefine what the holding is on

2333
02:02:01,040 --> 02:02:04,080
Speaker 20: the around the line of scrimmage or just get rid

2334
02:02:04,080 --> 02:02:10,440
Speaker 20: of it completely because in my opinion, it's changing the game,

2335
02:02:11,160 --> 02:02:15,040
Speaker 20: and the referees are becoming the focal point in a

2336
02:02:15,040 --> 02:02:18,200
Speaker 20: lot of these games, and I think it's it's bad.

2337
02:02:18,360 --> 02:02:18,560
Speaker 4: Now.

2338
02:02:19,200 --> 02:02:23,720
Speaker 20: I'm not against calling flagrant falls, you know, or fouls

2339
02:02:23,760 --> 02:02:27,720
Speaker 20: where where people's health or or wellness is like that

2340
02:02:28,040 --> 02:02:31,400
Speaker 20: chop block that was called right or the slap in

2341
02:02:31,440 --> 02:02:34,360
Speaker 20: the Pittsburgh game. Those are calls that are I mean

2342
02:02:34,680 --> 02:02:38,760
Speaker 20: above and beyond. But to me, there are way, way,

2343
02:02:39,160 --> 02:02:44,560
Speaker 20: way too many stoppages in a game for holding it

2344
02:02:44,680 --> 02:02:47,240
Speaker 20: the line of scrimmage. So I think they need to

2345
02:02:47,320 --> 02:02:51,560
Speaker 20: try to address that in the off season because I

2346
02:02:52,160 --> 02:02:54,520
Speaker 20: just it's just too much. I can't watch any of

2347
02:02:54,520 --> 02:02:57,800
Speaker 20: these games anymore where the referees are taken over.

2348
02:02:58,080 --> 02:03:03,080
Speaker 3: You mean the offensive line hold and stuff like that. Yeah, yees, yeah,

2349
02:03:03,400 --> 02:03:08,160
Speaker 3: all right, yeah, you're right, I get it. It does

2350
02:03:08,480 --> 02:03:12,920
Speaker 3: become a problem. I think one of the things the

2351
02:03:12,960 --> 02:03:19,200
Speaker 3: biggest issue is consistency. Offensive linemen get called for something

2352
02:03:19,240 --> 02:03:21,240
Speaker 3: a couple of times in one game that they never

2353
02:03:21,280 --> 02:03:23,400
Speaker 3: got called for the exact same thing in another game

2354
02:03:23,720 --> 02:03:27,360
Speaker 3: in a different game. Right, So not getting called one

2355
02:03:27,400 --> 02:03:29,200
Speaker 3: week doesn't mean you can get away with it the

2356
02:03:29,240 --> 02:03:33,080
Speaker 3: next week. That's the inconsistencies I'm talking about. Also, if

2357
02:03:33,120 --> 02:03:34,600
Speaker 3: they get away with it in the game early in

2358
02:03:34,640 --> 02:03:36,560
Speaker 3: the game, why won't they get away with it later

2359
02:03:36,600 --> 02:03:41,440
Speaker 3: in the game. There's inconsistencies there. That's more the problem

2360
02:03:41,560 --> 02:03:43,880
Speaker 3: that I see than anything, certainly, And I'll say this

2361
02:03:45,400 --> 02:03:48,879
Speaker 3: as a player, nobody was more difficult hard on officials

2362
02:03:48,880 --> 02:03:53,800
Speaker 3: than me. I was notorious, I was terrible, But I

2363
02:03:53,840 --> 02:03:56,720
Speaker 3: do know that those guys. It's a really difficult job,

2364
02:03:57,800 --> 02:03:59,720
Speaker 3: and it's an old adage that you could call holding

2365
02:03:59,720 --> 02:04:03,960
Speaker 3: on very replay. I get all of that stuff, but

2366
02:04:04,040 --> 02:04:09,440
Speaker 3: you're right. Sometimes it seems like they're calling it. Like

2367
02:04:09,760 --> 02:04:13,320
Speaker 3: the chest pass that got called back, the holding on

2368
02:04:13,320 --> 02:04:17,560
Speaker 3: on David Edwards. I couldn't see it. I don't I

2369
02:04:17,560 --> 02:04:20,080
Speaker 3: haven't seen it. It's got his hands inside the frame

2370
02:04:20,120 --> 02:04:23,720
Speaker 3: of the guy's body and is holding up at the line.

2371
02:04:23,760 --> 02:04:26,600
Speaker 3: He's got him at the line of scrimmage. I don't know.

2372
02:04:26,640 --> 02:04:29,440
Speaker 3: I'm with you. I didn't like that call at all,

2373
02:04:31,760 --> 02:04:33,400
Speaker 3: but it was called and all that now, I will

2374
02:04:33,400 --> 02:04:36,840
Speaker 3: say this again, one of the things that the league

2375
02:04:36,960 --> 02:04:39,920
Speaker 3: has done that is, you know, it's hard not to

2376
02:04:40,360 --> 02:04:42,120
Speaker 3: hard to argue with, is the fact that they've got

2377
02:04:42,120 --> 02:04:45,800
Speaker 3: these games where they are close. You've got the worst

2378
02:04:45,840 --> 02:04:47,520
Speaker 3: teams in the league that can play with the best

2379
02:04:47,560 --> 02:04:49,280
Speaker 3: teams in the league. I'm not saying there's never blowouts,

2380
02:04:49,280 --> 02:04:50,880
Speaker 3: because there are, particularly at this time of year. We've

2381
02:04:50,880 --> 02:04:55,080
Speaker 3: seen a bunch of them. But also there is a

2382
02:04:55,160 --> 02:04:59,040
Speaker 3: ton of games in the NFL that are very very

2383
02:04:59,080 --> 02:05:04,040
Speaker 3: close all way through. When that happens, any call the

2384
02:05:04,080 --> 02:05:07,680
Speaker 3: official makes, whether it's a good call, or a non

2385
02:05:07,800 --> 02:05:12,600
Speaker 3: call that should have been called, or a bad call,

2386
02:05:12,760 --> 02:05:15,800
Speaker 3: any one of those three, and they're gonna take criticism

2387
02:05:16,440 --> 02:05:18,080
Speaker 3: any one of them, even if it's a good call.

2388
02:05:18,120 --> 02:05:20,560
Speaker 3: The other team says, well you didn't, they'll they'll they'll

2389
02:05:20,600 --> 02:05:23,360
Speaker 3: call to the inconsistencies that I just mentioned. So the

2390
02:05:23,400 --> 02:05:26,360
Speaker 3: officials are in a kind of a hard to win situation,

2391
02:05:26,520 --> 02:05:29,960
Speaker 3: particularly with the atmosphere of so many close games in

2392
02:05:30,000 --> 02:05:32,960
Speaker 3: the National Football League. If they call it, even if

2393
02:05:33,000 --> 02:05:35,560
Speaker 3: it's a good penalty, somebody's gonna at least complain right

2394
02:05:35,600 --> 02:05:38,240
Speaker 3: in the moment. If they don't make a call that

2395
02:05:38,280 --> 02:05:42,360
Speaker 3: should have been called, the team that didn't get the

2396
02:05:42,360 --> 02:05:45,440
Speaker 3: benefit of the penalty has a real beef. And if

2397
02:05:45,440 --> 02:05:48,480
Speaker 3: they make a bad call or an exaggerated call, or

2398
02:05:48,520 --> 02:05:51,440
Speaker 3: a tickie tack call, same thing. One of those teams

2399
02:05:51,440 --> 02:05:55,640
Speaker 3: has got a legitimate beef. So it's it's a tough

2400
02:05:55,840 --> 02:06:00,160
Speaker 3: atmosphere to do your job in when nothing you do

2401
02:06:00,800 --> 02:06:04,560
Speaker 3: is going to be applauded. It's just going to be

2402
02:06:04,720 --> 02:06:07,880
Speaker 3: criticized in two instances and one taken for granted in

2403
02:06:07,920 --> 02:06:09,880
Speaker 3: the third. Even if you make the right call, it's

2404
02:06:09,880 --> 02:06:13,040
Speaker 3: a good call, it's a hard way to make a living.

2405
02:06:13,600 --> 02:06:18,680
Speaker 3: It's a hard atmosphere to earn kudos in. And you know,

2406
02:06:18,960 --> 02:06:22,120
Speaker 3: for all the things that the league does, I think

2407
02:06:22,120 --> 02:06:23,600
Speaker 3: this is one of those things we're gonna have to

2408
02:06:23,600 --> 02:06:27,840
Speaker 3: live with because the games are all close, and they

2409
02:06:27,840 --> 02:06:29,560
Speaker 3: come down to one or two or three plays, and

2410
02:06:29,600 --> 02:06:32,960
Speaker 3: if the officials involved in any way, it's a squasher.

2411
02:06:34,160 --> 02:06:37,160
Speaker 2: Let's move along to Paul in Rochester. What do you

2412
02:06:37,200 --> 02:06:37,800
Speaker 2: got for us? Paul?

2413
02:06:38,880 --> 02:06:40,880
Speaker 7: Hey, good afternoon, gentlemen. How are we today?

2414
02:06:40,920 --> 02:06:41,160
Speaker 2: Good?

2415
02:06:42,280 --> 02:06:47,160
Speaker 7: Excellent? Every week we seem to see stat at Josh

2416
02:06:47,320 --> 02:06:49,640
Speaker 7: on the first in the NFL to do X, whether

2417
02:06:49,680 --> 02:06:52,400
Speaker 7: it be what he did last couple of weeks, last week, whatever.

2418
02:06:52,960 --> 02:06:58,240
Speaker 7: I read something today that Patrick Mahomes was the first,

2419
02:06:58,320 --> 02:07:02,120
Speaker 7: the quickest to reach three hundred tone touchdown passes, three

2420
02:07:02,160 --> 02:07:07,920
Speaker 7: hundred being the set by Rogers, and he had it

2421
02:07:07,920 --> 02:07:09,720
Speaker 7: in one hundred and twenty eight games. He had his

2422
02:07:09,760 --> 02:07:14,960
Speaker 7: three hundred touchdown yesterday. Well, Josh's I think is numbers serve.

2423
02:07:15,040 --> 02:07:17,600
Speaker 7: He's at two fifty eight through one hundred and eight games,

2424
02:07:18,200 --> 02:07:20,800
Speaker 7: and so that means nineteen games to beat the record.

2425
02:07:20,840 --> 02:07:23,600
Speaker 7: He only needs forty two touchdown passes. We know he's

2426
02:07:23,640 --> 02:07:26,200
Speaker 7: been in the mode of mid forties each last three

2427
02:07:26,280 --> 02:07:28,640
Speaker 7: or four years, so the next year he's going to

2428
02:07:28,720 --> 02:07:31,280
Speaker 7: hit that one fastest ever. So I think that's just

2429
02:07:31,360 --> 02:07:34,960
Speaker 7: another first in the NFL to do something stat for

2430
02:07:35,240 --> 02:07:37,560
Speaker 7: a record for Josh, which is just amazing that we're

2431
02:07:37,600 --> 02:07:40,120
Speaker 7: seeing him on our favorite team, but also seeing him

2432
02:07:40,160 --> 02:07:42,160
Speaker 7: in our lifetimes too, you know. I mean, it's an

2433
02:07:42,200 --> 02:07:44,800
Speaker 7: amazing to see him. And I hate to give credit

2434
02:07:44,800 --> 02:07:48,800
Speaker 7: to Mahomes and Jackson, but you know, seeing those three

2435
02:07:48,840 --> 02:07:52,440
Speaker 7: play that that position at one time is really amazing.

2436
02:07:52,520 --> 02:07:56,680
Speaker 7: Kind of like when Brady and Peyton Manning and Drew

2437
02:07:56,680 --> 02:07:58,720
Speaker 7: Brees were all playing together. It's kind of cool to

2438
02:07:58,760 --> 02:08:01,840
Speaker 7: see all those quarterbacks hitting those kind of numbers. It's

2439
02:08:01,880 --> 02:08:03,640
Speaker 7: just fun to watch, and of course one being for

2440
02:08:03,720 --> 02:08:05,640
Speaker 7: our team that makes it even better.

2441
02:08:06,080 --> 02:08:09,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, yeah, no, that's fine, and thanks for

2442
02:08:09,160 --> 02:08:13,560
Speaker 2: the call, Paul. Josh already tied Mahomes for fastest to

2443
02:08:13,600 --> 02:08:18,800
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty touchdowns in his first seven seasons,

2444
02:08:18,840 --> 02:08:20,920
Speaker 2: doing it in one hundred and seven games. That's tied

2445
02:08:20,960 --> 02:08:23,920
Speaker 2: for the fastest ever in a quarterbacks for seven seasons

2446
02:08:23,920 --> 02:08:26,840
Speaker 2: to get to two hundred and fifty total touchdowns. He

2447
02:08:26,920 --> 02:08:29,720
Speaker 2: did it in one hundred and seven games, so keeps

2448
02:08:29,720 --> 02:08:32,880
Speaker 2: the same pace, doesn't miss time on the field. Yeah,

2449
02:08:32,920 --> 02:08:35,960
Speaker 2: he'll probably flirt with that three hundred number next season

2450
02:08:36,000 --> 02:08:40,600
Speaker 2: at some point because he's right back where he was,

2451
02:08:41,000 --> 02:08:43,680
Speaker 2: you know, again this season. And it's funny some people

2452
02:08:43,720 --> 02:08:46,320
Speaker 2: are forgetting his receiving touchdown a couple of weeks ago

2453
02:08:47,040 --> 02:08:49,480
Speaker 2: against the forty nine ers, Like even ESPN when they

2454
02:08:49,520 --> 02:08:51,360
Speaker 2: put up the stat they're like, oh, he's got thirteen

2455
02:08:51,400 --> 02:08:53,680
Speaker 2: touchdowns in his last three games. It's like, oh, hold on,

2456
02:08:53,720 --> 02:08:56,560
Speaker 2: he's got fourteen, But it doesn't show up on a

2457
02:08:56,560 --> 02:08:59,320
Speaker 2: lot of statistical services because it was a receiving touchdown

2458
02:08:59,320 --> 02:09:02,080
Speaker 2: without a receipt, it was a lateral.

2459
02:09:02,680 --> 02:09:05,880
Speaker 3: I said this earlier. Josh has more touchdown He's got

2460
02:09:05,960 --> 02:09:09,160
Speaker 3: thirty more touchdowns than any other player in any other

2461
02:09:09,240 --> 02:09:16,040
Speaker 3: quarterback in the league since twenty twenty one. Thirty. Yeah,

2462
02:09:16,080 --> 02:09:18,920
Speaker 3: he's he's off his rocker and he's playing so good.

2463
02:09:19,000 --> 02:09:21,840
Speaker 2: And since twenty eighteen, he is the second most rushing

2464
02:09:21,880 --> 02:09:24,400
Speaker 2: touchdowns in football. The only guy with more rushing touchdowns

2465
02:09:24,440 --> 02:09:27,400
Speaker 2: than Josh Allen is Derrick Henry. He's a quarterback.

2466
02:09:27,560 --> 02:09:32,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll say this too. I agree with Paul. He

2467
02:09:32,040 --> 02:09:33,760
Speaker 3: calls up and it seems like, and I talked to

2468
02:09:34,080 --> 02:09:37,280
Speaker 3: McDermott about this all the time on his show, I'm like, Okay,

2469
02:09:37,280 --> 02:09:40,040
Speaker 3: here we go again. Josh is the first quarterback ever

2470
02:09:40,200 --> 02:09:43,000
Speaker 3: to do a B and C in the same game,

2471
02:09:43,240 --> 02:09:45,200
Speaker 3: or have a stretch of games that is a B

2472
02:09:45,320 --> 02:09:47,800
Speaker 3: and C. First quarterback in history to do this, first

2473
02:09:47,880 --> 02:09:50,600
Speaker 3: quarterback in history to do that, first guy ever to

2474
02:09:50,680 --> 02:09:55,120
Speaker 3: do this. It's it's he does it all the time.

2475
02:09:57,000 --> 02:09:59,720
Speaker 3: He does that more than any player I have ever

2476
02:09:59,760 --> 02:10:03,000
Speaker 3: heard about or scene, first player in history to do

2477
02:10:03,200 --> 02:10:04,640
Speaker 3: like nine different things.

2478
02:10:05,600 --> 02:10:09,400
Speaker 2: If he gets two rushing touchdowns next week, he's gonna

2479
02:10:09,400 --> 02:10:13,160
Speaker 2: pass Therman Thomas for the most rushing touchdowns in Bill's history.

2480
02:10:14,960 --> 02:10:16,120
Speaker 3: By the way, Thurma was pretty good.

2481
02:10:16,560 --> 02:10:19,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he was running back.

2482
02:10:20,160 --> 02:10:23,400
Speaker 3: What he is an at you called it. He's a

2483
02:10:23,520 --> 02:10:24,800
Speaker 3: he's a touchdown factory.

2484
02:10:24,880 --> 02:10:26,800
Speaker 2: Yeah he is. He just scores points.

2485
02:10:26,960 --> 02:10:30,520
Speaker 3: That's all he does. And he's just and this just

2486
02:10:30,600 --> 02:10:33,000
Speaker 3: in for a guy on the offensive side of the ball.

2487
02:10:33,000 --> 02:10:33,720
Speaker 3: That's the object.

2488
02:10:35,480 --> 02:10:37,760
Speaker 2: We are going to step aside here one segment ago

2489
02:10:37,800 --> 02:10:40,600
Speaker 2: on a Buffalo victory Monday, Chris Brown Steve Task. We'll

2490
02:10:40,600 --> 02:10:42,160
Speaker 2: see if we can crack open the tweet sheet for

2491
02:10:42,160 --> 02:10:44,760
Speaker 2: a couple of the comments there here on a victory

2492
02:10:44,800 --> 02:10:46,200
Speaker 2: Monday on one Bill's Live Stay with.

2493
02:10:46,200 --> 02:11:04,560
Speaker 21: Us, We're gonna finish our Buffalo victory.

2494
02:11:04,240 --> 02:11:06,560
Speaker 2: Monday with a few comments from the tweet sheet, which

2495
02:11:06,600 --> 02:11:08,800
Speaker 2: is brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official

2496
02:11:08,840 --> 02:11:12,520
Speaker 2: equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Where Joseph's takeaway

2497
02:11:12,720 --> 02:11:14,880
Speaker 2: was the defense played a very good first half, but

2498
02:11:14,960 --> 02:11:16,960
Speaker 2: injuries caught up to them. They need to get healthy

2499
02:11:16,960 --> 02:11:20,440
Speaker 2: heading into the playoffs. D line flat out dominated. Oliver

2500
02:11:20,480 --> 02:11:22,840
Speaker 2: and Eland both had very good games. Biggest issues on

2501
02:11:22,880 --> 02:11:27,040
Speaker 2: defense were mistackles and too many third and fourth and longs.

2502
02:11:28,320 --> 02:11:30,040
Speaker 2: I think third and fourth and long what you want

2503
02:11:30,080 --> 02:11:30,600
Speaker 2: on defense?

2504
02:11:32,000 --> 02:11:33,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what these mean.

2505
02:11:33,320 --> 02:11:36,000
Speaker 2: Maybe they meant they were converted. I do not know.

2506
02:11:36,120 --> 02:11:39,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe converted so well they did convert. They were

2507
02:11:39,520 --> 02:11:42,200
Speaker 3: one hundred percent on fourth downs yesterday were the Lions?

2508
02:11:42,600 --> 02:11:45,840
Speaker 2: They were four and five a week prior. Yeah, I

2509
02:11:45,840 --> 02:11:48,200
Speaker 2: think they were over fifty percent on third down two

2510
02:11:48,200 --> 02:11:51,200
Speaker 2: oh no six of thirteen, forty six percent. The Lions were.

2511
02:11:52,080 --> 02:11:54,520
Speaker 2: Alex says, amazing and super fun being there. I just

2512
02:11:54,520 --> 02:11:57,080
Speaker 2: wish we wouldn't swap to this soft zone as soon

2513
02:11:57,080 --> 02:11:58,400
Speaker 2: as we get a bit of a lead. I know

2514
02:11:58,440 --> 02:12:00,000
Speaker 2: we had a lot of starters down, but it felt

2515
02:12:00,080 --> 02:12:02,880
Speaker 2: more scheme than anything. At least the offense was all gas,

2516
02:12:02,960 --> 02:12:05,920
Speaker 2: no breaks. I think they played more conservatively when they

2517
02:12:05,920 --> 02:12:08,920
Speaker 2: were up twenty one points with a decimated back seven

2518
02:12:08,960 --> 02:12:11,280
Speaker 2: on defense, I mean, just keep it all in front

2519
02:12:11,280 --> 02:12:14,440
Speaker 2: of you, make a milk clock and matriculate their way

2520
02:12:14,480 --> 02:12:17,320
Speaker 2: down the field because the longer that possession takes, the

2521
02:12:17,360 --> 02:12:18,600
Speaker 2: fewer possessions they're gonna have.

2522
02:12:18,640 --> 02:12:21,200
Speaker 3: After they needed three scores to win twice in the

2523
02:12:21,240 --> 02:12:23,440
Speaker 3: second half, and the Bills were trying to shorten that

2524
02:12:23,560 --> 02:12:26,600
Speaker 3: game and keep let them eat the clock as well

2525
02:12:26,640 --> 02:12:29,000
Speaker 3: as the Bills offense eat the clock and just shorten

2526
02:12:29,040 --> 02:12:30,680
Speaker 3: the game. They didn't have enough possession to get back

2527
02:12:30,680 --> 02:12:33,160
Speaker 3: in and that's exactly what happened. Yeah, even with the

2528
02:12:33,240 --> 02:12:35,840
Speaker 3: long touchdown pastest I'm on Russ Saint Brown, they didn't

2529
02:12:35,840 --> 02:12:36,680
Speaker 3: have enough possessions.

2530
02:12:36,880 --> 02:12:39,520
Speaker 2: Jerry on the tweets sheet says that Harley Steinfeld is

2531
02:12:39,520 --> 02:12:41,640
Speaker 2: an angel and the best thing to ever happen to

2532
02:12:41,720 --> 02:12:45,320
Speaker 2: Josh and his confidence. Not for nothing. Since he's been engaged,

2533
02:12:46,080 --> 02:12:51,640
Speaker 2: Josh has gone touchdown Cray, Cray, somebody tweeted last night.

2534
02:12:51,960 --> 02:12:53,760
Speaker 2: If this is how good when he gets engaged, can

2535
02:12:53,760 --> 02:12:55,640
Speaker 2: you imagine what he's gonna be like when he has kids.

2536
02:12:56,080 --> 02:13:01,680
Speaker 2: So Hey, look, Patrick mahomes got a wife with two kids.

2537
02:13:01,680 --> 02:13:02,920
Speaker 2: It's working pretty good for him.

2538
02:13:03,280 --> 02:13:03,800
Speaker 3: Let's go.

2539
02:13:07,960 --> 02:13:10,560
Speaker 2: Connor says Allan is a freaking nature. Love that he

2540
02:13:10,640 --> 02:13:12,640
Speaker 2: is continuing to show why he's the best quarterback in

2541
02:13:12,680 --> 02:13:15,280
Speaker 2: the NFL. Biggest takeaway is that the D line created pressure.

2542
02:13:15,360 --> 02:13:17,640
Speaker 2: Run game was not there for Detroit. The only thing

2543
02:13:17,680 --> 02:13:19,839
Speaker 2: I want to see is the D line finishing the pressure.

2544
02:13:20,080 --> 02:13:22,960
Speaker 2: Had some sacks but left some out there. Yeah, but

2545
02:13:23,360 --> 02:13:25,120
Speaker 2: I think you got to just focus on how much

2546
02:13:25,120 --> 02:13:28,440
Speaker 2: they're affecting the quarterback. They had twenty five quarterback pressures

2547
02:13:28,440 --> 02:13:29,360
Speaker 2: on GoF yesterday.

2548
02:13:29,360 --> 02:13:29,840
Speaker 3: They were good.

2549
02:13:29,880 --> 02:13:32,320
Speaker 2: It's the most he has had in one game this season.

2550
02:13:32,720 --> 02:13:34,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were very good yesterday.

2551
02:13:34,720 --> 02:13:37,800
Speaker 2: They were effective. Dean says Lions game planned to stop

2552
02:13:37,880 --> 02:13:40,120
Speaker 2: Cooper and the receivers, so Brady schemed it up to

2553
02:13:40,200 --> 02:13:41,800
Speaker 2: use the backs and tight ends to take advantage of

2554
02:13:41,840 --> 02:13:44,760
Speaker 2: the matchups against their weak linebackers, saying Cooper didn't get

2555
02:13:44,760 --> 02:13:46,680
Speaker 2: a catcher a target is why we send digs away.

2556
02:13:46,680 --> 02:13:49,200
Speaker 2: No need to cater to just one player. Steve mentioned

2557
02:13:49,240 --> 02:13:50,240
Speaker 2: that earlier in the show.

2558
02:13:50,320 --> 02:13:52,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the guy leads the team in receptions

2559
02:13:52,680 --> 02:13:54,520
Speaker 3: last week, he doesn't get a target this week, and

2560
02:13:54,560 --> 02:13:57,200
Speaker 3: they win. They score forty points doing both. It's pretty cool.

2561
02:13:57,320 --> 02:13:59,960
Speaker 2: Nate says. My biggest takeaway is the defense is wolf,

2562
02:14:00,680 --> 02:14:04,480
Speaker 2: but I'm confident they'll be ready for the playoffs. Cook, Johnson, Brown, Laporta,

2563
02:14:04,560 --> 02:14:07,800
Speaker 2: Goff and Allen we're all over one hundred yards of offense. Dang,

2564
02:14:07,840 --> 02:14:10,160
Speaker 2: if that's an awesome Super Bowl preview, I'll take it

2565
02:14:11,120 --> 02:14:13,600
Speaker 2: as long as the Bills win. I'm not convinced the

2566
02:14:13,680 --> 02:14:14,680
Speaker 2: Lions are gonna get there.

2567
02:14:14,880 --> 02:14:15,520
Speaker 3: They're nicked.

2568
02:14:15,960 --> 02:14:19,320
Speaker 2: They're more than nicked. They're decimated by injuries, and it's

2569
02:14:19,360 --> 02:14:20,840
Speaker 2: a battle of attrition, and I don't know if they're

2570
02:14:20,840 --> 02:14:22,640
Speaker 2: gonna be able to get past teams like Philly or

2571
02:14:22,640 --> 02:14:25,480
Speaker 2: even Minnesota in their own division. We'll see. That's it

2572
02:14:25,560 --> 02:14:27,840
Speaker 2: for us today. Back tomorrow at one, we'll have Dan

2573
02:14:27,960 --> 02:14:42,640
Speaker 2: Orlowski for me. ESPN. We'll see you then,
