He was kind of a dual 3 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: roll player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even 4 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: in the scredit beard of normalcy. It's a new generation 5 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: of Bills fans with a high stakes game tonight, a 6 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: step away from the super Bowl, and no matter what happens, 7 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 1: a bright future ahead orcast left. Puts it into the air. 8 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: Hardman standing in his eleven yard line, drops it, mumps it, 9 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: loose ball looks like it d recovered by the Buffalo. 10 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: When he goes into the enddowne Josh takes the snap, 11 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: keep it himself, throws it the knocks makes the catch 12 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 1: at the three, goes into the end zone. Touchdown. Touchdown. 13 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: Buffalo hands it off to Williams. Charges up the middle 14 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: and he's getting near the end zone? Is he in? Yes? Touchdown? 15 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: Kansas City a six yard touchdown run by Darryl Williams. 16 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: Buster receivers right side Edwards Hilaire to the left, the 17 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: snap to give to Headwards. Hilare cruises into the end zone. Touchdown. 18 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: Kansas City a one yard touchdown run by Clyde Edwards Hilaire, 19 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,199 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes will take a shotgun snap Mahomes little flip 20 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: underhand at the Kelsey powers his way into the end 21 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: zone for the touchdown. Travis Kelsey a one yard touchdown 22 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: pass underhanded from Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs score again. 23 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: With thirty six seconds left, the Chiefs can celebrate their 24 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: headed back to the Super Bowl for the second consecutive year. 25 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: They'll get the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They are a handful 26 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: to defend, no question about it, and then they showed 27 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: it here tonight. That is your Toshiba game. Rewind the 28 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: official copier company of the Buffalo Bills. A different kind 29 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: of Monday than the ones we had become pleasantly accustomed to. 30 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: Welcome into one Bills Live on a very somber and 31 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: solemn Monday as the Bills exciting, entertaining and flat out 32 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: fun season came to a close in Kansas City yesterday 33 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: in the AFC Title Game. Chris Brown Steve Tasker with 34 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: you and an unfortunate close to a very exciting season. 35 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: Certainly a lot to look forward to going forward. But 36 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: we are going to try to digest this game today 37 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: and be the best form of therapy for you. The 38 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: Bills fan because I know the hopes were high, and 39 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: all those hopes got dashed in unceremonious order. By about 40 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: the third quarter yesterday, it became readily apparent that the 41 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 1: Bills were just not going to be able to keep 42 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: up with what looked like, once again a juggernaut offense 43 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,119 Speaker 1: that virtually nobody in the league can stop when they're 44 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: playing their best football. And the Bills got caught by 45 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: a team that really hats off to the Chiefs. And 46 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: in the biggest games so far they've played this year, 47 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: they played their best game. In the two months leading 48 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: up to this game, they were not putting teams away, 49 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: and we're not playing at the level they played yesterday 50 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: against the Bills. They put on a show yesterday, and 51 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: hats off to them. They deserve to go to the 52 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: super Bowl, and they'll probably play very well there as well. 53 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: They'll have to against the Tampa Bay But that Chief's 54 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: team is the one that looked like the defending world champions, 55 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: the number one seed in the conference. They absolutely played 56 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: fantastic yesterday. And I know you and I discussed even 57 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: coming down the stretch of the regular season, we openly wondered, 58 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: you know, the Chiefs just have it on cruise control 59 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: right now? Are they not interested in regular season football? 60 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: And Steve and I suspected as much. I think that 61 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: was confirmed yesterday, biggest game of the year. They put 62 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: the pedal to the floor and said try and keep up, 63 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: and the Bills couldn't, not for various reasons. But we 64 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: want your thoughts on the game yesterday. What'd you like? 65 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: What'd you not like? What did you think could have 66 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: been done? You know, maybe a little bit differently? Where 67 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: were they coming up short? What was the most glaring 68 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: area that kept them from keeping pace with the Chiefs yesterday? 69 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: I think we all went into the game knowing the 70 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: Bills were going to have to play their best game 71 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: to have a shot at winning the football game. Their 72 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: level best was going to be required to beat this 73 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: Chiefs team. And even with an early gift in the 74 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: early stages of that game, you know, the mishandled punt 75 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: by Hardman and essentially being gifted at six points is 76 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: what it ended up being. Because they missed the extra point. 77 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: Being gifted six points, it was still not nearly enough 78 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: based on the execution of the football team yesterday. That's right, 79 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: And you know you've got to that first half when 80 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey absolutely killed them. Then they came out in 81 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: the second half and it was Tyreek Hill who killed them. 82 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: And they're the thing that is different about last night. 83 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: Coming into that game, the Chiefs were like twenty six 84 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: in the league in red zone defense, and they had 85 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: struggled in red zone offense over the last two months 86 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: as well, and I thought that's where the Bills may 87 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: be able to hang in there with this team, and 88 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: it was completely reversed. And of course, and Sean mcdermam 89 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: has taken a ton of criticism for not going forward 90 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: on fourth and two and fourth and it's real short 91 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: inside the five yard line and taken three points in 92 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: both those instances, and that really was part of a 93 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: lot of the difference in the game. You get, you 94 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: leave eight points on the board, even if you score 95 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: touchdowns there and kicked the extra points you get, you 96 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: get fourteen points instead of six, and you're eight points 97 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: down from where you could have been had you scored. Now, 98 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: they ended up getting beat by fourteen, but you know, 99 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: you never have the game transpires from there. You really 100 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: had a feeling and I think the coaching staff really 101 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: were feeling it. In the fact when they were looking 102 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: out there, they were that offensive. The Chiefs was a load, 103 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: was a load to stop, and they were trying to 104 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: get as many points as they can to kind of 105 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: keep themselves in striking distance. Yeah, and while I can 106 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: respect all of that, I think everybody in the building 107 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,679 Speaker 1: knows if you're going to keep pace with the Chiefs, 108 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: you got to score touchdowns. And so when you have 109 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: an opportunity to score touchdowns, you should try to score 110 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: the touchdown. And I totally get where coach McDermott was 111 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: coming from last night when he was asked about it, 112 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: and he said, look, I just felt like we needed 113 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: points there to go into the locker room feeling you 114 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: had some kind of momentum and knowing the Chiefs were 115 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: getting the ball first in the second half. I think 116 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: you can flip that argument around just as easily and 117 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: justify a touchdown and say the Chiefs are getting the 118 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: ball first in the second half. They just ripped off 119 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: twenty one points on three straight possessions. Our defense has 120 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: not been able to stop them. You have to consider 121 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: both sides. We need seven here and you gotta yeah, 122 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: and you gotta consider both sides of the argument, so 123 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: they go for and four they don't get it either 124 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: time games over before halftime. Well, you can certainly make 125 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: that argument, but I think you could just as easily 126 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: justify going for it there. And if you get the touchdown, 127 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: now it's twenty one sixteen, yes, so one score. It's 128 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: a one possession game. And if you look at it 129 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: the way the game was going at the time, Chiefs 130 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: were on fire, twenty one points three span in three 131 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: possessions straight in ten minutes, ten minutes of game time, 132 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: ten minutes of game time, they had three touches. You 133 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: need to sustained drive. You can make the argument you 134 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: need the touchdown there otherwise you're gonna fall precariously behind. 135 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: And if you don't get it, you don't get it, 136 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: and you probably don't deserve to win the football game. 137 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: If you can't get two yards to reach the end 138 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: zone in the AFC title game, you probably don't deserve 139 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: to win the game. So that's why I think you 140 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: can just as easily justify going for the touchdown there 141 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: as you can for just trying to put points on 142 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: the board, get some momentum, feel like you're you're moving 143 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: in a positive direction. I just think with the way 144 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: that Chiefs team plays football, it's very hard to keep 145 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: up kicking field goal. It's hard to say, listen, all right, 146 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna, we're getta and that's and you know, it's 147 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: easy to say. I guess it's easy for us to 148 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: sit here and say, listen, you gotta you gotta go 149 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: for it, go forward. Hindsight, I don't deny that you 150 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: gotta go forward, go Ford, go for it. Uh. And 151 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: you kind of in retrospect, you think, you know that 152 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 1: looking back at the way that game transpired, that was 153 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: the only hope you had at the very end. I mean, 154 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: you were going to have to hit on all your 155 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: opportunities to beat that team. And coach McDermott even said 156 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: after the game, with the two fourth downs with which 157 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: he was presented in the game, fourth and goal at 158 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: the two and fourth down in three, I think it 159 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: was inside the ten yard line. Later in the game, 160 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: he was of the opinion, looking back on it, that 161 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: maybe he should have gone for it on one of 162 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: the two. He felt that way twenty minutes after the 163 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: game was over. Yeah, and with the speed and pace 164 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: at which Kansas City was scoring seemingly at will I mean, 165 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you're getting the seven. I'm not saying 166 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: you're getting even getting the first down on fourth and 167 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: three inside the ten. But I don't know it. There's 168 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: part of me that says, just take your swings and 169 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: if you don't get it, you don't get it. But 170 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: if you do get it, East and look in the 171 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: grand scheme of things, if they score the touchdown at 172 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: the end of the first half, and they score a 173 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: touchdown off of fourth and three at the ten, it's 174 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: still not enough, still not enough, it's still now. That 175 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: doesn't and the Chiefs had That doesn't excuse how you 176 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: feel about the decision making. But even if, even if 177 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, if you bring it close and you're eight, 178 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: and you bring it to and it would have been 179 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: six points at the end of the game, Chiefs had 180 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: the ball four minutes ago and ran the clock out right, 181 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: couldn't get it back. You couldn't get it back. But again, 182 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: and you can look need to score, they would score. 183 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: And you can look at the Green Bay game in 184 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: much the same fashion. I mean, the Green Bay game, 185 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: they're down eight, I can't remember the time on the clock, 186 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 1: but they've got fourth and goal and that was what 187 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: what the fourth and goal from the eight yard line, 188 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: and they elected a little further. They elect to kick 189 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: the field goal instead of taking a shot at the 190 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: end zone. And what were they down eight? So they 191 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,719 Speaker 1: cut it to five and they needed the ball back 192 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: and they never got it. And they never got the 193 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: ball back. Yeah, that was just over two minutes remaining, right. 194 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: I don't know how you got me. I don't know. 195 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: I was I was in the booth here, he felt, 196 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: and I had no audio of that game. He felt 197 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: with the way the defense was playing, David Lafleur felt 198 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: that his defense could get the ball back for them. 199 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: They did not, And and you know that goes out 200 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: the windows. So you know you're trying. I understand there's 201 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: there is a popular coaching approach that if you're behind 202 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: and you're trying to climb into the game, you have 203 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: a scoring opportunity. The three seems like more of the 204 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: sure thing in terms of getting the points. But you know, 205 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: with the analytics that a lot of these coaches go 206 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: into these games with. Now they have live analytics being 207 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: provided to them, and I'm sure they're being given the percentages, 208 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: and if the percentages are marginal, in terms of difference 209 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: in win probability that I think a lot of coaches 210 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: still even today, air on the side of caution and 211 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: go with the kick because they can see the kick 212 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: as more sure fire points. This is where less can 213 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: go wrong on a kick than on a play involving twenty. 214 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: It's it's it seemingly for sure points, but we're in there. 215 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: You get into a spot last game of the season, 216 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: whether it's the Super Bowl, Championship game, Division around, or 217 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: the wild card like the Bills were in last year, 218 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: you come down to the point where I think in 219 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,079 Speaker 1: this case, a lot of the narrative has been like, oh, 220 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: the Bills got out coach, because McDermot didn't go for 221 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: it on those two fourth downs. They got outplayed as well, 222 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: and their talent level was not up to snuff with 223 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: keeping up with Kansas Cities off and that, and that 224 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: is the biggest separator in this game as I see it. 225 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: We can talk about the fourth down decisions all day long. 226 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: Much like the Houston playoff game last year, they got 227 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: flat out out executed in this game yesterday. Well, they 228 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: on the field of play, right, they had you think 229 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: about this when when your team goes out there and 230 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: you've got a couple of guys like Travis Kelsey and 231 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill and Mikole Hardman as an addition to that, 232 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: also Clyde Edwards Hilaire. You go out there and those 233 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: guys are playing at such a high level. If you 234 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: can't keep up with them, all of a sudden you're thinking, oh, 235 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: why can't our coaches find an answer? Well, there's no 236 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: answer for a guy. They're really twenty one miles per hour, right, 237 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: you don't have an answer for that. I was telling 238 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: the guys coming in this morning in the control room, 239 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: I have like a racing bike, you know, thin tires. 240 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's an old bike, but it's got 241 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: the thin tires. You can move on that thing. Right, 242 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: I have to work really hard to get to twenty 243 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: one miles per hour on my racing bike. Right, that 244 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: guy runs twenty one miles an hour every game in 245 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: pads and a helmet, every game in pads and a helmet. 246 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: I think it does look like it does look like 247 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: you get out coached when you've got guys that can't 248 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: answer the talent level of that other team. Well, and 249 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: that's the problem because what they do is they take 250 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: their elite athletes Hill who runs a four to nine, 251 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: Hardman who runs a four to three three, and Travis Kelsey, 252 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: and what they do is they stretch you horizontally with 253 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: the pre snap motion that you have to respect because 254 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: if you let someone with that speed outflank you to 255 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: the edge and they get the ball, it's over. It's 256 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: a touchdown. So you have to respect it and cheat 257 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: that way to maintain your outside leverage on that kind 258 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: of a player. Then they run something up inside with 259 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: the football while you're out here on the left trying 260 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: to keep your leverage on this guy. And there are 261 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: huge seams and voids in your defense that they exploit 262 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: every single week. And even when you try to corral 263 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: somebody like Hill, I mean, it's just he's on a 264 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:08,239 Speaker 1: different level that no one can match that has two legs. Yeah, 265 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: that's why it's called the cheetah. And that's you know, 266 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: it's a it's a crusher, and it's something that you 267 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: you know you can and here's the thing, you have 268 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: to like almost play it. So you got to keep 269 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: leverage on me. You can't like run Adam or Hill 270 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: SIDESTEPU and run around the edge and and just get 271 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: around you and all of a sudden he's gone. You've 272 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: got to hem him in a lot like the Bills 273 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: did successfully with Lamar Jackson last week. You got to 274 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: kind of heard him in front of him when you 275 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: when you do heard this guy. What if you you're 276 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: out there and you're trying to hurt him in the 277 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: ball and the ball goes somewhere else you got And 278 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: it takes a group of guys to defend a guy 279 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: like Tyreek Hill with his speed, Well, that group of 280 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: guys spreads you thin all every place else where Travis 281 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: Kelsey is and and uh Edwards Hilari is. I mean 282 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: they're there, you know that offense of the Kansas City Chief. 283 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: This is a juggernaut, absolute juggernaut, and it's run by 284 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: a quarterback who's really sharp and mobile, makes great decisions 285 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: and can throw the ball. They're a handful. Now, they 286 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: haven't been playing as well as they did last night 287 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: for a month or two, but they haven't been getting 288 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: beat e then. And I'm of the opinion that they 289 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: didn't really care all that much, and that's why they 290 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: didn't they blow anybody out of the water. In the 291 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: regular cities. They dropped two games this year early to 292 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: the Raiders in Buffalo in Kansas City, in Kansas City, 293 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: And are you talking about the Chiefs of the Bill 294 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Yea, they dropped a game in Kansas City 295 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: to the Raiders. It was like a vision quest for 296 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: John Gruden and Derek Carr. And then they dropped week 297 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: seventeen with Chad Henny, with Chad Henney and a lot 298 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: of backups. Yeah, and they absolutely remind me of you 299 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: know that they for a longer period there were games 300 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: like that, you know, for the nineties team, and there 301 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: are other teams around where you just run out there 302 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: and after about a quarter you think they can't. They 303 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: got no answer for us, you know. And they were 304 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: like that with just about every team they played this year, right, 305 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: And just to illustrate the point even more with their 306 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: pre snap motion and their shifts and how it gets 307 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: defensive players leaning or cheating, you know, in respect of 308 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: the speed or whatever is being thrown at them, potentially 309 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: that they have to account for motions or shifts on 310 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: eighty two percent of their plays last night. That was 311 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: a season high. Eighty two percent of their snaps offensively 312 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: had either a pre snap motion or a shift. They 313 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: do it to get defensive players moving and shifting out 314 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: of the way of where they're actually going with the football. 315 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: And I mean, the defensive players for the Bills had 316 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: to feel like they were just chasing stuff all night 317 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: long because they were. They weren't stopping a whole lot. 318 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: They were chasing a lot of chasing last night. Yeah, 319 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: and they got And it's not because they're a bad defense. 320 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: It's because the Chiefs. Chiefs are that good at their 321 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: speed and they run their motions. It used to be 322 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: back in the day, and it's so funny to think 323 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: back about the old days now because you see these 324 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: guys kind of trot across in motion, you know, And 325 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: nowadays these guys are sprinting across the field and the 326 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: defense really is forced to a get in position quicker 327 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 1: and be communicate more clearly and louder and faster, make 328 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: decisions faster, and it puts a lot of stress on them. There. 329 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 1: This Chief's offense is the newest and best great offense 330 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: in the league right now. I don't know how long 331 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 1: it'll last, you know, you can say that, hey, you know, 332 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes gonna have a long career and he probably 333 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: will and a lot of their players probably will be 334 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: around for a while. Kelsey and ty Tyreek Hill. They'll 335 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: hang onto those guys for as long as they can. 336 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: But for the time being, these guys are it in 337 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: the NFL. This is the offense. And you know, we've 338 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: kind of known that from here in Buffalo. You watched 339 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: him from Afar. They, you know, scored twenty six points 340 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: on the Bills, and the Bills let him run the 341 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: football a little bit. That wasn't what we saw yesterday. 342 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: Two hundred and ninety two of Patrick mahomes three hundred 343 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: and twenty five passing yards went to Hill or Kelsey. 344 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: And we all know that Hill is fast. Everybody is 345 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: aware that he is one of the fastest players in 346 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: the league. The elusiveness of his skill set was most 347 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: illustrated to me. When he gets to pass out in 348 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: the flat, Tredavious White is in position to make a tackle. 349 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: The sideline is three yards to his left Tyreek Hill's right. 350 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: Tredavius tries to be techniques out and instead of lunging 351 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: at him, breaks down wide stands to make a wrap 352 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: up tackle. In the time he took to get off 353 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 1: his toes break down, Tyreek took one step to the 354 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: right and was past him, did a sidestep to the right, 355 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: exploded forward and Tredevious was grabbing at air and I'm 356 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: thinking to myself, that's an all pro corner. He just 357 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: did that too, with two yards of space along the 358 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 1: sideline and Tavius didn't even touch him, like, not even 359 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: a hand on him at all. We've seen that with 360 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill a couple of times during like in the 361 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: Dolphins game. That's the exact same thing. That guy's a 362 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: phenomenal I think that's one of the things about it. Yes, fast, okay, 363 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: but also change the direction and explosion and ability to 364 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: get around in tight spaces is unique to Tyreek's skill set. 365 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: Um Chiefs are a great team and they played like 366 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: it last night that the Bills couldn't answer. That drove 367 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: it home for me, Like I saw that against arguably 368 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: one of the two best defensive players on the roster, 369 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 1: and I said, oh boy, it's just they can measure 370 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: up to the elite physical talent that the Chiefs put 371 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: on the field. It's just it's not going to happen. 372 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: And you say, well, wait a second, I thought White 373 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: was an elite player. He is He is an elite player. 374 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: But Tredevious White's skill level is rooted in his commitment 375 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: to air tight technique. And there's only one thing that 376 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: beats airtight technique. It's elite physical talent. And the Chiefs 377 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: have it. Not only in Hill, they have it in Kelsey. 378 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: I mean a six six man should not be able 379 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: to move around like that, he avoid tacklers like that, 380 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: leap five yards through the air and almost reach the 381 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: pylon for a touchdown. I mean, what they are doing, 382 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: there's probably only a handful of players people on the 383 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 1: planet that can do what they do. And you say, 384 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: how do you measure up to that? I hate to 385 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: say it. You've got to kind of find the same 386 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: kind of eleape physical talent and put it on the field, 387 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: and or you've got to dominate that team um someplace 388 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: else physically, physical size and just muscle them around. You 389 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 1: got to That's what they did defensively to the Bills 390 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: receiving corps yesterday, right, And you've also got to either 391 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: that or get it. At the other end. You've got 392 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: to send people after Mahomes. You've got to have four 393 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: guys that can get to the passer quick. UM, that 394 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: would help. But even then you've got my homes who 395 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: can run around and all of that. But uh, you know, 396 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: and that's UM, it's a tough game. It was a 397 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: it was a tough game. As it was a great season. 398 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: Loved it it, loved all of it. And to go 399 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: into that game, you knew you were gonna have to 400 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: play your best to beat the Chiefs, um, and if 401 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: they played their best, you got to give him the edge, 402 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: and certainly they did. I'd be hard pressed, um for 403 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: the to find somebody that who didn't think the Chiefs 404 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 1: played as good a football as they played in a 405 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: couple of months. And we'll get into this more as 406 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: the show goes on, but the Bills did not play 407 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: up to the level of play that they had demonstrated 408 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: down this stretch in the regular season, particularly on the 409 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. They came up short there 410 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: in a lot of areas. And I'm going to go 411 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: down some statistical figures in terms of the difference between 412 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: the regular season and the postseason that are rather eye opening. 413 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: I think you expect to dip in some areas because 414 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: of the level of competition you're playing in the playoffs, 415 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: but there were some precipitous drops in some of their 416 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: efficiencies on offense. We'll go over that, but when we 417 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: come back, because we have to take a break right now, 418 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,959 Speaker 1: Eric Wood will join us to give us his thoughts 419 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: on this game, break it down for us, and where 420 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: he saw the Bills coming up short in this one 421 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: against a juggernaut of a Chiefs team that looks destined 422 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: to win its second straight Super Bowl. Steve Tasker Chris 423 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: Brown back in a moment here on One Bills Live 424 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome 425 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: back to One Bills Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, a 426 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: therapeutic Monday edition of One Bill's Live and joining us 427 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: now to digest and perhaps even lament the outcome of 428 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: yesterday's game one. Eric Wood is joining us as he 429 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: does every Monday, to kind of break down and share 430 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: his thoughts on the game that was. And Eric, this 431 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: was a tough pill for everybody to swallow, naturally. What 432 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: are the high headline things that stuck out to you 433 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:36,199 Speaker 1: in terms of the way this game unfolded for you yesterday? Well, 434 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 1: Kansas City's offense is on a different level, and when 435 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: they're executing, they're so tough to be you know, at 436 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: times of the Bills try to get more aggressive and 437 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: bring pressure, and Mahomes would just beat them immediately with 438 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 1: the ball. And then when they tried to play off coverage, 439 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: he's so good at taking those underneath shots. And then 440 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: their guys are so skilled, Tyreek Hill in particular getting 441 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: up the field and getting tend to fifteen yards a 442 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: clip on a throw that's really an extended handoff. They're 443 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: great with their jet sweeps. They're just creative offensively. You know, 444 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 1: as I think about this offense and what you need 445 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: to do moving forward, if you're an AFC team to 446 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs is you almost have to get your 447 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: personnel on defense adjusted, almost like teams had two against 448 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 1: Gronk and Hernandez. You had to get bigger linebackers that 449 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: could also move, or bigger safeties or more athletic linebackers 450 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: so then you could cover those two guys because they 451 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: were such a tough matchup. Well, when you got Hardman 452 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 1: and Hill and Kelsey and all these weapons on the outside, 453 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: you almost got to go say, man, we need three 454 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: guys that can play man coverage. That can run with 455 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: these guys, and I know that's a that's easier said 456 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: than done, but if you want to hold them, you 457 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: gotta go out and get a secondary almost like Baltimore has, 458 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: where you got three guys three corners that can truly cover. 459 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: And not that ours camp, but in situational football, you know, 460 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: it is what it is. Tarren Johnson's a great nickel 461 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: cornerback and in the Bills system he's excellent, but he's 462 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: not going to run one on one with Tyreek Hill. 463 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 1: You know, when they put him in the slot. We 464 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: saw him getting exposed a few times last night, so 465 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: that stuck out to me a lot. You know, offensively, 466 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: they benefited early from a muffed punt, but I thought 467 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: coming into the game, similar to last week, that when 468 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: you have teams that are fairly evenly matched, it comes 469 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: down to touchdown red zone percentage, and the Bills went 470 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: two for five in the red zone scoring touchdowns, one 471 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: of which was when they picked up the fumble on 472 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: the three yard line, so essentially one for four in 473 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: true red zone opportunities. Kansas City goes five for six. Well, 474 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 1: both the Bills and Kansas City struggled on defense and 475 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: giving up touchdowns in the red zone in the season, 476 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: I believe the Bills were twenty eighth and Kansas City 477 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: was dead last, And so for the Bills not to 478 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 1: be able to cap off those drives after being really 479 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,479 Speaker 1: successful on offense throughout the season was disappointing because you 480 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: know that when you're going to play, when you're playing 481 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: a team in an offensive like Kansas City's, you're not 482 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: going to be able to settle for field goals and 483 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: beat them. So with that in mind, obviously, there's been 484 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: much consternation from the fan base about fourth and goal 485 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: of the two at the end of the first half 486 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: and then the other fourth and three inside the ten 487 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: yard line in the second half and choosing to take 488 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: short field goals there. You already mentioned the Chiefs had 489 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: the worst red zone defense in the football in the 490 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: regular season. Coach McDermott after the game did say, looking 491 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 1: back on it, he probably would have gone for one 492 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: of those two, didn't say which, presumably the one in 493 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: the second half when time started running out on them. 494 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: But where you kind of come down, because I think 495 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 1: you can justify his thinking at the end of the 496 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: first half in saying I wanted to get points on 497 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: the board, go into the half with momentum knowing they 498 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: were getting the ball. But at the same time, Eric, 499 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: they had just ripped off twenty one points in the 500 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: span of ten minutes a game clock and a touchdown 501 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: at least makes it a one possession game at that point. 502 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: Where do you how do you view that? Obviously, so 503 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: see both sides of the spectrum here, because if you 504 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: get stuffed there and you're going into halftime with a 505 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,360 Speaker 1: chance that you had it could it could have got 506 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: points on the board, and you get stuffed, you know, 507 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: your momentum could be just completely shot. You could be 508 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: deflated going into the half. Instead, you get points and 509 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: you're feeling pretty good about yourself. But yeah, looking back, 510 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 1: I mean, Sean admitted after the game he probably would 511 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 1: have done something differently. And it's so easy to look 512 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: at percentages and stats after a game. And this is 513 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: kind of this isn't me saying anything about your question, Chris, 514 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: I just rattled off stats halt throughout my last answer. 515 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: But it's easy to cherry pick stats after a game 516 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: and say, you know they're bad in the red zone 517 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: and this and that. But I think Sean McDermott wasn't 518 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: that confident in his offense. You know, this is an 519 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: offense that throughout the regular season led the NFL and 520 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: third down conversions and struggled in the postseason. And I 521 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: don't know that he thought in a desperate situation like 522 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: that that his offense cad execute, which is a shame 523 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: when you're talking about a top five offense and most 524 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: statistical categories top two or three in a lot of 525 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: the major ones passing and scoring, but they weren't converting those. 526 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: And I think his confidence wasn't as high as maybe 527 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: it should have been, but that was based upon the 528 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: performance of the guys in the field. Yeah, what did 529 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: you notice about the struggles their offense had last night? 530 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: To me? And I mean, it just seemed like a 531 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: team that had not had to deal with crowd noise 532 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: for an entire season. And while seventeen thousand fans isn't 533 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: a huge number in a playoff at I mean, shoot, 534 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: all I heard all last week with sixty seven hundred 535 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: sound like sixty seven thousand, So doeskin seventeen thousands sound 536 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: like one hundred and seventy thousand. I don't know, But 537 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: when you saw them or especially early on in the game. 538 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: You know, their tackles weren't getting a great jump on 539 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: the silent canons. They haven't run silent candons all year, 540 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: and so I thought at time the tackles weren't getting 541 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: a great jump on the football, you know. And it's 542 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: tough for offensive linemen on the road when you're trying 543 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: to pass up but you got to keep looking inside 544 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: at the center to see the indicator for the snap coming. 545 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: And I think it hurt them, especially against the Blitz. 546 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: I thought there was multiple times where Josh went through 547 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: his whole theatrics of changing the play because of the Blitz. 548 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: A couple of times the Kansas City then checked back 549 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: out of it, but there was other times where they 550 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: would show a Blitz look late and Josh would just 551 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: have to go. And this is Josh Allen who threw 552 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: the most touchdowns and threw the most passing yards against 553 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: the Blitz on the season, and so most teams have 554 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: shied away from pressuring him as of late. But Kansas 555 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: City maybe they knew that with it being a factor 556 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: with the crowd noise, then he wouldn't be able to 557 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: adjust the plays as well. That they were going to 558 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: pressure him and it worked. Yeah, he addressed that specifically, 559 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: he kind of criticized himself for breaking the huddle late 560 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: a few times, and then as the play clocks running down, 561 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: as you said, the Chiefs defense would switch out of 562 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: what the look was late and Josh would not have 563 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: enough time to get back to the original play they 564 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: might have called in the first place pre snap. So 565 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: that did kind of discombobulate things and certainly compromise their effectiveness. 566 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to throw a number at you here, and 567 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: I know we just talked about cherry picking stats, Eric, 568 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna do it anyway. Just in terms of 569 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: a regular season to postseason performance, I think we all 570 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: expect production on offense to be challenged. Once you get 571 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: to the postseason, you're playing better caliber of opponent, usually 572 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: better defenses. But I really think, you know you mentioned 573 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: red zone. I think third down in red zone were 574 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,959 Speaker 1: the two biggest areas problem areas for the offense in 575 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: the postseason, and if you look at it, I mean, 576 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: this was a Bill's offense that led the league in 577 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: third down conversion percentage at forty nine point seven percent. 578 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: In the postseason, in three games, it dropped to thirty 579 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: point five on third down all season long. There was 580 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: one game in the regular season where they did not 581 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: have forty percent conversion rate or better believe it or not, 582 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: it was that Jets game when they kicked six field goals, 583 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: but in the postseason they never got over forty. I'm 584 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: sure there's a myriad of things we can look at 585 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: for that, but maybe just looking at yesterday, is there 586 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: one that sticks out because I mean three of eleven 587 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: and I mean it's just not getting the job done, 588 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: can't stay on the field. Yeah, to me, it seemed 589 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: like a lot of the struggles, you know, I mentioned 590 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: the crowd, noise, the communication, and they just didn't seem 591 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,479 Speaker 1: to be a sharp last night. When you look at 592 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: the back at the last couple games, you're you're talking 593 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,239 Speaker 1: about two pretty good defenses in Indie and Baltimore. But 594 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: the Bills played, you know, Miami, the number two ranked 595 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: defense in the NFL and never had an issue with 596 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: third down. So yes, you know, intensity goes up in 597 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: the playoffs, and as these guys, especially your quarterback, as 598 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: he gets more playoff experience, I would imagine it becomes 599 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: easier and easier to play in those situations. But it's 600 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: definitely alarming. And then you know you look at, um, 601 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,959 Speaker 1: you know, maybe the run game much of the season 602 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: was you know, everyone said, well, you know, we're gonna 603 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: need it, We're gonna need it. Well in the playoffs 604 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: when they try to go to run game early, well, 605 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: and it still wasn't effective in the playoffs for the 606 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: most part. Well, then you're not getting to third and 607 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: shorts and all that, and then you can't even rely 608 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: on your uh, your your run game in those situations. 609 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,959 Speaker 1: You know, there was a couple times yesterday where they 610 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: got to a third and three on the Kansas City 611 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: side of the field. And maybe this is my autopilot 612 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: brain for my nine years in Buffalo, but I was thinking, 613 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: just run it twice, you know, get Josh Allen, run 614 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,719 Speaker 1: read option with Josh twice. He'll get it. You know, 615 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: you don't, you know, that's that's easy to me. And 616 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: then they'd throw it and then kick a field gall 617 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: upunt or whatever it may be. And so, um, you know, 618 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: the run game could affect that. But you know, it's 619 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,479 Speaker 1: it's it's it's alarming. And when you look at it, 620 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: maybe against Baltimore when you're up multiple scores, in the 621 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: second half, then you don't need to be as risky 622 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: on third down, and so that could affect it as well. 623 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: And I know you said, Chris, there could be a 624 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: myriad of factors, but ultimately you got to be more productive. 625 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: I thought for the first two games though, what the 626 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: Bills were able to do. Although they struggled in the 627 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: red zone getting touchdowns and their third down conversions weren't 628 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: good enough, at least they didn't turn the ball over. 629 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: And I thought last night, you know, obviously the one interception, 630 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: but there was some other turnover worthy plays that were 631 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,319 Speaker 1: alarming as well. Yeah, and I thought Josh was trying 632 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: to do some things in the passing game. I was 633 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: really impressed with the Chief's ability to stay with the 634 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: Bills receivers when I was watching and from the angles, 635 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: I saw they were covering guys up and Josh was 636 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: being forced to really make some almost impossible throws. Certainly 637 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: he missed a couple, even the interception was tipped off 638 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: the hands of John Brown, that kind of thing, But 639 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,359 Speaker 1: he tried to fit the ball into some places where 640 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: it would have been a miracle getting them through. But 641 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: that was that may and times was his best option 642 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 1: because he didn't have any easy outs. And credit the 643 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 1: Chiefs defense for that. Plus you know, they they harassed him. 644 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: Jones and those guys up front for the Chiefs really 645 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: did a nice job coming at him as well, so 646 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,800 Speaker 1: they forced him off his spot as well as covering 647 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: up options he had quick So I thought Josh was 648 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,919 Speaker 1: you know, he was trying to make some throws, but man, 649 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: oh man, the opportunities were few and far between. I agree. 650 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: I thought the same thing, Steve. You know, I got 651 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 1: asked on a radio hit earlier today. Someone was asking 652 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: me about how you know they looked at the sack 653 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: numbers and pressures and all that and said, well, you know, 654 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: the offensive line obviously played really bad. I said, well, 655 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,439 Speaker 1: you know, you gotta get I would I wouldn't give 656 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 1: the Chiefs D line an MVP of their defensive performance 657 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: before I gave it to the secondary. Even with the sacks. 658 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: You know, I think a lot of that just came 659 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: because they were blanketing them and that's something that we 660 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: were so unfamiliar with seeing this season from this Bill's 661 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: receiving corps. And you know, Colb easily suffered the knee 662 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 1: injury in Week seventeen John Brown was dinged up a 663 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: little bit now, Gabriel Davis, but you know, and then 664 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: you could keel a little bit harder on Stefon Diggs 665 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: in that case. But I thought the secondary of the 666 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: Chiefs played extremely well in that game. You got to 667 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 1: give him some credit. And when you pass the ball 668 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 1: at the rate that the Buffalo Bills passed, there's the 669 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 1: defensive lineman at times are going to get home. And 670 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: this is so easy for me to say for my 671 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 1: couch in Louisville. I thought at times Josh was fading 672 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: back out of the pocket and drifting a little bit 673 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: as opposed to you know, I'm thinking of a couple 674 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: of times where Chris Jones was able to beat the 675 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: guards on the outside of them. A few times I 676 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,879 Speaker 1: thought if Josh went up in the pocket, he could 677 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: have given a drive by situation, but instead he faded, faded, 678 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 1: and then a couple of those times were some of 679 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: those deep sacks. But but you can't. I can't sit 680 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 1: here on Monday morning after an AFC Championship loss and 681 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: talk about how I wish Josh wouldn't scramble out of 682 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 1: the pocket when he threw for so many touchdowns and 683 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: yards all throughout the regular season by not necessarily climbing 684 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 1: all the time in the pocket and at times doing 685 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: exactly what he did last night, just making plays on 686 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 1: the back end of him. He did lose I think 687 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: a total of fifty two yards on the sacks, and 688 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,760 Speaker 1: I think that's probably one of the most frustrating things 689 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: for fans to watch. Josh is so darn competitive that 690 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 1: sometimes it gets the best of him. I thought he 691 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,959 Speaker 1: did take a step forward this year when he saw 692 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: the play wasn't there. You know, you almost every game 693 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 1: you'd see him throw it into the dirt near a 694 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: running back on the ground and just live for the 695 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: next down. And then there are other times where he 696 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 1: hangs onto the football believes he can, you know, schuck 697 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 1: a defensive end that's hanging on him like it's not 698 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: a problem. And that's not always the case, and it 699 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 1: certainly wasn't last night, and it really kind of puts 700 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: them in a bad spot. I Mean, it's bad enough 701 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 1: when you have to punt, but when you're inside a 702 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 1: team's forty yard line, you know, that's that's the middle 703 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 1: of the road territory difference between getting points or having 704 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 1: a punt and so that's the last place you want 705 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: to be doing, you know, some of the stuff that 706 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 1: our MSG viewers are looking at right now. And hopefully 707 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: that's something that you know, he can put in a 708 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 1: foot locker and lock away for the rest of his 709 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: career and not really fall victim to doing again. Yeah. 710 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: And I think with as much as he eliminated from 711 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 1: years one to year two and year two to year three, 712 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: I think you could see that. And I think as 713 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 1: Josh becomes more of a polished pocket passer, and he 714 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,800 Speaker 1: certainly proved he made a tremendous step this year he 715 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 1: made he took less shots out of the pocket, and 716 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: all the things we said we're concerning for long term 717 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,879 Speaker 1: health as a quarterback and all that, well, these are 718 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 1: one thing he can improve on this off season. And 719 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: I mean, if there's the one thing I know about 720 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, I mean, he's so competitive. You never want 721 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,840 Speaker 1: to take that away from him. But it almost appears 722 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,320 Speaker 1: that he takes that competitiveness to the off season approach 723 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 1: as well, just being able to make historic jumps in 724 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:53,399 Speaker 1: completion percentage and other statistical categories. It's a double edged sword. 725 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,879 Speaker 1: The results of this game yesterday certainly you get into 726 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game, he got acknowledge that the Buffalo 727 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: Bills were really good football team. They deserved it. They 728 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: were I really do think they were the second best 729 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 1: team in the conference. They were the two seed. They 730 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: earned it. They had a really tough schedule and they 731 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 1: got there. And then the other edge of that sword 732 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: is the fact that you see him stack up against 733 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: a team like Kansas City and you see they've got 734 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,839 Speaker 1: some work to do. They got you know, they've got 735 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: some deficiencies that they had. There had to be two 736 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 1: or three or four aspects of that game that had 737 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,919 Speaker 1: to be vastly different for the Bills to come out 738 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: on top and to go back. Now you got to 739 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 1: think that, yeah, they made some strides, but man o, 740 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,320 Speaker 1: many got to get to the top of the mountain. 741 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: They've got a list, They've got a list a mile 742 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: long of guys that are free agents. They're gonna have 743 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 1: to rebuild this roster come back and it certainly they've 744 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: got Josh Allen, they got their their wide receiver cords 745 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,439 Speaker 1: going to be intact. But man, oh man, they've got 746 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 1: a lot of work to do. So as far as 747 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,399 Speaker 1: they came this year, as as awesome as a ride 748 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: as it was. They've got to reconstruct this thing in 749 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 1: a lot of ways from the ground up and come 750 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: back and try and put it together again so that 751 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: this game, there's a lot in this game, a lot 752 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,399 Speaker 1: of good and a lot of bad. Just getting there 753 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 1: is fantastic. They proved that they've taken a huge step forward, 754 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 1: not only their culture, their organization, everything. They got some 755 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: continuity coming back now unless Leslie Frasier gets the job 756 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: in Houston or whatever. But they also came up well 757 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,319 Speaker 1: short of the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday. Yeah, you know, 758 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: most of the second half it didn't feel like that 759 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,360 Speaker 1: close of a game. You know, there was always times 760 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,919 Speaker 1: where there was some hope, but you're right, it wasn't 761 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 1: that close. And you know, when I look at it, 762 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 1: it's you can look at it in two different ways. 763 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,359 Speaker 1: If you're the Buffalo Bills, like either a Andy reading 764 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, if they get on one, they're gonna score 765 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 1: thirty something points. So we got to be able to 766 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 1: match them. How do we, you know, get this. I 767 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,399 Speaker 1: don't want to keep saying get the run game going, 768 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 1: because I loved what the Bills did offensively, this year. 769 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,399 Speaker 1: But how are we more efficient offensively? Do we add 770 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 1: more weapons? You know, do we add another dynamic playmate 771 00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: whatever you want to say, or do we say we 772 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,320 Speaker 1: got to go address the defense in certain areas where 773 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: we can run with those guys at receiver or whatever 774 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna do. If we're going to get to the 775 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 1: quarterback faster and get pass rush d tackles that get 776 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 1: home faster, because shoot, you can't even run the edge. 777 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 1: I'm a homes he gets ridded the ball so fast sometimes, 778 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: So do you gotta do you go get a Chris 779 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,840 Speaker 1: Jones type player? Honestly? Do you go get one of those? 780 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 1: And so you can kind of go one of two 781 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 1: directions there, and I'm not you know, we all understand 782 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 1: how much respect we have for everyone in the Bill's 783 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: front office. Like there's there's no doubt in my mind 784 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 1: that they will come out with the plan. But similar 785 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 1: to what I mentioned at the beginning with Gronk and 786 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,720 Speaker 1: Hernandez back in the day, it's like when the measuring 787 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,680 Speaker 1: stick is said it was New England, they were the 788 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 1: measuring stick. Well, when you make it the back to 789 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: back Super Bowls and you won the last one, you've 790 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,320 Speaker 1: played in the last three AFC Championship game. The Chiefs 791 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 1: of the measuring stick right now, and it puts a 792 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: lot of pressure on the regular season, assuming that the 793 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,919 Speaker 1: Bills go into the next season with a roster they're 794 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 1: confident in. Well Man, you saw, even with seventeen thousand fans, 795 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,239 Speaker 1: how much of a home field advantage could make. Okay, now, 796 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,240 Speaker 1: puts a little bit more pressure on the regular season 797 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 1: to get to the playoffs to try and get that 798 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,799 Speaker 1: home field advantage too. If you got to go up 799 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 1: against a Chiefs team like this, Yeah, they answer to 800 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 1: Steve's question might be both. You may you may have 801 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 1: to get guys that can run with people on defense, 802 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,879 Speaker 1: and you may need more talent on offense that can 803 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,880 Speaker 1: beat their guys. So yeah, I mean well, and let 804 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 1: me just say that. Let me say this too. There's 805 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people in the AFC East that are saying, 806 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,600 Speaker 1: holy smokes, what do we gotta do to go match 807 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills right now? So while we are looking 808 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:47,359 Speaker 1: at one team, there's a lot of teams that are 809 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,320 Speaker 1: looking at the Buffalo Bills in the same right, especially 810 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 1: three teams that got a plast twice a year saying, okay, well, 811 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 1: we don't have enough corners to cover those guys if 812 00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:00,200 Speaker 1: they bring all four of those receivers back. You know, 813 00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,279 Speaker 1: we don't have guys that can shadow Josh Allen. We 814 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,760 Speaker 1: put a spy on him, he burns him and jukes 815 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,839 Speaker 1: him and just took off for thirty and just change 816 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: the game. But defensively, you know they're they're playing games 817 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,360 Speaker 1: with our quarterback in the secondary. How do we figure? 818 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:15,920 Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of teams looking at the 819 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:17,839 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills thing and the same exact thing we're talking 820 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,759 Speaker 1: about the Chiefs, which you know it's all hindsight.

And they 844 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 1: never looked back in a game where their offense was 845 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:54,520 Speaker 1: firing on all cylinders and the Bills just couldn't match up, 846 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,120 Speaker 1: They couldn't measure up with their offensive football. Despite the 847 00:44:58,160 --> 00:44:59,840 Speaker 1: fact that the Bills in the regular season were the 848 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 1: bet are scoring team thirty one point three points per game, 849 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,319 Speaker 1: which was just a little bit better than the Chiefs 850 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 1: at twenty nine point eight, but that was not the 851 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,360 Speaker 1: case in the game yesterday, we do want to go 852 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,919 Speaker 1: to the phones. I got some people waiting patiently here, 853 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,360 Speaker 1: and we go to Randy in Denver. Randy, what do 854 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,120 Speaker 1: you have for us here? On one Bill's Live. Yeah, 855 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:27,200 Speaker 1: I'm really cry about that. I'm having trouble hearing them, 856 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 1: so we're just gonna have to sorry, cut them loose. Sorry, dude, 857 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,799 Speaker 1: just too hard to understand what you're saying. There. We'll 858 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,319 Speaker 1: go to Patrick and Rochester. Patrick, what do you have 859 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 1: for us? Hey, guys, I thought yesterday was a great 860 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 1: learning experience. Um. I think we want to hold ourselves 861 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 1: as a team to the best and the highest standard. 862 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,720 Speaker 1: It's like that, you know. As for right now, all 863 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,719 Speaker 1: roads are going to go through Kansas City until we 864 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:54,279 Speaker 1: get better. And I thought it really changed my view 865 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,200 Speaker 1: of the running back room. I feel like we got 866 00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:01,200 Speaker 1: to get better at RB position one and I thought that, 867 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,400 Speaker 1: um before the game, I used to have a problem 868 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 1: with Yelden, and I think that he's just a perfect 869 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,759 Speaker 1: RB three, someone that could step in there. Um. I 870 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 1: thought his contested catch over the middle was amazing, whether 871 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:17,719 Speaker 1: there was a guy hanging all over him, and I just, uh, 872 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 1: I think that we we're gonna get better. This is 873 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 1: gonna be a good offseason and a good draft. We 874 00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 1: know what it takes to win now and it was 875 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,920 Speaker 1: a great learning experience. And also I think the Chiefs 876 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,960 Speaker 1: kind of cheat a little bit. And as I mentioned, 877 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,919 Speaker 1: hanging all over yelden Um if you rewatch that catch 878 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 1: and a lot of other catches the Chief's defensive bats 879 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 1: or hanging and hanging and hanging and pulling and tugging. 880 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 1: So it goes back to what I think Stephen. You 881 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,800 Speaker 1: said Chris that in the playoffs they don't call this stuff, 882 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,320 Speaker 1: and I was wondering, do we need to start playing 883 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 1: this way ourselves or do we continue playing, you know, 884 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,360 Speaker 1: for the rules during the you think you got to 885 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,040 Speaker 1: play what you can get away with. I think he 886 00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 1: got to adjust to that and if they're challenge you, 887 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,960 Speaker 1: you got to challenge him. And I think it's a 888 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 1: smart move on the Chiefs part. I think that Baltimore 889 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 1: Ravens have done it for years. It's a smart move 890 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 1: that I got. It was deep in the game and 891 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,880 Speaker 1: I can't remember what it was it was. I think 892 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,640 Speaker 1: there was a false start on maybe as a full 893 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 1: start out Hey, it was Dion Dawkins false started late 894 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,520 Speaker 1: in the game, and it was like the second penalty 895 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,399 Speaker 1: on the Bills at that point and the one or two. 896 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 1: It was midway through the fourth quarter, right and there 897 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,040 Speaker 1: were four total penalties called in the game. And then 898 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,440 Speaker 1: you had the brew haha with Josh throwing the football 899 00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,800 Speaker 1: and somebody you know taking an extra shot at Josh 900 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,279 Speaker 1: after they sacked him, and then he had Feliciano coming 901 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,680 Speaker 1: in and deon Dawkins and that's when some extra flags flew. 902 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 1: Even with all of those that there were four penalties 903 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,399 Speaker 1: called on that play, there was seven total in the game. 904 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,360 Speaker 1: That's part of the reason that the game gets to 905 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,359 Speaker 1: those brew hahases because they don't control they don't control it. 906 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 1: You know the guy that when Josh went to the 907 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 1: ground on when the brew haha hit, it was way 908 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 1: after the the whistle blew, so Josh didn't like it, and 909 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:03,520 Speaker 1: and he flips the ball at that guy. Of course, 910 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 1: once he Josh does that, then everything, you know, the 911 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,160 Speaker 1: offensive lineman get involved and it's going to be a fight. 912 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,080 Speaker 1: Early in the game. We've been talking about Jones. Chris 913 00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,839 Speaker 1: Jones should have been ejected from the game early on, 914 00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,440 Speaker 1: and they'd laid let that slide helmet, he punted, he's 915 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,200 Speaker 1: an open hand. Even if he doesn't connect, Um, that's 916 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 1: an automatic ejection. That didn't happen. So and there's these 917 00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 1: little and he saw him a couple of times pushing 918 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,680 Speaker 1: and chippy and shovy matches going along. When he when 919 00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:35,960 Speaker 1: those slide and you know, and nothing is there's no repercussions, 920 00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,920 Speaker 1: there's no you know, holding, there's all that stuff. It's 921 00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:40,560 Speaker 1: going to get to the point where it's frustrating. Now. 922 00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,520 Speaker 1: I think both teams were a little bit guilty of that. 923 00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,239 Speaker 1: Certainly the Bills had their hand in it as well. Um, 924 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:49,279 Speaker 1: But when the officials are gonna let him go like 925 00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,680 Speaker 1: they did that. The thing about Josh when he flipped 926 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:53,879 Speaker 1: the ball at What's I can't even remember fifty seven 927 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,279 Speaker 1: when he flipped the ball at Oka for they had 928 00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:00,719 Speaker 1: blown the whistle, Josh was still going backwards and then 929 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,480 Speaker 1: they finally and they take him down like late, like 930 00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,239 Speaker 1: you it was after that into the ground. They took 931 00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,759 Speaker 1: him to the ground after that. You know, that's you know, 932 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,920 Speaker 1: that's pretty frustrating for guys. So you know that when 933 00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,759 Speaker 1: you let that go as an official, that bruhaha is 934 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,640 Speaker 1: gonna happen and stuff like that happened on both sides, 935 00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,800 Speaker 1: and to take it a step further, it only encourages 936 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,239 Speaker 1: the dbs all the more right to be grabby because 937 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,760 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, wow, there, my defensive tackle just punched 938 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,680 Speaker 1: that guy in the head and nothing happened there. Certainly 939 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 1: not going to see me over here grabbing a jersey now, 940 00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,360 Speaker 1: and then the officials were very much there to spot 941 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,800 Speaker 1: the football and keep play moving. They called one defensive 942 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,960 Speaker 1: penalty in coverage. It was on sneed against Beasley. He 943 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,560 Speaker 1: grabbed his jersey three times on one play, and they 944 00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,000 Speaker 1: finally called it on the third tug of the jersey 945 00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:45,719 Speaker 1: they did. Cultured Davious White in the corner of the 946 00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,399 Speaker 1: end zone on kelsey right brought up a first in goal. 947 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:53,280 Speaker 1: So but you're talking, you're talking two penalties and on dbs. 948 00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,960 Speaker 1: You're talking two penalties on dbs the entire game. In 949 00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,279 Speaker 1: a game where there were how many pass attempts between 950 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,080 Speaker 1: the two quarterbacks, I mean forty eight plus thirty eight, 951 00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:07,879 Speaker 1: I mean eighty six pass attempts, you had two penalties 952 00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:12,040 Speaker 1: in coverage called the entire game. So if you pull 953 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,000 Speaker 1: anything out of this game in the playoffs as a defense. 954 00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:17,320 Speaker 1: That's what I'm bringing to That's what I'm bringing to 955 00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,200 Speaker 1: the playoffs next year. If I'm Tradavious White or I'm 956 00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,960 Speaker 1: Levi Wallace or I'm Micah hyd or Jordan Poyer, I'm 957 00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,839 Speaker 1: saying I'm getting hands the next year. Yeah, because they're 958 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,319 Speaker 1: not gonna call it. Yeah. Yeah, And it was. It 959 00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,880 Speaker 1: was a physical game, and the Chiefs played a ton 960 00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:36,160 Speaker 1: of two man and they they were in man cover. 961 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,239 Speaker 1: Wasn't like they were running through zones and nobody was 962 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,680 Speaker 1: getting you know, nobody was in contact. They were they 963 00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:43,920 Speaker 1: were on these guys and running with them and staying 964 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:47,480 Speaker 1: close with their hands. So um, there wasn't like there 965 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,920 Speaker 1: weren't many opportunities for for these you know, for that 966 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,280 Speaker 1: to be to happen. But the officials, you know, they 967 00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,040 Speaker 1: set the tony. You got to adjust to it, and 968 00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,640 Speaker 1: good teams do and and teams that that don't lose 969 00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,400 Speaker 1: break time for us.

Twenty 1012 00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:24,279 Speaker 1: twenty season, as exciting a season as there has been 1013 00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:28,719 Speaker 1: in some time, came to an unceremonious close yesterday in 1014 00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,919 Speaker 1: Kansas City eight oh three oh five fifty. The number 1015 00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,240 Speaker 1: to get on board one eight eight eight five fifty 1016 00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,120 Speaker 1: two five fifty and leading us off here in the 1017 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,920 Speaker 1: second hour, the program is Tom in Wilson, Tom, what 1018 00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:44,440 Speaker 1: do you have for us? You're on one bills live? Tom? 1019 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:48,879 Speaker 1: Are you with us? Yeah? Tom, you're there, Yep, We're 1020 00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:50,480 Speaker 1: ready to go. You're on one bills live. What do 1021 00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 1: you got for us? Hey? I was a down point 1022 00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:59,759 Speaker 1: in the second quarter when Singletary dropped that screen path 1023 00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,359 Speaker 1: it looked like he had an end zone run right there, 1024 00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:08,600 Speaker 1: and the next play Josh got sacked for twenty yards. Yeah, 1025 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,680 Speaker 1: turning point in the game. Horrible swing for sure. Uh no, 1026 00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,839 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And I don't know if if 1027 00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 1: he was getting to the end zone, but he was 1028 00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:17,759 Speaker 1: getting at least twenty yards. There was a lot of 1029 00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:19,880 Speaker 1: green grass in front of him. It was a perfectly 1030 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,400 Speaker 1: called screen and there he was outside. I think it 1031 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,359 Speaker 1: was a third down too, because they came Oh no, 1032 00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,040 Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't a third down. Second, yeah, second, and 1033 00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:29,799 Speaker 1: law he was going to convert the first down, that's 1034 00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:31,759 Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, I thought that was a crusher. And 1035 00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:35,719 Speaker 1: that's why um t j Yelden got as many opportunities 1036 00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 1: last night as he did got benched after that. That's 1037 00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:40,319 Speaker 1: that's the way it works. And that's not the first 1038 00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,680 Speaker 1: time we've seen that for players doing that, but y 1039 00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,279 Speaker 1: Moscot bench in the Arizona game when he's right when 1040 00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,000 Speaker 1: fumbled deep en, it happens, And I agree with you. 1041 00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:49,840 Speaker 1: I thought that was a crusher When that happens. The 1042 00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:51,840 Speaker 1: Bills had a chance to, you know, do something with 1043 00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:54,600 Speaker 1: that drive and they couldn't. So you're right, that's a 1044 00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,160 Speaker 1: I remember that, Tom, and that's we spoke about it 1045 00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,719 Speaker 1: on the broadcast as well, and it was that was 1046 00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:04,080 Speaker 1: a crusher, a crusher when he dropped that ball. Yeah, 1047 00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,359 Speaker 1: and you know he wasn't the only one. There were 1048 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:11,319 Speaker 1: a lot of lack of execution type plays where you know, 1049 00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:14,440 Speaker 1: against the team of the Chiefs caliber, you have to 1050 00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,880 Speaker 1: play your best game, and if you're making those kinds 1051 00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:22,720 Speaker 1: of misques with each passing one, your chances of winning 1052 00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:27,480 Speaker 1: the game and making more plays than that team gets 1053 00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:31,839 Speaker 1: smaller and smaller. And once you reduce the margin, now 1054 00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:35,680 Speaker 1: you're in trouble, and quickly the Bills found themselves behind 1055 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:37,680 Speaker 1: the eight ball. In the span of ten minutes of 1056 00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,919 Speaker 1: game clock went from nine nothing to twenty one nine. 1057 00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:43,359 Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones. We go to Mark 1058 00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:45,440 Speaker 1: in Amherst. Mark, you're on one, Bills Live. What do 1059 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:50,320 Speaker 1: you have for us? Yeah? How you doing? Guys? What 1060 00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:54,640 Speaker 1: a great season. Unfortunately didn't then the way we all 1061 00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:58,160 Speaker 1: would have liked to see it. Then, However, I think 1062 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,120 Speaker 1: you know what it shows. You were just talking about 1063 00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:04,200 Speaker 1: the Singletary play, which I think was a huge, you know, 1064 00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,799 Speaker 1: definitely was a huge turning point and shows you got 1065 00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,440 Speaker 1: to make those plays in the playoffs to beat the 1066 00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:14,840 Speaker 1: best teams. And it also I think emphasizes the benefit 1067 00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:18,080 Speaker 1: of home field advantage in the number one seed. But 1068 00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,960 Speaker 1: you know, the Chiefs obviously played one less game. Their 1069 00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,680 Speaker 1: legs looked a little fresher, you know, I think Davis 1070 00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:30,880 Speaker 1: and Brown both you know, we're not necessarily one hundred percent, 1071 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,600 Speaker 1: and you know, I think the focus is trying to 1072 00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:37,960 Speaker 1: find a way to get to that one seed and 1073 00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:42,040 Speaker 1: make sure you get the playmakers to h to make 1074 00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,040 Speaker 1: it happen. Normally, thirteen and three put you pretty damn 1075 00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:48,759 Speaker 1: close to to the one seed. But Chiefs are a 1076 00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:52,000 Speaker 1: great team and now we're now they're in our scope 1077 00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:56,000 Speaker 1: and hopefully we make some changes to put us on 1078 00:56:56,040 --> 00:57:00,160 Speaker 1: the other side of that. What kind of changes would you, Mark, 1079 00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:06,400 Speaker 1: would you subscribe to? You know, I think obviously I 1080 00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:08,680 Speaker 1: was hoping Mackenzie was going to get a little more 1081 00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,880 Speaker 1: time out on the field. I think speed again, in 1082 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:16,640 Speaker 1: a game where you've got the best players obviously in 1083 00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:20,400 Speaker 1: the AFC playing, you know, speed is one separation. Tyreek 1084 00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:25,400 Speaker 1: Hill and Kelsey both elite speeds for their positions, shows, 1085 00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:27,840 Speaker 1: you know, shows what they can do, and then Edwards 1086 00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:31,720 Speaker 1: Hilaire the same way. Right, So you know, we we've 1087 00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:33,880 Speaker 1: I think we've got to add a little more a 1088 00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,680 Speaker 1: little more speed to the to the offensive side of 1089 00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:40,200 Speaker 1: the ball and probably the defensive side of the ball. Um. 1090 00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,880 Speaker 1: You know, you guys talked about cornerbacks and being able 1091 00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:47,320 Speaker 1: to handle one on one and I don't think, you know, 1092 00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,000 Speaker 1: we've got the cornerbacks that can do that right now. 1093 00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:53,800 Speaker 1: So um, yeah, I don't think there's too many teams 1094 00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:55,480 Speaker 1: that can match up with a speed of Kansas City 1095 00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:57,840 Speaker 1: and their skills positions. You've got to find another way 1096 00:57:57,840 --> 00:57:59,480 Speaker 1: to do it, And you're right, Um, what's the other 1097 00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,160 Speaker 1: way those? Yeah, they don't have speed to match what's 1098 00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,960 Speaker 1: the other way? Yeah, I don't know. I think what 1099 00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,280 Speaker 1: you probably do. You need to if they've got that 1100 00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,600 Speaker 1: much talent on their side, you need to answer it 1101 00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,000 Speaker 1: with some singular talents on your side. If you can't 1102 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:14,840 Speaker 1: match him for speed, you need to match him with 1103 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:18,280 Speaker 1: four guys that can rush the passer. And the balls 1104 00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:20,560 Speaker 1: got to come out so before that, before Tyreek Hill 1105 00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:23,520 Speaker 1: can get fifteen twenty yards or Mikole Hardman or all 1106 00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:25,960 Speaker 1: that stuff, the ball's got to come out of out 1107 00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,560 Speaker 1: of Mahomes hands quicker, which I think is what's going 1108 00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,120 Speaker 1: to make Super Bowl fifty five very interesting because they 1109 00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:32,840 Speaker 1: do have players that can come off the edge and 1110 00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,240 Speaker 1: Shack Barrett and Jason p R Paul Tampa Bay I'm 1111 00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:38,360 Speaker 1: talking about. So does that make a difference ultimately in 1112 00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:40,800 Speaker 1: that game? And the chief will bear watching the Chiefs 1113 00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:43,880 Speaker 1: lost Fisher that looks like, yeah, he looks like he 1114 00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,640 Speaker 1: tore as Achilles, which is too and it's unfortunate. That's 1115 00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:50,640 Speaker 1: too bad. You feel bad for the guy, But that 1116 00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:52,919 Speaker 1: leaves a big hole there for them. What they did 1117 00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:55,680 Speaker 1: was they move their right tackle over to left tackle, 1118 00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,640 Speaker 1: move their right guard out to right tackle, and brought 1119 00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,720 Speaker 1: in Stephen Snooski and put him a right guard. And 1120 00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,160 Speaker 1: then that was the shuffle they made right at game day. Now, 1121 00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,240 Speaker 1: whether that stays that way for the Super Bowl, I 1122 00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:08,280 Speaker 1: do not know, but it doesn't look like Eric Fisher 1123 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:10,080 Speaker 1: is going to be able to play right. Kind of 1124 00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:12,400 Speaker 1: a tough loss for them, especially knowing the pass rushing 1125 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:15,360 Speaker 1: talent that the Bucks bring to the table. The other 1126 00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:17,560 Speaker 1: thing that the Bucks do have is two linebackers who 1127 00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:19,400 Speaker 1: are even faster than the two that the Bills put 1128 00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:23,439 Speaker 1: on the field in Devin White and Lavonte David. Those 1129 00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,000 Speaker 1: guys can run. I mean, Lavonte David ten years ago 1130 00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:28,480 Speaker 1: would have been a safety. You know, he's like, whe 1131 00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:30,960 Speaker 1: does he go to twenty? I mean, but those two 1132 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,640 Speaker 1: guys can really really run. That may help him with Kelsey. 1133 00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:35,520 Speaker 1: That ain't gonna help him with Tyreek. That's what I meant. 1134 00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:37,560 Speaker 1: I meant Kelsey, Yeah, he's in the middle of the 1135 00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:39,680 Speaker 1: field there, and those two guys are better. Can they 1136 00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,360 Speaker 1: do a better job? I don't know, nobody. I think 1137 00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:45,520 Speaker 1: Kelsey's got about ten games this season with eight receptions 1138 00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,680 Speaker 1: or more. Yeah, I mean, he's just it's not like 1139 00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,800 Speaker 1: he's just doing that to the Bills yesterday. He's done 1140 00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,800 Speaker 1: it to everybody. And you know the other thing too, 1141 00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,960 Speaker 1: Steve is you know, you go back to the week 1142 00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,720 Speaker 1: six game plan and you think about out how much 1143 01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:04,760 Speaker 1: that game plan was criticized by Bills fans because the 1144 01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:06,920 Speaker 1: Chiefs ran for two hundred and forty five yards. How 1145 01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:08,600 Speaker 1: could you have this game plan? This, that, and the 1146 01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,240 Speaker 1: other we saw last night. Why that game plan in 1147 01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,680 Speaker 1: week six was what it was because the Bills tried 1148 01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:16,960 Speaker 1: to just change it a little bit. Um left Kelsey 1149 01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:20,640 Speaker 1: in the middle of the field underneath basically for the 1150 01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:22,560 Speaker 1: first half of the football game, and he ate him 1151 01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:25,080 Speaker 1: alive to the tune of nine catches for ninety two yards. 1152 01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:27,440 Speaker 1: And so they said, all right, well, Kelsey's killing us 1153 01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:29,560 Speaker 1: in the middle of the field, let's account for that 1154 01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:32,440 Speaker 1: play a little more man coverage outside. And that's that 1155 01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,080 Speaker 1: opens the door and the floodgates for Tyreek Hill to 1156 01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:37,920 Speaker 1: do what he did, right, And and that's that's the 1157 01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,040 Speaker 1: that's the pick your poison that you got to play 1158 01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:42,800 Speaker 1: with this team. And so if you try to cover 1159 01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:45,920 Speaker 1: those two guys up and just drop six deep and 1160 01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:49,720 Speaker 1: go lightbox. They'll run all day on you. And that's 1161 01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:52,120 Speaker 1: what they can do because of those unicorn type talents 1162 01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,040 Speaker 1: as you were talking about. Yeah, and that's that's what 1163 01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:56,440 Speaker 1: you're up against. You're gonna have to have some singular talent, 1164 01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:00,280 Speaker 1: singularly talented players defensively to match up with him, or 1165 01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:02,120 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to light it up school on the school. 1166 01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:05,080 Speaker 1: So you're talking like basically a Dion Sanders type at corner. 1167 01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:07,680 Speaker 1: That's what you need. Two of them, Yeah, two of them, 1168 01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:11,680 Speaker 1: good luck, have fun and he's really rough and or 1169 01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to have find a corner who's big 1170 01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:18,520 Speaker 1: enough physically to follow Tyreek around and and be good 1171 01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:21,280 Speaker 1: enough at the line to knock him off his route, 1172 01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:23,720 Speaker 1: neither knock him off his feet at the line or 1173 01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:25,760 Speaker 1: not let him release so fast. And that's you know, 1174 01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:28,640 Speaker 1: you kidde me, that's those guys are really hard to find. 1175 01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:31,000 Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones. We go to rich 1176 01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:33,320 Speaker 1: In Tonawanda. Rich you're on one Bill's Live. What do 1177 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,520 Speaker 1: you have for us? Ye, gentlemen, thank you for taking 1178 01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:40,200 Speaker 1: my call. Sure, just a couple of things I realized 1179 01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:43,400 Speaker 1: the chiefs are an outstanding club. I was just a 1180 01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:47,080 Speaker 1: little disappointed in the way that we tried to defense 1181 01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:52,040 Speaker 1: them and allowing Kelsey just free movement off the line. 1182 01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:54,640 Speaker 1: I personally, I would have tried to put somebody in 1183 01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,600 Speaker 1: his face and bang him right up to put Bath 1184 01:01:57,120 --> 01:02:02,040 Speaker 1: and put double coverage with him. Yeah, he obviously killed 1185 01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:04,960 Speaker 1: us in the first half. Yeah, I would agree with that. 1186 01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, go ahead, Rich, he had more. He's done 1187 01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:12,600 Speaker 1: it all season, There's no doubt about it. But I 1188 01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,120 Speaker 1: just going into the game, I knew he was going 1189 01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:17,280 Speaker 1: to be an issue for us, and I just think 1190 01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:21,000 Speaker 1: that we've made it way too easy for him. Secondly, 1191 01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:25,560 Speaker 1: we just don't get enough pressure in a quarterback without flitzing. 1192 01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,400 Speaker 1: I know they've tried to address that with some of 1193 01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:33,240 Speaker 1: their draft picks, but I don't care who the quarterback is, 1194 01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,880 Speaker 1: and obviously Mahomes is one of the very best. You 1195 01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:41,720 Speaker 1: give them time, they're gonna hurt you. And secondly, Josh 1196 01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:45,400 Speaker 1: had a phenomenal season as well as the Bills, but 1197 01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:49,160 Speaker 1: the pressure they put on him yesterday, I really think 1198 01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:55,200 Speaker 1: that we need to address some offensive line helping the draft. Yeah, 1199 01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:57,400 Speaker 1: and we appreciate the call, Rich, thanks for doing it. 1200 01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,960 Speaker 1: What do you What do you think of that though, Steve, 1201 01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:05,120 Speaker 1: because I know you've been of the opinion that, you know, 1202 01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:08,520 Speaker 1: getting bigger on the line and doing more stuff there 1203 01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,160 Speaker 1: would be beneficial. Um. Yeah, I think from a line 1204 01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:14,560 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, re establishing the line of scrimmage in the 1205 01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:17,440 Speaker 1: run game on offensive line. Uh, they certainly did not. 1206 01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,600 Speaker 1: They were they were not up to the standard this 1207 01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:22,680 Speaker 1: year in that area, right. And you know, there's a 1208 01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,120 Speaker 1: lot been a lot of talk over the course of 1209 01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:26,320 Speaker 1: the season how much they missed Starlot Lee in his 1210 01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:30,160 Speaker 1: physical presence down the defensive on the defensive line. I think, Um, 1211 01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,040 Speaker 1: there is something to that. I think they need to 1212 01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:35,040 Speaker 1: address it. They also had so many new faces on 1213 01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:41,200 Speaker 1: their eight man rotation M four brand new faces in Butler, Addison, 1214 01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:44,880 Speaker 1: and Jefferson and also a j Panessa. Four brand new 1215 01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:46,560 Speaker 1: guys that had to get worked in. They had a 1216 01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:49,160 Speaker 1: lot of work to do when the season began upfront. Uh. 1217 01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:52,560 Speaker 1: And and I think he's right, Um, you would love 1218 01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:54,520 Speaker 1: to see this team not get off to such a 1219 01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:58,720 Speaker 1: slow start. Defensively, they ended up okay in the sack department. 1220 01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:00,680 Speaker 1: I think one of the things that help them get 1221 01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:03,000 Speaker 1: to that sack number was the fact that the Bills 1222 01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:06,680 Speaker 1: offense forced teams into desperation mode, and then second half 1223 01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:09,280 Speaker 1: of games the Bills stacked up some sacks because they 1224 01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:12,080 Speaker 1: were chasing the quarterback around a desperate quarterback, around a 1225 01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:16,040 Speaker 1: desperate offense, they had to throw the football. Um and 1226 01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,880 Speaker 1: I agree. I think for me, in my in my 1227 01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:21,919 Speaker 1: heart of hearts and get down to the my foundational 1228 01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:23,880 Speaker 1: core beliefs, I think you got to win the battle 1229 01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:25,920 Speaker 1: up front on both sides of the ball, and that's 1230 01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,440 Speaker 1: where it starts. And I don't think the Bills were 1231 01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:30,480 Speaker 1: dominant up front. I don't think they were terrible in 1232 01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,040 Speaker 1: the run or the pass up front on offense or defense, 1233 01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:36,200 Speaker 1: but they were not dominant I don't think in any game, 1234 01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:38,400 Speaker 1: and I think you need to be. I think they 1235 01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:40,680 Speaker 1: were a little bit undersized. They were very athletic, no 1236 01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:42,560 Speaker 1: question about it. And it's a throwing league. I get 1237 01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:46,560 Speaker 1: that philosophy, but I I want I would prefer to 1238 01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,920 Speaker 1: have a defensive line offensive line that was big and 1239 01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:53,840 Speaker 1: more physical and more athletic. That's well, that's not always 1240 01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:57,160 Speaker 1: a combination. That's easy to find. More athletics, it's not 1241 01:04:57,160 --> 01:05:00,120 Speaker 1: hard to find. It's not quantity. I think they they 1242 01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:02,040 Speaker 1: missed I think they missed Cody Ford when he left 1243 01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:04,480 Speaker 1: for the season. They missed his physicality down inside and 1244 01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:08,560 Speaker 1: his girth, his size. I don't know that he's athletics 1245 01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:11,120 Speaker 1: as athletic as you'd like him to be. They moved 1246 01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:13,720 Speaker 1: on from Quentin Spain. Movet Quentin Spain could not hang 1247 01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:16,000 Speaker 1: in there this year. They moved on from him. But 1248 01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:18,280 Speaker 1: he was like one of those bigger road greater types, 1249 01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:20,760 Speaker 1: and they decided they wanted to get lighter and more 1250 01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:24,640 Speaker 1: mobile and so that you know all that stuff, um, 1251 01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:27,680 Speaker 1: and I would admire. I gotta I gotta tell you, 1252 01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:29,960 Speaker 1: I admire Sean McDermot brand had been from moving on 1253 01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,200 Speaker 1: from Quentin Spain so quickly. There's a guy who played 1254 01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:34,560 Speaker 1: very well for him in twenty nineteen in the playoff year, 1255 01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:37,000 Speaker 1: and he lasted about three or four or five games 1256 01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:39,480 Speaker 1: and he was he was released, Yeah, that was and 1257 01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:42,560 Speaker 1: benched and then released. So it was they did not 1258 01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:47,520 Speaker 1: waste any time roster turning this roster to get better. 1259 01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:52,160 Speaker 1: Second part of Rich's call dealt with chipping at felt well, 1260 01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:55,000 Speaker 1: not chipping, but jamming guys is a line of scrimmage 1261 01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:58,000 Speaker 1: and I can't tell you. For how many years you know, 1262 01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:02,480 Speaker 1: under previous coaching regimes, they never would get to a 1263 01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:06,240 Speaker 1: point where they would just hit I mean, how many 1264 01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:09,960 Speaker 1: years went by where they never made collisions at the 1265 01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:13,800 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage with Rob Grinkowski. I still remember Mark 1266 01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:17,480 Speaker 1: Kelso on the pregame radio every week saying they have 1267 01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:21,640 Speaker 1: to collision Rob Grinkowski at the line of scrimmage before 1268 01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:24,960 Speaker 1: off the snap, and they never ever did it for 1269 01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:27,240 Speaker 1: so many years, And it looks like the same thing. 1270 01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:30,520 Speaker 1: They're not hitting Kelsey at the line of scrimmage if 1271 01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:32,200 Speaker 1: you're not going to get if you don't have a 1272 01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:35,320 Speaker 1: pass rush potent enough to get to Patrick Mahomes anyway, 1273 01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:37,920 Speaker 1: what's the difference if you're defensive end cracks him at 1274 01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:40,080 Speaker 1: the line and then goes to get the passer just 1275 01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:41,760 Speaker 1: to throw him off for a half a second? Is 1276 01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:43,800 Speaker 1: there any merit to doing that? At least some of 1277 01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:46,520 Speaker 1: the time. I've seen teams also run a vice format, 1278 01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,480 Speaker 1: a vice coverage where they get two guys on them. 1279 01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:51,080 Speaker 1: They treat him like a gunner on a punt team. 1280 01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:52,960 Speaker 1: They just grab him and vice him and hold him 1281 01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:54,280 Speaker 1: right where he's at it. What you can do within 1282 01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:56,400 Speaker 1: the first five yards, right, you can just hold him 1283 01:06:56,440 --> 01:07:00,280 Speaker 1: there and like and just not let him leave. You get. 1284 01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:02,480 Speaker 1: It's a double team, but it's you know, he got 1285 01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:04,200 Speaker 1: as long as he's standing, there's the line of scrimmage. 1286 01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:07,960 Speaker 1: In advice, he's ineffective. So it's a double team that's 1287 01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,600 Speaker 1: completely effective if you can pull it off. I've seen 1288 01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:13,480 Speaker 1: teams do that, certainly, not all the time, not every down, 1289 01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:15,720 Speaker 1: but certainly make den red zone where the guy you 1290 01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:17,960 Speaker 1: don't lets getting into the end zone. All these plays 1291 01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,680 Speaker 1: we're watching, it's a free release. I mean, we just 1292 01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:24,120 Speaker 1: finished talking for the last twenty minutes about the unique 1293 01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:28,560 Speaker 1: athletic talents that Tyree Hill and Travis Kelsey are. Why 1294 01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:30,920 Speaker 1: give them a free release and let them get up 1295 01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:33,760 Speaker 1: to top speed that much faster. Wouldn't you just crack 1296 01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:35,520 Speaker 1: the heck out of them? I mean, he's behind the 1297 01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:38,320 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, he's free game. Go run at him 1298 01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:41,560 Speaker 1: and crack him. He's not running fast if you're knocking 1299 01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:45,240 Speaker 1: him into the backfield. So I just don't know why 1300 01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:47,560 Speaker 1: more teams don't utilize that as an option. Are they 1301 01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:49,440 Speaker 1: fraid they go to hit him and they miss? I mean, 1302 01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:52,160 Speaker 1: I don't know what the concern is there? He's eating 1303 01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:55,040 Speaker 1: you alive. Try something else. I don't know, it's just 1304 01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:58,800 Speaker 1: maybe that's an oversimplification, but I would at least give 1305 01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:00,680 Speaker 1: it a try. He tried everything else and none of 1306 01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:02,840 Speaker 1: that worked. So I just thought it was something they 1307 01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:04,640 Speaker 1: could pull out of their pocket and maybe at least 1308 01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,200 Speaker 1: attempt and hit him at the line of scrimmage. So 1309 01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:09,360 Speaker 1: I'm an agreement with rich on that one. Yeah, you 1310 01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:12,680 Speaker 1: gotta if it's not working, try something else. Yeah, for sure, 1311 01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:16,000 Speaker 1: let's go to Scott in East Aurora. Scott, what do 1312 01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:18,160 Speaker 1: you have for us? You're on One Bill's Live. Thanks 1313 01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:20,680 Speaker 1: you guys. I think I appreciate it. The one thing 1314 01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:22,720 Speaker 1: I Jeremy White said something this morning that made a 1315 01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:25,120 Speaker 1: lot of sense similar to the it was this is 1316 01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:27,680 Speaker 1: a paraphrase, but he basically said, this season was a 1317 01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:30,720 Speaker 1: was like a really really fun television show and the 1318 01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:34,720 Speaker 1: series finale just stunk. Just the ending was bad. This 1319 01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:36,800 Speaker 1: was amazing, and you know it's kind of like maybe 1320 01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:38,320 Speaker 1: it was like the Soprano. It's just like you know, 1321 01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:41,080 Speaker 1: that that goofy ending. But um, you know, I feel 1322 01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:44,240 Speaker 1: like they are last year. You know, they responded to 1323 01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:47,320 Speaker 1: the Houston lass Brandon being responded, he knew he needed 1324 01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:49,439 Speaker 1: somebody for Jos to throw to in the fourth quarter 1325 01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:51,479 Speaker 1: and over time of that game. So now now we've 1326 01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:53,160 Speaker 1: seen what we need to do. I mean that the 1327 01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:55,160 Speaker 1: Kansas City is a measuring stick. What do we gotta 1328 01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:56,839 Speaker 1: do to get past those guys? And I mean, obviously 1329 01:08:56,880 --> 01:08:58,920 Speaker 1: it's a it's a much taller order than than getting 1330 01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:02,439 Speaker 1: past Houston. But um, I think we're I think we 1331 01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:04,840 Speaker 1: need we need another running back. I think we need 1332 01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:07,960 Speaker 1: another tight end. I think we I think we need 1333 01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:10,920 Speaker 1: a an edge rusher, definitely, and I think we another corner. 1334 01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:14,080 Speaker 1: And um, you know that's and so there's the for 1335 01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:16,200 Speaker 1: a team that was that close, we still got a 1336 01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:19,599 Speaker 1: good amount of holes. And um but I'm and Steve, 1337 01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:20,880 Speaker 1: I'd like to hear what you say about this. I 1338 01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:22,960 Speaker 1: know it's it was a different era, but I feel 1339 01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,240 Speaker 1: like I feel like these are a bit like the 1340 01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:27,479 Speaker 1: eighty eight Bills. We got the we got to the 1341 01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:29,720 Speaker 1: conference title we got to the conference title game. We 1342 01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:32,200 Speaker 1: couldn't get past the Bengals. Granted, the Bengals are not 1343 01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:34,559 Speaker 1: or we're not. We're not a budding dynasty the way 1344 01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:37,559 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are are. But but they we were, we 1345 01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:39,960 Speaker 1: were almost there, but we we ended up. It took 1346 01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:41,439 Speaker 1: it took us another couple of years to get there. 1347 01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:43,280 Speaker 1: But that's that's what I feel like the most. It's 1348 01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:44,960 Speaker 1: like the eighty eight Bills, and I know you were 1349 01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:49,720 Speaker 1: we Why did you come in at eighty nine? I 1350 01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:52,960 Speaker 1: sees there and um, so that's that's what it feels 1351 01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:55,000 Speaker 1: like to me. And again, I know free agency, all 1352 01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:56,840 Speaker 1: that stuff, salary cap, it was a much different era, 1353 01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:59,160 Speaker 1: but that's what it feels like to me. And I 1354 01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:02,120 Speaker 1: have I'm so disappointed in yesterday, but I do have 1355 01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:04,240 Speaker 1: a lot of faith in Brandon being that he's gonna 1356 01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:06,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna address this as best weekend. And you know, 1357 01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:07,559 Speaker 1: you either got to hope that we can get past 1358 01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:09,479 Speaker 1: those guys or or not have to face him in 1359 01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:11,720 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Maybe someone else will knock him off. All right, 1360 01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:14,599 Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Scott, appreciate it. Yes, certainly there's 1361 01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:16,800 Speaker 1: a lot in there, Scott, and in your right, I mean, 1362 01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:19,599 Speaker 1: certainly there's places where the Bills could have played better 1363 01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:23,360 Speaker 1: as as a group. But um, you've got your quarterback 1364 01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:26,920 Speaker 1: and you've got your wide receiving corps. Your secondary still 1365 01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:30,920 Speaker 1: stays intact. Uh, you probably have Levi Wallace as a 1366 01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:34,679 Speaker 1: free agent, um restricted free agent. But yeah, yeah, and 1367 01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:38,320 Speaker 1: and Levi Wallace for whatever you said. You know, they've 1368 01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:40,439 Speaker 1: tried to replace him for three years since he was here. 1369 01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:42,120 Speaker 1: I mean he was a rookie free agent and ended 1370 01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:44,920 Speaker 1: up on the field. Yeah, he's hard to get off 1371 01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:48,040 Speaker 1: the field. So we'll see if if they can do 1372 01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:51,479 Speaker 1: that again. Running back. Certainly they've taken a running back 1373 01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:59,080 Speaker 1: in each of the last two drafts. Uh, maybe better alignment. 1374 01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:01,679 Speaker 1: Everybody loves every would love to have an elite edge rusher. 1375 01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:04,799 Speaker 1: Those guys are hard to get. I would with respect 1376 01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:06,680 Speaker 1: to the running game, I tend to lean more to you, 1377 01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:11,760 Speaker 1: Steve and say get more big guys. The guys up 1378 01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:13,760 Speaker 1: front are going to determine how good the running back is. 1379 01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:16,120 Speaker 1: That's the bottom line. And the perfect example of that 1380 01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:20,479 Speaker 1: is the Kansas City Chiefs. Because you can argue as 1381 01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:22,600 Speaker 1: much as you want that Clyde Edwards Hilaire made a 1382 01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:24,839 Speaker 1: difference this year, and he did. He's a versatile player. 1383 01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:29,360 Speaker 1: But Daryl Williams had to carry the mail last week 1384 01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:34,960 Speaker 1: against the Cleveland Browns and did. He's an undrafted kid, 1385 01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:38,559 Speaker 1: Like you know what, I mean, I just I don't 1386 01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:40,519 Speaker 1: think you need to make a heavy investment in running back. 1387 01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:43,360 Speaker 1: I think you make the investment up front because your 1388 01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:46,960 Speaker 1: benefit is twofold. You benefit your running game, which thereby 1389 01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:49,040 Speaker 1: benefits your quarterback. And if your guys up front are 1390 01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:51,839 Speaker 1: good at run and pass, now you're helping your quarterback 1391 01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,320 Speaker 1: too because he's got more time to make decisions. Last night, 1392 01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,120 Speaker 1: Williams was the leading rusher of thirteen for fifty two. 1393 01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:01,720 Speaker 1: Edwards Hilaire at six for seven, well yeah, and he 1394 01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:04,080 Speaker 1: still wasn't healthy for the better part of the last 1395 01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:08,000 Speaker 1: two weeks. They're undrafted running back had to carry the 1396 01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:11,439 Speaker 1: load and did it successfully, in part because it's a 1397 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,559 Speaker 1: it's an think you would call it an elite offensive line, 1398 01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:16,880 Speaker 1: but it's an above average offensive line in Kansas City. 1399 01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:19,400 Speaker 1: They're certainly helped by the fact that they have elade 1400 01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:21,200 Speaker 1: athletes who get open quickly. They don't have to pass 1401 01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:24,240 Speaker 1: protect very long. Patrick Mahomes can buy some time, but 1402 01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:26,320 Speaker 1: they know how to run block. They're pretty good at that. 1403 01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:29,639 Speaker 1: So that's where it's at for me. So I would 1404 01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:32,160 Speaker 1: I would tend to agree with Steve. The old line 1405 01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:34,439 Speaker 1: and D line, I think is where you start and 1406 01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:37,280 Speaker 1: then get some elite athletes to play cornerback and cover 1407 01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:41,080 Speaker 1: some people. Because I'm just telling you right now, you look, 1408 01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:44,639 Speaker 1: just look alone and what the Raiders did last year 1409 01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,240 Speaker 1: in the draft, what the Broncos did last year in 1410 01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:50,639 Speaker 1: the draft. They put speed on the field because they 1411 01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:52,280 Speaker 1: know they got to keep pace with the team in 1412 01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:54,200 Speaker 1: their division that they have to play twice a year. 1413 01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:58,840 Speaker 1: Henry Ruggs gets drafted in Oakland, the Broncos draft kJ 1414 01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:03,519 Speaker 1: Hamler and Erry Judy in the same draft class because 1415 01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:06,639 Speaker 1: they know they gotta get faster. They have to match up. 1416 01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:09,400 Speaker 1: All these teams are adding receivers at a breakneck pace 1417 01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:12,400 Speaker 1: for some reason, the league is not adding cornerbacks at 1418 01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:15,040 Speaker 1: the same amount. It's not gonna add up. It's gonna 1419 01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:16,600 Speaker 1: be ugly, and it's why we had one of the 1420 01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:18,960 Speaker 1: highest scoring seasons in the history of the league this year. 1421 01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:21,720 Speaker 1: You're better draft corners around the league if you're an 1422 01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:25,240 Speaker 1: NFL team that needs help covering people, because you're gonna 1423 01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:27,920 Speaker 1: get outnumbered more weeks than not with all these teams 1424 01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:31,400 Speaker 1: drafting wideouts. Yeah, that's absolutely true. It's an arms race 1425 01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:33,360 Speaker 1: on both sides of the bowl. All Right. We have 1426 01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:35,160 Speaker 1: to take a break, but more of your phone calls 1427 01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:38,880 Speaker 1: when we return. So Sam and Buffalo, you're gonna lead 1428 01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:41,400 Speaker 1: us off. Next Rob in north Tonawan to Patrick and Buffalo, 1429 01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:43,720 Speaker 1: Zach and Rochester. Hang tight. We'll get to you guys 1430 01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:46,120 Speaker 1: when we return. Here on One Bills Live presented by 1431 01:13:46,160 --> 01:14:01,479 Speaker 1: Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back to One 1432 01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:05,040 Speaker 1: Bill's Live. Second half of the show. Rich Brown, Steve 1433 01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:06,439 Speaker 1: Tasker with you. We are going to get to the 1434 01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:08,200 Speaker 1: phones in just a second, but we wanted to bring 1435 01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:12,240 Speaker 1: you some player comments because it is locker clean out day. 1436 01:14:12,280 --> 01:14:14,719 Speaker 1: They waste no time. Once the season's over, the lockers 1437 01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:17,440 Speaker 1: get cleaned out, they have their exit interviews, exit physicals, 1438 01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:19,640 Speaker 1: and then they're off to their wherever they live in 1439 01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:23,519 Speaker 1: the off season. And Trudevius White addressing the media, So 1440 01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:26,639 Speaker 1: we want to join that here as Tredevious White addresses 1441 01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:28,639 Speaker 1: the media as he sums up the twenty twenty season. 1442 01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:33,840 Speaker 1: But what we did is is an amazing thing, man, 1443 01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:36,840 Speaker 1: It's something to be proud of. It's a building block. 1444 01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:41,320 Speaker 1: We're still getting better. We're the young team, ascending team. 1445 01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:44,640 Speaker 1: So the future is right for us if we, you know, 1446 01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:48,920 Speaker 1: continue to work hard and just believing, believing ourselves and 1447 01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:52,720 Speaker 1: continue to stay teaming and believing. You know that that 1448 01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:55,640 Speaker 1: growth mindset that Coachman Darment always preaches. So I feel like, 1449 01:14:55,640 --> 01:15:00,080 Speaker 1: you know, with the guys that we have and and 1450 01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:02,360 Speaker 1: the coaches that we have here, I feel like that 1451 01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:04,639 Speaker 1: we will be flying for for for some time here. 1452 01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:09,799 Speaker 1: And finally from me, just what specifically much specific lessons 1453 01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:13,599 Speaker 1: did you learn from you know, facing a Kansas City 1454 01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:17,080 Speaker 1: Chiefs team and defending Super Bowl champions twice and losing 1455 01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:19,280 Speaker 1: to them twice the way you guys did. What can 1456 01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:23,800 Speaker 1: you take away from from engaging measuring yourselves to them 1457 01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:28,200 Speaker 1: and those and how those two games ended, Uh, plain 1458 01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:30,920 Speaker 1: and simple. To get to where we want to be, 1459 01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:34,439 Speaker 1: that's gonna be, you know, the team that we're gonna 1460 01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:36,479 Speaker 1: have to go over to to be, We're gonna have 1461 01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:40,439 Speaker 1: to find a way to beat them. They have the 1462 01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:45,360 Speaker 1: pieces that they have, how dynamic their offense is, how 1463 01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:47,960 Speaker 1: great their defense is. It's taking at taking a bottle away, 1464 01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:51,160 Speaker 1: And that's the team that if we want to get 1465 01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:52,720 Speaker 1: to where we want to go, that's the team that 1466 01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:55,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to be.

Oh yeah, I'm I'm I'm definitely 1506 01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:02,799 Speaker 1: It's definitely something that um yeah, I mean I'm happy 1507 01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:05,920 Speaker 1: that I did.

It was something that, 1510 01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:12,759 Speaker 1: like I said, it's something to be proud of because 1511 01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:15,320 Speaker 1: we did it with a new core guy. So we 1512 01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:18,400 Speaker 1: did it in a shortened and limited offseason where we 1513 01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:21,160 Speaker 1: couldn't get the work that we necessarily would and and 1514 01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:24,800 Speaker 1: and in a in a normal year. But it just 1515 01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,679 Speaker 1: goes to show, you know, the power of of of 1516 01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:31,000 Speaker 1: just believing in the scheme, believing in you know, my 1517 01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:35,639 Speaker 1: believing in the mantro that you know, playoff caliber, make 1518 01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:39,560 Speaker 1: to the playoffs championship. Calibal, like everybody around this organization, 1519 01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:41,960 Speaker 1: around this building has the same goal, and that's to 1520 01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:44,200 Speaker 1: win the super Bowl. And and it's a day to 1521 01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:46,600 Speaker 1: day standard, and it's a day to day process, and 1522 01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:50,479 Speaker 1: everybody in this building buys into it. So it's a 1523 01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:53,320 Speaker 1: special time to you know, be a best Buffalo building. 1524 01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:55,479 Speaker 1: I'm happy that I was a part of, you know 1525 01:18:55,520 --> 01:19:05,080 Speaker 1: the journeys, Hey, Trey, When you how are you all right? 1526 01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:07,960 Speaker 1: When you think back to the season, maybe in a 1527 01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:10,040 Speaker 1: couple of months from now, or maybe as you guys 1528 01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:13,360 Speaker 1: are are back on the field preparing for the next season, 1529 01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:15,759 Speaker 1: what do you think you're going to remember most about 1530 01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:18,800 Speaker 1: this twenty twenty season, this weird season that we all 1531 01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:24,240 Speaker 1: really didn't expect. I remember a lot I mean, just 1532 01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:27,320 Speaker 1: starting for it, losing two straight and then you know, 1533 01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:31,439 Speaker 1: going on a little run and then losing the Hail 1534 01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:34,280 Speaker 1: Marry throw, and then going on and win eighth straight 1535 01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:36,800 Speaker 1: and just going into the a FC Championship. It's a 1536 01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:39,559 Speaker 1: lot to remember. And the most thing that I remember 1537 01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:41,800 Speaker 1: was the times that I share with my teammates, just 1538 01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:45,640 Speaker 1: the practice in the locker room, joking around on the 1539 01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:49,240 Speaker 1: plane rides back from away games. Uh, those are the 1540 01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:52,120 Speaker 1: times that the things that I'm going to cherish the 1541 01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:55,559 Speaker 1: most and remember the most, because you know, in the NFL, uh, 1542 01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:58,599 Speaker 1: you know, things like this don't happen. These opportunities don't 1543 01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:00,760 Speaker 1: come around often, and when they do, you gotta cherish. 1544 01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:03,639 Speaker 1: I mean, I can truly say that I really cherished 1545 01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:06,760 Speaker 1: every moment of the season, every moment that I share 1546 01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:08,680 Speaker 1: with my teammates, because you know, it was it was 1547 01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:11,800 Speaker 1: a bond that we built over his dad last few 1548 01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:15,120 Speaker 1: months that I always cherished for a lifetime. So I'm 1549 01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:17,120 Speaker 1: happy that I was able to do it with these 1550 01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:19,519 Speaker 1: guys and do it on this team in h for 1551 01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:24,439 Speaker 1: this organization. All right. That's tradevious White. Right after cleaning 1552 01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:27,320 Speaker 1: out his locker and going through exit interviews, the players 1553 01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:29,000 Speaker 1: will be doing that most of the day today, a 1554 01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:30,960 Speaker 1: lot of players to get through for the coaches to 1555 01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:34,000 Speaker 1: each individually spend time with kind of give them the 1556 01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:36,200 Speaker 1: four one one on what they thought of their season, 1557 01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:40,559 Speaker 1: and then the exit physicals as well, so they've got 1558 01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:44,040 Speaker 1: something to go off of when the players return. But Steve, 1559 01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:46,960 Speaker 1: he said it, the Chiefs are the standard in the AFC, 1560 01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:50,400 Speaker 1: and I think Trudevious, along with a lot of guys 1561 01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:53,280 Speaker 1: in that locker room, realize there is another rung or 1562 01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:55,519 Speaker 1: two for them to climb on the ladder to meet 1563 01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:58,760 Speaker 1: that standard. Yeah, there's no question about it. And they're 1564 01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:01,320 Speaker 1: not going anywhere for a while. Those guys are are locked. 1565 01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:03,880 Speaker 1: Those three guys that heard them last night, you know, 1566 01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:06,200 Speaker 1: the tight end, the run, the wide receiver, and the 1567 01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:10,280 Speaker 1: quarterback aren't going anywhere. The quarterback for sure, and they're 1568 01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:11,960 Speaker 1: gonna have to find a way to get around those guys. 1569 01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:14,040 Speaker 1: And it's uh and today it doesn't feel like it. 1570 01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:16,519 Speaker 1: You know, it feels like a long time off before 1571 01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:19,040 Speaker 1: that'll happen. But they are going to play next season 1572 01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:21,800 Speaker 1: during the regular season again, so we'll get a chance 1573 01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:24,519 Speaker 1: to see it. There's no question though, those guys are 1574 01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:26,720 Speaker 1: the standard bear for the conference, and they are for 1575 01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:29,680 Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. They will play each other because they 1576 01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:33,960 Speaker 1: both finished first in their respective divisions, and so that's 1577 01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:36,320 Speaker 1: how it works in terms of the two divisions. You 1578 01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:39,680 Speaker 1: do not play in your own conference. So they will 1579 01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:42,120 Speaker 1: face each other again next season. But let's get to 1580 01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:44,280 Speaker 1: the phones as promised, and we'll go to Sam and 1581 01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:47,760 Speaker 1: Buffalo to lead us off here. If my cursor will work, 1582 01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:50,000 Speaker 1: here we go, Sam, Sam, you're on one bills live. 1583 01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:52,479 Speaker 1: What do you have for us? Hey, what's up? Guys? 1584 01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:56,400 Speaker 1: Obviously a little disappointed. You know, it's a great run, 1585 01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:58,799 Speaker 1: but you know, kind of same way went out yesterday 1586 01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:01,640 Speaker 1: was a little a little disharteneding be a little frustrating, 1587 01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:04,240 Speaker 1: but a really question for you guys, Steve sitting up 1588 01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:06,400 Speaker 1: in the booth, just if you guys see, well I 1589 01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:08,840 Speaker 1: can get you guys are at home, but well at 1590 01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:12,360 Speaker 1: the stadium. But um, you know, I was really kind 1591 01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:15,040 Speaker 1: of disappointed in I don't want to say the game plan, 1592 01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:18,439 Speaker 1: but the lack of use of like misdirection and stuff 1593 01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:21,559 Speaker 1: like that. Um, the Chiefs were really aggressive with the 1594 01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:24,600 Speaker 1: wide receivers. I mean every still they pulled up like 1595 01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:26,400 Speaker 1: it was like glue. I mean, the guys are all 1596 01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:28,880 Speaker 1: over them and nothing. They're a little handy, but you know, 1597 01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:32,120 Speaker 1: it's playoff football. But I was just really shocked and 1598 01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:35,280 Speaker 1: we didn't really get McKenzie involved much. Um, I felt 1599 01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:37,599 Speaker 1: like some of that stuff help slow down the pass rush. 1600 01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:41,719 Speaker 1: Take advantage some of that. Uh you know, they're aggressive 1601 01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:43,599 Speaker 1: this and you know, turning to run with the white 1602 01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:46,320 Speaker 1: outs we have and you know, getting some of those blitzpeaterers. 1603 01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:50,720 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, hey, I'll take an AFC championship game. Um, 1604 01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:54,280 Speaker 1: you know obviously expect different outcome, but uh, you know, 1605 01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:56,840 Speaker 1: I'm ready for the right next season. So let's go Bills. 1606 01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:00,439 Speaker 1: All right, thanks for the call, Sam, appreciate it. M Steve. 1607 01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:03,479 Speaker 1: What do we think of that? Because last night I'm 1608 01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:05,920 Speaker 1: watching the game saying, Okay, if you can't get separation, 1609 01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:09,120 Speaker 1: there are ways to create that. You can use rub routes, right, 1610 01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:11,559 Speaker 1: that's one option. You can stack guys at the line 1611 01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:14,640 Speaker 1: of scrimmage and try to cross up the route combinations 1612 01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:20,200 Speaker 1: with the coverage assignments. And yeah, he's right. Isaiah mackenzie's 1613 01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:23,599 Speaker 1: time on the field dropped dramatically in the playoffs from 1614 01:23:23,640 --> 01:23:29,400 Speaker 1: what it was during the regular season. Oh no, only 1615 01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:33,000 Speaker 1: in Week seventeen. I mean, say, Mackenzie didn't play much 1616 01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:35,400 Speaker 1: in the regular season on down and distance because of 1617 01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:39,479 Speaker 1: Gabe Davis's play, but even in the red zone, he 1618 01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:41,439 Speaker 1: would play more in the regular season than we had 1619 01:23:41,439 --> 01:23:42,960 Speaker 1: seen him in the playoffs, I would think. I mean, 1620 01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:45,639 Speaker 1: I'll go check. He had a fourth down conversion last night, 1621 01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:49,680 Speaker 1: I think, which was a nice one. But yeah, you're right, 1622 01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:58,120 Speaker 1: and I get it. Today is second guess ors Christmas. 1623 01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:02,200 Speaker 1: I mean, there's plenty of room for that when you 1624 01:24:02,240 --> 01:24:04,080 Speaker 1: lose a game like you did last night, plenty of 1625 01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:06,120 Speaker 1: room for that. You can you can blame the players, 1626 01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:08,360 Speaker 1: you can blame the coaches. You can blame decisions, you 1627 01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:11,160 Speaker 1: can blame game plans, you can blame PEP preparation, you 1628 01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:16,360 Speaker 1: can be game you can blame what ifs and all that. Okay, 1629 01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:20,520 Speaker 1: but they played the best team in the league last night, 1630 01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:24,639 Speaker 1: and that team was playing its best and they lost 1631 01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:29,400 Speaker 1: by two touchdowns, which I've had their chances to make 1632 01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:31,880 Speaker 1: it closer. But there's a lot of things that had 1633 01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:33,800 Speaker 1: to happen last night for the Bills to win that game. 1634 01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:36,360 Speaker 1: So or what you're saying is even if the Bills 1635 01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:39,240 Speaker 1: made all the right calls from the booth and the sidelines, 1636 01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:42,960 Speaker 1: and even if they executed almost perfectly, they still may 1637 01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:45,640 Speaker 1: not have won the game. Is that what you're kind 1638 01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:47,720 Speaker 1: of getting at. I'll tell you this, I think the 1639 01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:51,679 Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs had even the way it turned out, 1640 01:24:52,120 --> 01:24:55,280 Speaker 1: if everything went the way the Bills wanted to go, 1641 01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:58,360 Speaker 1: they scored two touchdowns instead of two field goals, and 1642 01:24:58,439 --> 01:25:01,000 Speaker 1: they get the extra point, and they've got an extra 1643 01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:03,439 Speaker 1: what is it nine points on there on them, So 1644 01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:05,719 Speaker 1: that's an extra nine points on there. You're down five, 1645 01:25:05,960 --> 01:25:07,400 Speaker 1: and the Chiefs have the ball at the end of 1646 01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:11,520 Speaker 1: the game. They still didn't get the ball back. Yeah, 1647 01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:15,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I um, it's I get it. You can 1648 01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:17,040 Speaker 1: second guess them all you want. They got outplayed. They 1649 01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:20,160 Speaker 1: got outplayed last night by great players, right, which is 1650 01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:22,760 Speaker 1: that's that's nothing to be embarrassed about or ashamed of. 1651 01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:26,400 Speaker 1: The Chiefs play great deserve to win the game. You 1652 01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:29,360 Speaker 1: can say, yeah, yes, it's You can say that anytime 1653 01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:30,880 Speaker 1: you lose a game, and you can even say when 1654 01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:33,960 Speaker 1: you win, although nobody does, you should have done ABC 1655 01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:35,880 Speaker 1: or D in the game plan, or this different or 1656 01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:38,120 Speaker 1: called this play instead of that play. You know, you 1657 01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:40,920 Speaker 1: do something different every time it doesn't work. Yeah, you 1658 01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:44,920 Speaker 1: probably do something better. You probably played better. The trick 1659 01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:49,120 Speaker 1: is to do that before you know it's not gonna work. Um, 1660 01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:53,040 Speaker 1: so I yeah, it's like I said, it's second guess 1661 01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:56,160 Speaker 1: there's Christmas this morning, right, And you know, I'll go 1662 01:25:56,200 --> 01:25:58,200 Speaker 1: back to what I said at the top of the show. 1663 01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:00,400 Speaker 1: At the end of the day, it's an execution more 1664 01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:02,600 Speaker 1: than it is anything else. And we saw that in 1665 01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:05,640 Speaker 1: Houston last year in the wild card game. Their execution 1666 01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:07,519 Speaker 1: was not up to par and they paid for it. 1667 01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:10,160 Speaker 1: And yet last night, their execution was not up to 1668 01:26:10,160 --> 01:26:12,960 Speaker 1: par on the field, and ultimately they paid for it 1669 01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:16,559 Speaker 1: against the team that's arguably the best in football, probably 1670 01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:19,880 Speaker 1: the best in football. Forget about arguably probably the best 1671 01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:23,680 Speaker 1: team in football. Dradevious White's interview brought to you by 1672 01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:27,520 Speaker 1: Connect Life Around the Locker Room, Connect Life, your Blood 1673 01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:31,479 Speaker 1: and Organ Donor Network.

Back on One Bills Live. 1677 01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:54,760 Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you on this morning of 1678 01:26:54,800 --> 01:27:00,679 Speaker 1: a Monday. As the Bills very exciting, very entertaining twenty 1679 01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:04,880 Speaker 1: twenty season came to a close yesterday in Kansas City. 1680 01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:06,439 Speaker 1: We do want to get right back to the phones 1681 01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:08,960 Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on it and what you took 1682 01:27:08,960 --> 01:27:12,000 Speaker 1: away from it. We go to Rob in north Tonawanda. Next. Rob, 1683 01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:15,000 Speaker 1: you're on one Bills Live. What do you have for us? Hey, guys, 1684 01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:18,240 Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. Um. I want to say 1685 01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:21,960 Speaker 1: that I'm proud of what they did this season. I mean, 1686 01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:24,960 Speaker 1: they had they made it a great run, I'll admit 1687 01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:28,439 Speaker 1: to that. But I'm I'm looking at like way way 1688 01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:31,840 Speaker 1: Kansas City plays, and they got themselves a tight end 1689 01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:35,360 Speaker 1: to take the pressure off of great receiver like Tyreek 1690 01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:37,840 Speaker 1: Hell and that, and I would like to see the 1691 01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:42,160 Speaker 1: Bills like go after a a tight end that we'll 1692 01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:45,920 Speaker 1: take pressure off of the receivers, you know, because what 1693 01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,559 Speaker 1: I think what Kansas City was doing was double gaming 1694 01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:52,960 Speaker 1: digs pretty much the majority of the whole game, and 1695 01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:58,439 Speaker 1: probably and it's probably was affecting Josh and a lot 1696 01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:00,519 Speaker 1: in the other today. And that's what I thought, That's 1697 01:28:00,520 --> 01:28:02,080 Speaker 1: what I took out of it. I think we didn't 1698 01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:05,160 Speaker 1: need a tight ended we're going to be a passing 1699 01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:11,160 Speaker 1: team to take pressure off the receiver. Yeah. Sure, I'm 1700 01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:14,040 Speaker 1: all in for that. If you can find Travis Kelsey 1701 01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:22,120 Speaker 1: or Kittle, Yeah, they don't grow U Anthony, Tony Gonzalez, 1702 01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:26,800 Speaker 1: Um Johnson Knox is an athletic player, and he's young 1703 01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:29,760 Speaker 1: at the position. I think we have to remember that. 1704 01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:33,519 Speaker 1: You know, he played quarterback in high school, went to Ole, Miss, 1705 01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:36,679 Speaker 1: was not really involved in the passing game. He caught 1706 01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:40,240 Speaker 1: fifteen passes in his college career. Young at the position, 1707 01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:42,840 Speaker 1: I think they believe that he can still develop in 1708 01:28:42,880 --> 01:28:46,240 Speaker 1: The ceiling is high for him. Is he gonna be 1709 01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:48,360 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey? I don't know if anybody's gonna be that. 1710 01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:51,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you could make the argument Travis Kelson was 1711 01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:54,920 Speaker 1: one of the better tight ends we've seen. Who don't know, 1712 01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:57,240 Speaker 1: I don't know how many years Kelsey's been in the league. 1713 01:28:57,240 --> 01:28:59,200 Speaker 1: I can't I don't know, but it's his eighth season. 1714 01:28:59,320 --> 01:29:03,559 Speaker 1: So in the last four years, has there been a 1715 01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:05,639 Speaker 1: tight end to come out of the college ranks that's 1716 01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:10,680 Speaker 1: anywhere near to Kelsey? Wow, it's Kittle probably right. He 1717 01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:13,680 Speaker 1: hits your closest thing. He's in his fourth year, fourth year. 1718 01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:17,000 Speaker 1: And then you got the kid up in Detroit that 1719 01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:20,280 Speaker 1: they picked right before or right after, right before ed 1720 01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:24,960 Speaker 1: Oliver t J. Hockinson. You know that good? Well, we 1721 01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:31,240 Speaker 1: don't know because right they've got a great quarterback and 1722 01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:34,360 Speaker 1: if t J. Yeah, and I remember they no a 1723 01:29:34,479 --> 01:29:38,840 Speaker 1: fan came out at the same time, played with Drew Locke. 1724 01:29:39,360 --> 01:29:44,200 Speaker 1: Um that. My point is this, if you knew the 1725 01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:45,840 Speaker 1: guy was gonna be that guy, yeah, he'd be the 1726 01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:48,920 Speaker 1: first pick of the draft. The problem is, you don't 1727 01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:52,559 Speaker 1: really find those guys. To me, you don't really find 1728 01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:54,240 Speaker 1: him in the draft. You take a shot out, I'm sure, 1729 01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:55,800 Speaker 1: and they turn out that way. But the best way 1730 01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:58,640 Speaker 1: to do it is to steal him, sign him from 1731 01:29:58,640 --> 01:30:00,320 Speaker 1: somebody else in trade for him, you got own come 1732 01:30:00,320 --> 01:30:02,280 Speaker 1: out of You gotta get a known commodity if you 1733 01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:03,840 Speaker 1: really want a good tight end. If you're gonna try 1734 01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:07,200 Speaker 1: and develop one, the chances are he's not gonna be 1735 01:30:07,240 --> 01:30:10,640 Speaker 1: as good as you want him to be. Um. But yeah, 1736 01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:12,320 Speaker 1: I agree with you. Everybody would love to have a 1737 01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:17,600 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey or a zach Ertz or a Gronkowski in 1738 01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:21,120 Speaker 1: his prime or a what is it Jason Kittle's his 1739 01:30:21,160 --> 01:30:24,160 Speaker 1: first name? No, it's George, George Kittle or George Kittle, 1740 01:30:24,439 --> 01:30:26,040 Speaker 1: all of those guys. Yeah, sure, give us one of 1741 01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:28,960 Speaker 1: those guys, but um, you're gonna spend the number one 1742 01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:32,360 Speaker 1: draft pick on a maybe Darren Waller. Yeah, and even 1743 01:30:32,439 --> 01:30:33,840 Speaker 1: that guy who has been on a couple of different 1744 01:30:33,840 --> 01:30:38,120 Speaker 1: teams before he found himself. So yeah, all right, well, yes, 1745 01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:41,559 Speaker 1: we'll be on the lookout. Rob Love too. That's one 1746 01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:47,479 Speaker 1: of those great idea. Send us your suggestion. Oh, let's 1747 01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:50,680 Speaker 1: back to the phones. Here we go to Zach and Rochester. Zach, 1748 01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:52,280 Speaker 1: what do you have for us here? On one Bill's Live, 1749 01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:58,160 Speaker 1: how Old's gone? Fellas Good? What do you got for us? Right? Well, 1750 01:30:58,400 --> 01:31:01,840 Speaker 1: everybody's gonna stow my thunder. With the tight end situation 1751 01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:04,479 Speaker 1: and the running back situation, we need somebody like Aaron 1752 01:31:04,560 --> 01:31:06,800 Speaker 1: Jones so we can get four or five yards a 1753 01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:10,400 Speaker 1: carry to make that first down a little easier to get. 1754 01:31:11,120 --> 01:31:13,720 Speaker 1: And we got to remember this team went fifteen and 1755 01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:16,360 Speaker 1: two this year. The only two of the losses is 1756 01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:19,720 Speaker 1: to the eventual world champion, Chanpa City. You can lock 1757 01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:23,080 Speaker 1: this up. They crap out of Tampa Bay because Tampa 1758 01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:25,360 Speaker 1: Bay tried to give that game to Green Bay yesterday 1759 01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:29,439 Speaker 1: but one thing I really looked at this morning. They 1760 01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:33,679 Speaker 1: showed a picture of Stefan Diggs sitting there watching all 1761 01:31:33,680 --> 01:31:36,880 Speaker 1: of that solid celebration for Kansas City and it took 1762 01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:40,280 Speaker 1: the coach McDermott to get him out. I liked that. 1763 01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:42,559 Speaker 1: That makes me knows that he's a competitor and we 1764 01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:45,720 Speaker 1: need more of that, especially with a pass rusher. We 1765 01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:47,800 Speaker 1: gotta get us a pass rusher to come in and 1766 01:31:47,960 --> 01:31:50,599 Speaker 1: help the team out. What you guys think, Yeah, thanks 1767 01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:53,160 Speaker 1: for the call, Zach Zack. Yeah, I mean you saw 1768 01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:55,559 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs standing out there because I think he wants 1769 01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:58,240 Speaker 1: to remember what that feels like. He wants to remember 1770 01:31:58,280 --> 01:32:01,439 Speaker 1: the feeling of losing in the AFC Championship game, and 1771 01:32:01,560 --> 01:32:03,479 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to forget it all offseason, so he 1772 01:32:03,680 --> 01:32:05,880 Speaker 1: decided I'm going to take this all in, take it 1773 01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:08,200 Speaker 1: all in. It hurts man to stand out there and 1774 01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:10,599 Speaker 1: watch those guys celebrate in a game that you had 1775 01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:12,639 Speaker 1: an opportunity, or at least you felt like you did. 1776 01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:14,840 Speaker 1: And he also brought out a good thing. The Bills 1777 01:32:14,840 --> 01:32:16,840 Speaker 1: are fifteen and two against the NFL and o and 1778 01:32:16,880 --> 01:32:19,800 Speaker 1: two against the Chiefs this year, and one of those 1779 01:32:19,880 --> 01:32:23,800 Speaker 1: two losses was a Hail Murray. The Bills are really good, 1780 01:32:23,840 --> 01:32:27,240 Speaker 1: and they're really they're close, but the Chiefs are on 1781 01:32:27,280 --> 01:32:30,200 Speaker 1: another level and you got to acknowledge that. And I 1782 01:32:30,240 --> 01:32:33,280 Speaker 1: think whether you're fifteen and two or seventeen and oh, 1783 01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:35,000 Speaker 1: if there's a team out there that you're o and 1784 01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:37,920 Speaker 1: two against other than the rest of the league, that's 1785 01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:39,760 Speaker 1: the team you got to find a way to beat. 1786 01:32:40,439 --> 01:32:43,200 Speaker 1: The Bills look like they're lined up to have to 1787 01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:46,800 Speaker 1: meet that club if they want to keep this thing rolling, 1788 01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:48,960 Speaker 1: which it looks like they can. I mean, I this 1789 01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:52,920 Speaker 1: culture and this roster turnover that they have done over 1790 01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:55,439 Speaker 1: the last four years. They've consistently had a lot of 1791 01:32:55,479 --> 01:32:57,479 Speaker 1: new faces and a lot of new contributors every year, 1792 01:32:57,479 --> 01:32:59,400 Speaker 1: and they've gotten it together by the end of the 1793 01:32:59,439 --> 01:33:03,960 Speaker 1: season to put together pretty good team. They got to 1794 01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:05,800 Speaker 1: get better, and they got to put it together in 1795 01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:09,439 Speaker 1: a way that will stand up to the Chiefs and 1796 01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:11,120 Speaker 1: the test of the Chiefs, And maybe that's the most 1797 01:33:11,200 --> 01:33:15,439 Speaker 1: daunting thing. I Mean, this team made huge leaps this year. 1798 01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:18,960 Speaker 1: Josh with his play, the points scoring prowess of this 1799 01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:22,519 Speaker 1: offense second in the league, even the defense, the way 1800 01:33:22,520 --> 01:33:24,320 Speaker 1: they were able to come around in the second half 1801 01:33:24,320 --> 01:33:26,960 Speaker 1: of the season, special teams in the kicking game, and 1802 01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:30,480 Speaker 1: the jump that made between Tyler Bass and Corey Bojorquez. 1803 01:33:30,920 --> 01:33:33,639 Speaker 1: I mean that took a leap to this year, all 1804 01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:36,000 Speaker 1: of these strides they made, and yet there is still 1805 01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:40,920 Speaker 1: this chasm that exists between the Bills and the Chiefs, 1806 01:33:40,960 --> 01:33:42,839 Speaker 1: which is the top of the mountain in the AFC, 1807 01:33:43,320 --> 01:33:47,519 Speaker 1: And so as encouraged as you are, there's still work 1808 01:33:47,600 --> 01:33:49,960 Speaker 1: to do. And coach said this much last night after 1809 01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:53,280 Speaker 1: the game. He's like, yeah, he goes, they've got some 1810 01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:57,360 Speaker 1: unique talents. They've got a few of them, Kelsey Hill Hardman. 1811 01:33:57,479 --> 01:34:00,360 Speaker 1: He said, we've got some work to do this off season, 1812 01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:03,040 Speaker 1: as he recognized. As well as the Bills played, and 1813 01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:05,920 Speaker 1: as much as they lumped up a really tough schedule 1814 01:34:05,920 --> 01:34:09,080 Speaker 1: in the NFL, they had a really difficult, daunting skame 1815 01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:11,360 Speaker 1: navigated all of it, and they got through all of it, 1816 01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:14,880 Speaker 1: there still seems to be a long step ahead of 1817 01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:16,519 Speaker 1: him to get up to the point where now I 1818 01:34:16,520 --> 01:34:18,479 Speaker 1: think the Bills are up there. They deserve to be 1819 01:34:18,479 --> 01:34:22,479 Speaker 1: in the final four, absolutely deserved it. The Chiefs played 1820 01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:24,320 Speaker 1: as good as they could play and showed up big, 1821 01:34:25,720 --> 01:34:28,160 Speaker 1: so I would you know, caution a lot of people 1822 01:34:28,880 --> 01:34:33,680 Speaker 1: over you know, you know, you got the crazies out 1823 01:34:33,680 --> 01:34:36,439 Speaker 1: there saying, hey, Brian Dables gotta go, Leslie Fraser's gotta go. 1824 01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:38,519 Speaker 1: All the you know, they start firing people and hell mean, 1825 01:34:38,560 --> 01:34:43,360 Speaker 1: come on, come on, just calm down. Yeah, you just 1826 01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:46,040 Speaker 1: gotta do what you do and do it better. You 1827 01:34:46,120 --> 01:34:48,200 Speaker 1: got to find people that will help you do it better. 1828 01:34:48,439 --> 01:34:50,519 Speaker 1: And then they added and you know, strategically add some 1829 01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:52,679 Speaker 1: pieces in the off season. They will do that, which 1830 01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:54,479 Speaker 1: they have done a very good job up through the 1831 01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:57,000 Speaker 1: first I'll say this two off seasons. I mean, roster 1832 01:34:57,200 --> 01:34:59,880 Speaker 1: is miles better than it was three years ago. This 1833 01:35:00,120 --> 01:35:01,400 Speaker 1: not the time to talk about what they're going to 1834 01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:03,160 Speaker 1: do going forward, although you know they've got work to do. 1835 01:35:03,200 --> 01:35:05,960 Speaker 1: We can talk about that. Listen, this offseason coming up. 1836 01:35:06,080 --> 01:35:08,719 Speaker 1: Saw you thought last offseason was gonna be was tough, 1837 01:35:08,720 --> 01:35:11,720 Speaker 1: and it was because of COVID and they couldn't get 1838 01:35:11,720 --> 01:35:13,640 Speaker 1: together and all that. This one is going to be 1839 01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:17,519 Speaker 1: absolutely monumental because the salary CAP's going to be cut 1840 01:35:18,600 --> 01:35:23,080 Speaker 1: and a lot of really good football players are going 1841 01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:26,840 Speaker 1: to be released by their teams because of salary cap implications, 1842 01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:30,479 Speaker 1: Like talented household name players. The culture that the Buffalo 1843 01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:33,320 Speaker 1: Bills have got here and the vibe that's coming out 1844 01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:35,680 Speaker 1: of this building is going to be pretty enticing for 1845 01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:39,439 Speaker 1: a lot of those really good football players. Just focus 1846 01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:41,400 Speaker 1: on that for just a minute, think about that and 1847 01:35:41,479 --> 01:35:42,720 Speaker 1: go down. You can go on, you can do the 1848 01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:44,960 Speaker 1: research yourself going all these teams. Look how far over 1849 01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:46,519 Speaker 1: the cap they are, even at the two hundred and 1850 01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:50,040 Speaker 1: twelve million dollar cap they were over, which it's gonna 1851 01:35:50,080 --> 01:35:53,840 Speaker 1: be like a buck eighty. There's gonna be a lot 1852 01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:57,040 Speaker 1: of really good football players available who would be who 1853 01:35:57,040 --> 01:35:59,360 Speaker 1: would love to come play for this organization at this 1854 01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:01,880 Speaker 1: point in history. For what they've got going on, it's 1855 01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:07,120 Speaker 1: going to be an unbelievable, unbelievably tumultuous offseason for that reason, 1856 01:36:07,320 --> 01:36:09,439 Speaker 1: break time for us. But when we come back, we'll 1857 01:36:09,479 --> 01:36:12,839 Speaker 1: get back to locker clean out day and Cole Beasley 1858 01:36:12,880 --> 01:36:15,920 Speaker 1: expected to address the media here, so we'll get some 1859 01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:19,000 Speaker 1: of his comments on the air for you next when 1860 01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:21,639 Speaker 1: we return here.

I just wanted 1894 01:38:10,160 --> 01:38:13,920 Speaker 1: to ask you what did uh? Obviously John Brown had 1895 01:38:13,920 --> 01:38:16,800 Speaker 1: a bit of a tough season with injuries. Um, when 1896 01:38:16,840 --> 01:38:19,320 Speaker 1: he's in there for you guys, what does he add 1897 01:38:19,360 --> 01:38:21,639 Speaker 1: to the offense that maybe you don't have when he's 1898 01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:24,280 Speaker 1: not in there, and in particular what it means for 1899 01:38:24,320 --> 01:38:27,160 Speaker 1: you and for Stefan as well. Yeah, it just it 1900 01:38:27,240 --> 01:38:29,880 Speaker 1: just makes it harder for them to double team and 1901 01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:33,639 Speaker 1: take guys away when he's out. There. You know, he's 1902 01:38:33,640 --> 01:38:36,360 Speaker 1: not really a guy you can just play one on one. Um, 1903 01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:39,760 Speaker 1: So anytime you have a guy that can beat one 1904 01:38:39,800 --> 01:38:44,439 Speaker 1: on one coverage consistently asking to help your team and 1905 01:38:44,439 --> 01:38:48,240 Speaker 1: then for yourself personally, you had statistically your best season 1906 01:38:48,240 --> 01:38:51,800 Speaker 1: in the NFL, Do you take any satisfaction out of 1907 01:38:51,800 --> 01:38:54,639 Speaker 1: that when the when the year ends, uh as as 1908 01:38:54,640 --> 01:38:57,600 Speaker 1: tough as it did yesterday? Or is that something that 1909 01:38:57,640 --> 01:39:00,920 Speaker 1: maybe you know, as you get from the season here 1910 01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:03,000 Speaker 1: a little bit, you'll you'll reflect more on that kind 1911 01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:08,400 Speaker 1: of thing. Um. I think it was just, you know, 1912 01:39:10,360 --> 01:39:13,439 Speaker 1: I've never had a season where where I've had maybe 1913 01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:16,719 Speaker 1: you know, that much of a load. So just knowing 1914 01:39:16,760 --> 01:39:18,960 Speaker 1: that I can I can handle that, and then it 1915 01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:21,519 Speaker 1: teaches me about myself the things that maybe I need 1916 01:39:21,560 --> 01:39:24,320 Speaker 1: to do to be able to handle that maybe a 1917 01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:28,439 Speaker 1: little better. Um. Other than that, you know, it's just 1918 01:39:28,600 --> 01:39:33,280 Speaker 1: it's it's never something that's that's just satisfying to where 1919 01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:36,599 Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, I you know I did something good 1920 01:39:36,720 --> 01:39:38,920 Speaker 1: or whatever. But you know, to me, it's like a 1921 01:39:38,960 --> 01:39:41,760 Speaker 1: step in the right direction of getting to where I 1922 01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:46,519 Speaker 1: want to be and improving, And um, I think I'm 1923 01:39:46,520 --> 01:39:49,240 Speaker 1: gonna get better from from the stuff that I've learned 1924 01:39:49,280 --> 01:39:53,200 Speaker 1: this season. Thanks call, I appreciate your time off season. 1925 01:39:53,200 --> 01:39:55,640 Speaker 1: I have a good off season. I appreciate it.

So um, we're building and learning with each other. 1935 01:40:29,960 --> 01:40:32,800 Speaker 1: And you know, we took a step last season and 1936 01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:35,160 Speaker 1: then we took another step this year. So I mean 1937 01:40:35,200 --> 01:40:37,840 Speaker 1: there's only one one more place to go. So that's 1938 01:40:37,880 --> 01:40:41,560 Speaker 1: the goal. Absolutely cool. And um, when you get a 1939 01:40:41,640 --> 01:40:44,280 Speaker 1: chance to sit back and reflect on this season, how 1940 01:40:44,320 --> 01:40:48,800 Speaker 1: would that motivate you going into this off season? I mean, 1941 01:40:51,800 --> 01:40:55,080 Speaker 1: you know, I don't really need any extra motivation. You know, 1942 01:40:55,160 --> 01:40:58,479 Speaker 1: I've I've had it my whole life, you know, I 1943 01:40:58,600 --> 01:41:02,280 Speaker 1: mean I don't know, I didn't I didn't need to 1944 01:41:02,400 --> 01:41:05,799 Speaker 1: lose yesterday to be motivated. I was already motivated before, 1945 01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:09,479 Speaker 1: So I mean, I'm still in the same spot as 1946 01:41:09,520 --> 01:41:11,639 Speaker 1: I was before. I wanted it bad yesterday. I still 1947 01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:14,200 Speaker 1: want it bad now. So I'm gonna keep working until 1948 01:41:14,240 --> 01:41:16,280 Speaker 1: I get there. That's been the goal since day one. 1949 01:41:16,920 --> 01:41:21,080 Speaker 1: Mir NFL Network, How are you good? Are you good? Hey? Uh? 1950 01:41:21,439 --> 01:41:23,719 Speaker 1: We know that you dealt with some physical stuff, especially 1951 01:41:23,800 --> 01:41:25,920 Speaker 1: with the knee there. Um late in the season and 1952 01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:28,640 Speaker 1: into the postseason. Is that something that's gonna need to 1953 01:41:28,680 --> 01:41:30,640 Speaker 1: be taken care of in the offseason or when you 1954 01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:33,320 Speaker 1: said you were gonna have a full offseason? You feel 1955 01:41:33,360 --> 01:41:38,080 Speaker 1: like you're just something. I broke my fibula, but I don't. 1956 01:41:38,439 --> 01:41:44,240 Speaker 1: It's nothing that needs to be surgically repaired. You broke 1957 01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:48,960 Speaker 1: your fibula. How did you manage that? Was It's not 1958 01:41:49,120 --> 01:41:53,479 Speaker 1: a it was not a full break, but um, but yeah, 1959 01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:55,880 Speaker 1: it's just something. I mean, it was. It was bad 1960 01:41:56,000 --> 01:41:58,720 Speaker 1: the first game I played, but after that, you know, 1961 01:41:58,800 --> 01:42:02,400 Speaker 1: it's kind of and you take it. You take a 1962 01:42:02,439 --> 01:42:09,320 Speaker 1: few meds and suck it up. Do you feel like that, well, 1963 01:42:09,400 --> 01:42:11,720 Speaker 1: it certainly didn't look yesterday that that deterred you at 1964 01:42:11,720 --> 01:42:15,640 Speaker 1: all in your movements. I mean, it wasn't enough to 1965 01:42:16,240 --> 01:42:19,400 Speaker 1: to really affect me like that. No, not at that's 1966 01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:24,680 Speaker 1: this point. Only that that first game and um the 1967 01:42:24,840 --> 01:42:27,160 Speaker 1: Ravens a little bit. But this game I felt pretty good. 1968 01:42:27,240 --> 01:42:30,639 Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna there's no excuse for for anything. 1969 01:42:31,640 --> 01:42:33,439 Speaker 1: And if I may shoot shift gears a little bit. 1970 01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:36,200 Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned being with Josh for a second year, 1971 01:42:36,240 --> 01:42:38,400 Speaker 1: and I know, having talked to you before and having 1972 01:42:38,439 --> 01:42:41,040 Speaker 1: heard you talk this year, he takes a lot of 1973 01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:44,280 Speaker 1: responsibility on himself and again yesterday in the post game 1974 01:42:44,400 --> 01:42:46,519 Speaker 1: sort of I just have to be better. I have 1975 01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:50,920 Speaker 1: to make better decisions. M How do you view that 1976 01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:52,640 Speaker 1: as a veteran player, I mean, is that is he 1977 01:42:52,720 --> 01:42:55,960 Speaker 1: putting too much on himself? Or is that exactly what 1978 01:42:56,040 --> 01:42:58,559 Speaker 1: you want to see out of your leader. I mean, 1979 01:42:58,880 --> 01:43:00,400 Speaker 1: I mean you always want to see some type of 1980 01:43:00,439 --> 01:43:03,760 Speaker 1: accountability from from any player on your team. But I 1981 01:43:03,840 --> 01:43:06,640 Speaker 1: mean he's always I can say that he's being too 1982 01:43:06,720 --> 01:43:08,959 Speaker 1: hard on himself, but he's going to do that regardless 1983 01:43:08,960 --> 01:43:10,439 Speaker 1: of what I say, because that's the type of guy 1984 01:43:10,479 --> 01:43:12,639 Speaker 1: he is, and that's why we love him so much. 1985 01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:15,120 Speaker 1: You know. Um, you know, anytime we lose a game, 1986 01:43:15,160 --> 01:43:18,040 Speaker 1: whether he could have thrown for four hundred yards and 1987 01:43:18,080 --> 01:43:21,240 Speaker 1: three touchdowns and still said the same thing if we lost. So, um, 1988 01:43:22,479 --> 01:43:24,920 Speaker 1: you know, it's we all got to be better. You know, 1989 01:43:25,040 --> 01:43:29,479 Speaker 1: no one player can can win a football game, you know. So, um, 1990 01:43:30,960 --> 01:43:32,840 Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure there's some things he feels he 1991 01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:34,960 Speaker 1: needs to do better, but also we need to do 1992 01:43:35,360 --> 01:43:37,599 Speaker 1: a lot better job on our end him making an 1993 01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:41,400 Speaker 1: easier for him, you know. So he shouldn't have to 1994 01:43:41,520 --> 01:43:44,320 Speaker 1: be have to be superman every game for us to 1995 01:43:44,560 --> 01:43:46,040 Speaker 1: for us to win, and he did that a lot 1996 01:43:46,160 --> 01:43:48,320 Speaker 1: this year. So I mean, we wouldn't have gotten we 1997 01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:51,360 Speaker 1: wouldn't even been there if it weren't for him. So, um, 1998 01:43:52,200 --> 01:43:54,360 Speaker 1: you know, he dude had a hell of a year, 1999 01:43:56,400 --> 01:43:59,280 Speaker 1: all right, that's cool. Beasley on locker clean out day 2000 01:43:59,360 --> 01:44:03,439 Speaker 1: addressing media, where he basically let everybody know that the 2001 01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:07,519 Speaker 1: injury he was dealing with after Week sixteen when he 2002 01:44:07,600 --> 01:44:10,439 Speaker 1: sustained it against New England on Monday night was a 2003 01:44:10,600 --> 01:44:14,759 Speaker 1: partially broken fibula. It is not the weight bearing bone 2004 01:44:14,760 --> 01:44:17,360 Speaker 1: in the lower leg. That's the tibia. So there are 2005 01:44:17,439 --> 01:44:20,439 Speaker 1: players that have done that before, but that still takes 2006 01:44:20,479 --> 01:44:23,000 Speaker 1: some doing one that doesn't hurt when it's busted though. 2007 01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:25,799 Speaker 1: That's right, You're right, about that. I do remember Travis 2008 01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:28,719 Speaker 1: Henry back in the two thousand and three season, played 2009 01:44:28,760 --> 01:44:31,920 Speaker 1: with a fully broken fibula and went for thirty five 2010 01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:33,720 Speaker 1: carries for one hundred and forty yards and helped them 2011 01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:36,839 Speaker 1: win a game against Cincinnati. So I've seen it before, 2012 01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:39,920 Speaker 1: it has been done. But that doesn't mean it doesn't 2013 01:44:39,920 --> 01:44:42,280 Speaker 1: take a whole lot of toughness in gumption to get 2014 01:44:42,360 --> 01:44:45,040 Speaker 1: through a football game with a broken bone in your leg. 2015 01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:49,840 Speaker 1: So and he struggled, as he said, that first game back, 2016 01:44:49,920 --> 01:44:54,080 Speaker 1: which was the game against Indie, when you know he 2017 01:44:54,320 --> 01:45:00,920 Speaker 1: was visibly hobbling and struggling with it, but he, as 2018 01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:05,200 Speaker 1: he said, took some medicine played through it. So kudos 2019 01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:06,720 Speaker 1: to him for laying it on the line. And you 2020 01:45:07,320 --> 01:45:09,160 Speaker 1: want to talk about getting a whole lot of respect 2021 01:45:09,200 --> 01:45:11,400 Speaker 1: in your locker room, he got that. And he was 2022 01:45:11,439 --> 01:45:14,040 Speaker 1: the leading receiver on the team yesterday with I believe 2023 01:45:14,080 --> 01:45:18,200 Speaker 1: seven catches for eighty eight yards. So the slot guy 2024 01:45:18,280 --> 01:45:20,479 Speaker 1: brought it yesterday just as he did all season long. 2025 01:45:20,720 --> 01:45:24,000 Speaker 1: So good on him for that. Yeah, that's uh. And 2026 01:45:24,120 --> 01:45:25,880 Speaker 1: I said it the other deck. I didn't know anything 2027 01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:28,680 Speaker 1: about Cole Beasley's busted fibula, but I said you know, 2028 01:45:28,720 --> 01:45:32,479 Speaker 1: everybody's dragging around something, you know, And yep, Cole Beasley's 2029 01:45:32,479 --> 01:45:34,960 Speaker 1: a perfect example that guys just they want to play 2030 01:45:35,600 --> 01:45:38,360 Speaker 1: and they're gonna play uncomfortable. I'm sure the chief guys 2031 01:45:38,439 --> 01:45:42,160 Speaker 1: are all carrying luggage around with hurt and aches and 2032 01:45:42,240 --> 01:45:45,760 Speaker 1: pains and the other you think. You know, that's part 2033 01:45:45,840 --> 01:45:49,240 Speaker 1: of why they get paid big money. Yeah, and we 2034 01:45:49,400 --> 01:45:52,200 Speaker 1: did not play Cole Beasley in his entirety, but we 2035 01:45:52,320 --> 01:45:54,400 Speaker 1: gave you about probably five minutes of the best stuff. 2036 01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:56,759 Speaker 1: One of the other things he said was the Chiefs 2037 01:45:56,800 --> 01:46:01,439 Speaker 1: aren't going anywhere, but neither a week. But there will 2038 01:46:01,479 --> 01:46:04,280 Speaker 1: be changes, and I think every player recognizes that at 2039 01:46:04,320 --> 01:46:07,000 Speaker 1: the end of the season, the team that you went 2040 01:46:07,120 --> 01:46:10,200 Speaker 1: to battle with every week this season is not going 2041 01:46:10,280 --> 01:46:12,439 Speaker 1: to be the same, just like last year's team that 2042 01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:14,400 Speaker 1: went to Houston and lost in the wild card game 2043 01:46:15,040 --> 01:46:17,519 Speaker 1: was in star contrast to the team we saw this season. 2044 01:46:18,040 --> 01:46:20,559 Speaker 1: And there will be more changes coming up. You got 2045 01:46:20,640 --> 01:46:24,040 Speaker 1: fifteen unrestricted free agents. They're not all coming back, so 2046 01:46:24,760 --> 01:46:29,240 Speaker 1: this team will again shuffle the deck hopefully be even better. 2047 01:46:30,880 --> 01:46:33,599 Speaker 1: You know, you've got a very aus stute front office 2048 01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:37,360 Speaker 1: that knows how to put a roster together. Make it 2049 01:46:37,479 --> 01:46:39,679 Speaker 1: better than the year before, and I think we would 2050 01:46:39,680 --> 01:46:42,920 Speaker 1: anticipate that again, even though the challenge is greater now 2051 01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:46,120 Speaker 1: because what getting into the final four gotcha was a 2052 01:46:46,160 --> 01:46:51,360 Speaker 1: pick thirtieth in the draft, right, So so the Bills 2053 01:46:51,400 --> 01:46:54,120 Speaker 1: pick thirty in the NFL Draft this year, it'll be 2054 01:46:54,240 --> 01:46:57,639 Speaker 1: an interesting new dynamic, I would think for Brandon Bean 2055 01:46:57,720 --> 01:47:01,599 Speaker 1: in the front office, you know, because yeah, I mean 2056 01:47:01,680 --> 01:47:04,000 Speaker 1: they had picks. They trade it up from a pick 2057 01:47:04,040 --> 01:47:05,800 Speaker 1: in the early twenty I think they were twenty two, 2058 01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:07,920 Speaker 1: went up to twelve, went up to seven, got Josh 2059 01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:10,760 Speaker 1: Allen traded back in there. So really where you are 2060 01:47:10,880 --> 01:47:13,599 Speaker 1: right now is subject to change, as we've seen Brandon 2061 01:47:13,640 --> 01:47:16,479 Speaker 1: being go up the board, down the board. I just 2062 01:47:16,560 --> 01:47:18,600 Speaker 1: think it's interesting, it's a new I think it's a 2063 01:47:18,640 --> 01:47:23,080 Speaker 1: new challenge for guys who, you know, that's their main 2064 01:47:23,200 --> 01:47:26,200 Speaker 1: reason they're here to acquire talent. Now they're going to 2065 01:47:26,240 --> 01:47:28,280 Speaker 1: be doing it from a much different location in the 2066 01:47:28,360 --> 01:47:30,560 Speaker 1: draft than maybe the first couple of years. So I 2067 01:47:30,600 --> 01:47:33,040 Speaker 1: think that's an interesting new challenge for those guys. Yeah, 2068 01:47:33,080 --> 01:47:35,840 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a different kind of you know day 2069 01:47:35,920 --> 01:47:38,400 Speaker 1: for Bills fans waiting on that draft. You know, he'll 2070 01:47:38,439 --> 01:47:42,680 Speaker 1: be late unless they make a move. But it's I 2071 01:47:42,840 --> 01:47:44,760 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be Like I said, I think it's 2072 01:47:44,800 --> 01:47:47,400 Speaker 1: gonna be far more interesting free agent market than there's 2073 01:47:47,520 --> 01:47:50,439 Speaker 1: we've ever seen. Well, yeah, because he'll be flushed. Impact, 2074 01:47:50,600 --> 01:47:54,519 Speaker 1: the impact of COVID on rosters and the salary cap 2075 01:47:54,600 --> 01:47:58,840 Speaker 1: being slashed by thirty million dollars is going to be 2076 01:47:58,920 --> 01:48:00,960 Speaker 1: a crusher for some teams. You've got some teams that 2077 01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:04,040 Speaker 1: were over the thirty million dollars up, you know, the 2078 01:48:04,320 --> 01:48:07,640 Speaker 1: original the original project. Well, they were way over that, 2079 01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:10,760 Speaker 1: and now it's gonna be seventy seventy million. They were 2080 01:48:10,800 --> 01:48:14,400 Speaker 1: seventy million over the original project. That's like one hundred 2081 01:48:14,400 --> 01:48:18,599 Speaker 1: million bucks over the one hundred million bucks. So that's 2082 01:48:18,640 --> 01:48:21,280 Speaker 1: why they're probably saying, yeah, drew it. If you have 2083 01:48:21,320 --> 01:48:24,960 Speaker 1: to retire, it's okay, Like right, that's and that's that 2084 01:48:25,120 --> 01:48:28,720 Speaker 1: gives them twenty five million back, So now they're only 2085 01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:31,680 Speaker 1: seventy five. But that's the decision that hasn't been finalized. Right, 2086 01:48:31,720 --> 01:48:35,040 Speaker 1: He hasn't said anything, Breeze, not yet. Anyway, he's done, 2087 01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:37,680 Speaker 1: I would think so, right anyway, by the same time, 2088 01:48:37,720 --> 01:48:39,519 Speaker 1: but that's what we're looking at the whole league is 2089 01:48:39,560 --> 01:48:42,479 Speaker 1: going to be financially constrained, and it's gonna be the 2090 01:48:42,560 --> 01:48:46,200 Speaker 1: teams that can do it. The Bills have, um, you know, 2091 01:48:46,240 --> 01:48:49,599 Speaker 1: all these free agents. It starts with Trent Murphy, Tyler Croft, 2092 01:48:49,800 --> 01:48:54,360 Speaker 1: Josh Norman, Tyniseki and John Feliciano and Brian Winners. And 2093 01:48:54,400 --> 01:48:56,400 Speaker 1: if you take all those guys at six and a half, 2094 01:48:56,439 --> 01:49:01,960 Speaker 1: eleven and a half, seventeen and a half, twenty three 2095 01:49:02,479 --> 01:49:07,360 Speaker 1: and three quarters, it's gonna be that's thirty and thirty million, 2096 01:49:07,600 --> 01:49:11,200 Speaker 1: thirty point five million bucks from those top guys I 2097 01:49:11,320 --> 01:49:15,799 Speaker 1: just mentioned down to Brian Winters and that's six guys 2098 01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:19,439 Speaker 1: thirty and a half million dollars. It's going to go 2099 01:49:19,520 --> 01:49:22,200 Speaker 1: back into the coffers when those guys are off the 2100 01:49:22,240 --> 01:49:25,320 Speaker 1: books after this year. Yeah, so plus anything they were 2101 01:49:25,360 --> 01:49:27,400 Speaker 1: able to roll over from this year because he can 2102 01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:29,680 Speaker 1: roll over cap space, which I know some teams were 2103 01:49:29,680 --> 01:49:32,400 Speaker 1: already hard at work at in the middle of the season. 2104 01:49:32,520 --> 01:49:34,559 Speaker 1: And then the next three guys will give you, which 2105 01:49:34,640 --> 01:49:38,599 Speaker 1: is Andre Roberts, Darryl Williams, Matt Barkley. Those guys give 2106 01:49:38,640 --> 01:49:42,880 Speaker 1: you six point five million more and everybody else is 2107 01:49:42,920 --> 01:49:45,640 Speaker 1: less than two million apiece. But you go all the 2108 01:49:45,680 --> 01:49:47,400 Speaker 1: way down. And you know, some of these guys they'll 2109 01:49:47,439 --> 01:49:51,840 Speaker 1: want back, There's no question about it. Darryl Williams, I 2110 01:49:51,920 --> 01:49:55,120 Speaker 1: think he'll they'll love to have him back. Andre Roberts 2111 01:49:55,240 --> 01:49:59,280 Speaker 1: is another one. Feliciano is another one. Yeah, but you 2112 01:49:59,439 --> 01:50:02,040 Speaker 1: gotta you've got to do it now. You've got to 2113 01:50:02,280 --> 01:50:06,519 Speaker 1: wait better tender that Puny. Somebody after that kid, right, Yeah, 2114 01:50:06,720 --> 01:50:10,360 Speaker 1: And he's an undrafted player, so if you draft him 2115 01:50:10,360 --> 01:50:12,599 Speaker 1: at the mind of him tender, somebody just signs him 2116 01:50:12,600 --> 01:50:15,240 Speaker 1: to an offer sheet and you don't match it, you 2117 01:50:15,320 --> 01:50:18,360 Speaker 1: get nothing in return. Right, there's no draft pick compensation 2118 01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:20,800 Speaker 1: there because he was undrafted. I think like Bucker was 2119 01:50:20,880 --> 01:50:24,400 Speaker 1: undrafted too. So you're gonna have to tender them you 2120 01:50:24,520 --> 01:50:27,360 Speaker 1: want them back, You're probably gonna have to tender them 2121 01:50:27,360 --> 01:50:29,960 Speaker 1: at a pretty high level, second round level. Potentilano played 2122 01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:31,760 Speaker 1: this season for six hundred and fifty grand, a little 2123 01:50:31,760 --> 01:50:33,960 Speaker 1: bit over six hundred fifty grand. That's going to change 2124 01:50:34,200 --> 01:50:36,560 Speaker 1: in a hurry that it's gonna be ten times that 2125 01:50:36,640 --> 01:50:39,040 Speaker 1: he's gonna be looking for a ten million dollars a year. Yeah, 2126 01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:41,800 Speaker 1: And I don't know if I think the only thing 2127 01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:45,799 Speaker 1: that keeps that from happening in his injury history. Injury 2128 01:50:45,880 --> 01:50:49,479 Speaker 1: history and potentially too many other teams that can't afford 2129 01:50:49,520 --> 01:50:51,240 Speaker 1: the price tag. Right, he's going to be in the 2130 01:50:51,280 --> 01:50:54,439 Speaker 1: boat where there's no money to be paid guys like him. Um, 2131 01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:57,240 Speaker 1: I think what the what I would anticipate the Bills 2132 01:50:57,280 --> 01:50:59,559 Speaker 1: doing is that we've seen them do with a number 2133 01:50:59,600 --> 01:51:03,479 Speaker 1: of these guys that we're talking about, is give him, 2134 01:51:03,680 --> 01:51:05,640 Speaker 1: pay him pretty well, but give him a one year 2135 01:51:05,720 --> 01:51:09,920 Speaker 1: deal until you can right get until the league gets 2136 01:51:09,920 --> 01:51:13,040 Speaker 1: its financial chops back in order. That's all well and good. 2137 01:51:13,960 --> 01:51:15,360 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if that's going to get 2138 01:51:15,400 --> 01:51:18,559 Speaker 1: it done, especially for a guy that's played his rear 2139 01:51:18,720 --> 01:51:21,960 Speaker 1: end off his entire rookie deal and now is looking 2140 01:51:22,040 --> 01:51:24,519 Speaker 1: to cash in on a big second contract. A lot 2141 01:51:24,560 --> 01:51:26,600 Speaker 1: of players do as he is in his prime. But 2142 01:51:26,720 --> 01:51:29,600 Speaker 1: here's the thing. The market's not going to be what 2143 01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:32,439 Speaker 1: has been. I get completely different, and that's what's going 2144 01:51:32,520 --> 01:51:34,400 Speaker 1: to be interesting. I'm his agent. I want to tell 2145 01:51:34,439 --> 01:51:38,920 Speaker 1: you backloaded, What is the most is what is the 2146 01:51:39,280 --> 01:51:41,880 Speaker 1: market going to look like? That's what I want to know. 2147 01:51:41,960 --> 01:51:43,320 Speaker 1: What's it gonna look like? It gonna look like a 2148 01:51:43,360 --> 01:51:45,840 Speaker 1: lot of backloaded contracts. One he's in year two, in 2149 01:51:45,960 --> 01:51:50,920 Speaker 1: year three, or it'll be an okay contract, but a 2150 01:51:51,000 --> 01:51:54,840 Speaker 1: bigger percentage is guaranteed over the life of the deal. Right, 2151 01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:56,519 Speaker 1: so you can sign you will sign you to a 2152 01:51:57,040 --> 01:52:00,799 Speaker 1: For instance, we'll sign you to a five year, seventy 2153 01:52:00,880 --> 01:52:07,120 Speaker 1: five million dollar contract. Good. Fine, We'll sign you to 2154 01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:10,120 Speaker 1: a fifty million dollar contract for five years and guarantee 2155 01:52:10,200 --> 01:52:13,040 Speaker 1: thirty five million of it. See what I'm saying. Yeah, 2156 01:52:13,479 --> 01:52:16,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're doing that at the linebacker position, 2157 01:52:16,160 --> 01:52:17,639 Speaker 1: but maybe you know what I mean. Yeah, but that's 2158 01:52:17,680 --> 01:52:20,519 Speaker 1: how you can work it. Look look at the Mahomes contract. 2159 01:52:20,600 --> 01:52:24,000 Speaker 1: He doesn't get very much money until twenty twenty five. 2160 01:52:24,920 --> 01:52:27,600 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna have to You're gonna have to 2161 01:52:27,640 --> 01:52:30,040 Speaker 1: get even more creative than you've been in recent years. 2162 01:52:30,360 --> 01:52:32,080 Speaker 1: It's been out there, you can do it, and it's 2163 01:52:32,160 --> 01:52:34,200 Speaker 1: and it all comes down. We're not saying it can't happen. 2164 01:52:34,240 --> 01:52:36,000 Speaker 1: I'm just saying you'll have to be more creative. I'm 2165 01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:37,640 Speaker 1: just saying. I'm just saying, too, this is gonna be 2166 01:52:37,760 --> 01:52:41,080 Speaker 1: a wild off season. And yeah, I would agree, and 2167 01:52:41,360 --> 01:52:43,120 Speaker 1: which is good for us, good for the show man. 2168 01:52:43,560 --> 01:52:46,599 Speaker 1: Lots to talk about it.

They're paying Taysom Hill fifteen million dollars 2191 01:54:05,120 --> 01:54:08,720 Speaker 1: a year. Yeah, that's not happening unless they think he 2192 01:54:08,800 --> 01:54:11,479 Speaker 1: can be their starter. Who would you take Winston or 2193 01:54:11,520 --> 01:54:15,200 Speaker 1: Taysom Hill there? I mean you could pick somebody else too, obviously, 2194 01:54:15,360 --> 01:54:19,519 Speaker 1: but like those two, Winston's cheap.

I just wanted to ask you about 2231 01:56:33,760 --> 01:56:36,919 Speaker 1: the run game this season, and then you know yesterday 2232 01:56:38,240 --> 01:56:41,360 Speaker 1: yesterday as well, but just really overall, it seemed like 2233 01:56:41,560 --> 01:56:44,240 Speaker 1: maybe inconsistent was the best word to describe it. What 2234 01:56:44,360 --> 01:56:48,080 Speaker 1: do you think maybe the issue was there and maybe 2235 01:56:48,080 --> 01:56:49,840 Speaker 1: if it wasn't just one, but how do you think 2236 01:56:49,880 --> 01:56:54,600 Speaker 1: you can more consistently get the run game going next season? Well, 2237 01:56:54,760 --> 01:56:58,160 Speaker 1: we's gotta just just dial in a little more, you know, 2238 01:56:58,600 --> 01:57:04,960 Speaker 1: um happens yo, Like like we're a passing team, so 2239 01:57:06,880 --> 01:57:09,920 Speaker 1: it really it is and what it is like, uh 2240 01:57:10,680 --> 01:57:13,240 Speaker 1: like some like some games it's going to be better 2241 01:57:13,480 --> 01:57:17,480 Speaker 1: than others. And uh, hey, like we just got just 2242 01:57:17,880 --> 01:57:19,880 Speaker 1: and just got to just dial in and just uh 2243 01:57:20,400 --> 01:57:24,280 Speaker 1: whatever it's called, just execute at a high level. And 2244 01:57:24,320 --> 01:57:25,760 Speaker 1: then I wanted to ask you about two guys in 2245 01:57:25,840 --> 01:57:29,920 Speaker 1: particular on that line, John Feliciano and Darrel both are 2246 01:57:30,560 --> 01:57:33,520 Speaker 1: heading into free agency. Both are you know, important pieces 2247 01:57:33,600 --> 01:57:36,480 Speaker 1: for you guys, What did each of them individually bring 2248 01:57:36,560 --> 01:57:39,200 Speaker 1: to the line And how much do you hope that 2249 01:57:39,640 --> 01:57:42,760 Speaker 1: you can keep things together as much as possible upfront 2250 01:57:42,840 --> 01:57:47,680 Speaker 1: knowing that there is some uncertainty there. Well, um, I 2251 01:57:47,800 --> 01:57:51,400 Speaker 1: think I'm playing this season we had one of the 2252 01:57:51,480 --> 01:57:54,520 Speaker 1: best seasons that we've had in a long time or 2253 01:57:54,640 --> 01:57:57,760 Speaker 1: that Buffalo has seen, like in a long time. So 2254 01:57:59,280 --> 01:58:01,240 Speaker 1: I think for and the guys that are up that 2255 01:58:01,320 --> 01:58:06,120 Speaker 1: are upstairs, they know what those pieces are, and they 2256 01:58:06,200 --> 01:58:08,680 Speaker 1: know like what they bring, and they know what type 2257 01:58:08,680 --> 01:58:11,480 Speaker 1: of character guys uh and they are. But overall, like 2258 01:58:12,440 --> 01:58:17,040 Speaker 1: like they bring a dog mentality, a swagger and uh 2259 01:58:17,240 --> 01:58:20,080 Speaker 1: and a confidence level that that they're gonna get their 2260 01:58:20,160 --> 01:58:25,760 Speaker 1: job done.

Um. I think the easy answer for it 2279 01:59:34,840 --> 01:59:37,520 Speaker 1: is I don't try to balance and balance it. I 2280 01:59:37,600 --> 01:59:40,960 Speaker 1: just drop it. You know, A loss as a loss, 2281 01:59:41,040 --> 01:59:46,760 Speaker 1: and we lost to a great team.

You know, Um, I don't I 2333 02:03:15,920 --> 02:03:19,400 Speaker 1: don't really know if you're if you're like looking and 2334 02:03:19,520 --> 02:03:24,080 Speaker 1: seeking for a deeper answer. Um, I just know that 2335 02:03:25,000 --> 02:03:32,000 Speaker 1: my focus yesterday was on the offensive line, and it 2336 02:03:32,160 --> 02:03:36,120 Speaker 1: was just us like every like everybody fought their their 2337 02:03:36,160 --> 02:03:40,440 Speaker 1: own individual battles, but as an old line, it was 2338 02:03:40,480 --> 02:03:45,280 Speaker 1: just us five battling quarterback receivers. They have their their 2339 02:03:45,600 --> 02:03:49,480 Speaker 1: their own game and defense. But hey, I'm I'm not 2340 02:03:49,560 --> 02:03:55,120 Speaker 1: sure move you know, Um, I do know that, Uh, 2341 02:03:55,440 --> 02:03:59,480 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills played hard. They played to the end. 2342 02:04:00,040 --> 02:04:03,640 Speaker 1: We didn't uh lay down and uh and we never will, 2343 02:04:04,440 --> 02:04:06,960 Speaker 1: you know. Uh. And we're gonna fight, and we're gonna claw, 2344 02:04:07,120 --> 02:04:10,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna kick, and uh we're never gonna give up, 2345 02:04:10,280 --> 02:04:14,240 Speaker 1: Like that's not how and we're built here and things 2346 02:04:14,400 --> 02:04:17,600 Speaker 1: can go wrong, you know, things definitely and go wrong 2347 02:04:17,720 --> 02:04:20,720 Speaker 1: in a football game. It's it's a championship game. Uh, 2348 02:04:21,000 --> 02:04:23,920 Speaker 1: and we're getting the best out of everyone and uh, 2349 02:04:24,280 --> 02:04:28,600 Speaker 1: hey it's never perfect. But uh, if you can find 2350 02:04:28,840 --> 02:04:31,800 Speaker 1: a perfect world, then send me that that that uh 2351 02:04:32,200 --> 02:04:35,560 Speaker 1: invite because I've never seen it, so you know it 2352 02:04:35,760 --> 02:04:39,040 Speaker 1: is and what it is? All right. That's Dean Dawkins 2353 02:04:39,360 --> 02:04:42,920 Speaker 1: talking to the media on locker clean out day, So 2354 02:04:43,600 --> 02:04:46,680 Speaker 1: hopefully you got a sense as to what these guys 2355 02:04:46,720 --> 02:04:48,960 Speaker 1: are feeling walking out the door and heading to parts 2356 02:04:49,040 --> 02:04:53,080 Speaker 1: unknown for the off season. Much deserved offseason after what 2357 02:04:53,320 --> 02:04:55,920 Speaker 1: was a very trying season in terms of dealing with 2358 02:04:56,040 --> 02:04:58,560 Speaker 1: a pandemic and trying to get your work done each 2359 02:04:58,600 --> 02:05:02,040 Speaker 1: and every day in a team setting. Certainly not easy, 2360 02:05:02,160 --> 02:05:04,840 Speaker 1: but they navigated it along with thirty one other teams 2361 02:05:04,880 --> 02:05:07,880 Speaker 1: with varying degrees of success, and the Bills last year, 2362 02:05:07,920 --> 02:05:10,600 Speaker 1: after they lost to the Texans in the wild Cards, 2363 02:05:10,600 --> 02:05:13,160 Speaker 1: said we will be back. They were with a vengeance. 2364 02:05:13,200 --> 02:05:15,680 Speaker 1: They won fifteen games and made it to the AFC 2365 02:05:15,840 --> 02:05:18,240 Speaker 1: Title Game in the final four. So when they say 2366 02:05:18,280 --> 02:05:21,720 Speaker 1: they'll be back again this offseason, there's no reason not 2367 02:05:21,840 --> 02:05:25,160 Speaker 1: to believe them. And obviously a lot to do on 2368 02:05:25,240 --> 02:05:27,480 Speaker 1: the to do list there in the offseason, but nonetheless 2369 02:05:28,200 --> 02:05:31,240 Speaker 1: certainly a lot of cornerstone type pieces on this roster 2370 02:05:31,360 --> 02:05:34,280 Speaker 1: that they can build around and be successful going forward. 2371 02:05:34,320 --> 02:05:36,320 Speaker 1: We did want to go to the tweet sheet, which 2372 02:05:36,400 --> 02:05:38,520 Speaker 1: is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official 2373 02:05:38,560 --> 02:05:41,800 Speaker 1: equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and for reactions 2374 02:05:41,840 --> 02:05:44,240 Speaker 1: to Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, and Tiffany leads us 2375 02:05:44,280 --> 02:05:47,640 Speaker 1: off and says, I'm thankful for our team and our players. 2376 02:05:48,080 --> 02:05:50,440 Speaker 1: It didn't hit me until I watched Josh hug his 2377 02:05:50,520 --> 02:05:52,960 Speaker 1: teammates at the end of the game that some guys 2378 02:05:53,200 --> 02:05:55,920 Speaker 1: won't be back. This group will go down as one 2379 02:05:55,960 --> 02:05:57,880 Speaker 1: of the best in Bill's history. Was a joy watching 2380 02:05:57,960 --> 02:06:02,840 Speaker 1: this team battle all season Bills. Um, yeah, I think 2381 02:06:02,880 --> 02:06:08,840 Speaker 1: people forget Steve. Conveniently, this team won fifteen games. Um, 2382 02:06:09,080 --> 02:06:12,880 Speaker 1: not easy to do. Won fifteen games this year. And 2383 02:06:12,960 --> 02:06:15,680 Speaker 1: when thirteen and three in the regular season, which tied 2384 02:06:15,760 --> 02:06:17,840 Speaker 1: for the do you guys ever go fourteen and two? 2385 02:06:18,240 --> 02:06:20,360 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think thirteen and three it 2386 02:06:20,520 --> 02:06:24,280 Speaker 1: was your best you did once. I don't know, We'll check. 2387 02:06:24,680 --> 02:06:28,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, thirteen and three is a monster year. 2388 02:06:29,000 --> 02:06:31,400 Speaker 1: That is a monster Losing the games that they did 2389 02:06:31,520 --> 02:06:33,320 Speaker 1: the way they did it was made it even more 2390 02:06:33,360 --> 02:06:36,000 Speaker 1: of a monster year. Yeah. Two of your four losses 2391 02:06:36,040 --> 02:06:40,080 Speaker 1: were to the defending Super Bowl champs, right, So yeah, 2392 02:06:40,120 --> 02:06:43,880 Speaker 1: that and it's She's right, Tiffany's right. The sad part 2393 02:06:43,880 --> 02:06:45,440 Speaker 1: about it is all these guys, this is it. That 2394 02:06:45,640 --> 02:06:47,360 Speaker 1: was their swing at the This was their swing at 2395 02:06:47,360 --> 02:06:49,560 Speaker 1: the at the you know, at the guy like Tren 2396 02:06:49,680 --> 02:06:51,880 Speaker 1: Murphy grabbing at the brass ring this is the only 2397 02:06:51,920 --> 02:06:53,480 Speaker 1: time they were here, this is the only year they 2398 02:06:53,480 --> 02:06:56,600 Speaker 1: were here for or this is their last year here, 2399 02:06:56,680 --> 02:06:59,200 Speaker 1: and it was their shot at it. And uh, it's 2400 02:06:59,200 --> 02:07:02,560 Speaker 1: too bad. And for as good and well knit, a 2401 02:07:02,640 --> 02:07:05,080 Speaker 1: close knit and well put together as this club is, 2402 02:07:05,880 --> 02:07:07,760 Speaker 1: they you got to tear it down, start from the 2403 02:07:07,800 --> 02:07:10,040 Speaker 1: ground up. Like we've been talking about the last few minutes. 2404 02:07:10,120 --> 02:07:14,720 Speaker 1: It's a long offseason and it begins today for the Bills, unfortunately, 2405 02:07:14,800 --> 02:07:17,560 Speaker 1: and after you know, going through that game last night 2406 02:07:17,640 --> 02:07:21,600 Speaker 1: and putting together the season they did, you earn the 2407 02:07:21,720 --> 02:07:23,760 Speaker 1: right to be in a tournament where if you don't 2408 02:07:23,800 --> 02:07:26,560 Speaker 1: play well, you go home, and unfortunately they didn't play 2409 02:07:26,560 --> 02:07:28,680 Speaker 1: well enough against the world champs from Brooke. I have 2410 02:07:28,800 --> 02:07:31,160 Speaker 1: so many emotions from yesterday. In a way, I'm angry 2411 02:07:31,240 --> 02:07:34,120 Speaker 1: Brian belief because yesterday wasn't the team we've seen all year. 2412 02:07:34,200 --> 02:07:35,640 Speaker 1: But on the other hand, I'm so proud of this 2413 02:07:35,720 --> 02:07:37,840 Speaker 1: team and the improvement they've made. We will be back 2414 02:07:37,880 --> 02:07:40,920 Speaker 1: stronger than ever. Let's go Buffalo. I think that was 2415 02:07:41,120 --> 02:07:45,320 Speaker 1: the one frustrating part. I think fans of this team 2416 02:07:45,440 --> 02:07:49,680 Speaker 1: that have seen every game knows they are better than 2417 02:07:49,720 --> 02:07:53,320 Speaker 1: they showed yesterday. I think that's maybe the most frustrating 2418 02:07:53,920 --> 02:07:56,800 Speaker 1: thing that fans were taking away from yesterday's game, that 2419 02:07:57,160 --> 02:08:01,240 Speaker 1: they didn't play their best on the big stage. And 2420 02:08:01,400 --> 02:08:04,040 Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of fans that feel 2421 02:08:04,040 --> 02:08:07,040 Speaker 1: if they did, the game might have been a lot 2422 02:08:07,120 --> 02:08:10,200 Speaker 1: closer than we saw. Yeah. Yeah, it never felt in 2423 02:08:10,320 --> 02:08:12,040 Speaker 1: the second half and never felt like the Bills could 2424 02:08:12,080 --> 02:08:13,880 Speaker 1: get it go when or get close enough to you 2425 02:08:13,920 --> 02:08:16,680 Speaker 1: can get a rhythm. Couldn't do that, and you some 2426 02:08:16,880 --> 02:08:19,520 Speaker 1: of that, well, maybe all of it is fact. He 2427 02:08:19,560 --> 02:08:21,480 Speaker 1: got to tip your hat to the Chiefs, their defense 2428 02:08:21,560 --> 02:08:23,760 Speaker 1: and their offense. This is they're a good football team, 2429 02:08:23,760 --> 02:08:25,440 Speaker 1: and they're a good football team on both sides of 2430 02:08:25,480 --> 02:08:27,080 Speaker 1: the ball. Two years ago when they got put out 2431 02:08:27,120 --> 02:08:29,840 Speaker 1: of the championship game, their defense was not nearly as 2432 02:08:30,280 --> 02:08:34,160 Speaker 1: as potent as it is this year. I think it's 2433 02:08:34,200 --> 02:08:36,320 Speaker 1: a it's a very it's a big step ahead, and 2434 02:08:36,440 --> 02:08:39,280 Speaker 1: I think Steve Spagnola deserves a lot of credit. He's 2435 02:08:39,320 --> 02:08:41,080 Speaker 1: the guy that put the put together the game plan 2436 02:08:41,200 --> 02:08:42,680 Speaker 1: for the Giants in the years that they went to 2437 02:08:42,720 --> 02:08:45,200 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and won it with Brady and with 2438 02:08:45,320 --> 02:08:47,800 Speaker 1: Eli Manning. So he'll get another shot at Brady in 2439 02:08:47,880 --> 02:08:51,080 Speaker 1: a championship game. He's a good coordinator and he has 2440 02:08:51,160 --> 02:08:54,840 Speaker 1: really helped Andy Reid in this team shore up what 2441 02:08:55,160 --> 02:08:57,240 Speaker 1: was perceived as a weakness a couple of years ago 2442 02:08:57,920 --> 02:09:01,400 Speaker 1: from Dean. I was disappointed to see Kenny Stills not 2443 02:09:01,640 --> 02:09:04,080 Speaker 1: get a chance. I love Gabe Davis, but I think 2444 02:09:04,120 --> 02:09:05,920 Speaker 1: he was hindered by the injury and probably should have 2445 02:09:05,960 --> 02:09:07,960 Speaker 1: sat out this game. Stills would have given us speed 2446 02:09:08,000 --> 02:09:11,440 Speaker 1: and fresh legs. Oh well, would have could have go bills. Yeah, 2447 02:09:11,480 --> 02:09:14,280 Speaker 1: I mean that that is an interesting It's a small thing, 2448 02:09:14,440 --> 02:09:18,560 Speaker 1: but it's an interesting component to this game. Nonetheless, I 2449 02:09:18,600 --> 02:09:21,000 Speaker 1: mean Kenny Stills gets called up from the practice squad. 2450 02:09:21,040 --> 02:09:23,040 Speaker 1: We assume that would be insurance in the event that 2451 02:09:23,120 --> 02:09:26,120 Speaker 1: Gabe Davis could not go. Thought Coach McDermott had an 2452 02:09:26,160 --> 02:09:29,120 Speaker 1: interesting comment on that. One asked about it after the game, 2453 02:09:29,200 --> 02:09:34,320 Speaker 1: he said, we trusted the advice of our medical staff. 2454 02:09:34,400 --> 02:09:36,600 Speaker 1: After Gabe was able to practice on a limited basis 2455 02:09:36,640 --> 02:09:40,720 Speaker 1: on Friday, he was listed as questionable and coach McDermott said, 2456 02:09:40,760 --> 02:09:43,640 Speaker 1: if it was close, we were going to reward the 2457 02:09:43,680 --> 02:09:47,320 Speaker 1: guys that had played all season long. And that's and 2458 02:09:47,480 --> 02:09:49,800 Speaker 1: I get that, I totally get that, you know, reward 2459 02:09:49,840 --> 02:09:52,400 Speaker 1: the guys that brought you there. But man, you watch 2460 02:09:52,480 --> 02:09:54,760 Speaker 1: the way he was running around out there, and it's 2461 02:09:54,840 --> 02:09:58,400 Speaker 1: hard not to at least wonder if Kenny Stills could 2462 02:09:58,400 --> 02:10:00,400 Speaker 1: have given you a little bit more, especially he's seeing 2463 02:10:00,480 --> 02:10:02,640 Speaker 1: how well the coverage was by the Jesus. The reason 2464 02:10:02,720 --> 02:10:05,000 Speaker 1: you're wonders because they didn't think they game didn't go 2465 02:10:05,120 --> 02:10:10,200 Speaker 1: your way. Yeah, um yeah. If if you try something 2466 02:10:10,320 --> 02:10:12,520 Speaker 1: and you're the results are not what you hope for, 2467 02:10:12,680 --> 02:10:14,440 Speaker 1: you should have done the other should have done the 2468 02:10:14,480 --> 02:10:17,760 Speaker 1: other thing. That's marve levism. You know, it's the easiest 2469 02:10:17,800 --> 02:10:19,960 Speaker 1: thing in the world to say, and it's may be true, 2470 02:10:20,040 --> 02:10:22,000 Speaker 1: and it may not be true because you'll never get 2471 02:10:22,040 --> 02:10:23,520 Speaker 1: a chance to go back in time and try the 2472 02:10:23,560 --> 02:10:25,920 Speaker 1: other thing. So you can say whatever you want. On 2473 02:10:26,040 --> 02:10:29,000 Speaker 1: this side of the game. The Bills got outplayed, um 2474 02:10:29,760 --> 02:10:33,960 Speaker 1: and coach McDermott Sean has been criticized for not going 2475 02:10:34,040 --> 02:10:35,760 Speaker 1: forward on those two fourth downs were in the first 2476 02:10:35,800 --> 02:10:39,280 Speaker 1: half one of the second half. Okay, Um, you had 2477 02:10:39,360 --> 02:10:42,480 Speaker 1: no answer for Tyreek Hill. Yeah, no question, they didn't. 2478 02:10:42,840 --> 02:10:46,640 Speaker 1: Not many people do. Travis Kelsey killed you. It's rough. 2479 02:10:47,160 --> 02:10:49,919 Speaker 1: He's a great player, and they've got an elite quarterback 2480 02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:54,600 Speaker 1: who uh probably was limited physically with his toe, but 2481 02:10:55,680 --> 02:10:59,320 Speaker 1: wasn't pressed enough to have that make a difference. So 2482 02:10:59,680 --> 02:11:02,400 Speaker 1: and defensively, you couldn't get anything going with an offense. Really, 2483 02:11:02,440 --> 02:11:04,720 Speaker 1: the offense that drove your team to the championship game 2484 02:11:05,560 --> 02:11:09,200 Speaker 1: was stifled. And that's pretty frustrating. So you can second 2485 02:11:09,240 --> 02:11:10,640 Speaker 1: guess any and all of that if you want to, 2486 02:11:12,680 --> 02:11:15,160 Speaker 1: it's not going to change it. Break time for us. 2487 02:11:15,240 --> 02:11:17,680 Speaker 1: We'll be back in a second to close it up 2488 02:11:17,800 --> 02:11:21,440 Speaker 1: here on a therapeutic Monday edition of One Bills Live 2489 02:11:21,600 --> 02:11:25,280 Speaker 1: on the heels of Buffalo's AFC Championship Game loss to 2490 02:11:25,800 --> 02:11:28,560 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Back with that here on One Bills Live, 2491 02:11:28,640 --> 02:11:44,840 Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. It 2492 02:11:45,160 --> 02:11:48,240 Speaker 1: is that time in the show for what have we learned? 2493 02:11:48,600 --> 02:11:53,280 Speaker 1: Presented by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company of 2494 02:11:53,480 --> 02:11:56,800 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. And I think the biggest thing we 2495 02:11:56,960 --> 02:11:59,880 Speaker 1: learned came in yesterday's game. We learned that there is 2496 02:12:00,040 --> 02:12:04,040 Speaker 1: still some distance despite the fact that the Bills had 2497 02:12:04,480 --> 02:12:09,920 Speaker 1: a fantastic season that unquestionably exceeded expectations at the beginning 2498 02:12:09,920 --> 02:12:11,760 Speaker 1: of the year. Because you can't tell me there was 2499 02:12:11,760 --> 02:12:14,320 Speaker 1: anybody in Western New York that in August said the 2500 02:12:14,360 --> 02:12:16,200 Speaker 1: Bills are going to the AFC title game. I don't 2501 02:12:16,200 --> 02:12:18,680 Speaker 1: think there was anybody, not you, not me. The goal 2502 02:12:18,840 --> 02:12:21,080 Speaker 1: was to win the division, get a home playoff game 2503 02:12:21,120 --> 02:12:23,240 Speaker 1: when the division, the division get a home playoff game. 2504 02:12:23,560 --> 02:12:25,840 Speaker 1: They far exceeded that. They got two of them and 2505 02:12:25,880 --> 02:12:28,000 Speaker 1: won both of them. And even though they went further 2506 02:12:28,080 --> 02:12:31,680 Speaker 1: than anybody anticipated, the stark reality is there still is 2507 02:12:31,760 --> 02:12:34,360 Speaker 1: some distance between the Bills and the Chiefs, which is 2508 02:12:34,440 --> 02:12:36,760 Speaker 1: the top of the mountain. And as we heard trudevious 2509 02:12:36,800 --> 02:12:40,320 Speaker 1: White say this afternoon, they are the standard. They are 2510 02:12:40,360 --> 02:12:42,760 Speaker 1: the standard now that we are shooting for right and 2511 02:12:43,120 --> 02:12:45,240 Speaker 1: you know that's going to be what we're talking about. 2512 02:12:45,280 --> 02:12:46,800 Speaker 1: And I don't know if I say this when the 2513 02:12:46,840 --> 02:12:50,200 Speaker 1: breaker was I saying it on the ear that the 2514 02:12:50,440 --> 02:12:52,720 Speaker 1: entire offseason is going to be a narrative note no 2515 02:12:52,800 --> 02:12:54,920 Speaker 1: longer to win the division. The narrative is going to 2516 02:12:54,960 --> 02:12:56,600 Speaker 1: be we gotta beat the Chiefs. How do we be? 2517 02:12:56,880 --> 02:12:59,120 Speaker 1: We kind of? I think now Bills fans this offseason 2518 02:12:59,200 --> 02:13:01,760 Speaker 1: get to a point where, listen, we are in the playoffs. 2519 02:13:01,840 --> 02:13:03,920 Speaker 1: Let's go. We got to find a way to win. 2520 02:13:04,000 --> 02:13:05,880 Speaker 1: When we get there, right, and we gotta get to 2521 02:13:05,920 --> 02:13:07,640 Speaker 1: the We gotta get to the show because, as we know, 2522 02:13:07,880 --> 02:13:12,360 Speaker 1: windows in the NFL do not last long. If you 2523 02:13:12,400 --> 02:13:17,040 Speaker 1: have a franchise quarterback, they last longer. But yes, there 2524 02:13:17,080 --> 02:13:19,440 Speaker 1: are windows where you have to strike while the iron's hot. 2525 02:13:19,560 --> 02:13:21,960 Speaker 1: So so you're gonna be a pretty big offseason for 2526 02:13:22,040 --> 02:13:25,280 Speaker 1: this team. And uh, fortunately they've got a front office 2527 02:13:25,320 --> 02:13:30,120 Speaker 1: that's proven itself astute. They're largely intact. To my knowledge, 2528 02:13:30,160 --> 02:13:32,000 Speaker 1: I don't think they lost anybody for any of those 2529 02:13:32,040 --> 02:13:34,800 Speaker 1: front office jobs, and they haven't lost anybody from their 2530 02:13:34,840 --> 02:13:36,960 Speaker 1: coaching staff. They've got a chance to lose Ken Dorsey 2531 02:13:37,000 --> 02:13:40,160 Speaker 1: to an oct position, and they've got a chance still 2532 02:13:40,280 --> 02:13:43,520 Speaker 1: that the Houston job has not been filled. Right, So 2533 02:13:43,640 --> 02:13:45,880 Speaker 1: there's the front office. Wise, they're in good shape, seemed 2534 02:13:45,880 --> 02:13:49,080 Speaker 1: to be in good shape. And we'll see, yeah, we'll see. 2535 02:13:49,160 --> 02:13:52,360 Speaker 1: They gotta This is gonna be as a strange offseason. 2536 02:13:52,400 --> 02:13:53,840 Speaker 1: As we've said over and over, this is because of 2537 02:13:53,920 --> 02:13:56,280 Speaker 1: the cat because COVID is getting sliced and a lot 2538 02:13:56,320 --> 02:13:57,880 Speaker 1: of teams are going to have to release some really 2539 02:13:57,920 --> 02:13:59,520 Speaker 1: good football players, and the Bills are going to be 2540 02:13:59,600 --> 02:14:02,000 Speaker 1: on top of it. Hopefully, what they've got going here 2541 02:14:02,040 --> 02:14:05,440 Speaker 1: in Buffalo as as as illustrated by the season they 2542 02:14:05,520 --> 02:14:07,120 Speaker 1: put together, in the run they put together, and then 2543 02:14:07,200 --> 02:14:09,400 Speaker 1: and the culture they have will be attractive to some 2544 02:14:09,400 --> 02:14:11,480 Speaker 1: of these great players. We'll see you tomorrow, Kyle Brandt.
