65
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 2: straight division title that the Bills at the wire steal

66
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: from the Miami Dolphins by virtue of a twenty one

67
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 2: to fourteen victory. And I don't know if I've seen

68
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 2: more NFL memes referencing the Bills tracking down the Dolphins.

69
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: Here over the last five weeks of the season, we've

70
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 2: had the dk Metcalf catching Buddha Baker play when he

71
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: comes back after an interception and tackles him after running

72
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 2: ninety eight yards to knock him down and out of

73
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: bounds before he gets to the end zone. I've seen

74
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: horse racing footage of horses coming from deep from the

75
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: final turn making up twelve lengths and like the last

76
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: quarter mile to win a horse race with a Bill's

77
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: logo on the side of the horse. People are getting

78
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: creative on social media this morning. And oh, by the

79
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:13,520

80
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,800

86
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 6: with the amount of dirt people were thrown on the Bills, right,

87
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 6: it would it would cover the Empire State building, And uh,

88
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 6: they weren't having it. Five games later, they're eleven and six,

89
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 6: number two seed in the conference. Their quarterback is playing

90
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 6: as well as anybody that's his that's his game, and

91
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 6: people can't get their head around it. Nobody cares how

92
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 6: many turnovers you have when you're scoring more, way, more

93
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 6: touchdowns than you are turning it over and the Bills

94
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 6: are piling it on. They got out of their own

95
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 6: way the first half. You knew that that the first

96
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 6: half was kind of the game you expected. Dolphins had

97
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 6: a plan. They ran the ball for one hundred yards

98
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 6: in the first half. You think, oh, man, here we go.

99
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 6: It's gonna be rough. Eight yards in the second half

100
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,080

Speaker 6: They ran seven yards of rushing in the second.

102
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: Half, fifty yards passing by.

103
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 6: They absolutely turned off the faucet on the Dolphins. Congratulations

00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 6: to Sean McDermott, the defensive staff and the roster of

105
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 6: this club is it really has the depth we thought

106
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 6: it did in the preseason. It's proven it through the

107
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 6: injuries of the defense early in the season. Now, last night,

Speaker 2: the Tyreek Balon Spector comes in and makes a couple

115
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: of big time tackage in the run.

120
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 6: It was just one guy after another stepping up. And

121
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 6: you know everybody always talks about that analogy, Well, you

122
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 6: got to be hitting on all cylinders when you hit

123
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 6: the playoffs. Don't forget there's fifty three cylinders on the

124
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 6: roster and twenty five coaches that got to be hitting.

125
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 6: That's like seventy eight cylinders you got to hit. They

126
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 6: were hitting on all of them last night.

127
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: Well, and that is you know, people are going to

128
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 2: look back at this season and say, you know, and

129
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: maybe we'll use this as a show topic later this week,

130
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: but what one word would you use to describe this

131
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: iteration of the Buffalo Bills. And I know that resilient

132
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 2: has been thrown around a lot. I think there's an

133
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: even better one for this team this season. Resourceful. Every

134
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: time this team has had to go to the well

135
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: deep on their roster, make a coaching change, go into

136
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: their coaching staff roster. They have come out of it

137
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:29,119
Speaker 2: without drop off when you think about it now. Trying

138
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 2: to recover from the loss of three all Pro caliber

139
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: players on defense in week six, seven, and eight, that

140
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 2: was a challenge and you understand why took them a

141
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: while to recalibrate, but they did. Now. Pushed into a

142
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: similar position last night in a division title football game,

143
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 2: Gabe Davis out, Dion Dawkins out, Rasul Douglass out. Man,

144
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 2: it was a bad night if your last name started

145
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: with d and then you also had Tyrrell Dodson. Did

146
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: I say Dodson Dotson, Dawkins, Rasul Douglass all out, Davis out.

147
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: So I mean you had a cavalcade of injuries. Everybody

148
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: that came in contributed and did something. They weren't just

149
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 2: on the field. They were noticeable.

150
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, they were making plays. And that's amazing because we

151
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 6: were walking in here and I was telling everybody, you

152
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 6: and I have been doing this show and people we

153
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 6: talk to people all the time, old Bills fans say, well,

154
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 6: listen to the show. It's all great. We've been doing

155
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 6: this all year round, week after week after week in

156
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 6: March and April, in May and June, and you think

157
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 6: this right now, the Bills fans, this is why we're

158
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 6: doing this show. This week's, these couple of weeks are

159
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 6: what it all leads up to. And I can't wait

160
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 6: to see the team play, right, I can't wait to

161
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 6: see him play. I just want him. It'd be awesome

162
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 6: if this team, this Bills team, would just reveal how

163
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 6: good they really are, because I think there's still some

164
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 6: people out there who doubt.

165
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and you know, it was five weeks ago

166
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 2: where I heard a lot of them chirping at me

167
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: on my Twitter handle telling me I should apologize for

168
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 2: calling Sean McDermott a defensive guru after the Week four

169
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: went over the Dolphins. You need to apologize to us.

170
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: So very vocal minority was coming out and coming after me.

171
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: I'm not apologizing for anything. I'd like to apologize to

172
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: absolutely nobody. In the words of Connor McGregor.

173
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 6: Apologized absolutely nobody.

174
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sean McDermott out coach Mike McDaniel twice twice this season.

175
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 6: Hey second, when everybody was all.

176
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: Gaga about Mike McDaniel offensive guru, offensive genius and Look,

177
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: he's got a great system. He's a good coach, there's

178
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: no question about it. I respect Mike McDaniel's a coach.

179
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: You know what I like most about Mike McDaniel. He

180
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: gives it to you straight win, loser, draw, and he

181
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: did it last night, and he basically admitted that they

182
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 2: got out played and they got out coached in the

183
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: second half, especially, so I give them full marks for that.

184
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: But Bill's got a pretty good guy. And I'm gonna

185
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 2: say this too, fans. You know, they get upset when

186
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 2: the team underachieves, and there was a stretch there where

187
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 2: this team was underachieving. I don't think there's any question

188
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 2: about that. I'll buy that argument. If you want to

189
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: give that to me, I'm fine with that. But as

190
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: I said back then, let's see how it turns out

191
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: when the regular season's over. And here we are five

192
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: straight victories, not all of them pretty by any means.

193
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: But sometimes the biggest difference between champions and also rans

194
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: are finding a way to get the job done. And

195
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 2: that's what the Bills have done over the last five weeks.

196
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: They have found a way to get the job done.

197
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: Second part of this thing concerning McDermott, and I'll use

198
00:11:54,800 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 2: a one word description again, sustainability. This team is going

199
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: to the playoffs for the fifth time in six years.

200
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: They have won four straight division titles.

201
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 6: Five seasons of double digit wins.

202
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 2: Five seasons of double digit wins. The Chiefs are the

203
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 2: only other team to do that in the entire league.

204
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: And people are like, ah, you know, they peaked their

205
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 2: windows closing all of this stuff. I don't think people

206
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 2: fully appreciate how hard it is to sustain that level

207
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 2: of playoff caliber, football performance, roster quality in the salary

208
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: cap era for that long a period of time. And

209
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: if you want an example of how hard it is,

210
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 2: look at the Philadelphia Eagles. They were the cats me

211
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: out last year, rocketed to the NFC title, pasted to

212
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. They couldn't sustain it. They lost it

213
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 2: off defensive coordinator and a defensive coordinator couldn't do it.

214
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: Bills have lost an offensive coordinator, Bills have lost a

215
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator in the time that they have been successful,

216
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 2: and they still found a way to win a division

217
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 2: and get back to the playoffs. Don't dismiss it. There

218
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: is a reason why Sean McDermott is good at what

219
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 2: he does, and that kind of sustainability is a rarity

220
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 2: in this league. How rare as I said, Bills Chiefs

221
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: only two teams with double digit wins for the last

222
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 2: five last four seasons, I think it is twenty one,

223
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 2: twenty two, five seasons, five seasons. It is hard to

224
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: sustain that level of excellence in this league, which is

225
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: as competitive as any in professional sports.

226
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 6: And I'll say this too. You can say, well he

227
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 6: had you know, Josh Allen was a big difference maker.

228
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 6: Sure a lot of teams have The Bills aren't the

229
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 6: only one with an elite quarterback. Other I say this,

230
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 6: Josh is far and away as good as good a

231
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 6: quarterback as there is. I don't want to say he's

232
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 6: by himself, but he's up there. He's always with Mahomes,

233
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 6: with Josh, with Burrow when he's healthy, with Lamar Lamar

234
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 6: when he's healthy. And those guys have the qualifiers, not Josh.

235
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 6: Josh shows up and uh this it's it's a great Listen.

236
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 6: I'm not I really don't. I'm not interested in gloating

237
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 6: over how the Bills did it. We thought Brownie and

238
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 6: I legitimately genuinely thought this team had it under the

239
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 6: hood to win these last five games and get to

240
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 6: this point. We legitimately thought there's a good chance that

241
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 6: Baltimore would give Miami problems. I didn't know the Tennessee

242
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 6: Titans would give him problems. I'll say that, got to

243
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 6: send them a fruit basket. I'll say that. But all

244
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 6: and and I didn't know the you know there. But

245
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 6: I saw this too. I did not see other teams

246
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 6: when the Bills were sitting at eleventh place four weeks ago,

247
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 6: three weeks ago, I did not. I did see other

248
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 6: teams not having it under the hood to do what

249
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 6: the Bills were capable of doing. I knew other teams

250
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 6: would fall back, like Cincinnati. I mean they're doing it

251
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 6: with backup quarterbacks. All these teams with the Gardner Minshoes

252
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 6: of the world. You know, they just don't have it

253
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 6: under the hood like this team does. You look at

254
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 6: all these power analytics, the you know, the power rankings

255
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 6: where they go deep into the analytics. Bills are in

256
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 6: the top five all the time and sometimes top three,

257
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 6: top two, And they have been the top team. I

258
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 6: mean they're right there all the time because of the

259
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 6: way they play, the way they're coached, and last night

260
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 6: was a great example of it. That second half last

261
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 6: night was a coaching clinic, and I get it. It

262
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 6: doesn't happen like that every week, and sometimes the coaches

263
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 6: get blamed for stuff that the players do wrong. It

264
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 6: all works together. But I'm telling you right now, this

265
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 6: team is well coached. They got great players. They do

266
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 6: have it under It doesn't mean they're gonna out coach

267
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 6: every team every week, because the other guys get paid too,

268
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 6: and they're they're qualified. But man o, man, it's been

269
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 6: a month of Sundays since this team has gotten run

270
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 6: off and left by anybody. If you beat this team,

271
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 6: you're clawing and scratching and kicking your way to the

272
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 6: finish line, trying to get there with your fingertip ahead

273
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 6: of them, because that this team is hard to beat.

274
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 6: The to it is hard to beat. If they don't

275
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 6: help you, you ain't doing it. Like last night's perfect example,

276
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 6: I mean, that's Josh. That is quintessential Josh. Allen Bruce

277
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 6: leave two picks in the first half, he comes back.

278
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 6: We were talking about it, and that third and thirteen

279
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 6: on that final touchdown drive. I don't know if that

280
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 6: was the sact that it might have been the one

281
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 6: before that third and thirteen and Josh just rushes for fifteen.

282
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 6: He breaks out of the pocket and there's a still

283
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 6: shot on social media. Josh has got who is it?

284
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 6: It's number nine? Who's the guy?

285
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 8: Though?

286
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 6: Melvin Ingram is hanging on his back and he's got

287
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 6: two guys bracketed right ahead of him. He gets the first.

288
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 2: Down, he's five yards short with Melvin.

289
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 6: It's Wilkins right in ninety four and he just gets it.

290
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 6: And if first of all, they're in another in more

291
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 6: than one or two other guys in the league at

292
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 6: that position, they're gonna be able to do that play

293
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 6: if anybody else does it. People are absolutely blown up

294
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 6: today about that effort right there.

295
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 2: And then you see cater on there.

296
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 6: He wanted he wanted no part of that. And let

297
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 6: me tell you, if if think about think about how

298
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 6: absolutely no way Tua makes that play, think about Ta

299
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 6: making a play like that that you can't even imagine it.

300
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 6: I can't even picture Tua attempting that play. And Josh

301
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 6: makes it, and it's like it's not even a blip

302
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 6: on anybody's radar. Are that's the guy?

303
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: I think? Sean McDermott described it best after the game

304
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: when he when he was talking about Josh, he said

305
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 2: he would not be denied and that when Josh gets

306
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 2: into that mode, good luck because when he and the

307
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 2: players said as much too. Trent Sherfield was waxing poetic

308
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: about it last night, saying, when he has that look

309
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 2: in his eye and we're going he goes, the hair

310
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 2: on the back of my neck stands up. I mean,

311
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 2: it's hard not to get pumped when your leader has

312
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 2: that look in his eye, like this is happening. Come

313
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: follow me?

314
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 6: They they.

315
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 2: You can.

316
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 6: And I know Bill's fans who watch every every moment

317
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 6: of every broadcast. They catch all the sideline shots of Josh,

318
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 6: and there's always a conversation about what he looks like

319
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 6: on that whether he's down, whether he's we've all seen it,

320
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 6: whether he's you know, whether he's whether he's a a

321
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 6: beat up dude sitting on the sidelines his hairs on

322
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 6: and he's got his eyes down, or he's got this

323
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 6: look in his eye like, oh dude. You know, we

324
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 6: all think and we all project our own feelings onto

325
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 6: Josh whatever it is, and I don't know, Yeah, he

326
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 6: gets to the point where coaches and players on the sidelines,

327
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 6: because they interact with him every day, they do see

328
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 6: differences in guys apparent. I used to do it with

329
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 6: our team guys, teammates ares. You could see when they

330
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 6: were on, when they were gonna get it. I'm sure

331
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 6: joh Sean has those feelings about Josh and they can

332
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 6: tell when the guy's on. Last night, in the second

333
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 6: half of that game, it wasn't just Josh, it was

334
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 6: that everybody had it turned on Sherfield Hardy, the coaching staff,

335
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 6: digs Shakir Kinkaid knocks those guys on offense. I thought

336
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 6: last night the Bills just they moved the ball through

337
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 6: Miami's defense like nothing, and you would expect him to

338
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 6: with all the guys they had injured.

339
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 2: And then they had more injuries through the course of

340
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 2: the game.

341
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 6: That's right, and then you know they get in the

342
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 6: red zone. It was the Bills were their own worst

343
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,719
Speaker 6: enemy trying to get it into the end zone. And

344
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 6: you know, credit to the Dolphins. That's how they kept

345
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 6: the game close because their offense was not effective last night.

346
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 2: And to a man, everybody said from the Bill sideline

347
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 2: that the ninety six yard punt return by Deontay Hardy

348
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 2: was the spark they needed, and you could feel the

349
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 2: momentum shift from that point in time, because not only

350
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 2: do they get the ninety six yard punt return for

351
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 2: a touchdown, if memory serves, the defense comes out on

352
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 2: the field and they send Miami three and out on offense.

353
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 2: And you felt a complete momentum shift at that point

354
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: in time. You could feel, and the fans were back

355
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: into the game. Now. I know on a lot of

356
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 2: the highlights, you can see a lot of blue behind

357
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 2: the Bills sideline, and that's where most of the Bills

358
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 2: fans were located. There was a smattering of Bills fans

359
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 2: everywhere else. I would say maximum it was thirty five

360
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 2: percent Bills fans in the seats. It was not the

361
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 2: fifty two percent that you know some some ticket services.

362
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 6: Were purporting say this though.

363
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 2: But you heard them after that punt return. They got

364
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: back in the game, and you heard them on the

365
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: ensuing third down by Miami, and you heard them pretty

366
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 2: much the rest of the game. And my favorite part

367
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 2: was after the interception by rap I have never seen

368
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: a stadium empty so quickly, and with like forty eight

369
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: seconds left. I don't know if there was a Dolphins

370
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 2: fan in the building. Yeah that it was glorious.

371
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 6: And it's you You're right. You could hear it on

372
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 6: the broadcast when all of us back here in Western

373
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 6: New York, and I know there were thousands of fans

374
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 6: down there. We saw the social media posts all over

375
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 6: the place. Now you could actually hear the roar, and

376
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,479
Speaker 6: Mike Turico and Collinsworth mentioned it that there was a

377
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 6: ton of Bills fans in the stadium. You're right, it wasn't. Yeah,

378
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 6: it wasn't the majority, as you kind of realistically think

379
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 6: a ton of Bills fans. And and there's a we

380
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 6: just reposted a tweet Thurman did of the hearty touchdown

381
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 6: run the punt return from field level and you can

382
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 6: see the hot whole side of the stadium.

383
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 2: And that was the that was the side.

384
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 6: It was amazing, really nice showing by Bill's mafia up there.

385
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 6: And and as you would expect in a game like that,

386
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 6: particularly for a team like Buffalo, there's a couple of

387
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 6: them to do. There's the Cowboys, the Steel.

388
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 2: Dealers travel well. As we may see this week.

389
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 6: Buffalo travels well, and so so do the Packers. Fans,

390
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 6: Packers fans, but those those franchises are kind of apart.

391
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 6: And that's the Bills showed up big time. The Bill's

392
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 6: Mafia showed up big time in Miami last night, and

393
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 6: it was noticeable. Yeah, and as you're right that that

394
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 6: return was a big moment.

395
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 2: So the end of the broadcast, our sideline reporter SalCo

396
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: Paco usually grabs a player after a victory and we

397
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 2: you know, we get a couple of questions in and

398
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 2: get him on the air before we sign off for

399
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 2: the night. All of a sudden, Sal gets coach McDermott,

400
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 2: like he gets handed to us, and you could hear

401
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 2: the emotion in coach McDermott's voice. Usually you don't hear

402
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 2: from coach until about twenty minutes to a half hour

403
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 2: after the game's over. He's kind of collected himself, you know,

404
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 2: and he talks to the media after the game and

405
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 2: answers questions. This is like fifteen seconds after the final

406
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 2: gun and he is you can hear it in his

407
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 2: voice how emotional he is. And Sal asked him, turn around,

408
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 2: look at the stands. You know, what's it like to have,

409
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 2: you know, Bill's mafia back here? His voice cracked. Coach's

410
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: voice cracked like he is he is. I want to

411
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 2: get the right word here. He is genuinely touched. When

412
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: there is that kind of support for this team on

413
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 2: the road, it means a lot to him, It means

414
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 2: a lot to the team. I want Bill's Mafia to understand.

415
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 2: It does not go unnoticed at all. And the players

416
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: going up the tunnel to the locker room after the

417
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 2: win made sure to acknowledge all those Bills fans that

418
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 2: were in attendance, made the trip, spent their money, kept

419
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 2: the faith, you know, stuck with them. That is the

420
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 2: loyalty of Bill's Mafia that I don't think other NFL

421
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 2: fans around the league will ever understand because they don't

422
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 2: know the history well enough, and I don't expect them to.

423
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 2: You know, you're a fan of the Cowboys. How why

424
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 2: are you supposed to know what Bill's history is? But

425
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 2: it is what, in my estimation, sets Bill's fans apart

426
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 2: from others.

427
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's you reposted this as a place called optostats,

428
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 6: and it said since the NFL started seating teams for

429
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 6: the playoffs in nineteen seventy five, the twenty twenty three

430
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 6: Buffalo Bills are the only team to be at or

431
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 6: below five hundred with five or fewer games remaining and

432
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 6: still yet earn the top two seed in the conference.

433
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of them.

434
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 6: So that's why. And here's the thing, that's why. All

435
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 6: these the national guys, the local guys, some of the

436
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 6: guys local here, the media people, certainly a national analyst.

437
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,239
Speaker 6: Everybody was throwing dirt on the Bills. They were six

438
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 6: and six. There's just no way because they think the

439
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 6: nineteen seventy five teams that couldn't do it are like

440
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 6: the Bills. They think stats and analytics are predictive and

441
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 6: they're not. The Bills are the only team to get

442
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 6: a two seed in the conference at being six and six.

443
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, with five games to play, right.

444
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, unbelievable.

445
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 2: We want to know what your biggest takeaways from the

446
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 2: bills twenty one to fourteen win over the Dolphins was,

447
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 2: so you can let us know at eight h three

448
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 2: zero five to fifty one eight eight eight five fifty

449
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 2: two five fifty the number to get on board, we

450
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: should mention our number two after every Bill's victory. We

451
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 2: will have the Maddy Awards with our colleague many glam

452
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 2: she'll be joining us an hour number two, a little

453
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 2: over a half hour from now, and then in the

454
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 2: third hour the show, we will have my broadcast partner

455
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 2: Eric Wood joining us for his thoughts on the bills

456
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: resourceful victory over the Dolphins. But we go to the phones,

457
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 2: and leading us off today out on the West Coast

458
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 2: is Nathan in California. I A what do you got for?

459
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 2: Is Nathan?

460
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 9: Hey, how's it going? I? Uh yeah, I'm out here

461
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 9: in SoCal born and raised. I've been repping Bill's mafia

462
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 9: my whole life. I've been there through the good, the bad,

463
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 9: the last couple of years. The Josh Allen Senior man,

464
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 9: I'm just I'm loving it. I'm just reveling and the Bills,

465
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 9: the Bills win, watching all the Dolphins reactions and it's

466
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 9: just it's just it couldn't be better, especially where they

467
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 9: were halfway through the season. The Dolphins thought they had

468
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 9: this in the bag, and it just it just it

469
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 9: couldn't be better. But I wanted to call I want

470
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 9: to give some love on that punt return, I think

471
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 9: it was number ninety nine, and I wanted to ask

472
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 9: Steve about this because on the on the broadcast you

473
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 9: can only see it for maybe a second or two.

474
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,959
Speaker 9: But when when the runner came into the screen, you

475
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 9: had I think it was number ninety nine, was blocking

476
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 9: the punter and man, this guy had him blocked up

477
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 9: so good. He had the whole he had the whole

478
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 9: side of the field open for Hardy And you never

479
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 9: see you never see the punter blocked up like that.

480
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 9: I just never seen. You know, the punters usually wide

481
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 9: open for the tackle or whatever last resort. But man,

482
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 9: that number ninety nine, I don't even know who he is,

483
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 9: responsibility on him and I've just never seen anything like that.

484
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 9: But that guy was definitely an unsung hero last night.

485
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 9: I just want to give him some love. I think

486
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 9: it was was a huge play, obviously a turning point,

487
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 9: but man, I want to see it on the All

488
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 9: twenty two. But when he came into the screen, that

489
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 9: number ninety nine, he kept that responsibility and have the

490
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 9: block on the punter and I've never seen that, and

491
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 9: I just I thought it was awesome.

492
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was poona Ford, number ninety eight. He's a

493
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 2: defensive tackle and that man is forty yards downfield and

494
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 2: he's blocking the punter. And as I'm calling this play.

495
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 2: As soon as he got into the open field at

496
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 2: the Bills forty, the play was over. Yeah, he didn't

497
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 2: get touched.

498
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 6: He ran sixty yards alone.

499
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 2: You know, he was gearing down at the Miami forty

500
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: because the play was over. He just had to not trip.

501
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, jes just don't fall over. And yeah, you're right,

502
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 6: poon Aford did it. There was also right at the

503
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 6: big point, and a lot of people thought there was

504
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 6: a block right at the point where oh yeah, linebackers

505
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 6: looked like it might have been a block in the back.

506
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:45,959
Speaker 6: And I'm like, and yeah, you can. You could probably

507
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 6: find four penalties on that on that return on both teams.

508
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 6: But that's the way those that's the way those plays go.

509
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 6: When you give up a touchdown return, there's always always

510
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,479
Speaker 6: somebody in there going man, I got block in the back? Uh,

511
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 6: I thought it might again. I thought I was looking

512
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 6: for a flag. You just never see that. What you

513
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 6: the officials, I don't want to call those. They don't

514
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 6: want to call blocks in the back.

515
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 2: I felt like the officials didn't want to call anything.

516
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 6: Yes, I thought they were.

517
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 2: I thought they did not want to be a part

518
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 2: of that game at all.

519
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 6: The past interference on da Dawson Knox, the target marketing

520
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 6: on the goal line at Ty Johnson, and there's probably

521
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 6: some for the Buffalo Bills against the Dolphins too, that

522
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 6: they just just didn't feel like calling. I thought they

523
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 6: called the hold on Dame Jackson. I thought that was innocuous,

524
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 6: but you know, what are you gonna do? That's I

525
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 6: thought the officials stayed out of it, and that play

526
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 6: was was another you know, indication that that's where they

527
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,959
Speaker 6: were at that But I'll say this too, going back

528
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,239
Speaker 6: to our original point, that you could feel, even on

529
00:29:55,320 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 6: the broadcast, the emotions, emotional swing in favor of Buffalo.

530
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 6: It carried over in the next defensive series that I

531
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 6: went three and out. Man, you could see it, and

532
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 6: that was that was enormous. That getting that game tied

533
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 6: with the Sherfield touchdown, I mean, with the Hardy touchdown,

534
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 6: was an emotional, huge boost for the for the whole club.

535
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: And that just speaks again to the resourcefulness of this

536
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 2: football team, because just two weeks ago people were criticizing

537
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 2: Tren Sherfield and Deontay Hardy as guys that haven't done

538
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 2: anything for this football team. And here we are in

539
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 2: the most important game of the season, Gabe Davis is injured,

540
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 2: Trent Sherfield scores a touchdown on an alert second reaction

541
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 2: type play, and Deontay Hardy delivers the turning point play

542
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 2: of the game with a ninety six yard punt return

543
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 2: for a touchdown. We got to take a break here,

544
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,239
Speaker 2: but Bob and Hamburg will lead us off as we

545
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 2: get to more of your phone calls. At eight h

546
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 2: three zero five fifty won eighty eight five point fifty

547
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 2: two five point fifty on a Buffalo victory Monday for

548
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: your AFC East champion Buffalo Bills. We're back in a

549
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 2: flash here on one Bill's Live. Stay tuned, all right,

550
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 2: Welcome back to one Bill's Live. This week's Player of

551
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 2: the Game is presented by Wegman's Meals to Go. Wegman's

553
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 2: and I might file a little bit of protest here,

554
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 2: but I get it. Deontay Hardy is your Player of

555
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 2: the Game, thanks in large part to his ninety six

556
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: yard punt return in the fourth quarter against the Dolphins.

557
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 2: So ninety six yards and incidentally, Steve, that is the

558
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 2: longest punt return in Bill's history. To go for a touchdown,

559
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 2: eclipsing the previous record of ninety one yards held by

560
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 2: Keith Moody, who was a very good return man for

561
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: the Bills. He's got a lot of Bills records in

562
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 2: the return game, and it was the turning point of

563
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 2: the game. I think you could submit that Josh Allen

564
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 2: with four hundred and twenty six yards of total offense

565
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: could factor into the conversation too, But that's fine, We'll

566
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 2: give it to Hardy.

567
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 6: How about having four hundred and twenty yards of total

568
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 6: offense going under the radar.

569
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 2: It didn't for me I on the on the radio broadcast.

570
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 2: He was our difference making player of the game, Josh,

571
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 2: so we gave it to him.

572
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 6: There another thing, too, is one thing about it. So

573
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 6: the Bills they get this big boost from Hardy, and

574
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 6: I want to talk about this in the first segment

575
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 6: of God Baby. So somebody's put this out on social

576
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 6: and it's awesome. The Bills score the touchdown to Dawson

577
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 6: Oox to take the lead twenty to fourteen, and Tyler

578
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 6: bass is backed up to kick the extra point and

579
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 6: they show the thing and the Bills take the lead

580
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 6: over the Dolphins with seven one to six left on

581
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 6: the clock in the fourth court. Yeah, that was awesome. Yeah,

582
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 6: seven minutes and sixteen seconds and the Bills kicked the

583
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 6: extra point to take the lead in the AFC East.

584
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 6: That that was a very nice little moment of serendipity there,

585
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 6: so kind of a cool moment. I don't have a

586
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 6: problem giving it to Hardy. That the thing about last night,

587
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 6: and you know, stuff like this happens once in a

588
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 6: while where you just got a chance to appreciate guys

589
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 6: that we didn't get a chance to appreciate during the

590
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 6: regular season. Haven't had a chance to see during the

591
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 6: regular season. Hardy has been out there and he's been playing,

592
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 6: but you know, to have his moment happened in that situation, awesome.

593
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 6: Taylor raps only interception of the year comes to Sice

594
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 6: the game for the Division championship. Bayle Inspector comes in

595
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 6: and just like cuts a swath through the Miami run

596
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 6: game that had been being Nick and the Bills all

597
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 6: the entire game. Balon Spector comes in. Ryan Vandermark from

598
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 6: nowhere from the top Rope comes in.

599
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 2: I told Steve this before we came on the air,

600
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: and Eric would mention this on the broadcast because he

601
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 2: saw it. Is my favorite moment maybe of the entire game.

602
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 2: Ryan Vandermark comes in because Deion Dawkins is literally getting

603
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 2: his ring finger stitched up after an ugly thing happened

604
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 2: to his finger, and then they're still taping him while

605
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 2: the drive is going on and vander Mark's on the field.

606
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 2: I think outside of field goal unit stuff, it's some

607
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 2: of his first action on offense the entire regular season.

608
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 6: He might have come in on for like for a

609
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 6: sixtepens one but.

610
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 2: He didn't, or in garbage time at the end of

611
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 2: some blowout games that's they won early in the season.

612
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 2: He's coming in at the most important time of the

613
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: football game, a touchdown drive to take the lead. They

614
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 2: finished the drive, they score the touchdown, you know, the

615
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 2: pass from Allen to Knox. Deon Dawkins runs onto the

616
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 2: field and he picks up Ryan Vandermark in a bear huk.

617
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 2: That is awesome. I mean, if you want to describe

618
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 2: what the Buffalo locker room is like, that's it. That's

619
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 2: it right there, quintessential Buffalo Bill's locker room moment right there,

620
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 2: Dion Dawkins hugging the guy that replaced him in the

621
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 2: lineup on what to be the game winning touchdown drive.

622
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 2: Just special, special stuff. Let's go back to the phones

00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 2: Bob and Hamburg here to lead us off. Let me

626
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 2: punch him up here. What's going on with my thing?

627
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 10: Oh man, what a night I had.

628
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 11: It was a great game.

629
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 10: Nobody gave us a chance after that Philadelphia game. And

630
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 10: I'm telling you we're going to Super Bowl. This team

631
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 10: has got heart. This team is like our ninetiest teams.

632
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 10: They got hurt, right, Steve, have a.

633
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 6: Good one, Thank you, Bob. Yeah, they're a special team.

634
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 6: I'm not listen. There's a lot of football that has

635
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 6: to be played before they can they go to the

636
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 6: super Bowl. They got to get by some really good

637
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 6: teams they're going, not to mention, the least of which

638
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 6: is the Pittsburgh Steelers coming in to high Mark this

639
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 6: next weekend. Now you know TJ. Watt's not gonna play,

640
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 6: and having that monster out of their lineup is gonna

641
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 6: help the Bills, no question about it. But to get

642
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 6: to the super Bowl, make no mistake, as good as

643
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 6: the Bills are, and if they play their absolute best,

644
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 6: they're still gonna need the ball to bounce their way

645
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 6: some at some point along the line, they're gonna need

646
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 6: a fortuitous penalty call or they're gonna have to get

647
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 6: away with something. Every team does it. This is when

648
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 6: you get to this place in the NFL season, you

649
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 6: got to play well and take advantage of mistakes by

650
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 6: the other team. Uh, You've got to That's just the

651
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 6: way it is. That's the way. That's the way the

652
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 6: league is built. Uh, if you play your best, you

653
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 6: get a chance to win. Your mentality and your preparation

654
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 6: everything is key. And I've said this to some of

655
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 6: the teams that we were that I was on. There

656
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 6: was the ones that you know, all those super Bowl

657
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 6: teams you always and fans do this. I've talked about this,

658
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 6: I think on the show. Before you get this idea

659
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 6: that you got to do something special to win a

660
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,959
Speaker 6: big playoff game or a super Bowl, you think like, yeah, Okay,

661
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 6: we really got to you know, we really got to

662
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 6: prepare better, we got to do something, And that's not true.

663
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 6: The best way to go into the big games is

664
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 6: that just reveal to people who you are. You're special

665
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 6: just for being on the field. You're special because you've

666
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 6: earned your right to be in that on that field,

667
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 6: reveal to people who you are. You got to go

668
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 6: out there with a mindset of showing people who've never

669
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 6: seen you play why you're in that game. That's the

670
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 6: mentality you have to have because it takes away all

671
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 6: the consequences and the angst about what happens if I

672
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 6: make a mistake. You can't go into a game like that.

673
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 6: You just guys, listen, man, let me show you what

674
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 6: we're about. The Bills kind of had that mentality in

675
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 6: the second half of this lat game last night. Yep,

676
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 6: they said, let's go a lot of those guys did

677
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 6: all those the you know, the the rinsing through of

678
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 6: all the guys that had to step onto the field

679
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 6: for the first time in significant action in a minute.

680
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 6: Surefield Shakir has been doing it really well. You know,

681
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 6: Diggs is always in that mindset, Josh is always in

682
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 6: that mindset. But you had other guys doing it as well.

683
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 2: It was Benford had a hell of a game.

684
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna sit here and say like Bob did

685
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 6: and Hamburger Man, like the Bills are going to the

686
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 6: super Bowl and you can believe it and you and

687
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 6: hope for it and and that's fine, but there's a

688
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 6: lot has to happen before that that goes on, and

689
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 6: you can't skip a step. You know, you can't skip

690
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:09,720
Speaker 6: a step.

691
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 2: Let's go to John in Buffalo next. What you got

692
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 2: for us?

693
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 6: John?

694
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 12: This?

695
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 11: Uh uh?

696
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 13: This is John Foley Collin And I just want to

697
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 13: tell you that I'm so proud of our team. Tremendous

698
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 13: effort by every player on that team when we were

699
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 13: having people going down, that every player on that team

700
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 13: that Sean would put on that field did a tremendous job.

701
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 13: I'm so thankful for our team. Uhh. On the tremendous

702
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 13: furth quarter quarterback. I love him at when sometimes it's

703
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 13: been the beginning of the game where he threw that

704
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,439
Speaker 13: interception and that and I saw a play before there

705
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 13: there was an interference.

706
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 14: Call that they could have called.

707
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 13: Said do that because he's such a fantastic quarterback. Two gentlemen,

708
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 13: I want to say, I love each one of you.

709
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 13: Chris Steve, You're two faiths and our team. You always

710
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 13: give us tremendous confidence faith believing each one of the players.

711
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 13: When I came up to the stadium, I went over

712
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 13: by Ralph Wilson's at you over there. I told him help,

713
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,959
Speaker 13: thank you your loyalty to the Buffalo Bills fans, never

714
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 13: moving the team. Been so proud of this organization for

715
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,439
Speaker 13: so many years, going through when we lost our four

716
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 13: Super Bowls. Never forget other things that saw with this franchise.

717
00:39:55,960 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 13: Each end kills this tool, gentlemen, templify full of Bills

718
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 13: fan is all about. Thank you for all your positive admiration.

719
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 13: Our team and our organization love.

720
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 2: You all right, Thanks John, I appreciate that. Yeah, I'm

721
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 2: just gonna give you a tidbit. So we know that

722
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 2: the Bills were struggling with execution last week against the Patriots.

723
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 2: Three drop passes on third downs to kill drives. Josh

724
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 2: admitted that bal didn't come out of his hand. Well

725
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 2: said he had some throwing mechanics to clean up. There

726
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 2: were some miscues on special teams right off the jump

727
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 2: against the Patriots. We know that. And I was able

728
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 2: to have a pregame radio interview for our radio broadcast

729
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 2: with offensive coordinator Joe Brady. I asked him, how did

730
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 2: Josh come through the practice week working on his throwing mechanics.

731
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 2: What was the focus on some of the things that

732
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 2: you guys felt you had to clean up in the

733
00:40:55,960 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 2: practice week, And he said, our entire practice week was

734
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 2: about technique and fundamentals, nothing else. Technique and fundamentals, which

735
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 2: I think speaks to your point, Steve, about how you

736
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 2: don't have to do anything out of the ordinary, extra

737
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 2: special in a big game. If you focus on technique

738
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 2: and fundamentals, you'll execute the way you need to to

739
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,959
Speaker 2: win a football game like this. Now, did they still

740
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 2: make some mistakes? Sure, you know you had turnovers. In

741
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 2: this league, with the level of competition as tight as

742
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 2: it is, it is hard to play a perfect game.

743
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 2: It is really hard. But the focus that they put

744
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 2: in through the course of the practice week enabled them

745
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 2: to make more plays and execute more effectively than the

746
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins, and it's a big reason why they are

747
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 2: AFC's champions. Again.

748
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're right, it's it's everything that goes right and

749
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 6: everything goes wrong there. You know, you can generalize and

750
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 6: it doesn't really give you the specifics of every instance,

751
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 6: but think about it. When your fundamental and technique sound,

752
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 6: the rest of it is just situational. The rest of

753
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 6: it is just like, in what situation do you need

754
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 6: to get down to stop the clock when you know

755
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 6: to catch the pass and stay in bounds. You saw late,

756
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 6: you know last night when Josh was scrambling, he tried

757
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 6: to stay in bounds. I actually put his hand out

758
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 6: of bounds. The technique of you know, guys blocking the

759
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 6: punter on the last on the punt return. And then

760
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 6: the rest is you know, flexing, like when Josh this

761
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 6: the highlight we're looking at right now, third and third

762
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 6: and I can't get over this play third and thirteen

763
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 6: and Josh runs for fifteen and those guys wanted no

764
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 6: part of him. They wanted no part of him. They

765
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 6: were getting they were getting out of the way. Yeah,

766
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 6: it was. It was. You know, your technique and your

767
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 6: fundamentals are so important and it gets you through to

768
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 6: the point where your own ability, in your own training

769
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 6: and your own expertise take over and you can make

770
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 6: it superlative play in a situation because you your fundamentals

771
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 6: took you there. It's just you know that that's the

772
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 6: way it works. You can bet that this week with

773
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 6: a Sunday at one o'clock game, this this place is

774
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 6: going to be on a rhythm, and I mean they're

775
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 6: going to be in their rhythm right through the week,

823
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 2: It, Len. A lot of people are riding high this

824
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 2: morning or this afternoon. I don't know what time it is.

825
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 6: Sorry, yeah, yeah, I think it's three am. But well,

826
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 6: thanks for calling back, Lynn, because we had a lot

827
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 6: of people, well Brownie and I you know, we're obviously

828
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 6: we're in the building, so we're gonna spend everything as

829
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 6: positive as we can. Even when the Bills were six

830
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 6: and six and lost over time of the Eagles, and

831
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 6: there were people, you know, you're writing hit job hit

832
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 6: jobs on the head coach and all this kind of

833
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 6: stuff going to offensive coordinator changes. It was dark. It

834
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 6: was a dark time. But this team was playing and

835
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 6: playing really good football despite the fact that they were

836
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 6: struggling to score points and win games. And we saw

837
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,720
Speaker 6: it and a lot of other people did too. Something

838
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 6: and I get it. We just said that you rarely

839
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 6: see a team do what the Bills just did. Five

840
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 6: win five straight to win the division and walk a

841
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 6: team down with a three game lead with five games

842
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 6: to play.

843
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, there they were two back in the win column,

844
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 2: three back in the lost column because the Bills were

845
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 2: six and six and the Dolphins were eight and three,

846
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 2: So two back in the win column, three back in

847
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 2: the lost column, and they ran them down. Yeah, and

848
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 2: then you can't even say, like, well, you got lucky.

849
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 2: The last game was for all of them, all the

850
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 2: division marbles, and you played the Bills head to head.

851
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a head to head loss.

852
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 2: It wasn't like, well, they won and we lost and

853
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 2: we had a bad break and whatever.

854
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 6: You're not as good beat the team. You just weren't

855
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 6: as good. Not this year.

856
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 2: What does Rick Flair always say, to be the man,

857
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 2: you gotta beat the man.

858
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, they just the Bills played better than the Dolphins

859
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 6: did in both games they played this year by far,

860
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,280
Speaker 6: even last night in for the division on the road

861
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 6: in Miami's building. The Bills, I mean, they were moving

862
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 6: the football all over the Dolphins, all over them. And

863
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 6: the Dolphins are going three and out in the second

864
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 6: half with the number one offense in the league.

865
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, so here you go. I'll run it down for you,

866
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 2: all right. So second half, when the Bills score the

867
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 2: touchdown on the punt return, here's the Dolphins last five

868
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 2: possessions of the game in the second half. Three and out,

869
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 2: punt four and out, punt three and out, punt three

870
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 2: and out, punt four and out, interception, end of ballgame.

871
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 2: That's Buffalo's defense in the second half on the number

872
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 2: one scoring team in football, number one offense in football,

873
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 2: number one passing team in football. Three three and outs,

874
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 2: two four and outs and a pick. Let's go to

875
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:51,720
Speaker 2: Greg in Northtownawanda next we got Greg.

876
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 17: Hey, how you doing, guys, Just a wonderful Monday.

877
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:56,919
Speaker 15: Hey.

878
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,320
Speaker 17: It's just, you know, it's just such a big, big

879
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 17: difference with this win our road to the Super Bowl.

880
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 17: I mean, we've got a host Pittsburgh, the seventh seed,

881
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 17: and then we get another home game if we beat them,

882
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 17: instead of you know, starting off going back to Miami

883
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 17: and then if we'd won that game, we would head

884
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 17: to play in Baltimore, and if we'd won that game,

885
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 17: we'd have to go somewhere else. So it's just such

886
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 17: an easier road that they pay for themselves. I really

887
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 17: think that Cleveland is going to beat Houston. I think

888
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 17: a lot of people think that. I think Cleveland's the

889
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 17: better peven If that happens and the Bills win, you've

890
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 17: got Cleveland going to Baltimore, and the last time that happened,

891
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 17: Cleveland won, and that might set up a situation where

892
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,720
Speaker 17: the championship game is at the home for the Bills.

893
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 2: That possibility exists, Greg, Yeah, you're right about that. That

894
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 2: possibility does exist. I'm just going to tell you don't

895
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 2: sell to Houston. Text in short, CJ. Stroud is the

896
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 2: real deal. That kid is wise beyond his years. You

897
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 2: see him at the postgame podium. He sounds like a

898
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 2: thirty five year old and he's twenty two. Yeah, and

899
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 2: that kid can.

900
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 6: He's in play. He's impressed.

901
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 2: He can flat out play really impressive. And Uh, I'm

902
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 2: telling you, man, watch out for that kid and that

903
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 2: Houston Texans team. They have a pass rush and they

904
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 2: have a quarterback. They can play.

905
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, hopefully, you know what, let's let's just say we hope,

906
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 6: we hope we get to that point. You know you're

907
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 6: gonna take on all commerce. Uh, it's you know, let

908
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 6: it fall.

909
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 2: The way the way these chips fell, though, is advantageous

910
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 2: for Buffalo in a big way, not only because of

911
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 2: the seeding that they have steve but even if even

912
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 2: the way the thing fell, with Houston winning the division,

913
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 2: you don't have to play them right away necessarily either,

914
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 2: because the lowest seed will go to Baltimore after this week, right,

915
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 2: you got will smit the next lowest seed he provided.

916
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 6: Here's the thing. It because of history and what we've

917
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,280
Speaker 6: seen other years, do it's more likely that the Bills

918
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 6: advance now with the seeding the way it is. It's

919
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 6: not predictive.

920
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 2: No, you gotta play guarantees.

921
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 6: So it's it's something that you know. When they look

922
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 6: back on it, Miami fans are going, oh, yeah, but

923
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 6: you had it easy in the playoffs because you got

924
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 6: that ata. Hopefully that happens. Yes they can, they can

925
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 6: take it all. But yes, and the teams are in

926
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 6: a lock to beat the Dolphins either. That's right. It

927
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 6: seems more likely, but there's no guarantees and it's not

928
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 6: predictive of what has happened in the last But you

929

Speaker 2: are every Monday after victories by our colleague Maddie Clab

948
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:20,439
Speaker 2: for what Else The Maddie Awards presented by Energy Mark,

949
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:25,359
Speaker 2: the official energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills. And we

950
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 2: rely on Maddie for a little energy jolt here in

951
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 2: our number two as we are all all of us

952
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 2: across the board short on sleep after last night, So

953
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 2: hit us up, Maddie. What do we got here? We're

954
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,280
Speaker 2: going a little march madness.

955
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:42,720
Speaker 18: Fun shining moment. That's our first award.

956
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 19: It's going to Taylor rap The Dolphins get the ball

957
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 19: with just under two minutes to go in this game,

958
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 19: and the Bills turn it over on down. So that's

959
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 19: why the Dolphins have the ball. You're thinking, could there

960
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 19: be a momentum shift here for Miami. They pick up

961
00:53:57,600 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 19: two back to back first downs, one off of a

962
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 19: path interference. Miami has it on Buffalo's forty yard line

963
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 19: and Taylor Rapp intercepts two Tongue Bailoa's deep ball with

964
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:10,760
Speaker 19: just over a minute left to go in the game,

965
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 19: ending things getting a victory for the Buffalo Bills. You

966
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 19: wanted something to happen like this. You were hoping the

967
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 19: defense could come up with a big stop or an

968
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 19: interception or something to end it so that Miami didn't

969
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 19: have to make it even tighter than it needed to be.

970
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 18: The defense was huge in the second half of this game.

971
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 19: They allowed only fifty seven total yards in the second half,

972
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:40,760
Speaker 19: zero points, seven rushing yards. They allowed zero rushing yards

973
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 19: in the third quarter. I think their halftime adjustments were incredible.

974
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 19: Kudos Shshan McDermott, Eric Washington, the defensive staff for doing

975
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 19: what they needed to do to really close things out.

976
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 19: Steve and I talked about it in the postgame show

977
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:57,280
Speaker 19: last night. After that pun return touchdown that the Bills

978
00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 19: had that Deontay Hardy had, the defense comes back on

979
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 19: the field, they forced two back to back three and

980
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,760
Speaker 19: outs and really put the Bills offense in the position

981
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 19: to win this game. And then the defense closes things out.

982
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 19: One shining moment. That is you, Taylor Rap for being.

983
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:14,760
Speaker 18: Able to seal the deal get the victory for Buffalo.

984
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 6: And you knew this was coming up too, and we

985
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 6: talked about a little bit in the first segment of

986
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 6: the show about Deontay Hardy being the spark plug again.

987
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 6: That really changed the momentum of the game. You could

988
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 6: feel it in the crowd even on the broadcast.

989
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 19: The Bills needed to find a way to get into

990
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 19: the end zone in the second half, down by seven,

991
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 19: they needed some sort of spark to get things going,

992
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 19: and Deontay Hardy was exactly that.

993
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 18: He's a spark.

994
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 19: With the feet that he has, He's pretty quick, and

995
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 19: he was a spark for getting into the end zone

996
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:46,720
Speaker 19: and tying things up there. Dorian Williams, Taylor, rap poona

997
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 19: Ford had some nice blocks to open it up.

998
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 18: And that's what did it.

999
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:54,720
Speaker 19: That's what was the momentum shifter that the Bills really needed.

1000
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,799
Speaker 19: He doesn't have any crazy stats this season, but in

1001
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 19: big moments, you just need a player to show up

1002
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 19: and do the right thing. None of those stats matter

1003
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 19: when you got the ball in your hand with a

1004
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,319
Speaker 19: chance to make a difference, and he did that.

1005
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 2: He wasn't even touched. I asked him after the game,

1006
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 2: I said, were you even touched on the return? And

1007
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 2: he says, I don't know. I blacked out. That's what

1008
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 2: I think. What happens on these plays.

1009
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 6: Is that the thing that happens, yes, and the thing

1010
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 6: about it is you see him running down there, that

1011
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 6: the sidelines going crazy is his coach Harkey is running

1012
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 6: down the side of the he is He's running down

1013
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 6: the sideline. The crowd is absolutely losing its mind. His

1014
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 6: teammates are losing their mind. And when you're running the

1015
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 6: ball like that. You can't hear or see any of it.

1016
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 6: You can't hear even at this point. You can't hear it,

1017
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 6: you can't see.

1018
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 2: It nothing, Like you're just in a vacuum somewhere, right. Yeah,

1019
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 2: And you know because he said he blacked out, and

1020
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,359
Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, he must mean he couldn't see here,

1021
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 2: remember anything. That is He's just motor memory here.

1022
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 6: It's the corner, not Jordan Josh Norman. Josh Josh Norman

1023
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 6: running down the sideline as well with the ponytail. You

1024
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,280
Speaker 6: don't you come out of it somewhere after the play

1025
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 6: is over and you're walking back and you start yelling

1026
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 6: at your teammates and stuff, having fun. But yeah, you

1027
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 6: just go off the air in plays like that. It

1028
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 6: happens even and it doesn't mean you have to have

1029
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 6: the ball. All the other guys on the field are

1030
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 6: the same way. It's the strangest thing. You just can't

1031
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 6: hear or see anything. I love it. It's awesome.

1032
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 19: He was the celeb on the sideline after he came

1033
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 19: back to the sideline after scoring that touchdown. Matthew Smiley

1034
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 19: Special Teams Cordinair was feeling it as well.

1035
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,919
Speaker 2: So great Yeah, all right. So next up the guy

1036
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 2: that had a little toe drag swag last night.

1037
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 19: Best catch that's going to Trent Sherfield. He's another guy

1038
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 19: doesn't have the flashy stats, comes into this game with

1039
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 19: just eight catches for sixty two yards. Ball gets tipped,

1040
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 19: goes flying in the air. Surefield was able to locate

1041
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 19: it nowhere his.

1042
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 18: Feet need to be and gets the touchdown.

1043
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 19: Showing up for your team when your team needs you most,

1044
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 19: and doing it against his former team he played for.

1045
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 18: The Dolphins last season.

1046
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 19: Being able to get in the end zone get a

1047
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 19: touchdown was huge. That toe drag swag. Man oh man,

1048
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 19: what a catch.

1049
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 6: Yeah that was. He was the intended receiver, but Josh

1050
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 6: was trying to throw it through the trees, you know,

1051
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 6: and it got whacked clear up in the air by

1052
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 6: Van Ginko.

1053
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 2: Went off his helmet.

1054
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it just came down perfectly. He stayed with it,

1055
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 6: kept his feet in great awareness. It's not easy to do.

1056
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 2: Here is a fun random fact. Let's hear this is

1057
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 2: the same end zone where Trent Surefield, as a member

1058
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 2: of the Miami Dolphins, had a punt kicked off his

1059
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 2: rear end. Oh my gosh, the same end zone, same place.

1060
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 2: It's like ten feet from where he had a football

1061
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 2: kicked off that place, So he is officially redeemed himself

1062
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 2: in it. Totally redeemed yourself, very positive.

1063
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 6: One that's right.

1064
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 2: Undeniable is the next one.

1065
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 19: That was Joshua Patrick Allen QB one. The offense was

1066
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 19: moving the ball in this game, four hundred and seventy

1067
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 19: three total yards of offense, but that doesn't mean anything

1068
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 19: if you don't have points to go along with it.

1069
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 19: With ten minutes to go in the third quarter, this

1070
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 19: team had three hundred and five total yards of offense

1071
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 19: and just seven points. And then the alien, the monster,

1072
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 19: the wicked athlete, whatever you want to call josh Allen

1073
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 19: awoke in the second half of the game and started

1074
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 19: to turn things around. Those yards started to turn into points.

1075
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 19: I think about that third and thirteen in the fourth

1076
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 19: qord with just over three minutes to go in the game.

1077
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 19: Josh Allen scrambles for fifteen yards, gets a first down,

1078
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 19: continues to keep.

1079
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 18: The drive alive.

1080
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 19: He was hitting his receivers to a couple of big plays.

1081
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 19: Two on that touchdown to Dawson Knox. You had two

1082
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 19: plays go over twenty yards to Kincaid and Shakir for

1083
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 19: the Bills to take the lead with that Dawson Knox touch.

1084
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 19: And when things are tight and maybe not looking the brightest,

1085
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 19: that's when Josh Allen prevails. That's the quarterback that every

1086
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 19: NFL fan wants on their team when you have to

1087
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 19: battle for a win. There wasn't just one moment where

1088
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 19: I was wondering, you know, is he gonna turn it

1089
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 19: up a notch? Is he gonna come alive? What's gonna

1090
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 19: happen here?

1091
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 18: Can he make it happen?

1092
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 19: I was just thinking, when when is Josh Allen gonna

1093
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 19: wake up and turn things around for this team?

1094
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 18: Because he's done it so many times.

1095
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 19: That's the guy I want in the game, leading things

1096
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 19: for this team when they need to get points to

1097
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 19: win the game.

1098
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, he runs on that That that play we've been

1099
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 6: talking about. You know, Christian Wilkins is chasing him down

1100
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 6: and at one point is on his back and Josh

1101
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:46,479
Speaker 6: he's got two d bat I mean there's three guys

1102
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 6: around him. He's five yards We've been talking about his

1103
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 6: five yards short. If any other quarterback makes that play,

1104
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 6: it is off the charge. Oh it's on loop it's

1105
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 6: on loop and it's catapulted to the top of everybody's conversation.

1106
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 6: Right Hereian Wilkins gets his back at two guys in

1107
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 6: front of him, and they just absolutely olay him.

1108
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 2: They wad orco who did?

1109
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 6: They want no part of that.

1110
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 2: I want any part of that.

1111
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 6: Josh and I don't know. We've had this conversation. I

1112
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 6: get it. If Josh Allen doesn't win the MVP in

1113
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 6: a year like this, he'll never win it.

1114
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 18: Forty four total touchdowns.

1115
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 6: He'll never win it.

1116
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:22,479
Speaker 18: Too, shy of his career high.

1117
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 6: You look back and you look into the nuts and

1118
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 6: bolts of why this season was a success for Buffalo.

1119
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 6: He's the reason.

1120
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 2: People just can't get past the turnovers and they never

1121
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 2: will and it will cost him MVP votes. Right, wrong

1122
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 2: or indifferent?

1123
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it is wrong.

1124
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 2: It might will stand in the way of people. People

1125
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 2: get blinded by that. And I look, I understand why

1126
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 2: you can statistically prove in an argument that turnovers are

1127
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 2: the biggest inhibitor winning football games. The amazing thing is

1128
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 2: this guy wins in spite of it. I mean, Maddie

1129
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 2: gave me a stat last week that what was it?

1130
01:01:55,800 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 2: They're a minus twelve in primetime primetime game, they're a

1131
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 2: minus twelve and their record is for the regular season,

1132
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 2: and now they were minus last night they were minus one.

1133
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 2: So now they're minus thirteen in primetime games and they're

1134
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 2: fifteen and seven.

1135
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:12,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's six touchdowns ahead of the second place guy,

1136
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 6: which is who.

1137
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 19: Is is the MVP, He's the most valuable player. He

1138
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 19: turns it around for this team. They're eleven and two

1139
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 19: against the Miami Dolphins, and in every single game he's

1140
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 19: had multiple touchdown performances.

1141
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 18: Nobody else in the NFL has done this.

1142
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 2: I say this to at least two touchdown passes now

1143
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 2: in thirteen straight games against the Dolphins, which is a

1144
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 2: league record against one opponent.

1145
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 6: In the Yeah. In the run up to this, Josh

1146
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 6: has been the guy that that drives everything. And certainly

1147
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 6: it's a it's a spectrum of good and bad plays.

1148
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 18: That's the experience.

1149
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 6: But but the but the plays that he makes that

1150
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 6: are far beyond anything any other quarterback is doing in

1151
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 6: the league. The consistency, and you look at the losses

1152
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 6: the Bills took. Josh Allen gave the Bills the lead

1153
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 6: and for the six losses, he gave the Bills a

1154
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 6: lead in the last two minutes, either by a fourth

1155
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 6: quarter touchdown, you know, touchdown or field goal drive or

1156
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 6: you know, rushing for it. He orchestrated a lead for

1157
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 6: his team in for the their six losses this year

1158
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 6: in the last two minutes of the game. Right, And

1159
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 6: that's then. The defense was early on in the year

1160
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 6: when they were losing these games because they were trying

1161
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 6: to recalibrate defensively, they couldn't get it, you know what

1162
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 6: I mean, right.

1163
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 2: And the difference now is the defenses. The defense is

1164
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 2: closing games out and had to do it like last night,

1165
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 2: even when they couldn't hang on to the ball to

1166
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 2: close it out. All right, So next up the heating

1167
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 2: Up award.

1168
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 18: Heating up.

1169
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 19: Stefan Diggs had eight targets, seven catches, eighty seven yards.

1170
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 18: I'm calling it right now. The connection is heating up.

1171
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 19: Last week we heard from Joe Brady, Josh Allen, and

1172
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 19: Sean McDermott about how Stefan Diggs is such a difference

1173
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 19: maker in the big games and that they need to

1174
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,439
Speaker 19: get him the ball. Well they did that last night

1175
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,040
Speaker 19: and I love how they connected on that deep ball. Yes,

1176
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 19: it could have been two. Yes, that one have been

1177
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 19: a touchdown, but we're working up to that. Maybe we

1178
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 19: get that on Sunday afternoon against the Steelers. I love

1179
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 19: to see these guys getting back to their routine. Stephan

1180
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 19: Digs such a difference maker for this one. Whether he's

1181
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 19: catching balls or not, you have to account for Stephan

1182
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 19: Diggs when he is on the field.

1183
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 18: That catch, that big play.

1184
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 19: Catch that he had last night, incredible catch, being able

1185
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 19: to pull that ball in when you had a defensive

1186
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 19: player just blanket you. Nobody else in the NFL can

1187
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 19: do that. There's very few that can do that. And

1188
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 19: I cannot wait to see what these two have in

1189
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 19: store come Sunday after ead.

1190
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 2: That's what the receivers in the game called a hands

1191
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 2: catch because it's all hands there. You're using your body

1192
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 2: to position yourself. But if you think about his adjustment

1193
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 2: to the ball there, that's great deep ball tracking. Then

1194
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 2: it's working around the dB because he had to work

1195
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 2: around him to even make a play on the ball.

1196
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 2: And then he positions his body in such a way

1197
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 2: where he can get two hands on it while he's

1198
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 2: sliding down the field at fulls speed. The degree of

1199
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 2: difficulty on that catch. I think is underappreciated because this

1200
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 2: is elite level stuff here, and he makes it look easy.

1201
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 2: I mean, it's downright scary, the elitism of this play,

1202
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 2: it really is.

1203
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 19: The next Gen stats had it at twenty five point

1204
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 19: one percent chance that that catch would have happened.

1205
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but with him on the field it goes up

1206
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:28,600
Speaker 2: to about sixty five to seventy percent because he's Stefan

1207
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 2: Dix that I mean that that's why you have an

1208
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 2: elite receiver like that to make unlikely plays likely, and

1209
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 2: that's what he did there without any question. Uh, what

1210
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 2: do we got next? ONUSO Heroes? I like this one.

1211
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 18: Yep.

1212
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 19: How about the guys who had to step up in

1213
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 19: the absence of others last night? Gabe Davis goes out,

1214
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 19: Tyrell Doddson, Ty Johnson, Deon Dawkins, Rasul Douglas all come

1215
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 19: out at points in this game. Bayle Inspector steps up,

1216
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 19: Dane Jackson steps up, the other receivers step up. Brian

1217
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 19: Vandermark even has to come in. This offensive line was

1218
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 19: used to having the same five guys up until that

1219
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 19: moment last night, and they didn't miss a beat when

1220
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 19: the backups came in. Baylon Spector had some huge tackles

1221
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 19: for this team. Dane Jackson was great in coverage. You're

1222
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 19: playing for an AFC East title, you want your best

1223
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 19: guys out there. And they had to go with the

1224
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 19: next man up mentality quite a few times last night,

1225
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 19: and it didn't matter because those guys were up for

1226
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 19: the challenge. They were ready for the moment, and that's

1227
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:30,560
Speaker 19: why they're the unsung.

1228
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 18: Heroes of this one.

1229
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 6: I thought that was the person out when you think

1230
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 6: back about this game, that's what's going to stand out

1231
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 6: as you get further and further away from it. How

1232
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 6: many guys contributed who hadn't had a chance to contribute

1233
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 6: that much during the regular season and the game that

1234
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 6: meant everything.

1235
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a good coaching decision too by Sean McDermott,

1236
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:52,600
Speaker 2: because when one of the two linebackers has left the

1237
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 2: lineup Dotson or Bernard, it's often been Dorian Williams the

1238
01:06:56,400 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 2: rookie stepping in. But that's a recognition by your coach

1239
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 2: as to what kind of game is being played and

1240
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 2: what we have to stop right now. At the time,

1241
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 2: when Spector came into the game, they had to stop

1242
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:13,240
Speaker 2: the run game the run game was gashing them. He

1243
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 2: chose the better run defender that he had at his

1244
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 2: disposal at linebacker rather than the better pass coverage defender,

1245
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 2: which is Dorian Williams. Put Specter into the game and

1246
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 2: the guy is lighting people up right from the jump.

1247
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:26,479
Speaker 6: Specter was really good.

1248
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 2: He was the right guy for what they needed at

1249
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 2: that time.

1250
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 6: No question about it. It was it was. It was right

1251
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 6: on time, right on point. And we knew that about

1252
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 6: spec when he came out of Clemson. Inspector was tackling everything. Yeah,

1253
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 6: and that's and that's what he did last night. It

1254
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 6: was a great call. It was a great in game

1255
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 6: adjustment by the Bills coaching staff. And and like we said, uh,

1256
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 6: these unsung hero guys came through with flying colors. Last

1257
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 6: one was the assist.

1258
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 2: Well, no, we got the best.

1259
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 19: Locker room first as locker room moment first, I got

1260
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:57,640
Speaker 19: to talk about this one. There were so many great

1261
01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 19: moments that came out of the locker rooms celebrations, whether

1262
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:02,919
Speaker 19: it was on the field or in the locker room

1263
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:06,920
Speaker 19: after the victory after becoming the AFC East champs for

1264
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:11,040
Speaker 19: four straight seasons. My favorite moment though, was Terry Pagula,

1265
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 19: the Bills owner in the locker room with his phone

1266
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 19: out recording the players celebrating. It was a total proud

1267
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 19: dad moment, soaking it all up.

1268
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:22,799
Speaker 7: He is so happy.

1269
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 6: His head is.

1270
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:26,759
Speaker 19: Bobbing to the music as he's watching these guys dance

1271
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:29,800
Speaker 19: and celebrate and shout out to Terry Pagula and the

1272
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 19: Pagolas and what they have done to make it possible

1273
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:36,400
Speaker 19: for the Bills to win the AFC East in four

1274
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 19: straight seasons. A lot of this is because of them,

1275
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 19: is because of the buy into this team. The bayen

1276
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 19: to Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean saying, I'll do whatever

1277
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 19: you guys need me to do for you to build

1278
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 19: a roster, for you to have the facilities that you

1279
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 19: need to be able to make a run here.

1280
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 2: All I'm gonna say is his kids, Kelly, Jesse and

1281
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 2: Matt are going to be supremely proud of their dad

1282
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 2: for working the vision on that phone, because that is

1283
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:05,720
Speaker 2: that's a big step for mister Bogula. He's, you know,

1284
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 2: like he's he was really happy to get that thing going,

1285
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:10,559
Speaker 2: and we are going to be proud.

1286
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:13,080
Speaker 6: We talk about the NFL all day every day, Brownie

1287
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 6: and I and we bring things up about other franchises

1288
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:18,639
Speaker 6: and how it's been going and stuff. Terry and Kim

1289
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 6: is like ten years they've had the club and now

1290
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 6: we've had this stretch ten years in October. Let me

1291
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 6: tell you some The success of every franchise, no matter

1292
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:31,240
Speaker 6: what is, it starts at the top. And Kim and

1293
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 6: Terry have done a phenomenal job hiring the right people.

1294
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:38,839
Speaker 6: There's obviously, and I've had other owners around the NFL

1295
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:41,640
Speaker 6: say this when they acquired teams that I've talked to

1296
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:44,639
Speaker 6: him personally and they said, listen, they throw the keys

1297
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:46,679
Speaker 6: of the building at and say, hey, good luck. There's

1298
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 6: no there's no vision, there's no like how to how

1299
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:54,920
Speaker 6: to run a franchise. And football is a unique industry.

1300
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 6: So carrying tim after a quick learning curve, they get

1301
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 6: in here and they hire you know, after the Rex

1302
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 6: Ryan is and they and they kind of get swept

1303
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 6: up in that and they said, wait a minute, wait

1304
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 6: a minute, and I'll say the best thing they ever

1305
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 6: did when it wasn't going well, they pulled the plug.

1306
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 6: Now they did not like give it another year. It

1307
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 6: was like, no, they hired Brandon, they hired Haired Sean

1308
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:21,600
Speaker 6: hired Brandon, and they have supported them and given them

1309
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 6: everything they needed to be successful. It starts at the

1310
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 6: very top and then then some So kudos to them

1311
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:28,360
Speaker 6: and and Sean and Brand will tell you the same

1312
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 6: thing when you go to other teams, and he and

1313
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 6: I did it for twenty years with CBS. You go

1314
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 6: around these other franchises, it's not right.

1315
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:39,639
Speaker 2: At the top, and you can tell.

1316
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 6: And you can tell. The proof is in the pudding.

1317
01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:45,599
Speaker 6: And here in Buffalo they they it's right at the top.

1318
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 2: All right. And now we're ready for the final award,

1319
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 2: the assist with a capital A.

1320
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 19: With the capital A, it's going to Bill's Mafia for

1321
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:57,639
Speaker 19: showing up in Miami. At times, it sounded like a

1322
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 19: home game out there. There's a sideline view of the

1323
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:04,280
Speaker 19: Deontay Hardy punter turn touchdown and the stands looked like

1324
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:07,680
Speaker 19: a complete and total fifty to fifty split, And in

1325
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 19: that moment, it surely sounded like a home game. And

1326
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:13,080
Speaker 19: then Bill's Mafia, if you're watching on MSG network right now,

1327
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:15,960
Speaker 19: they show up at like four forty five in the

1328
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:19,800
Speaker 19: morning to help celebrate this AFC East title. As the

1329
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 19: team is getting off the plane, No other fan base

1330
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:25,120
Speaker 19: in the universe would do this. Bill's Mafia. That is

1331
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 19: why you are incredible. I cannot wait to see what

1332
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 19: you have in store for Sunday.

1333
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:30,559
Speaker 18: Yeah.

1334
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:33,880
Speaker 2: And it wasn't just fifty people there at five in

1335
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:36,800
Speaker 2: the morning this Morningred, I mean, it was like a

1336
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 2: good three hundred, maybe four hundred people out there. And

1337
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:43,600
Speaker 2: the funniest thing was, as the players are leaving in

1338
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:46,320
Speaker 2: their vehicles, all they're looking for is a honk of

1339
01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 2: the horn, and so the players were obliging. So as

1340
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:51,919
Speaker 2: soon as somebody hit the horn, it was like ah,

1341
01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 2: Like the crowd level of the cheering went even louder.

1342
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:57,000
Speaker 2: They just wanted a couple of hanks. I think Josh

1343
01:11:57,120 --> 01:11:59,240
Speaker 2: rolled his window down on the passenger side and was

1344
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 2: waving to them, and you could hear there were people going,

1345
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 2: oh my god, Josh Allen, oh my god, because he

1346
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 2: gave him a wave like they were, you know, and

1347
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 2: when you're when you're waiting out there in the cold

1348
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:10,680
Speaker 2: at five in the morning on a Monday and you

1349
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:12,880
Speaker 2: got work, you know in a few hours, Oh, you

1350
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:13,600
Speaker 2: appreciate that.

1351
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 6: Oh my god, it's Chris Brown.

1352
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 2: No, nobody was doing that. We're not in the same

1353
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 2: parking lot as the play, so it's a little bit different.

1354
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 2: So yes, do not put me in.

1355
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 19: That Casker was the lone member and the other parking lot.

1356
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:28,479
Speaker 18: He brought a sign for you. It's welcome home.

1357
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:31,840

1379
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:27,880

1380
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:30,799
Speaker 19: up and feeling better. Sunday definitely helps instead of a

1381

1384
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 19: at the stats as we start to get ready for

1385

Speaker 2: Buffalo Bill's Rate, all right, Welcome back to a Buffalo

1396
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:29,120
Speaker 2: victory Monday, afcees champs for the fourth consecutive season. That's

1397
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 2: happened two other times in Bill's history, back in the

1398
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 2: AFL days nineteen sixty three to nineteen sixty six and

1399
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:40,599
Speaker 2: during Steve's era nineteen eighty eight to nineteen ninety one.

1400
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:42,680
Speaker 2: We get back to the phones where we've had some

1401
01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 2: people waiting patiently. We want to get to each and

1402
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:46,639
Speaker 2: every one of you, and we go to Sandra in Rochester. Next.

1403
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 2: What do you got for is Sandra?

1404
01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:51,160
Speaker 14: Hello, guys, how are you great?

1405
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:56,639
Speaker 20: I want to apologize for you to you from last

1406
01:14:56,680 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 20: week the Bills on tea. I didn't even say to

1407
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 20: you guys, thank you for the call. But the game was.

1408
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 20: It was exciting, it was a nail bier, It was wonderful,

1409
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 20: it was oh my god. But can I just say

1410
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:17,400
Speaker 20: this last year to me, the Bills were up and

1411
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:23,480
Speaker 20: down since last season when the shooting happened, then the snowstorm,

1412
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 20: then the Bills had to play an away game and

1413
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 20: a home game in Detroit, and then DeMar Hamling. Then

1414
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:35,559
Speaker 20: this year up and down. I'm surprised the Bills are

1415
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:38,760
Speaker 20: where they are. I mean, think about it now, I'm

1416
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:43,200
Speaker 20: not surprised, but it's just a wonder that they're where

1417
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 20: they are now. That shows the resilience, the just the

1418
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 20: gut the grind these guys have. I mean, they're determined

1419
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:57,040
Speaker 20: and what's for you is for you. And I know

1420
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:00,519
Speaker 20: we all have said, yeah, they got to be this,

1421
01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:02,600
Speaker 20: they gotta do that, and they gotta do that. But

1422
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:07,800
Speaker 20: they're gonna do this. I believe, not just you know,

1423
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 20: because I've been with the Bill for thirty two years.

1424
01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 20: You know they're my team. I'm down with them. They

1425
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:19,439
Speaker 20: are gonna knock the doors down and win the whole thing.

1426
01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 20: They're just gonna do the thing. Thank you guys for

1427
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:22,559
Speaker 20: taking my call.

1428
01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:26,200
Speaker 2: All right, Sandra. Love the positivity on a Monday. Appreciate it. Yeah,

1429
01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 2: I mean when you see your team pull through for

1430
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:34,080
Speaker 2: you in a tight spot. Hope Spring's eternal and you

1431
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 2: know they had to push a boulder up a mountain

1432
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 2: to even be in contention to win the division. They

1433
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:44,840
Speaker 2: get there and they finish the job. So I understand

1434
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:47,880
Speaker 2: why you are resolutely positive. The second season. It's a

1435
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:50,719
Speaker 2: blank slate. You get to start over. There's no mountain,

1436
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 2: there's a different mountain. You have to climb. It's not

1437
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:55,400
Speaker 2: the same one you just climb to get there. It's

1438
01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:58,240
Speaker 2: a whole different mountain, and the competition is even better.

1439
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:03,360
Speaker 2: So that is the challenge. But this team, as battle

1440
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:06,720
Speaker 2: tested as they are and as resourceful as they have been,

1441
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:10,480
Speaker 2: understandably gives a lot of people a lot of optimism

1442
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:13,519
Speaker 2: and hope that they can make a deep playoff run

1443
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 2: here in the postseason. Let's go back to the phones

1444
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 2: and to Joe in Tanawandan next. What you got first, Joe?

1445
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:24,800
Speaker 21: Hi there, Steve, and Hi there, Chris. I just am

1446
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:27,360
Speaker 21: a long time listener, first time caller. I won't take

1447
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:29,720
Speaker 21: up too much of your time here, but I have

1448
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:32,920
Speaker 21: one question for you. To start three hours and thirty

1449
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 21: one minutes, Are you guys familiar with what that signifies? No,

1450
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 21: three hours and thirty one minutes, Steve, that's the amount

1451
01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:44,280
Speaker 21: of time it takes you to drive from Orchard Park

1452
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:47,439
Speaker 21: to Kenton, and you better get familiar with that drive, Steve,

1453
01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 21: because I've been watching since the War Memorial Days, and

1454
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 21: I remember when they brought in the five ft nine

1455
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 21: hundred and eighty pounds soak and wet kid from Houston

1456
01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:59,559
Speaker 21: Midway and eighty six with the heart the size of Texas.

1457
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:02,719
Speaker 21: You're going there, Steve.

1458
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:06,839
Speaker 2: That was awesome, nice reveal.

1459
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:10,200
Speaker 22: I love that second. Oh yeah, it's the least I

1460
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:15,400
Speaker 22: can do, Steve, And my second point, Coach McDermott. His

1461
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:19,559
Speaker 22: second half coaching performance. He's coaching a hurt defense. He

1462
01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:22,679
Speaker 22: pitches a shutout. He went for it on every fourth down.

1463
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 22: And he might not be an orator like you had

1464
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:27,639
Speaker 22: and Marv Leedy. He might not be a former player

1465
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:30,120
Speaker 22: like Lou Saban, but he is a man of faith

1466
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:33,240
Speaker 22: and he's a man of discipline. He is a good man.

1467
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:35,920
Speaker 21: In the national media, they're going to try to drag him,

1468
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 21: that Wisenheimer reporter, he can try to take him down

1469
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:41,439
Speaker 21: a peg. But he's our coach. There's no one else

1470
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:43,640
Speaker 21: I would want lead in that locker room, and I

1471
01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:46,599
Speaker 21: guarantee the players are with me. The quill is mightier

1472
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 21: than the sword, but in this case, the coach is

1473
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:53,240
Speaker 21: mightier than the quill. Go Bills, Go McDermott and Steve.

1474
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 21: I can't wait to take that drive down with you

1475
01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:55,800
Speaker 21: a cat in.

1476
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:58,760
Speaker 2: Someday, all right, Joe. For a first time caller, that

1477
01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:00,000
Speaker 2: was a heck of a performance.

1478
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:03,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, we must have rehearsed that it sounded off the cuff.

1479
01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:06,160
Speaker 2: To me, it sounded pretty genuine. He wasn't reading. He

1480
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 2: wasn't reading. Yes, speaking, I appreciate it.

1481
01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:09,000
Speaker 6: That's that's very nice.

1482
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:09,680
Speaker 2: I appreciate it.

1483
01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:12,479
Speaker 7: I like that three hours in thirty one minutes.

1484
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:16,720
Speaker 2: That's awesome. H We go to Kevin in Hamburg. Next,

1485
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:17,679
Speaker 2: what you got fir Us Kevin?

1486
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:19,479
Speaker 11: Hey, guys, how you doing? Thanks for taking my call?

1487
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:20,240
Speaker 2: Your thing? Guy?

1488
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 12: Uh?

1489
01:19:21,280 --> 01:19:24,599
Speaker 11: I bring up, thank God our two things. First, our

1490
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:28,800
Speaker 11: special teams, thank goodness, did something big and not blundered

1491
01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:31,880
Speaker 11: like last week the kickoff return that could have blown

1492
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 11: it for us, you know, through the whole game in

1493
01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:37,120
Speaker 11: a chaos. And then the week before the Chargers Hardy

1494
01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:39,160
Speaker 11: fumbled on a punt return. They could have blown that.

1495
01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:42,040
Speaker 11: So bank God, our special teams came through with a

1496
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:45,640
Speaker 11: big one, not a blunder. But can I bring up

1497
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 11: something honest with you guys? Yeah, I worry about time

1498
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 11: management sometimes recruiting mcdrumid is he still makes some time

1499
01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:58,080
Speaker 11: management blunders. And I'm sure you're gonna hear this from

1500
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 11: callers today or in the few Sure that first half

1501
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:04,479
Speaker 11: of it, in the first half, calling that wrong time

1502
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:07,280
Speaker 11: out the wrong time and says spiking the ball somewhere

1503
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 11: here and there and not getting nothing getting down that

1504
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:15,240
Speaker 11: losing that time out. Maybe got away with it now,

1505
01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:19,240
Speaker 11: But our opponents in the future, their coaches like Tomlin,

1506
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 11: they don't make those blunders as much sometimes as even

1507
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:26,280
Speaker 11: mcdermoan does. And those blunders, those time mad and blunders

1508
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:30,879
Speaker 11: or non blunders quad rupifying the playoffs, and that be horrible.

1509
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 11: If something happened they made the wrong time out the

1510
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:35,920
Speaker 11: wrong time and we got knocked out because of the

1511
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:37,880
Speaker 11: playoff because of something like that. I'm not saying it

1512
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:40,519
Speaker 11: don't happen with Pittsburgh whatever, And we got knocked out

1513
01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:42,280
Speaker 11: of the playoffs, not by a fumble or a pick

1514
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:45,720
Speaker 11: or whatever, but time man and blunder and have to

1515
01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:48,400
Speaker 11: live with that for the next seven months, you know,

1516
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:50,360
Speaker 11: one time in long time out.

1517
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:56,840
Speaker 6: Yeah right, Well, here's the thing. I'll say this. You're right,

1518
01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 6: he shows he showed great aggression and go forward on

1519
01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 6: the fourth downs, even the one last one who would

1520
01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:03,519
Speaker 6: have iced the game, they didn't get up by a

1521
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:05,479
Speaker 6: half yard. They still, you know, the defense shut it out.

1522
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:08,280
Speaker 6: I here's what I like about all the stuff that

1523
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:12,640
Speaker 6: he did. That you don't. I like a coach, and

1524
01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:15,479
Speaker 6: this is not something he's always done. I like a

1525
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:17,840
Speaker 6: coach who gives it to his players to win or lose.

1526
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 6: That's not what happened when in the thirteen second game,

1527
01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:27,080
Speaker 6: you know, they tried to out coach and play safe

1528
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:29,240
Speaker 6: and not give his players a chance to win it.

1529
01:21:29,320 --> 01:21:30,880
Speaker 6: They gave him a chance not you know what I mean.

1530
01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:32,799
Speaker 6: They backed clear off and they gave up the yardist.

1531
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:34,960
Speaker 6: They gave him the field goal in the thirteen second game.

1532
01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:37,920
Speaker 6: And now I'm saying, not saying it works every time,

1533
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:40,400
Speaker 6: but don't think it doesn't play really well in the

1534
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 6: locker room and the players don't notice the coach put

1535
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:46,439
Speaker 6: it on them. Listen, I trust you to go out

1536
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:48,479
Speaker 6: and play defense. I trust you to go out and

1537
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:51,080
Speaker 6: stick it in the end zone in the last couple

1538
01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:55,120
Speaker 6: of plays of the half we're gonna go. I think

1539
01:21:55,240 --> 01:21:58,880
Speaker 6: that plays extremely well. When the players go, hey, that

1540
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,960
Speaker 6: wasn't a coach he to do it, We gotta do it. Yeah.

1541
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 6: And I'll say this too, there should have been a

1542
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:06,240
Speaker 6: penalty called on the goal line play.

1543
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:09,439
Speaker 2: So Josh is under a blitz. He's got to get

1544
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:11,599
Speaker 2: rid of the ball and make a split second decision.

1545
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:15,640
Speaker 2: It's hard in that moment. I'm not trying to be

1546
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:18,439
Speaker 2: an apologist, but I'm just speaking facts here. It's hard

1547
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:21,599
Speaker 2: in that moment to make a call from twenty three

1548
01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:24,599
Speaker 2: yards away on whether to throw it to Ty Johnson

1549
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:27,639
Speaker 2: who is open making an incut and has a chance

1550
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:30,880
Speaker 2: to get over the goal line. But a targeting penalty

1551
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:33,320
Speaker 2: should have been called there. It should have been first

1552
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:38,640
Speaker 2: in goal at the one yard line, so you know

1553
01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 2: you can it's a valid point, Kevin. You could have

1554
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 2: held on to the timeout, spiked it and tried to

1555
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:48,160
Speaker 2: get down the field that way, save the timeout for

1556
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 2: that very instance where he gets stopped at the one

1557
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:52,880
Speaker 2: yard line. Penalty or not, and now you can call

1558
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:56,600
Speaker 2: your time out and you had two seconds left. You

1559
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:58,439
Speaker 2: either go for it to try to score from the

1560
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:00,559
Speaker 2: one inch line, which I think they would have done,

1561
01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:03,920
Speaker 2: or in a more conservative approach, kick the field goal

1562
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:07,400
Speaker 2: and get into the locker room with points. So yeah,

1563
01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:14,400
Speaker 2: it's valid. I think you can argue both ways because

1564
01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:17,559
Speaker 2: to Steve's point, you're there, You're at the goal line.

1565
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:20,439
Speaker 2: You don't want to rely on officials to call a

1566
01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:23,559
Speaker 2: penalty for you, but you're putting it in the hands

1567
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:25,400
Speaker 2: of your players, And I don't think the players will

1568
01:23:25,439 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 2: ever fault you for calling a timeout earlier rather than

1569
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,240
Speaker 2: later and saying, go get the touchdown for us.

1570
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:35,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I certainly there's a lot in it. And

1571
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:38,599
Speaker 6: when things don't work out, you think, and even when

1572
01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:42,200
Speaker 6: they do work out like they did yesterday, ultimately there's

1573
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:45,200
Speaker 6: always things that could have gone better. It's never as

1574
01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:46,839
Speaker 6: good as it looks, never as bad as it looks.

1575
01:23:46,680 --> 01:23:49,720
Speaker 6: It's a real true statement about what it's like to

1576
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 6: study these games on film. You're never as good as

1577
01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:55,240
Speaker 6: you think, you're never as dominant as you think, and

1578
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:58,240
Speaker 6: you're never as bad as it looks when you do

1579
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:01,840
Speaker 6: get pounded, and it comes down to study and stuff

1580
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:04,120
Speaker 6: like what we're talking about. Yeah, it could have gone

1581
01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 6: better for the Bills in certain situations. They could have

1582
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:10,000
Speaker 6: made better decisions. Josh could have taken a quick flat

1583
01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:12,280
Speaker 6: route on a play when they had had to punt

1584
01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:18,400
Speaker 6: it away. That's always there. But for the most part,

1585
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:20,439
Speaker 6: I don't want to. I don't want to go overboard

1586
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 6: and say, hey, everything's different now, because I don't know

1587
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:25,840
Speaker 6: if it is. But in these situations we've seen over

1588
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:29,320
Speaker 6: the last this this run Sean McDermott has consistently put

1589
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:31,040
Speaker 6: it in the hands of his players that fourth and

1590
01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 6: half a yard last night to get it that they

1591
01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:40,000
Speaker 6: didn't get was a Remember too, they tried to get

1592
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:43,160
Speaker 6: him to jump off sides. Remember, like we always see,

1593
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 6: they're not gonna do that. What are you doing there?

1594
01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:47,760
Speaker 6: You know, nobody ever goes for that. Well last night

1595
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:53,040
Speaker 6: they did and they snapped it. You know. There they

1596
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:55,760
Speaker 6: learn from this stuff. Sean McDermott has learned from it.

1597
01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:58,320
Speaker 6: And I have seen a couple of instances this year

1598
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:01,280
Speaker 6: where Sean McDermott's it seems to be doing some things,

1599
01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:03,680
Speaker 6: making some coaching decisions that I don't know that he

1600
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:07,200
Speaker 6: would have made four years ago, or before the thirteen

1601
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:10,720
Speaker 6: second game, you know, or since the thirteen second game.

1602
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:14,200
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you right now you can bank on this.

1603
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 2: As coach McDermott and his staff are reviewing the film

1604
01:25:18,400 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 2: of the game now and probably wrapping it up around

1605
01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 2: this time, I will bet you any amount of money

1606
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:30,240
Speaker 2: that he is reviewing his usage of the timeouts at

1607
01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 2: the end of the first half, second half and is

1608
01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:35,240
Speaker 2: going through it with a fine tooth comb, because that's

1609
01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:41,200
Speaker 2: who he is, and he doesn't just preach self improvement

1610
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:43,679
Speaker 2: every day to his players, just try to be one

1611
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:47,840
Speaker 2: percent better the next day. He practices that. So if

1612
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:51,360
Speaker 2: he feels and maybe even agrees with you, Kevin, he

1613
01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:54,680
Speaker 2: is going to take that, make a note of it,

1614
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 2: and be better the next time. That's just how he

1615
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:01,920
Speaker 2: operates and functions in his daily life and in his

1616
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 2: work life. So you better believe he's going to be

1617
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:08,320
Speaker 2: reviewing that, probably with a fine tooth comb to a

1618
01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:11,479
Speaker 2: greater degree than maybe even you did in reviewing it. Uh,

1619
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:14,760
Speaker 2: let's squeeze in a call here before the break, we

1620
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:16,800
Speaker 2: go to Ryan in Akron. What do you got for us?

1621
01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:17,080
Speaker 6: Ryan?

1622
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:19,160
Speaker 8: He was like, I don't see if he can get

1623
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:19,479
Speaker 8: me through.

1624
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:20,120
Speaker 2: Ryan.

1625
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:20,559
Speaker 6: You're up?

1626
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 8: Hey, Ryan, how you guys doing?

1627
01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:23,960
Speaker 6: Hey?

1628
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:25,720
Speaker 8: Hey guys, you got me flustered here?

1629
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:26,840
Speaker 2: That's okay, What do you got?

1630
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,160
Speaker 8: I just wanted to talk to you guys about James

1631
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:31,800
Speaker 8: Cook dropping wide open passes. I mean, I know you

1632
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:33,920
Speaker 8: can't be perfect, but it seems like it's been five

1633
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:36,760
Speaker 8: times this year he's been wide open going towards the

1634
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:39,840
Speaker 8: end zone, just completely missed the past. Yeah, he's his

1635
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:40,920
Speaker 8: eyes off too early.

1636
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:43,439
Speaker 6: It's been three I think it's been two or three

1637
01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 6: that he dropped one early on I don't know.

1638
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:47,280
Speaker 2: What it was against the Eagles, he.

1639
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:49,880
Speaker 6: Dropped that TD. He dropped the one last night in

1640
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:52,400
Speaker 6: Miami that would have been there, And there's been one

1641
01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 6: or two, and then there's been a one or two

1642
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:56,440
Speaker 6: he caught that didn't go for a touchdown.

1643
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 2: To one on the Cowboys a cow tvd uh.

1644
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:02,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm with you, and we have said it time

1645
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:04,080
Speaker 6: and time again. And one of the things about last night,

1646
01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:06,599
Speaker 6: Josh had eight incompletions. Nobody in the on the whole

1647
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:08,839
Speaker 6: team had more than one. And the one was the

1648
01:27:08,960 --> 01:27:10,880
Speaker 6: deep ball to Steph Diggs for him that was his

1649
01:27:10,920 --> 01:27:13,840
Speaker 6: incompletion was an overthrow and that was an overthrow by Josh.

1650
01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:18,640
Speaker 6: But yeah, it's a it's a thing. James Cook has

1651
01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:23,559
Speaker 6: dropped some touchdowns for himself last night, didn't go one

1652
01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:25,080
Speaker 6: noticed by me, and I know he probably didn't go

1653
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:29,000
Speaker 6: one noticed by Brownie as well. Yeah, it's all well

1654
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:31,240
Speaker 6: and good when you win the game, but that stuff adds.

1655
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:33,800
Speaker 2: Up, Yeah, and you want to execute and drops were

1656
01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:36,600
Speaker 2: a problem last week against the Patriots. They tried to

1657
01:27:36,600 --> 01:27:40,439
Speaker 2: focus on it. They were better yesterday collectively, but yeah,

1658
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:43,799
Speaker 2: your points. Valid facts are facts, drops or drops.

1659
01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 6: And here's the only.

1660
01:27:45,040 --> 01:27:47,000
Speaker 2: Thing that I thought about that play. In my angle

1661
01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:49,280
Speaker 2: wasn't great on it, so I could be completely off

1662
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:52,120
Speaker 2: the mark on this, but the trajectory of the pass

1663
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 2: to Cook with the defender and where he was positioned,

1664
01:27:57,280 --> 01:28:01,640
Speaker 2: it made me think did the ball disappear behind the

1665
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:04,920
Speaker 2: defender's helmet for a split second? And did he lose it.

1666
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,120
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to be an apologist for James Cook.

1667
01:28:07,160 --> 01:28:10,120
Speaker 2: I'm just openly wondering because I couldn't tell from my

1668
01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:11,240
Speaker 2: angle on the play.

1669
01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:14,360
Speaker 6: But here's the thing too, and last night will only

1670
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:17,120
Speaker 6: it's probably happened already, but last Night is gonna bring

1671
01:28:17,120 --> 01:28:19,519
Speaker 6: it up, and they're gonna when those guys sit down

1672
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:22,559
Speaker 6: and watch the film, all those other drops are gonna

1673
01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:26,800
Speaker 6: come up in that conversation. And he's like, man, I mean,

1674
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:27,800
Speaker 6: think about James Cook.

1675
01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:32,919
Speaker 2: He'd have like he'd have over sixteen handful yeah, scrimmage,

1676
01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:35,439
Speaker 2: he'd have a handful of more.

1677
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:38,320
Speaker 6: He'd have at least a couple more touchdowns in big moments.

1678
01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:41,400
Speaker 6: And think about where that would put James Cook in

1679
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:43,840
Speaker 6: the conversation with running backs this year, and how kind

1680
01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:47,320
Speaker 6: of seasons they had that he would elevate. He's sitting

1681
01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:50,280
Speaker 6: there thinking, man, what am I? He's the one that's

1682
01:28:50,280 --> 01:28:54,280
Speaker 6: gonna beat He's beating himself up. And the conversation his

1683
01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:58,519
Speaker 6: teammates too, Latavious Murray, Leonard Fournette, Ty John, They're all

1684
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:00,840
Speaker 6: in that conversation. Go bro, you gotta those, you know.

1685
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:04,720
Speaker 6: So don't think that goes unnoticed when he comes back

1686
01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:06,760

Speaker 21: Guys.

1756
01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:34,720
Speaker 2: That's okay, man, that's okay. It's okay. From knowing the

1757
01:32:34,760 --> 01:32:37,440
Speaker 2: emotion is strength in my opinion.

1758
01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:39,479
Speaker 6: I'll say this too. And I know there's some of

1759
01:32:39,479 --> 01:32:42,040
Speaker 6: that because fans do this, you know, fans kind of

1760
01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:45,600
Speaker 6: equate it to you know the history of the team

1761
01:32:45,800 --> 01:32:49,640
Speaker 6: and you know those old old guys like me, Jim Thurm,

1762
01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:51,680
Speaker 6: Bruce Andre, all the guys that you know went there

1763
01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:53,760
Speaker 6: were like twenty two guys on that team that went

1764
01:32:53,800 --> 01:32:56,040
Speaker 6: to all four. Yeah, but there was you know, you know,

1765
01:32:56,080 --> 01:32:58,120
Speaker 6: one hundred who went to at least one of them

1766
01:32:58,200 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 6: with the team and a bunch of coaches and all that.

1767
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:05,000
Speaker 6: You know, they don't I appreciate it, but they don't

1768
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:08,240
Speaker 6: know us anything. We're in but and don't make any mistake.

1769
01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:10,439
Speaker 6: We are all behind them, all the old guys, all

1770
01:33:10,479 --> 01:33:13,439
Speaker 6: the you know, the old players that all the drought players,

1771
01:33:13,479 --> 01:33:15,880
Speaker 6: and they're all in it with this team. They all

1772
01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:17,719
Speaker 6: want it for them, they all want it for the fans.

1773
01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:23,439
Speaker 6: But these players on this team, you know, they're the

1774
01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:25,439
Speaker 6: ones that earn it. They get it for themselves. It's

1775
01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:29,519
Speaker 6: their lives, it's their careers, it's their team. We're happy

1776
01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:33,000
Speaker 6: to ride along with them, and we are all about it,

1777
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:37,040
Speaker 6: but it's for them, not it's it's for all of

1778
01:33:37,120 --> 01:33:39,040
Speaker 6: the the Bills fans are part of it, but it's

1779
01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:40,760
Speaker 6: for those guys in that locker room and for the

1780
01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:43,240
Speaker 6: pain and the suffering and the sacrifices they all made

1781
01:33:43,240 --> 01:33:43,960
Speaker 6: in their own lives.

1782
01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:47,400
Speaker 2: And you can see it on Buffalo Bills dot com.

1783
01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:49,519
Speaker 2: In case you didn't catch it on social last night,

1784
01:33:49,560 --> 01:33:53,639
Speaker 2: our outstanding video team was obviously in the locker room

1785
01:33:53,760 --> 01:33:56,120
Speaker 2: last night catching most of the celebration. And then when

1786
01:33:56,200 --> 01:33:59,800
Speaker 2: Josh broke them down, he said, I'm never gonna say

1787
01:33:59,840 --> 01:34:02,320
Speaker 2: no to this shirt and this hat, meaning the division

1788
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:05,960
Speaker 2: championship shirts and hats. He said, But that's just job one.

1789
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:08,680
Speaker 2: So we got another job to take care of and

1790
01:34:08,720 --> 01:34:11,200
Speaker 2: it starts with the first game, which is this Sunday

1791
01:34:11,200 --> 01:34:15,320
Speaker 2: at one. But he said, super Bowl, So you don't

1792
01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:18,600
Speaker 2: have to remind Josh of what they're gunning for. He

1793
01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:22,080
Speaker 2: is all too aware, all too aware. Gotta take a

1794
01:34:22,120 --> 01:34:24,760
Speaker 2: break here though. Our number three will begin with my

1795
01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:28,000
Speaker 2: broadcast partner, Eric Wood, who joins us every Monday. He

1796
01:34:28,040 --> 01:34:30,680
Speaker 2: will do that as we begin our number three, to

1797
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:35,559
Speaker 2: give us his thoughts on a magical night in Miami Gardens, Florida,

1798
01:34:35,600 --> 01:34:38,760
Speaker 2: where the Bills nip the Dolphins at the wire and

1799
01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:42,800
Speaker 2: take their fourth straight division title last night, Eric Wood,

1800
01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:44,519
Speaker 2: come on your way next. Here on One Bill's Live

Speaker 2: presented by Colida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1802
01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:34,599
Speaker 1: This One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health.

1803
01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:38,719
Speaker 2: Here we are our number three on a Buffalo victory Monday,

1804
01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:41,679
Speaker 2: as the Bills are playoff bound as the number two

1805
01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:45,360
Speaker 2: seed in the AFC. They'll be hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers

1806
01:35:45,400 --> 01:35:49,040
Speaker 2: one pm on Sunday at High March Stadium, and here

1807
01:35:49,040 --> 01:35:52,680
Speaker 2: to join us to talk about Buffalo nipping the Dolphins

1808
01:35:52,720 --> 01:35:55,200
Speaker 2: at the end of the season for the division title.

1809
01:35:55,640 --> 01:35:58,559
Speaker 2: Is my broadcast partner, Eric Wood, former Bill Center and

1810
01:35:58,600 --> 01:36:02,479
Speaker 2: host of the Centered on Buffalo podcast. All Right, Eric,

1811
01:36:02,520 --> 01:36:06,400
Speaker 2: you've had an overnight to sleep on it. Maybe your

1812
01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:09,559
Speaker 2: biggest takeaway from the performance yesterday to win the division.

1813
01:36:11,200 --> 01:36:13,879
Speaker 23: I feel like it's almost a dichotomy of this season,

1814
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:17,439
Speaker 23: full of ups and downs, that ends up with a

1815
01:36:17,479 --> 01:36:21,479
Speaker 23: great result to end up as the AFC East chance

1816
01:36:21,600 --> 01:36:24,720
Speaker 23: after this roller coaster of a season, and yesterday was

1817
01:36:24,720 --> 01:36:26,960
Speaker 23: a roller coaster of a game. And I'll say the

1818
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:29,639
Speaker 23: amount of growth that we've seen from this team, especially

1819
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:33,000
Speaker 23: in these last three weeks, getting a couple ugly wins

1820
01:36:33,040 --> 01:36:35,080
Speaker 23: these last couple weeks, which they were losing those early

1821
01:36:35,120 --> 01:36:37,920
Speaker 23: in the season, and then it just seemed like nothing

1822
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:40,320
Speaker 23: was going their way. And Chris, I hate to admit it,

1823
01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:42,920
Speaker 23: but we were talking during one of the TV timeouts

1824
01:36:42,920 --> 01:36:45,920
Speaker 23: in the third quarter that it just feels like this

1825
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:48,680
Speaker 23: is a Bill's lost coming. We've seen this before and

1826
01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:50,720
Speaker 23: it just doesn't seem like today's gonna be the other day.

1827
01:36:50,720 --> 01:36:53,840
Speaker 23: There's been too many turnovers, they can't get the ball

1828
01:36:53,840 --> 01:36:56,960
Speaker 23: in the end zone. They're not you know, scoring touchdowns

1829
01:36:57,000 --> 01:36:58,720
Speaker 23: in the red zone. They get stopped right before the

1830
01:36:58,800 --> 01:37:00,639
Speaker 23: end of the half, and look, you know, you had

1831
01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:02,600
Speaker 23: your opportunity to probably go up a couple scores and

1832
01:37:02,600 --> 01:37:06,000
Speaker 23: you blew it. But instead, this group that has just

1833
01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:08,720
Speaker 23: found a tremendous amount of resiliency as soon as their

1834
01:37:08,760 --> 01:37:11,639
Speaker 23: backs were completely against the wall at six and six,

1835
01:37:12,080 --> 01:37:15,240
Speaker 23: has come together. And you know, each week it's been

1836
01:37:15,680 --> 01:37:18,080
Speaker 23: different people stepping up, different sides of.

1837
01:37:18,040 --> 01:37:19,519
Speaker 4: The ball stepping up.

1838
01:37:19,800 --> 01:37:22,080
Speaker 23: Yesterday it's the special teams, which has been I don't

1839
01:37:22,120 --> 01:37:24,920
Speaker 23: want to say a weakness for a lot of this season,

1840
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:27,840
Speaker 23: but definitely not a true strength in the return game,

1841
01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:31,160
Speaker 23: the punk game, whatever it may be. And so yesterday

1842
01:37:31,280 --> 01:37:35,000
Speaker 23: Deontay Hardy he gives them that spark in the second

1843
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:38,280
Speaker 23: half to tie the game up at fourteen. But to me,

1844
01:37:38,680 --> 01:37:41,960
Speaker 23: there's a ton of positives that we can get into

1845
01:37:42,240 --> 01:37:44,160
Speaker 23: coming from this game. But when you look at the

1846
01:37:44,160 --> 01:37:46,400
Speaker 23: way the defense played in the second half, I mean

1847
01:37:46,720 --> 01:37:49,680
Speaker 23: it was hard. I felt bad for you, Chris on

1848
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:52,519
Speaker 23: the call, trying to do play by player that Miami

1849
01:37:52,600 --> 01:37:56,320
Speaker 23: offense at times because there was so much motion and misdirection,

1850
01:37:56,439 --> 01:37:58,760
Speaker 23: especially in the backfield. It was hard to tell who

1851
01:37:58,760 --> 01:38:01,200
Speaker 23: even had the ball much less if you're playing five

1852
01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:03,439
Speaker 23: yards off the ball as a linebacker and you have

1853
01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:06,519
Speaker 23: someone as fast as Dave Devin h and you know,

1854
01:38:06,680 --> 01:38:09,680
Speaker 23: running right past you. And so the way they adjusted

1855
01:38:09,680 --> 01:38:12,160
Speaker 23: in the second half, Mike McDaniel after the game said, look,

1856
01:38:12,320 --> 01:38:15,120
Speaker 23: they played more single high than we're used to seeing

1857
01:38:15,160 --> 01:38:17,360
Speaker 23: people respect our speed so much a lot of times

1858
01:38:17,360 --> 01:38:19,920
Speaker 23: you will like to keep those safeties back. Well, they

1859
01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:21,479
Speaker 23: give up over one hundred yards on the ground in

1860
01:38:21,520 --> 01:38:23,320
Speaker 23: the first half, and they only give up seven in

1861
01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:28,960
Speaker 23: the second half because they completely attacked that Dolphins run game.

1862
01:38:28,960 --> 01:38:30,720
Speaker 23: I thought that was a phenomenal adjustment.

1863
01:38:30,920 --> 01:38:33,160
Speaker 6: That does seem like the kind of theme around this

1864
01:38:33,320 --> 01:38:36,080
Speaker 6: game and this win is that so many guys came

1865
01:38:36,080 --> 01:38:39,680
Speaker 6: off the bench, you know, everybody from Ryan Vandermark to

1866
01:38:39,920 --> 01:38:43,360
Speaker 6: Baal and Spector to and everybody in between. And plus

1867
01:38:43,400 --> 01:38:45,559
Speaker 6: you got guys like Hardy who's been up and active

1868
01:38:45,600 --> 01:38:49,840
Speaker 6: and making plays for the club as well. It just

1869
01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:52,720
Speaker 6: seem like all fifty three guys, you know, we're kind

1870
01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:55,040
Speaker 6: of in this win, which is kind of where you

1871
01:38:55,040 --> 01:38:56,360
Speaker 6: want to be headed in the playoffs. I don't know

1872
01:38:56,400 --> 01:38:59,880
Speaker 6: how much you can transpose going forward, but certainly. We

1873
01:39:00,040 --> 01:39:02,680
Speaker 6: talked about it even coming into the Miami game. This

1874
01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:04,920
Speaker 6: is a team that has won in different ways throughout

1875
01:39:04,920 --> 01:39:07,200
Speaker 6: this little streak they've been on these last five games,

1876
01:39:07,200 --> 01:39:09,519
Speaker 6: They've they've won with a running game against Dallas, They've

1877
01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:12,840
Speaker 6: thrown it, They've done it with turnovers, with defense. How

1878
01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:16,120
Speaker 6: much can you you know, now, what does that? How

1879
01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:18,519
Speaker 6: does that change the view of this Bills team going

1880
01:39:18,560 --> 01:39:20,960
Speaker 6: into the playoffs now that you've had this little streak.

1881
01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:24,240
Speaker 6: Certainly they haven't been massive blowouts, although the Dallas game

1882
01:39:24,280 --> 01:39:27,240
Speaker 6: stands out. They just you know, kind of been finding

1883
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:28,679
Speaker 6: different ways to get it done.

1884
01:39:30,520 --> 01:39:32,679
Speaker 23: Yeah, well, they might be the hottest team in football

1885
01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:35,200
Speaker 23: right now. They have multiple ways that they could win,

1886
01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:40,000
Speaker 23: and they sustained that rash of injuries kind of middle

1887
01:39:40,040 --> 01:39:42,600
Speaker 23: part of the season, maybe just you know, before the

1888
01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:45,400
Speaker 23: middle part of the season. They sustained those injuries, especially

1889
01:39:45,400 --> 01:39:47,679
Speaker 23: on the defensive side of the football. And they've built

1890
01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:50,599
Speaker 23: tremendous depth through the draft over the years, through free agency,

1891
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:52,439
Speaker 23: and look, they didn't have a ton of money to

1892
01:39:52,439 --> 01:39:54,559
Speaker 23: spend in free agency last year, so you go in,

1893
01:39:54,840 --> 01:39:57,200
Speaker 23: you bring in an excellent guard and Connor McGovern, who's

1894
01:39:57,200 --> 01:40:00,800
Speaker 23: been steady all year. Tailor Rap especially because of Matt

1895
01:40:00,840 --> 01:40:03,320
Speaker 23: Malona going out, has had to play a major role

1896
01:40:03,479 --> 01:40:06,360
Speaker 23: on this defense throughout the season in the dime package.

1897
01:40:06,400 --> 01:40:07,439
Speaker 4: Well, then he gains all.

1898
01:40:07,360 --> 01:40:10,120
Speaker 23: That experience and he's the one that makes back the

1899
01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:11,680
Speaker 23: back plays at the end of the game with the

1900
01:40:11,680 --> 01:40:15,439
Speaker 23: past deflection and then the interception. You've had guys like

1901
01:40:15,520 --> 01:40:18,880
Speaker 23: Shaqiir that has gotten valuable experience this year, and he's

1902
01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:21,400
Speaker 23: able to step in when and take some of Gabe

1903
01:40:21,439 --> 01:40:25,640
Speaker 23: Davis's share of the catches. A Trent Sherfield, who you

1904
01:40:25,680 --> 01:40:28,960
Speaker 23: pick up in free agency last year. He steps up

1905
01:40:28,960 --> 01:40:32,240
Speaker 23: in the game yesterday against his former team Ryan van Derbark,

1906
01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:34,680
Speaker 23: who they've been grooming. He's able to come in for

1907
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:38,439
Speaker 23: a series on the game winning drive that puts him

1908
01:40:38,439 --> 01:40:39,439
Speaker 23: ahead in the game.

1909
01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:40,240
Speaker 4: Po to Ford.

1910
01:40:40,680 --> 01:40:43,840
Speaker 23: He gets the block on the punt return, the final

1911
01:40:43,880 --> 01:40:44,519
Speaker 23: one on the punter.

1912
01:40:44,560 --> 01:40:45,679
Speaker 4: I didn't like the punter's chances.

1913
01:40:45,680 --> 01:40:48,120
Speaker 23: I didn't like Bailey's chances of bringing down Hardy anyways,

1914
01:40:48,160 --> 01:40:51,040
Speaker 23: but Hoon Forward makes a block on him, which at

1915
01:40:51,080 --> 01:40:53,960
Speaker 23: the time all I was thinking was don't cutch him

1916
01:40:54,360 --> 01:40:57,920
Speaker 23: like just getting his way, because don't get an unnecessary

1917
01:40:58,160 --> 01:41:00,960
Speaker 23: penalty in this instance. You know, trying to give a

1918
01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:03,519
Speaker 23: big shot on the punter, but you know, and we

1919
01:41:03,560 --> 01:41:06,519
Speaker 23: could keep running through it, but BAlN Specter steps in.

1920
01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:08,720
Speaker 23: You have a guy like Dan Jackson who's able to

1921
01:41:08,720 --> 01:41:12,240
Speaker 23: fill in for Rasul Douglas, and Dan Jackson's got tremendous experience.

1922
01:41:12,720 --> 01:41:15,439
Speaker 23: And look this roster that Sean and Brandon have built,

1923
01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:18,640
Speaker 23: it's it's showing.

1924
01:41:18,320 --> 01:41:21,320
Speaker 4: Its value right now in the way that they're able.

1925
01:41:21,080 --> 01:41:24,200
Speaker 23: To sustain injuries throughout the season and that even now

1926
01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:26,000
Speaker 23: when they come in bunches during a game.

1927
01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:31,200
Speaker 2: So knowing I don't know, this iteration, this playoff iteration

1928
01:41:31,360 --> 01:41:34,639
Speaker 2: of this Bills team eric is far different from the one.

1929
01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:37,599
Speaker 2: You know, we saw in twenty twenty or twenty twenty one,

1930
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:41,320
Speaker 2: where there was an outright juggernaut offense that was among

1931
01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:43,600
Speaker 2: the best in football, and it was like, try to

1932
01:41:43,640 --> 01:41:46,840
Speaker 2: stop us. Now, this seems like a team that is

1933
01:41:46,880 --> 01:41:50,320
Speaker 2: more of a Swiss Army knife. They can win with

1934
01:41:50,479 --> 01:41:54,200
Speaker 2: defense and close out games. They can win with offense

1935
01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:57,200
Speaker 2: different styles. They can run the ball down your throat

1936
01:41:57,200 --> 01:42:00,439
Speaker 2: if you give them the opportunity, and they can deliver

1937
01:42:00,560 --> 01:42:03,280
Speaker 2: big plays like they did last night. Five of their

1938
01:42:03,320 --> 01:42:07,040
Speaker 2: biggest plays from scrimmage were all longer than any of

1939
01:42:07,080 --> 01:42:11,120
Speaker 2: the Dolphins big plays. And that's the number one passing

1940
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:13,680
Speaker 2: team in football that you did that too. When you

1941
01:42:13,920 --> 01:42:17,960
Speaker 2: have these diversified means by which you can win a

1942
01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:20,759
Speaker 2: football game, what does that do for a team's mental

1943
01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:22,760
Speaker 2: resolve in the playoffs?

1944
01:42:24,360 --> 01:42:27,120
Speaker 23: Yeah, your biggest fear heading into the playoffs, especially as

1945
01:42:27,120 --> 01:42:29,360
Speaker 23: hot as the Bills are right now, and you certainly

1946
01:42:29,439 --> 01:42:30,960
Speaker 23: feel like they have as good of a shot to

1947
01:42:30,960 --> 01:42:31,599
Speaker 23: win the Super.

1948
01:42:31,400 --> 01:42:32,280
Speaker 4: Bowl as anybody.

1949
01:42:32,479 --> 01:42:34,880
Speaker 23: Your fear would be if all of our eggs are

1950
01:42:34,880 --> 01:42:37,679
Speaker 23: in one basket. Let's say all all of our eggs

1951
01:42:37,760 --> 01:42:40,040
Speaker 23: are in on the passing game and we catch some

1952
01:42:40,200 --> 01:42:44,479
Speaker 23: terrible weather or the pass protection or Josh doesn't have

1953
01:42:44,520 --> 01:42:47,680
Speaker 23: his best game, Well, now you're eliminated. Well now, if

1954
01:42:47,680 --> 01:42:51,160
Speaker 23: the run game's not there, maybe if the passing game's

1955
01:42:51,200 --> 01:42:53,920
Speaker 23: not there, well, this defense has been playing enough well

1956
01:42:54,040 --> 01:42:56,439
Speaker 23: enough they could potentially bail you out. And you can

1957
01:42:56,520 --> 01:42:59,640
Speaker 23: win in multiple different areas. And it's not even just

1958
01:42:59,720 --> 01:43:03,800
Speaker 23: one guy either. It's not Hey, if Diggs doesn't show up,

1959
01:43:03,840 --> 01:43:06,679
Speaker 23: we really aren't gonna have any offensive production. We've seen

1960
01:43:07,360 --> 01:43:10,639
Speaker 23: many weeks where it's been different guys stepping up.

1961
01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:13,439
Speaker 4: And not just him at the skill positions. And I'll

1962
01:43:13,439 --> 01:43:14,000
Speaker 4: tell you.

1963
01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:15,680
Speaker 23: You know, they have all those big plays yesterday and

1964
01:43:15,760 --> 01:43:18,760
Speaker 23: Josh just barely overthrows Diggs on that deep ball and

1965
01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:21,080
Speaker 23: that's three weeks and I mean the law of averages

1966
01:43:21,120 --> 01:43:23,960
Speaker 23: say that he's probably gonna hit one of those here

1967
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:27,040
Speaker 23: coming up. And I love that play de is on.

1968
01:43:28,040 --> 01:43:33,360
Speaker 23: It's it's you know, formational tendencies. I'm assuming told Ramsey, Okay,

1969
01:43:33,360 --> 01:43:34,519
Speaker 23: this is probably gonna be.

1970
01:43:34,439 --> 01:43:36,639
Speaker 4: A comeback or something shorter.

1971
01:43:37,200 --> 01:43:40,600
Speaker 23: And then Ramsey's also very aggressive, similar to how I

1972
01:43:40,640 --> 01:43:43,360
Speaker 23: talk about Rasul Douglas, and he's willing to take chances,

1973
01:43:43,720 --> 01:43:46,920
Speaker 23: and that's that's Jalen Ramsey. So Stefan Diggs hits him

1974
01:43:46,920 --> 01:43:49,080
Speaker 23: with a little stutter and takes the top off the

1975
01:43:49,080 --> 01:43:53,240
Speaker 23: defense and I love that shot in the moment as well.

1976
01:43:53,600 --> 01:43:57,000
Speaker 23: And so look, I mean this, this offense has shown

1977
01:43:57,000 --> 01:44:00,320
Speaker 23: incredible balance, especially since Joe Brady has taken over, and

1978
01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:01,200
Speaker 23: it's been fun to watch.

1979
01:44:01,520 --> 01:44:04,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, the interesting part about all these different facets of

1980
01:44:04,320 --> 01:44:07,799
Speaker 6: the Bills team being highlighted in different wins in different ways,

1981
01:44:08,640 --> 01:44:10,920
Speaker 6: and when you get in the playoffs, it's also about

1982
01:44:11,520 --> 01:44:14,200
Speaker 6: exploiting the weakness of your opponent. Now, all these teams

1983
01:44:14,240 --> 01:44:17,040
Speaker 6: in the playoffs are gonna have fewer and fewer weaknesses

1984
01:44:17,040 --> 01:44:20,160
Speaker 6: and bigger and bigger strengths. But the ability to take

1985
01:44:20,200 --> 01:44:25,599
Speaker 6: advantage of an opponent's deficiencies is really what the playoffs

1986
01:44:25,600 --> 01:44:28,120
Speaker 6: are all about. You've got to be good enough defensively

1987
01:44:28,120 --> 01:44:30,680
Speaker 6: in the back end to take advantage, or in the

1988
01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:32,600
Speaker 6: front end to take advantage, and your run game to

1989
01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:35,240
Speaker 6: take advantage, and your passing game to take advantage that

1990
01:44:35,320 --> 01:44:38,320
Speaker 6: in man demand cover all of that stuff. And it

1991
01:44:38,360 --> 01:44:42,120
Speaker 6: seems to me the Bills have proven they've got the

1992
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:46,320
Speaker 6: ability and all of those facets to flex if it

1993
01:44:46,360 --> 01:44:46,880
Speaker 6: comes to that.

1994
01:44:48,880 --> 01:44:51,880
Speaker 23: Yeah, that's extremely well said Steve, and they have shown that.

1995
01:44:52,160 --> 01:44:54,400
Speaker 23: And then flipping over to the defensive side of the football,

1996
01:44:54,760 --> 01:44:57,599
Speaker 23: especially with injuries, when you look at maybe some of

1997
01:44:57,640 --> 01:45:01,960
Speaker 23: the weaknesses that other teams may take advantage of, or

1998
01:45:02,160 --> 01:45:05,800
Speaker 23: maybe where the Bills don't have strength, give Sean McDermott

1999
01:45:06,120 --> 01:45:09,880
Speaker 23: immense amount of credit for really getting more creative schematically

2000
01:45:09,920 --> 01:45:11,559
Speaker 23: on the defensive side of the football than I've ever

2001
01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:14,520
Speaker 23: seen it, be throughout his career going back to Carolina

2002
01:45:14,680 --> 01:45:17,200
Speaker 23: or throughout his tenure with the Bills, getting into more

2003
01:45:17,240 --> 01:45:22,880
Speaker 23: dime packages, creating more four man rushes, but not necessarily

2004
01:45:23,880 --> 01:45:26,720
Speaker 23: the down four guys. We've seen at times three d

2005
01:45:26,840 --> 01:45:29,080
Speaker 23: linemen on the field and put a.

2006
01:45:29,040 --> 01:45:31,479
Speaker 4: Linebacker the line of scrimmage to spy a quarterback.

2007
01:45:31,520 --> 01:45:34,320
Speaker 23: He's gotten very creative this year, where Okay, you don't

2008
01:45:34,320 --> 01:45:37,200
Speaker 23: necessarily have your Hall of Fame pass rusher Von Miller

2009
01:45:37,240 --> 01:45:39,040
Speaker 23: at his top to run that edge.

2010
01:45:39,080 --> 01:45:40,760
Speaker 4: Okay, so how can we get more creative with our

2011
01:45:40,800 --> 01:45:41,400
Speaker 4: pass rush?

2012
01:45:41,520 --> 01:45:44,000
Speaker 23: Okay, Dodson has played extremely well in the run game,

2013
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:45,960
Speaker 23: but teams may attack him in the pass game. Okay,

2014
01:45:46,040 --> 01:45:48,599
Speaker 23: let's put Jordan Poyer there and bring Taylor Rapp into

2015
01:45:48,640 --> 01:45:51,760
Speaker 23: the game. And it's been I mean, to me, it's

2016
01:45:51,800 --> 01:45:54,640
Speaker 23: been as impressive as anything with this Bills team. Is

2017
01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:57,320
Speaker 23: the way Sean McDermott has taken this defense and has

2018
01:45:57,360 --> 01:45:58,400
Speaker 23: them at playing at.

2019
01:45:58,360 --> 01:46:01,120
Speaker 4: Such a high level. Again, that's a great competition.

2020
01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:03,800
Speaker 23: You know, you look at Dallas and Kansas City and

2021
01:46:03,880 --> 01:46:06,800
Speaker 23: Miami and no one gets over twenty points. I mean,

2022
01:46:07,400 --> 01:46:09,439
Speaker 23: that's a tremendous job by that defense.

2023
01:46:09,640 --> 01:46:11,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question about it. They're probably playing the most

2024
01:46:11,880 --> 01:46:15,479
Speaker 2: consistent ball of the entire football team. Last one I've

2025
01:46:15,520 --> 01:46:17,880
Speaker 2: got for you Eric, let's spin it forward a little bit.

2026
01:46:18,160 --> 01:46:20,439
Speaker 2: You made a note of this on the broadcast last night.

2027
01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:23,559
Speaker 2: There was a high run percentage on first down by

2028
01:46:23,600 --> 01:46:28,679
Speaker 2: the Bills offense yesterday. Is there an ability now going

2029
01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:32,639
Speaker 2: forward to maybe play off that tendency, whether it's play

2030
01:46:32,680 --> 01:46:36,280
Speaker 2: action or RPOs or what have you. Knowing that they

2031
01:46:36,280 --> 01:46:38,799
Speaker 2: were so heavy on the one side of that ledger

2032
01:46:39,160 --> 01:46:40,160
Speaker 2: on Sunday night.

2033
01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:45,360
Speaker 23: Absolutely, And look, I get it, you want to be

2034
01:46:45,439 --> 01:46:48,719
Speaker 23: as balanced as possible. Early in the game on many

2035
01:46:48,720 --> 01:46:51,160
Speaker 23: first downs, they were kind of taking that quick shot

2036
01:46:51,240 --> 01:46:52,080
Speaker 23: to Diggs.

2037
01:46:52,040 --> 01:46:52,240
Speaker 24: You know.

2038
01:46:52,600 --> 01:46:54,840
Speaker 23: And you made a great point on that, Chris, that

2039
01:46:54,920 --> 01:46:58,040
Speaker 23: they were, you know, attacking that linebacker level. And if

2040
01:46:58,040 --> 01:47:00,519
Speaker 23: you're not gonna have Baker in there, well, there there's

2041
01:47:00,560 --> 01:47:02,759
Speaker 23: the weakness we're gonna exploit if you're in zone defense.

2042
01:47:02,840 --> 01:47:05,640
Speaker 4: Okay, here's Digs in the slot. He's going right at him.

2043
01:47:05,680 --> 01:47:08,479
Speaker 23: And so you know they were doing that early and

2044
01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:11,280
Speaker 23: then in the second half really sticking to that ground

2045
01:47:11,360 --> 01:47:15,000
Speaker 23: game on first down. And look, it's it's great when

2046
01:47:15,240 --> 01:47:17,840
Speaker 23: James Cook on the season average is almost five yards

2047
01:47:17,840 --> 01:47:19,639
Speaker 23: of carry. So you hand it off to him, you think, okay,

2048
01:47:19,960 --> 01:47:22,360
Speaker 23: we're in nowt at second and five. You know, we're

2049
01:47:22,360 --> 01:47:25,080
Speaker 23: in a great position. The whole playbook's open, but when

2050
01:47:25,120 --> 01:47:28,720
Speaker 23: it wasn't there on the ground, and whether that's from

2051
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:33,240
Speaker 23: the running backs maybe missing a hole or predictability, I

2052
01:47:33,240 --> 01:47:35,679
Speaker 23: think you make a great point that you could play

2053
01:47:35,680 --> 01:47:38,000
Speaker 23: off of that now in the play action percentage could

2054
01:47:38,080 --> 01:47:41,040
Speaker 23: ramp up, especially if the weather allows for it to

2055
01:47:41,200 --> 01:47:41,759
Speaker 23: this Sunday.

2056
01:47:42,400 --> 01:47:44,920
Speaker 6: Good stuff, Eric's great. I'm glad you traveled home, saver.

2057
01:47:45,080 --> 01:47:47,120
Speaker 6: I guess you're still traveling or what's the deal? Are

2058
01:47:47,120 --> 01:47:49,479
Speaker 6: you still staying down there to play golf? What's the story?

2059
01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:51,040
Speaker 12: Oh?

2060
01:47:51,240 --> 01:47:54,759
Speaker 4: No, I got back this morning. We had a funeral.

2061
01:47:54,880 --> 01:47:58,639
Speaker 23: My wife attended a funeral this morning, so I met

2062
01:47:58,680 --> 01:48:03,639
Speaker 23: them at the celebration. So on my way, uh parked

2063
01:48:03,640 --> 01:48:06,439
Speaker 23: outside of there, and I'm the way to go pick

2064
01:48:06,479 --> 01:48:09,519
Speaker 23: up my son from school so she can stay at

2065
01:48:09,520 --> 01:48:10,120
Speaker 23: the celebration.

2066
01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:12,200
Speaker 2: All right, all right, sounds good. Eric. We'll catch up

2067
01:48:12,200 --> 01:48:13,400
Speaker 2: with you on Sunday. Thanks for the time.

2068
01:48:13,439 --> 01:48:14,639
Speaker 6: We'll see you up here in Buffalo.

2069
01:48:15,960 --> 01:48:17,160
Speaker 4: Yep, looking forward to you guys.

2070
01:48:17,200 --> 01:48:19,160
Speaker 2: All right, that's Eric Wood joining us as he does

2071
01:48:19,200 --> 01:48:22,280
Speaker 2: every Monday after Bill's games to break it down. And

2072
01:48:23,439 --> 01:48:27,479
Speaker 2: here's a number for you. Since week ten, the Bills

2073
01:48:27,520 --> 01:48:32,240
Speaker 2: have averaged thirty four point eight carries per game. It

2074
01:48:32,479 --> 01:48:37,599
Speaker 2: leads the league. Last night thirty six, so that average

2075
01:48:37,760 --> 01:48:38,800
Speaker 2: may even go up a tick.

2076
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:43,439
Speaker 6: Thirty six runs, forty or thirty eight passes and three sacks.

2077
01:48:44,600 --> 01:48:46,280
Speaker 6: Now some of them, some of the runs were obviously

2078
01:48:46,320 --> 01:48:49,400
Speaker 6: scrambled by Josh, so they are still tilted towards the throw,

2079
01:48:49,439 --> 01:48:52,160
Speaker 6: which you got to be in the NFL. But thirty

2080
01:48:52,160 --> 01:48:55,680
Speaker 6: six carries, fifteen of them by Josh, and you know

2081
01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:57,360
Speaker 6: a lot of them were the you know, the tush

2082
01:48:57,400 --> 01:49:00,280
Speaker 6: push and the and the you know, the toboggan or

2083
01:49:00,280 --> 01:49:05,080
Speaker 6: whatever you want to snowplow the snowplow. I love the

2084
01:49:05,200 --> 01:49:09,040
Speaker 6: fact last night that got into the shotgun on a

2085
01:49:09,080 --> 01:49:14,680
Speaker 6: short yardage and Josh just tucked and ran right up

2086
01:49:14,960 --> 01:49:18,200
Speaker 6: the back of Mitch Morris for a one yard spread

2087
01:49:18,240 --> 01:49:20,320
Speaker 6: him out and then probably just hammered it.

2088
01:49:20,479 --> 01:49:20,599
Speaker 2: Uh.

2089
01:49:21,560 --> 01:49:26,400
Speaker 6: I loved it. It. It's I like Joe Brady where

2090
01:49:26,400 --> 01:49:28,759
Speaker 6: he's at night. That last night was a really nice game.

2091
01:49:29,439 --> 01:49:32,200
Speaker 6: You think about think about it, what we'd be thinking

2092
01:49:32,200 --> 01:49:34,840
Speaker 6: about Joe Brady if Josh hits Diggs on the deep

2093
01:49:34,920 --> 01:49:39,639
Speaker 6: route and touchdown, and if James Cook catches the corner.

2094
01:49:40,800 --> 01:49:43,760
Speaker 6: I mean, it's a lot of different game. And Joe

2095
01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:45,960
Speaker 6: Brady's looking We're looking at him like going, wow, this

2096
01:49:46,040 --> 01:49:48,439
Speaker 6: guy's awesome. Well he does. He can't catch and throw,

2097
01:49:48,479 --> 01:49:50,120
Speaker 6: but he called those plays and drew him up and

2098
01:49:50,160 --> 01:49:55,440
Speaker 6: they were money. So feel good about where they're at

2099
01:49:55,600 --> 01:49:58,759
Speaker 6: and how things might unfold in the playoffs. We'll see.

2100
01:49:59,120 --> 01:50:00,760
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the owns at eight h three

2101
01:50:00,840 --> 01:50:03,439
Speaker 2: zero five fifty one eight eight five fifty two five

2102
01:50:03,520 --> 01:50:05,160
Speaker 2: fifty the number to get on board as we are

2103
01:50:05,200 --> 01:50:08,400
Speaker 2: asking you for your biggest takeaways from last night's division

2104
01:50:08,479 --> 01:50:13,080
Speaker 2: clinching win and number two seed playoff awarded victory over

2105
01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:16,840
Speaker 2: the Dolphins, and we go to Tom in Lakawana X.

2106
01:50:16,840 --> 01:50:18,160
Speaker 2: What do you got for us? Tom?

2107
01:50:18,920 --> 01:50:22,320
Speaker 25: Hey, guys, you just were talking to E about some

2108
01:50:22,439 --> 01:50:27,360
Speaker 25: of the one point I was bringing up. But I understand,

2109
01:50:28,439 --> 01:50:31,400
Speaker 25: you know, developed the running game. But through the whole

2110
01:50:31,400 --> 01:50:34,519
Speaker 25: third quarter, and it seemed until they returned the punt

2111
01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:37,600
Speaker 25: and actually got right back in the game, it was

2112
01:50:37,720 --> 01:50:41,120
Speaker 25: like insanity. You keep trying something and it's not working.

2113
01:50:41,200 --> 01:50:43,719
Speaker 25: Every first down was a run, a run, a run,

2114
01:50:43,840 --> 01:50:45,960
Speaker 25: which was limiting them. They were picking it up on

2115
01:50:46,080 --> 01:50:50,320
Speaker 25: second and third down, but Miami had it diagnosed. They

2116
01:50:50,320 --> 01:50:53,160
Speaker 25: were there, gain of one, gain of two, loss of three.

2117
01:50:53,840 --> 01:50:56,120
Speaker 25: I'm glad that Brady woke up and didn't pull a

2118
01:50:56,200 --> 01:51:00,439
Speaker 25: Dorsey and just stick with his favorite play that wasn't working.

2119
01:51:00,520 --> 01:51:05,479
Speaker 25: But they gotta change it. Sometimes you gotta just either

2120
01:51:07,720 --> 01:51:12,040
Speaker 25: drop play or something. But you gotta do something, you

2121
01:51:12,080 --> 01:51:13,000
Speaker 25: gotta pay I get it, Tom.

2122
01:51:13,080 --> 01:51:14,880
Speaker 6: One of the things about it, though, too, is don't

2123
01:51:14,880 --> 01:51:17,280
Speaker 6: forget and this is the way through the third quarter

2124
01:51:17,320 --> 01:51:21,200
Speaker 6: and all of that. And I know it sounds timid,

2125
01:51:22,360 --> 01:51:25,880
Speaker 6: but it's also part of what football is about. You're

2126
01:51:25,880 --> 01:51:30,120
Speaker 6: in a one score game, and part of what you

2127
01:51:30,160 --> 01:51:32,760
Speaker 6: want to do is force the other team to at

2128
01:51:32,840 --> 01:51:36,240
Speaker 6: least play honest. And I know that it's frustrating when

2129
01:51:36,240 --> 01:51:38,599
Speaker 6: you get these plays. And like we heard about it,

2130
01:51:38,680 --> 01:51:41,120
Speaker 6: you know, for a lot of times on those bubble

2131
01:51:41,120 --> 01:51:43,519
Speaker 6: screens they throw to the sidelines. They're just not good enough,

2132
01:51:43,560 --> 01:51:45,400
Speaker 6: they don't get enough out of it, that kind of thing.

2133
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:48,559
Speaker 6: Some of what that does is to make sure the

2134
01:51:48,600 --> 01:51:54,120
Speaker 6: defense is on that and you make them prove it

2135
01:51:54,720 --> 01:51:58,040
Speaker 6: time and time again. In a one score game, you

2136
01:51:58,040 --> 01:52:02,240
Speaker 6: can do that, and that's part of what makes you successful.

2137
01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:04,640
Speaker 6: That failure I guess it is better for lack of

2138
01:52:04,640 --> 01:52:06,400
Speaker 6: a better way to put it, that failure on first

2139
01:52:06,400 --> 01:52:08,320
Speaker 6: down in the run game where you keep doing it

2140
01:52:08,360 --> 01:52:10,439
Speaker 6: is part of the reasons you can stay successful on

2141
01:52:10,479 --> 01:52:12,680
Speaker 6: second and third down to move the sticks because the

2142
01:52:12,720 --> 01:52:16,040
Speaker 6: defense is forced to respect it, and if they're forced

2143
01:52:16,040 --> 01:52:19,880
Speaker 6: by alignment, by their keys, by their expectation to think

2144
01:52:19,920 --> 01:52:22,519
Speaker 6: you're gonna do it. I'm not saying, and I get

2145
01:52:22,520 --> 01:52:25,599
Speaker 6: what you mean. You like banging your head against the wall,

2146
01:52:26,200 --> 01:52:29,320
Speaker 6: but you got the Bills had seventy seven offensive plays

2147
01:52:29,400 --> 01:52:35,000
Speaker 6: in the game, and you it's you run out of

2148
01:52:36,360 --> 01:52:40,519
Speaker 6: new things pretty fast. When you get into a game

2149
01:52:40,520 --> 01:52:42,479
Speaker 6: where you're gonna run, every single play is gonna be

2150
01:52:42,479 --> 01:52:44,519
Speaker 6: different than the last one. What you want to do

2151
01:52:44,760 --> 01:52:48,040
Speaker 6: is get your get the defender to do something you

2152
01:52:48,280 --> 01:52:51,439
Speaker 6: know they're gonna do, and you only do that by

2153
01:52:51,520 --> 01:52:54,040
Speaker 6: hitting them with something time and time again to make

2154
01:52:54,080 --> 01:52:56,280
Speaker 6: sure you can predict exactly what they're gonna do on

2155
01:52:56,320 --> 01:52:57,880
Speaker 6: the next and down and the next down and the

2156
01:52:57,920 --> 01:52:59,920
Speaker 6: next down. So there's a little bit of that going

2157
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:03,200
Speaker 6: going on. I'm I'm positive, and I know it's frustrating

2158
01:53:03,400 --> 01:53:07,080
Speaker 6: for fans to like roll their eyes and say, oh yeah,

2159
01:53:07,240 --> 01:53:09,400
Speaker 6: they're gonna they're gonna line up and they're gonna try

2160
01:53:09,439 --> 01:53:11,639
Speaker 6: and get them to go off sides. I know they're

2161
01:53:11,680 --> 01:53:16,960
Speaker 6: gonna do it, Okay, that's fine, but you gotta make

2162
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:18,160
Speaker 6: them do it right.

2163
01:53:18,720 --> 01:53:22,120
Speaker 2: And I would also say that don't just look at

2164
01:53:22,120 --> 01:53:25,760
Speaker 2: the offensive play calling in a vacuum. Try to recognize

2165
01:53:25,800 --> 01:53:29,840
Speaker 2: time and score, how the defense is playing, because it

2166
01:53:29,920 --> 01:53:33,160
Speaker 2: all factors into the sel position and field positions. So

2167
01:53:34,000 --> 01:53:36,400
Speaker 2: at that point in the game, they're running a lot

2168
01:53:36,439 --> 01:53:39,639
Speaker 2: on first down because they've got the lead. That's number one.

2169
01:53:40,200 --> 01:53:43,160
Speaker 2: The defense in the second half is playing lights out

2170
01:53:43,520 --> 01:53:44,439
Speaker 2: Miami's quarter.

2171
01:53:44,479 --> 01:53:46,280
Speaker 6: They had the lead in the third quarter they did not.

2172
01:53:46,439 --> 01:53:50,360
Speaker 2: No, so some of those factors sometimes come into play

2173
01:53:51,040 --> 01:53:57,000
Speaker 2: which will lean them almost seemingly unnecessarily towards the run

2174
01:53:57,040 --> 01:54:00,840
Speaker 2: game or the pass game, whatever seems to be the

2175
01:54:00,880 --> 01:54:04,439
Speaker 2: flavor of the day for the game plan. So that

2176
01:54:04,479 --> 01:54:08,320
Speaker 2: could be a mitigating factor also. But the best part

2177
01:54:08,360 --> 01:54:12,000
Speaker 2: about it is being that run heavy will force Pittsburgh

2178
01:54:12,040 --> 01:54:15,480
Speaker 2: in preparation for this game to be honest against Buffalo's

2179
01:54:15,560 --> 01:54:19,160
Speaker 2: run front and play that way, which could set up

2180
01:54:19,200 --> 01:54:22,920
Speaker 2: other things to call off of it. Knowing right out

2181
01:54:22,920 --> 01:54:25,559
Speaker 2: of the gate, you'll have Pittsburgh playing you honestly to

2182
01:54:25,600 --> 01:54:26,280
Speaker 2: stop the run.

2183
01:54:26,680 --> 01:54:34,360
Speaker 6: That's rights. It says something about what other teams have

2184
01:54:34,440 --> 01:54:36,840
Speaker 6: to do to prepare for you. And you'll see that.

2185
01:54:36,920 --> 01:54:39,040
Speaker 6: I've heard Tony Romo talk about this in the booth

2186
01:54:39,080 --> 01:54:40,960
Speaker 6: as well. Where you get down close into the red

2187
01:54:41,040 --> 01:54:43,640
Speaker 6: zone and then down the goal to go situations, you'll

2188
01:54:43,640 --> 01:54:46,800
Speaker 6: see teams run a play and it's like, what are

2189
01:54:46,840 --> 01:54:49,920
Speaker 6: you doing? And he said it, it's about analytics.

2190
01:54:50,600 --> 01:54:50,880
Speaker 2: You get.

2191
01:54:51,080 --> 01:54:54,040
Speaker 6: You only have a few goal to go situations, and

2192
01:54:54,080 --> 01:54:56,160
Speaker 6: if you throw in a play, it could work if

2193
01:54:56,160 --> 01:54:58,760
Speaker 6: you execute it right, if you catch them, but it's

2194
01:54:58,800 --> 01:55:03,640
Speaker 6: an absolute statbuster. It's gonna throw off the percentages of

2195
01:55:03,640 --> 01:55:05,960
Speaker 6: what you really want to do, of what you do

2196
01:55:06,120 --> 01:55:09,240
Speaker 6: well down there. A lot of that goes into what

2197
01:55:09,320 --> 01:55:11,520
Speaker 6: it takes to be a good NFL coordinator and a

2198
01:55:11,560 --> 01:55:14,120
Speaker 6: coaching staff. You got to be aware of how you

2199
01:55:14,160 --> 01:55:18,320
Speaker 6: look statistically to other teams. And on first down you

2200
01:55:18,360 --> 01:55:19,640
Speaker 6: get in there and all of a sudden, the bills

2201
01:55:19,680 --> 01:55:22,520
Speaker 6: are eighty five percent run on first down or ninety percent.

2202
01:55:23,760 --> 01:55:26,160
Speaker 6: It's like, okay, let's go. We're gonna they're gonna start

2203
01:55:26,240 --> 01:55:28,360
Speaker 6: and you're they're gonna start getting some things, and all

2204
01:55:28,360 --> 01:55:34,040
Speaker 6: of a sudden, Josh doesn't say kill, kill, kill, He

2205
01:55:34,160 --> 01:55:36,440
Speaker 6: just go He runs the play and he hits Steph

2206
01:55:36,480 --> 01:55:38,840
Speaker 6: Diggs on the deep one. That's the kind of thing

2207
01:55:38,840 --> 01:55:43,600
Speaker 6: you're looking at. You don't mind being predictable when it

2208
01:55:43,680 --> 01:55:47,360
Speaker 6: makes the other team predictable as well, particularly on offense.

2209
01:55:48,360 --> 01:55:51,280
Speaker 2: We will step aside and take a break here. When

2210
01:55:51,320 --> 01:55:53,920
Speaker 2: we come back, we've got to go around the locker room.

2211
01:55:53,920 --> 01:55:55,840
Speaker 2: We've also got to crack open the tweet sheet. We

2212
01:55:55,880 --> 01:55:57,840
Speaker 2: have yet to do that to get some of your

2213
01:55:57,840 --> 01:56:00,640
Speaker 2: takeaways there from the Bills to one one to fourteen

2214
01:56:00,680 --> 01:56:03,120
Speaker 2: win over the Dolphins to take the division title. We

2215
01:56:03,160 --> 01:56:05,160
Speaker 2: will do all of that when we return here on

2216
01:56:05,160 --> 01:56:07,480
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live presented by Kill out of Health. It's

2217
01:56:07,520 --> 01:56:09,120
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bill's Football.

2218
01:56:22,960 --> 01:56:23,320
Speaker 15: All right.

2219
01:56:23,360 --> 01:56:25,960
Speaker 2: Back here on One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

2220
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:29,960
Speaker 2: with you, and we want to get around the locker

2221
01:56:30,040 --> 01:56:31,880
Speaker 2: room here as we have yet to have a chance

2222
01:56:31,880 --> 01:56:35,400
Speaker 2: to do that, so we will take the opportunity to

2223
01:56:35,440 --> 01:56:38,240
Speaker 2: do that now. Around the locker room presented by Connect Life,

2224
01:56:38,480 --> 01:56:41,680
Speaker 2: your blood and organ donor network, and we begin with

2225
01:56:41,720 --> 01:56:45,280
Speaker 2: head coach Sean McDermott talking about the second half bounce

2226
01:56:45,400 --> 01:56:48,800
Speaker 2: back by his team and then win over the Dolphins.

2227
01:56:50,760 --> 01:56:52,640
Speaker 24: Wasn't a good first half. We didn't play our style

2228
01:56:52,640 --> 01:56:56,400
Speaker 24: of football. I didn't coach well enough in the first half.

2229
01:56:56,440 --> 01:56:59,480
Speaker 24: And then second half we came around and started to

2230
01:56:59,520 --> 01:57:01,520
Speaker 24: get our feet underneath us a little bit there so,

2231
01:57:02,360 --> 01:57:07,400
Speaker 24: sparked by Deontae Hardy's punt return, but special teams were

2232
01:57:07,440 --> 01:57:09,240
Speaker 24: on it tonight, which was good to see. And then

2233
01:57:10,240 --> 01:57:12,320
Speaker 24: Josh and his leadership and you could just tell his

2234
01:57:12,360 --> 01:57:12,960
Speaker 24: will to win.

2235
01:57:13,560 --> 01:57:14,440
Speaker 6: He was not going to be.

2236
01:57:14,360 --> 01:57:17,959
Speaker 24: Denied and that's who he is. And then the defense

2237
01:57:19,440 --> 01:57:21,800
Speaker 24: really stood up in the second half, made some adjustments,

2238
01:57:21,800 --> 01:57:25,120
Speaker 24: and those guys they came back and reset in the

2239
01:57:25,120 --> 01:57:28,360
Speaker 24: second half and and then the big, the big takeaway

2240
01:57:28,400 --> 01:57:31,520
Speaker 24: at the end by t Rap, great play.

2241
01:57:32,880 --> 01:57:35,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, came together in the second half, for sure. Josh

2242
01:57:35,640 --> 01:57:39,240
Speaker 2: Allen talked about some of those players who had to

2243
01:57:39,280 --> 01:57:42,360
Speaker 2: come in and step up to beat the Dolphins on

2244
01:57:42,400 --> 01:57:43,000
Speaker 2: Sunday night.

2245
01:57:45,280 --> 01:57:46,000
Speaker 6: He says a lot.

2246
01:57:45,880 --> 01:57:48,080
Speaker 26: About the depth that we have, but it talks a

2247
01:57:48,160 --> 01:57:49,840
Speaker 26: lot about the type of character that we have in

2248
01:57:49,840 --> 01:57:51,920
Speaker 26: this locker room. Guys that haven't been asked to do

2249
01:57:51,960 --> 01:57:56,320
Speaker 26: a whole lot and maybe at times being frustrated or

2250
01:57:56,440 --> 01:57:58,160
Speaker 26: or not happy with, you know, the role that they

2251
01:57:58,160 --> 01:58:01,960
Speaker 26: have on this team, but not not complaining, not getting upset,

2252
01:58:03,240 --> 01:58:05,680
Speaker 26: finding a way to help this team make football play,

2253
01:58:05,760 --> 01:58:07,560
Speaker 26: you know, win games and make football plays.

2254
01:58:07,680 --> 01:58:08,520
Speaker 4: And you saw that tonight.

2255
01:58:08,720 --> 01:58:10,200
Speaker 26: I'm so proud of those two. They've had a lot

2256
01:58:10,200 --> 01:58:13,560
Speaker 26: of up and downs this year, and again arguably two

2257
01:58:13,560 --> 01:58:16,080
Speaker 26: of the biggest plays in the game for from those guys.

2258
01:58:16,080 --> 01:58:18,320
Speaker 26: So they've worked extremely hour and they deserve it.

2259
01:58:19,040 --> 01:58:22,080
Speaker 2: That was Josh talking about Trent Sherfield and Deontay Hardy,

2260
01:58:22,120 --> 01:58:24,240
Speaker 2: who as we know, have not gotten a ton of

2261
01:58:24,280 --> 01:58:28,200
Speaker 2: snaps on offense, but Sherfield with the big second reaction

2262
01:58:28,640 --> 01:58:31,720
Speaker 2: touchdown catch and Hardy obviously with the punt return as

2263
01:58:31,760 --> 01:58:32,320
Speaker 2: something else.

2264
01:58:32,800 --> 01:58:36,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, everybody, and you know it's crazy to say this,

2265
01:58:36,320 --> 01:58:39,520
Speaker 6: but you know, not for nothing, but you got a

2266
01:58:39,600 --> 01:58:41,880
Speaker 6: quarterback in Josh, and that's why he's at the podium.

2267
01:58:41,920 --> 01:58:44,280
Speaker 6: I mean, the guy's there every week. Some of the

2268
01:58:44,320 --> 01:58:46,360
Speaker 6: people around the country, you know, they he turns it

2269
01:58:46,400 --> 01:58:47,880
Speaker 6: over too much. We've been talking about him as the

2270
01:58:47,960 --> 01:58:52,240
Speaker 6: MVP of this year and I just noticed somebody on

2271
01:58:52,360 --> 01:58:55,000
Speaker 6: social said this, and he's right. That guy was watching

2272
01:58:55,040 --> 01:58:56,960
Speaker 6: the game on the front trying to stay up when

2273
01:58:56,960 --> 01:59:00,400
Speaker 6: he's a national analyst. It's Marcus Spears, and he was

2274
01:59:00,440 --> 01:59:02,880
Speaker 6: watching the game on his phone. He said, listen that third,

2275
01:59:03,240 --> 01:59:04,840
Speaker 6: the third and thirteen run that you and I've been

2276
01:59:04,880 --> 01:59:07,080
Speaker 6: talking about, like nobody's been saying that. He goes, Listen,

2277
01:59:07,440 --> 01:59:09,640
Speaker 6: that third and thirteen down run by Josh Allen is

2278
01:59:09,640 --> 01:59:11,960
Speaker 6: why you direct deposit two hundred and fifty million bucks

2279
01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:15,600
Speaker 6: into his account. That play right there. Nobody else makes

2280
01:59:15,640 --> 01:59:18,800
Speaker 6: that play. That is why Josh is getting forty two

2281
01:59:18,800 --> 01:59:25,240
Speaker 6: million bucks a year. Plays like that, and he's he's

2282
01:59:25,240 --> 01:59:28,360
Speaker 6: probably not gonna win the MVP, but after last night,

2283
01:59:29,080 --> 01:59:32,880
Speaker 6: that's what most bills fantasy. I'll take him. Yeah, I

2284
01:59:32,880 --> 01:59:35,000
Speaker 6: don't care if he ever wins the MVP. The guy

2285
01:59:35,080 --> 01:59:39,000
Speaker 6: is the guy. He is so far ahead on making

2286
01:59:39,200 --> 01:59:44,320
Speaker 6: on playmaking ability, then almost every other quarterback in the league,

2287
01:59:44,360 --> 01:59:46,440
Speaker 6: if not all of them, and I you'd be hard

2288
01:59:46,480 --> 01:59:48,440
Speaker 6: pressed to say somebody else made more plays than him

2289
01:59:48,440 --> 01:59:52,000
Speaker 6: this year. I don't think anybody did. Nobody Lamar didn't.

2290
01:59:52,240 --> 01:59:56,080
Speaker 6: For sure, Lamar's got like twenty seven touchdowns, not forty seven.

2291
01:59:57,040 --> 01:59:58,200
Speaker 6: I don't know exactly what it is.

2292
01:59:58,240 --> 01:59:59,920
Speaker 2: How much has forty four? I finished with four.

2293
02:00:00,640 --> 02:00:03,400
Speaker 6: He's got forty four of his own wreck nobody else

2294
02:00:03,400 --> 02:00:08,640
Speaker 6: has forty. Dak has thirty eight. Yeah, he's rushed for

2295
02:00:08,720 --> 02:00:10,400
Speaker 6: fifteen touchdowns this year.

2296
02:00:11,360 --> 02:00:13,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, him and Hurts were tied with that total.

2297
02:00:13,400 --> 02:00:16,000
Speaker 6: He tied for the league leading touchdown passes with Tua,

2298
02:00:16,160 --> 02:00:21,200
Speaker 6: the guy he just strummed last night. So, uh, Josh's

2299
02:00:21,440 --> 02:00:23,160
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't have to tell Bill Mafia this,

2300
02:00:23,680 --> 02:00:26,400
Speaker 6: Josh is the MVP of the year, no matter what

2301
02:00:26,440 --> 02:00:31,880
Speaker 6: they say. For Bill's fans, no question, and uh, I'll

2302
02:00:31,920 --> 02:00:34,040
Speaker 6: listen to the all listen to the arguments. For the

2303
02:00:34,080 --> 02:00:37,040
Speaker 6: other guys. I know Lamar is a great quarterback, no

2304
02:00:37,160 --> 02:00:39,480
Speaker 6: question about it. It seems to be between him and Josh,

2305
02:00:39,560 --> 02:00:42,280
Speaker 6: or for us, it's between Josh and Lamar and Lamar

2306
02:00:42,360 --> 02:00:46,800
Speaker 6: and everybody else's pick. Nobody else is in the conversation

2307
02:00:46,880 --> 02:00:47,560
Speaker 6: in my opinion.

2308
02:00:48,560 --> 02:00:51,600
Speaker 2: We wrap up around the locker room with the hero

2309
02:00:51,800 --> 02:00:56,400
Speaker 2: on Special Teams Deontay Hardy, who described his ninety six

2310
02:00:56,520 --> 02:00:58,959
Speaker 2: yard punt return for a touchdown against the Dolphins.

2311
02:00:59,880 --> 02:01:02,800
Speaker 12: I don't know. I blacked out. I can't tell you

2312
02:01:02,840 --> 02:01:05,400
Speaker 12: what happened. I just seen a crease. I hit it.

2313
02:01:05,480 --> 02:01:08,480
Speaker 12: Next thing you know, I was free was it was

2314
02:01:08,520 --> 02:01:08,720
Speaker 12: there a.

2315
02:01:08,720 --> 02:01:10,760
Speaker 2: Little pressure on it when you fielded inside the five

2316
02:01:10,840 --> 02:01:11,680
Speaker 2: yard line thing.

2317
02:01:11,520 --> 02:01:13,520
Speaker 12: I didn't know where I was, But I didn't know

2318
02:01:13,520 --> 02:01:15,600
Speaker 12: where I was. I mean I kind of kN knew.

2319
02:01:15,840 --> 02:01:19,120
Speaker 12: Like I lined up on the twelve. I thought I

2320
02:01:19,160 --> 02:01:21,440
Speaker 12: took like two steps back. Figured I was catching the

2321
02:01:21,480 --> 02:01:24,200
Speaker 12: ball around the ten. I come back to the side

2322
02:01:24,200 --> 02:01:25,480
Speaker 12: and I'm like, how far was that? It was like

2323
02:01:25,560 --> 02:01:28,680
Speaker 12: ninety six. I was like, oh, imagine if but then

2324
02:01:28,760 --> 02:01:31,120
Speaker 12: if I didn't make a play, I've s.

2325
02:01:31,200 --> 02:01:34,520
Speaker 27: This year You've been kind of limiting your opportunities. But

2326
02:01:34,680 --> 02:01:36,800
Speaker 27: to see the reaction on the sideline after that touchdown,

2327
02:01:36,920 --> 02:01:38,480
Speaker 27: you just feel like the most popular guy in the

2328
02:01:38,520 --> 02:01:41,400
Speaker 27: scene right there, just getting hugs and hippies from everybody.

2329
02:01:41,440 --> 02:01:43,280
Speaker 27: What was that like for you once you kind of

2330
02:01:44,000 --> 02:01:45,160
Speaker 27: got back from blacking out.

2331
02:01:45,280 --> 02:01:46,640
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean that just show you, like what this

2332
02:01:46,720 --> 02:01:49,520
Speaker 12: team is all about, one one close group.

2333
02:01:49,680 --> 02:01:49,800
Speaker 16: Uh.

2334
02:01:49,880 --> 02:01:52,480
Speaker 12: It's a family here, and you kind of like, I

2335
02:01:52,480 --> 02:01:54,280
Speaker 12: w I always seen it from the outside looking in

2336
02:01:54,320 --> 02:01:56,000
Speaker 12: when I was in New Orleans. Uh, I was looking

2337
02:01:56,040 --> 02:01:57,480
Speaker 12: at this team like I wanna be a part of that,

2338
02:01:57,640 --> 02:02:00,560
Speaker 12: you know, So to be able to actually be a

2339
02:02:00,560 --> 02:02:01,920
Speaker 12: part of it, it's a aerial filming.

2340
02:02:03,680 --> 02:02:06,200
Speaker 2: All right, So that is around the locker room, presented

2341
02:02:06,200 --> 02:02:10,160
Speaker 2: by connect Life, your blood and organ donor network. Got

2342
02:02:10,160 --> 02:02:12,360
Speaker 2: to get to the tweet sheet as we've yet to

2343
02:02:12,360 --> 02:02:16,880
Speaker 2: crack that open. Here on a Buffalo victory Monday, and

2344
02:02:17,520 --> 02:02:20,200
Speaker 2: first up there tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan

2345
02:02:20,240 --> 02:02:24,360
Speaker 2: Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo

2346
02:02:24,360 --> 02:02:28,280
Speaker 2: Bills and Ed leads us off and says ball control

2347
02:02:28,440 --> 02:02:33,000
Speaker 2: and time of possession were huge factors. Seventy seven plays

2348
02:02:33,320 --> 02:02:36,280
Speaker 2: and thirty eight minutes of time of possession were impressive

2349
02:02:36,760 --> 02:02:39,640
Speaker 2: against Miami, and they were determined to hold on to

2350
02:02:39,720 --> 02:02:42,400
Speaker 2: the football after they got the lead, you know, the

2351
02:02:42,440 --> 02:02:44,600
Speaker 2: big fourth and one go for it play on their

2352
02:02:44,600 --> 02:02:45,360
Speaker 2: own thirty five.

2353
02:02:45,800 --> 02:02:49,480
Speaker 6: Think about it. That's that's that's not easy to do.

2354
02:02:49,480 --> 02:02:52,560
Speaker 6: You think scorn touchdowns is hard, Try making first downs

2355
02:02:52,600 --> 02:02:53,480
Speaker 6: without scorn.

2356
02:02:53,240 --> 02:02:55,800
Speaker 2: Touchdowns when your run games not proving.

2357
02:02:56,600 --> 02:02:58,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, against against a really good run front, I mean,

2358
02:02:58,920 --> 02:03:03,080
Speaker 6: that's they almost they almost ended the game on that

2359
02:03:03,200 --> 02:03:06,280
Speaker 6: fourth and a half a yard. The defense closed it

2360
02:03:06,280 --> 02:03:09,480
Speaker 6: out and that would have been as that's exactly what

2361
02:03:09,520 --> 02:03:12,600
Speaker 6: they did to the Patriots. They ran out the last

2362
02:03:12,680 --> 02:03:17,839
Speaker 6: five h two on the clock against those guys. That's

2363
02:03:17,880 --> 02:03:21,440
Speaker 6: that's unbelievable to be able to do that, and they

2364
02:03:21,440 --> 02:03:23,720
Speaker 6: almost got it done in that in that situation, almost

2365
02:03:23,760 --> 02:03:26,600
Speaker 6: ran the whole clock out with the last you know what,

2366
02:03:26,760 --> 02:03:28,600
Speaker 6: was it, three minutes or so to go in the game.

2367
02:03:28,760 --> 02:03:32,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. Ricky on the tweets sheet says that we have

2368
02:03:32,400 --> 02:03:35,640
Speaker 2: to feature James Cook consistently. He was eating too well

2369
02:03:35,640 --> 02:03:38,120
Speaker 2: in the beginning to not keep feeding him heavy like

2370
02:03:38,160 --> 02:03:39,760
Speaker 2: the Dallas game. I don't know if you wanted to

2371
02:03:39,760 --> 02:03:42,000
Speaker 2: feed him that much in this game. One of the

2372
02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:45,520
Speaker 2: primary reasons why is Josh Allen has had enormous success

2373
02:03:45,560 --> 02:03:48,920
Speaker 2: throwing the football against this Dolphins defense, so to go

2374
02:03:48,920 --> 02:03:52,480
Speaker 2: go super heavy in the run game, especially when they

2375
02:03:52,560 --> 02:03:56,720
Speaker 2: seemed to have the edges locked down. Cook had a

2376
02:03:56,720 --> 02:03:59,880
Speaker 2: tough time getting to the corner and getting up field.

2377
02:04:00,000 --> 02:04:03,040
Speaker 2: They seemed to have that sniffed out pretty effectively, and

2378
02:04:03,120 --> 02:04:05,120
Speaker 2: his yards per carry average would speak to that.

2379
02:04:05,200 --> 02:04:07,200
Speaker 6: For the game, right, I didn't think they were running

2380
02:04:07,240 --> 02:04:11,200
Speaker 6: the ball as successfully as they have in pass and

2381
02:04:11,280 --> 02:04:15,040
Speaker 6: credit the Dolphins for that, particularly Christian Wilkins. That guy

2382
02:04:15,120 --> 02:04:19,840
Speaker 6: was a monster yesterday. And quite frankly, that's not where

2383
02:04:19,880 --> 02:04:24,920
Speaker 6: the Dolphins stink, right, They're good against the running at

2384
02:04:24,960 --> 02:04:27,000
Speaker 6: least they were last night. Where they struggled was in

2385
02:04:27,040 --> 02:04:31,200
Speaker 6: their pass rush and their back end. So that's where

2386
02:04:31,240 --> 02:04:33,040
Speaker 6: you're going to attack, and that's why Josh threw the

2387
02:04:33,040 --> 02:04:36,440
Speaker 6: football last night. He had fifteen rushes and probably only

2388
02:04:36,480 --> 02:04:42,200
Speaker 6: what less than half of those were designed were by design, right,

2389
02:04:42,720 --> 02:04:45,040
Speaker 6: So they were going to throw the ball last night

2390
02:04:45,080 --> 02:04:47,400
Speaker 6: because that's what the Bills do. Again, that's how the

2391
02:04:47,600 --> 02:04:48,839
Speaker 6: way they match up with the Dolphins.

2392
02:04:49,680 --> 02:04:53,200
Speaker 2: Dave on the tweets sheet says the unmatched resilience of

2393
02:04:53,200 --> 02:04:57,800
Speaker 2: this team will win them a super Bowl this year. Well, well, look,

2394
02:04:58,080 --> 02:05:02,080
Speaker 2: resilience is a fantas as trade to have. We know

2395
02:05:02,120 --> 02:05:04,480
Speaker 2: how battle tested this team is over the years, the

2396
02:05:04,480 --> 02:05:08,640
Speaker 2: playoff experience that the majority of the roster has and

2397
02:05:08,720 --> 02:05:12,200
Speaker 2: comes equipped with for this postseason run. But it's not

2398
02:05:12,320 --> 02:05:15,240
Speaker 2: always resilience that'll get you a victory. Yes, they were

2399
02:05:15,240 --> 02:05:18,680
Speaker 2: resilient yesterday. They were also resourceful. They were also a

2400
02:05:18,680 --> 02:05:22,200
Speaker 2: little lucky. You know, they get to bounce off a helmet. Yeah,

2401
02:05:22,320 --> 02:05:24,560
Speaker 2: and there's only one guy underneath the ball in the

2402
02:05:24,600 --> 02:05:26,640
Speaker 2: back of the end zone and fortunately it's a Buffalo

2403
02:05:26,640 --> 02:05:29,320
Speaker 2: Bills player. So here's sometimes you gotta be a little

2404
02:05:29,400 --> 02:05:29,840
Speaker 2: lucky too.

2405
02:05:29,920 --> 02:05:33,000
Speaker 6: Here's the problem with being resilient. The Bills have been

2406
02:05:33,040 --> 02:05:36,120
Speaker 6: resilient on a week to week basis throughout the season

2407
02:05:36,160 --> 02:05:38,280
Speaker 6: where they come out and they struggle. Here they fix

2408
02:05:38,320 --> 02:05:40,160
Speaker 6: it and they respond, and they get injuries and they

2409
02:05:40,160 --> 02:05:42,240
Speaker 6: overcome and it you know, for the next week they

2410
02:05:42,240 --> 02:05:45,360
Speaker 6: got to fix At this time of year, you have

2411
02:05:45,440 --> 02:05:48,080
Speaker 6: to do it in game. You don't have time to

2412
02:05:48,160 --> 02:05:50,320
Speaker 6: go back and fix it next week. You got to

2413
02:05:50,360 --> 02:05:54,120
Speaker 6: fix it in game. You can't. Resilience is one thing,

2414
02:05:54,480 --> 02:05:57,160
Speaker 6: but it's got to be instantaneous now in the playoffs,

2415
02:05:57,200 --> 02:06:00,160
Speaker 6: you cannot take a week to get it to get.

2416
02:06:00,400 --> 02:06:02,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, preferably it's from one series to the next. You

2417
02:06:02,800 --> 02:06:05,640
Speaker 2: plug it up and get it fixed and addressed right

2418
02:06:06,440 --> 02:06:08,160
Speaker 2: because otherwise you're gonna be on the wrong end of

2419
02:06:08,160 --> 02:06:10,400
Speaker 2: the scoreboard and the teams are too good in the postseason.

2420
02:06:11,120 --> 02:06:14,880
Speaker 2: Even if you are resilient to sometimes overcome it. Chris

2421
02:06:14,880 --> 02:06:17,360
Speaker 2: on the tweets sheet says the fact that despite the

2422
02:06:17,360 --> 02:06:20,560
Speaker 2: turnover struggles, they still dug one out. This raises the

2423
02:06:20,600 --> 02:06:23,600
Speaker 2: anxiety levels on a weekly basis. I just don't want

2424
02:06:23,640 --> 02:06:26,720
Speaker 2: to see this run end prematurely. They made the tourney,

2425
02:06:27,120 --> 02:06:30,200
Speaker 2: please play some better ball. I think they'd be the

2426
02:06:30,200 --> 02:06:31,800
Speaker 2: first to tell you they could have played better in

2427
02:06:31,840 --> 02:06:33,800
Speaker 2: the first half. We just heard Sean McDermott say as

2428
02:06:33,880 --> 02:06:38,080
Speaker 2: much from around the locker room. So look, you're not

2429
02:06:38,120 --> 02:06:41,120
Speaker 2: telling them anything they don't know, and they'll get back

2430
02:06:41,160 --> 02:06:43,920
Speaker 2: at it in practice this week and hopefully play a

2431
02:06:43,960 --> 02:06:48,040
Speaker 2: more complete, three phase football game. For four quarters. It's

2432
02:06:48,080 --> 02:06:50,680
Speaker 2: been elusive. I don't think there's any secret about that.

2433
02:06:50,760 --> 02:06:54,160
Speaker 2: It has been an elusive prospect this year for them

2434
02:06:54,200 --> 02:06:57,280
Speaker 2: to play a three phase, total football game. Dallas is

2435
02:06:57,280 --> 02:07:01,640
Speaker 2: probably the last time we saw that, and the last

2436
02:07:01,680 --> 02:07:05,640
Speaker 2: time before that. I mean, are you going all the

2437
02:07:05,680 --> 02:07:06,360
Speaker 2: way back.

2438
02:07:06,160 --> 02:07:08,640
Speaker 6: To Miami first game the week four?

2439
02:07:08,760 --> 02:07:12,240
Speaker 2: You might be. So they've got some stuff that they

2440
02:07:12,240 --> 02:07:14,440
Speaker 2: have to pull together, and they know the level of

2441
02:07:14,440 --> 02:07:18,400
Speaker 2: competition is going to rise precipitously now that they're in

2442
02:07:18,400 --> 02:07:23,040
Speaker 2: the postseason, even with a seven seed like the Pittsburgh Steelers.

2443
02:07:23,600 --> 02:07:29,800
Speaker 6: So I'll say this, even if all the Bills hopes

2444
02:07:29,840 --> 02:07:31,760
Speaker 6: and all Bills fans hopes and dreams come true and

2445
02:07:31,760 --> 02:07:33,800
Speaker 6: this team does get all the way in and go,

2446
02:07:34,080 --> 02:07:37,720
Speaker 6: there's gonna be some moments in these next four games

2447
02:07:37,760 --> 02:07:41,480
Speaker 6: that are going to be excruciating. It's hard to win

2448
02:07:41,560 --> 02:07:45,000
Speaker 6: a playoff game, it's hard to win multiple playoff games,

2449
02:07:45,040 --> 02:07:47,080
Speaker 6: and it's really hard to get to a super Bowl,

2450
02:07:47,560 --> 02:07:51,600
Speaker 6: And I imagine it's really hard to win one. And

2451
02:07:51,640 --> 02:07:56,440
Speaker 6: I really know I've had a close personal experience and

2452
02:07:56,600 --> 02:08:02,120
Speaker 6: observing somebody win it at my expense. It's hard. It's

2453
02:08:02,160 --> 02:08:04,200
Speaker 6: really hard to get there and to win it. And

2454
02:08:04,280 --> 02:08:06,200
Speaker 6: there's gonna be moments when it doesn't look like it's

2455
02:08:06,200 --> 02:08:08,400
Speaker 6: gonna happen. There might be multiple moments where it looks

2456
02:08:08,400 --> 02:08:10,920
Speaker 6: like it's not gonna happen. You've got to be ready

2457
02:08:10,920 --> 02:08:14,440
Speaker 6: to weather those and battle through them as a football team.

2458
02:08:15,640 --> 02:08:17,400
Speaker 6: And the problem, and one of the reasons you know

2459
02:08:17,440 --> 02:08:19,680
Speaker 6: that happens to some teams and not to others, is

2460
02:08:19,680 --> 02:08:24,680
Speaker 6: because some teams are ready for the moment when you

2461
02:08:24,720 --> 02:08:26,480
Speaker 6: don't know what that moment's gonna be. You don't know

2462
02:08:26,520 --> 02:08:28,880
Speaker 6: it's gonna be a punt return in the fourth quarter

2463
02:08:29,640 --> 02:08:32,960
Speaker 6: of a division championship game. You don't know that. You

2464
02:08:32,960 --> 02:08:36,160
Speaker 6: don't know that it's gonna be a quick screen in

2465
02:08:36,240 --> 02:08:38,760
Speaker 6: the first quarter of a playoff game. You know, some

2466
02:08:38,800 --> 02:08:40,280
Speaker 6: of these plays, you don't know where they're gonna be

2467
02:08:40,280 --> 02:08:44,120
Speaker 6: but it's gotta be ready for it, and it's gonna

2468
02:08:44,120 --> 02:08:47,080
Speaker 6: get It's gonna be ugly for whatever team gets there.

2469
02:08:47,480 --> 02:08:49,360
Speaker 6: It's gonna get ugly at times, so you've got to

2470
02:08:49,400 --> 02:08:51,680
Speaker 6: be ready to weather it. And the preparation and the

2471
02:08:52,000 --> 02:08:54,640
Speaker 6: way we've seen this team over this last month and

2472
02:08:54,840 --> 02:08:59,080
Speaker 6: five weeks win games has got to give you some

2473
02:08:59,120 --> 02:09:01,200
Speaker 6: confidence that at least going to be ready for it,

2474
02:09:01,800 --> 02:09:03,240
Speaker 6: even if they can't get it done, you know what

2475
02:09:03,320 --> 02:09:04,680
Speaker 6: I mean. So we'll see.

2476
02:09:04,720 --> 02:09:07,400
Speaker 2: And if they don't have all the bullets in the chambers,

2477
02:09:08,520 --> 02:09:11,160
Speaker 2: they at least have three good enough ones to get

2478
02:09:11,200 --> 02:09:13,680
Speaker 2: over and win a football game, because that's how they've

2479
02:09:13,720 --> 02:09:15,800
Speaker 2: won for the better part of the last five weeks.

2480
02:09:16,800 --> 02:09:22,360
Speaker 2: They haven't had everything firing and operating perfectly, and yet

2481
02:09:22,360 --> 02:09:24,840
Speaker 2: they've still found a way to win, and each of

2482
02:09:24,840 --> 02:09:28,720
Speaker 2: those wins have been by different means. I think that

2483
02:09:29,200 --> 02:09:31,800
Speaker 2: is what inherently makes them dangerous even if they're not

2484
02:09:31,840 --> 02:09:35,960
Speaker 2: playing perfect football. keV on the tweet sheet says, as usual,

2485
02:09:36,040 --> 02:09:40,360
Speaker 2: kin Kate and Shakir our best targets carrying the load.

2486
02:09:40,480 --> 02:09:43,440
Speaker 2: These two guys are reliable as hell. Vaughn had a

2487
02:09:43,440 --> 02:09:47,240
Speaker 2: few decent pass rushes. Finally, Cook's pass catching skills need

2488
02:09:47,280 --> 02:09:50,200
Speaker 2: ten thousand more reps in the offseason. Bills make you

2489
02:09:50,320 --> 02:09:55,080
Speaker 2: sweat out every game till the end. Awesome win. Emily

2490
02:09:55,480 --> 02:09:58,800
Speaker 2: on the tweets Sheet says, the offense definitely clicked better

2491
02:09:58,800 --> 02:10:01,320
Speaker 2: than they have in previous wins, and I love seeing

2492
02:10:01,320 --> 02:10:04,240
Speaker 2: Digs getting a little more involved, along with Kincaid and

2493
02:10:04,240 --> 02:10:07,720
Speaker 2: Shakir having some big plays. I mean, you think about

2494
02:10:07,720 --> 02:10:13,560
Speaker 2: the emergence of Kincaid and Shakir and it's it's pretty

2495
02:10:14,040 --> 02:10:16,800
Speaker 2: significant because without the emergence of those two, I don't

2496
02:10:16,800 --> 02:10:18,800
Speaker 2: know that the passing game's up to snuff to make

2497
02:10:18,840 --> 02:10:19,760
Speaker 2: a deep playoff front.

2498
02:10:19,880 --> 02:10:23,120
Speaker 6: Not only that, it's also Cook. The three of those

2499
02:10:23,160 --> 02:10:25,840
Speaker 6: guys are they're kind of in this regime in the

2500
02:10:26,000 --> 02:10:28,920
Speaker 6: in the McDermott regime with Josh Allen and Diggs and

2501
02:10:28,920 --> 02:10:32,240
Speaker 6: those guys. These are young guys. Shakiro second year, Kincaid

2502
02:10:32,280 --> 02:10:39,880
Speaker 6: first year. It's just yeah, it's it's been great to

2503
02:10:39,920 --> 02:10:42,640
Speaker 6: see uh and they're gonna need him. But they're young

2504
02:10:42,680 --> 02:10:44,320
Speaker 6: guys who have really stepped up and finally got an

2505
02:10:44,360 --> 02:10:48,200
Speaker 6: opportunity and they're making the most of it. So we'll

2506
02:10:48,200 --> 02:10:50,360
Speaker 6: see how that goes going forward. But I agree with him.

2507
02:10:50,360 --> 02:10:52,800
Speaker 6: I'm it's it's going to be crucial for those guys

2508
02:10:52,800 --> 02:10:54,280
Speaker 6: to continue to get opportunities.

2509
02:10:54,560 --> 02:10:57,840
Speaker 2: Speaking of the receiving Corps, NFL Networks Ian Rappaport has

2510
02:10:57,880 --> 02:11:01,000
Speaker 2: an update on Gabe Davis and the injury he suffered

2511
02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:05,360
Speaker 2: in last night's game. Rapaport is reporting that Davis suffered

2512
02:11:05,440 --> 02:11:10,040
Speaker 2: a PCL sprain that is not considered major. His status

2513
02:11:10,160 --> 02:11:12,840
Speaker 2: is TBD, but he has not been ruled out of

2514
02:11:12,840 --> 02:11:17,960
Speaker 2: anything at this point, so in the eyes of Rapaport,

2515
02:11:18,040 --> 02:11:22,360
Speaker 2: it's considered solid news. So we'll see how he makes

2516
02:11:22,360 --> 02:11:24,680
Speaker 2: his way through the week. And obviously head coach Sean

2517
02:11:24,760 --> 02:11:27,680
Speaker 2: McDermot will be addressing the media at four this afternoon

2518
02:11:28,200 --> 02:11:31,440
Speaker 2: and we'll probably get an official update at that time

2519
02:11:31,520 --> 02:11:34,880
Speaker 2: on Gabe Davis and a host of other players who

2520
02:11:34,920 --> 02:11:39,040
Speaker 2: got nicked up in the game on Sunday, including Dion Dawkins,

2521
02:11:39,480 --> 02:11:44,960
Speaker 2: Rasul Douglas, Tyrrell Dodson. So there are a bunch of

2522
02:11:44,960 --> 02:11:48,240
Speaker 2: players in the game that got nicked up, so hopefully

2523
02:11:48,320 --> 02:11:51,080
Speaker 2: none of them seriously. Taylor rap even at the end

2524
02:11:51,120 --> 02:11:54,120
Speaker 2: of the game too, came up on the interception a

2525
02:11:54,120 --> 02:11:57,600
Speaker 2: little bit lame and was hobbling off the field, so

2526
02:11:57,880 --> 02:12:00,400
Speaker 2: we will take a break here. When we come back,

2527
02:12:00,560 --> 02:12:03,680
Speaker 2: will bring you up to date on the Black Monday

2528
02:12:03,960 --> 02:12:07,480
Speaker 2: goings on. It is the time of year, unfortunately, where

2529
02:12:07,480 --> 02:12:11,680
Speaker 2: those non playoff teams might see their coaches given pink slips.

2530
02:12:11,720 --> 02:12:13,880
Speaker 2: Will give you the rundown of who has been handed

2531
02:12:13,920 --> 02:12:17,000
Speaker 2: those next here on one Bill's Live, stay tuned.

2532
02:12:30,720 --> 02:12:31,000
Speaker 23: All right.

2533
02:12:31,040 --> 02:12:33,880
Speaker 2: Well, as happy as people are that root for the

2534
02:12:33,920 --> 02:12:36,440
Speaker 2: Bills and the Bills organization at large, it is not

2535
02:12:36,560 --> 02:12:39,160
Speaker 2: a good day for a lot of coaches around the league,

2536
02:12:39,520 --> 02:12:42,480
Speaker 2: ones that did not make the playoffs or underachieved to

2537
02:12:42,520 --> 02:12:45,520
Speaker 2: the point where they put their job in jeopardy. And

2538
02:12:45,760 --> 02:12:49,480
Speaker 2: overnight last night, head coach Arthur Smith of the Atlanta

2539
02:12:49,560 --> 02:12:53,440
Speaker 2: Falcons was the first domino to fall. He was fired

2540
02:12:53,480 --> 02:12:58,880
Speaker 2: at two minutes after midnight this morning, so he was

2541
02:12:58,880 --> 02:13:01,640
Speaker 2: given his walking papers after three seasons on the job.

2542
02:13:02,000 --> 02:13:05,080
Speaker 2: We know the Carolina Panthers fired Frank Reig during the season.

2543
02:13:05,480 --> 02:13:08,560
Speaker 2: They followed suit with firing general manager Scott Fitterer this

2544
02:13:08,720 --> 02:13:16,520
Speaker 2: morning along with quarterbacks coach Josh McCown. And then outside

2545
02:13:16,560 --> 02:13:20,160
Speaker 2: of that, the Giants fired a couple of assistants, including

2546
02:13:20,160 --> 02:13:25,440
Speaker 2: their special teams coordinator Thomas McGee, and then we saw

2547
02:13:25,480 --> 02:13:29,480
Speaker 2: the other one. Ron rivera head coach of the Washington Commanders,

2548
02:13:30,080 --> 02:13:32,840
Speaker 2: was let go, along with defensive coordinator Jack del Rio

2549
02:13:32,880 --> 02:13:38,160
Speaker 2: and defensive backs coach Brent Veisselmeyer. So that's kind of

2550
02:13:38,160 --> 02:13:43,040
Speaker 2: where that's at. There are interviews getting lined up already.

2551
02:13:43,040 --> 02:13:46,360
Speaker 2: The Commanders have made the following head coach interview requests

2552
02:13:46,880 --> 02:13:51,200
Speaker 2: Lions d C Aaron Glenn, Lions OC Ben Johnson, Ravens

2553
02:13:51,280 --> 02:13:55,240
Speaker 2: d C Mike McDonald, Rams d C Raheem Morris, and

2554
02:13:55,360 --> 02:13:58,320
Speaker 2: Raven's assistant head coach D line coach Anthony Weaver, who

2555
02:13:58,320 --> 02:14:00,000
Speaker 2: coached for the Bills at one point two.

2556
02:14:00,360 --> 02:14:02,720
Speaker 6: A dark horse candidate for me would be Aaron Glenn.

2557
02:14:04,640 --> 02:14:06,360
Speaker 6: I knew him a little bit as a player. I

2558
02:14:06,400 --> 02:14:10,720
Speaker 6: played against him and he was a dude. I hope

2559
02:14:10,720 --> 02:14:12,839
Speaker 6: I'm pulling for him secretly. But you got the Chargers,

2560
02:14:12,880 --> 02:14:19,200
Speaker 6: the Falcons, the Panthers, the Raiders, the Commanders. That's all

2561
02:14:19,200 --> 02:14:20,520
Speaker 6: I can think of off the top of my head

2562
02:14:20,560 --> 02:14:21,760
Speaker 6: for jobs that are open.

2563
02:14:21,720 --> 02:14:23,960
Speaker 2: Now, usually about five or six. That'll do it for us.

2564
02:14:23,960 --> 02:14:26,120
Speaker 2: On a Buffalo victory Monday, We'll see you tomorrow when

2565
02:14:26,120 --> 02:14:29,000
Speaker 2: we have ESPN's Dan Orlovski with us. We'll catch you

2566
02:14:29,000 --> 02:14:39,960
Speaker 2: at one pm.
