Speaker 4: The Patriots come out of nowhere to get a twenty
Speaker 4: nine to twenty five win over the Buffalo Bills today
Speaker 4: at Gillette Stadium, and we are here for all of it.
Speaker 4: This episode of the Patriots Postgame Show is presented by DraftKings.
Speaker 4: It's Hardy here out right away. I managed to make
Speaker 4: it down through the bowels of Jillette Stadium and stop
Speaker 4: periodically to monitor the game on the various television sets
Speaker 4: and elevator lobbies and hallways. Mike Duss Paul Perilla making
Speaker 4: their way down right now to talk about this game
Speaker 4: with you. Moves the Patriots to two and five on
Speaker 4: the season. The Buffalo Bills now four and three and
Speaker 4: they are one and two away from Buffalo, So lot
Speaker 4: to talk about, a lot to talk about with the
Speaker 4: way the game was handled and managed. But if you
Speaker 4: want to talk about the initial keys, I got to
Speaker 4: hand it to Mike Dussau who said, hey, why don't
Speaker 4: you go out there and score first and see if
Speaker 4: you can get a stop, which is exactly what the
Speaker 4: Patriots did. They jumped out to a ten nothing lead,
Speaker 4: and that included an interception on the Buffalo first offensive
Speaker 4: drive of the game. So Patriots not able to score first,
Speaker 4: but also turn the ball over immediately and put themselves
Speaker 4: in a position to where they got the lead and
Speaker 4: really only relinquished it once at the very end of
Speaker 4: the game. So much to go over here, So we're
Speaker 4: going to invite you to join us here. Eight five
Speaker 4: five Pats five hundred Web Radio at Patriots dot Com.
Speaker 4: Got to give it up for a couple of players
Speaker 4: right away, including Mac Jones. We were wondering if Mac
Speaker 4: Jones was going to be able to lead this team
Speaker 4: down the stretch and figure out a way to win well.
Speaker 4: Trailing twenty five twenty two and the Patriots getting the
Speaker 4: ball back, mac Jones not only got them into field
Speaker 4: goal position, but after a couple of stumbles there after
Speaker 4: getting into field goal position, managed to find Hunter Henry
Speaker 4: on a huge play and eventually get into the end
Speaker 4: zone there. To give them what I think once they
Speaker 4: got into field goal position, a lot of Patriots fans
Speaker 4: were thinking the same thing. Okay, let's get this thing
Speaker 4: to overtime and see what happens. Wasn't necessary, as the
Speaker 4: Patriots find a way to score as mac Jones found
Speaker 4: Mike Gasicki in the end zone for the game winning touchdown.
Speaker 4: The Bills did get the ball back, only had a
Speaker 4: couple of plays from scrimmage after getting the ball back.
Speaker 4: Stefan Diggs nearly brought one down, but still they would
Speaker 4: have been thirty yards away from the end zone and
Speaker 4: the final play of the game another turnover and the
Speaker 4: Patriots emerge victorious here in Week seven of the NFL
Speaker 4: once again to move to two and five on the
Speaker 4: season and show some real life out there in a
Speaker 4: variety of ways. Mike Desso pal Parillo joining us. Now, Deuce,
Speaker 4: I gave your credit right away, your key to score
Speaker 4: first and to get a stop is exactly how that
Speaker 4: game opened up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was a good start, you know, I think
Speaker 5: it kind of set the table for him. I mean, look,
Speaker 5: I think we all thought, you know, when they were
Speaker 5: settling for field goals in the red zone, like this
Speaker 5: isn't gonna be enough, This isn't gonna be enough. This
Speaker 5: offense is too good. And that's certainly the way it
Speaker 5: felt right down to the end. I you know, we
Speaker 5: haven't seen this from Mac in the offense. We haven't
Speaker 5: seen a clutch drive like this since you know, as
Speaker 5: you want to guess San.
Speaker 4: Diego or La Chargers a few years ago.
Speaker 5: That was the only time he had a fourth quarter
Speaker 5: comeback like this. So, you know, credit they did enough,
Speaker 5: They did enough, some big plays and I just got
Speaker 5: to give a lot of credit to to the offense
Speaker 5: for that last drive, because I sure the heck did
Speaker 5: not see them pulling that out. So Ramandre, of course,
Speaker 5: Kasiki at the end there, Hunter Henry with a big play.
Speaker 5: You know, it just it just kind of all went
Speaker 5: right for them down the stretch.
Speaker 1: So it was a.
Speaker 5: It was a really good win. It was a heart
Speaker 5: stopping game and just a fun game to watch. And
Speaker 5: so I don't know.
Speaker 1: My heart was like racing. I was so nervous game
Speaker 1: right down to the end. It was a terrific game,
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of back and forth, a
Speaker 1: lot of I thought questionable stuff coaching wise, on the
Speaker 1: Bills part especially. I thought there was some questionable calls
Speaker 1: by the officials. But the last drive I had full
Speaker 1: faith that they would move the ball and getting field
Speaker 1: goal range. I have to be completely honest. I did
Speaker 1: not even put a touchdown in the possibility category. And
Speaker 1: the throw to Hunter Henry, which I think we're going
Speaker 1: to see right here. You see how close Epanessa comes
Speaker 1: to causing a strip sacked there. This is a great throw.
Speaker 1: This is because they were sort of that was third
Speaker 1: and long, third and nine. I think if they don't
Speaker 1: get the first down, they probably have to kick a
Speaker 1: long field goal, and it would have been time for
Speaker 1: Buffalo to get that field goal back. So this throat, well,
Speaker 1: not that one. The throw to Hunter Henry, to me,
Speaker 1: considering the circumstances, I think might have been one of
Speaker 1: the best throws that Mac Jones has made, you know,
Speaker 1: in terms of the clutch like they haven't had. And
Speaker 1: I mean we all know the numbers. It's the first
Speaker 1: time they've ever won a game under Mac with the
Speaker 1: other team scoring twenty five points. And it's the first
Speaker 1: time they've come from behind with the drive as opposed
Speaker 1: to a pick six, which was how they won that
Speaker 1: other game that they came from behind. This was Mac Jones's,
Speaker 1: Mac Jones's day, you know, the touchdown to t GASICKI
Speaker 1: to end it that just you know, I felt I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't like when people say this stuff because it
Speaker 1: kind of sounds condescending, but I felt good for Mac
Speaker 1: Jones today. Yeah, like to have that drive. I think
Speaker 1: he's been under a lot of pressure, a lot of
Speaker 1: heat from all of us, and I say us myself included,
Speaker 1: you know, for at least one day. They made the
Speaker 1: plays at the end, you know, hats off to the
Speaker 1: Patriots in general and hats off to Mac Jones specifically.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think he really needed that if he
Speaker 4: wanted to have that type of narrative for this game,
Speaker 4: because there were mistakes made.
Speaker 1: I don't think he played overly well in the game. Well,
Speaker 1: but in that drive he was balls, yeah, and the
Speaker 1: final rabbit have.
Speaker 4: That of course, but you know, if if it's not
Speaker 4: for that, and I'm not you know, trying to throw
Speaker 4: shade on him immediately afterward. But there were you know,
Speaker 4: there should have been back to back delay of game calls.
Speaker 4: It only got called once.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I said they got a lot of
Speaker 1: breaks today.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they got a couple of breaks that way, and
Speaker 4: they got a couple of you know, questionable coaching decisions
Speaker 4: work out for the Patriots. You know, you mentioned the
Speaker 4: bills and some of the things they're doing coaching wise.
Speaker 4: You know, I questioned why the Patriots weren't using any
Speaker 4: of their timeouts at the end of the first half
Speaker 4: when they were trying to get another score on the board,
Speaker 4: and it just seemed, I don't know, there seemed like
Speaker 4: a lack of urgency right up until the very end
Speaker 4: when they got things figured out. And with a minute
Speaker 4: fifty eight, that's that's how things unfolded, with the Patriots
Speaker 4: starting on their own twenty five, marching down the field,
Speaker 4: getting into field goal range, maybe just barely getting out
Speaker 4: after a loss of.
Speaker 1: A long one on an incomplete pass.
Speaker 4: There a loss of yardage on that incomplete and it's just.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Douceid don't know.
Speaker 4: I was thinking field goal, just like Paul said, I
Speaker 4: was thinking field goal. Let's see what happens in overtime.
Speaker 4: And I would have been I would have been in
Speaker 4: here practically singing the same praises had they just been
Speaker 4: able to get into field goal range, and that would
Speaker 4: have been enough for make me to make me say, Okay,
Speaker 4: Kit really showed you something today. Yeah, but wow, did
Speaker 4: they go above and beyond? They did?
Speaker 5: They did, and you know, it's just I think it's
Speaker 5: it's especially you know, just I don't know what the
Speaker 5: word is, the fact that they did this defensively, and
Speaker 5: I mean they held hang on by the skin of
Speaker 5: their teeth. I mean there were multiple Buffalo drives that
Speaker 5: were you know, double digit, double digit plays, you know,
Speaker 5: but just to hang in there like they did. We've
Speaker 5: seen you know, talented Patriots defenses go up against this
Speaker 5: Buffalo offense in recent years and not have any answers.
Speaker 1: So, you know, they just did enough on defense.
Speaker 5: It was certainly really close, and it seemed, you know
Speaker 5: like Buffalo just did enough at the end to kind
Speaker 5: of to pull away.
Speaker 1: But it's just one of those games.
Speaker 5: Where you didn't know if the Patriots had the mental
Speaker 5: toughness for this kind of game.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 5: It just it's been so long since they've really been
Speaker 5: able to be in a close game that goes right
Speaker 5: down to the end and just to make those kind
Speaker 5: of critical plays, and you know that they finally did it.
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, what does.
Speaker 5: It mean, you're two and five. It's it's you know,
Speaker 5: it's still a long road to go. But I just
Speaker 5: think for keeping everybody on the same page, keeping everybody
Speaker 5: kind of bought in, it's just a much needed jolt.
Speaker 1: Of energy, I think for this Patriots.
Speaker 5: Team that you know, just going to take a little
Speaker 5: bit of that bad energy away around Mac and you know.
Speaker 1: Everything, a badly needed jolt of energy. Yeah, and that's
Speaker 1: exactly what they looked like and forever since they've had
Speaker 1: one of those.
Speaker 5: I mean, go into the preseason, really there wasn't even
Speaker 5: anything really there, you know. So we'll see, we'll see
Speaker 5: what they can build off of. They should have some confidence,
Speaker 5: you know, they should have some uh, you know, a
Speaker 5: little bit more belief in themselves now that they've they've
Speaker 5: got to go down to Miami. But it just gets
Speaker 5: harder with the Dolphins and everything they're able to do
Speaker 5: on offense. So you know, is the defense going to
Speaker 5: be able to find something else like this next week?
Speaker 1: I hope so, but but it's going to be a
Speaker 1: big challenge.
Speaker 4: All right, Let's get to our good, bad, and injured list,
Speaker 4: because I know a lot of people are going to
Speaker 4: want to talk to us and get your emails rolling
Speaker 4: in here to web radio at Patriots dot Com eight
Speaker 4: five to five, Pats five hundred to join the show.
Speaker 4: But first, the good, the bad, me injured.
Speaker 1: Now it's time for the good, pretty good.
Speaker 7: It's pretty pretty pretty good, the bad, and the injured.
Speaker 8: Ah ah, you are right guy.
Speaker 4: Good players, the bad players, and the injured players are
Speaker 4: brought to you by the Okays as we uh just
Speaker 4: are still reeling from this twenty nine to twenty five
Speaker 4: win for the Patriots today here at you let Stadium
Speaker 4: over the Bills, Paul, why don't you give us your
Speaker 4: first good first?
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna get my first good to Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: And okay, why don't we want to do that first?
Speaker 4: I want to I want to talk to the man
Speaker 4: of the hour. I mean there are multiple men of
Speaker 4: the hour, but we'd be hard pressed to find someone
Speaker 4: better to talk to than Mike. Is Sicky joining us
Speaker 4: right now on the Patriots postgame show. It's Hardy, Mike
Speaker 4: do So and Paul Parrilla. Mike, congratulations, what a game.
Speaker 9: Oh thank you guys very much.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 9: I appreciate it.
Speaker 5: Mike, Just you know, what was the energy like coming
Speaker 5: out today, because it seems like you guys finally got
Speaker 5: you know, a good start. You came out, you put
Speaker 5: a drive together, you put some points on the board,
Speaker 5: the defense came out and got that interception. Just you know,
Speaker 5: can you speak a little bit to just the start
Speaker 5: and the energy that that brought to your team?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely, I mean it was something that we focused on,
Speaker 9: you know, all week in practice, just talked about it
Speaker 9: all week, just starting fast and you know, playing from ahead,
Speaker 9: and we were able to do that and uh and
Speaker 9: then obviously, you know it took all four quarters and
Speaker 9: all the scon minutes.
Speaker 1: So Mike, obviously you come down to the wire there,
Speaker 1: you're at the one yard line, you have no time out,
Speaker 1: so running the ball probably not an option there to
Speaker 1: make sure you have the tying field goal. Take us
Speaker 1: through the touchdown catch. You looked like you got inside
Speaker 1: of I think it was it was it Johnson. I
Speaker 1: think Taron Johnson.
Speaker 9: Uh yeah, absolutely, yeah. I mean I knew once we
Speaker 9: sent that personnel on the field that you know, I
Speaker 9: was gonna have a chance. And uh, you know it
Speaker 9: was really just four verts by everybody in the field,
Speaker 9: and you know, Mac just kind of going to going
Speaker 9: to whatever matchup that that he that he selected, and
Speaker 9: you know, I'm appreciated with him giving.
Speaker 10: Me a chance.
Speaker 9: And uh, you know I knew that, you know, Johnson
Speaker 9: was probably think I was gonna try to get to
Speaker 9: his outside and maybe like a back shoulder, So I
Speaker 9: tried to you know, sell that and then you know,
Speaker 9: sneak inside and make make a play.
Speaker 5: See it seemed like Mac had to go to you
Speaker 5: on National tight Ends Day though, right like that, like
Speaker 5: that just had to happen.
Speaker 9: Hey man, I'll take you. I'll take you. I mean
Speaker 9: that was that was definitely a fun way to end.
Speaker 4: Mike we I'm sorry, we we won't uh you won't
Speaker 4: tell anybody, but were you thinking field goal? Maybe field
Speaker 4: goal on that last drive and then and then we'll
Speaker 4: see what happens in overtime.
Speaker 9: Uh, you know, honestly, I mean, you know, on the sideline,
Speaker 9: you know, we were talking. You know, our goal was
Speaker 9: to go down there, score and win it, and that's
Speaker 9: exactly what we did. Started off hot with a great player,
Speaker 9: m Andre Hunter, had a great catch on third down,
Speaker 9: Pop got us down in the one yard line, and uh,
Speaker 9: then you know it will be you know, send in
Speaker 9: twelve personnel and you know, gave gave me a chance
Speaker 9: for for the game winner and Mac creck and Mac
Speaker 9: gave a great ball a line, gave him time and
Speaker 9: it was.
Speaker 11: It was.
Speaker 9: It was a great ending to a great day for us.
Speaker 9: But you know, we got a long road ahead of us.
Speaker 1: So Mike, as you're talking, we're running highlights of the
Speaker 1: of the game winning catch, and it looked like you
Speaker 1: did a really nice job of sort of knowing that
Speaker 1: Johnson's coming and keeping the ball a little bit up high.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously you have, you know, a pretty good
Speaker 1: height advantage there, but making sure that he wasn't going
Speaker 1: to get high enough to be able to knock the
Speaker 1: ball loose. Was that on your mind as you're bringing
Speaker 1: it in?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I think you know, I learned that
Speaker 9: way back, you know, when I know you know my
Speaker 9: size and you know where I can keep the ball.
Speaker 9: So I knew if I kind of just kept it
Speaker 9: away because you know, they're they're teaching him to, you know,
Speaker 9: play through the hands. So if I tried to tuck
Speaker 9: it right there, it would have give him a chance
Speaker 9: to make a play on it. So I just try
Speaker 9: to keep it away. Uh, you know, obvious to get
Speaker 9: two feet control of the ground and then uh get
Speaker 9: up and celebrate like an absolute moral Well, Mike.
Speaker 1: I don't deserve to today.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and seriously, for an offense that's been a little
Speaker 4: on the quiet side, you and several other guys on
Speaker 4: the offense today kicked that door open and said we're here.
Speaker 4: So congratulations, great win, great catch, and we really appreciate
Speaker 4: you taking the time. Thank you.
Speaker 9: Yeah, thank you, guys. I appreciate it all right.
Speaker 1: Thanks Mike.
Speaker 4: Mike is Sicky the hero.
Speaker 1: I'm that no one else is gonna want to talk
Speaker 1: to him, the man of the moment.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we're not gonna.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just it was nice to flip the script,
Speaker 1: you know, like like the way Mike said it, like
Speaker 1: you just like you see, like Hunter Henry. I just
Speaker 1: was watching as we were coming down Mike in the elevator.
Speaker 1: You know, they had Mac on the field. I think
Speaker 1: with Evan Washburn and Hunter, Henry comes running Up's got
Speaker 1: a big smile in his face. He's pounding Macy. Those guys,
Speaker 1: especially the guys on offense, have been under a lot
Speaker 1: of heat. And you know, for at least one day.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you know, like we I'm sure
Speaker 1: we're gonna spend like an hour talking about playoffs and stuff.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it means. I don't know, like
Speaker 1: I don't know that it means really anything other than
Speaker 1: an upset today. But for one day they could feel
Speaker 1: good about themselves. They had a lot of bounce, they
Speaker 1: had a lot of energy on the field. I thought
Speaker 1: they were the better team for the vast majority of
Speaker 1: the sixty minutes. It just shows you just the difference
Speaker 1: between the talent levels of some of these teams. That
Speaker 1: the other team can play like that and have the
Speaker 1: lead with less than two minutes left in the game.
Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you what, Paul, I don't think it
Speaker 4: changes things dramatically, But what.
Speaker 1: It don't think it does on this show. I think
Speaker 1: it will on others, okay, but.
Speaker 4: But you know, you know what it tells me this
Speaker 4: team is capable of going out there and winning games
Speaker 4: and putting together a good product down the field and
Speaker 4: keeping us engaged for what twelve eleven more games? Now, okay, good,
Speaker 4: I'll take that. That was That was a hell of
Speaker 4: a way to spend a Sunday watching that football team.
Speaker 1: It's a good game.
Speaker 4: Put together those drives, get those types of stops on defense.
Speaker 1: I'm fired up. There's a good game.
Speaker 5: I am two of you you talk about. You know,
Speaker 5: my kids, my wife came to this their first game,
Speaker 5: first Patriots game ever today and I was like, well,
Speaker 5: you know, we know how it's probably gonna go, guys, But.
Speaker 1: I mean, what a first game to go to a
Speaker 1: thrilling back and forth right down to the last play.
Speaker 4: Are they coming in the booth?
Speaker 1: No they're not. Actually, I think one of you guys
Speaker 1: won have to give it right home if you don't.
Speaker 4: Mind, Oh I could do that.
Speaker 5: No, they bolted, they bolted, but they were up. But
Speaker 5: they had an awesome time. And then I'm sure all
Speaker 5: all the Patriots fans did yet. You know, Rabel in
Speaker 5: the House GARNECKI again the good energy from Sley Hardy.
Speaker 1: I had a good feeling about this.
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: We'll go back to our good bad Yeah, you're getting
Speaker 1: red coaching. Yeah, coaching like to me, like so, there's
Speaker 1: been a lot of talking and I've been part of
Speaker 1: this too, where you know it's Belichick, the GM's got
Speaker 1: to replace. We got to replace the GM guy, but
Speaker 1: the coach we still want. And I have sort of said, like,
Speaker 1: when was the last time you felt like they came
Speaker 1: out with a game plan in the game that did
Speaker 1: anything to bother the other team? Well, there's an answer
Speaker 1: to that now.
Speaker 4: Today yep, October twenty second.
Speaker 1: Okay, today they had the Bills off balance throughout the
Speaker 1: first quarter of the game. They had him out a position,
Speaker 1: They had all kinds of motion going, whether it's Bill
Speaker 1: O'Brien and Bill just coaching and Jen was my first
Speaker 1: good I thought, Mike the ability to get some speed
Speaker 1: on the field early in the game with to Mario
Speaker 1: Douglas in, Taekwan Thornton and Jalen Rager, faster guys that
Speaker 1: put Buffalo in bad spots. And I thought that was,
Speaker 1: you know, a good deal of coaching to go along
Speaker 1: with that. I thought defensively they did a good job,
Speaker 1: not necessarily of getting a lot of sacks, because they didn't,
Speaker 1: but I thought they made Josh Allen move around a
Speaker 1: little bit quickly, like get him off the spot quickly
Speaker 1: and not let him just survey the field. So my
Speaker 1: first good today is the overall game plan and coaching
Speaker 1: of the Patriots.
Speaker 4: Boss man Fred Kursch just now into the studio. Had
Speaker 4: to eat a glazed donut.
Speaker 11: First half of one.
Speaker 4: I saw you eating a donut hot like the show
Speaker 4: has begun and some of us are here and some
Speaker 4: of us are eating donuts. But that's you know, when
Speaker 4: you're the boss, you can do whatever you want.
Speaker 11: And you're lucky.
Speaker 5: Here he's glowing, he's in the afterglow of a big
Speaker 5: Patriots You know, we're just all beside ourselves in here.
Speaker 11: What sully donut?
Speaker 4: Well, what a game? What a game to watch? You know?
Speaker 4: I have half a feeling, you know, deep down that
Speaker 4: had they not pulled it out, had they only kicked
Speaker 4: the field goal, ended up losing in overtime, I wouldn't
Speaker 4: feel much different. I'm telling you. That was That was
Speaker 4: a hell of a game to watch today. It's been
Speaker 4: a while since we had one of those.
Speaker 11: And it was great to finish the deal.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, you know there was some Patriots fans that
Speaker 1: probably feel like that would have been a better outcome. Well,
Speaker 1: well right right, the fake ones, Fred, not the ones
Speaker 1: that we want.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, we talked about the way they started,
Speaker 4: the way they finished. What what are you thinking about? First?
Speaker 4: When you reflect on this game which only ended moments ago.
Speaker 12: The first thing I thought about was just, you know,
Speaker 12: this team still has fight. They're still fighting. A lot
Speaker 12: of guys are hurt, you know, some aren't coming back,
Speaker 12: some might, but the guys that are out there are
Speaker 12: still fighting and it's good to see.
Speaker 4: It is all right. Well, what do you got for
Speaker 4: your first good over there? Dudes? Well, Paul went with coach.
Speaker 5: I know, well, I'm just gonna play the hits and
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with your brobe Peppers first. You know,
Speaker 5: first player of the game, get another interception or getting
Speaker 5: the interception, Well, you know, when he makes an interception,
Speaker 5: first throw the game off, Josh Allen, I got I
Speaker 5: gotta give him some credit, but you know, not quite sure.
Speaker 1: You know, how how we read it and what exactly happened.
Speaker 1: But you know, he continues to be a spark for
Speaker 1: this team.
Speaker 5: He was a spark last week, uh you know, forcing
Speaker 5: that that one interception, and then today just to start
Speaker 5: the game off like that, you know, and then to
Speaker 5: have the offense go go down and take a touchdown
Speaker 5: off of it. It's just it's complimentary football. It's everything
Speaker 5: you're you're looking for with both sides. I mean, like
Speaker 5: I said in the pregame, just get a good start,
Speaker 5: see where we're at. And you know, both sides had
Speaker 5: a good start, and you know it weren't sure if
Speaker 5: they're gonna be able to make it stand out, but
Speaker 5: ultimately they did and it put them on the right track.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I just chronologically the opening drive on offense and
Speaker 4: just the number and the different players that got involved,
Speaker 4: whether it was Thornton and Faroll Brown.
Speaker 1: Farl Brown's on the uplist too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I mean, I we probably have a
Speaker 5: few to do, but but he's really showing something. I
Speaker 5: mean too, you know, twenty plus yard plays. I mean,
Speaker 5: just for an offense that struggled to move the ball
Speaker 5: with big plays so much this year to suddenly, you know,
Speaker 5: and at one point, I'm looking out there and I'm saying,
Speaker 5: you know, talking to Evan and being like, oh, we
Speaker 5: decided to move Mike on when you to write tackle
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, I know, we'd try to get
Speaker 5: Pop Douglas more involved with some speed and you know,
Speaker 5: I trumpet rager really, but you know, just it just
Speaker 5: seemed like they finally made some moves that made sense
Speaker 5: to get speed on the field, to put some reliability
Speaker 5: at right tackle, to get out of you know, allowing
Speaker 5: Vederian low to to just be a turnstile over there,
Speaker 5: and you know, and so it's someways a little frustrating
Speaker 5: because it's.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, those are the answers, that's what we've been hoping.
Speaker 5: Like this feels like more like a reset and you know,
Speaker 5: good to get cold strength back in there too, so
Speaker 5: we'll see exactly what the pressure was and all that
Speaker 5: kind of stuff. But overall, I just I think they
Speaker 5: pushed the right buttons. You know, like Paul said, Fred.
Speaker 4: What do you got for your first good?
Speaker 12: I would say, you know, I love seeing Mike and
Speaker 12: when you at right tackle, you know, and at least
Speaker 12: for that first half, I thought the line was pretty solid.
Speaker 12: I thought that Mac at times uh rushed himself a
Speaker 12: little bit. You know, there was one play where he
Speaker 12: just absolutely panicked and ran right into pressure.
Speaker 11: When Stevenson had picked up the blitz.
Speaker 12: But I thought, you know, Mike, and when you and
Speaker 12: the line city sow next to him, I thought they
Speaker 12: played pretty well.
Speaker 11: So I was I was happy with that, with.
Speaker 4: The right tackle for his first After that, I just
Speaker 4: I have to make note of that. I can't believe that.
Speaker 4: I can't believe that just happened. But well, you know,
Speaker 4: Kevin Greg Bedard in here.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Paul, what do you got. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go specifically with Douglas. I thought to Mario, Douglas was
Speaker 1: really good in the game. I thought pretty much every
Speaker 1: time he had the ball in his hands, he made
Speaker 1: a guy miss. He broke not making guys miss, He
Speaker 1: broke tackles.
Speaker 12: And didn't he look just with his hands like a
Speaker 12: seasoned vet, ye like he like surehand making, Yeah, making
Speaker 12: catches that were hard, you know, tough catches.
Speaker 4: Yeah, great for him, I.
Speaker 1: Mean yeah, I thought, I just thought he was really good.
Speaker 1: Four for fifty four and cat and he had a
Speaker 1: run for twenty yards that he broke a tackle at
Speaker 1: the line of that broak a tackle at the line
Speaker 1: of Scrimma him one.
Speaker 11: I mean, you know, I thought rookie catch.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I thought he was really good. He
Speaker 1: was on my good list, and then this return to
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm putting him on my good list, and
Speaker 1: it's like not enough. Yeah, it's like we have to
Speaker 1: put him in the Hall of Fame, like right here,
Speaker 1: Like that's a one yard game. He breaks that tackle.
Speaker 1: That's like that movie that's twenty yards when you broke
Speaker 1: a tackle one yard downfield, right right, that's a tackle
Speaker 1: that has to be made, and he made it look
Speaker 1: easy and like it just breaks right through it.
Speaker 11: No one else up to this point had been doing that, right,
Speaker 11: That's the thing.
Speaker 4: And and defensively, I have to say, maybe we'll get
Speaker 4: to this on the bad list. It's the type of
Speaker 4: tackles that the Patriots did in this a number of
Speaker 4: times today, open field tackling. It's probably gonna end.
Speaker 1: Up on second half. Yeah, I don't think this was
Speaker 1: a great defensive.
Speaker 4: This is and this is you know a perfect example
Speaker 4: of how you view this from you know, two different lenses.
Speaker 4: Pop Douglas great looking and breaking that tackle over around
Speaker 4: Bill's radio right now, they're saying, you've got to tackle
Speaker 4: that guy.
Speaker 1: Right, you know, disarray all day. Yeah, Like that's why
Speaker 1: I put the coaching number one, because I have to
Speaker 1: think that some of that was by design, Like the
Speaker 1: Patriots game plan made it hard for them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, who else you got to?
Speaker 1: You got pop on there?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know I had I'm trying to pick which
Speaker 5: one first that let's let's go with ye Anthrety Jennings.
Speaker 1: And Dietrich Wise.
Speaker 5: I know Jennings had them split in the big tackle
Speaker 5: for loss there. You know, I just I think that
Speaker 5: they were part of, you know, like I said, a
Speaker 5: shorthanded defensive effort that you didn't really expect from. You know,
Speaker 5: these guys that Jonathan Jones has banged up.
Speaker 3: J C.
Speaker 1: Jackson's it's just been back a couple of weeks. He
Speaker 1: lost ouch.
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, we talked about the pass rush
Speaker 5: issues coming into this game, how concerning it could be.
Speaker 5: I just thought Dietrich, I mean, certainly those guys Wise
Speaker 5: had a couple of mistakes as well, but overall, I
Speaker 5: just think kind of speaks to the defensive front and
Speaker 5: how they powered out through this game.
Speaker 1: I'll let somebody else talk about Barmore.
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, definitely, he's definitely got to be on somebody's list.
Speaker 11: He's on mine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean put him on Okay.
Speaker 12: I mean, you know, the only bad play had was
Speaker 12: you know, driving Alan into the ground. But other than that,
Speaker 12: he was causing pressure all day. And he was a
Speaker 12: big part of Alan's problems today. You know, he had
Speaker 12: one sack, but he was it was a constant visitor
Speaker 12: to that batfield and got Alan off the mark. And
Speaker 12: I think that was such a big part of what
Speaker 12: they had to do today and they did it.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And I don't followed him or anyone else for not
Speaker 4: being able to sack Josh Allen Moore. He is unbelievable.
Speaker 4: Some of the escapes that he made today. I'm like,
Speaker 4: he's down, this play is dead, and he keeps him alive.
Speaker 4: But the pressure is the thing. And as long as
Speaker 4: the downfield coverage is good to prevent big, big gains
Speaker 4: on a lot of those evasive moves that Alan has,
Speaker 4: give him credit. Put him on the good list. What
Speaker 4: else you got, Paul?
Speaker 1: What else do I have? Just one of the things
Speaker 1: that I had mentioned when I with Douglas. He also
Speaker 1: had a really good punt return in this game, so
Speaker 1: I just added that to him. But I thought special
Speaker 1: teams in general today were pretty air tight. They had
Speaker 1: a couple of short kicks that they did. They covered
Speaker 1: one of them, they covered well, one of them not
Speaker 1: so much. But they had the good punt return by Douglas.
Speaker 1: I thought the best punt of the year for Bryce Behringer,
Speaker 1: sixty four yard punt that really flipped the field and
Speaker 1: would only a seven yard return too, So I thought
Speaker 1: he had another one was kind of meaningless at the
Speaker 1: end of the first half, but he downed one at
Speaker 1: the three. You get a shank there, and you know,
Speaker 1: let him start at the twenty, and who knows, maybe
Speaker 1: Buffalo decides they want to try to move the ball,
Speaker 1: but at the three with twenty twenty seconds left, I
Speaker 1: think clearly they're just gonna take a knee and go
Speaker 1: into the half. So I thought special teams had a
Speaker 1: nice little bounce back game. Yes, yes, right for.
Speaker 4: Individual players making individual plays and executing yes, I agree
Speaker 4: with you. But there was I think a delay a
Speaker 4: game on one punt, and there was they had ten
Speaker 4: guys on the field and had to scramble around.
Speaker 1: That's coaching.
Speaker 4: Well, okay, but that is that also falls under the
Speaker 4: umbrella of special teams. And you have correct one correct
Speaker 4: two coaches over there too, real. And I had the.
Speaker 1: Time out on the field goal, I mean time out
Speaker 1: sorry on the uh yeah, on the field goal when
Speaker 1: I had that is uh, that's bad. I'm going to
Speaker 1: separate them.
Speaker 4: Special teams players good, special teams coaching bad.
Speaker 11: Okay.
Speaker 1: But I also thought like they had a short kickoff
Speaker 1: that they ended up tackling them inside the the uh
Speaker 1: inside the twenty, and they made them go. Now, unfortunately
Speaker 1: the Bills went eighty one yards. That was to open
Speaker 1: the second half, I think, but they tackled him inside
Speaker 1: the uh yeah, inside the twenty. I think they tackled
Speaker 1: Aim at the eighteen. I'm sorry, I'm red zone. There's
Speaker 1: a fourth and goal play in. I believe, yes, Kareem.
Speaker 1: I just I just to win the game. I wanted
Speaker 1: to highlight with to put him ahead.
Speaker 5: What Fred said though about Ryland with that forty nine yarder,
Speaker 5: because it just felt like such a critical time and I,
Speaker 5: you know, I looked at him like this is nick
Speaker 5: Folk territory. These were the kicks that Nick Folk would
Speaker 5: make inside of fifty.
Speaker 4: Gotta have it, you know.
Speaker 1: I just thought it was kind of a nice moment
Speaker 1: momentum because they had a chance to, you know, sort
Speaker 1: of lose momentum by missing a field goal, and they
Speaker 1: had been playing well at that point but not really separating,
Speaker 1: and that I think that restored the two score lead. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought I thought Ryland. Adding Ryland to that special
Speaker 1: teams thing was was I think very relevant. He was,
Speaker 1: he had he had big moments.
Speaker 4: All right. What else we got?
Speaker 12: I got about Bill Belichick winning his three hundredth game
Speaker 12: on a day that it was announced he had a
Speaker 12: multi year lucrative contract. To put a little context to it.
Speaker 1: Good day to be Bill. Yeah, this isn't This isn't
Speaker 1: the Patriots notebook. This is the good bad knee injury
Speaker 1: three hundred and My first good of the day was
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Let me yeah, right, My wrong, My wrong, guy, my wrong.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna put can I put you one Bentley on
Speaker 5: there for that fourth down? He got in there physically
Speaker 5: and broke that play up. I mean that was that
Speaker 5: was a key play too sure with the defense kind
Speaker 5: of reeling a little bit, you know, it's just you know,
Speaker 5: I'm sure everybody kind of felt the same at that point.
Speaker 1: It just felt like, all right, here we go.
Speaker 5: Even when they came out in the second half and
Speaker 5: just kind of went right down the field and all right,
Speaker 5: now they're going to decide to play. But huge play
Speaker 5: by Bentley just to get in there, get in there fast,
Speaker 5: got his helmet in there as.
Speaker 1: You can see get them. This is just me getting
Speaker 1: a closer look at it.
Speaker 5: But but yeah, good, good, good, huge play right there
Speaker 5: by Bentley the fourth.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I have to go back and check. There
Speaker 4: was the first big reception that the Bills had. It
Speaker 4: may have been to I'd have to go back and check.
Speaker 4: But Bentley was in coverage and he got he got stuck.
Speaker 4: It was a mismatch and you could see it.
Speaker 1: We're talking about Yeah.
Speaker 4: And I don't know who he was on, but he
Speaker 4: shouldn't have been on the line. And it was like, okay, so.
Speaker 1: That was I found the man. Yeah, that was a
Speaker 1: good play, the fourth down play that that Mike is
Speaker 1: talking about. You know, another one if we're doing the
Speaker 1: Bills wrap up here, that's a bad drop by Dawson Knox,
Speaker 1: which it was, but without Bentley there. He probably doesn't
Speaker 1: drop it, so to me, it's a good defensive play,
Speaker 1: all right. I also had Farroh Brown. I had Brown
Speaker 1: on there too, two catches and they were both huge.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's been a little bit of a spark, unexpected
Speaker 5: guy that was available. Bill bill O Brian had him
Speaker 5: in Houston, and you know, I mean just just seems
Speaker 5: to get lost a little bit, you know they I
Speaker 5: think people kind of maybe underestimate him, look at him
Speaker 5: as a blocking tight end, but he's been moving.
Speaker 11: Up the pyramid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's productive, contributing.
Speaker 4: Okay, I think we got all the goods singled out.
Speaker 4: You want to focus in on the bads here for
Speaker 4: a moment, Paul.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I have a lot of different things
Speaker 1: sort of written down, but they weren't as big of
Speaker 1: impact as the goods were, if that makes sense. I
Speaker 1: thought it was much more good today. I didn't like
Speaker 1: the play calling at the end of what I thought
Speaker 1: was a wonderfully career to first drive. You know, you
Speaker 1: get down there, you're in field goal range and it's
Speaker 1: like third and five and we're running an our po
Speaker 1: and I think Zeke got stuffed for like two yards,
Speaker 1: like I just thought it was sort of uninspired. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, we're playing what was the lead that important
Speaker 1: that we got to make sure we don't do anything
Speaker 1: stupid here and lose the field goal. So I didn't
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, you know, coming coming down in the
Speaker 1: first drive, which I thought otherwise was as creative and
Speaker 1: entertaining a first drive as they've had all year. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Kendrick Bourne, I mean, he just you can't fumble.
Speaker 5: I mean, that's just I mean, if they had lost
Speaker 5: this game, that would have been what we're all talking about,
Speaker 5: and you know.
Speaker 4: It takes away what was a productive day.
Speaker 5: I wanted to put him up on the uplist, but
Speaker 5: that's just too much of an egregious mistake that just
Speaker 5: they cannot happen in that situation where you're cleaning to
Speaker 5: a lead, the momentum is on Buffalo's side, and now's
Speaker 5: the time we decide to.
Speaker 1: Let the turnovers you know, creep back in.
Speaker 13: You know.
Speaker 5: I like Born, I like how he's been playing lately.
Speaker 5: Hopefully he can shake this off and luckily the team
Speaker 5: came through for him so that he's not sitting in
Speaker 5: his locker right now, you know, thinking it's all his
Speaker 5: fault that that he gave the ball the game back
Speaker 5: to Buffalo. But it's just it cannot happen. It cannot happen,
Speaker 5: and and everything. You know, It's like throughout this game,
Speaker 5: I felt like there were elements of, yeah, this is
Speaker 5: bad Patriots a little bit, you know, steking their heads
Speaker 5: up a little bit. They didn't do enough to lose
Speaker 5: the game, but like plays like that remind you that, like,
Speaker 5: this is still a team that has a lot of
Speaker 5: work to do to get to that point where they're
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 1: Really fireing all cylinders. Yeah, well, to me with this
Speaker 1: playes really showed and I was going to say it
Speaker 1: to Freddy, but I just felt it there was so
Speaker 1: much time still left. Well, it just it just showed
Speaker 1: you a the difference in talent, which I said earlier,
Speaker 1: but just the margin forever they in order to be
Speaker 1: a team like Buffalo, which I think is completely reeling
Speaker 1: right now, they had to play almost flawlessly and they
Speaker 1: get down to the last whatever five minutes of the
Speaker 1: game and they get a ball punched loose, and before
Speaker 1: you know it, they're inside the two minute warning. Trey, yep, Like,
Speaker 1: did you ever think Buffalo was the better team today.
Speaker 1: I didn't. No, I did not think Buffalo was ever
Speaker 1: the better team capable with one fifty eight left, the
Speaker 1: other team has more points, and it just shows you
Speaker 1: how well they have to play to compete with these teams. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they need the other team to be completely like Buffalo
Speaker 1: was today just to just to compete.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you're and you're right, Paul, because I think
Speaker 5: we all realized like this wasn't the usual Josh Allen
Speaker 5: were used to.
Speaker 1: That just makes these impossible micros on the run where.
Speaker 5: You're like today, you know, usually those are dead on.
Speaker 5: There were probably I don't know three or four of
Speaker 5: them that just felt.
Speaker 1: Like I'm the Josh Allen apologist. Everybody said, well, that's
Speaker 1: what he is. Yeah, I didn't, and he was. He
Speaker 1: was not good in this game today. I'm good at all.
Speaker 4: Just one bad that I had that I saw periodically
Speaker 4: throughout the game. I'm not a huge fan of the
Speaker 4: routes that are run that stop right before the chains,
Speaker 4: especially if your receivers are inclined to uh get the
Speaker 4: ball and drop down right away. I mean, there was
Speaker 4: so many fun they could have had so many more
Speaker 4: first down, so much easier if I don't know, routes
Speaker 4: are maybe run just a tiny bit more, or there's
Speaker 4: an ability to get a yard after the catch. There
Speaker 4: were just so many of those today. I'm like, oh
Speaker 4: my god, and I look it's I know they're doing
Speaker 4: it for a reason. They're doing it that where that's
Speaker 4: where they're going to be open, and that's where Mac has,
Speaker 4: you know, the window to throw it into. But it
Speaker 4: just seemed to happen with too much frequency today. And
Speaker 4: it's a nice problem to have after a win, saying, oh,
Speaker 4: you wish I you know, would have had some of
Speaker 4: those first downs one play earlier, but you could have
Speaker 4: several times and that that kind of bugged me. But
Speaker 4: that's just kind of a general bad what about you, Fred?
Speaker 11: Has Mac been mentioned yet?
Speaker 4: I mean we sung his praises at the beginning. I
Speaker 4: mean I a.
Speaker 1: Great, great moment for Mac. Great moments and what we do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we did have him. I don't think he had a
Speaker 1: great game. Yeah he was great when he had to be.
Speaker 1: And if he wasn't bad by any means, No, if
Speaker 1: he's going to be on.
Speaker 4: A list, I'll put him on the good list. But
Speaker 4: the god players definitely on the good li twenty five
Speaker 4: to thirty two touchdowns, no pick.
Speaker 1: I just think that some of the field goals they
Speaker 1: had to were like sort of some I think that
Speaker 1: RPO was on him, Yeah, as the one that I'm talking,
Speaker 1: but this was this was Max's day, big day for Mac.
Speaker 4: Well, one of the one of the things that you know,
Speaker 4: kind of buged me to And again it's more of
Speaker 4: a general thing. You know, you're up ten to three,
Speaker 4: and it happened I think twice. When you get down
Speaker 4: there on the first drive. You know, you're throwing the ball,
Speaker 4: you're mixing up the plays, and then you run at
Speaker 4: a couple of plays in a row and you take
Speaker 4: your foot off the gas and you settle for a
Speaker 4: field goal. And it happened again after they scored the
Speaker 4: first touchdown and they have to you know, you're still
Speaker 4: up thirteen to three. I get it, it's fine, but
Speaker 4: some of those plays, I don't know if it's Mac,
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's the play calling. I don't
Speaker 4: know exactly what's going on. But there were times at
Speaker 4: the end of drives when they would get either into
Speaker 4: the red zone or just outside of it, where they
Speaker 4: would just the pressure would come off and they weren't able.
Speaker 1: Tod mentioned one of those that he sort of like
Speaker 1: created pressure by himself and ran into a sack. There
Speaker 1: was a play I think at the end of I
Speaker 1: think the two minute drive at the end of the
Speaker 1: first half, that he let the ball slip out of
Speaker 1: his hands and caused the incompletion. So like that's why
Speaker 1: I don't think it was a perfect game. I don't
Speaker 1: think he played great. But the throw to Hunter Henry
Speaker 1: on third I think it was third and nine was great,
Speaker 1: not an easy throw, was a great throw. And you know,
Speaker 1: I thought that the throw on second down or might
Speaker 1: have been first down, that he tried to throw it
Speaker 1: and it went over the top. The pop it Douglas, Okay,
Speaker 1: So that one I thought was like, I'm afraid to
Speaker 1: try to stick it in there now the next one
Speaker 1: half earlier, you got him on the slant.
Speaker 4: It wasn't afraid on.
Speaker 1: The next one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I was about to put red zone offense
Speaker 5: on the down list, but I mean with the last
Speaker 5: two touchdowns, I couldn't couldn't do it. But I think
Speaker 5: early on that was headed towards on the down list,
Speaker 5: and it felt like that's gonna be why they're gonna lose.
Speaker 1: They can't because even the second to last touchdown was
Speaker 1: greatly penalty aided because they were about to get stopped
Speaker 1: on that red zone trip too. But yeah, this was
Speaker 1: a big day for Mac though. Like Fred, I don't
Speaker 1: know if you saw this. Mike and I were coming
Speaker 1: down and it looked like Mack was doing an on
Speaker 1: field interview maybe with Evan Washburn, and then Hunter Henry
Speaker 1: comes over and he's like banging him on the chest,
Speaker 1: and I just like the look on their faces like
Speaker 1: they they've been through a lot. Yeah, this was a
Speaker 1: big day for Mac Jones. He deserves his props today.
Speaker 4: Yep, what else he got there?
Speaker 5: One more it's kind of along the lines of the
Speaker 5: Kendrick Borne, the Kyle Dugar miss tackle on third down.
Speaker 5: It was third and fifteen, they pick up seventeen yards,
Speaker 5: Kyle Dougart had him bad one. It's just you know,
Speaker 5: these are I mean, the individual plays, but there's a
Speaker 5: chance to really close this game out and you know,
Speaker 5: point to Bourne's fumbled, point to this one giving him
Speaker 5: a new new set of downs, new set of life.
Speaker 5: You know, just you just need less of those kind
Speaker 5: of momentary mistakes there are quite a.
Speaker 12: Few of those, overrunning whoever had the ball, just you know,
Speaker 12: instead of just setting your foundation, you know how they
Speaker 12: tell you to square up and all that, that was
Speaker 12: just you know.
Speaker 11: Trying to make the big hit, overrunning the player.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are a couple of those defensive penalties, you know,
Speaker 1: you had, like the bar More rough in the pass
Speaker 1: or the Jack Jones roughing the pass, completely completely unnecessary penalties.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of holding in the secondary like
Speaker 1: they were. I mean, I know that Buffalo's good. Buffalo's
Speaker 1: good offense, even though they're not playing really good right now,
Speaker 1: they are a good offense, and they were clutching and
Speaker 1: grabbing and holding, doing whatever they could to sort of
Speaker 1: keep it. And the other part of the penalties that
Speaker 1: to me is less excusable. We're running the screen, you
Speaker 1: can't run downfield. They were very fortunate that they picked
Speaker 1: the second one up. That they don't pick the second
Speaker 1: one up, they might not even getting field goals.
Speaker 12: That non penalty was probably one of the big plays
Speaker 12: of the game.
Speaker 1: As soon as he snapped the ball, he ran five
Speaker 1: yards down for trying to get that field Now, the
Speaker 1: throw was immediate, and I think that's why they picked
Speaker 1: it up and listen. I don't know why that's a rule,
Speaker 1: but it's a rule they've been calling a lot and
Speaker 1: they call it like on those screens. I've seen a
Speaker 1: lot of games with those penalties.
Speaker 11: Why do they have ineligible man?
Speaker 1: Because they don't because if you see the I think
Speaker 1: you're the TPO stuff. And if a defense, if you're
Speaker 1: a defensive player and an offensive lineman goes downfield like
Speaker 1: you know, it's a run play. So but I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that's why I'm not telling you how
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you.
Speaker 11: I've never I.
Speaker 1: Didn't make the rules. Why is there four downs? I
Speaker 1: don't make the rules.
Speaker 4: I don't want to take away the element of surprise for.
Speaker 12: The I've never got a good explanation why that rule.
Speaker 5: I mean, I do think some I don't know, with
Speaker 5: the rise of r pos and the ability, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean, because the offensive line kind of have
Speaker 5: to play the middle of that of r PO plays,
Speaker 5: you know, before they get.
Speaker 11: Down to rule.
Speaker 4: It's like, no, I know.
Speaker 5: I think it's more as more teams have done that,
Speaker 5: they're saying we got to make sure on these RPOs
Speaker 5: that they're.
Speaker 12: Maybe why they're calling it, but it's always been on
Speaker 12: the books and I'm wondering, like, you know, what was
Speaker 12: this rule is put in the books to combat something,
Speaker 12: you know, some whether it's.
Speaker 5: Holding or and what are they trying to well, not
Speaker 5: letting these RPO teams because defenses.
Speaker 1: Defenses have the guys that are eligible receivers, the five
Speaker 1: eligible receivers to cover and by adding more downfield that is,
Speaker 1: but they can't catch the ball, right, But how do
Speaker 1: you make that determination immediately? Like That's what I think
Speaker 1: it's about. That's why I think it's a.
Speaker 4: Rule like that. I don't know my last bad and
Speaker 4: I mentioned it briefly earlier. I want to call any
Speaker 4: timeouts before the end of the first half. Last Patriots
Speaker 4: possession clock is burning. Yeah, a little clunky you're running
Speaker 4: plays or going into run plays. There's just bad clock management.
Speaker 4: Max seemed to be unaware at times of what the
Speaker 4: play clock was at and just you know.
Speaker 1: The delay of games at the end. As you mentioned earlier,
Speaker 1: they were very fortunate they let the first one go
Speaker 1: on third and one, but.
Speaker 4: They had three timeouts and they you know, the clock
Speaker 4: was dwindling and they they could have put themselves in
Speaker 4: a position to u take away the Bill's ability to
Speaker 4: you know, have the set up for the double score
Speaker 4: and all that. It's just it seemed like just a
Speaker 4: lack of focus a little bit, either from the coaching
Speaker 4: or I don't know what it is that.
Speaker 12: A lot of you know, pre snap calls and he
Speaker 12: was just taking too long to do it.
Speaker 4: And sometimes not identifying things that would have been helpful. Again, overall,
Speaker 4: a good day from ACT, an important day from AC
Speaker 4: is what Paul said. It was to inspire some confidence
Speaker 4: from him, for himself, from his teammates, all of it.
Speaker 1: I would also say a potentially really damaging inability to
Speaker 1: get the two point conversion. You get two penalties, not one,
Speaker 1: two penalties on Buffalo to give you three tries to
Speaker 1: get to get a two point conversion and you fail
Speaker 1: on all threat play.
Speaker 4: So and two running backs on the field when you
Speaker 4: do it.
Speaker 1: That allowed you, Yeah, because I mean you it doesn't
Speaker 1: a math major. If they get the two, it's twenty four.
Speaker 1: The Bills just kicked the extra point to make it
Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty four at the end, instead of
Speaker 1: going for two and getting the twenty five. You need
Speaker 1: to get that that two point conversion. Yeah, and I've
Speaker 1: had enough of the mac Jones quarterback sneak.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm all set with the injured.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Jennings seemed like a stinger, came back in, Trent
Speaker 5: Brown went out, came back in, he went to the tent. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's something obviously. Trent Brown is very valuable to this team.
Speaker 5: And then even Vederian Low who came in for him,
Speaker 5: had an injury as well, so certainly for him something
Speaker 5: to watch going forward. Tackle health, but not not much,
Speaker 5: especially on the left side.
Speaker 1: It could get dicey if Trent Kinko, all right, one
Speaker 1: last good before we move on. Paul went six and
Speaker 1: oh and over unders Hey, she's you should see how
Speaker 1: bad I'm doing in picks on pu.
Speaker 11: Oh, God, me too. I think everybody can.
Speaker 1: Be embarrassing embarrassing.
Speaker 4: After my Michigan State plus twenty five and a half
Speaker 4: last night, I kind of stopped paying attention.
Speaker 12: I may have also, what's with your Michigan State putting
Speaker 12: trivia questions about Hitler on the big.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what your measures and sting these things.
Speaker 4: I fully admit that there they are bad people, and
Speaker 4: they're idiots, and they're some of those Michigan State, people,
Speaker 4: I will readily admit, are the worst combination in human
Speaker 4: beings of being both mean and dumb.
Speaker 11: Wow.
Speaker 4: So there you go. It's okay, tough combat. All right,
Speaker 4: there's your answer. Let's go to the phones. Eight five five,
Speaker 4: Pats five hundred, web radio at Patriots dot com if
Speaker 4: you want to email us. Christian in LA, you're up first.
Speaker 4: What's up, Christian? And Christian couldn't hold on long distance,
Speaker 4: long distance with the TIA. Oh my god, he's just
Speaker 4: it's expensive. Patty, cousin, Patty and agu on.
Speaker 1: What's Updy?
Speaker 14: There's still a champ.
Speaker 1: It's still in play, Patty, Just so you know, Freddy.
Speaker 1: As soon as the the final gun sound he looked
Speaker 1: at me and said, twelve and five.
Speaker 14: I'll tell you what, man, I'm you know, I was
Speaker 14: all for moving on from Belichick. I'm not.
Speaker 15: I'm not gonna waiver.
Speaker 4: Come on.
Speaker 14: I always love to seeing my team win, especially against
Speaker 14: these guys. Love how it happened. A couple of things
Speaker 14: real quick. I thought, you know, I'm not Evan, but
Speaker 14: just just from watching the game. But it also looks
Speaker 14: like teacher Twise had a had a great game. Like
Speaker 14: every pressure that they got on him. Every time they
Speaker 14: moved Josh Allen off the spot, he seemed to be
Speaker 14: in the mix. And why the hell didn't they put
Speaker 14: big Mic out at right tackle earlier. That's that's all I.
Speaker 1: Got probably health wise. Yeah, my guess.
Speaker 5: Still though, it's like, man, you know, I just was
Speaker 5: looking down there and it's like, oh my gosh, we've
Speaker 5: got Douglas and Born and like, this looks like an
Speaker 5: offense that can actually run a little bit.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be the turd the punch bowl,
Speaker 1: but you know that I often come off that way.
Speaker 1: I'll try not to, can I just say, like, when
Speaker 1: you're winning the game the whole way, the other team's
Speaker 1: pressure isn't a huge problem. The offensive line probably didn't
Speaker 1: do any more today than they've done in every other game,
Speaker 1: except for you will win it. You're winning the whole
Speaker 1: game and the other team can't tee off. They weren't
Speaker 1: behind by two scores like they are every other game,
Speaker 1: and that's the difference. Like it got out to a lead,
Speaker 1: that's the difference. Mike had the key at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the game, like a score, make a stop and
Speaker 1: then see if.
Speaker 11: You can see what happens.
Speaker 1: Let's just let's see play a different way.
Speaker 4: Let's see how they playing.
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, I said it to you guys. It
Speaker 1: was thirteen to three. I said, this is this is
Speaker 1: the way the Patriots win. They're gonna make Buffalo chase
Speaker 1: them the whole game. This is the what the formula
Speaker 1: for Buffalo? I mean for the Patriots to win Buffalo
Speaker 1: window closing closing. In all seriousness, if they don't get
Speaker 1: some players back, they're going to be in trouble because
Speaker 1: that's a very average team as constituted right now, according
Speaker 1: to the stick.
Speaker 4: With Miami Steve Tasker tools in the pregame window was off.
Speaker 4: The window was still wide open, So I don't know. Hey,
Speaker 4: pat thanks for the call, buddy.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, we'll.
Speaker 4: See uh Brandon in Atlanta joining us now Patriots post game.
Speaker 4: This episode presented by DraftKings. What's up, Brandon?
Speaker 10: Hey?
Speaker 15: Everybody out?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: Doing excellent?
Speaker 16: All right?
Speaker 15: So yeah, I'm definitely gonna enjoy this win. I mean,
Speaker 15: it's great to have another big Thory Monday to come
Speaker 15: in through and far between recently. But I won't harp
Speaker 15: on the issues in the fourth core or anything. And
Speaker 15: I'm very happy Bill was extended.
Speaker 10: I do feel like.
Speaker 15: You need, you know, a little kicking in nashell foot
Speaker 15: and not playing props as much, because clearly he was
Speaker 15: very helpful today and did a lot of things that
Speaker 15: we you know, other than the concussion he suffered and
Speaker 15: didn't play in that one game. It's like we knew,
Speaker 15: fans knew, like we need him on the field more.
Speaker 15: But I just wanted to know. I guess your all opinion,
Speaker 15: does this win if we can stay consistent with the
Speaker 15: offensive line the way it was today and Pop helping
Speaker 15: us other than the fumble, KB playing up to his
Speaker 15: level of you know that he should. Should we feel
Speaker 15: more confident about like you know, Commanders and the Colts
Speaker 15: and and maybe even the second Jets game and you
Speaker 15: know who got the Broncos down the way because last
Speaker 15: week and the weeks before that, I didn't think we
Speaker 15: could beat anybody, And now I feel kind of better
Speaker 15: about the Commanders and the Giants and teams of that nature.
Speaker 12: Well, certainly you should go into every game with hope,
Speaker 12: you know. But you know, as Paul said, and it's true,
Speaker 12: the Bills didn't play well, you know, and that's good
Speaker 12: because the Patriots made some mistakes too, But I do
Speaker 12: think penalties.
Speaker 1: I do think the Patriots played well. I just want
Speaker 1: to make that.
Speaker 4: Played well.
Speaker 12: They played well enough, but there were a lot of
Speaker 12: penalties that you know, you know, in other games would
Speaker 12: have shot them in the foot and installed drives, but
Speaker 12: they overcame them today.
Speaker 11: The fumble by Born.
Speaker 12: Was huge, but they overcame it, you know, and they
Speaker 12: finally got to turnover earth, you know for them, which
Speaker 12: was which was great.
Speaker 5: It's like, on one hand, I still need to see
Speaker 5: them take their way out of a bad start, like
Speaker 5: I still think that exists. But on the other hand,
Speaker 5: you know, seeing them be able to drive the ball
Speaker 5: to the end of the game, you know, it was
Speaker 5: backs against the wall. Need to drive that, you know,
Speaker 5: probably the most encouraging thing, just to you know, build
Speaker 5: some confidence like we're not we're down, but you know.
Speaker 1: We have the ability to come back. They've done it.
Speaker 5: Now they can you know, maybe believe in themselves if
Speaker 5: they do get off to a slow start again. But
Speaker 5: I think is a long way to go and a
Speaker 5: lot this team still has to prove, especially when they're
Speaker 5: stacked up against it and you know, having to reverse
Speaker 5: those those trends during a game when they're when they're
Speaker 5: losing and things aren't going right, how do you stop it?
Speaker 5: He put points on the board.
Speaker 11: I mean, let's fake. They had to leave for fifty
Speaker 11: eight minutes.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, And I really do. I think that's the
Speaker 1: difference in the in the offensive line, Like look at
Speaker 1: the last play to Hunter Henry. How close Like if
Speaker 1: you're just like, if you're in that situation all game
Speaker 1: where you're throwing like that every play, do you think
Speaker 1: one or two of those are going to result in
Speaker 1: sacks up?
Speaker 11: Absolutely?
Speaker 1: No, That's that's the difference. It's a totally different game.
Speaker 5: And you know it's I mean, in some ways, it's like, hey,
Speaker 5: we kind of knew this, Like this is traditionally a
Speaker 5: team when they get a good start, and you know, granted,
Speaker 5: give them credit.
Speaker 1: This was not a backup quarterback. You know, this was
Speaker 1: not Patriots played better. The Patriots won today because they
Speaker 1: were better today.
Speaker 5: So just make sure we give them credit for breaking
Speaker 5: all those trends that we've hammered them for for the
Speaker 5: last couple of years.
Speaker 1: And that's the only reason why I jumped in, because
Speaker 1: I know how that works. Spread When you said, like
Speaker 1: Paul said Buffalo didn't play well. Well, Parilo just says
Speaker 1: that the other team lost. That's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: The Patriots won today. No, they didn't win because Buffalo lost.
Speaker 1: They won because the Patriots were better. No one.
Speaker 4: When no one's here to play, gotcha.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no one, and you're not here on you're
Speaker 1: not here on Tuesday, on Tuesday, that's going to be.
Speaker 1: The impression is that Paul didn't give any credit to
Speaker 1: the Patriots. It was all about Buffalo.
Speaker 4: Nope, well they're really.
Speaker 1: Patriots played better than Buffalo today for sixty minutes, just
Speaker 1: like the Giants played better than Buffalo last week for
Speaker 1: sixty minutes and the Giants still lost. The Patriots were
Speaker 1: better than the Giants. That's what they won.
Speaker 4: Brandon, thanks for the call.
Speaker 1: That wrong, appreciate it.
Speaker 11: That's right, got it, got it right.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to get you in trouble for something
Speaker 4: that you haven't done.
Speaker 1: Oh no no, But I'm just telling you what to
Speaker 1: Fred's been around for a lot of Tuesdays, a lot
Speaker 1: of Tuesday therapy sessions where you know, we don't do
Speaker 1: it right, we don't. There's a way, like you have
Speaker 1: to say that they didn't just win, they took the
Speaker 1: other teams like manhood. At the same time, Well, like
Speaker 1: I was, you're not giving them proper credit.
Speaker 4: You seem to jump all over Fred for trying to
Speaker 4: congratulate Bill on his three hundredth pain. No, I did not,
Speaker 4: you did. You said, this isn't the notes, This is.
Speaker 1: Not the notebook.
Speaker 4: Okay, stop talking about well Joe in New York City
Speaker 4: echoes what Fred had to say. He said, congratulations to
Speaker 4: Bill on his three hundredth This game was a great
Speaker 4: reminder of Bill's coaching prowess. Pats were overmatched from a
Speaker 4: talent standpoint and found a way to win a solid
Speaker 4: game today. They were and focused player execution. The team
Speaker 4: showed a lot of fight. Also, congrats to Mac for
Speaker 4: leading his first last minute come back. Hopefully this performance
Speaker 4: gives him confidence going forward. He looks like a different
Speaker 4: player today.
Speaker 11: Yeah, he got a little ding up in this game.
Speaker 4: By the way, see that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw a lot of gesturing, well waving.
Speaker 11: He was shaking off his knee. Oh really one point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, knee injury. Yeah something.
Speaker 5: Just for those curious, I did make a note second
Speaker 5: quarter ten oh two, Paul gave the nod.
Speaker 1: I did give the nod today very early.
Speaker 4: Did you feel second quarter?
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, when Born fumbled, I was like, I.
Speaker 4: Gave the nod.
Speaker 1: Kendrick, come on. It's just another example of how times
Speaker 1: have changed, because in the past that would be a
Speaker 1: false nod.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in the past.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because when I gave the nod in the past.
Speaker 1: Fred will tell you the game was never in question
Speaker 1: the rest of the way, and the game was very
Speaker 1: much in question. Neil in eighteen seconds.
Speaker 4: Left right Neil and the UK said, I think Mac
Speaker 4: answered a lot of critics today, including you guys. I've
Speaker 4: been saying all seasons, stick Mahomes, Burrows, et cetera behind
Speaker 4: that O line and see what they look like. I
Speaker 4: think Mac is.
Speaker 1: The sort of put sixty on the boards.
Speaker 4: I think Mac is the best option going forward, and
Speaker 4: bringing in a GM who can surround him with legit
Speaker 4: weapons and protection has to be the focus.
Speaker 5: I mean, I know about that, but I'm actually, I mean,
Speaker 5: I'm I'm definitely still in the camp of, you know,
Speaker 5: not any other quarterback but Mac, like I.
Speaker 1: Think on this team, yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, I just I don't think there's any other
Speaker 5: any other option out there right now. And I mean,
Speaker 5: I wouldn't think it's crazy if they continue to try
Speaker 5: to build around him next year too.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. We'll see about the g I
Speaker 1: me know what my options are. I'll tell you if
Speaker 1: I think it's crazy.
Speaker 4: Cam is in taunted and he's on the Patriots post game.
Speaker 4: This episode brought to you by DraftKings. What's up? Cam?
Speaker 13: Hey, guys, had a quick question about Farah Brown. You
Speaker 13: guys think we found a little FuMB here. I feel
Speaker 13: like it's a little more productive than the STICKI ben obviously,
Speaker 13: you know, two catches to day, but I feel like
Speaker 13: he's produced more oftensive highlights this entire season than most.
Speaker 14: Of our players.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a couple of catchup.
Speaker 1: He earned a spot on our good list. I thought
Speaker 1: he was a big part of it, you know. I
Speaker 1: know it was only two, but no big plays. I
Speaker 1: agree plays.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I mean for a while, you have the
Speaker 4: un you know, fortunate distinction of being the only Patriots
Speaker 4: touchdown score for hand of the game.
Speaker 1: It's two catches, so you could just say it's two,
Speaker 1: it's fifty one yards. It was a big place, ye, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, twenty six and twenty five tough to tell.
Speaker 5: How his blocking was too, but I'm sure he's you know,
Speaker 5: contributing there too.
Speaker 4: All right, thanks, Cam, appreciate it. Another email here, this
Speaker 4: one from uh Stefan and Germany. Going into the game
Speaker 4: without any hope, then allowing myself to hope against all odds.
Speaker 4: I'm high on adrenaline right now. But is this win
Speaker 4: the turning point for Mac and the Pats or is
Speaker 4: it only damaging the chances of getting the number one
Speaker 4: draft pick in twenty twenty four. I'd torn, but for
Speaker 4: now I want to celebrate.
Speaker 5: I just never really like thought that they would they're
Speaker 5: going to be in position to have a.
Speaker 1: Top three pick, Like I just I don't know.
Speaker 4: I never thought that.
Speaker 1: I don't think they can get to that point. I
Speaker 1: don't understand why people don't think that that's a possibility.
Speaker 1: I really don't a top three pick. Yeah, Like, I
Speaker 1: don't know why you don't think you can win four
Speaker 1: or five games, because I get you in line for that.
Speaker 4: Because I I think, like most teams, you were going
Speaker 4: to at some point beat a team that was better
Speaker 4: than you. And I know that, you know, talent wise,
Speaker 4: the Bills are you know, suffering injuries, But I still
Speaker 4: got Josh Allen and dogs and yeah, whatever the bill
Speaker 4: should be if if this was such an obvious it wasn't.
Speaker 4: I was picking the bills today, so I thought.
Speaker 1: The Patriots were going to pick. You picked the Patriots,
Speaker 1: I did, and Fred picked took the points.
Speaker 11: I took the points I took.
Speaker 4: I had a money line bet that I cashed out
Speaker 4: after the fumble. It was unfortunate, cost myself a lot
Speaker 4: of money.
Speaker 11: Sorry.
Speaker 4: Sorry, It's not that I would never do that, just
Speaker 4: you know, friendly wager with a friend of mine. The
Speaker 4: thing that Stefan also says, and you mentioned it earlier,
Speaker 4: the refs were too visible during the game.
Speaker 1: Rest was terrible.
Speaker 4: Games are best when only a well, okay, only a
Speaker 4: few penalties are called. I agree.
Speaker 1: Oh I don't agree with that. I just think some
Speaker 1: of the ticky tack ones like you can let go okay.
Speaker 4: If they're missing, if they're missing blown calls and teams
Speaker 4: are playing clean. I agree, the fewer the penalty is
Speaker 4: the better the game.
Speaker 1: But like you know, at the end of the like
Speaker 1: I think people were upset, like J. C. Jackson got
Speaker 1: call for a penalty early in the game, and then
Speaker 1: I think who was the call for an illegal contact
Speaker 1: for the Bills. I think it was Taron Johnson. Maybe
Speaker 1: they were terrible calls. It's just both of them terrible.
Speaker 1: Jackson's okay, Jackson's this right here. I think the second
Speaker 1: hit might be what but that's a ticky tag call.
Speaker 1: It is, okay at the end of the game, when
Speaker 1: they're grabbing his shirt as he's crossing the back line
Speaker 1: of the end zone, he's got He's got Gabe Davis's shirt.
Speaker 4: The whole way.
Speaker 1: You got to call that, you like, like, I personally like,
Speaker 1: that's got to get called. You go off side, you get.
Speaker 1: I mean, but there there were you know what, there's
Speaker 1: but like the pat like the delay of games. Why
Speaker 1: the different delay of games? Why you know why when
Speaker 1: one team gets a delay game, isn't a delay a
Speaker 1: game and the other team gets it? I mean, that's
Speaker 1: a penalty.
Speaker 4: And there are other there are other false starts that
Speaker 4: just get ignored. There.
Speaker 1: I just think there was too inconsistent. That's perfect way
Speaker 1: to put Yeah, so whatever, back to wise, one illegal
Speaker 1: man downfield on a screen and the others not.
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know, ya, I want to
Speaker 4: break right now. Okay, we'll step side here for a moment,

Speaker 4: a factor of four times longer than he has in
Speaker 4: the last two games. What's the difference. I don't know
Speaker 4: what's going on.
Speaker 1: Did you do any Dante's car. I cant impression this
Speaker 1: in this.
Speaker 4: That'd be great. But we'll hear from both Bill and
Speaker 4: Mac jones uh later on in the program, but first
Speaker 4: we go to Deshaun and Virginia. Deshaun, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 4: What's up? Goode on speaker there, DeShawn.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. What I wanted to
Speaker 10: say is that I'm like the last part of that.
Speaker 10: I'm not hoping for the first round pick. But that's
Speaker 10: how I want to speak on, which what I want
Speaker 10: to speak on is I was paying attention when the
Speaker 10: game first started with part with the receivers that was
Speaker 10: out there. So I noticed there was a lot of
Speaker 10: speed out there. Yep, a little bit just on Salon.
Speaker 10: So do you think they wish they were more consistent
Speaker 10: group of receivers moving forward?
Speaker 1: I hope so. But but my fear is that that
Speaker 1: was more game plan oriented, you know, against this against
Speaker 1: this particular defense that has trouble tackling in space. And
Speaker 1: I do think I mentioned it off the top, DeShawn.
Speaker 1: They had formations early in the game with to Mario Douglas,
Speaker 1: Taekwon Thornton, and Jalen Jalen Rager all together on the field,
Speaker 1: and they weren't like, you know, a side of Douglas.
Speaker 1: The other two really weren't impactful. But I do think
Speaker 1: the speed needs to be respected. I liked I liked
Speaker 1: that plan. That's why I gave Bill my uh my,
Speaker 1: my first first prize on the.
Speaker 4: On the Good List, all right, thanks to Shawn.
Speaker 1: I do think there's a chance that you'll see more
Speaker 1: of that. I just wonder if it was specifically related
Speaker 1: to Buffalo.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and as I mentioned in the pregame show, Rager's
Speaker 5: now been promoted three times, so he is maxed out.
Speaker 5: If they wanted to have him play again, they would
Speaker 5: have to promote him to the active uster. I think,
Speaker 5: I mean, for me, just the bottom line is that
Speaker 5: Douglas has to continue to be involved, Like they cannot
Speaker 5: afford to put him back into like a fourth, fifth,
Speaker 5: fifth receiver option, Like keep him in the mix as
Speaker 5: much as possible.
Speaker 1: Douglas and born of your two best receivers.
Speaker 5: Yes, so seasoned today, Yeah, just jump the hands and
Speaker 5: gets a concussion, he comes back.
Speaker 1: He's like, all of a sudden, him and one of
Speaker 1: your two best receivers. He needs to be part of
Speaker 1: the game plan every week.
Speaker 4: Yep, Keith and Montreal joining us. Now what's up Keith?
Speaker 16: Hi, I'm good. Nice to hear you know, you guys
Speaker 16: after victory maybe have become that that often.
Speaker 4: There's a lot more where that came from, Keith. Don't
Speaker 4: you worry?
Speaker 1: Well, we think it's a win, but you really need
Speaker 1: to stop doing that because you know what's going to happen,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 16: I mean after the first two games, I was done
Speaker 16: with the moral victory. I mean, they played well, they
Speaker 16: hug in there, but I was like, think, I gotta
Speaker 16: win one of these games because there's been too many
Speaker 16: games going back over the last couple of years where
Speaker 16: you know, they hanging tight with teams and then you know,
Speaker 16: only somehow find a way to lose. So some of
Speaker 16: the points that we're encouraging for me, you know, Matt
Speaker 16: getting the ball out quick, spreading the ball around I
Speaker 16: think to seven eight receivers the last drive especially, you
Speaker 16: know with Hunter and Gasiki Douglas played a major.
Speaker 15: Role in the game, and like one of you.
Speaker 16: Said, like he has to be part of of the offense,
Speaker 16: you know, moving forward. He can't be in a package.
Speaker 16: He's got to be out there because he presents matchup challenges.
Speaker 4: Have Douglas Douglas know who he was talking about. Okay,
Speaker 4: I don't know anybody who disagrees with.
Speaker 16: That, because you know, there's kind of been a little
Speaker 16: suspect special team was really good today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought they had a good day on special
Speaker 1: teams for the most part. YEP, I agree, all right.
Speaker 4: Thanks Keith.
Speaker 11: How many yards did macaff again?
Speaker 1: Two seventy two, twenty five for thirty for seventy thirty? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and statistically it was great. I don't think it was
Speaker 1: that great, but when it had to be, it was
Speaker 1: better than that. Like that's game on the line, though,
Speaker 1: I mean, everything is crumbling. You just somehow coughed up
Speaker 1: this twelve point lead in the last five minutes of
Speaker 1: the game. And he responds and I get it. You know,
Speaker 1: the first play is really you know, a thirty four
Speaker 1: yard play to Stevenson on it that he did nothing on.
Speaker 1: But the throat to Hunter Henry is huge. And then
Speaker 1: he comes back with the you know, the play to
Speaker 1: Kasiki for the win, like he was big. He came
Speaker 1: up big when he had to. It's it's a I
Speaker 1: don't say signature win, like it's a little bit like
Speaker 1: it is his best win. If you want to call
Speaker 1: it a signature win, sure, I mean it was his
Speaker 1: best win.
Speaker 4: Paul in Glasgow says, great to finally get Mac dog
Speaker 4: a win. Who cares about draft position. Let's get four
Speaker 4: wins and draft a Division two safety. He had eighteen overall,
Speaker 4: in all seriousness, we want entertainment and that's what today was.
Speaker 4: Solid win against a team that has owned us recently.
Speaker 4: Always great to see Diggs and McDermott get upset. Great
Speaker 4: job for Mac to get that monkey off his back,
Speaker 4: be a real quarterback on the final drive. And Pepper's
Speaker 4: for president was ra.
Speaker 11: A acting up on the sideline.
Speaker 5: Oh not that I noticed, but you know, I think
Speaker 5: on one of those calls we're picking up the flag.
Speaker 1: I think we got a little ra going for those
Speaker 1: of you that care about the draft position, because I
Speaker 1: know some people. Do you know the Giants won the
Speaker 1: Bears one. Those are two one win teams, so keep
Speaker 1: in pace. Even though you won, you didn't.
Speaker 5: Lose an I know an NFL script hat at that one,
Speaker 5: you know, and to your point, pout like I like,
Speaker 5: I just I just can't bring myself to start thinking
Speaker 5: about that stuff, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: I would never tell a fan that you're not doing
Speaker 1: it right if you're not rooting for them to lose.
Speaker 1: That's loser mentality. I don't do that. I've never done that,
Speaker 1: and Fred will tell you I've rooted for Northeastern for
Speaker 1: a long time. I have a lot, I have a
Speaker 1: share of losing in my background. Yeah, okay, I never
Speaker 1: live no. But I would never go in and say
Speaker 1: I don't care if they win. I went to every
Speaker 1: game hoping that they won. And I think if you're
Speaker 1: a fan of a team, you want them to win.
Speaker 1: I get that. I would never tell anybody who watches
Speaker 1: a game you're not doing it right if you if
Speaker 1: you're not rooting for them to lose. Do you know
Speaker 1: what I mean?
Speaker 22: Oh?
Speaker 1: I know, But I don't understand this notion that this
Speaker 1: team is too good to be like in the top five.
Speaker 4: This one's in a weird mood tonight.
Speaker 1: Fandom that just makes again this is his favorite topic,
Speaker 1: dumping on me.
Speaker 4: Uh Mark uh says, great win, but the tackling is
Speaker 4: atrocious nearly cost them the game. There were some open
Speaker 4: field tackling issues that well, I'm sure will not be
Speaker 4: overlooked this week.
Speaker 5: I gotta say to like, you know, I like ju
Speaker 5: Bill Peppers, but he had he had a bad misstackle
Speaker 5: on that touchdown too, So they those safeties got to
Speaker 5: be better on the open field with that kind of stuff,
Speaker 5: especially you. I mean, some of these guys are not
Speaker 5: exactly world beef.
Speaker 1: The Dugger one was a bad miss. I didn't think
Speaker 1: tackling was a huge problem today.
Speaker 12: The thing about it is if those little things like
Speaker 12: the tackling and the penalty, if they didn't happen, this
Speaker 12: would be like a forty point game. They would have
Speaker 12: just destroyed the Bills. I mean, that's how much better
Speaker 12: I think the Patriots were today. It just didn't show
Speaker 12: up on the scoreboard. But if they make those tackles,
Speaker 12: you know.
Speaker 11: That they had shots at, Yeah, I mean, it would
Speaker 11: have been complete and utter domination.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think they were better all day. I really
Speaker 1: do think they were better all day. Now, the Bills
Speaker 1: have such personnel that, like, you look at the stats
Speaker 1: at the end of the day and it's it's pretty even. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But yeah, I thought the Patriot I agree with Fred.
Speaker 1: I thought the Patriots were better. And if they just
Speaker 1: had buttoned up a couple of things penalty wise. You
Speaker 1: know those big play I mean Mike's right, the Peppers
Speaker 1: miss on the touchdown and then the dugger miss on
Speaker 1: Latavious Murray that was like fifteen Yeah, if they gave
Speaker 1: up seventeen yards, you know those those gets you off
Speaker 1: the field. But I thought overall, like the play before
Speaker 1: Bentley knocks the ball away from Dawson Knox, I think
Speaker 1: it was Jack Jones had a really solid tackle dis yeah.
Speaker 1: On it was like, yeah, it was like third and
Speaker 1: seven or something. I think it was third and seven,
Speaker 1: and then he caught it little hitch and he's looking
Speaker 1: to catch it and maybe plant and turn up field,
Speaker 1: and you got hit as soon as he caught it,
Speaker 1: and it's fourth and two instead of a first down.
Speaker 1: So I thought they did a pretty good job of
Speaker 1: tackling today. There were a couple of clearing misses, no,
Speaker 1: no doubt. I thought the Bills, on the other hand,
Speaker 1: were atrocious. I thought Fred's right. I thought the Patriots
Speaker 1: had had the better of the play.
Speaker 4: How about Moyses in Connecticut? Moyses on this episode of
Speaker 4: The Patriots Post Game Show, brought to you by DraftKings, Moyses,
Speaker 4: what's going on?
Speaker 23: What's going on my Patriot bothers?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, pretty good?
Speaker 23: How do you let you guys know?
Speaker 10: They win?
Speaker 6: For coach Bartak?
Speaker 4: Do you go, Freddy? Another one win?
Speaker 1: Good Moses, another one on your side?
Speaker 23: After that, Damoyo Douglas Pot Douglas stepped up big, Mike
Speaker 23: Pasicky on the hand, we stepped up big. The last
Speaker 23: two players of the fourth quarter came up huged for
Speaker 23: the Patriots. Defense, offense stepped up will big. The Patriots
Speaker 23: play well, but Buffalo wi kinda shaky. Great team wins
Speaker 23: for the Patriots.
Speaker 12: And I thought the in game entertainment today was good.
Speaker 12: You know, you had the halftime ceremony, you had the
Speaker 12: violinists for the anthem.
Speaker 11: I think all around him fover went big win.
Speaker 1: Do we know that violinists the anthem?
Speaker 11: I know we're gonna put it up on Patriots dot com.
Speaker 4: The violin anthem was fantastic. It was one of my The.
Speaker 11: Kid had autism.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do we know? Does he go to camp all
Speaker 1: the time? Do we know that guy?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I've never I've never met him before,
Speaker 4: but I think he plays the hell out of that fiddle.
Speaker 5: Ethan Okay, I didn't hear the little name Charlie Daniels band.
Speaker 1: That was well done.
Speaker 4: That was really good.
Speaker 1: It was tasteful, tasteful, not tacky.
Speaker 4: No. Kevin and San Francisco. Hello, Kevin, Hey, guys, are
Speaker 4: we doing good?
Speaker 11: Sweet Ethan done?
Speaker 4: Ethan wants hold on.
Speaker 11: Kevin.
Speaker 12: Ethan wants the world to know that though he has autism,
Speaker 12: autism does not have him.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's what I said in the Yeah, that's what
Speaker 4: I said as they introduced him.
Speaker 11: Okay, we can't hear that.
Speaker 4: Okay, I don't hear you. Guys. Need to get better seats.
Speaker 11: Sorry, real lucky.
Speaker 1: We're even in the stadium. Yeah, we can't even see
Speaker 1: that park here.
Speaker 11: Kevin and San Francisco.
Speaker 4: Oh yes, sorry Kevin A Hey, uh.
Speaker 21: Good win today, you know, bottom line, Just I know
Speaker 21: it doesn't mean we're going to be any better for
Speaker 21: the rest of the year. And I know Buffalo's got
Speaker 21: their injuries and all that good stuff, but it's just
Speaker 21: good to get a win.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 21: But I got to disagree with Paul on putting the
Speaker 21: coaching on the good list.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I didn't expect that.
Speaker 21: I mean, come on, guys, they finally put some speed
Speaker 21: out there. What after six games.
Speaker 15: I'm not giving I'm just.
Speaker 21: Because the blind squirrel find it nut once in a while,
Speaker 21: I'm not going to give.
Speaker 15: Him credit at all.
Speaker 1: Okay, wow, I thought their game plan had Buffalo off
Speaker 1: balance today, that's all.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 21: The game play was great until until once again, they
Speaker 21: get up about ten points. Then Belichick it's like, okay,
Speaker 21: let's get on the ball and let's win this game.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think they ever sat on the ball.
Speaker 1: They punted twice all day. I mean, I just, I
Speaker 1: mean I I I'm as critical as anybody. I thought
Speaker 1: today the game plan was really good. I thought that
Speaker 1: they moved the ball as well as they have all
Speaker 1: year today for sixty minutes. I'm not talking about for
Speaker 1: a drive right all day all day. Yes, I thought
Speaker 1: they moved the ball pretty much every time they had it.
Speaker 4: But I think what Kevin might be referring to is
Speaker 4: that the end of a couple of drives, the first
Speaker 4: two that ended in field goals, and again you're getting
Speaker 4: points on the board after a drive. You know, let's
Speaker 4: let's take our victories.
Speaker 1: The first one. I didn't like the third down play
Speaker 1: on the first drive, but that.
Speaker 12: Was the only one really, I mean otherwise, like people
Speaker 12: were saying at the end, they're you know, worried about
Speaker 12: the clock too much.
Speaker 11: They were playing it correctly, they were moving.
Speaker 1: The ball and at the end of the game.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm not not way at the end, but oh okay,
Speaker 12: there was another point where they were just it was
Speaker 12: like toward the end of the third quarter into the fourth.
Speaker 11: Yeah, they were, you know.
Speaker 1: I didn't think there was anything wrong, you know, with
Speaker 1: their mindset really all all day. I thought the play
Speaker 1: call at the end of the first drive was questionable.
Speaker 1: But other than like, we do know that they haven't
Speaker 1: been able to score more than twenty points all year,
Speaker 1: and now we're wondering, like, how did they only get
Speaker 1: twenty nine? And I get Kevin's point. Kevin's got a
Speaker 1: valid point. It took him too long to get here
Speaker 1: where they did the things they did today. I think
Speaker 1: that's a valid, valid criticism. But I just thought what
Speaker 1: they did today worked and it was really good.
Speaker 4: Kevin's all thanks for the call. Appreciate it, Johnny and
Speaker 4: Madtown says, congrats to Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is not fret Fretz got all his boys.
Speaker 4: Now only three coaches ever to three hundred wins. Also,
Speaker 4: Mac had a great game. I think he could have
Speaker 4: had three or four touchdowns today, but I understand the
Speaker 4: conservative play calling and who knows what would have happened
Speaker 4: on the drive after Born fumbled. Forget hypotheticals. Though he
Speaker 4: did well today, If he's not elite, we can never
Speaker 4: expect him to be. He wasn't today, But one is
Speaker 4: the game in the end.
Speaker 1: You could do audio books.
Speaker 4: Well, I've I got coached up by Fred and I
Speaker 4: did you practice on the radio show? If nothing else,
Speaker 4: I am coachable and he coached me to do a
Speaker 4: better job of reading the emails.
Speaker 1: He took your notes and you made some corrections and
Speaker 1: you came back.
Speaker 4: Well, he is my he is my boss. Well, the
Speaker 4: boss tells you to do something, you.
Speaker 11: Should do it.
Speaker 12: Like on your music show, do you do you go
Speaker 12: behind the music like before you know, like you talk about.
Speaker 5: Like try to stay in front of the music, because
Speaker 5: if you're talking about a song that just played, people
Speaker 5: don't want.
Speaker 4: That excel forward momentary, you know, like v H one
Speaker 4: behind the music. I do a ton of that stuff.
Speaker 4: I had a great tidbit today. I'll share it with
Speaker 4: you off the year.
Speaker 11: So that's That's what I wanted to know. Okay, it's
Speaker 11: more than just playing music.
Speaker 4: Sure, Sure, Kareem and Boston, Hello Kareem.
Speaker 11: When I talk about that show, Hey.
Speaker 1: Guys, it wasn't taken like I do when I said
Speaker 1: this was not a three wins team.
Speaker 16: We're at leaf A four winds.
Speaker 1: That's there, you go. Yeah, Well, what like Fred would say,
Speaker 1: twelve and five's on the table?
Speaker 11: Fifteen?
Speaker 15: Do we roll with.
Speaker 21: The silver pants until we lose?
Speaker 4: Oh? God, yes, I don't care. Impossible for me to
Speaker 4: care lesson why not?
Speaker 11: Why not?
Speaker 1: If they ask me tomorrow in the office, I'll say anything.
Speaker 11: Just whatever works, go with it.
Speaker 4: Lee and Oklahoma, We're going to talk to Lee before
Speaker 4: we hear from Bill Belichick.
Speaker 21: Hello, Lee, Hey, how are you guys doing?
Speaker 10: Lee?
Speaker 6: Hey? Uh, you know I am from Oklahoma, and man,
Speaker 6: I gotta tell you once. I was born in ninety six,
Speaker 6: so I was blessed with, you know, watching Tom Brady
Speaker 6: play all these years. But I have been, amongst my
Speaker 6: friend groups, the number one defender of Matt Jones. And
Speaker 6: the reason why is, you know, we struggled really early
Speaker 6: on in the year with checking the past or even
Speaker 6: last year, and whenever he was a rookie under Josh McDaniels.
Speaker 6: The one thing we did is we protected him decently well,
Speaker 6: I'm not going to say great, but decently well. And
Speaker 6: I do study football. I get a degree from I'm
Speaker 6: Home Tech University in sports media, and I love the
Speaker 6: Exes and oast and this seems to be the first
Speaker 6: game where Mac has truly had.
Speaker 21: A little bit of time to go through his.
Speaker 16: Puggessions and throw the ball.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 6: Not only is that, but it opens up the run game.
Speaker 6: I mean, guys, I'm not saying we're a playoff team
Speaker 6: at all. We probably aren't, but I mean there's some
Speaker 6: future there. I mean, I'm not saying Max is the guy,
Speaker 6: but he's definitely got talent that you can give him
Speaker 6: a little bit of ring to freeze.
Speaker 4: Am I wrong, No, No, and Lee, I personally thank you,
Speaker 4: but that's just well, if you want an x AS
Speaker 4: and O show, I'm sure we can. We can probably
Speaker 4: recommend a few for you, you know. But we're happy, Yeah,
Speaker 4: we're happy you're listening to us. I think the offensive
Speaker 4: line played better today. Number one. I also think Paul
Speaker 4: made a great point about how the Patriots were able
Speaker 4: to play and how they expected or you could expect
Speaker 4: the Bills to play. Once the Patriots had the lead,
Speaker 4: it changes the dynamic of the game. And it's not
Speaker 4: necessarily just about x's and o's an offensive line that
Speaker 4: just becomes a sense of urgency that other teams have
Speaker 4: not had with you before today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and my point on Mac is like, yeah, today
Speaker 1: was excellent. Like, they scored twenty nine points, they had
Speaker 1: just checking here, three hundred and sixty four yards of offense.
Speaker 1: They you know, they went down and got a touchdown
Speaker 1: to win the game at the end. They executed in
Speaker 1: the clutch today. There's no issues offensively. Can I see
Speaker 1: that once more than once out of the last thirty
Speaker 1: games before I say it, like, I think they got
Speaker 1: the guy right, like like it literally has been decades
Speaker 1: since they've they've looked like that. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I don't have any arguments today. You know, everything they
Speaker 1: did today.
Speaker 6: I liked, collaborate. I mean, all together, I want you
Speaker 6: guys to opinion on this though. Everybody has been kind
Speaker 6: of I mean, this year has been right. I mean
Speaker 6: we can all agree on that.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, last year was rough too.
Speaker 11: Well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so it was the last half of his
Speaker 1: rookie year that was rough too.
Speaker 6: I'm just saying this year, but let's look at this
Speaker 6: as this is the first drive at least that I
Speaker 6: can recall the top of my head where he's been down,
Speaker 6: had the ball. I mean, look at the Eagles, right,
Speaker 6: we had a finish to win. Look at the Dolphins,
Speaker 6: he had a finish to win. He finally pulled through
Speaker 6: and led the team down the field. He had one
Speaker 6: back thrown about that what four or five yard gold
Speaker 6: route that got batted and was arguably about it's been
Speaker 6: a pickable ball.
Speaker 4: But Lee, I think you're kind of making Paul's point.
Speaker 4: He's done it once, so you're going to change your
Speaker 4: mind on him.
Speaker 6: Well, well, no, no, no, no, no. Does this help
Speaker 6: him get over the hump?
Speaker 1: So you're asking, will he now be something that we
Speaker 1: haven't seen?
Speaker 4: Maybe?
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's maybe it's got to help.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's not going to hurt him the performance today.
Speaker 5: I mean, like we said at the top, I mean,
Speaker 5: this is something they haven't done before. So you know,
Speaker 5: everything that's being preached to them about the hard work
Speaker 5: and hard work paying off and all that, and and
Speaker 5: trust in the process and all that stuff, like it
Speaker 5: carries a little more weight right now than it might
Speaker 5: have before the game.
Speaker 1: So, I mean, I hope so, but.
Speaker 5: Hey, now you can have got it in Miami and
Speaker 5: we all know what that's been like over the last to.
Speaker 1: You a point ly like, it's not like that's unprecedented.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you just need to see it happen
Speaker 1: once and then all of a sudden the guy feels
Speaker 1: like he's he's a different player, you know. Thanks Lee,
Speaker 1: If you're asking me what I think, I don't think
Speaker 1: that that will happen. But I can't tell you, like
Speaker 1: something that's happening in the future, it hasn't happened.
Speaker 4: Well, it's it's my favorite point. It's been made today
Speaker 4: and I kind of missbook and it means sense of urgency.
Speaker 4: What I meant was well, in addition to the congratulating bill,
Speaker 4: that was the best don't and don't forget.
Speaker 1: Don't forget. I don't know if you guys know, but
Speaker 1: the next win that he was going to get was
Speaker 1: going to be his three hundred. No one's really talked
Speaker 1: about that, Okay, it's never really come up.
Speaker 11: The point that context to it.
Speaker 4: Sure, Yeah, the point that Paul made though about Mac
Speaker 4: playing better and the offensive line playing better. A lot
Speaker 4: of that is informed and dictated by the fact that
Speaker 4: the Patriots had the lead, and you can't send all
Speaker 4: kinds of defensive pressure when you're trying to protect against
Speaker 4: a team scoring again and increasing their lead. So, yeah,
Speaker 4: there was a good reminder at the top.
Speaker 24: Of that point has been made many times now, that's okay,
Speaker 24: it's been made.
Speaker 4: He made it once. I wanted to kind.
Speaker 1: Of highlight it. Yeah, I just I think that's the
Speaker 1: secret sauce for the Patriots. I think they only have
Speaker 1: one really one way, and like that's why I think
Speaker 1: it was so encouraging to have them have that drive
Speaker 1: at the end to like steal it, come from behind,
Speaker 1: and then maybe now like the next time they fall
Speaker 1: behind early in the game, it won't be that, well
Speaker 1: we're done. Yeah, you don't matter, you got no.
Speaker 5: Just another point I think to make is and I
Speaker 5: just want to make sure we highlight it. I know,
Speaker 5: not a great day for Remandre, but we did my
Speaker 5: little roundtable before and Remondre was if you could pick
Speaker 5: one person win or lose, just to have a good
Speaker 5: game today, And it wasn't a great game. But I
Speaker 5: just think that play that he made there in the
Speaker 5: end with that pass getting same kind of thing, like,
Speaker 5: I just think that's a play for him.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: Granted, now I don't know what.
Speaker 5: Paul's gonna say, but you know, me and Evan are like,
Speaker 5: and we said it throughout the game, like it's just
Speaker 5: he's not getting what's there?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to get running right into guys.
Speaker 11: What were his numbers?
Speaker 1: I can't in good conscience keep this because my my
Speaker 1: key had nothing to do.
Speaker 4: With this game, Like, oh no, you get the key.
Speaker 4: I wanted.
Speaker 1: I wanted to run the ball and they couldn't run them.
Speaker 1: Andre was nine four yards three point eight yards so
Speaker 1: and Elliott was worse, so eleven for thirty one.
Speaker 5: And you know, we kept saying, like, jeez, it just
Speaker 5: seems like he gets it. There's a little bit of space,
Speaker 5: and he doesn't really he'sn't able to break a tackle
Speaker 5: or make anybody miss. But in the same lines of
Speaker 5: mac one play down near the end, critical play sets
Speaker 5: up the whole final game winning score. Maybe this gives
Speaker 5: Mandre a little bit of you know, a little bit
Speaker 5: of encouragement, a little bit juiced to hopefully coming out
Speaker 5: of this one.
Speaker 4: All right, let's get to Bill Belichick here, big thank
Speaker 4: you to our partner Microsoft. Surface, the official sideline technology
Speaker 4: provider and laptop of the NFL and the New England Patriots,
Speaker 4: provides players and coaches with the tools to succeed both
Speaker 4: on and off the field. Check out the powerful Surface
Speaker 4: Pro nine, combining the power of a laptop with the
Speaker 4: flexibility of a tablet at surface dot com. Here's the
Speaker 4: head coach.
Speaker 25: A good win for us today, you know, a good
Speaker 25: team victory. You know, had a lot of contributions from
Speaker 25: all three units offense, defense, special teams. There's you know
Speaker 25: a lot of good football obviously. You know, Buffalo's very
Speaker 25: good team, quality team, very explosive. So yeah, came down
Speaker 25: the list handful of plays and unfortunately this week really
Speaker 25: to make them so.
Speaker 10: Good.
Speaker 25: You know, good day to day. It's there, got a
Speaker 25: lot of work to do, things we can do better,
Speaker 25: but it's good to have those results.
Speaker 26: So Bill, after run Mac hit rodri Andre goet out
Speaker 26: of the seven, you called your last time out, So
Speaker 26: your first and goal at the seven and Mac hit
Speaker 26: Pop Jong popped Pop at the one yard line. He
Speaker 26: did not get out of bounce but you had to
Speaker 26: pass interference call which stopped the clock. In retrospect the
Speaker 26: way things went, How did that pass interference call just
Speaker 26: change the complexion of the end of the game.
Speaker 25: Well, I mean it is what it is, kind of
Speaker 25: the same thing happened at the other end. You know,
Speaker 25: the penalties, I need to look there were flags, there
Speaker 25: were no flags. They picked them up. I throw them late,
Speaker 25: you know, I don't know, but yeah, there's defensive penalty
Speaker 25: that stops clock. That's what it is. So you know,
Speaker 25: when you're on defense in those situations, penalties are never
Speaker 25: a good thing. And you know we had them. They
Speaker 25: had them. Helps the offense, Hi.
Speaker 1: Bill, what did you see from mac Jones today, especially
Speaker 1: on that last two minute drive.
Speaker 25: Well, I mean it's you know, gotten a good offensive drive.
Speaker 25: You know, had a good you know, good run there
Speaker 25: about Madre and you know, got up a lot of
Speaker 25: you know, cover a lot of field, but you know,
Speaker 25: made mcmade good check on the blitz, got it to
Speaker 25: the weak side to Parker and you know, hip hop
Speaker 25: down there a good throw for the touchdown. So there's
Speaker 25: you know a lot of good football pass protection. I
Speaker 25: mean they were rushing, they were blitzing so we picked
Speaker 25: them up, we threw it, we caught it. It was
Speaker 25: a good execution.
Speaker 27: Coach.
Speaker 4: You got players making plays on both sides of the ball,
Speaker 4: guys stepping up big time.
Speaker 28: But Pepper's he seems to come through for you weekend
Speaker 28: and a week out.
Speaker 4: How big is Jabril?
Speaker 25: Yeah, i'side a good year, you know, very explosive player,
Speaker 25: hard tackler, a big, big lay An interception. That was
Speaker 25: a nice you know kind of we got hit on
Speaker 25: that play against him last year and you know, worked
Speaker 25: on it and I played it well. Did nice job,
Speaker 25: go up high point the ball. We worked a lot
Speaker 25: on you know, Allan throwing the ball down the field. Uh,
Speaker 25: he had that one in the end zone. Seemed like
Speaker 25: threw it about seventy yards. I don't know how far
Speaker 25: it was, but it was JC broke it up down there.
Speaker 25: So it was kind of fifty to fifty deep balls.
Speaker 25: You know, our are tough. He's I mean, he's got
Speaker 25: a big arm and you know he got good receivers.
Speaker 25: So yeah, PEPs, you know, PEPs and good for us.
Speaker 25: And you know, except this in the kicking game as well,
Speaker 25: and you mentioned offensive defense, but I thought we had
Speaker 25: you know, I thought Chad was a big kick there,
Speaker 25: forty nine yarder and uh punt return. You know, it
Speaker 25: gave us good field position there in first quarter. You know,
Speaker 25: covered kicks obviously a lot better than we did the
Speaker 25: last time we played them, so uh and punts you
Speaker 25: know thought you know, uh probably had a big field
Speaker 25: position swing there. So you know, all the units contributed.
Speaker 25: It's good to good to have.
Speaker 29: That, thanks Bill. First few games here at home this year,
Speaker 29: you guys started slowly. You're playing from behind, turnovers, that
Speaker 29: sort of thing. Today you had the lead to nothing,
Speaker 29: you obviously had to turnover. What was the difference for
Speaker 29: your team here today?
Speaker 25: Yeah, well, I mean we played well today, so I
Speaker 25: just still run for improvement. But yeah, I'll say it
Speaker 25: goes next time we played him.
Speaker 24: Bill, what factor into the decision to put Mike and
Speaker 24: Winnu went right tackle today?
Speaker 1: And is the plan to keep him there going forward?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 25: Yeah, we'll see. I don't talk like about it, so yeah,
Speaker 25: I don't know, we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 5: In the back, Bill, what is your reaction to becoming
Speaker 5: the third head coach with three hundred wins behind Don
Speaker 5: Shula and George Hallis.
Speaker 25: I mean it's great. I'm really more focused on, you know,
Speaker 25: our team in this year and worry about that later.
Speaker 25: Thank you, Bill.
Speaker 30: I'm wondering how much a drive like the last drive
Speaker 30: today for your offense can help generate confidence in mac
Speaker 30: moving forward, everybody, players, coaches, staff.
Speaker 25: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 30: How about for you then individually? How much more confidence
Speaker 30: might you have in somebody when you see.
Speaker 4: The next players?
Speaker 25: Why we put him out there? I enough confidence I'm
Speaker 25: moving them out there.
Speaker 1: On the other side, Pop had a lot more production today.
Speaker 27: Just what did you see from him after coming back
Speaker 27: from that concussion?
Speaker 25: Yeah, I mean Pop's quick. You know, he got some
Speaker 25: separation on a few rests, made a couple of tough catches.
Speaker 25: You know, the scene passed was good cash that he
Speaker 25: got held on the play. Actually, O, we're out on
Speaker 25: the first drive. I think it was sure he already's play.
Speaker 25: So yeah, I mean a big thing for all of
Speaker 25: us is just obviously offensively, ball security from every person
Speaker 25: on the team, so quarterbacks, receivers, running backs, tight ends,
Speaker 25: everybody hands the ball. If we can just take care
Speaker 25: of the ball, that will help us a lot. And
Speaker 25: so it's a number one thing for everybody.
Speaker 31: Bill Matt gave a lot of credit to the offensive
Speaker 31: line today and just overall as a group. I'm just
Speaker 31: curious your thoughts about the blocking up front, two tight
Speaker 31: end sets, the change with though one Knew'm just curious
Speaker 31: your thoughts on the overall performance up front today.
Speaker 25: Well, I think it was one of our most consistent
Speaker 25: offensive performances of the year. You know, we had a
Speaker 25: couple of long drives last week. You know today, I
Speaker 25: don't know, we were pun a couple of times. It
Speaker 25: wasn't very many, which is good. It's always a good thing,
Speaker 25: you know, ten punts against New Orleans or whatever it was. Yeah,
Speaker 25: So we moved the ball, we score points, we changed
Speaker 25: field position. Again, that's not one person. One person can't
Speaker 25: do it. You know, you have to have eleving guys
Speaker 25: working together. And you know, Billy did a good job
Speaker 25: all week with the you know, the game plan. Team
Speaker 25: went in there and played you know, with good, good
Speaker 25: competitive level, better fundamentals, and better execution. So it's a
Speaker 25: good place to start.
Speaker 4: Thanks.
Speaker 6: Hi.
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of discussion as of late about
Speaker 1: your contract extension.
Speaker 3: Is there anything you like to share with Patriots fans
Speaker 3: about where I.
Speaker 25: Never talk about my contract. Focus on the game. Try
Speaker 25: to focus on Buffalo. Now we'll focus on Miami. Yeah,
Speaker 25: count on that. Thanks, So could could you like a
Speaker 25: lot of softball out there for me or something? And
Speaker 25: I hit a single? Like I don't need to hit
Speaker 25: out apart, We just kind of softball.
Speaker 1: On the one.
Speaker 25: Yeah, that was a you know, that could have been costly. Obviously,
Speaker 25: we that was a mistake, you know, on our part.
Speaker 25: And I'd say, you know, normally, probably just think about
Speaker 25: taking the delay penalty and kick it. But the way
Speaker 25: the wind was today, those kicks we were hard. I mean,
Speaker 25: you don't know from fifteen yard line, but you know
Speaker 25: you back it up now or you know, it's a
Speaker 25: lot tougher kick. So you know, we blew a time
Speaker 25: out on it. But thank you, thank for reminding that.
Speaker 25: I appreciate that, you know, bad bad coaching, bad management.
Speaker 25: But yeah, normally that would kind of be a timeout thing.
Speaker 25: But based on the way it was, I mean, that
Speaker 25: was a you know, I was a good Kich had
Speaker 25: made a forty nine yarder and then you know, you
Speaker 25: saw what happened on Basses field goal. I mean it
Speaker 25: looked like, you know, one of my five irons but
Speaker 25: straight there, right, But you know it's a tough wind
Speaker 25: out there today. So that, yeah, that was the we
Speaker 25: decided to take the delay and try to, you know,
Speaker 25: make it a little bit shorter kick.
Speaker 32: Hey, coach, just on pop Douglas again for a second.
Speaker 32: His skill set, How does that kind of open up
Speaker 32: things for the other skilled position guys. You obviously set
Speaker 32: him in motion a lot. He's a guy you have
Speaker 32: to watch out for. Does that open up opportunities for
Speaker 32: other receivers the running game when you have somebody that
Speaker 32: has to be accounted for?
Speaker 25: But like that, I mean, I don't hopefully they account
Speaker 25: for everybody. I mean, I gotta account for born Hunter,
Speaker 25: Henry Joseki, Parker Stevenson. I mean, I don't know if
Speaker 25: they ask Buffalo about that.
Speaker 10: I don't know.
Speaker 25: Hopefully they're coounting for everybody. Not we should be getting
Speaker 25: the ball.
Speaker 6: Bill.
Speaker 29: Can you talk about the final drive and what you
Speaker 29: saw in the final touchdown in particular what you liked
Speaker 29: about it?
Speaker 25: Uh, well, you know the way Buffalo plays down there,
Speaker 25: it's sort of they hard to throw the ball in
Speaker 25: the goal line. They do a real good job taking
Speaker 25: the goal line away. You've kind of got to throw
Speaker 25: behind them into the back of the end zone, you know,
Speaker 25: with a flag or a you know, some type of
Speaker 25: play you know, in the back end line type of thing.
Speaker 25: Because they're on the goal line, they're they're really aggressive
Speaker 25: and they you know, it's just hard to stuff the
Speaker 25: ball in there. So you know, it's a good throw,
Speaker 25: you know, good high throw against that coverage is kind
Speaker 25: of what you what you need to do when they
Speaker 25: play it like that. And now there's some place where
Speaker 25: they drop back and you know, played they played a
Speaker 25: little bit of cover two down there, but you know,
Speaker 25: they play aggressively and it's hard to get open and
Speaker 25: hard to find space, and sometimes the space is behind
Speaker 25: the defense on the goal line instead of right on
Speaker 25: the goal line. So okay, all right, thank you.
Speaker 4: There goes the head coach after his team gets the
Speaker 4: win today.
Speaker 11: He'll be here for the whole week. Try the veal.
Speaker 1: I can't believe he took that rocket shot, Tyler Bath.
Speaker 1: I was not expecting that.
Speaker 4: Wow, he's feeling it.
Speaker 11: Well.
Speaker 4: He was getting into a you know that just settling
Speaker 4: into that old rhythm, you know, with with Zoe asking
Speaker 4: the questions like good jazz. Those two are just be
Speaker 4: bopping and scatting around, you know, Zinger for twenty nine
Speaker 4: twenty five. That's your final here at Letts Stadium. Here tonight,
Speaker 4: we'll take some more phone calls. Well here from Mac Jones.
Speaker 4: In a moment, We're gonna go to Tyler, who is
Speaker 4: in the Bay area. Tyler, what do you got for us?
Speaker 1: Tyler Taylor?
Speaker 4: Nope, he's gone, Tyler. We'll go to Chad. He's in
Speaker 4: Los Angeles a phone stack.
Speaker 1: Hi, Chad, Yes, Hi, Chad.
Speaker 13: Get to listen to the good lift with Mac on it.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah he was.
Speaker 6: If he didn't make.
Speaker 13: That touchdown at the very end of the game.
Speaker 1: Would he have in on the bad I did not
Speaker 1: know unless I don't think he was a bad pick. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: I should never say never, but I don't think he
Speaker 1: was anywhere near the bad list today. But he think,
Speaker 1: well you think he was bad.
Speaker 9: I thought that there was.
Speaker 6: If there was the reason they were going to lose,
Speaker 6: it was going to be him.
Speaker 11: Wow.
Speaker 1: Really, oh wait, you thought he was going to make
Speaker 1: a mistake on the last drive.
Speaker 6: I did not have any confidence.
Speaker 1: Okay, no, I'm not. Yeah, I'm like, that's fine. I'm
Speaker 1: just wondering if you thought. Let's just say, for argument's sake,
Speaker 1: they call a penalty on the on the screen pass
Speaker 1: to remindre Stevenson, and then they ended up not getting
Speaker 1: the first down because of that? Would he be on
Speaker 1: the bad list or did he need to like throw
Speaker 1: a pick on that drive to be on the bad list?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 21: I mean the pick that he did throw is pretty brutal.
Speaker 1: He didn't throw a pick. Let's pick what brutal pick
Speaker 1: was that he didn't throw a pick today. That's why
Speaker 1: I'm wondering what made you put him on the bad list?
Speaker 1: What game did you watch?
Speaker 4: Okay, I won. I wanted to get to the call.
Speaker 1: But who had Paul on the defending Mac? Mount Mac?
Speaker 4: They're gonna come up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mac was nowhere near that.
Speaker 11: He is like enough, well enough?
Speaker 1: But am I wrong? I want do you guys? You
Speaker 1: guys disagree, we can have a conversation.
Speaker 11: I'm just trying to what he was thinking of.
Speaker 1: I don't think Mac was anywhere near the bad list.
Speaker 1: I mean he was twenty five or thirty for two
Speaker 1: or seventy two yards and two touchdowns. So let's take
Speaker 1: the last drive away and just say they went four
Speaker 1: and out. I still don't put him anywhere new.
Speaker 4: He had a couple of horrific plays. He had that
Speaker 4: one screen that went like behind, I don't know who
Speaker 4: he's throwing it to Remandre. Maybe it was like, you know,
Speaker 4: three feet back, and it's like okay. But he made
Speaker 4: enough good plays to wear he's on the good list.
Speaker 4: Maybe not as much as de Mario Douglas and look,
Speaker 4: I wanted to take that call. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: That was one right there. Listen, I'm not telling you that.
Speaker 1: I don't think he played as well as as twenty
Speaker 1: five for thirty for two, seventy two and two touchdowns
Speaker 1: indicates no. I don't think he looked that good. I
Speaker 1: think most of his completions were just little checkdowns that
Speaker 1: they ran after the catch and may both mostly broke
Speaker 1: tackles after the catch. But when the game was on
Speaker 1: the line, he throws an unbelievable pass to Hunter Henry
Speaker 1: on third and nine. I think the game winning touchdown.
Speaker 1: I mean you might look at it and think that's easy.
Speaker 1: It's not.
Speaker 4: No, it like it's it.
Speaker 1: I just feel like and I thought Bill made a
Speaker 1: good point, you know, the play, the play before they
Speaker 1: got down to the goal line. You know, they have
Speaker 1: an all out blitz and he checks to a quick
Speaker 1: slant to Parker. Yeah, and it gets an easy seven yards.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I thought Mac was good on the last drive.
Speaker 1: This throw right here is perfect. That's a perfect throw
Speaker 1: under pressure. If he doesn't make that throw, the Patriots
Speaker 1: are probably going to try a very long field goal
Speaker 1: with the game on the line, and maybe maybe he
Speaker 1: makes it. Maybe he doesn't. But even if, like, let's
Speaker 1: just say that that throw was high and he missed him.
Speaker 1: I don't put Mac Jones on the bad list, to know, No, And.
Speaker 5: If they had lost, I would have been looking at
Speaker 5: the defense and their inability to get off the field
Speaker 5: with like, you know, four drives that were over ten plays.
Speaker 5: You had, you know, the two touchdown drives, and I
Speaker 5: mean one of them only took five plays, like you
Speaker 5: know that. That's where I would have been looking, was
Speaker 5: that this defense just doesn't have the horses anymore.
Speaker 1: To GA, we're talking about all the things the Patriots
Speaker 1: did well offensively today. They kept Buffalo off balance, they
Speaker 1: only punted twice. They were able to put move the
Speaker 1: ball and put points on the board. The Bills only
Speaker 1: punted once all day, All games, especially.
Speaker 5: In the second half where it was touchdown, they fourth down,
Speaker 5: but then touchdown downs, touchdown, touch.
Speaker 1: They also missed the field goal, you know, like they
Speaker 1: both teams moved the ball pretty well today. I still
Speaker 1: think the defense there that's there's issues. I thought. I
Speaker 1: thought the defense was as good as you could expect exactly,
Speaker 1: and I don't know what. I don't know what you're expecting.
Speaker 1: You need as much effort out of them going forward
Speaker 1: as they gave today.
Speaker 4: And I apologize for the quick hang up, but I
Speaker 4: wanted to get to your call. I didn't want to
Speaker 4: leave you hanging.
Speaker 5: Chad him on his opportunity to go by every time
Speaker 5: Chad call hanging Chad.
Speaker 4: Okay, it's a it's a two thousand election reference read
Speaker 4: and I can talk to you about it. Off.
Speaker 1: Don't let him get by you.
Speaker 11: But I think it's bush league.
Speaker 4: Oh. Now we're cooking with Chris.
Speaker 1: We're feeling good, Stafford smelling ourselves.
Speaker 4: Nat in Santa Cruz before we hear from Mac, go ahead,
Speaker 4: nat Hey, did.
Speaker 9: I did I hear Bill right?
Speaker 15: Asked Mike about it.
Speaker 1: He'll talk He'll talk to Mike about him.
Speaker 4: Yeah. There was an email from John in the UK
Speaker 4: who wanted to know about that too. I hope Bill
Speaker 4: keeps him there. Well, Bill's gonna talk to him. See
Speaker 4: how when who feels about that?
Speaker 1: I think it's just something like you talk about his
Speaker 1: comfort level, his his physical he's still dealing with an
Speaker 1: ankle problem. Yeah, I think there's a lot that goes
Speaker 1: into that. It's not like saying that is it.
Speaker 4: Okay with you?
Speaker 11: Also, the players their positions correct. It's not like that's
Speaker 11: the new paper.
Speaker 1: It's hey, Mike, is it okay? Is it okay? If
Speaker 1: I play you at right tackle? That's not what he
Speaker 1: meant on my watch?
Speaker 14: No, okay, okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 16: And then my other thing, my other point, just real quick,
Speaker 16: I really missed.
Speaker 15: James White today, that type of back. I felt like
Speaker 15: that was really missing.
Speaker 12: Yeah, they haven't had that reliable guy for a while.
Speaker 5: No, Yeah, I gotta be honest though, Like in theory,
Speaker 5: I don't say I don't hate what they're doing between
Speaker 5: just like, let's just have two big backs that can
Speaker 5: both catch a little bit, they can both pass protect
Speaker 5: and not get so caught up in being so specialized
Speaker 5: from down to down. I mean I like it in
Speaker 5: theory obviously, in practice, it hasn't been productive, and you know,
Speaker 5: they're still trying to find a way to really make
Speaker 5: it effective. So I do agree generally with the overall point.
Speaker 5: But I think in a perfect world you'd love to
Speaker 5: live in that kind of place where you're not, you know,
Speaker 5: tied so much to each guy for each down and
Speaker 5: the defense knows what's coming.
Speaker 1: It's just generally you've got to deal with two big guys.
Speaker 4: Well, James Whiten is, you know, typical the humble way
Speaker 4: told me that he thought that Remandre could take his,
Speaker 4: you know place and fill that role, and I think,
Speaker 4: you know, for lack of anyone else, it's kind of
Speaker 4: who it could be. But it's nothing.
Speaker 1: No, it's not the same.
Speaker 4: Let's hear from the quarterback, shall we. Mac Jones after
Speaker 4: the twenty nine to twenty five win over the Bills
Speaker 4: that you let stadium today.
Speaker 1: Here's Mac mac after over here, after you guys had
Speaker 1: such a tough start to the season.
Speaker 23: Just how good does this feel?
Speaker 14: And what does it do for a locker room to
Speaker 14: get a win over this Bills team today?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 22: I think just keep fighting, and you know it's just
Speaker 22: a crumb, right, That's what I always say, and you
Speaker 22: got to build off that. You got to build off
Speaker 22: that and attack every day the same. And it's all
Speaker 22: about playing for each other, playing for the guy next
Speaker 22: to you, and understanding why. So we did that today
Speaker 22: and we need to continue to do that, you know,
Speaker 22: every day in practice and in the games.
Speaker 1: Mac I was talking to Godscha in the locker room
Speaker 1: and he said he came up to you before the
Speaker 1: drive and told you to be.
Speaker 4: Like Mike and Coch.
Speaker 18: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask what your interaction was like.
Speaker 11: Yeah, dg.
Speaker 22: Ever since I've gotten here, he's been one of my close,
Speaker 22: my close buddies, and he keeps it loose. He's funny,
Speaker 22: he makes plays out there, and I know he has
Speaker 22: confidence in me, and that means a lot to me,
Speaker 22: you know, as a younger player compared to him who's
Speaker 22: been in the league for a little bit, and he's
Speaker 22: done a great job. And I want to continue to
Speaker 22: do that and make people believe.
Speaker 1: Back after you know, after the last three weeks, how
Speaker 1: were you able to stay confident and stay composed and
Speaker 1: what would you attribute to just being able to bounce
Speaker 1: back here?
Speaker 22: Yeah, I think just sticking to the process, like I
Speaker 22: talk about it's hard when the results aren't there, but
Speaker 22: continue to do that, continue to get better. I feel
Speaker 22: like definitely we left some stuff out there as always,
Speaker 22: but at the end of the day, we fought back
Speaker 22: in the offensive line especially just gave me the time
Speaker 22: that I needed today, and you know, when I have time,
Speaker 22: I can do and read the offense how we're supposed to.
Speaker 22: And I really appreciate those guys.
Speaker 3: MAC might just put you on the spot, what's the
Speaker 3: first play you remember from today's game.
Speaker 1: What's the one that's going to stick with you.
Speaker 22: I mean, I don't really like look at a certain play, honestly.
Speaker 22: I think for me, it's all about the team, right,
Speaker 22: So you think about, you know, whether it was a
Speaker 22: good punt that Bryce had to put them down there
Speaker 22: or whatever. And that's something that I always look at.
Speaker 22: Special teams, defense, interception early like, that's amazing, right, we
Speaker 22: start the game like that. It brings the energy all
Speaker 22: that stuff, and then really just the offensive lines play
Speaker 22: today was what really stood out to me. They made
Speaker 22: everything work. Run game, passing game, and you know, I
Speaker 22: had a couple plays where I dropped my eyes and
Speaker 22: that's not on them, that's on me. So I definitely
Speaker 22: think about some of the things I could do better
Speaker 22: versus some of the things.
Speaker 4: That we did.
Speaker 10: Mac.
Speaker 30: When you were asked about de Vaughn, you said something
Speaker 30: about you want to make people believe.
Speaker 11: Yeah, how much did.
Speaker 30: That last drive maybe help in terms of your belief
Speaker 30: in yourself?
Speaker 22: I always believe in myself. I have a lot of
Speaker 22: confidence in myself. And I'm not gonna sit up here
Speaker 22: and say it every time, but I do believe in myself,
Speaker 22: and I do that through work and all that stuff.
Speaker 22: And that's why football is the greatest team sport. It's
Speaker 22: it's the quarterback. You know, they go, you guys, your
Speaker 22: quarterback goes. So for me, just continuing to be the
Speaker 22: same guy every day and just beat Mac.
Speaker 30: How far do you think that drive can help, maybe
Speaker 30: in terms of garnering more belief from your teammates.
Speaker 22: Yeah, I think just continue to do it. Like I said,
Speaker 22: it's just a crumb, and just keep picking up those
Speaker 22: crumbs and eventually you have a whole whole loaf of bread.
Speaker 22: So that's my goal. Just continue to work, continue to
Speaker 22: be Mac, like I said, And it's just one game, right,
Speaker 22: you know. I always say that regardless of the results.
Speaker 22: So gotta you know, do it again, Gotta fight every
Speaker 22: day and practice hard.
Speaker 27: I yeah, Max, So you talked about being mac and
Speaker 27: I know a couple of weeks ago you mentioned you
Speaker 27: want to be have fun, you want to be animated,
Speaker 27: and I know there were times where you let people
Speaker 27: know when things weren't going right. Was there something that
Speaker 27: really changed or do you feel like you just kind
Speaker 27: of hit your stride a little bit in the past.
Speaker 29: Couple of weeks.
Speaker 22: Yeah, Taylor, I think biggest thing is like always being me,
Speaker 22: you know, through the ups and downs, and a lot
Speaker 22: of times like people will look at you when you're
Speaker 22: maybe not all the way up right, you know that
Speaker 22: you're kind of you're not doing too good or whatever,
Speaker 22: and they want to see how you respond. So that's
Speaker 22: what I focus on, is the response and the process,
Speaker 22: the process. Every day, stick to my process, adjust my process,
Speaker 22: and then try and you know, carry that onto the field.
Speaker 22: So regardless of everything around you, when you stick to
Speaker 22: the process, you know, it usually turns out good. Eventually.
Speaker 28: It could have been about two years since your last
Speaker 28: fourth quarter comeback or game winning drive. What felt different
Speaker 28: in those last two minutes this time than it had
Speaker 28: in games past when you didn't come up with the
Speaker 28: game winning drive.
Speaker 22: Yeah, I think when you look at all of them,
Speaker 22: I've looked at all of them a lot. There's a
Speaker 22: lot of things that go on around and I have
Speaker 22: to continue to focus on my job and continuing to
Speaker 22: read the plays out how I'm supposed to and just
Speaker 22: lower my pulse and go out there and execute. I
Speaker 22: think that's what I told the guys in the huddle.
Speaker 22: Just take a deep breath and let's go do it.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 22: It's half of it's just belief and then the other
Speaker 22: half is execution. So got to continue to grow on that.
Speaker 22: And I think when you look at the other ones,
Speaker 22: when you look back, it's it's hard, right because you
Speaker 22: wish you had more. But I'm gonna look at the
Speaker 22: positive and grow on this and do it every time
Speaker 22: I get it.
Speaker 4: Thanks for all, right, There goes Mac Jones as the
Speaker 4: Patriots get a win today at home against the Bills.
Speaker 4: One final email here, Hey Hardy, you need to up
Speaker 4: the theater during email reading. Each one should be read
Speaker 4: in a more ridiculous cadence than the last. Just ask
Speaker 4: Fred about how many ways you can say, let's go
Speaker 4: places right? Great, to get the win. Glad for Mac
Speaker 4: still wants someone else next year, and barring Frez miracle
Speaker 4: twelve and five, I don't think that'll change the opinion.
Speaker 4: Keep up the great workmark from Chetta.
Speaker 1: All right, So yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4: How many different ways can you say, let's go place,
Speaker 4: Let's I'm still working places causes, let us let us
Speaker 4: go all right? Final thoughts on this game today, Deuce,
Speaker 4: you're up first.
Speaker 5: That was a fun game, enjoyable for the fans, enjoyable
Speaker 5: to cover and watch, and so that's nice. But you know,
Speaker 5: it's just that gets harder next week with Miami that
Speaker 5: the offense is firing all cylinders. This is a banged
Speaker 5: up Patriots defense, So you know, as much you want
Speaker 5: to take some time to feel good about what they
Speaker 5: did today, and we certainly should to really get the
Speaker 5: season back on track. You're looking to go down to
Speaker 5: Miami and try to pull off an upset down there, which.
Speaker 1: Is a tough, tough task.
Speaker 5: So excited to see them play later tonight, see kind
Speaker 5: of what they're doing up there. But going to Miami,
Speaker 5: we know what it's been like in the past, So
Speaker 5: got a cowboy up again, Fred.
Speaker 12: This was the featured game in Germany on their network
Speaker 12: RTL that had the NFL rights, and so I'm just
Speaker 12: happy that good for business. We could do this for
Speaker 12: our home market, Deutscheln I was.
Speaker 4: I was unable to help the German broadcast Fatherland. They
Speaker 4: were asking me for for in game stats out in
Speaker 4: the hallway. I was trying to get myself Germans.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get.
Speaker 4: Do you have the stats, statistical analysis? I don't know
Speaker 4: what accent that is. I said, our guys just get
Speaker 4: it online, and then he said online and he went
Speaker 4: back in the booth. I don't know. I'm sorry, Sorry,
Speaker 4: I couldn't help.
Speaker 11: Paul.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would echo a lot of the stuff that
Speaker 1: Mike said. I thought that they made a lot of
Speaker 1: big plays when they had to, and they flipped the
Speaker 1: script a little bit when they needed to make plays.
Speaker 1: Today they were the ones making them, and I thought
Speaker 1: they had Buffalo on their heels for the most part
Speaker 1: throughout the game. It was a really good, uh entertaining
Speaker 1: football game.
Speaker 4: It was it was, and that's my I mean, I'm
Speaker 4: happy for the win. I'm happy for Mac, but I
Speaker 4: feel like a theater goer like John the pa from
Speaker 4: from NYPD Blue. When he met the actor, he said,
Speaker 4: thank you.
Speaker 24: For the evening, and I think that's what you're supposed
Speaker 24: to say, thank you for the impy if Mike Vrabel
Speaker 24: and Dante Scarnakia that we could put up a win
Speaker 24: for their their game, right right on?
Speaker 4: All right, Well, we're going to meet back here next week.
Speaker 4: The Patriots will be in Miami, but we will be here.
Speaker 4: Fred will be U beach, oh my god, clubbing, yeah,
Speaker 4: probably rolling on X trying to get it together for
Speaker 4: the game. Whatever it takes. Whatever, let's go places in
Speaker 4: your music. Show. So thank you for listening and watching.
