2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,479

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,560

57
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,880

58
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: just let's not do the show. Let's just run that

59
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,240

60
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: and listen to it for three hours. I couldn't. I

61
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: was speechless. I was screaming as Nahim Heinz returns that

62
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: opening kickoff, and I was, I'm in the booth. I mean, I'm,

63
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: you know, behind you and Eric. We sit up Mattie

64
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: and I sit up there and we're watching the stats

65
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: and looking at other games and you know, kind of

66
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: keeping track of things out of our Everybody was just

67
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: out of their seats and I don't know how you.

68
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: I don't know how you keep it together for something

69
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: like that. It's just everybody in the building felt like

70
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: there was some sort of new supernatural occurrence in that

71
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: moment and it was really something to to be a

72
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: part of. Um even though we were all just watching,

73
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: it was amazing. Um you it. You wouldn't even dream

74
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: of no that I hear. It's crazy to you know,

75
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: people wouldn't even you write a story like that. And

76
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: people are like, it's dumb. You know, it's predictable, predictable, unbelievable.

77
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: Um uh yeah. The folks on Good Morning Football are

78
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: friends there at NFL Network. Even they were saying, if

79
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: a Hollywood writer, you know, a screenwriter handed this script

80
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: in they would have handed it back to him said, look,

81
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: you gotta make a little more realistic just this. You

82
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: got to change the kickoff. Um. And that's why a

83
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: lot of the players after the game, Josh Allen among them, said,

84
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, watching that play unfold was like a spiritual experience. Um.

85
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: You can't make that stuff up. And you know, whatever

86
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: you were eligious background is, it was hard not to

87
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: believe there was a higher power at work. Yesterday, Josh

88
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: Allen throws three touchdown passes, the defense gets three interceptions.

89
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: It's been three years and three months since the last

90
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: kick return was taken back by a Bill's player. It

91
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: was yeah, and that was micah. I mean yeah, kick yes,

92
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: three months or three years, three months unbelievable. So and

93
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: the whole day and it was and I'll say this,

94
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: and I know we you know, when Bill's fandom here,

95
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: we love we love it when the Patriots are miserable.

96
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: I got to tip my hat to those guys answering

97
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: the bell like they did after that kick return. That

98
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: was a good game. And I thought, and I Mattie

99
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: and I talked about this on Bill's tonight. I thought

100
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: the Bills were very spotty in their performance yesterday. Certainly

101
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: it was a tremendously inspired performance, but it was a

102
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: roller coaster on both sides of the ball. Great plays

103
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: and poor play on offense and defense. You saw some

104
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: some unbelievable stuff go on with the big plays the

105
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: Bills offense did. The running game actually was still on

106
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: fire a little bit, but you also saw, you know,

107
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: they struggled at times, and I thought it this game

108
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: might go the other way for the Bills. We were

109
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: talking about it. You know, we could always say, Hey,

110
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be great, the Bills are gonna be it's

111
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: gonna be jacked up in there. Everythingbody's gonna go crazy.

112
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna they're gonna blow them out. I don't know,

113
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: I didn't think it might happen. And so when the

114
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: Bills come out and hit and the Patriots knew what

115
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: they were walking into, and the Bills come out and

116
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: get that opening kickoff for the Patriots come down and

117
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: actually an answer and get it to actually their offense

118
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: scored two touchdowns and the Bills only offense only scored

119
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: one in the first half and then took the then

120
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots taking the lead in the third quarter, seventeen

121
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: thirteen or seventeen fourteen. I gotta tip my hat to

122
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: how they performed, because they're not that good a team,

123
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: and they walked into a buzz saw yesterday emotionally, and

124
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, they they it was a really good game

125
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: and they played well, and you know, the Bills actually

126
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: outdistanced them. Yeah. I mean, with all of the focus

127
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: and the polarizing subject that Damar Hamlin's health was this week,

128
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: I think it might have been lost on some people

129
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: that the Patriots had absolutely something to play for. They

130
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: had control of their own destiny coming in here win

131
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,559
Speaker 1: and they are in. So yeah, they're gonna come after

132
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: it in this one. And you know that was that

133
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: was the only concern I had going into the game,

134
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: because while they only played a half a quarter of

135
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: football on Monday night, so physically they might feel pretty

136
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: fresh coming into this game. The Bills, I'm talking about,

137
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: you had no idea where each and every player's emotional

138
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: gas tank was. And you've said it time and again

139
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: on this show, Steve, football is more than just a

140
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: physical investment. There is an emotional investment to get yourself

141
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: ready to endure the physical rigors of the game and

142
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: if you don't bring that with your physical play, you're

143
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: not going to perform well. And so I even asked

144
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: coach McDermott in the pregame radio interview, come to second half,

145
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: are you gonna really have to monitor guys to see

146
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: where their emotional gas tank is? Because if it's still

147
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: a tight game second half and some guys struggling, you know,

148
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: you may have to switch a guy. And you know,

149
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary sat down for a quarter after his fumble,

150
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson sat for a while after he missed an

151
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: assignment or two. Um, he was monitoring those things, knowing that, hey,

152
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: you know, not everybody's gonna have their best today. I

153
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: think that's what I saw as well. There were certain

154
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: guys in certain moments, and because you know, there's there's

155
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: fifty three guys forty seven on game day that are

156
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: out there gonna play, and they're all gonna play. Yeah,

157
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: and some of them might end up, like nahiem hinz

158
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: have the game of their lives because of what happened

159
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: to Damar. Others maybe not so much. Some guys, some

160
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: guys might struggle with it. And I'm not you know,

161
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, point fingers in it. But it leads to

162
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: spotty performance by everybody. Yeah, and you know missed a

163
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: Simon in the back end or a blown block or

164
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,599
Speaker 1: you know, just not being in tune with a communication

165
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: and running the wrong right, wrong split something that you know,

166
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: all of that stuff goes into the mix of why

167
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: that game I think looked the way it did yesterday

168
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 1: for the Bills. Um not their sharpest game offensively, although

169
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: the big plays made it fun. Well, they won that

170
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: game with big plays flat out because two long touchdowns,

171
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: big plays, two kick returns, big plays, three interceptions. That's

172
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: how they won the game yesterday. And they only won

173
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: by twelve, right, Like, the big plays is what carried

174
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: them yesterday. That's right, And um so, I you know,

175
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: I'm I don't think they were far from hitting on

176
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: all cylinders yesterday, and they weren't like themselves. I think

177
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: that's but I absolutely it's understandable. But I think that's

178
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: but I think that's where they are now and we'll

179
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: see how. I think with a much more normal week

180
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,599
Speaker 1: ahead of them, they'll get it, get back together, and

181
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: every reason to believe they'll they'll play well. To your

182
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: point about how maybe not everybody was at their best

183
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: emotionally to play. I think an indication of that is

184
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: the steps coach McDermott took this week. The locker room

185
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: was closed, only select players are made available during the week,

186
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: and then even after Sunday's game, locker room still closed.

187
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: And I heard Mike Giardi provide a reason as to

188
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: why from NFL Network, who's been covering this story all

189
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: week and doing a heck of a job. He said,

190
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: from what he was told, there are still players not

191
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: ready to talk about this yet. And so that's coach mcdermots.

192
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: That's coach McDermott's measure to protect his players that are

193
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: trying to focus on football and right now cannot be

194
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 1: reminded about that all over again, so you don't spill

195
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: all those emotions back out again. And now you're tired,

196
00:11:55,040 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: you're exhausted again. I thought Tredavious White's comments after the game,

197
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: we're probably the most accurate portrayal of what a lot

198
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: of these players are dealing with. I mean, he did

199
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 1: not pull any punches about what they are dealing with.

200
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: And I'll be the first to tell you Tradevius White,

201
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: he grew up in Shreveport, Louisiana, He's seen a lot

202
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: of bad stuff. I mean, he did not come from

203
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: the best of neighborhoods growing up. He's seen a lot

204
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: of bad stuff in his life. But to him, this

205
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: trumps all of it because he witnessed it from start

206
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,119
Speaker 1: to finish. I think we have the clip from Tradevius,

207
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: why don't we just play it to kind of paint

208
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: the picture a little bit better. Just something that I

209
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: can't get. I can't unsee every time I close my

210
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: eyes at it. Replace. I tried watching TV and every

211
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: time the TV going commercial, just the only thing that

212
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: comes to my mind, just the vision of that. So

213
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: it's been a tough week, been a tough week fall

214
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: whole team. But it's not about about us right now.

215
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: It's about Damar and his family man, and just what

216
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: they what they had to go through, his mom and

217
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: his dad being right behind our bench and witness since

218
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: their son go through that. Man, it's just it's it's tough,

219
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: and uh, hopefully we we'll never had to go through

220
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: this again. But Damar is He's one of the most resilient,

221
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: like honest and just pure people that I've met, and

222
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: it just shows the type of person he is. So

223
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: We got a text from Damar yesterday morning round two

224
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: thirty two thirty one in the morning and for him

225
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: to text us, and what he said was, I'm thinking

226
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 1: about y'all. I'm sorry that I did that to y'all.

227
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: And for him to check on us when he's the

228
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 1: person that's going through what he's going through, man, that

229
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: just shows what type of person he is. For him

230
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: to check on us in a situation like that when

231
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: he's the one that's gone through it, so it just

232
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: shows what type of person he is. And hopefully we

233
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: can just get him back. I just I just want

234
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: to hugged out him because in the in the meeting

235
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: room he's sit like two two seats away from me,

236
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: and uh, every time he's coming to meeting room te wheezy.

237
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: So I can't I can't wait. Here's bossing able to

238
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: touch him in and just hugged out of him and

239
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: hear that again. So we miss you, man, and just

240
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: get back to us. But it's been it's been a

241
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: hard week. It's been a hard week. I mean, just

242
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: listening to him number one. But if you could see

243
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: him speaking, he's holding his head in his hand. I

244
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: think it just speaks to how emotionally exhausted this team

245
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: was and to come up with the performance that they

246
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: did yesterday. I mean, check check all of the boxes,

247
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: all the way across the board. That was the best

248
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: you could have hoped for from them with all of

249
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: the stuff that they were dealing with this past week.

250
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: It was truly remarkable. And for Trey and the rest

251
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: of those defensive backs, they're reminded of DeMar's absence every

252
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: time they step into meeting room because he's not sitting

253
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: there with them. Right there's an empty empty chair. Yeah. Um,

254
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's that's rough. That's rough. Um. And you

255
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: could you could, I know some of you, you're mostly

256
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: you listen to on radio, couldn't see Tardavius and you

257
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: could just see the burden of worry that has been,

258
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: you know, weighing these guys down since since it happened.

259
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: And you know it now they got you know, it

260
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: was just oppressive in this building for two days until

261
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: they got that welcomed news and it was just a

262
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: you know, just relief, uh. And then you know, the

263
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: guys started thinking more focused and about the game and

264
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: started thinking about that, and then the game hits and

265
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: you can imagine the whirlwind of emotions. And it's not

266
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: just them, and I know this, this happens to most

267
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: of these guys like Tardevius and you know, Josh and Knock,

268
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: every one of them. They all have a support network.

269
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: You know, Dion Dawkins brought his little girl to the

270
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: podium with him yesterday. You go home and your trying.

271
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: Your family is looking at you like with that question

272
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: like are you gonna is that gonna happen to you? Dad?

273
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: You know? Is that why? You know? Why don't we see?

274
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: You know? Um? And you got to you gotta be

275
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: there for them as well. It's a I mean there

276
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: are a lot of people leaning on a lot of

277
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: people in this room, in this building, and you could

278
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: see it on the faces the guys after the game,

279
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: uh that they you know, it's it's good that they

280
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: have each other to lean on because it's not just

281
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: about them. Their families are into it that you know,

282
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: because most of them, you know, you know, your wives

283
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: know each other, they know DeMar's family. Families know each

284
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: other because they go to all the games together and

285
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, to watch them go through it, you know,

286
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: So it's it's a big, wide reaching scope of people

287
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: who are affected by it, and to have these guys

288
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: come out and play the way they did as well

289
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: as they did. And even though we've said you know it,

290
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: you know they won and they had they had some

291
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: superlative performances, and they had some guys that didn't look

292
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: like themselves. Yeah, and I mean it's just exactly what

293
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: you would expect. Think about Dean Marlowe. I mean, that's

294
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: the guy that had to replace Damar in the lineup. Yeah,

295
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: and I think there was a reason why coach McDermott

296
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: started Dean. I mean, look, he's a more than capable player.

297
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: We know that, but I think he felt it was

298
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: important to put a veteran player in that spot, a

299
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: seven year veteran on an emotional day, player that's got

300
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: to replace Damar in the lineups, carrying even more weight

301
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned on their shoulders going into

302
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: the game, because yeah, everybody's playing for Damar. I'm playing

303
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: his spot, right, It's a little different. And I Dean

304
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: was asked about that and he basically said, hey, you know,

305
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: Eileen on my teammates, my family, my friends, my coaches,

306
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: And it was reassuring to hear from them. Hey, you're

307
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: here for a reason, you've been there before. This isn't

308
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: your first rodeo, you're a seven year veteran. Just go

309
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: do what you do and play your game. And that

310
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: was the one word of caution that coach McDermott said

311
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: to his team the night before the game too. He

312
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: said it was one of his shortest night before the

313
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: game speeches ever. But I just told he said, He

314
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: just told them, do your one eleventh, do your job,

315
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: because there is a natural tendency when you're all jacked

316
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: up to play for Damar, I'm gonna do a little

317
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: extra today and really make it count, and that's when

318
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: your team can get in trouble. Somebody's out of a

319
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: gap because they're trying to do too much to make

320
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: a play, etc. Etc. So he just wanted to remind

321
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: them of that, and I think the busts were kept

322
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: to a minimum fortunately. So yeah, it's a it's a

323
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: I was trying to think of what comes close to that,

324
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,479
Speaker 1: and it's like the one hundred one yard interception returned

325
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: by Taryn Johnson is a play that's going to be

326
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: historic in its own right, and it was in a

327
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: playoff game. But that was in front of sixty eight

328
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: hundred people. You know, it was during COVID and I

329
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: mean nobody and nobody that's a Bills fans ever going

330
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: to forget that play. But I don't think anybody that's

331
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: a Bills fan is going to forget the day yesterday,

332
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: the entire day. It's not just a play, here's the

333
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: entire day. I said. I noticed this too, and I

334
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: and it was done for a reason. If you looked

335
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: around the National Football League at all the other games,

336
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: there was a number of unique and different tributes to

337
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: demark by other teams. The Denver and I can't remember

338
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: who Denver played, let me just the Denver and oh

339
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: my gosh, I'm out to lunch. Chargers, Denver Chargers, Chargers, Yes,

340
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: Denver and Chargers. They the two players that wore the

341
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: number three, oh Derwin James and Russell James and Russell

342
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: Wilson met at mid field and knelt in a moment

343
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: of prayer while both teams were linking arms down the numbers.

344
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: There were others as well, a lot of really cool

345
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,239
Speaker 1: tributes and Titans and Jacksonville they all knelt before the

346
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: game as two teams at midfields before the game even started.

347
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: That's right, that's so did so did the Colts and

348
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: the um I remember the cold player Colts and the

349
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: Texans they met at midfield. I thought about that and

350
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: I realized why the Bills did with it. The Bills

351
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 1: introduced the medical staff, the trainer staff, and the Bills,

352
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: which was absolutely appropriate, and I loved it. I'm kind

353
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: of glad, and I'm that they didn't ask the players

354
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: to do something special on the field. I don't know

355
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: if they could have stood up to it. Yeah, I

356
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: don't think. I really don't think the players could have

357
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: could have endured it emotionally. Yeah, that's why I think

358
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,239
Speaker 1: the the recognition of the staff and all of those

359
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 1: people were done before the game, and so the players

360
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: kind of came out, it's national anthem, let's play, coin flip,

361
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: let's go. It was exactly the way they needed to

362
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: handle it for the team, for the Bills, guys, it

363
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: was nice. The league did a nice job. You know.

364
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: We had Commissioner Goodell on the pregame show. Here, he

365
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: was at the game yesterday, so was Governor Hulkel. So, yeah,

366
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: it was it was front and center everywhere around the league.

367
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: But particularly here in Buffalo, a day that I don't

368
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: think any Bills fan I'll ever forget. Um let's go

369
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: to the phones to get your takeaways from yesterday's game.

370
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: I'm sure you got a lot to say about it.

371
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: So we're gonna lead off today with Bob in Hamburg.

372
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: What do you have for us? Bob, you're on One

373
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. Brownie. You did a hell of a job

374
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: yesterday on the radio. Oh, thank you. Checked after the game,

375
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: So I was worried about Joe. Yeah, I was joking

376
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: with Steve. I was Joe, thank you. I was joking

377
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: with Steve. I almost I almost popped a vocal cord

378
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: on the on the second kick return for a touchdown. Uh,

379
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: he gave himself a cramp in his back. My back

380
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: cramped up as I was forcing air out of my

381
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: lungs and at a rate that I don't think I've

382
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: done in a while. So yeah, it was. It was

383
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: a privilege to call the game and step in for Murf,

384
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: and Murf's son helped me out. He was our spotter yesterday.

385
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 1: Mark Murphy did a heck of a job making it

386
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: easy for me. So yeah, it was. I don't know

387
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: if you could have asked for a more entertaining game

388
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: to call. I mean, so many big plays in that game.

389
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: It was insane, absolutely insane. Yeah it was. It was

390
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: a good and Brownie yet we um. You know, we've

391
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: spoken obviously before the show and since, but yeah, he did.

392
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm with him. I think I've heard nothing but kudos

393
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: about the job he did. I'm we were listening to

394
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: it obviously behind you. But can you even hear back there?

395
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: We had, we got, we got the oh you have

396
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: the headsets on the cans that we wear and I

397
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: did not know that, so we can we hear you?

398
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: So it was you did great. I was and I

399
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know why you couldn't hear us

400
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: because we I was absolutely at the top of my lungs.

401
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: I did not hear you at all. If losing my

402
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: like I've never lost my mind before. I wish we

403
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: had a camera for my kids, not for them, all

404
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: of stuff I've seen them do, my son scorn touchdown

405
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: and professional football, all my kids, my kids being born,

406
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: my grand nothing. Wow, I have never lost my mind

407
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: at a sporting event like I did yesterday at the

408
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: opening Clay Will I can't it was. It was crazy.

409
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: I cannot tell you what that did to me in

410
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: that moment. I don't think i've I've ever. Here's the

411
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: other thing too, like you kind of scan the crowd

412
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: on a play like that because you're trying to describe,

413
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: like what's the reaction. Obviously the place is rumbling because

414
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: if the play and what happened scoring on the first play,

415
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: but I will I will say until the day I die.

416
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: There were almost as many people crying as there were

417
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 1: people shouting enjoy. For the end of the play. It

418
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: was just the full spectrum of emotion going you really

419
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: do that bowl there? You couldn't get your mind around it.

420
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: It's so it was such a fairytale thing to happen. Um,

421
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: you know it was it was ninety the first one

422
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: was was like ninety six yards and you just couldn't

423
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: get your mind around it. About is that is that possible?

424
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: No flag at all? This is really happening. Yeah, it's ridiculous.

425
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: It was so unbelievable. I have a true appreciation for

426
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: niheem Heinz's speed too, because the Yeah, so it looked

427
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: like the one player number thirty whose name's gonna escape

428
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: me now and I should know this roster after doing

429
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: the game yesterday. Um oh it's uh yeah, it's thirty there. Um.

430
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: In any event, I didn't think Nick Folk had a

431
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: chance because he just he's old and he can't run

432
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: and he's a kicker. Um. But that other guy had

433
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: an angle on him, and as you said, he just

434
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: completely flat out outran the angle, right outran the angle,

435
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 1: ran it, and and nobody was catching it. You know.

436
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: The last guy that had it was matt Slater, and

437
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: matt he put up a valiant effort, but he was

438
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: coming from the far side of the field. He had

439
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: no shot. There was a part of me that felt

440
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: bad for Matthew Slater yesterday. I don't know if you

441
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: saw him at the postgame podium, he blamed himself and

442
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: the special teams unit for losing the football game. I mean,

443
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: they gave up two returns for touchdowns, they lose by twelve. Yeah,

444
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: hard not to feel that way. Long and illustrious career

445
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 1: for him as a special teams playing your team or

446
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's been All Pro and been to

447
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: the Pro boar more times than I was, and he's

448
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: a he's a tremendous guy. A tremendous, great person, a

449
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: tremendous person. Yeah, and some people had said that, you know,

450
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: Jim and Tony on the broadcast yesterday, Jim Nastny Romo

451
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: alluded to the fact that they had spoken and they

452
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: were getting whispers that that Matt was might be calling

453
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: quits after fifteen years. Yea, oh, maybe that's probably why

454
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 1: he was emotional too. If he does, um, I know,

455
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: I get, I get a lot of you know, well

456
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: wishes about the whole. That guy's a first ballot, he's

457
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: a tremendous person. And for fifteen years, I think he's

458
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,679

488
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: that's it's funny because this game now, as we do

489
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: it was such a hurdle for all of us. I think, yeah,

490
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 1: me and me in particular too. I you know, I've

491
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: been telling you guys, it was a rough week last week.

492
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: That game yesterday was a real hurdle for a lot

493
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 1: of people, not only the players and the coaches and

494
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 1: the people here the work for the Bills, but I

495
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: think some fans as well. It was the first home

496
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: Let's not forget this. It's the first home game since

497
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: the Blizzard that unfortunately cost more than forty people their

498
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: lives here in Western New York. And then you also

499
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: have the Damar Hamlin situation on top of that, and

500
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: so this is the first time where the Bills fan

501
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: base got to congregate as a community in the stadium

502
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: yesterday since those two things happened, two more tragic events

503
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: impacting Western New York and the Bills fan base. It

504
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: was the Jet game was the last home game December eleventh,

505
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: or was it? No, it was the it was the

506
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: Dolphins comes in the Dolphins game, but the Dolphins game

507
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: was at eight fifteen at night. The Bills had one two. Yeah,

508
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: they had the Chicago game three. Yeah, it was three

509
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: home one o'clock games. Four Yeah, four one o'clock home

510
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: games this year. Yeah, and because one of the because

511
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: the Cleveland game got moved, it didn't that didn't count, right,

512
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: Four games at one o'clock on a Sunday afternoon, which

513
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: is just another thing to throw on the pile of,

514
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: you know, adversity that this team has had to face.

515
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: And I know some people have said it already and

516
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: I'll echo it. I know there are a lot of

517
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: deserving coaches in this league for Coach of the Year honors.

518
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni in Philadelphia, Brian Dable in New York. Sure,

519
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: coach McDermott wasn't only an A plus coach this year.

520
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: He was an a plus leader for his team in

521
00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: so many different ways beyond football that to me, he's

522
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: a shoe in. Yeah. There's there's great coaches around, you know,

523
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: even I was watching I went to bed last night

524
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: before the Lions beat the Packers. Dan Campbell is a

525
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: guy that people are you know, they is a guy

526
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: that people would love to play for. You know, great coaches.

527
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: It's a it's a field that attracts a lot of

528
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: great men and those guys kind of filtered the top

529
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: to Sean McDermott, certainly. And when you ask people, you know,

530
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: they shrugged their shoulders and shake their head in disbelief

531
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: about the job. He did. This last for the last

532
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,680

00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,959

Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones though, at eight o

00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: fifty as we are getting your takeaways from yesterday's emotionally

560
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: charged victory over the Patriots to take the two seed

561
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: in the AFC playoffs. And next up is Judy and Buffalo.

562
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: Wait got for us Judy or on one Bills Live.

563
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: I'm want to give a shout out to tarn Johnson.

564
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: This man was coming back from a concussion the Bengals game,

565
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: and I thought he had an exceptional game yesterday. And

566
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: I will never forget that he saved the playoff game

567
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: against the Baltimore Ravens. He's one of the players I

568
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: watch on the field all of the time. Yeah, he

569
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: agreed with Judy. He's been a rock for the secondary

570
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: this year, which has, as you know, Judy been beset

571
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: by injury and has you know, had guys in and

572
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: out of lineup all year. He has been the one constant.

573
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: I'll say this. We we talked to a lot of

574
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: analysts on the show, and you're right, Judy, he's he

575
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: is a great player. And we have Greg Cosell on

576
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,479
Speaker 1: every Friday and we always get wherever we Tarren Johnson

577
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: comes up. Greg is always all over him. Thinks he's

578
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: he's great there only, he says Greg Cosell. His assertion

579
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: is that he believes the Bills, and we all know

580
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: the Bills played Nickel. They're always in their Nick five

581
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: dbs on the field. Greg Cosell to this day says

582
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: it is only because Tarn Johnson is such a good player.

583
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: That's the only guy, the only reason they can stay

584
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: in Nickel as much as they do. And we've seen,

585
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: like Dan Orlovsky say, teams are now they're trying to

586
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: isolate Tarn in the run game, get alignman pulling out

587
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: to you know, get a big body on a little

588
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: body and it's not working. Um. Yeah, Tarn is a

589
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: great player, and he continues to be great. And he

590
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: did get his concussion, got lost in the shuffle of

591
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: last week. Um, but he cleared the protocols and played

592
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: extremely well yesterday. Now, there are I don't know this,

593
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 1: there are situations where players, you know, have a head

594
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: injury or get hit in the head, and you know,

595
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: the athletic training staff and the medical team will take

596
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: a player off the field, they'll take him to the

597
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: locker room, they'll examine them for a head injury, and

598
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: they if they're unsure, they may still place them in

599
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: concussion protocol, you know, just as a precaution in the

600
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: event that symptoms show up twenty four hours later or

601
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: something like that. But sometimes players that get placed in

602
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: the protocol never really have a concussion. It's just you know,

603
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: an athletic or a medical staff being extra cautious and

604
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: airing on the side of caution. And I don't know

605
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: that that was terran situation this week, because I know

606
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: some people ask me, hey, how do people have concussions

607
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: and get out of concussion protocol in five days. It's

608
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: that it's for that reason. Sometimes they never even had

609
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: one because of being a guy looked like he had

610
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: a head injury on the field. They check him in

611
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: the back, they're not one hundred percent sure, let's put

612
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: him in the protocol just to be safe, right, And

613
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,919
Speaker 1: they say it's a head injury. You don't know whether

614
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: it you know, if it's a concussion or some other

615
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: type of injury like a cut or something like that.

616
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: So they don't they don't tell us that. Yeah, But

617
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: to Judy's point, tarn Johnson was outstanding at the line

618
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: of scrimmage yesterday knifing in and making tackles in the

619
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: run front. I thought he, Tremaine Edmonds and Greg Rousseau

620
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: were outstanding in run defense yesterday in terms of just

621
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: tripping players up at the line of scrimmage. I'm just

622
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: gonna say this, the New England Patriots do not They

623
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,720
Speaker 1: are not blessed with a lot of players with elite

624
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: physical traits. The two guys matchup wise that you really

625
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: had to worry about yesterday were DeVante Parker and Damian Harris.

626
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: Both of those players have a lot of juice and

627
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: Damian Harris is a Bill killer. In three games against

628
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: the Bills in his career, he's run for over three

629
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: hundred and forty yards. That's over one hundred a game. Yesterday,

630
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: he didn't get anything because they were keyed in on

631
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: him every time he stepped on the field and tarn

632
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: Johnson got to tackle on him for no gain. I know,

633
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: Greg Russeau got him for a minus one and Tremaine

634
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: Edmonds got him for a plus one, and I don't

635
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: I'll look up his yards per carry average, but it

636
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: was not seven point two, which is what it was

637
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,760
Speaker 1: over the previous three times he played against the Bills.

638
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: They did a masterful job against him in the run front.

639
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 1: Yeah that the Bills defense had some some moments yesterday

640
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: that were really good. And you know, after the after

641
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: the opening kick, mac Jones comes out and the Bills

642
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: were dialed in defensively too. They were they were yet

643
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: to peel him off the sea. They ended up with

644
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: a Rousseau sack on the first drop back mac Jones

645
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: had all day. So they came in and did a

646
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 1: nice job on the Patriots, but they still you could

647
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: still see you can still see they were right. Yeah,

648
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: you've given up twenty three points of that team. I

649
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: think I was a little surprised by that, but I

650
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: chalk it up to, you know, the situation. Yeah, let's

651
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: go to Stephen in Florida and X Steven. What do

652
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,240
Speaker 1: you got for us? You're on one Bills live Yeah, sir, Hey,

653
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say, first of all, I've been

654
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: foullowing the Bills since the Dennis shod days back in

655
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: the sixties, and I just wanted to point something out.

656
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: This might sound kind of weird, but I'm gonna make this.

657
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: There's several things that have been emotional highs that I've

658
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: seen in the Bill's history. Now follow us, okay. First

659
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 1: of all, OJ breaking Jim Brown's record for two thousand

660
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: three yards on December sixteenth, nineteen seventy three. His number

661
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: is thirty two, so you have three with the unity two. Secondly,

662
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: the greatest humback in NFL history January three, nineteen ninety three,

663
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: the Bills were down with three at half. They won

664
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: in overtime with three, and yesterday's game on the first month,

665
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: the second Sunday of the month one and two is three.

666
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: They won thirty five to twenty three three bookends and

667
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: for me the three plays this is three again, the

668
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: two kick returns by Hines and Alan's bomb two Diggs

669
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: So three three three three three. We love you Demarrow.

670
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Stephen. Nice job with the numerology there.

671
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: The numerology. Yeah, that's better than I would have done

672
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: for sure. That's pretty cool. Thanks for the call, Steven.

673
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. We're gonna move ahead to Rob in Tonawanda. Here,

674
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: let me pull them up. Come on, Rob, here we go,

675
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: Come on, here we go. Wow, what do you got

676
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: for us? You're on one bills live. Hey guys, it's

677
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: a pleasure to talk to you. I just wanted to

678
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: paint the picture for your real quickly. Whenever I watch

679
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: a game at home, I have to stand. I can

680
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: never sit, doesn't matter of the score. I have to

681
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: stand right in front of the TV. And this was happening,

682
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: of course, yesterday. My wife was on one couch reading

683
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: a book, my dog was on the other couch sleeping,

684
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: and my ninety two year old father was sitting in

685
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: his wheelchair. And when the kickoff happened and Heinz ran

686
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: it back. John, I'm already standing, so I'm yelling. I scream.

687
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: My wife screams because I scare her. Her book goes flying,

688
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: the dog gets scared, she starts barking, and as I

689
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: go to hug my ninety two year old father, he

690
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: gets out of his damn wheelchair and hugs me. He's crying.

691
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: It was the most incredible moment of my life. And

692
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: I've been watching football for fifty years. It was just

693
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 1: incredible and I can't even explain it. Yeah, well, that's

694
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: a great I would imagine that your home is like

695
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: many across Western New York with the excitement that that

696
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: play generated. So good job in the picture there, Rob,

697
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: that was pretty effective. It's wife's book goes flying, and

698
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,959
Speaker 1: the dogs rousted from its slumber, and his dad, who's

699
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: ninety two, is so pumped he gets out of his wheelchair.

700
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean, man, that's the best. Yeah, it's Isn't that

701
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: the best? Yes? That's unbelievable. Uh, fantastic. Thanks for the call, Rob,

702
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: that was a good one. Let's go to Jason in

703
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: Rhode Island. What do you got for us? Jason? You're

704
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: on one bills live. Hey, christ and Steve, thanks for

705
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: taking my call. Sure, and Steve likes to say living

706
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 1: in an island, I'm a pilgriman and on holy Land.

707
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: So I wanted to for the for the show that

708
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 1: you guys put together for keeping Bill's diaspora informed, especially

709
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: last week. You know, we were hanging on by a

710
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: thread a lot of us and you guys pulled us through,

711
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: So thank you. Sure and Chris, I heard you mentioned

712
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: last week some folks in Cincinnati came up with a

713
00:40:55,440 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: T shirt to raise money for DeMar's charity. And I

714
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: was listening to the pressor with Josh and Coach McDermott,

715
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: and somebody asked, Josh, you know, how do you get

716
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: ready to play a game less than a week after

717
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: the events of Monday night? And who said Demorrow would

718
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: have demanded that we charged forward? And I immediately got

719
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: hit with an idea for a Bill's shirt. And if

720
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: you guys like this, I'm hoping maybe you could run

721
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: up the flag pole the charging buffalo, the word charge

722
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: above and forward below, kind of encircling the buffalo like

723
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,439
Speaker 1: it's given it a hug. Demorrow's number three right over

724
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: the left chest, over the heart. Yeah, I'd buy that

725
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,280
Speaker 1: shirt in the hot second. Yeah, it's a good idea.

726
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,439
Speaker 1: I like it. We can run it up the flag pole.

727
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: But yeah, you just did, Jason. Yeah, hello, listen, I've

728
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: been trying. You did. Guys weren't taking calls on Friday.

729
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: I had to call Friday and didn't didn't work out,

730
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 1: so I wanted to try again today. And uh, you know, obviously,

731
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: what a game, what a game yesterday. And I don't

732
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: know how much more they got in the tank left,

733
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: but they've given us enough I think already, or at

734
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 1: least they've given me enough. All right now, Yeah, thanks much, Jason.

735
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: We're up against the break. We got to run there.

736
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: That is a question that we'll be entertaining here as

737
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: we moved through the week and inch closer to the

738
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: wildcard playoff between the Bills and the Dolphins. Everybody knows

739
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: just by watching that team they poured every emotion they

740
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 1: had out onto that field yesterday. Now comes the challenge

741
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 1: of refilling the emotional gas tank for a playoff game

742
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: against the team you already played twice. Obviously, to his

743
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: availability is going to loom large with respect to how

744
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: that game is going to play out. But I think

745
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: the Bills, more important than anything, are going to have

746
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:51,240
Speaker 1: to focus on themselves and refilling the emotional gas tank

747
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: so that they can come into that game with everything

748
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: that they're fully capable of from a physical and emotional standpoint.

749
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: We are up against a break, so we're going to

750
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: step aside. Here, be back with more of your phone calls. Next.

Speaker 1: on its ear. Yeah, we decided not to overthink it, right.

762
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: This is a gift, I mean when you really think

763
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, for all that you know, the community

764
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: and the team, and the coaching staff and its supports

765
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:03,919
Speaker 1: staff when through this was a gift ten seconds into

766
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: I mean, fourteen seconds are off the clock and they're

767
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:11,240
Speaker 1: up seven nothing. I mean that was just special, special,

768
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: special stuff. Unbelievable. It's just leaves you speechless. We started

769
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: the show with the highlight with the you know game

770
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: rewind and it's all your calls on the radio and

771
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: all the plays that were made during the game. I

772
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: could listen to it on a loop. Yeah, for three hours.

773
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: It's it's unbelievable, and it was I think a little

774
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,720
Speaker 1: bit cathartic for a lot of people. A big relief

775
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: and a and a welcomed sense of you know, however

776
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: normal you want to call, you know, pro football game

777
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: to go get into their seats and cheer the team on.

778
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 1: I know it was for the players and the coaches,

779
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: and they're gonna like, like our buddy Jason said, charge forward.

780
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, that's New York Lottery's biggest gift presented

781
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: by the New York Lottery. I want to squeeze some

782
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: more phone calls in here before we have to break again.

783
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: Let's go to Gary in Clifton Springs. What do you

784
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 1: got for his? Gary? You're on one bills live, Hey, Steve, Hey,

785
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: Chris Pleasure chatting with both you two. Hey, you did

786
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: a great job on the radio announcing sign event. I

787
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: actually tuned in to you guys and turned down my

788
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: TV volume because I'm not going to mention any names,

789
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: but those announcers. I'd really listen to you two guys.

790
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,359
Speaker 1: And speed recovered to Murph by the way, Yeah, thanks

791
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: for that, Gary, appreciate that. And another quick thing, real quick,

792
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: is that if this is correct as stat on the

793
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't that the fourth time in NFL history that

794
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 1: two ran back for a touchdown? There was three standing,

795
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 1: So there's a theme right there, right, it was three

796
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: then we made it four. Well, actually it's I hate,

797
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: I hate to crush your your willingness to tie it

798
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,760
Speaker 1: back to DeMar it's the eleventh time in league history

799
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: that two kick returns were taken back for touchdowns. So yeah,

800
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,919
Speaker 1: but I mean it had been three years and three

801
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: months since the last time a Bills player had done it,

802
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: so we were kind of clinging to that one, Gary,

803
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 1: So I'll volley that back to you to use at

804
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: your discretion. Yeah, and you and you did, Yeah, did

805
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: an excellent job. Like I said, doing the radio broadcast,

806
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm home was watching the game by myself

807
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: like that other guy was standing in front of the TV,

808
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: just you know, excitement for our bells. You know, it

809
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: used to be a seat and thing holder had to

810
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: give him up this year. But that was awesome to

811
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 1: see it on TV. And now we're going to beat

812
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 1: the Dolphins on Sunday. Thanks for the call, Gary, appreciate that,

813
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: and thanks for turning your radio up and your TV

814
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: volume down. We're never we're always appreciative when you guys

815
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: are doing that out there, so thanks for doing that.

816
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: Um let's move ahead to Clarence in Buffalo. What do

819
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: of all, I have two comments. The first comment is

820
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: I'd like to congratulate the Buffalo Bills organization with what

821
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: they did over the past week. I think they did

822
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: a great job and not only just shielding the players

823
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 1: and keeping numbers, keeping number abreast to what's going on

824
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: with everything, and just the way that they performed during

825
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: the course of the week. And I also like to

826
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: give a shout out to John Murphy's family, hope they're

827
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: doing well. And YouTube gentlemen. I want to also congratulate

828
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: YouTube because you were You were guys that I actually

829
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: really like listening to last week because you showed a

830
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 1: lot of professionalism and that's that's a great we very

831
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: suddn't see that anymore a national TV. And my second

832
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: thing is that during this course of this week, it

833
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: changed my perspective as far as professional football is concerned.

834
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 1: I've been a fan all my life, and this is

835
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: the first time in two years, believe it or not,

836
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 1: that I've watched the whole Bill's game, and it was

837
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: mainly because of the way things were done here with

838
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,439
Speaker 1: you guys and the Bills. And I want to thank

839
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: all of you for that. And I hope all the

840
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 1: fans look at this as a different way because this

841
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: is this is life, and that's the way I feel

842
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: about it now. And I thank you very much. Have

843
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: a good day. Thank you, Clarence. Appreciate the call. Yeah,

844
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: well said Clarence, Well said indeed, And thanks for the

845
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 1: kind words and the sentiments. Um yeah, I mean, Clarence

846
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: is not going to look at football the same. It's

847
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,399
Speaker 1: not just guys running around in helmets. There's there's real

848
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: people under those helmets, and it's one of the I

849
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 1: guess it's probably just another layer of things that have

850
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: come to light for a lot of fans. You know,

851
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: these players are human beings and their life is just

852
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: as fragile as anybody else's. Yeah, yeah, and uh yeah,

853
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: and it's uh, it's startling when we see things like

854
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 1: we saw last week, and it's traumatic these and you

855
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 1: know today White We're gonna all gonna remember it for

856
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: a long long time and hopefully we'll never get numb

857
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:14,399
Speaker 1: to the fact that, like we all kind of came

858
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: together after the Demor incident, hopefully we won't forget to

859
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: do that more often than just when tragedy strikes. And

860
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: thanks Clarence also for the well wishes for John Murphy.

861
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 1: We're all kind of keeping him in our thoughts and

862
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 1: prayers as well as he's making progress in his recovery,

863
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 1: so we hope that continues. We'll step aside here because

Speaker 1: his weekly visit after Bill's games. Resident member of Bill's Mafia,

873
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: NFL Network analyst Michael Robinson joining us on the show. Mike,

874
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: how are we doing? What do you think of that one? Wow?

875
00:50:56,239 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm pumped up. I have a renewed sense of um,

876
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: you know, a positive energy and humanity. I mean like

877
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't, I can't put the words around it. Guys.

878
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: I didn't expect the opening kickoff to go for a touchdown.

879
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: I did expect some excitement. I did expect some energy,

880
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But the opening kickoff and

881
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't like it was anything super special. It was

882
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: just a middle return right, one cut and then he

883
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: spared down the sideline. Um. I mean when I saw

884
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots players, you know, chasing after Nahem,

885
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, it just seemed like he got a

886
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: boost of energy. It seemed like he got faster and

887
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: they got slower. Man. It was just it was. It

888
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 1: was divine intervention. It was. It was a great thing

889
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: to see. Glad that our Bills came away with the win,

890
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 1: and they played with a lot of energy. New England Patriots.

891
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: They're a tough team to match up against, and they,

892
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 1: you know, they gave our Bills all they wanted. But

893
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:50,359
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we came away with

894
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: the wind getting ready for the playoffs. You know, I

895
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: was we were saying that earlier. I was kind of

896
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: tipping my hat to the Patriots. They walked into a

897
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 1: buzz saw. The emotion of that day, the whole league

898
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: is is you know, acknowledging Damar all the way across

899
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,280
Speaker 1: the league. They got to walk into his home crowd,

900
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: they're in Buffalo, with the stadium in the shape that

901
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: it was in, and then give up that kickoff. They

902
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: actually came back, gotten up seventeen three early in the

903
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: third quarter of the Patriots really did put forth an

904
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 1: effort like they knew it, you know, and they were

905
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: trying to get into the playoffs. They almost did it,

906
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 1: they sure did. And then the day I think I

907
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 1: tweeted something a little bit within the game, I'm so

908
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: happy a defensive coordinator is calling plays for the New

909
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: England Patriots, because I don't know if they had a

910
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:36,800
Speaker 1: real capable offensive Courtnay, we might have been in trouble.

911
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, we won the game.

912
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 1: The Bills mafia came up, We showed up and showed out.

913
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: And Damarrow Hambling watched the game as well too. I

914
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: was following his tweets all throughout the game. Man, big time,

915
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: happy moment for all involved. So let's talk about the

916
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: defense a little bit here, Mike. I was really impressed

917
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,760
Speaker 1: with the effort, you know, at the line of scrimmage.

918
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: In the run front. Damien Harris has been a Bills

919
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 1: killer in his career. Only played three games against the Bills.

920
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: He's got over three hundred and forty yards rushing in

921
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:08,399
Speaker 1: those three games. He brings juice to that offense, and

922
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: I thought they did an excellent job of keeping him

923
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: hemmed in between the tackles, never let him get out

924
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: and get loose. Tarn Johnson at the line of scrimmage,

925
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds at the line of scrimmage, and Greg Rousseau

926
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. Those arebody three run defense MVPs.

927
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:23,919
Speaker 1: I mean I couldn't agree with you more. I would

928
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 1: throw Settling there and d Oliver as well in spots

929
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: during that game. When you control the line of scrimmage

930
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 1: like our Bills did this past weekend. Is their very

931
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 1: tough team, to be right, And I swear Gregory Russeau

932
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: did he make the first three players at a game?

933
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,240
Speaker 1: I mean did they even block him the first three players?

934
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: I mean the guy was all over the place, And

935
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: honestly I could see the von Miller influence on his

936
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: game using his body being wiry and being able to

937
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 1: get to the ball, carry and get to the quarterback.

938
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,720
Speaker 1: But absolutely the rush defense has to show up, especially

939
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 1: this week against the Miami Dolphins. Who knows if two

940
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: is gonna play, who knows what's gonna happen at the

941
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: quarterback position. So the Miami is going to have to

942
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: run the football, and our Bills give up one hundred

943
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: and eighty eight western yards in that Week fifteen matchup,

944
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: So I expect our run defense to show up and

945
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 1: show out. Yeah, as you start thinking about this matchup

946
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 1: third time in the season, I kind of think, now

947
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 1: you look back on it's a good thing that didn't

948
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 1: beat him twice in a row. It's hard to beat

949
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:21,320
Speaker 1: a team three times in a row, and that both

950
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: games were close, very close. So I think this coming

951
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 1: into this game, you think it's gonna look more like

952
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 1: Week it's fifteen or Week three. You know, it depends.

953
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: See there's a there's a factor that there's an unknown here.

954
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:40,839
Speaker 1: It's the quarterback. It's too a tongue of by low

955
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: up when he is playing. This offense is at a

956
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: whole other level. And I'm not saying it's because of

957
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: how what our guy does and Josh Allen because of

958
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 1: the big, strong arm and all the physical abilities. I

959
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 1: remember talking to Darryl Bevet, a quarterback coach week fifteen

960
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,919
Speaker 1: before the game up there in Buffalo, and he said, Mike,

961
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: he was my offensive coordinator back back in Seattle. He said,

962
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: Mike rob two can see pictures like he can. He

963
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: can detail a play from college and tell you exactly

964
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: where every defender we're standing. And he can see the windows.

965
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 1: That's his superpower. And when you look at this office,

966
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: the Miami's this Miami Dolphin's office with all the speed

967
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: on the outside, they need his anticipation in time and

968
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,359
Speaker 1: for this offense to do what it needs to do

969
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,839
Speaker 1: if they don't have it. I'm not so sure, so

970
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 1: sure that this run game is strong enough that they

971
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 1: could just lean on it to beat the Buffalo Bills now.

972
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 1: And in that second matchup week fifteen, they picked on

973
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 1: my man to Ron Johnson, they picked on him, they

974
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,319
Speaker 1: ran week They you know, tried to run at him

975
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: a lot, try to get big bodies on him. And

976
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 1: then to counter that, they tried to run, you know,

977
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 1: Tarik Hill in motion going across the field and then

978
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: run back behind him. Right at the end of the day,

979
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: we Leslie Fraser may have to think about putting in

980
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 1: base defense just in rundown sometimes, just so that we

981
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 1: don't give up that many big runs early in this game.

982
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 1: Speaking of defense, Miami's defense, I know they're playing against

983
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 1: Joe Flacker on the Jets yesterday and they only give

984
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,800
Speaker 1: up three field goals. But they've got some injury problems.

985
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:08,360
Speaker 1: They lack depth defensively in terms of experienced players they

986
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: can put on the field. Xavien Howard might be a

987
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 1: question mark. Byron Jones hasn't seen the field at all

988
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: this year. It's basically Javon Holland back there with a

989
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: bunch of guys with people going in and out of

990
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 1: the lineup. I know Buffalo secondary isn't the picture of

991
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: health either, with Jordan Poyer playing hurt. Dean Marlow is

992
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: in there, a veteran player trying to stem the tide

993
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 1: into Maars absence. Tredavious White looks like he's kind of

994
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:36,319
Speaker 1: on the comeback trail after getting that pick yesterday. But

995
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: Dan Jackson and kyer Elam on the other side are

996
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 1: still platooning because one guy might miss an assignment. Hey

997
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:43,240
Speaker 1: take a seat, let's see if this guy can do better.

998
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm thinking with these two secondaries in flux, Mike, we

999
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 1: could be looking at a high scoring game, if again

1000
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: to a place. Yeah, again, that's a big if. If

1001
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: to a place, we could be looking at that. But

1002
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: I just rely on the veteran leadership from our defense.

1003
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 1: And again I say our You know what I mean,

1004
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Bills Mafield. Just looking at the veteran

1005
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 1: leadership from the defense, and I believe the line of

1006
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 1: scrimmage is stronger for this Bills defense. Again, I can't

1007
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: talk about the linebacker play more. You know, Edmund is

1008
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: playing well. He got after the quarterback. He made some

1009
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: nice drops. You look at Milano, I always call him

1010
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 1: the glue to this defense, always being in the in

1011
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 1: the rights, in the in the right space so that

1012
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: he can defend the opposing quarterback. But at the end

1013
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: of the day, this Miami Dolphins offense, they have a

1014
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 1: lot of speed on the outside, a whole lot of

1015
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: speed on the outside, and oftentimes they just send those

1016
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,840
Speaker 1: guys deep just to create the space, right, just to

1017
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: create the space so that when whoever the quarterback is

1018
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: for the Miami Dolfins, when they check it down, they

1019
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: want to break tackles and things like that. So this defense,

1020
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: our defense, Buffalo Bills, we have to be sure tacklers

1021
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 1: this week because there's gonna be a lot of one

1022
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 1: on one opportunities in space. You bring the ball carrier down,

1023
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: we win the game. You know we're talking about, you know,

1024
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: the Packers losing their opportunity to get in the playoffs

1025
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,120
Speaker 1: last night with a loss to the Lions, and and

1026
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: you know, Lyon's still playing hard for Dan Campbell. He

1027
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: got six games on tap this weekend. Is there any

1028
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 1: it was the most surprising team for you headed into

1029
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs this year, Like maybe what was the biggest surprise.

1030
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 1: Is it a team that made it you didn't think

1031
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: would or a team that isn't there that should be Honestly, guys,

1032
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: it's my other team, you guys, you know Bills my

1033
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: first team, right, My other team is my Seattle Seahawks.

1034
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: You can't let a franchise quarterback like Russell Wilson walk

1035
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:32,479
Speaker 1: out that doing. Guys, I was in that locker room.

1036
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: I've seen, you know, Coach Carroll and guys get certain

1037
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: personalities out of that locker room just so that the

1038
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: organization could be Russell's. And then Russell said he wants

1039
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 1: to get out when I'm like, well, what are you

1040
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 1: looking for? Well, Russell gets out of their geno. Smith

1041
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 1: takes the rains at the quarterback position. It becomes probably

1042
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 1: one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the National Football

1043
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 1: League this season. I think he has number one and

1044
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: number two in completion percentage. But to see this team

1045
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs, this is one to Coach Carroll's

1046
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 1: like best coaching jobs. I mean, really, I've seen him

1047
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: smiling more this year. I've seen him seem like he

1048
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 1: was enjoying himself a little bit more this year, and

1049
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 1: it didn't seem like he had to submit to a

1050
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback like he had to do in past years.

1051
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 1: So to me, it has to be the Seattle Seahawks.

1052
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 1: They weren't supposed to be there. Nobody expected him to

1053
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 1: be there except the ninety plus guys in that locker

1054
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 1: room and in that facility. So yes, it's definitely got

1055
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:29,440
Speaker 1: to be the Seattle Seahawks. The Chiefs benefit from the

1056
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 1: scrapped game between the Bills and the Bengals because they

1057
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 1: get put in control of their own destiny and they

1058
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 1: take care of business against the Raiders, and they'll have

1059
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 1: home field throughout the playoffs. Unless they faced the Bills

1060
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 1: in the AFC title game, that will go neutral sight.

1061
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 1: I've got to bring this up though, what's up with

1062
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 1: the ring around the rosy play? I mean, is that, like,

1063
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: if you're the Raiders, I need to know this from

1064
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: a player's perspective, Mike, if you're the Raiders, is that

1065
00:59:57,440 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: an insult to you that they think they can play

1066
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 1: these kind games that run a play like that against you?

1067
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Or as a Raiders defender, do you have to say,

1068
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 1: I gotta stop him and make him pay for these

1069
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 1: kind of high drinks. You gotta practice that during the week.

1070
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: You know, like that doesn't just happen. That's totally choreograph. Look, man,

1071
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 1: Eddie ree Eric bearing me. They'd be so disrespectful sometimes,

1072
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 1: Oh my business, I don't think I've ever seen anything

1073
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: like that. And as a defensive player, I would be

1074
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: looking and saying, oh, no, there's no way in Hill

1075
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: this play is gonna work. I don't care if I

1076
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 1: got to do something, slam somebody or something. There's no

1077
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: way you're gonna do ring around the rosies line up,

1078
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 1: do some type of double pass screen whatever and they

1079
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: get an end zone. No, no, no, that's a little

1080
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 1: bit disrespectful. I would I would have got upset about that.

1081
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 1: But I will say this, Kansas City Chiefs have done

1082
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: a great job this year. Seriously, I did not think

1083
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 1: that they would have this much offensive prowess without a

1084
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. Now I've said this earlier in the season,

1085
01:00:56,440 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: where I think the missing Tyrek Hill will show up.

1086
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 1: We'll be in the playoffs against a team like the

1087
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Why because we can score. We got a big,

1088
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 1: strong arm quarterback, and we got a defense that bis

1089
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 1: but don't break right, and so what you need, what

1090
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,479
Speaker 1: you need offensively to go against the defense that bids

1091
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 1: but don't break. You need that big play guy. Right

1092
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: to me, The KNSA City Chiefs don't have that big

1093
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 1: play guy. Yes you have Travis Kelsey, but he's not

1094
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: scaring anybody when you're watching. Take Tyreek Hill. He's a

1095
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: guy that scaled, scared somebody, and they had the quarterback

1096
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes to get him the football. Yeah. One

1097
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 1: last one I've got for you concerns the Bills passing game.

1098
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 1: From probably like week eleven to like Week sixteen, the

1099
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: deep shots just were not a part of Buffalo's passing

1100
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 1: game as much as they had been the first ten

1101
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: weeks of the season. Part of that was, we believe,

1102
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 1: due to the fact that Josh was throwing a lot

1103
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 1: of picks. Through the middle part of the season, they

1104
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 1: kind of pulled the reins in tighter on the passing game,

1105
01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 1: relied on the running game a little bit more, played,

1106
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: more con servant, conservatively focused on efficiency over big plays.

1107
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 1: How refreshing was it going into the postseason to see

1108
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: the absolute dime from the far hash traveling sixty yards

1109
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 1: through the air between the numbers to Stefan Diggs for

1110
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 1: a touchdown yesterday. But when you were saying that, I'm

1111
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 1: literally getting goose bumps right now. I was screaming to

1112
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 1: the top of my lungs at my house, like did

1113
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 1: you see that bazooka? I'm telling my son, I'm telling

1114
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 1: my wife, I'm telling my daughters. Did you see the

1115
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 1: bazooka dot down? Did you see that throw? I mean,

1116
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 1: this is why I call that guy QB number one

1117
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. I don't see anybody else

1118
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: on the planet doing that. I just don't. I don't.

1119
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean, and he dropped a dime and Steph Diggs.

1120
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:50,439
Speaker 1: It's to me, it's a reason why Steph Diggs after

1121
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 1: every play he's like, bro, I want it because you

1122
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 1: know your quarterback and get you the ball at any

1123
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 1: spot on the football fill. I believe if you go

1124
01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: use the bathroom in the locker room, jotside and get

1125
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 1: it to you from the fifty yard Like you know

1126
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, that's how much this guy's a

1127
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 1: home talent. It's so much. It's so much up there.

1128
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever seen anything quite like it.

1129
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 1: And when you're playing the Buffalo, I mean, when you're

1130
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: playing the New England pages. They did a good job

1131
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: of trying to keep them in the pocket because when

1132
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: you get Josh out and outside of the pocket, all

1133
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 1: hell braids littles. I'm talking about for the defense, right

1134
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 1: because you just can't cover everybody. But I will say

1135
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 1: this before I let you guys go, Gay Davis, Isaiah Mackenzie,

1136
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 1: we need another guy to truly step up because at

1137
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 1: the end of the day, these playoff defenses are not

1138
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 1: just gonna let step On Diggs go. Could continue to

1139
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 1: do what he does. Yeah, he's gonna get his passes,

1140
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 1: but we're gonna have to have a second and a

1141
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: third guy step up. Dawson Knox has been doing a

1142
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: great job, even though he needs to get better in

1143
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 1: the run game, doing a great job. But we need

1144
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 1: another passing threat to step up because defense is a

1145
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 1: focus on our guy Steph Diggs a little too much,

1146
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 1: all right, So to counter that very quickly bone his question.

1147
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: John Brown makes a big play yesterday on playing some

1148
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 1: little backyard football the Smoke Show. Returned Beasley is available

1149
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. You can elevate those guys unlimited

1150
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 1: number of times in the postseason, as you know, is

1151
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 1: one of those guys a possibility in that area since

1152
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 1: we haven't seen Khalil Shakier or Gabriel Davis or Isaiah

1153
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 1: McKenzie consistently fill that void, I believe. So I believe

1154
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 1: that touchdown that John Brown was something that Ken Dorsey,

1155
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. You know. Even our guy Josh Adam was like, whoa,

1156
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 1: I need that, you know what I mean. We even

1157
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 1: saw Josh dude, old John Brown dance on him, you

1158
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So he has a little bit

1159
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 1: level of excitement. I just love seeing his offense play. Man.

1160
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 1: He looked so close to I like seeing this entire

1161
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 1: team played. But at the end of the day, you

1162
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: don't need another threat. I don't care if it's James

1163
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 1: Cook coming out of the backfa, I don't care if

1164
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 1: as Devin Singletary the ball out in the backfield. You're

1165
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 1: going to need another explosive threat going to try to

1166
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 1: win a championship because in the AFC, these offenses they

1167
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:12,439
Speaker 1: can score. Mike, thanks very much, appreciate the insight. We'll

1168
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 1: catch up with you next week. Hopefully we're talking about

1169
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: the divisional round, my friend. Oh, we will. We ain't

1170
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 1: given no exit physicals and tell what February what thirtee

1171
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 1: point teeps something like that week? All right, thanks Mike.

1172
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 1: That's NFL Network analyst Michael Robinson joining us here as

1173
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 1: he does every week after Bill's games. And he's right,

1174
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta get another consistent option in the

1175
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 1: passing game. I think Knox has been a pretty effective

1176
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 1: number two. He's got touchdowns in four consecutive games now,

1177
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 1: so he's providing points for this offense, which is critical

1178
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 1: at the tight end position if you don't have a

1179
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 1: number two stepping up. I know, Gabe Davis is probably

1180
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 1: still beating himself up over dropping that one in the

1181
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:58,920
Speaker 1: end zone yesterday. And Isaiah McKenzie had a drop yesterday too.

1182
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 1: And this is a team that has been at or

1183
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 1: near the top of the league and drops this season.

1184
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:09,439
Speaker 1: So that's got to go away fast going into the postseason. Yeah.

1185
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 1: And and you look at you know, these guys in

1186
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 1: their targets. Khalil Shakier had a nice play a turn

1187
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 1: and run after the catch. That was a nice play.

1188
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 1: Targets one catch and he had the twenty eight yarder.

1189
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 1: It was nice, it was it was a nice I

1190
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:24,920
Speaker 1: thought and then he had. Then Mackenzie had three targets,

1191
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 1: two catches, Knocks two for two, Cook two for two,

1192
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 1: Singletary one for one, John Brown one for one. Diggs

1193
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 1: was seven of ten on his targets, and of course

1194
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis was three of ten. Yeah, and that's why

1195
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 1: people are like, come on, Gabe, yeah, because you know

1196
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,439
Speaker 1: he's better than that, you do, you know he's better

1197
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 1: than that. We've seen it. Um. And I think Eric

1198
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 1: Wood made a good point on the broadcast yesterday when

1199
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 1: he did point out because people are like, we're all

1200
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: the numbers for our passing game, you gotta remember two

1201
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 1: of the bill's offensive possessions were taken away by ninety minds,

1202
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's right. I didn't think

1203
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 1: about that, but you're right. There're two fewer possessions because

1204
01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 1: Naheim Hines has taken them to the house. So I mean,

1205
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 1: that's right. That's the numbers are probably gonna be a

1206
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 1: little down from what they usually are because yeah, I mean,

1207
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 1: I'm not complaining. I'll take those every week if Nahim

1208
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 1: Hines is willing. Let's get back to the phones at

1209
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:23,280
Speaker 1: eight oh three, five fifty one, five fifty two five

1210
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 1: fifty the number to get on board as we're asking

1211
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 1: for your takeaways from the emotional victory that yesterday was

1212
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 1: over the Patriots and waiting patiently has been John in Buffalo,

1213
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,960
Speaker 1: what do you got for us? John? Hold on? What

1214
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: do you got for us? John? You're on one bills live. Well,

1215
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 1: I'm just so happy that everything's going well for tomorrow,

1216
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:47,959
Speaker 1: thank God. Yeah. And um, I also like to say, well, Chris,

1217
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 1: I'm kind of wondering what what heritage of Italian are you.

1218
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 1: I know that you have some Italian then you I

1219
01:07:54,920 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 1: am h Napoleon, Napoli and Bari are the two areas

1220
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 1: southern Italy where my grandparents are from. So yeah, I'm

1221
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm down on the heel side of the boot. And

1222
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: then you know Napolis on the other side there down

1223
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 1: in the south. No Sicilian blood if that's what you're asking,

1224
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking when you say, yeah, my

1225
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: wife's half Sicilian, so she's got the Sicilian blood in

1226
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 1: the family, and believe me, that's probably more than enough. Okay.

1227
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:30,920
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna get in trouble. That's I always get

1228
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 1: in trouble, Okay. And what I was thinking of is that, Um,

1229
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:39,599
Speaker 1: I'd just like to see Josh Allen be a little

1230
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:42,320
Speaker 1: smarter at the end of the half. I mean, yeah,

1231
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:44,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's either throw the ball to our guy

1232
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 1: or don't throw it to nobody. Yeah, it's interesting that

1233
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 1: you say that, John, because Ken Dorsey, the offensive coordinator,

1234
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 1: has told us that is the very thing that he

1235
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:54,560
Speaker 1: often says in the headset to Josh right after he

1236
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 1: gives him the play call. He'll tell him us or nobody,

1237
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:02,200
Speaker 1: which basically means what you just outlined, which is throw

1238
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 1: it to our guy or it's out of bounds and

1239
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 1: it's uncatchable for anybody else. Yeah. The throw he made

1240
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 1: there down there too, he the ball fluttered because he

1241
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:13,559
Speaker 1: got whacked when he got hit through, So it's not

1242
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 1: really the throw he was gonna make. Maybe he was

1243
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 1: gonna throw it away or whatever. But we'll never know

1244
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:21,200
Speaker 1: the real result of what could have happened. But let

1245
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 1: me ask you, is and I know it's hard in

1246
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 1: the actual instant to make this decision. Is it better?

1247
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean, some people would argue it's better to just

1248
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:32,679
Speaker 1: eat it there and take the three on a field

1249
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 1: goal so you can go up at the half seventeen fourteen.

1250
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:37,720
Speaker 1: I haven't gone back and looked at where he was

1251
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:39,639
Speaker 1: looking for the ball. But if he you know, there's

1252
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:41,120
Speaker 1: no reason I think he wasn't gonna throw a TD.

1253
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's easy to say I've seen that enough too,

1254
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:44,960
Speaker 1: he should have done the other thing. I don't want

1255
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:48,559
Speaker 1: to be that guy. But listen, Yeah, he got hit

1256
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 1: when he threw it. That's why the interception happened. An

1257
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 1: errand he hadn't been hit, We'll never know what would

1258
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 1: have happened. But we've seen him throw touchdowns down there.

1259
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 1: In fact, we saw one to Knox three series before

1260
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:04,280
Speaker 1: that or two series before that. So you gotta trust him. Yeah,

1261
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:06,719
Speaker 1: And I know we can go back and I'll get

1262
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 1: on game during the next break, I'll get on a

1263
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 1: game pass and we'll go back and look at that

1264
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 1: play from the end zone and see maybe he had

1265
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:15,719
Speaker 1: a window there, maybe somebody was standing back there. I mean, look,

1266
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:18,600
Speaker 1: no quarterback's going to be perfect. I mean, when you

1267
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:21,640
Speaker 1: think about it, Josh got the ball in his hands

1268
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 1: every offensive snap of the game. They're not all going

1269
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:29,400
Speaker 1: to be perfect. And I think I think we're not

1270
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 1: too far removed Steve. For those of us that have

1271
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 1: been covering the team long enough from people calling in

1272
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,720
Speaker 1: and saying, why won't Tyrod Taylor take more risk in

1273
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 1: throwing the football. He'll tuck it and run too much

1274
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 1: instead of throwing because he's afraid to throw an interception.

1275
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:48,720
Speaker 1: And I remember there was a large portion of the

1276
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 1: Bill's fan base that would say, I'd rather have a

1277
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 1: quarterback who throws thirty touchdowns a year and throws twelve

1278
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:57,759
Speaker 1: or thirteen picks than a guy that throws eleven touchdown

1279
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:01,559
Speaker 1: passes a year and no picks. Well, you've got the former.

1280
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 1: So take the guy who's in the running for the

1281
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:07,719
Speaker 1: MVP every year that throws twelve or thirteen picks every season,

1282
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 1: because you've got to take some of those negative plays

1283
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 1: if you want the production on the positive side of

1284
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 1: the ledger, and he is way over on the positive

1285
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 1: side of the ledger. I mean, he's usually somewhere between

1286
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 1: two to one, two and a half sometimes three to

1287
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 1: one touchdown to interception ratio. Anybody in the league would

1288
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 1: gladly take that. Let's go back to the phones. We

1289
01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 1: go to Mark in West Seneca. What do you got

1290
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,799
Speaker 1: for us? Mark? Here on one Bill's Live A good afternoon, guys,

1291
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 1: If you give me a little leeway here. I apologize

1292
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 1: for us if I get a little emotional, but I

1293
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:44,840
Speaker 1: just wanted to call in and talk about how this

1294
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:47,240
Speaker 1: has been for me as a lifelong Bill span everything

1295
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:50,680
Speaker 1: for a season that started out with so much excitement

1296
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:53,200
Speaker 1: and so much promise, and I'm not going to go

1297
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:56,440
Speaker 1: through all the university, but it just seems like steadily

1298
01:11:57,240 --> 01:12:01,599
Speaker 1: it's been being picked away at down and made it

1299
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 1: really hard to be really optimistic and where we could

1300
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:06,559
Speaker 1: be and where we are because of everything that's happened.

1301
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 1: And then what happened to DeMar that was like the

1302
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 1: low emotionally, that was like the lowest point for any

1303
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:15,760
Speaker 1: Bills fan this season. And when it happened, I said

1304
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:19,639
Speaker 1: to myself, you know, it's almost doesn't matter what happens

1305
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:22,800
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. That my super Bowl. When

1306
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 1: he wakes up, it's going to be like him, like

1307
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 1: us making the super Bowl, And when he walks out

1308
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:29,600
Speaker 1: of that place, that's for me is going to be

1309
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 1: winning the super Bowl. That all being said, and then

1310
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:36,280
Speaker 1: yesterday happens and we had as a community and as

1311
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:39,720
Speaker 1: a Bills fan base, got an opportunity to take our

1312
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 1: arms and wrap it around not only the Bills players,

1313
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 1: but the whole organization as a whole and have a

1314
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:48,680
Speaker 1: love fest. And then the fairy tale happens in the

1315
01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:52,720
Speaker 1: opening kickoff, and I said, this is unbelievable. And then

1316
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 1: I'm starting to think, you know what, now I want

1317
01:12:55,520 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 1: it all to be read. Yeah. Actly, So now now

1318
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 1: the fairy tale happens, and I'm gone from thinking that,

1319
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:09,559
Speaker 1: you know, whatever happens. Obviously I'm rooting like hell for

1320
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 1: them to make it to the super Bowl and win it.

1321
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 1: But if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. But now

1322
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:18,400
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine. This is where I'm going to

1323
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 1: get emotional. I can't imagine for this city, for this team,

1324
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:28,160
Speaker 1: for all the ex players like Steve and anybody who

1325
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:31,599
Speaker 1: loves this team, for us to win our for super Bowl,

1326
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:35,040
Speaker 1: and watching Roger Goodell hand the trophy to Terry and

1327
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:38,160
Speaker 1: then Terry turn around and have it took tomorrow. I

1328
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 1: want it all and that's what I want to see,

1329
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:44,280
Speaker 1: yea that you know, That's why I called in, And

1330
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:46,680
Speaker 1: I hope everybody, and I'm sure many many people have

1331
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 1: this thought and it's been a roller coaster and love

1332
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 1: those guys, love that team, Steve, love you for playing

1333
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:57,479
Speaker 1: for us and representing us the way you do and

1334
01:13:57,520 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 1: continue to do. We'd love and respect guys, and I'll

1335
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 1: never let anybody tell me that sports doesn't matter and

1336
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 1: that you guys are just football players because you're not.

1337
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 1: You're not. You're our family and we love you. Thank

1338
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:11,639
Speaker 1: you great call, Mark, thanks very much for that. Could

1339
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 1: hear the emotion in your voice. And I'm just gonna

1340
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:22,439
Speaker 1: say this, there's a common belief that this Bill's team,

1341
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:27,440
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways uplifts this city, in this community.

1342
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:30,840
Speaker 1: You know, people are going through tough times. We know

1343
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 1: some of the tough stuff that we've had to deal

1344
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 1: with here just in the last eight or nine months,

1345
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 1: and the community routinely looks to this team to lift

1346
01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:44,120
Speaker 1: them up on a Sunday, make them feel a little

1347
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 1: bit better about what they're dealing with or going through,

1348
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 1: or better yet, make them forget about what they're dealing

1349
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:51,880
Speaker 1: with by the way they perform on a Sunday. And

1350
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 1: I would argue that this fan base lifted up this

1351
01:14:57,240 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 1: team yesterday, being in their building with their fans push

1352
01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:06,840
Speaker 1: them to a place where I think a lot of

1353
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 1: them weren't sure they could get too emotionally and physically

1354
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:12,920
Speaker 1: to perform in this game and get a victory. And

1355
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 1: the Bills fans, for all the times that they've been

1356
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:20,799
Speaker 1: lifted up by the success of this football team, lifted

1357
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:24,840
Speaker 1: their team up yesterday on their shoulders and gave them

1358
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:28,839
Speaker 1: the energy that they needed to win an important football

1359
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:31,880
Speaker 1: game yesterday. Not just for Damar Hamlin. We're talking about

1360
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:35,280
Speaker 1: the second seed in the AFC playoffs. That meant something yesterday,

1361
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:40,760
Speaker 1: and this fan base delivered when their team needed it.

1362
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:44,800
Speaker 1: That's the biggest takeaway for me yesterday. Yeah, it was.

1363
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:47,840
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot and sometimes it gets thrown around

1364
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:50,800
Speaker 1: kind of loosely for every team and its fan base

1365
01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:55,400
Speaker 1: about the relationship between the city and the team. It

1366
01:15:55,520 --> 01:16:00,559
Speaker 1: does hit home a little differently here in Buffalo. For

1367
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:05,720
Speaker 1: whatever reason, I felt it. Um, my wife and I

1368
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 1: chose to make our home here when after I was

1369
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:13,840
Speaker 1: finished playing. Um, we literally could have lived anywhere. And

1370
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:18,080
Speaker 1: uh it's and I was talking to Jim nance and

1371
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 1: I went and say hello, because we're friends obviously, and

1372
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:23,519
Speaker 1: uh we're talking about, you know, the week and how

1373
01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:27,080
Speaker 1: tough it's been and you know, and they're gonna probably

1374
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 1: they're thinking they're coming back here. They're gonna do the

1375
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 1: Bills Chiefs and the Bills Dolphins game this weekend. So

1376
01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:34,840
Speaker 1: Jim Nance and Tony Romo will be back in town

1377
01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:37,640
Speaker 1: talking about dinner plans and that kind of stuff. And

1378
01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 1: and he go and he kind of looked at me.

1379
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 1: He goes, just acknowledging. I said, yeah, I'm always here.

1380
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:47,000
Speaker 1: I go. I kind of found my spot, you know

1381
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:48,960
Speaker 1: what I mean. And he goes and he kind of

1382
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 1: Jim Nance is on the road forty eight weeks a year,

1383
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:57,679
Speaker 1: so he kind of gets that right. So it's something

1384
01:16:57,720 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 1: that a lot of players feel. Job. You know, I've

1385
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 1: I was at Jim, I was. I smoked a cigar

1386
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 1: with Jim and Thurman and Will Wolford was in town yesterday.

1387
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:09,599
Speaker 1: I mean, guys have ties to this. I had dinner

1388
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 1: with Bark, Pete Metz Lars and his wife Barbin, three

1389
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:18,000
Speaker 1: of their grandkids on Saturday night. So, um, this is

1390
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 1: a special place. Guys love coming back here, they love

1391
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:25,400
Speaker 1: living here. It's an old it's an old joke, but

1392
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:28,639
Speaker 1: it's true. One of the former coaches, a good friend

1393
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:31,600
Speaker 1: of mine, Jerry Glanville, coached here in Buffalo. He's linebackers

1394
01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 1: coach and maybe defensive coordinator way back in the day.

1395
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 1: And he's the guy that left tickets for Elvis. He

1396
01:17:36,479 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 1: had his own career and yeah, I mean the guy was.

1397
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:43,600
Speaker 1: He's a fantastic coach. He's an absolutely fantastic coach. He

1398
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:49,519
Speaker 1: said his wife cried twice. She cried when they found

1399
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:51,719
Speaker 1: out they were moving to Buffalo because of what everybody

1400
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:53,840
Speaker 1: thinks about our town. And she said she cried when

1401
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:57,720
Speaker 1: we left. She didn't want to leave. So that's kind

1402
01:17:57,720 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 1: of what people find when they when they come here.

1403
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:03,040

1448
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:50,599
Speaker 1: and Organ Donor Network, and we begin with Josh Allen

1449
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:55,799
Speaker 1: on the emotions of watching Niheim Hines take the opening

1450
01:20:55,880 --> 01:21:02,400
Speaker 1: kickoff back for a touchdown. I can't remember a play

1451
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:06,519
Speaker 1: that touched me like that, and I don't think in

1452
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:12,599
Speaker 1: my life. So it's it's probably number one. It was

1453
01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:14,639
Speaker 1: it was just spiritual and I just I was going

1454
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:18,880
Speaker 1: around and I just something I was going around. My

1455
01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 1: team is saying God's real, Like you can't you can't

1456
01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:25,120
Speaker 1: draw that one up, right? That one up any better? Um?

1457
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:27,479
Speaker 1: And I was just told by Kevin Kurrans it's been

1458
01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:35,200
Speaker 1: three years and three months since the last kickoff return.

1459
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:40,800
Speaker 1: So pretty cool, Pretty cool, And Josh just one of

1460
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 1: many players wearing their emotions on their sleeve. You can

1461
01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:48,400
Speaker 1: tell when guys get overwhelmed, and that's happened a handful

1462
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:52,040
Speaker 1: of times over the past week in press conferences as

1463
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:55,679
Speaker 1: they've addressed the media. Um, you know, when the team

1464
01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:58,840
Speaker 1: has done their best to try to shield players not

1465
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 1: yet ready to talk about his stuff from the media,

1466
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, closed locker room after the game, because as

1467
01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 1: we said earlier, there's just some guys that are just

1468
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 1: flat out not ready to talk about this stuff yet. Yeah.

1469
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean it's we're only a week removed from it today, right,

1470
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:14,320
Speaker 1: not even a week. And I know in our in

1471
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 1: our society, in our culture, you know, stuff happens in

1472
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:22,040
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes later we're onto something else. Um. Yeah, this

1473
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:26,760
Speaker 1: is not that for these guys, um and the further

1474
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 1: way you get from it, the easier it is to

1475
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:31,519
Speaker 1: kind of okay, now we DeMar is gonna be okay.

1476
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:33,720
Speaker 1: I can move on kind of thing. They can't. They

1477
01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:35,720
Speaker 1: there's there's some of you guys are struggling with it.

1478
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 1: You saw it yesterday, man. They it's everything was hitting them. Yeah,

1479
01:22:40,479 --> 01:22:45,439
Speaker 1: everything was hitting them yesterday. So yeah, well we'll see

1480
01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 1: how they continue to progress. Speaking of Naheim Hines, we

1481
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:52,360
Speaker 1: figured we'd get his thoughts on the opening kickoff for

1482
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:56,240
Speaker 1: a touchdown and the impact it had on him, his

1483
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:59,720
Speaker 1: teammates and the fans who were going berserk after he

1484
01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:03,360
Speaker 1: reach the end zone. I knew about that way before

1485
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:05,240
Speaker 1: the play even started. I knew this whole game, this

1486
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 1: whole week, even though on Monday I'm on CNN, I'm

1487
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:10,880
Speaker 1: on local news, ESPN, everybody's talking about DeMar, and I just,

1488
01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:12,519
Speaker 1: you know, I just felt all the love and support,

1489
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:14,840
Speaker 1: and you know, everybody talks about family and football, but

1490
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:17,400
Speaker 1: ever since I've been here, it's been about family and

1491
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 1: the Bills Mafia is the best fan base in this NFL,

1492
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 1: so in the NFL. So I mean, I've it's been

1493
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 1: it was very, very spiritual, and it was way before

1494
01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 1: I ever touched the field today. But you're running, are

1495
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:32,320
Speaker 1: you thinking about what the impact has had on your teammates?

1496
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:34,040
Speaker 1: And then they all talked about it like what it

1497
01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:36,800
Speaker 1: did for them? Oh, I was running, Oh, I was running.

1498
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 1: I was just trying to get there. And then when

1499
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:40,839
Speaker 1: I was getting I was thinking about celebrating my teammates.

1500
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:42,439
Speaker 1: And you know, as soon as I crossed the Gold One,

1501
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 1: I thought in my head like, wow, like this is

1502
01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 1: our first time since Cincinnati, Like there's no there's like

1503
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:51,080
Speaker 1: it's I'm speechless and I can't believe. You know, I'm

1504
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 1: so thankful it was me to, you know, bring that juice.

1505
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:56,000
Speaker 1: But it's it's way bigger than me. And that's what

1506
01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 1: I always thought about, and that's what I felt all day.

1507
01:23:58,200 --> 01:23:59,639
Speaker 1: It was just bigger than me and bigger than those

1508
01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:01,559
Speaker 1: ten guys who did a great job of bucking for me.

1509
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:05,559
Speaker 1: Listening to niheim Hines, though he is new to a

1510
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:08,240
Speaker 1: lot of Bills fans, having come here at the trade deadline,

1511
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:14,840
Speaker 1: when you hear him speak, you instantly know why he

1512
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:17,800
Speaker 1: was an attractive commodity to Brandon Bean. Yes, he runs

1513
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:19,680
Speaker 1: a four to three eight. Yes, he catches a ball

1514
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:22,000
Speaker 1: well out of the backfield. He's a capable running back.

1515
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:24,800
Speaker 1: But you listen to him and you know why he

1516
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:30,599
Speaker 1: fits what Brandon Bean describes as the Bills DNA team

1517
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:34,639
Speaker 1: guy worried about his teammates before he's worried about himself.

1518
01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:38,519
Speaker 1: And we heard Trudavious White talk about how he puts

1519
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:40,680
Speaker 1: the extra work in. He was talking about him in

1520
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:43,160
Speaker 1: the postgame about how Niheim is the guy he sees

1521
01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:45,599
Speaker 1: out on the practice field after practice and he's got

1522
01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:48,479
Speaker 1: Special teams coordinator Matthew Smile, who also deserves a tip

1523
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:52,519
Speaker 1: of the cat for yesterday's performance. He's out there firing

1524
01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:56,360
Speaker 1: balls out of the jugs machine and he's catching twenty

1525
01:24:56,360 --> 01:24:59,120
Speaker 1: five extra balls coming at him, and then he's trying

1526
01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:02,080
Speaker 1: to work know the all right right return here. I

1527
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:04,160
Speaker 1: want to get this release right, you know, and read

1528
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:05,960
Speaker 1: the block correctly and all that stuff. You know it

1529
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:09,320
Speaker 1: better than I do, is Steve. So yeah, it's it

1530
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:12,080
Speaker 1: is really difficult to catch kick and kickoffs are a

1531
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:16,080
Speaker 1: little easier in the NFL. Punts are a nightmare to

1532
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 1: try and field. Guys make it look so easy. It's

1533
01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:23,600
Speaker 1: not um. You got guys coming down at you with

1534
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:26,559
Speaker 1: ill intent, fast, and they're big and they're trying to

1535
01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:31,400
Speaker 1: and they're hoping you dropped that ball, you know, and

1536
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:34,720
Speaker 1: so it's and the whole team can be playing like gangbusters,

1537
01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 1: and you can mess it up for him by well,

1538
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:41,400
Speaker 1: like it happened yesterday, you let the goal bouncing. You're

1539
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:43,439
Speaker 1: trying to tell guys to get away. The ball bounce

1540
01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:46,160
Speaker 1: is funny, It goes into it goes into Taiwan Jones.

1541
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's bad seeing that back there. Man. You

1542
01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta play it right. It's hard to get right.

1543
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:54,639
Speaker 1: That was a little bit of a veteran play by Slater, though.

1544
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:57,479
Speaker 1: I had to drag him right and he pushed and

1545
01:25:57,479 --> 01:26:02,559
Speaker 1: that's and I don't know why guys don't do it more. Um, Listen,

1546
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 1: I got all the little quirkies. If I was a coach,

1547
01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:08,719
Speaker 1: that's all. I would tell them all a little tricks.

1548
01:26:08,920 --> 01:26:11,320
Speaker 1: You know, when they're down there, he's gonna fair catch it.

1549
01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:14,160
Speaker 1: Take your guy, push him into him, yeah right, I

1550
01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 1: mean get all into yeah if that, if it hits him,

1551
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:21,040
Speaker 1: you're the balls live. Grab it. All that kind of stuff,

1552
01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:24,720
Speaker 1: you know, using the using the sideline to your advantage

1553
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:29,400
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. Um, it's yeah. It was a

1554
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:32,160
Speaker 1: good play by Matt Slater, it was. And he's doing

1555
01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:34,400
Speaker 1: it against a vet too, Yeah, which made it even

1556
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:36,760
Speaker 1: more impressive. All Right, we got to take a break here.

1557
01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:39,720
Speaker 1: That's around the locker room, presented by connect Life, your

1568
01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:32,479
Speaker 1: there is some news on the NFL front concerning the

1569
01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:37,360
Speaker 1: Bill's personnel department. This according to NFL Networks Ian Rappaport.

1570
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:40,360
Speaker 1: As we know this is the firing and hiring season.

1571
01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:43,439
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury, head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, just got

1572
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:46,599
Speaker 1: canned today on what is commonly Black Monday. For any

1573
01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:49,519
Speaker 1: team that didn't make the playoffs, there's the potential there

1574
01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 1: for coaches to be getting their pink slips. That happened

1575
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:56,160
Speaker 1: in Arizona today. As we know, the Tennessee Titans moved

1576
01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:59,960
Speaker 1: on from their GM John Robinson with six weeks left

1577
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:02,400
Speaker 1: the season. By the way, Steve, they didn't win another

1578
01:28:02,439 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 1: game after firing him. Seems like that went over well

1579
01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:09,200
Speaker 1: in the locker room in any event. According to Ian Rappaport,

1580
01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:13,080
Speaker 1: Bill Senior Director of Pro Personnel, Malik Boyd will interview

1581
01:28:13,160 --> 01:28:17,519
Speaker 1: for the vacant Titans GM job, and Rappaport says he

1582
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:20,599
Speaker 1: has a great reputation You're don Ridy does. Malik Boyd

1583
01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:24,920
Speaker 1: is an outstanding personnel evaluator, so it doesn't surprise me

1584
01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:29,880
Speaker 1: that he is being interviewed for that GM job. I mean,

1585
01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:32,920
Speaker 1: when you think of the staff that Brandon Bean has

1586
01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:37,120
Speaker 1: assembled here, it's a veritable all star staff of personnel men.

1587
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:40,919
Speaker 1: Whether you're talking about Terrence Gray, the director of Pro Personnel,

1588
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:43,960
Speaker 1: whether you're talking about or player personnel excuse me, or

1589
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:47,320
Speaker 1: you're talking about Brian Gaine, the assistant general manager, or

1590
01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:51,320
Speaker 1: Malik Boyd, Lake Dawson, you can run down the list.

1591
01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:56,000
Speaker 1: There's just a cornucopia of guys with skins on the

1592
01:28:56,040 --> 01:29:00,240
Speaker 1: wall of personnel experience on this staff. So it doesn't

1593
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:02,160
Speaker 1: surprised me in the least that Malik Boyd is the

1594
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:06,400
Speaker 1: latest to get a look see reportedly from the Tennessee Titans.

1595
01:29:07,080 --> 01:29:09,280
Speaker 1: So good luck to him. We know guys are always

1596
01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:12,360
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, achieve the highest position in this league.

1597
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:14,599
Speaker 1: That's why they're in it. So good luck to Malik

1598
01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:17,640
Speaker 1: Boyden his interview there. We wish him well. We do

1599
01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:19,439
Speaker 1: want to get a couple more phone calls in here

1600
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:21,080
Speaker 1: before we have to take another break because we do

1601
01:29:21,160 --> 01:29:24,320
Speaker 1: have Eric Wood coming up in our number three and

1602
01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:29,000
Speaker 1: we go to Marie and Amherst next. Marie, what do

1603
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:31,840
Speaker 1: you got for us? You're all one. Bill's Live. Hey, guys,

1604
01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:36,120
Speaker 1: good afternoon, Good afternoon. So my biggest takeaway from the

1605
01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:39,840
Speaker 1: game was man special teams. They brought the Jews. They

1606
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:44,600
Speaker 1: really did naim Highs. He opened it up. And I

1607
01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:49,000
Speaker 1: want to say that Josh Allen, Treddavias White, I hope

1608
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:54,240
Speaker 1: that they somehow find some release and find their excitement

1609
01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:57,000
Speaker 1: again for why you know, I know life is more

1610
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:59,920
Speaker 1: important than anything, and we're all still praying the STI

1611
01:30:00,200 --> 01:30:03,360
Speaker 1: rooting for Demeyer and he's up. He's rooting for the

1612
01:30:03,400 --> 01:30:07,240
Speaker 1: guys as well. But those two right there, to Davis

1613
01:30:07,320 --> 01:30:13,000
Speaker 1: and Josh watching nar oppressors yesterday after the game, it

1614
01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:15,880
Speaker 1: was very emotional and it was like, you know, I

1615
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:19,400
Speaker 1: wonder if football is still one of the main things

1616
01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:22,200
Speaker 1: for them, you know, because it's a lot to get

1617
01:30:22,240 --> 01:30:26,680
Speaker 1: through after what they witnessed south there. But um, I

1618
01:30:26,720 --> 01:30:30,280
Speaker 1: think we could still go all the way and take

1619
01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:32,800
Speaker 1: it there, especially if we we got it we got

1620
01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:35,160
Speaker 1: We got to use those running backs, man. I know,

1621
01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:39,880
Speaker 1: um Singletary fum Boat and I'm sure he'll keep learning

1622
01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:44,400
Speaker 1: from that protecting the ball. But Cook Cook still getting

1623
01:30:44,400 --> 01:30:48,680
Speaker 1: over five yards to carry, He's still balling. Maybe we

1624
01:30:48,720 --> 01:30:53,200
Speaker 1: could bring back auto pull up from the unpracticed scoud,

1625
01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:56,559
Speaker 1: I bring Beasley back because I don't know those guys

1626
01:30:56,640 --> 01:31:00,599
Speaker 1: with the drops. But Stefan Diggs as a dog. You know,

1627
01:31:00,680 --> 01:31:02,599
Speaker 1: he's been through a lot in his life as well,

1628
01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:06,479
Speaker 1: personally with losing his father. And I saw after the

1629
01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:09,519
Speaker 1: Monday night game how he was out there. He was

1630
01:31:09,560 --> 01:31:12,479
Speaker 1: fired up. He was even though his emotional he was

1631
01:31:12,520 --> 01:31:15,280
Speaker 1: trying to rally the guys because we didn't know if

1632
01:31:15,320 --> 01:31:17,320
Speaker 1: they were going to have to continue to play. He

1633
01:31:17,439 --> 01:31:19,640
Speaker 1: was ready, it was ready to go. I think we

1634
01:31:19,720 --> 01:31:22,360
Speaker 1: still got to go to him. But to beat Miami

1635
01:31:22,439 --> 01:31:25,240
Speaker 1: next week, we got to use those tight ends. We

1636
01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:27,320
Speaker 1: gotta get more tight end play, We got to use

1637
01:31:27,320 --> 01:31:29,720
Speaker 1: those running backs, and we definitely got to stay with,

1638
01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, our leaders. But I just hope and pray

1639
01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:36,880
Speaker 1: for relief for Josh, relief for Tradavious and the other

1640
01:31:36,920 --> 01:31:39,880
Speaker 1: guys too that didn't come, you know, that couldn't speak

1641
01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:42,439
Speaker 1: as well. But when he got guys leading a team

1642
01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:45,760
Speaker 1: like that guy on defense, like Todavious, and he got

1643
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:49,320
Speaker 1: Josh at the forefront, and it all goes through Josh

1644
01:31:49,360 --> 01:31:51,840
Speaker 1: out there when we were on offense, you know, and

1645
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:53,680
Speaker 1: for him to probably have it in the back of

1646
01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:55,920
Speaker 1: his mind, it looked like every time he threw the ball,

1647
01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:59,479
Speaker 1: he turned his back real fast, like it was like

1648
01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:02,280
Speaker 1: it looked like I was like nervous to be hit

1649
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:05,880
Speaker 1: upfront or whatever. He just hes every time he threw

1650
01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:08,360
Speaker 1: the ball. He seemed like he spent And I was like,

1651
01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:10,519
Speaker 1: I hope this is not on his mind right now,

1652
01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, I was, Oh my gosh. But I mean,

1653
01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:17,080
Speaker 1: I'm just praying for all of them as a collective.

1654
01:32:17,720 --> 01:32:23,480
Speaker 1: So appreciated the ball and Steve. Concerning you know, Tradevius

1655
01:32:23,560 --> 01:32:28,360
Speaker 1: and Josh, I think the thing that encouraged me about tradevious.

1656
01:32:28,439 --> 01:32:30,080
Speaker 1: First of all, I think he needed to get a

1657
01:32:30,120 --> 01:32:33,000
Speaker 1: pick to kind of feel like himself again. So the

1658
01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:34,880
Speaker 1: fact that he got that one down at the one

1659
01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:39,160
Speaker 1: yard line was huge. I think for his mental psyche,

1660
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:43,679
Speaker 1: his self confidence that hey, I am a pretty damn

1661
01:32:43,720 --> 01:32:47,280
Speaker 1: good corner, and I think that reinforces that to him.

1662
01:32:47,320 --> 01:32:49,840
Speaker 1: So that's big because later in the game, he had

1663
01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:51,800
Speaker 1: a pass breakup down the field. Remember on the bomb

1664
01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:54,320
Speaker 1: to Parker, it kind of hit Parker in the helmet,

1665
01:32:54,400 --> 01:32:56,679
Speaker 1: so it wasn't necessarily a pass breakup, but he stride

1666
01:32:56,680 --> 01:32:59,320
Speaker 1: for stride with that guy who was an elite physical talent.

1667
01:32:59,320 --> 01:33:02,080
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any debate about that. After the play,

1668
01:33:02,720 --> 01:33:05,200
Speaker 1: Tray's out there dancing. Yeah. I haven't seen that from

1669
01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:07,000
Speaker 1: Trey in a long time since he came back, and

1670
01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:10,200
Speaker 1: this was his sixth game back from his ACL and

1671
01:33:10,280 --> 01:33:14,160
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that puts him in a place where he's

1672
01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:15,840
Speaker 1: gonna be able to deliver for this team on the

1673
01:33:15,880 --> 01:33:18,720
Speaker 1: back end, because that is a beat up secondary right now.

1674
01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:23,400
Speaker 1: No Micah Hide, Jordan Poyer playing hurt, and you know,

1675
01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:26,640
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson and kyer elam platooning because neither one of

1676
01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:31,720
Speaker 1: them has seized the job definitively. They need Trey and

1677
01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:39,120
Speaker 1: Bernard's coming is now off the IR. Benford Benford's off

1678
01:33:39,120 --> 01:33:41,439
Speaker 1: the IR. Christian Benford's off there brings some depth, It

1679
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:44,080
Speaker 1: brings some depth of the corner spot. But he's played

1680
01:33:44,080 --> 01:33:48,800
Speaker 1: this year and he's he's in there. Marlowe's is safety.

1681
01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:52,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's not the group you thought you were

1682
01:33:52,439 --> 01:34:00,000
Speaker 1: gonna go with um, But they're gonna go with him.

1683
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:02,080
Speaker 1: I mean they got to. That's they're gonna rise up.

1684
01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:03,519
Speaker 1: You got to. You gotta coach them up. They'll be

1685
01:34:03,560 --> 01:34:05,919
Speaker 1: all right. I mean they're there's still a really good defense.

1686
01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:09,559
Speaker 1: I think this is one place too where you and

1687
01:34:09,560 --> 01:34:11,160
Speaker 1: you don't say would would have, should have, could have,

1688
01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:14,519
Speaker 1: But you know, if you know you got von Miller

1689
01:34:14,560 --> 01:34:17,400
Speaker 1: on the team and Micah Hyde on the team, you

1690
01:34:17,439 --> 01:34:19,800
Speaker 1: don't know how differently it would look, but you kind

1691
01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:23,600
Speaker 1: of you think it would. You think it would, and

1692
01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:25,760
Speaker 1: this is exactly the time of year. Why Von's why

1693
01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:28,919
Speaker 1: Von Miller signed in Buffalo, this right here, this opportunity. Yeah,

1694
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:32,559
Speaker 1: and you know now he's on the sidelines watching and

1695
01:34:32,760 --> 01:34:37,439
Speaker 1: Micah week two he was gone, he's been gone. So yeah,

1696
01:34:37,439 --> 01:34:39,479
Speaker 1: it's not the exact group of guys you thought you

1697
01:34:39,520 --> 01:34:41,519
Speaker 1: were gonna finish the season with. But the group they've

1698
01:34:41,560 --> 01:34:44,200
Speaker 1: got has played very well, very well. I think that

1699
01:34:44,439 --> 01:34:47,559
Speaker 1: the guys that you look at down inside with Tim Settle,

1700
01:34:47,720 --> 01:34:52,599
Speaker 1: the Quan Jones, m Jordan Phillips, of course Ed Oliver,

1701
01:34:53,240 --> 01:34:55,519
Speaker 1: those guys down inside have had a ripple effect that

1702
01:34:55,560 --> 01:35:01,519
Speaker 1: have really helped everybody around the defense, particularly Milano and Edmonds. Yeah,

1703
01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:06,080
Speaker 1: so the secondary is not the same guys we thought

1704
01:35:06,080 --> 01:35:09,439
Speaker 1: we were gonna get, But I still think I still

1705
01:35:09,439 --> 01:35:11,720
Speaker 1: got a lot of faith in the development abilities of

1706
01:35:11,760 --> 01:35:13,400
Speaker 1: this coaching staff, and I think the guys are gonna

1707
01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:16,280
Speaker 1: play better. We got to take a break here. Our

1708
01:35:16,400 --> 01:35:20,360
Speaker 1: number three coming your way shortly and leading us off

1709
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:24,080
Speaker 1: in the third hour will be Bill's radio color analyst

1710
01:35:24,240 --> 01:35:27,599
Speaker 1: Eric Wood. We'll get his thoughts on how things looked

1711
01:35:27,640 --> 01:35:29,920
Speaker 1: from the booth. Next here on one, Bill's Live for

1712
01:35:30,000 --> 01:36:08,440
Speaker 1: his anybody collid to health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio these

1713
01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:13,280
Speaker 1: one Bill's Live presented by called Light to Health. All right,

1714
01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:15,840
Speaker 1: here we are our number three on a Buffalo football Monday.

1715
01:36:15,920 --> 01:36:18,920
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you as always, and joined

1716
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:23,000
Speaker 1: now by Bill's radio color analyst Eric Wood, who helped

1717
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:25,639
Speaker 1: make the broadcast for me A piece of cake? Eric,

1718
01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:29,439
Speaker 1: how we doing? I'm doing great. You helped make the

1719
01:36:29,439 --> 01:36:31,479
Speaker 1: broadcast a piece of cake for me as well, so

1720
01:36:31,720 --> 01:36:35,439
Speaker 1: I appreciate that excellent work yesterday again. Yeah, thanks. I

1721
01:36:35,520 --> 01:36:40,519
Speaker 1: wanted to begin here. We saw big plays returned to

1722
01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:42,880
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball, something that, as you know,

1723
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:45,040
Speaker 1: had gone away for a stretch of weeks when it

1724
01:36:45,120 --> 01:36:48,519
Speaker 1: looked like the offensive staff, in an effort to reduce

1725
01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:52,080
Speaker 1: the turnover bug that Josh had been bitten by, rely

1726
01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:53,679
Speaker 1: on the run game, a little more play, a little

1727
01:36:53,680 --> 01:36:57,360
Speaker 1: more conservatively, sacrifice big plays in the name of efficiency.

1728
01:36:57,479 --> 01:37:00,320
Speaker 1: It worked. They were still winning games, maybe not running

1729
01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:04,559
Speaker 1: away from teams. And now we get some signs here

1730
01:37:04,600 --> 01:37:06,960
Speaker 1: going into the postseason that that stuff is still a

1731
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:09,760
Speaker 1: part of what they are capable of. How much of

1732
01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:13,720
Speaker 1: a springboard can the backyard play to John Brown and

1733
01:37:13,800 --> 01:37:19,479
Speaker 1: the absolute dime to digs serve going into the postseason. Yeah,

1734
01:37:19,520 --> 01:37:22,320
Speaker 1: you love to see that they're still there. Now. There's

1735
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:24,880
Speaker 1: a number of reasons, you know. Yes, there was the

1736
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:27,920
Speaker 1: conservative play calling coming off the back to back to

1737
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:30,559
Speaker 1: back games of multiple turnovers for Josh Allen. It also

1738
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:33,240
Speaker 1: was around the time that he had the elbow injury.

1739
01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:36,880
Speaker 1: They had limited practices before the Browns game, the snow,

1740
01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:39,560
Speaker 1: the weather affected a number of the games. There was

1741
01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:42,880
Speaker 1: a lot that played into them not necessarily getting those

1742
01:37:42,920 --> 01:37:46,120
Speaker 1: big plays down the field. It wasn't simply not taking

1743
01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:49,639
Speaker 1: those shots. We don't know if now h Josh's arm

1744
01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:53,200
Speaker 1: feels great or whatever the case may be, but it

1745
01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:56,680
Speaker 1: was great to see those big plays yesterday. And that's

1746
01:37:56,680 --> 01:37:59,559
Speaker 1: what can happen when you get a run game that

1747
01:37:59,720 --> 01:38:02,280
Speaker 1: is top five in the NFL in yards per carry

1748
01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:05,360
Speaker 1: and even over the last six seven games, top five

1749
01:38:05,439 --> 01:38:08,360
Speaker 1: in just the running backs in yards per carry. And

1750
01:38:08,439 --> 01:38:10,640
Speaker 1: so when you get that run game going, now the

1751
01:38:10,680 --> 01:38:13,240
Speaker 1: safeties have to come up. When Josh proves again that

1752
01:38:13,360 --> 01:38:16,360
Speaker 1: he's willing to take the underneath stuff, those safeties come down,

1753
01:38:16,400 --> 01:38:18,800
Speaker 1: the big plays show up over the top. The John

1754
01:38:18,840 --> 01:38:21,880
Speaker 1: Brown play was an incredible catch. We both in the

1755
01:38:21,880 --> 01:38:24,840
Speaker 1: booth thought that he had overthrown him, and he had

1756
01:38:24,880 --> 01:38:28,560
Speaker 1: about eight yards on him. So when he was potentially

1757
01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:30,720
Speaker 1: going to overthrow him, we thought, oh man, that is

1758
01:38:31,080 --> 01:38:33,240
Speaker 1: unfortunate because he didn't have to throw it that far.

1759
01:38:33,280 --> 01:38:36,320
Speaker 1: But then John Brown proved that he's still got some

1760
01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:39,400
Speaker 1: gas in the tank and his wheels still work. He

1761
01:38:39,400 --> 01:38:42,679
Speaker 1: can still go. And then the Digs play. It's third

1762
01:38:42,680 --> 01:38:45,080
Speaker 1: and nine. They're at the Patriots I believe forty nine

1763
01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:48,960
Speaker 1: yard line, and so at that point in the game, it's,

1764
01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:53,439
Speaker 1: you know, keep the clock moving, it's likely four down territory,

1765
01:38:53,520 --> 01:38:57,080
Speaker 1: maybe get half of it back Instead, Dorsey dials up

1766
01:38:57,120 --> 01:38:59,599
Speaker 1: and out and up. Josh is looking off the safety

1767
01:38:59,640 --> 01:39:01,840
Speaker 1: the entire time, and so he knows he's got one

1768
01:39:01,840 --> 01:39:04,799
Speaker 1: in on over there. Diggs runs kind of a lazy

1769
01:39:04,840 --> 01:39:07,679
Speaker 1: out route to set up the corner, and then Josh

1770
01:39:07,720 --> 01:39:10,719
Speaker 1: throws an absolute missile and he's got someone barreling down

1771
01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:13,400
Speaker 1: on him, so he's got to almost turn away from

1772
01:39:13,439 --> 01:39:17,559
Speaker 1: the throw as he releases it in just remarkable ball placement.

1773
01:39:17,680 --> 01:39:20,599
Speaker 1: I mean sixty two yards. He talked about it before

1774
01:39:20,640 --> 01:39:24,200
Speaker 1: we came on, sixty two yards in the air, right

1775
01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:27,360
Speaker 1: on the money. And then we had a Gabe Davis

1776
01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:30,360
Speaker 1: drop but really that was about a fifty yard chuck

1777
01:39:30,439 --> 01:39:33,439
Speaker 1: down the field as well. Yeah, and the Gabe Davis drop,

1778
01:39:33,479 --> 01:39:35,680
Speaker 1: it looked like the guy was gonna get his hand

1779
01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:37,320
Speaker 1: on it. He never touched and I think that's what

1780
01:39:37,439 --> 01:39:40,360
Speaker 1: got got Gabe. You know, if you think you're gonna

1781
01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:43,080
Speaker 1: have to justus to it at the last instant and

1782
01:39:43,120 --> 01:39:44,680
Speaker 1: it never had and you don't have to, and it

1783
01:39:44,760 --> 01:39:48,559
Speaker 1: ends up costing you the the catch that yeah, that

1784
01:39:48,640 --> 01:39:52,880
Speaker 1: catch would have made what was probably a disappointing day

1785
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:55,559
Speaker 1: for Gabe Davis and would have made it into a

1786
01:39:55,600 --> 01:39:59,840
Speaker 1: pretty nice day. It would have. And you know, Josh

1787
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:03,639
Speaker 1: at him a little wide on a play that Gabe

1788
01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:06,960
Speaker 1: Davis normally tiptoes and you know it. He was three

1789
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:09,120
Speaker 1: for ten throwing to Gabe Davis. That's not what you

1790
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:12,920
Speaker 1: want out of your number two receiver, but you're very

1791
01:40:12,960 --> 01:40:17,439
Speaker 1: close to getting him up to on par where where

1792
01:40:17,479 --> 01:40:19,000
Speaker 1: you want him to be. At this point of the season.

1793
01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:21,080
Speaker 1: The Bills have so many different weapons. I feel like

1794
01:40:21,080 --> 01:40:22,760
Speaker 1: each and every week we talk about how one of

1795
01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:24,439
Speaker 1: the strengths of the game, one of the positives the

1796
01:40:24,479 --> 01:40:27,719
Speaker 1: game is how many different receivers, how many different Bills

1797
01:40:27,720 --> 01:40:30,120
Speaker 1: skill position, playvers caught the ball in the game. I

1798
01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:32,880
Speaker 1: believe it was eight again this year this week, and

1799
01:40:32,920 --> 01:40:36,880
Speaker 1: so it's yes, Diggs is the bona fide number one receiver,

1800
01:40:37,040 --> 01:40:40,600
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen proves time and time again that you

1801
01:40:40,640 --> 01:40:42,599
Speaker 1: know he trusts him. And even though the other team

1802
01:40:42,920 --> 01:40:44,680
Speaker 1: knows that the ball is going to Diggs, that they

1803
01:40:44,720 --> 01:40:48,200
Speaker 1: can still execute. But there's just so many weapons that

1804
01:40:48,240 --> 01:40:51,120
Speaker 1: the Bills can throw at you offensively, between Dawson knocks,

1805
01:40:51,120 --> 01:40:53,760
Speaker 1: between the backside of the backfield, you know, Morris and

1806
01:40:53,800 --> 01:40:57,720
Speaker 1: Gilliam at times this year, and then the array of receivers.

1807
01:40:58,080 --> 01:41:00,400
Speaker 1: They just have a lot of different ways they can

1808
01:41:00,400 --> 01:41:02,680
Speaker 1: attack a defense. Right now, we talked about the run game,

1809
01:41:02,720 --> 01:41:05,320
Speaker 1: we talked about the short stuff, the deep balls over

1810
01:41:05,360 --> 01:41:09,519
Speaker 1: the top. There's a reason, you know, we've picked apart

1811
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:12,240
Speaker 1: this Bill's offense at times this year. The turnovers had

1812
01:41:12,240 --> 01:41:14,519
Speaker 1: been an issue at times this year. Early in the season,

1813
01:41:14,560 --> 01:41:18,800
Speaker 1: the red zone offense was an issue, and we've critiqued

1814
01:41:18,840 --> 01:41:20,920
Speaker 1: it very hard because you come into the season with

1815
01:41:20,960 --> 01:41:25,360
Speaker 1: a unanimous Super Bowl favorite. But quietly they're top five

1816
01:41:25,439 --> 01:41:28,960
Speaker 1: in yards per game, they're top two and scoring, I believe,

1817
01:41:29,280 --> 01:41:32,240
Speaker 1: and so the offense put together a pretty nice season.

1818
01:41:32,360 --> 01:41:35,519
Speaker 1: Number one in the NFL and third down conversions climb

1819
01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:38,120
Speaker 1: all the way up to entering yesterday number ten in

1820
01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:41,599
Speaker 1: the league in red zone offense. And so as much

1821
01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:44,240
Speaker 1: as we've been critical of the offense at times this year,

1822
01:41:44,520 --> 01:41:48,040
Speaker 1: they put together a nice season. You mentioned Dawson Knox.

1823
01:41:48,400 --> 01:41:51,000
Speaker 1: It's four straight games with a touchdown. Now, Eric, as

1824
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:54,920
Speaker 1: you well know is you know they're looking for a

1825
01:41:55,000 --> 01:41:58,960
Speaker 1: bonifide number two option. They want like a proven number

1826
01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:02,439
Speaker 1: three option. Maybe it is a rotating type deal for

1827
01:42:02,520 --> 01:42:05,200
Speaker 1: that third option. It's a different guy every week. But

1828
01:42:05,240 --> 01:42:07,920
Speaker 1: if Dawson Knox can give you a touchdown catch every week,

1829
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:11,080
Speaker 1: that's almost good enough from the tight end position in

1830
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:13,080
Speaker 1: terms of what you're looking for in this offense. Right.

1831
01:42:14,040 --> 01:42:15,479
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, if you'll could just give us

1832
01:42:15,479 --> 01:42:18,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown every week, that'd be great. Get sixteen seventeen

1833
01:42:18,080 --> 01:42:20,640
Speaker 1: of them on the ear, that'd be awesome. But and

1834
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm being facetious there, but no, he's played great as

1835
01:42:23,120 --> 01:42:25,599
Speaker 1: of late. He stays alive well, and you know, when

1836
01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:28,479
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a receiver and this Bill's offense, you

1837
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:31,839
Speaker 1: have to stay alive. Well, that was actually a breaking

1838
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:34,040
Speaker 1: out route to the left side of the field, and

1839
01:42:34,120 --> 01:42:36,479
Speaker 1: as the play kind of broke down and Josh kind

1840
01:42:36,520 --> 01:42:39,479
Speaker 1: of gotten scramble mode, Dawson just came back to the

1841
01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:41,920
Speaker 1: middle of the field. It's amazing to me too, as

1842
01:42:41,920 --> 01:42:45,000
Speaker 1: they get into this like scramble mode, how Josh just

1843
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:46,880
Speaker 1: rips that ball to the middle of the field though

1844
01:42:47,200 --> 01:42:51,000
Speaker 1: they're right as he sees Dawson open like not like

1845
01:42:51,080 --> 01:42:53,120
Speaker 1: he must have known that. Well, I guess they're in

1846
01:42:53,160 --> 01:42:56,400
Speaker 1: man coverage, so it's someone's not peeling off. But man,

1847
01:42:56,400 --> 01:42:58,960
Speaker 1: when you make those quick decisions on the move like that,

1848
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:01,280
Speaker 1: there's times, you know, I've seen it happen to many

1849
01:43:01,360 --> 01:43:04,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks where you rip that someone steps in front of

1850
01:43:04,240 --> 01:43:07,000
Speaker 1: it and you look like a fool. But Josh, this

1851
01:43:07,160 --> 01:43:09,840
Speaker 1: is just so good on the move. He's a number

1852
01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:14,240
Speaker 1: one quarterback in the NFL, rated by Quarterback Rating one

1853
01:43:14,400 --> 01:43:17,040
Speaker 1: under pressure, number one in the NFL, and so you

1854
01:43:17,160 --> 01:43:19,200
Speaker 1: get to him and then he could still light you

1855
01:43:19,280 --> 01:43:23,599
Speaker 1: up and avoid the free rushers. It's just it's impressible watch.

1856
01:43:23,640 --> 01:43:27,120
Speaker 1: But getting back to the topic of a bona fide

1857
01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:30,360
Speaker 1: number two, a number three option, and look, I haven't

1858
01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:32,760
Speaker 1: given up on Gabe Davis by any means. I know

1859
01:43:32,800 --> 01:43:35,759
Speaker 1: what he can do now. The ankle was an issue

1860
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:38,080
Speaker 1: for a lot of this year. We heard from Brandon

1861
01:43:38,080 --> 01:43:41,880
Speaker 1: Beaner Sean McDermot not that long ago that that was lingering.

1862
01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:46,840
Speaker 1: Maybe longer than that. Everyone else kind of knew about

1863
01:43:46,840 --> 01:43:50,960
Speaker 1: her assumed, and he's he's a big body receiver. He

1864
01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:55,479
Speaker 1: plays a significant role for this past This receiving room

1865
01:43:55,640 --> 01:43:58,040
Speaker 1: to be interesting to me to see who's up this week.

1866
01:43:58,080 --> 01:44:01,080
Speaker 1: Shakierre had a nice play yesterday. Isaiah McKenzie's made some

1867
01:44:01,200 --> 01:44:04,160
Speaker 1: nice plays in the last month or so. You have

1868
01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:06,920
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, you have John Brown. You know, you have

1869
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:10,559
Speaker 1: Diggs and Davis. Not all those guys play special teams.

1870
01:44:10,960 --> 01:44:13,800
Speaker 1: Who's gonna be up for this week against the Dolphins

1871
01:44:14,200 --> 01:44:16,080
Speaker 1: is going to be interesting to me. I would assume

1872
01:44:18,280 --> 01:44:21,000
Speaker 1: I would assume Cole. I would assume Cole Beasley. I

1873
01:44:21,120 --> 01:44:24,880
Speaker 1: think that he provides a little bit different element and

1874
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:27,360
Speaker 1: not that everyone can take the top off the defense

1875
01:44:27,400 --> 01:44:30,559
Speaker 1: like John Brown can. Cole Beasley to me just brings

1876
01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:34,080
Speaker 1: a little bit something different than maybe those other guys do.

1877
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:36,160
Speaker 1: I'd like to hear your guys thoughts on it. Yeah,

1878
01:44:36,280 --> 01:44:43,960
Speaker 1: it is an interesting question because you got Shakier mackenzie

1879
01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:47,960
Speaker 1: Davis and Diggs. They've got four active guys on the roster,

1880
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:50,000
Speaker 1: so then you throw on and now, in the last year,

1881
01:44:50,040 --> 01:44:53,680
Speaker 1: at times they had six every week. The last two

1882
01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:56,800
Speaker 1: years under Dable, they had six receivers active every single week.

1883
01:44:56,840 --> 01:44:59,040
Speaker 1: I'd bring them both up, right, Brown and I mean,

1884
01:44:59,040 --> 01:45:02,200
Speaker 1: you're unlimited number of elevations once you get to the postseason.

1885
01:45:02,680 --> 01:45:05,000
Speaker 1: I'd bring both up. I don't know what that means.

1886
01:45:05,000 --> 01:45:07,760
Speaker 1: And the other spots and the roster offensively or defensively,

1887
01:45:07,760 --> 01:45:10,720
Speaker 1: whether you know, bringing all those receivers up, you're right,

1888
01:45:10,840 --> 01:45:13,439
Speaker 1: special teams as a consideration because somebody can can they

1889
01:45:13,520 --> 01:45:18,240
Speaker 1: chase kicks and if you know you're not gonna you're

1890
01:45:18,280 --> 01:45:21,200
Speaker 1: not gonna sit down, you know, Mitch Morrison, Roger Saffol,

1891
01:45:21,200 --> 01:45:23,080
Speaker 1: because you need an extra receiver, I mean, right, so

1892
01:45:23,160 --> 01:45:27,559
Speaker 1: you got to have all those guys intact. U Yeah,

1893
01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:30,200
Speaker 1: it's an interesting problem. But last year they did it

1894
01:45:30,240 --> 01:45:31,960
Speaker 1: with six, and I think one of the things that's

1895
01:45:32,040 --> 01:45:34,559
Speaker 1: change in the equation a little bit would probably be hinds.

1896
01:45:35,360 --> 01:45:40,120
Speaker 1: They don't need a receiver to return kicks, you know.

1897
01:45:40,760 --> 01:45:43,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, exactly, because you had Micah Hide and

1898
01:45:43,640 --> 01:45:47,080
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie sharing those duties last year, So now you

1899
01:45:47,200 --> 01:45:50,639
Speaker 1: add Hinds to the mix. And you know Taiwan Jones

1900
01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:54,800
Speaker 1: was your third running back last year, I believe, and

1901
01:45:54,920 --> 01:46:00,960
Speaker 1: so that yeah, Matt Brida, Yeah, yeah, yeah, It'll be

1902
01:46:00,960 --> 01:46:02,640
Speaker 1: interesting to see how it plays out. And I know

1903
01:46:02,720 --> 01:46:07,320
Speaker 1: it was one catch yesterday, but similarly to how James

1904
01:46:07,360 --> 01:46:10,120
Speaker 1: Cook just looks faster on the field now that the

1905
01:46:10,200 --> 01:46:12,439
Speaker 1: game has slowed down for him. I know it was

1906
01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:15,360
Speaker 1: one catch, but Shakier looked a lot more sudden with

1907
01:46:15,400 --> 01:46:17,720
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands yesterday. Got up there. You know.

1908
01:46:17,920 --> 01:46:19,880
Speaker 1: It wasn't oh my gosh, I caught the football in

1909
01:46:19,880 --> 01:46:22,960
Speaker 1: the National Football League, Okay, let's not make a mistake.

1910
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:24,880
Speaker 1: It was how do I go make a play here?

1911
01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:29,200
Speaker 1: Get up the field, make a move. I was encouraged

1912
01:46:29,200 --> 01:46:31,920
Speaker 1: by that. Yeah, hopefully there's some player development that's been

1913
01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:33,840
Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes on that end and he

1914
01:46:33,840 --> 01:46:37,160
Speaker 1: gets more opportunities going forward here. And I wouldn't dismiss

1915
01:46:37,200 --> 01:46:40,439
Speaker 1: this either. Cole Beasley came in here, you know, about

1916
01:46:40,439 --> 01:46:44,280
Speaker 1: six seven weeks ago. That guy's also in Shakier's ear

1917
01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:46,879
Speaker 1: at practice every day too, maybe teaching him the nuances

1918
01:46:46,880 --> 01:46:49,479
Speaker 1: of where to sit down against zone coverage and things

1919
01:46:49,520 --> 01:46:51,280
Speaker 1: like that, and maybe we're seeing the fruits of that

1920
01:46:51,360 --> 01:46:55,639
Speaker 1: labor as well. So hopefully that continues and we get

1921
01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:59,920
Speaker 1: more out of Shakir going forward defensively, Eric, you know,

1922
01:47:00,120 --> 01:47:03,480
Speaker 1: I know you commented on some of coach Frasier's decisions

1923
01:47:03,520 --> 01:47:06,559
Speaker 1: in terms of pressures and went to send extra help

1924
01:47:06,920 --> 01:47:09,920
Speaker 1: late in the game. He backs off and they get

1925
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:12,040
Speaker 1: two picks as a result. What do you think of

1926
01:47:12,040 --> 01:47:15,880
Speaker 1: the mixing and matching a coach Frasier? Yeah, so just

1927
01:47:16,320 --> 01:47:19,439
Speaker 1: knowing this coaching staff and following that, you know, I

1928
01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:23,360
Speaker 1: played under them, not this offensive staff. Played under this

1929
01:47:23,400 --> 01:47:25,720
Speaker 1: coaching staff for one year and then have followed them

1930
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:29,080
Speaker 1: since and covered them for the last four years. They

1931
01:47:29,160 --> 01:47:34,160
Speaker 1: often will attack analytically your weakness and so Mac Jones

1932
01:47:34,240 --> 01:47:37,479
Speaker 1: one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL against the Blitz.

1933
01:47:37,800 --> 01:47:40,160
Speaker 1: So the Bills break a lot of their tendencies and

1934
01:47:40,200 --> 01:47:42,559
Speaker 1: they brought more pressure. Now that could also be because

1935
01:47:43,040 --> 01:47:46,639
Speaker 1: now you're on your fourth safety back there with Hamlin

1936
01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:50,479
Speaker 1: and hideout. How does that affect things? So maybe you

1937
01:47:50,560 --> 01:47:53,559
Speaker 1: bring guys more to leave them less time on the

1938
01:47:53,560 --> 01:47:56,120
Speaker 1: back end. Regardless, they brought a lot of pressure in

1939
01:47:56,200 --> 01:47:59,680
Speaker 1: the game yesterday. It seemed like either Taran Tremaine or

1940
01:48:00,040 --> 01:48:04,040
Speaker 1: Lana was coming on half the snaps. And I love

1941
01:48:04,160 --> 01:48:07,240
Speaker 1: the one double a gap blitz look where they had

1942
01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:09,479
Speaker 1: six guys with the line of scrimmage can completely confuse

1943
01:48:09,560 --> 01:48:14,559
Speaker 1: the Patriots and caused an easy third down stop. And

1944
01:48:14,600 --> 01:48:17,400
Speaker 1: so you don't get a lot of that variety from

1945
01:48:17,520 --> 01:48:20,400
Speaker 1: the Bill's defense. They've gotten away from that. They did

1946
01:48:20,400 --> 01:48:23,080
Speaker 1: it a lot more early in their tenure here in

1947
01:48:23,080 --> 01:48:26,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo because they've gotten some good pass rush out of

1948
01:48:26,360 --> 01:48:28,439
Speaker 1: the four man rush, and then they've just they're so

1949
01:48:28,560 --> 01:48:31,280
Speaker 1: consistent on the back end that they don't need to

1950
01:48:31,280 --> 01:48:33,120
Speaker 1: be that confusing to be able to get stops and

1951
01:48:33,160 --> 01:48:35,000
Speaker 1: be one of the best third down defenses in the NFL.

1952
01:48:35,080 --> 01:48:38,040
Speaker 1: That being said, they did utilize a lot of different

1953
01:48:38,760 --> 01:48:42,400
Speaker 1: pressures yesterday, and I don't know if that's something that

1954
01:48:42,439 --> 01:48:45,200
Speaker 1: continues or if they simply just were going off the

1955
01:48:45,240 --> 01:48:48,160
Speaker 1: fact that, Hey, we gotta make Mac Jones prove that

1956
01:48:48,200 --> 01:48:50,439
Speaker 1: he could beat us and prove that he can beat

1957
01:48:50,439 --> 01:48:52,880
Speaker 1: the blitz. Why not try it. It's a copycat league.

1958
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:56,040
Speaker 1: Let's see if he can do it. And I'll say this,

1959
01:48:56,120 --> 01:48:58,960
Speaker 1: Mac had some good plays yesterday. Davante Parker is an

1960
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:01,920
Speaker 1: extremely talented receiver. He was the number eleven overall pick

1961
01:49:02,240 --> 01:49:05,240
Speaker 1: as a twenty year old for a reason. He's he's

1962
01:49:05,280 --> 01:49:08,400
Speaker 1: a He's a big bodied receiver with a ton of athleticism.

1963
01:49:08,680 --> 01:49:11,920
Speaker 1: Put it on display yesterday and made some nice plays

1964
01:49:11,960 --> 01:49:14,519
Speaker 1: on the outside. Well you look at at the game,

1965
01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:16,599
Speaker 1: you say, yeah, Mac did play well. He was twenty

1966
01:49:16,680 --> 01:49:19,320
Speaker 1: six to forty. He was thirteen to sixteen at halftime.

1967
01:49:20,240 --> 01:49:23,519
Speaker 1: So the Bills, I think rightfully. So, I mean, if

1968
01:49:23,520 --> 01:49:25,559
Speaker 1: you're gonna make him throw at forty times, that's kind

1969
01:49:25,560 --> 01:49:27,760
Speaker 1: of what you want from the Patriots offense, right, But

1970
01:49:28,200 --> 01:49:32,040
Speaker 1: mac Jones made him almost made him pay for it. Yeah,

1971
01:49:32,040 --> 01:49:34,080
Speaker 1: he did, and he was efficient. You know, they had

1972
01:49:34,360 --> 01:49:36,400
Speaker 1: a couple of third and shorts. They had the fourth

1973
01:49:36,439 --> 01:49:39,320
Speaker 1: and one where they threw play action and got some

1974
01:49:39,400 --> 01:49:42,799
Speaker 1: chunk plays there. They utilize some checkdowns the Hunter Henry

1975
01:49:43,120 --> 01:49:46,160
Speaker 1: and then the big plays went to DeVante Parker um

1976
01:49:47,040 --> 01:49:49,599
Speaker 1: and then you know Born had a couple of catches.

1977
01:49:50,160 --> 01:49:55,599
Speaker 1: Uh thorn Hill? Is it Thornhill? He had a nice

1978
01:49:55,600 --> 01:50:00,439
Speaker 1: play regardless. You know, a h mac Joe was a

1979
01:50:00,520 --> 01:50:03,240
Speaker 1: fishing yesterday. I thought I thought he looked a lot

1980
01:50:03,320 --> 01:50:06,040
Speaker 1: better yesterday. Than he did in that Thursday night game.

1981
01:50:06,320 --> 01:50:09,240
Speaker 1: And I'll give the Patriots offensive line credit. They did

1982
01:50:09,240 --> 01:50:11,640
Speaker 1: a better job protecting him in the last game in

1983
01:50:11,720 --> 01:50:15,400
Speaker 1: Foxboro mac Jones even though I believe he was sacked

1984
01:50:16,280 --> 01:50:19,920
Speaker 1: two or three times, just constant pressure in his face

1985
01:50:20,080 --> 01:50:22,880
Speaker 1: that didn't allow him to have any type of rhythm

1986
01:50:22,960 --> 01:50:26,000
Speaker 1: back there in the pocket. Yeah. I'm one other thing too.

1987
01:50:26,040 --> 01:50:31,000
Speaker 1: I with this Patriot team the way it's currently constructed,

1988
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:33,120
Speaker 1: and now for the first time in a long time,

1989
01:50:33,160 --> 01:50:35,640
Speaker 1: they're not in the postseason. All right, it seems like

1990
01:50:35,640 --> 01:50:38,760
Speaker 1: the first time in a long time. How do you

1991
01:50:38,840 --> 01:50:41,800
Speaker 1: think that matchup's gonna go in the future. This is

1992
01:50:41,800 --> 01:50:46,000
Speaker 1: a they're gonna Bill Belichick's over seven We've been talking

1993
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:48,760
Speaker 1: about this off the air. Bill Pelichick's over seventy years old.

1994
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:52,000
Speaker 1: It was an absolute train wreck of a season by

1995
01:50:52,040 --> 01:50:58,200
Speaker 1: their standards. Offensively, it was not good enough. Although you

1996
01:50:58,200 --> 01:51:00,960
Speaker 1: know now they creeped up. Mac Jones's actually played pretty

1997
01:51:00,960 --> 01:51:04,040
Speaker 1: well until those last three drives where well the last

1998
01:51:04,040 --> 01:51:08,000
Speaker 1: two where he got tipped interceptions which weren't horrific throws

1999
01:51:08,080 --> 01:51:12,719
Speaker 1: or horrific decisions. He just didn't wasn't quite there. If

2000
01:51:12,720 --> 01:51:16,920
Speaker 1: this was anybody but the Patriots, there's some you know,

2001
01:51:16,920 --> 01:51:22,759
Speaker 1: there's some people out of the building, right, Yeah, especially

2002
01:51:22,760 --> 01:51:25,439
Speaker 1: on that offensive staff. I think it's bad news for

2003
01:51:25,479 --> 01:51:28,160
Speaker 1: them that my guy Dan Orlovsky's really good at breaking

2004
01:51:28,160 --> 01:51:33,519
Speaker 1: down plays and exposing some deficiencies within some coaching staffs,

2005
01:51:33,560 --> 01:51:36,920
Speaker 1: and he was pretty hard on that offensive system, whether

2006
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:42,720
Speaker 1: it's Joe Brady or whether it's Matt Patricia over their

2007
01:51:42,720 --> 01:51:45,599
Speaker 1: calling plays. It was. It was ugly at times this year,

2008
01:51:45,680 --> 01:51:47,760
Speaker 1: you know, just times where there wasn't a lot of

2009
01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:50,439
Speaker 1: answers for Mac back there and so going to be

2010
01:51:50,439 --> 01:51:52,400
Speaker 1: interesting moving forward what they do with the offense side

2011
01:51:52,400 --> 01:51:56,080
Speaker 1: of the ball, you know, is Mac Jones. In my opinion,

2012
01:51:56,360 --> 01:51:58,599
Speaker 1: when you approach a season, you either have a quarterback

2013
01:51:58,600 --> 01:51:59,960
Speaker 1: that can win you a super Bowl or you can't.

2014
01:52:00,800 --> 01:52:03,320
Speaker 1: You drafted him in the first round, You'll likely give

2015
01:52:03,360 --> 01:52:05,719
Speaker 1: him another year, you see him in a different offensive system,

2016
01:52:05,760 --> 01:52:08,760
Speaker 1: likely see what you can get from Mac Jones. But

2017
01:52:08,800 --> 01:52:10,519
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to be elite I believe you're gonna

2018
01:52:10,520 --> 01:52:14,000
Speaker 1: have to be elite elsewhere around in Mac Jones. Well,

2019
01:52:14,240 --> 01:52:17,320
Speaker 1: once he starts getting paid, do you have the money

2020
01:52:17,400 --> 01:52:20,800
Speaker 1: to be elite outside? You know around Mac Jones and

2021
01:52:20,840 --> 01:52:23,800
Speaker 1: so now are you moving on from a quarterback? And

2022
01:52:23,920 --> 01:52:26,519
Speaker 1: this is the cycle. You know, when you miss on

2023
01:52:26,600 --> 01:52:29,759
Speaker 1: that first round quarterback, it sets you back for a while.

2024
01:52:30,040 --> 01:52:32,320
Speaker 1: Otherwise you're going out in free agency and hoping you

2025
01:52:32,640 --> 01:52:35,479
Speaker 1: hit the lottery out a guy that someone else didn't

2026
01:52:35,479 --> 01:52:38,200
Speaker 1: want to pay. And so this is you know, the

2027
01:52:38,280 --> 01:52:43,200
Speaker 1: Patriots are in that. They're in the two thousands, the

2028
01:52:43,320 --> 01:52:46,479
Speaker 1: twenty tens, Buffalo Bill stage where you might not have

2029
01:52:46,520 --> 01:52:49,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback. You got a pretty talented roster. You're sitting

2030
01:52:49,160 --> 01:52:52,280
Speaker 1: around five hundred each year close to it, you know,

2031
01:52:52,360 --> 01:52:54,160
Speaker 1: those years where we're nine and seven, eight and eight,

2032
01:52:54,200 --> 01:52:56,880
Speaker 1: seven and nine, you're close, but you probably don't have

2033
01:52:56,920 --> 01:52:59,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Sometimes you got to bottom out, or you

2034
01:52:59,120 --> 01:53:01,400
Speaker 1: gotta make some trades to get up high enough in

2035
01:53:01,439 --> 01:53:04,000
Speaker 1: the draft, like the Bills did with Josh Allen. But

2036
01:53:04,280 --> 01:53:06,280
Speaker 1: they're in the situation the Bills were when we were

2037
01:53:06,320 --> 01:53:08,360
Speaker 1: sitting there each and every season, say what do we

2038
01:53:08,400 --> 01:53:10,720
Speaker 1: have to do to beat the New England Patriots when

2039
01:53:10,720 --> 01:53:12,960
Speaker 1: they had Gronk and Hernandez. It was we need to

2040
01:53:12,960 --> 01:53:15,400
Speaker 1: get more athletic a linebacker, we need better safeties, we

2041
01:53:15,479 --> 01:53:18,320
Speaker 1: need a pass rush. You know, offensively, we're gonna have

2042
01:53:18,360 --> 01:53:21,920
Speaker 1: to score with them. Then it's the Bills in Kansas City. Now,

2043
01:53:21,960 --> 01:53:23,840
Speaker 1: how do you catch them? And then you're you know,

2044
01:53:23,880 --> 01:53:26,360
Speaker 1: if you're the Patriots, you're immediately looking into the division.

2045
01:53:26,640 --> 01:53:29,280
Speaker 1: How do we get over the hump? Yeah right, I'm

2046
01:53:29,320 --> 01:53:31,719
Speaker 1: glad they have that to do list now personally, that's

2047
01:53:31,760 --> 01:53:37,080
Speaker 1: just me. Yes, let's spin it forward to this wild

2048
01:53:37,160 --> 01:53:41,200
Speaker 1: card game coming up Sunday at one Eric Bills, Dolphins

2049
01:53:41,439 --> 01:53:47,000
Speaker 1: and Miami. It was just reported earlier Raheem Mostard busted

2050
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:49,920
Speaker 1: his thumb in the game over the weekend against the Jets.

2051
01:53:50,240 --> 01:53:54,400
Speaker 1: His availability is now up in the air. Certainly. You know,

2052
01:53:54,600 --> 01:53:57,759
Speaker 1: players players at certain positions can play with a busted thumb.

2053
01:53:57,920 --> 01:54:01,200
Speaker 1: Running backs pretty tough, so it's gonna be interesting to

2054
01:54:01,200 --> 01:54:04,840
Speaker 1: see how he makes his way through the week. And

2055
01:54:04,880 --> 01:54:08,200
Speaker 1: then you have their offensive tackle position, which has been

2056
01:54:08,240 --> 01:54:12,759
Speaker 1: a revolving door the last several weeks. Yesterday against the Jets,

2057
01:54:12,800 --> 01:54:16,280
Speaker 1: it's Greg Little at left tackle, Brandon Shell at right tackle.

2058
01:54:16,600 --> 01:54:19,280
Speaker 1: The availability of Toronto Armstead is very much up in

2059
01:54:19,280 --> 01:54:21,720
Speaker 1: the air. Buffalo's pass rush is going to have to

2060
01:54:21,760 --> 01:54:24,720
Speaker 1: bring it no matter who's at quarterback. If those two

2061
01:54:24,760 --> 01:54:29,360
Speaker 1: guys are starting again this week. Yeah, definitely, And that's

2062
01:54:29,439 --> 01:54:31,920
Speaker 1: where when you get the playoff time, each and every

2063
01:54:31,920 --> 01:54:34,440
Speaker 1: team around the league has injuries, and so you have

2064
01:54:34,480 --> 01:54:37,320
Speaker 1: to overcome in other areas. And you know, when you

2065
01:54:37,320 --> 01:54:39,760
Speaker 1: look at most he had a great game against the Bills,

2066
01:54:39,760 --> 01:54:43,080
Speaker 1: but Wilson had been more productive than most are coming

2067
01:54:43,120 --> 01:54:45,360
Speaker 1: into that game and he missed the game with an injury,

2068
01:54:45,680 --> 01:54:48,280
Speaker 1: and so you know, they still have a quality running back.

2069
01:54:48,320 --> 01:54:50,200
Speaker 1: You could probably play and just carry the ball on

2070
01:54:50,240 --> 01:54:52,800
Speaker 1: the other hand, but then you know you always want

2071
01:54:52,800 --> 01:54:55,600
Speaker 1: that ball facing on the outside on the sideline. Is

2072
01:54:55,640 --> 01:54:59,200
Speaker 1: fumbling an issue, and so yeah, it's this is a

2073
01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:01,720
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins team that is reeling right now. And the

2074
01:55:01,760 --> 01:55:05,560
Speaker 1: point spread that was announced last night reflects it. It's

2075
01:55:05,600 --> 01:55:08,240
Speaker 1: a you know, a double digit spread in a playoff game.

2076
01:55:08,280 --> 01:55:12,080
Speaker 1: Those don't happen very often. It's because this Dolphins team,

2077
01:55:12,720 --> 01:55:15,560
Speaker 1: you know, especially since this Tuta injury. You know, they

2078
01:55:15,600 --> 01:55:18,160
Speaker 1: played the Bills tough in Orchard Park. Give them credit.

2079
01:55:18,480 --> 01:55:22,920
Speaker 1: They hadn't looked that great prior and they've looked terrible since. Yeah,

2080
01:55:22,960 --> 01:55:27,320
Speaker 1: and that's kind of everything's kind of in limbo until

2081
01:55:27,320 --> 01:55:29,320
Speaker 1: you find out who's gonna be taken snaps for the

2082
01:55:29,360 --> 01:55:32,040
Speaker 1: Dolphins and this game. You know, it's a ten and

2083
01:55:32,040 --> 01:55:34,600
Speaker 1: a half or eleven point spread. Right now, they're the

2084
01:55:34,600 --> 01:55:37,320
Speaker 1: biggest underdog in the playoffs. And that's with as since

2085
01:55:37,400 --> 01:55:44,280
Speaker 1: a Seahawks team that backed in so huge amount of

2086
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:48,600
Speaker 1: question marks coming out of there. Plus if this it

2087
01:55:48,720 --> 01:55:52,160
Speaker 1: seemed too there was a huge amount of speculation. If

2088
01:55:52,160 --> 01:55:58,000
Speaker 1: the Dolphins don't beat the Jets yesterday, that whole building

2089
01:55:58,040 --> 01:56:00,360
Speaker 1: is gonna get cleaned out again. And they're gonna make

2090
01:56:00,400 --> 01:56:02,080
Speaker 1: a play for Sean Payton, They're gonna make a play

2091
01:56:02,080 --> 01:56:04,040
Speaker 1: for Tom Brady, They're gonna do all They're just gonna

2092
01:56:04,080 --> 01:56:07,000
Speaker 1: go the way that um, you know, they're just gonna

2093
01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:09,600
Speaker 1: clean house again. They were, they're twenty four hours from

2094
01:56:09,640 --> 01:56:14,360
Speaker 1: that today and now you know they're in the playoffs. Yeah,

2095
01:56:14,400 --> 01:56:16,680
Speaker 1: that's that's big market talk. I know Miami's not the

2096
01:56:16,680 --> 01:56:20,960
Speaker 1: most passionate fan base, but actually I shouldn't say that.

2097
01:56:21,080 --> 01:56:22,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot to do in Miami. There's a lot

2098
01:56:22,800 --> 01:56:25,920
Speaker 1: of people. They packed, they have a lot of Dolphins fans,

2099
01:56:25,920 --> 01:56:30,800
Speaker 1: But that's a big market down there. That that's I know,

2100
01:56:30,840 --> 01:56:34,000
Speaker 1: you finished the season in a terrible way, and ever

2101
01:56:34,120 --> 01:56:39,520
Speaker 1: since that Week three Thursday night game, Cincinnati to h

2102
01:56:40,040 --> 01:56:43,800
Speaker 1: It's been an up and down season from there, up

2103
01:56:43,840 --> 01:56:48,440
Speaker 1: then down, I'll say. But man, Mike McDaniel, I feel

2104
01:56:48,480 --> 01:56:51,160
Speaker 1: like it did a great job down there this year.

2105
01:56:51,240 --> 01:56:55,720
Speaker 1: I mean, they brought an exciting brand of football to Miami.

2106
01:56:55,800 --> 01:56:59,360
Speaker 1: Down there, twa did not look great prior to McDaniel

2107
01:56:59,360 --> 01:57:01,880
Speaker 1: getting there, and he's made two of look pretty good.

2108
01:57:01,880 --> 01:57:04,840
Speaker 1: To have those studs on the outside and Waddle and Hill,

2109
01:57:04,880 --> 01:57:08,040
Speaker 1: it's an exciting brand of ball. Defensively, they're pretty solid.

2110
01:57:09,200 --> 01:57:11,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be I wouldn't be rushing to make a

2111
01:57:11,200 --> 01:57:14,120
Speaker 1: coaching change down there, that's for sure. Eric, thanks as

2112

2124
01:58:04,760 --> 01:58:07,920
Speaker 1: gonna be like three weeks because yeah, you got marooned

2125
01:58:07,920 --> 01:58:11,240
Speaker 1: in Chicago. We got stuck in couldn't get back, which

2126
01:58:11,280 --> 01:58:13,760
Speaker 1: was it was fine to be stuck in Chicago. That's

2127
01:58:13,760 --> 01:58:16,400
Speaker 1: where my family lives, right And then we had there

2128
01:58:16,440 --> 01:58:18,520
Speaker 1: was another snap food that we had and we couldn't

2129
01:58:18,560 --> 01:58:21,240
Speaker 1: get you in here. So welcome back here for the

2130
01:58:21,280 --> 01:58:25,160
Speaker 1: Maddie Awards, which are presented by Energy Mark, the official

2131
01:58:25,320 --> 01:58:29,720
Speaker 1: energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills. Kick it off, Maddie,

2132
01:58:29,760 --> 01:58:33,680
Speaker 1: Let's get this thing rolling, no pun intended kick it off?

2133
01:58:34,840 --> 01:58:37,360
Speaker 1: Are we doing something that's good? I see what you

2134
01:58:37,400 --> 01:58:41,080
Speaker 1: did there, you funny guy. Poetic justice is our first

2135
01:58:41,120 --> 01:58:43,560
Speaker 1: award and that's going to and Nheim Hines for his

2136
01:58:43,720 --> 01:58:47,760
Speaker 1: opening kickoff return for a touchdown. I mean, you couldn't

2137
01:58:47,800 --> 01:58:51,120
Speaker 1: have scripted this any better. The fact that it happened

2138
01:58:51,200 --> 01:58:54,440
Speaker 1: three years and three months after the Bill's last kickoff

2139
01:58:54,440 --> 01:58:58,000
Speaker 1: return touchdown, of course, that's how it happened. We've seen

2140
01:58:58,120 --> 01:59:01,480
Speaker 1: threes all over the place in honor of Damar Hamlin

2141
01:59:01,560 --> 01:59:03,960
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen said the moment was spiritual and it

2142
01:59:04,040 --> 01:59:06,640
Speaker 1: was bone chilling. I think we all fell to that

2143
01:59:06,720 --> 01:59:09,520
Speaker 1: emotion in a high Mark stadium when that happened. I

2144
01:59:09,640 --> 01:59:12,320
Speaker 1: had tears in my eyes, so did Steve right next

2145
01:59:12,360 --> 01:59:14,840
Speaker 1: to me during the game. We are always emotional when

2146
01:59:14,840 --> 01:59:17,760
Speaker 1: we're together watching watching the games, and I think there

2147
01:59:17,840 --> 01:59:22,160
Speaker 1: was also a collective exhale after that play, like, okay,

2148
01:59:22,280 --> 01:59:25,120
Speaker 1: we made it to this moment and scored a touchdown

2149
01:59:25,200 --> 01:59:27,960
Speaker 1: on the first opportunity that the Bills had in honor

2150
01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:30,160
Speaker 1: of Damar Hamlin. I think it's a moment that a

2151
01:59:30,160 --> 01:59:33,760
Speaker 1: lot of people, these players will never ever ever forget

2152
01:59:33,840 --> 01:59:37,960
Speaker 1: in their life. And it wasn't just one, it was two.

2153
01:59:38,120 --> 01:59:41,160
Speaker 1: He's never had a kickoff return touchdown in his career

2154
01:59:41,480 --> 01:59:43,920
Speaker 1: and he goes off and has two in a game

2155
01:59:44,560 --> 01:59:47,720
Speaker 1: very very important because you take those two away, it

2156
01:59:47,760 --> 01:59:49,640
Speaker 1: would have been a different game for the best, very

2157
01:59:49,680 --> 01:59:52,640
Speaker 1: much so, very much so. And then and then I

2158
01:59:52,680 --> 01:59:55,000
Speaker 1: knew you would do this. But the next award is

2159
01:59:55,040 --> 01:59:57,680
Speaker 1: the Tone Senter Award, Tone Centers going to our guy,

2160
01:59:57,760 --> 02:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Damar Hamlin. The moment, moments, the hours right after that

2161
02:00:02,120 --> 02:00:06,760
Speaker 1: Monday night game after DeMar Hamlin collapsed, it was a

2162
02:00:06,880 --> 02:00:10,920
Speaker 1: terrible tone. I think for everybody, it was what's going

2163
02:00:10,960 --> 02:00:13,480
Speaker 1: to happen? How was he doing? So much concern? And

2164
02:00:13,520 --> 02:00:16,040
Speaker 1: then we started to get these great updates, and I

2165
02:00:16,040 --> 02:00:19,880
Speaker 1: think we were living off of every good update that

2166
02:00:19,920 --> 02:00:23,160
Speaker 1: we got from the doctors and the spirits that it

2167
02:00:23,280 --> 02:00:26,640
Speaker 1: lifted for the players and for everybody in the building

2168
02:00:26,720 --> 02:00:29,960
Speaker 1: to see the smiles grow and grow and grow with

2169
02:00:30,040 --> 02:00:33,120
Speaker 1: every good update we got about Tomar Hamlin to him

2170
02:00:33,120 --> 02:00:36,600
Speaker 1: saying I love you boys to his teammates on Friday

2171
02:00:36,640 --> 02:00:40,280
Speaker 1: afternoon over FaceTime, and then the team responding in the

2172
02:00:40,320 --> 02:00:43,760
Speaker 1: way that they did, beating the Patriots thirty five to

2173
02:00:43,880 --> 02:00:47,560
Speaker 1: twenty three. The atmosphere in the stadium was something that

2174
02:00:47,600 --> 02:00:49,920
Speaker 1: I want to bottle up for the rest of my

2175
02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:53,880
Speaker 1: life because it was incredible. And DeMar Hamlin was the

2176
02:00:53,920 --> 02:00:57,520
Speaker 1: tone setter. He set the tone with the updates that

2177
02:00:57,560 --> 02:00:59,880
Speaker 1: we received. He set the tone with how he was

2178
02:01:00,080 --> 02:01:03,840
Speaker 1: able to progress over the week. Just less than a

2179
02:01:03,880 --> 02:01:06,680
Speaker 1: week after he collapses on the field, he is up

2180
02:01:06,720 --> 02:01:10,520
Speaker 1: watching his teammates from his hospital bed, tweeting about the

2181
02:01:10,600 --> 02:01:15,640
Speaker 1: game live tweeting, and then afterwards he breaks down the

2182
02:01:15,680 --> 02:01:19,680
Speaker 1: team huddle with his teammates. It was sheer joy being

2183
02:01:19,720 --> 02:01:22,120
Speaker 1: out there on the field playing again. I think for

2184
02:01:22,160 --> 02:01:24,520
Speaker 1: a lot of the Bills players and for the entire

2185
02:01:24,600 --> 02:01:27,280
Speaker 1: team to be back out there and to celebrate Damar,

2186
02:01:27,840 --> 02:01:29,680
Speaker 1: the game felt like a big party. It felt like

2187
02:01:29,680 --> 02:01:33,640
Speaker 1: a true celebration, and I hope that atmosphere continues this

2188
02:01:33,680 --> 02:01:36,200
Speaker 1: weekend when we host the Dolphins on Sunday. Yeah. I

2189
02:01:36,280 --> 02:01:38,920
Speaker 1: was telling Steve though. The crazy thing was you had

2190
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:41,520
Speaker 1: just especially on that opening kickoff, you had just as

2191
02:01:41,520 --> 02:01:44,080
Speaker 1: many people crying as you had cheering in the stay.

2192
02:01:44,080 --> 02:01:45,880
Speaker 1: I've never seen it. I Mean, it was almost a

2193
02:01:45,880 --> 02:01:51,560
Speaker 1: fifty fifty split. It was crazy. He's back. He's back.

2194
02:01:51,680 --> 02:01:56,280
Speaker 1: Tray Wide had a trade day, his first interception since

2195
02:01:56,320 --> 02:02:00,480
Speaker 1: returning from that ACL injury. Watching that interception and go

2196
02:02:00,560 --> 02:02:03,840
Speaker 1: down he ran the route of the receiver, you could

2197
02:02:03,840 --> 02:02:07,440
Speaker 1: tell his athleticism was on display when he made that

2198
02:02:07,520 --> 02:02:11,040
Speaker 1: interception when he caught that pass. Not an easy play

2199
02:02:11,120 --> 02:02:13,000
Speaker 1: to make with the way that his body was kind

2200
02:02:13,000 --> 02:02:15,360
Speaker 1: of twisted around and turned to be able to secure

2201
02:02:15,360 --> 02:02:18,440
Speaker 1: the ball. I mean, this happened when the Bills truly

2202
02:02:18,520 --> 02:02:20,160
Speaker 1: needed it. It It was the first drive of the third

2203
02:02:20,240 --> 02:02:23,080
Speaker 1: quarter the game was tied up fourteen fourteen, and the

2204
02:02:23,120 --> 02:02:26,360
Speaker 1: Patriots had a ten play drive going at this point,

2205
02:02:26,520 --> 02:02:28,720
Speaker 1: almost six minutes off of the clock. They were on

2206
02:02:28,760 --> 02:02:31,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo's twenty one yard line, basically in the red zone,

2207
02:02:31,760 --> 02:02:34,400
Speaker 1: and Trey White intercepts it in the end zone. The

2208
02:02:34,440 --> 02:02:37,760
Speaker 1: past was intended for Nelson Aglare, and it was unfortunate

2209
02:02:37,840 --> 02:02:40,560
Speaker 1: that the Bills get the ball back and then they fumble,

2210
02:02:40,880 --> 02:02:43,080
Speaker 1: but it did wipe off what could have been a

2211
02:02:43,160 --> 02:02:46,360
Speaker 1: touchdown off the scoreboard. I just want to say, Nelson

2212
02:02:46,400 --> 02:02:49,480
Speaker 1: Agilore almost had a touchdown at that very same spot

2213
02:02:49,560 --> 02:02:52,160
Speaker 1: last year in the playoffs and somebody else picked it off.

2214
02:02:52,960 --> 02:02:55,720
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, My god. It was almost the same

2215
02:02:55,760 --> 02:02:58,800
Speaker 1: exact place on the field. Yeah, it was great. You

2216
02:02:58,840 --> 02:03:00,800
Speaker 1: don't want to read too much into his body language,

2217
02:03:00,800 --> 02:03:04,040
Speaker 1: but Nelson Agilore, after today, we's got down, he and

2218
02:03:04,080 --> 02:03:07,480
Speaker 1: he's you know, the play was over. Agilore stood up

2219
02:03:07,480 --> 02:03:11,120
Speaker 1: and turned around and looked back at mac Jones like

2220
02:03:12,320 --> 02:03:14,560
Speaker 1: what was that? Like he was an alien, like what

2221
02:03:14,600 --> 02:03:18,840
Speaker 1: are you doing? Um? And I you know, I don't

2222
02:03:18,880 --> 02:03:20,640
Speaker 1: know how what that was called for on the play

2223
02:03:20,680 --> 02:03:23,480
Speaker 1: with it, but that kind of you don't just don't

2224
02:03:23,480 --> 02:03:27,800
Speaker 1: see that from teams very much where the receiver kind

2225
02:03:27,800 --> 02:03:30,920
Speaker 1: of glares stairs down the quarterback like what are you doing?

2226
02:03:30,960 --> 02:03:34,120
Speaker 1: Because well it looked like he threw it to Trey

2227
02:03:34,440 --> 02:03:36,880
Speaker 1: right more than he threw it now and as mad

2228
02:03:36,880 --> 02:03:39,600
Speaker 1: he said, I mean, Trey got excellent position on the

2229
02:03:39,640 --> 02:03:42,000
Speaker 1: play and he really just kind of boxed out Agilore

2230
02:03:42,120 --> 02:03:44,680
Speaker 1: from the ball, like right, Agilor had no chance at

2231
02:03:44,680 --> 02:03:48,440
Speaker 1: that football not And um, but I was, you know,

2232
02:03:48,480 --> 02:03:51,400
Speaker 1: we're kind of there's a word called shatten freud. You

2233
02:03:51,480 --> 02:03:53,080
Speaker 1: know what that is. It's when you take great delight

2234
02:03:53,120 --> 02:03:54,800
Speaker 1: in other people's misery, which is where we are with

2235
02:03:54,840 --> 02:03:59,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots always that show here. Um, you just you

2236
02:03:59,480 --> 02:04:03,000
Speaker 1: continue to see signs that there are real, not just

2237
02:04:03,080 --> 02:04:06,160
Speaker 1: cracks in the Veneer, but foundational problems they've got. Yeah,

2238
02:04:06,320 --> 02:04:07,960
Speaker 1: be interesting to see what they do in the offseason.

2239
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:10,960
Speaker 1: All right, Mister reliable is up next. That's going to

2240
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:14,240
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs. He was mister reliable yesterday getting back to

2241
02:04:14,400 --> 02:04:17,760
Speaker 1: his one hundred ways one hundred receiving yards. It was

2242
02:04:17,760 --> 02:04:20,400
Speaker 1: his first game with over one hundred or at least

2243
02:04:20,400 --> 02:04:23,520
Speaker 1: one hundred since the Vikings game in Week ten. I

2244
02:04:23,640 --> 02:04:26,120
Speaker 1: love that they went to him early and often, and

2245
02:04:26,200 --> 02:04:28,440
Speaker 1: it worked out. He had some big plays. That forty

2246
02:04:28,480 --> 02:04:31,240
Speaker 1: nine yard touchdown catch. It was a great throw by

2247
02:04:31,320 --> 02:04:34,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, a great catch by Stefan Diggs. He was

2248
02:04:34,480 --> 02:04:37,280
Speaker 1: targeted ten times. I love to see that big number.

2249
02:04:37,320 --> 02:04:39,920
Speaker 1: In a game where they needed him to step up.

2250
02:04:40,000 --> 02:04:42,120
Speaker 1: He was the guy that answered. He was the guy

2251
02:04:42,160 --> 02:04:44,400
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen could toss the rock to, and he

2252
02:04:44,440 --> 02:04:47,120
Speaker 1: caught it over and over again. He's gonna need to

2253
02:04:47,120 --> 02:04:49,840
Speaker 1: be mister reliable in the playoffs. We know that. So

2254
02:04:49,960 --> 02:04:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad that they treated him like that in this

2255
02:04:52,080 --> 02:04:54,160
Speaker 1: final game of the regular season. We think about this.

2256
02:04:54,400 --> 02:04:56,880
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs has got to be viewed in New England

2257
02:04:56,920 --> 02:04:59,400
Speaker 1: as a Bills killer. He had the three touchdown game

2258
02:04:59,520 --> 02:05:04,280
Speaker 1: last year, yep. Then this year he goes seven for

2259
02:05:04,520 --> 02:05:07,000
Speaker 1: ninety two in a touch in the first meeting. Now

2260
02:05:07,080 --> 02:05:09,080
Speaker 1: goes seven for one oh four and a touch in

2261
02:05:09,200 --> 02:05:12,720
Speaker 1: this meeting. He kills this team. He kills this team.

2262
02:05:14,360 --> 02:05:17,080
Speaker 1: He does. I mean, mister reliable is a very fitting

2263
02:05:17,360 --> 02:05:21,120
Speaker 1: award here, particularly for Diggs against the Pack, against this team.

2264
02:05:21,320 --> 02:05:23,160
Speaker 1: At the end of this game, the Bills defense came

2265
02:05:23,160 --> 02:05:25,560
Speaker 1: out and closed it out, and you've got the right place,

2266
02:05:25,760 --> 02:05:29,240
Speaker 1: right time, right place, right time, Tremaine Edmonds, Matt Milano.

2267
02:05:29,320 --> 02:05:31,680
Speaker 1: That is you two because they were in the right place,

2268
02:05:31,760 --> 02:05:35,280
Speaker 1: right time to get to get those interceptions. It's so

2269
02:05:35,320 --> 02:05:37,360
Speaker 1: good to see them come away with a football because

2270
02:05:37,400 --> 02:05:41,080
Speaker 1: there have been multiple times this season where they were

2271
02:05:41,240 --> 02:05:44,560
Speaker 1: right there and almost made a big play, almost had

2272
02:05:44,600 --> 02:05:47,280
Speaker 1: an interception and it didn't work out for them. It

2273
02:05:47,360 --> 02:05:49,080
Speaker 1: was so good to see it work out for both

2274
02:05:49,120 --> 02:05:52,120
Speaker 1: of them in a game. They've been so important to

2275
02:05:52,160 --> 02:05:54,760
Speaker 1: this defense this season a lot of times when the

2276
02:05:54,800 --> 02:05:57,520
Speaker 1: defense was down numbers. These were two guys that you

2277
02:05:57,520 --> 02:06:00,440
Speaker 1: could rely on throughout the regular season, which will also

2278
02:06:00,480 --> 02:06:02,920
Speaker 1: do in the playoffs. Of course, their time on the

2279
02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:07,960
Speaker 1: jugs machine is paying off. I'm just having for these guys. Yeah,

2280
02:06:08,000 --> 02:06:10,840
Speaker 1: and they both came off the tips, I think, yeah,

2281
02:06:10,960 --> 02:06:13,840
Speaker 1: both off tip passes. So that was pretty cool. Yeah,

2282
02:06:13,880 --> 02:06:16,800
Speaker 1: Hats off who who's getting the hats off award? Hats

2283
02:06:16,800 --> 02:06:20,040
Speaker 1: off to the NFL celebrating Damar Hamlin, honoring him with

2284
02:06:20,080 --> 02:06:22,800
Speaker 1: the T shirts that we saw during warmups, to the

2285
02:06:22,880 --> 02:06:26,240
Speaker 1: threes on the field, to guys like Russell Wilson who

2286
02:06:26,280 --> 02:06:28,360
Speaker 1: was rocking that three jersey. There were there were a

2287
02:06:28,360 --> 02:06:31,880
Speaker 1: lot of things that we saw pregame and throughout the game.

2288
02:06:31,960 --> 02:06:35,400
Speaker 1: Davis Webb with his celebration after he scored that touchdown.

2289

Speaker 1: in the pregame of the Bills and Patriots game. Love

2292
02:06:45,080 --> 02:06:49,040
Speaker 1: that they received some recognition. They definitely deserve it. What

2293
02:06:49,160 --> 02:06:52,200
Speaker 1: a cool and special moment for that group. They are

2294
02:06:52,280 --> 02:06:57,440
Speaker 1: usually the unsung heroes every single season, particularly this season.

2295
02:06:57,520 --> 02:07:00,440
Speaker 1: We've had an injured team all year and they have

2296
02:07:00,520 --> 02:07:02,960
Speaker 1: been working around the clock to make sure our guys

2297
02:07:02,960 --> 02:07:05,840
Speaker 1: are ready to go every single Sunday. And I love

2298
02:07:05,920 --> 02:07:08,760

Speaker 1: front of the camera than them behind the scenes. And

2301
02:07:13,920 --> 02:07:16,200
Speaker 1: we should mention there's one member of that team that

2302
02:07:16,320 --> 02:07:19,640

2305
02:07:28,600 --> 02:07:30,480
Speaker 1: So we want to make sure we recognize the Bonnie

02:07:49,720 --> 02:07:52,760
Speaker 1: usually people official people don't see me in glasses, but

2312
02:07:53,240 --> 02:07:56,480
Speaker 1: anything over eighty yards away from me, I need glasses.

2313
02:07:56,480 --> 02:07:58,760
Speaker 1: It's a small prescription, but it helps. It just kind

2314
02:07:58,760 --> 02:08:02,160
Speaker 1: of crystallizes for me and people. My mom texts me,

2315
02:08:02,200 --> 02:08:05,560
Speaker 1: she goes, when did you start wearing glasses? I was like, Mom,

2316
02:08:05,560 --> 02:08:08,280
Speaker 1: I've had these for two years, but she only sees

2317
02:08:08,280 --> 02:08:10,000
Speaker 1: me around the house when they come to visit, so

2318
02:08:10,040 --> 02:08:11,960
Speaker 1: I never have them on. So I had to reminder

2319
02:08:12,000 --> 02:08:13,520
Speaker 1: I've had these for a couple of years. You know,

2320

2332
02:09:01,880 --> 02:09:05,320
Speaker 1: It's it's pretty straightforward here. It was big plays that

2333
02:09:05,400 --> 02:09:11,720
Speaker 1: got Buffalo the victory in all three phases. Very nice offense, defense,

2334
02:09:11,720 --> 02:09:15,080
Speaker 1: special teams. Started out with the kick return, a couple

2335
02:09:15,080 --> 02:09:19,400
Speaker 1: of long TD passes and then of course the interceptions too.

2336
02:09:19,560 --> 02:09:21,840
Speaker 1: In the game, it was it was a team victory,

2337
02:09:21,880 --> 02:09:25,600
Speaker 1: no question about it, and it was against a team

2338
02:09:25,600 --> 02:09:28,520
Speaker 1: that was really fighting and clawing to get into the

2339
02:09:28,520 --> 02:09:30,680
Speaker 1: playoffs so many chance they were desperate to get in

2340
02:09:30,720 --> 02:09:32,200
Speaker 1: and they put up forth a good effort, but the

2341
02:09:32,200 --> 02:09:34,720
Speaker 1: Bills were too much for him yesterday. And even in

2342
02:09:34,760 --> 02:09:38,080
Speaker 1: the emotional turbulence that was going on all week, the

2343
02:09:38,120 --> 02:09:40,520
Speaker 1: Bills came out and gave a really played a really

2344
02:09:40,560 --> 02:09:44,000
Speaker 1: good game, and a lot of it has to do

2345
02:09:44,120 --> 02:09:47,200
Speaker 1: with the you know, the good news that surrounded to

2346
02:09:47,280 --> 02:09:51,560
Speaker 1: Marris recovery. Three interceptions by the defense, two kick returns

2347
02:09:51,560 --> 02:09:55,240
Speaker 1: for touchdowns by special teams, three touchdown passes by Josh

2348
02:09:55,240 --> 02:09:58,600
Speaker 1: Allen that pretty much spelled out the big plays on

2349
02:09:58,680 --> 02:10:02,000
Speaker 1: the day, of which there were several. Got a big

2350
02:10:02,040 --> 02:10:05,280
Speaker 1: one tonight here, Steve. I know our MSG viewers can

2351
02:10:05,320 --> 02:10:07,680
Speaker 1: see this, but our radio listeners can't. I have donned

2352
02:10:08,280 --> 02:10:10,600
Speaker 1: the University of Georgia had I am pulling for the

2353
02:10:10,600 --> 02:10:13,240
Speaker 1: Bulldogs tonight. He's got a kid that goes there. My

2354
02:10:13,280 --> 02:10:16,000
Speaker 1: son's a freshman there, and he and his buddies want

2355
02:10:16,000 --> 02:10:19,240
Speaker 1: to celebrate tonight on campus and Athens. The game's out

2356
02:10:19,240 --> 02:10:21,720
Speaker 1: in California, but pull them for them to win. So

2357
02:10:21,800 --> 02:10:24,560
Speaker 1: my son can celebrate a championship of some kind, and

2358
02:10:24,600 --> 02:10:27,040
Speaker 1: hopefully he can celebrate a second one in about a month. Yeah,

2359
02:10:27,080 --> 02:10:33,320
Speaker 1: that'd be nice. What is he going to celebrate? Bigger Bill,

2360
02:10:33,400 --> 02:10:36,240
Speaker 1: super Bowl win or Georgia National championship? What's gonna be

2361
02:10:38,200 --> 02:10:40,560
Speaker 1: This is a tight race here. We're talking about the

2362
02:10:40,560 --> 02:10:45,560
Speaker 1: celebratory capabilities of a college campus like Georgia, which is

2363
02:10:45,600 --> 02:10:48,000
Speaker 1: usually in the top ten for party schools every year

2364
02:10:48,040 --> 02:10:51,240
Speaker 1: in the rankings, and then you're talking about a Western

2365
02:10:51,240 --> 02:10:53,480
Speaker 1: New York community. It's always important in the vetting press

2366
02:10:53,640 --> 02:10:57,720
Speaker 1: hasn't celebrated a major championship since nineteen sixty five. Now

2367
02:10:57,720 --> 02:11:00,760
Speaker 1: he has told me if the Bills in the Super Bowl,

2368
02:11:00,800 --> 02:11:03,440
Speaker 1: he is leaving school to come up here for the parade.

2369
02:11:04,200 --> 02:11:08,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so yeah, the Bills fan the the I

2370
02:11:08,760 --> 02:11:11,240
Speaker 1: guess the word for it is diaspora, whereas me, you know,

2371
02:11:11,240 --> 02:11:14,160
Speaker 1: people don't move here, they move away. Yeah, and uh,

2372
02:11:15,400 --> 02:11:18,000
Speaker 1: and you know there's built we know this now build

2373
02:11:18,200 --> 02:11:21,880
Speaker 1: with social Bills mafia is everywhere around the planet. There

2374
02:11:21,960 --> 02:11:25,360
Speaker 1: might be a big, huge mecca. It might become the

2375
02:11:25,440 --> 02:11:28,720
Speaker 1: mecca of Bills fans for that. You know everybody would

2376
02:11:28,760 --> 02:11:30,960
Speaker 1: come back for that, I think so. But it would

2377
02:11:31,240 --> 02:11:36,880
Speaker 1: may not be enough hotel rooms, right, but that all people? Yeah, yeah,

2378
02:11:36,920 --> 02:11:39,880
Speaker 1: they got family here. Everybody's family. The family's coming in

2379
02:11:39,880 --> 02:11:42,320
Speaker 1: for the week off. It would you have? Would so

2380
02:11:42,360 --> 02:11:45,560
Speaker 1: if you so, if that happens here, we are look

2381
02:11:45,600 --> 02:11:47,720
Speaker 1: at us sitting here planning our super parade, and we

2382
02:11:47,800 --> 02:11:50,160
Speaker 1: better better be careful with that. That's all I can say.

2383
02:11:50,240 --> 02:11:52,040
Speaker 1: I don't mind. I don't either. I'm fine with it.

2384
02:11:52,200 --> 02:11:55,680
Speaker 1: We've waited long enough. Believe me, after this last week's events,

2385
02:11:55,840 --> 02:11:57,360
Speaker 1: we have about as much to do with what happens

2386
02:11:57,360 --> 02:12:00,360
Speaker 1: on that field as well. That's right. But we can

2387
02:12:00,400 --> 02:12:03,400
Speaker 1: dream about any dang thing we want. That's right. Um,

2388
02:12:03,480 --> 02:12:06,560
Speaker 1: are you gonna watch this game tonight, Georgia TCU, Absolutely

2389
02:12:06,600 --> 02:12:10,000
Speaker 1: it should be. We're talking his quintessential game between two

2390
02:12:10,040 --> 02:12:15,919
Speaker 1: guys that are absolutely quintessential college quarterbacks. Uh, Stetson Bennett

2391
02:12:16,480 --> 02:12:20,839
Speaker 1: and Max dug Max Doug Dugan. I think they pronounced

2392
02:12:20,840 --> 02:12:28,040
Speaker 1: it Dugan. All right, They're like your kids high school buddies, right,

2393
02:12:28,080 --> 02:12:30,520
Speaker 1: I mean they Duggan's a little short, he's only six two.

2394
02:12:30,680 --> 02:12:34,920
Speaker 1: Bennett's not big either, but Dougan's Bennett. Bennett's tiny. Yeah,

2395
02:12:34,920 --> 02:12:37,560
Speaker 1: he's not big either. My point on Douggan is I

2396
02:12:37,560 --> 02:12:39,920
Speaker 1: think he may have an NFL future as a you know,

2397
02:12:40,040 --> 02:12:43,040
Speaker 1: day three pick. He's got He's got a pretty good arm,

2398
02:12:43,080 --> 02:12:46,720
Speaker 1: and they watched they run him like Josh Allen kid,

2399
02:12:46,840 --> 02:12:49,440
Speaker 1: he's got some run him like Josh. They run Josh.

2400
02:12:49,600 --> 02:12:53,280
Speaker 1: But these two guys, I mean, this will be probably

2401
02:12:53,800 --> 02:12:56,840
Speaker 1: the pinnacle of their athletic life. And Stetson bennets a

2402
02:12:56,840 --> 02:12:59,200
Speaker 1: defending champion. I mean that's right, he is going for

2403
02:12:59,240 --> 02:13:03,400
Speaker 1: the deuce. Right. Um, if you're hip, do you win

2404
02:13:03,480 --> 02:13:05,400
Speaker 1: this game? Then just like say I'm done with football,

2405
02:13:05,440 --> 02:13:08,120
