Speaker 1: no bills football. But my, oh my, were there's some

4
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:50,320

Speaker 1: here on one Bills Live and before we dive headlong

7
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: into what has shaped up to be an even more

8
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: interesting AFC conference, Race Steve, there are some personal items

9
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: you wanted to get to today weekend. This was a

10
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: great weekend because like yesterday, bright sunny day, no bills game,

11
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: although there was some you know, some important games you

12
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: wanted to catch. Saturday was a horrible day. But Sunday yesterday,

13
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: So we finally got out of got the tree And

14
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: I usually don't do this, but we have this place

15
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: we go to. Usually we go out and we chop

16
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: it down yourself, right, which is kind of a go

17
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: to a tree farm, and it's a Western New York

18
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: tradition for a lot of people. Not everybody is, you know.

19
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: And we have also as a backup, we have a big,

20
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: natural looking fake tree that we only get out in

21
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: emergency situations. Like you know, can't get out whether it's bad, right,

22
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: you gotta gotta do it right. But yesterday it was

23
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: a beautiful day. So we go out made the bold move.

24
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: Usually you go out and you trapes around the countryside,

25
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: you go to the farm and you got like, you know,

26
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: a thousand, two thousand trees to choose from. You got

27
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: and you got a saw in your hand with the

28
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: missus and or whatever task right whatever, whatever part of yeah,

29
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: whatever part of the clan happens to be tagged along

30
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: with us. So yesterday was just my bride and I

31
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: and I've never done this before, never done it before.

32
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: But the place we went had some already cut standing up.

33
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: They got them standing up right, Are they pre wrapped

34
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: already or when I pre wrapped so you can see

35
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: what they look like? Yeah, but they're they're already. So

36
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: we go in and she said something about it, but

37
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: she she let it go. She goes like, I don't

38
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: get to say like I saw it. I saw it.

39
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: Took us took us literally ten minutes. That's the one

40
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: that no, that's the one right there there. They were

41
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: like they were like two or other three or three

42
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: other trees right there within a thirty foot radius. But

43
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: they you know, that's it. That's the one. We were

44
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: out of there. Plus we got a little something other

45
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: that we're hanging on the front porch. That kind of

46
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: We were out of there in literally twenty twenty five

47
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: minutes tops tops. The guy wrapped it for us on

48
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: top of the truck, tied down. Let's go back home.

49
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: We were going. We were out the door, back in

50
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: the door in an hour, and it was a twenty

51
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: minute drive to the place. And right, I absolutely so.

52
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: I've never done it before because I just kind of

53
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: threw I said, listen, no, hunt, that's it. That's no, No,

54
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: that's the one. That's the one. She goes one of

55
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: let's go no, that's no. Yeah, and she's like like,

56
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: I don't get to say. I'm like you did have

57
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: a say you had this one or that that's the one.

58
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: She's like, yeah it. She's well, I'm gonna go in

59
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: and see if there's something inside on. Right, So she did.

60
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, man, that's it may be the

61
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: only way to go. Yeah, we because we have you

62
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: you've had you've had to have had experiences where you

63
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: go out there and it's like, right, we haven't cut

64
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: down a tree in a long time. We've gone fakey,

65
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: fakey for a long stretch here, well, primarily because of

66
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: pet issues, right, and but we before we had pets

67
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: and before we had kids, my wife and I went

68
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: out to a local tree farm and we're like, all right,

69
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: we'll get there, you know, because we're both trying to

70
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: meet up and then shoot out there after work. This

71
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: is when we were working an ungodly amount of hours.

72
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: So she gets caught at work, I get caught at work.

73
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: We race home, we hop in one car, we get

74
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: to the tree farm. Instead of getting there at five,

75
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: we get there at about five forty five. We then

76
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: find out upon arrival the tree farm closes at six.

77
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: It's not a bad move though, So at that point

78
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: I look at her. I go start the clock. Are

79
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: we doing this? She's like, let's do it. So we

80
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: are literally we're like Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music.

81
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: We're running through the hills. You know, we're not escaping

82
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: to Switzerland, but you know we're and I'm running with

83
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: a sad in my hand, which is probably not the

84
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: best idea either. Um, you know, I'm like, we just

85
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: gotta find one one that we like, that's all we

86
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: gotta do. We got fifteen minutes, we chop it, we

87
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: get back. You know, it's getting dark. You know this,

88
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: you know, and we did. We did find one, and

89
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: you know we were able to carry it back in time.

90
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, that was the last time. Last time we

91
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: did it. We're like, why didn't we just do that

92
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: to ourselves? That was not the least bit enjoyable. We

93
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: were on the clock. Once you go fakey, fakey, it's

94
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: hard to go back. It is because there's something about

95
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: just going out whooping that thing out, and you know

96
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: they're all just you can just fluff them up a

97
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: little bit. You know, you've been to the mountain. It

98
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: looks great. Yeah, it fits perfect. Presto change And do

99
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: you have the one where you just plug it? Lights

100
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: are already on. Oh I see I got that string

101
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: it up. Let me tell you something. Yeah, I know.

102
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: We have a second. We have a second, smaller tree

103
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: in our TV room. H And that one is strung

104
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: up with lights and it's literally three pieces. It unfolds yeah,

105
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: same with us and plug it in. Doune dealers. It's like, yeah,

106
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: it's like the opposite of the grinch in this just

107
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: a fake tree that in the living room, that sits

108
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: in the bay window in the front of the house.

109
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: You can see it from the street. You know, that

110
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: whole deal. That was the same tree I had when

111
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: I was a teenager in my parents' house. Because they

112
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: gave they gave up. They're like, hey, if you want it,

113
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: you can have it. I was like, I'll take it,

114
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: and we still use it now. It's crazy. But my

115
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: problem this weekend dealt with my dog, who I know,

116
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: on on several occasions I have told you is a sweetheart,

117
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,679
Speaker 1: but dumb as a box of rocks. So we came

118
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: to learn something about our dog this weekend Friday, I

119
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: think it was or Thursday into Friday, because I wasn't

120
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: home when this happened. I leave the house to go

121
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: to New England on Wednesday afternoon, and my wife is

122
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: not going to get home until about eight pm because

123
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: the commitments after work. So we solicit some help to,

124
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, take our dog out around six, let him

125
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: run around, let her run around a little bit, get

126
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: her some dinner, and then my wife will be home

127
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: an hour and a half later. This was if you

128
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: remember last Wednesday, a super windy day. Now, our dog

129
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: doesn't like thunderstorms, as most dogs do not unbeknownst to us,

130
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: apparently she doesn't like it when it's windy either, and

131
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: the windows are rattling. So we keep her in a mudroom,

132
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: door closed, and there's plenty of room for her to

133
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: romp around and you know, at least not feel confined

134
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: in any major way. Plus it's the warmest room in

135
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: the house. My wife comes home and our six panel

136
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: door that leads to the kitchen is shredded on one side.

137
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: You would have thought you would have thought, not just clawing,

138
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: like you would have thought a beaver had half an

139
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: hour with this door. Oh my god, it was. And

140
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: here's the best part. My dog is short three teeth

141
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: like we had to get a tooth extracted right after

142
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: we adopted her because there was an abscess, and she's

143
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: missing two other teeth. So even though she's devoid of

144
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: three primary teeth, including a canine, you would have thought

145
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: she was a cousin of the beaver. What are you doing?

146
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: Because one side of one, like the bottom left corner

147
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: of the door, was unrecognizable, like no fin left on it.

148
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: We're about an inch in to the width of the door.

149
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: Wheely just going you got pet. You can't leave leave

150
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: alone because she my wife takes a picture. Now I'm

151
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: in New England. She said, uh, came home to this

152
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, jeez, that's really bad. So

153
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: I said, well, you know, when I get home, let

154
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: me see if I can sand it down, you know,

155
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: and maybe restaining it. And she goes, oh, you're not

156
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: doing that. I said, well, then the picture is not

157
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: doing the damage justice right now. So I come home,

158
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: you know, Friday, and there's wood. Thursday night, there's wood

159
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: out of the doors. Friday morning, she had to vacuum

160
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: up the shaving. Oh my gosh, and the splinters. I

161
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: don't know how my dog does not have like splinters

162
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: in her gums from the damage she did. Yeah, so,

163
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: long story short, the door has got to be replaced.

164
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: There's no there isn't a carpenter on this planet that

165
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: can make it look like a six panel door. Yeah.

166
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: Well so now now, so now I'm thinking about that.

167
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: There you were telling me the thunder j jacket, Like,

168
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: do I have to get a thunder jacket for this

169
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: dog now? To make it wind? Yeah? But you gotta

170
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: know wind you put that thing on. You don't know,

171
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: you anytime it's windy, you know, often it's windy around

172
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: here anytime you leave the house though, because it might

173
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: get windy when you're gone. Oh my gosh. Yeah. So

174
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: now I gotta get a new door, and I you know, my,

175
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: I got family coming in a couple of weeks, and

176
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: now I gotta find it, like get a door, staining

177
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: a door, hand a door. You gotta go. Yeah, there's

178
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: places you can get them though. They'll be good, you'll

179
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: be fine. Well, you know what, let me say this,

180
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: ten times easier to just go get a door, slap

181
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: it on the hinges and go than it is to

182
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: go out, take that door off, take it out in

183
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: the garage, staying and forget it, even if even it

184
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: was possible to save it. Yeah, you know what I mean.

185
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: Come on, man, all right, So let's get to the

186
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: AFC conference race. Now that we've shared our trials and

187
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 1: tribulations of the weekend. Who's at the top of the

188
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: Who's at the top of the conference brownie? Uh? This

189
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: just in. It's the Buffalo Bills at ninety three after

190
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: they got an untold amount of help yesterday from the

191
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: likes of the Vikings, the forty nine ers, and the Bengals.

192
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: Not to mention, whoever the heck beat the Titans, it was,

193
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was the Eagles. So the Bills beat

194
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots. That obviously helps them, and then Kansas City

195
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: falls to Cincinnati, and we'll get more on that game

196
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: in just a second. Baltimore wins by an eyelash, ten

197
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: to nine over Denver, but they lose Lamar Jackson to

198
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: a knee injury, and we'll get into that also. Jets

199
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: lose to the Vikings. Let's start with this game, Steve. Okay,

200
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: it's twenty seven twenty two, with four minutes left to play.

201
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: Jets have the ball in Vikings territory and we know

202
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: the Vikings defense is nothing to write home about their

203
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: thirty first in the league. Okay, thirty first in the league.

204
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: Mike White marches him down. It's fourth and goal and

205
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: they get in to make a twenty seven twenty two.

206
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: They get the ball again with like three or four

207
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: minutes left and they're in Vikings territory again. They can't

208
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: get it in the end zone. So it's one fifty

209
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: three left and the Vikings have used all their timeouts

210
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: and to stop, you know, to stop the clock, fearing

211
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: that they were going to get scored on and would

212
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: need the time. The Vikings then have an abomination of

213
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: a series. Steve, did you watch this game? I did not.

214
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I didn't watch it. Steve. There's one fifty

215
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: three left, and I realized the Jets had all three

216
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: of their timeouts. They took thirteen seconds off the clock

217
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: and had to punt again the Vikings. Let me see.

218
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: So the Jets get a second crack at it with

219
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: one forty six left, no timeouts, and they're right around

220
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: midfield and Mike White throws a pick on fourth down.

221
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: That didn't give him that touchdown, right, they did give

222
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: him that one. That's what made a twenty seven twenty two,

223
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: And then you know, Mike White moves them into the

224
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: territory there, but they couldn't score on a fourth and goal.

225
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: Braxton Barrios drops it in the end zone, can't hold

226
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: onto it, and then they get the ball back again

227
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the game and Mike White throws

228
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: a pick over the middle. It ends eerily similar to

229
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: the way the Bills game ended against the Vikings. The

230
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: Vikings have got a horseshoe tattooed on them somewhere on

231
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: both butt cheets, right, maybe on the yeah, the yeah,

232
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: maybe on the inside. But yeah, it's it's unbelievable how

233
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: lucky they are. I just got it's unbelievable. I'm just

234
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: gonna say. I'm not saying. I know. It's a tough league.

235
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: It's hard to win in the Vikings. Their luck is

236
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: gonna run out and they are gonna they are gonna

237
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: go down like a flaming arrow. Well, their defense isn't

238
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: good enough to win in the playoffs. They are absolutely

239
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: luckiest team in the NFL. They'll be bounced quickly in

240
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs on the NFC side of the ledger, I

241
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: presume because their defense just flat out isn't good enough.

242
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: They're getting takeaways at the exact opportune moments. I guess

243
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: they deserve credit for that. But yes, luck has definitely

244
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: been on their side in their defense. Luck was not

245
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: on their side last year when I think they lost

246
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: six one score games, including two on a final kick

247
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: of the game. So it's completely done a one eighty

248
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: for the Vikings and they have all the luck in

249
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: the world this year. I am going to say this

250
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: about Mike White. Okay, we talked about him last week

251
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: after he threw for three hundred yards and three touchdowns

252
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: against a bad Bears defense. He throws for over three

253
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: hundred yards again yesterday. He makes the Jets offense functional,

254
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: which is more than you can say about Zach Wilson.

255
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: Here's the problem, okay, and this is why you can

256
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: if you have a good defense, you can successfully defend

257
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: against Mike White. The man does not have an improvisational

258
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: bone in his body. His execution is tied directly to

259
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: the script. If the play unfolds as it should, he

260
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: can make his reads, he can deliver the ball, and

261
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: he can make plays for you. As soon as he

262
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: has to do something off script, or the first or

263
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: second option is not there and he's running out of

264
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: time and the pockets collapsing, it is almost disaster like

265
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: on every single play. He is much like Mac Jones

266
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: and Jared Goff, who the Bills have played in the

267
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: last two weeks. He is not a second reaction player.

268
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: When the initial play is done, all hell's breaking loose.

269
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: And so if I'm the Bills this week, I am

270
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: shutting off that first read every single time and I'm

271
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: giving my d line a chance to not even You

272
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: don't even have to hit him. You just got to

273
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: squeeze that pocket down and he's going to be inconsistent. Now.

274
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: The Vikings could not do that yesterday for god knows

275
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: what reason. Maybe because they're just not very good, because

276
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: as I'm looking at it now, they're actually now they're

277
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: eighteenth and expert play, so they're not that good. Um,

278
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: whatever the point is, After watching Mike White start to

279
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: finish yesterday, I've come to the conclusion that he is

280
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: a scripted thrower, rhythm passer, pocket guy for the most part.

281
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: He can move around a little bit, but no better

282
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: than Mac Jones. And if he has to improvise, that's

283
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: when problems surface. Well, I mean that's yeah, we'll see. Um,

284
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how the Bills come into

285
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: this game healthwise, with Dion Dawkins to be back on

286
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: the field. Will Jordan Phillips's status status because he left.

287
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: Some people might not have seen this, They might have

288
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: gone to bed already. On the On the Patriots last possession,

289
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: he's chasing Mac Jones, fifteen year old running around. Yeah,

290
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: he dies, He dies and tries to cut at his

291
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: ankles with his arm and lands awkwardly on his shoulder

292
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: in doing that, and was on the field for a

293
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: while and they brought him off, and you know, he

294
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: was diagnosed with a shoulder injury. Coach mcdermot's supposed to

295
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: address the media this afternoon after we're off the air,

296
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: so we'll see if there are any updates on him.

297
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: But he landed awkwardly and he laid there for about

298
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: ten seconds after he fell down. Because three hundred and

299
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 1: forty pounds on a shoulder like that, that's not going

300
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: to feel good. So it's unfortunate that that happened because

301
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: that that four man defensive tackle rotation has been downright

302
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: menacing the last few games. So I'm a professional here, Yeah,

303
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: and now one guy is dinged, which is a little unfortunate.

304
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: So we'll have to see, like are they going to

305
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: have all four guys up this week? If not, you know,

306
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Or you turn into C. J.

307
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: Brewer on the practice squad do you have to elevate

308
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: him to play? So we'll see what happens as we

309
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: get I think to Jordan, I think Jordan's a really

310
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: important cog up there, really important yeah, I would agree,

311
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: and but I think the Bills that sitting here where

312
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: they're at now, I think they're starting to crescendo. At

313
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: the end of last season, when they won four straight

314
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: to get in the playoffs win the division, they were

315
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: the healthiest and playing the best offensive football of anybody

316
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: in the league. And we saw it at the end

317
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: of last season. They're starting to do that again this year. Certainly,

318
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: They've played one of the top two or three hardest

319
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 1: schedules in the National Football League. They've been as injured

320
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: as any team, if not more so than most teams

321
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. And they're nine and three,

322
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: the number one seed headed into the last five games

323
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: of the regular season. I almost feel like it's almost

324
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: too soon to be that good right now, right get close.

325
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: It's a long stretch, but yeah, I think this is

326
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: a point of the season where this is where they've

327
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: got a chance to put their foot on the gas

328
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: and go these next two games. We talked about it

329
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: before this New England game, how crucial these games are,

330
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: these next two in particular, and then they've got Chicago,

331
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: then Cincinnati, then New England. They got a chance to

332
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: really shift gears. Now they're they're in a tight race.

333
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: But man o, man if they get healthy now in

334
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: their hands, right, if they get healthy, now, what did

335
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: you make it to this? You know, we're talking about

336
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: getting to the point where you were, like it at

337
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: the end of the season, where they were a year

338
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: ago and all of that, and how this team is

339
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: now Christian doing at the end of you know, stretch run.

340
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: What did you think of the commentary that we heard

341
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: from the broadcast grewp was it was it? Who was

342
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: our broadcast crew was Michael Michael Street, Herb Street Where

343
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: they talked to Josh Allen about Ken Dorsey and how

344
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: they're getting to a place where they're better and better now.

345
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty interesting how it seemed like

346
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: Josh and Ken Dorsey as well acknowledge that they had

347
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: some things to learn about each other as they got

348
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: deeper into the season, and now they're getting better and better.

349
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: What do you make of that? I thought, it's really

350
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: I think it's a natural evolution thing because while they

351
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: know each other intimately having worked together for the better

352
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: part of the last three years, they did not work

353
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: together from a play calling capacity, and so I think

354
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: that had to be learned between the two of them.

355
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: Because while Ken through osmosis may know what Josh likes

356
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: in terms of play selection based on what he has

357
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: communicated to Dabel and Dorsey in the headsets or in

358
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: film sessions, Josh probably doesn't know what Dorsey likes when

359
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: he wants to attack or where he likes to take

360
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: a shot play. Like we came to understand that if

361
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: the Bills had the ball between the forties, somewhere in

362
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: that series, Brian Dayball was calling a shot play, right.

363
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: It was like, mark it down, it's gonna happen. There's

364
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a shot play here somewhere where they take

365
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: a shot down the field and inevitably it would happen.

366
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 1: I think that's a small example, Like that's how much

367
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: we knew Dable after four years of calling the plays here.

368
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: I think it's the same thing between Josh and Dorsey

369
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: because he says, you know, hey, what do you like here?

370
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: I like this? But why did you call that? Like, well,

371
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: I'm calling it because of this, an, A, B and c.

372
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: Oh Okay, that makes sense. Like that's the feeling out

373
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: right that I think the two of them had to have,

374
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: And you can't really have that until you're you have

375
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: games to review and go, hey, why did you call

376
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: that there? Like what were you thinking of? Because once

377
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: you get into the driver's seat, like Ken Dorsey did

378
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: at the beginning of this year, you know at the

379
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: start now that you're starting to learn, there are certain

380
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: things that change for you when you're actually the guy

381
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: calling it, because there are certain things that get thrown

382
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: at your information that you see and have to make

383
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: a decision about that become more important all of a sudden, like,

384
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: for instance, you're right day Ball used to call those

385
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: shot plays like between the four once a series, like

386
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: you're going for it, and I don't think Ken Dorsey

387
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: sees that the same way. But it doesn't. It doesn't

388
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: really matter because you can be productive and hit big

389
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: plays no matter what the irony of that is. He

390
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: finally called one against New England, but it came back

391
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: on the penalty. It was right between the twoties and

392
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: he called the shot play there and Josh had Gabe

393
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: Davis behind him as well, and that ball got and

394
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: Gabe couldn't pick it up. It went over his head

395
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: out of bounds. Could have been a better throw, could

396
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: have been you know it was there though, Right, So

397
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: they called two of them, one of them hit on

398
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: and a meaningless holding call brought it back. You're right,

399
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: maybe they're getting to that point more now. And I

400
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: think one of the things about calling shot plays is

401
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: that it works best when you call that play and

402
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: both of you think it's a good idea. You know

403
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Well, as a play caller, it's it's

404
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: your responsibility to call plays that your quarterback likes a lot. Right.

405
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: It's more it's gonna be. It's not gonna be every play,

406
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: but you should You probably should not call a play

407
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: that on a scale of one to ten, your quarterback

408
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: doesn't think as a seven or higher. Right, But it's

409
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: it's one of those things that call the right play,

410
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: but call the right play play the quarterback like, because

411
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: that's a given calling at the right time. Yeah, is

412
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: the is the is the quintessential? Like, yeah, got him,

413
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, because you anticipated coverage you're

414
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: gonna get from personnel and shifts and he said, okay here.

415
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: It is kind of like Dorsey and Allen did in

416
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: the Detroit game. On the last series, Dorsey put that

417
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: play in on Wednesday for that Thursday game, and sure

418
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 1: enough they get that coverage on the last series and

419
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,239
Speaker 1: he called the play a minute to go. I mean,

420
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: that was the time to call it and they executed. Um, yeah,

421
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: I get that. I think as we discussed last week

422
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: on Friday, though, Steve, this is an offense that is

423
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: also trying to diversify itself on the fly in season

424
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: because for the last three years, yes passing game has

425
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: carried this offense. And there are times where I wonder

426
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: if coach McDermott was and I don't know this, I'm

427
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: just guessing here, there were times where I wondered if

428
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: coach McDermott thought there was too much passing to the

429
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: point where you know, their play calling was a little

430
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: out of whack. They were still winning football games. And

431
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: then what happened down the stretch the last four weeks

432
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: of the regular season. There was a change and the

433
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: Bills were like second or third in the league and

434
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: rushing over the last month of the season. They go

435
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: into the postseason and they're virtually unstoppable because people are

436
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: looking at their last four games going, holy crap, I

437
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: thought we had to stop Josh Allen, what the hell

438
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: is this running game here, that's right, And then I

439
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: think they're trying to recapture some of that now. The

440
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: reason is because of the perception of your offense by

441
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: the defenses you're facing. It sets you up for a

442
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: game like they had in Kansas City last January. Were

443
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: they they're like going, Okay, we're not gonna let them.

444
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 1: You know, we're not gonna let them run us like

445
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: they did last you know, we're not gonna do that.

446
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, it's like, who cares, We're

447
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: gonna kill you. With Gabe Davis catching four touchdowns and Judge,

448
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it really changes the perception that defenses have

449
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 1: about your team When all of a sudden you're in

450
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: this stretch run and you're handing it off and killing

451
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: people with it. That's a crusher. Yeah, and that's my point.

452
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: I think they're trying to diversify their offense in the

453
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: same way. Yeah, right now. It makes them sense they

454
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: did last year and like perfect example, that mid zone

455
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: run game with James Cook. I mean that was that

456
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: was working like a charm last Thursday. Yeah. Do they

457
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: go back to that, I don't know if they do,

458
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: but it's something that Jets are gonna have to think

459
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: about this week. And one last note about the Jets

460
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: Vikings game. The Jets in the red zone yesterday one

461
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: for six, one for six. We should get to the

462
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: rest of these games because it pertains to our Twitter question.

463
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: Steve Chiefs Bengals, I know you watched a good amount

464
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: of this Cincinnati. I'm just gonna say it. They're gonna

465
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: be a problem for any defense, and a defense like

466
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: Kansas Cities, which does not have a number one quarterback,

467
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: it's an even bigger problem. The Bengals, with Jamar Chase

468
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: te Higgins and Tyler Boyd have the best top three

469
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: receiver combo in the conference and maybe the league there

470
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: and with a quarterback like Joe Burrow, that's a problem. Yeah.

471
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: They're good. Yeah, I mean there's no two ways about it.

472
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: That trio of receivers with Joe Burrow is a problem

473
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: for everybody. They are really, really good. And then you've

474
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: got p Ryan who's actually running really hard even back

475
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: yet Yeah, Joe Mixon is an afterthought. Now p Ryan

476
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: is really making the most of it. They they outplayed

477
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, no question about it. I'll say this too

478
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: about the Kansas City Chiefs and this was brought to

479
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 1: our attention against Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, and

480
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: who's the other one. Mahomes is one and six in

481
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: the last two years against those teams. The Chiefs are

482
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: are not the same team on the road. Nobody is

483
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: of the Bills. Fans would never know that because we

484
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: never get a play him at home. We always get

485
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: a play him in Kansas City. That was a game

486
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: where the Cincinnati Bengals really outplayed him for the entire game,

487
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: still struggled to beat him. It was a tight game,

488
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: tight game. Chiefs missed a fifty five yarder to go up,

489
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: and then the Bengals came back, you know, and went ahead.

490
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, they ran the clock out and Joe Burrow

491
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: makes an incredible throw on third and twelve, or they

492
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: were already ahead. Yeah that was the tie. Sorry, but yeah,

493
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: but they would have been. The talk there usually makes those.

494
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he does. I don't blame Andy Reid for

495
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: trying to take that because he's got a big leg.

496
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: And even so, the Bengals would have been in position

497
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: to take the field goal right a very short field

498
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: goal right there to win the game in the fourth quarter.

499
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: With that throw the brew. That is maybe the most

500
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,479
Speaker 1: diverse offense in football, which is why it is so

501
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: hard to defend. They are really do have premium talent

502
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: at the time, three receiver positions. You have a premium

503
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: talent in mixing and running back. Now, their defense, I

504
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: think is a little underrating problem with the Bengals. They're

505
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: they're really good, but right now they're like with the

506
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: exception of Joe Mixon, but pe Ruins, they're one hundred

507
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: percent healthy. That's a If they start dropping guys out,

508
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: that really hurts them. They can not have the depths

509
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: overcome it. And I'll say this too. They were five

510
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: and four at one point. Now they're eight and four

511
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: on a three game winning streak, and they are smoking hot.

512
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: They have won six of their last seven, and they

513
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: won three of their last four games without Chase or

514
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: Mixing in the lineup. Think about that. Well, that's true,

515
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: but three of their last four were against a struggling

516
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh team, Carolina Panthers team, and the Tennessee Titans, who

517
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: gave him a real game. But you know the Titans

518
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: now being exposed. So but that's gonna be You got

519
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: a Gigundo game Donday night in Week seventeen, Bills at

520
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: Cincinnati home field. May be on the line, could be Dolphins,

521
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers, Steve, before we go to break here,

522
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: this was a game I watched from start to finish.

523
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: I actually watched more of this game than Cincinnati Kansas City.

524
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: And two it was off Sunday. I'm just gonna say it.

525
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was because he didn't have

526
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: his two starting offensive tackles who were out with injury,

527
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: but he was sailing passes the whole game. The highest

528
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: rated quarterback in the league. Completed eighteen to thirty three passes.

529
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: He had two long touchdowns, one to Sherfield, one to

530
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill on a blown coverage, but not much else.

531
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: And look, yes, they were playing the league's best defense,

532
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: but twa looked rattled in that game as the forty

533
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: nine Ers beat them with their third string quarterback Brock Purdy,

534
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: who was the last pick in the draft this mister

535
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: Spring and he threw for two hundred and fifty yards,

536
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and a pick. All right, but here's the thing,

537
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: I get it. Miami was on a five game winning

538
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: streak right after a three game losing streak where they

539
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: lost to the Bengals, who we already said is a

540
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: pretty good football team. They lost to the Jets big,

541
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: and then they lost to Minnesota, who also who doesn't

542
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: have a really good defense. But then they beat a

543
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: struggling Steelers team, they beat a Detroit team that's struggling,

544
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears who were struggling, the Cleveland Browns who

545
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: were struggling with Jacobe Brissette, and then they beat the

546
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. Okay, we all sit here and we all

547
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: kind of make with Josh Allen and the two conversation

548
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: we were all have fun with. But they did They

549
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: did not actually go on a five game winning streak

550
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: Against the murderous row of a schedule, the Buffalo Bills

551
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: have played the one of the hardest schedules in that league.

552
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: The teams that the Bills have beaten or have played

553
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: against have like fifty four wins on the season. Yeah, there,

554
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: it was a tough, tough road and the Bills have

555
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: been as as injured as any team in the league.

556
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,239
Speaker 1: I'm just the Dolphins defense is going to kill him

557
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. They are a shell of their former selves.

558
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: Bradley Chubb is largely unimpressive. I realized he was going

559
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: against an all Pro tackle and Trent Williams yesterday, but

560
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: he was almost he was like a non factor. I

561
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: didn't even notice him yesterday. The Bills have got the Bills.

562
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: The teams that the Bills have beaten have seventy eight

563
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: wins on the season. Seventy eight, that's and it's only

564
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: by far, by far, the most of anybody in the

565
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: conference except for Pittsburgh you know who you know have

566
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: a only four thirty four winning percentage, So you know

567
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: they're struggling. But the Bills have by far the most

568
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: difficult strength of schedule wins in the league, in certainly

569
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: in the conference. The Bills have gone through a really

570
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: rough schedule of teams that have won a lot of games,

571
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: injured as much as any team in the league, if

572
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: not more than most teams in the league. And they're

573
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: at the number they have, the number one seeds. So

574
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: take a little heart in that. Now there's nothing's getting

575
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: given to you. You got to go out and play,

576
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: particularly in these last five games that are all important.

577
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: But man o, man, the Bills are a little bit

578
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: more battle hardened than the Jets than the Dolphins in

579
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: any of the teams in the division. So, speaking of

580
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: that conference race, we're asking you as our Twitter question today,

581
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: do you feel differently about the Bills having the top

582
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: seed at the end of the season than you did

583
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: on Friday? Have your predictive fortunes for the Bills changed

584
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: after what took place over the weekend compared to what

585
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: you were thinking on Friday after their win over the Patriots.

586
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: You can let us know at eighth three five fifty one,

587
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two, five fifty or on the

588
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: tweet sheet at one Bills. We'll take your phone calls

589
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: next along with your tweets, and we got to get

590
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: to some quarterback injury news around the league as well.

591
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: We'll do that when we return here on One Bills Live.

592
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to one Bills Live. Chris Brown,

593
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you. We told you we were going

594
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: to get to the other part of the news that

595
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: took place in Week thirteen of the NFL over the weekend,

596
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: and it was namely quarterback injuries. Jimmy Garoppolo out for

597
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: the season with a broken foot suffered in the game

598
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins early in that game. Actually and went

599
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: out on a cart busted his foot. It's going to

600
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: require surgery. He is done for the season. I thought

601
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: he was lucky he didn't break his ankle the way

602
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: his foot got caught under him while he was falling sideways.

603
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: So not good. Feel bad for him, and you wonder

604
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: what the Niners do here. They did after the game.

605
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: You know, they played Brock Purty, the rookie who was

606
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: the last pick in the draft. In the spring. He

607
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: played pretty well all things considered, all time leading passer

608
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: in Iowa state history and played pretty well. But I

609
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: think it's safe to think that he's going to be

610
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: somewhat limited going forward. They signed Josh Johnson off the

611
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 1: Broncos practice squad to their active roster. He will serve

612
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: as a backup presumably going forward, until he gets a

613
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: handle on the offense and then who knows from there.

614
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: Josh Johnson is the biggest nomad quarterback this side of

615
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick. He's played for fourteen NFL clubs. Has he

616
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: actually taken snaps for fourteen has taken snaps for fourteen

617
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: NFL clubs, So he's he's been around. This is not

618
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: his first time with San Francisco either he's been there before.

619
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: That is awesome, So that is all I don't like.

620
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: Gotta be, gotta be so so Josh Johnson is the

621
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: current backup in San Francisco other injuries at the quarterback position.

622
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: Yesterday to have suffering an ankle injury in that game,

623
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: but it's considered minor. He is expected to start against

624
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 1: the Chargers this coming week in LA. Incidentally, the Dolphins

625
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: are spending the week on the West Coast. They played

626
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: San fran yesterday. Head coach Mike McDaniel decided they would

627
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 1: spend the entire week out on the West Coast instead

628
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: of flying back to Miami only to fly back out

629
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: to LA to play the Chargers this weekend. That makes

630
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: some sense, so they're staying out there, presumably in LA

631
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: for the week before they play the Chargers in Week fourteen.

632
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson suffers a knee injury. Ravens coach Jarn Harbaugh

633
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: said his injury is not season ending, but it could

634
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: be days two weeks before Jackson plays again. And immediately

635
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,720
Speaker 1: there are people out there that are saying, hmm, should

636
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: have got a contract done before the season. So the

637
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: interesting thing is the play looks rather innocuous, but his

638
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: knee jams hard into the ground. So that's interesting about

639
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: what kind of thing that would be maybe a PCL

640
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 1: or something, but instead of an ACL. What it's not good?

641
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: What drama, because that's a guy who held out, didn't want,

642
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: didn't like the deal they offered him. He's a former

643
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: MVP of the NFL at the most important position in

644
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: the NFL, and he's young. They offered him two hundred

645
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: and fifty million. That was the last contract and it

646
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: probably wasn't one hundred percent guaranteed, which was not which

647
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: is why he didn't take. And it was on the

648
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: heels of the Deshaun Watson deal, which was two hundred

649
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: and thirty million guaranteed for a guy with criminal well

650
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: not criminal charges, but a myriad of civil charges against him.

651
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: And so Lamar Jackson's like, Yo, Cleveland's given this guy

652
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,280
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty million guaranteed. I'm better, I'm better,

653
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm a better person, right, and uh, I'm a better

654
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: you know just about everything, right, you know, leader at

655
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: seven MVP. He's not a better pass Washington is a

656
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: better passer. He led the league in passing in the

657
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 1: last year. He played a full season to show on

658
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: a bad Texas team. But anyway, here's the thing, though,

659
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: he said no, thank you, And you know you bet

660
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: on yourself, Rennie job security. What do you do if

661
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: you're the Ravens, what do you do? Well? They have

662
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: to sign him because they are a lot worse without

663
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: him in all likelihood, unless you feel, unless you're convinced

664
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: that what you can get in the draft this year

665
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: is better than Lamar Jackson, you have to sign him

666
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 1: to a contract extension. Look what the Arizona Cardinals did.

667
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: They signed Kyler Murray to an extension as soon as

668
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: he was able, because you got to be three years

669
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: out of your rookie deal before you can sign a

670
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: second contract. They did it immediately with And how's that.

671
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: A lot of people, a lot of people believe that's

672
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: the wrong he's the wrong guy. He's a good guy,

673
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: He's not the right guy, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

674
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: people just do it. You don't want to listen. If

675
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: we've been listen, the Bills lived there for two decades.

676
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: You can't find the guy. Yeah. Now, now the landscape

677
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: is a little different these days, with guys changing teams

678
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 1: a lot these days a lot more than they did

679
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,919
Speaker 1: in decades past. But man, oh man, if you don't

680
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 1: have that guy, your entire organization is obsessed with that problem.

681
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: The whole organization, top to bottom is they have to be.

682
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:52,760
Speaker 1: So you got Lamar, who is a double edged sword

683
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: of a problem at quarter defenses. Yeah, and also for

684
00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:00,959
Speaker 1: your organization, Hey, he's an MVP B he's hurt again,

685
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: MVP unavailable. Yeah, hurt definitely is a problem for his

686
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: value because he got hurt last year as we remember.

687
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: I think he only played in nine games and hurt

688
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: an MVP unavailable. That's a problem. Big paycheck, useless, ye,

689
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: so to think. So if Lamar Jackson thinks he's getting

690
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 1: a fully guaranteed contract, I think he's gonna be sadly

691
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: mistaken because unless the Ravens are gonna come to him

692
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 1: and they're gonna say, hey, look, we love you as

693
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: a player. You're our franchise guy, you're our leader, but

694
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,479
Speaker 1: you have to understand what we're up against here. You've

695
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: missed umpteen number of games in the last two seasons alone,

696
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: and you're a twenty four year old guy. What's gonna

697
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: happen when you're twenty eight, Right, you canna get less

698
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: injured when you're not as fast and you know what

699
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not running around like you are now.

700
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 1: But for now, let's talk about Lamar. Lamar is sitting there,

701
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: gonna listen. If you don't give it to me, somebody's

702
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: going to and I ain't signing it unless it's guarantees.

703
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna all go one year to year to

704
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: year to year to year because sooner or later I'm

705
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 1: gonna hit the free agent market. I might do it

706
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: when I'm twenty six. So you just sit there and Stu,

707
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull a Kirk Cousins and I'm gonna hit

708
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: a home run year after year after year because he

709
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: can do that. Because Baltimore is not moving off him.

710
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: They'll franchise him, right, they'll have to. Yeah, it's it's

711
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: gonna get messy. That's why you gotta take care of

712
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: because and that's why Arizona did what they did. Take

713
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: care of it early so we don't have to worry

714
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: about it. And they might not be happy with the returns,

715
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: but at least they got a two years down the road.

716
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: You know, in the past where the money didn't escalate more.

717
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: The salary caps being report is going up to two

718
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: twenty this year twenty twenty three. But they got their

719
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: the Arizona's got their guy tied up. The Bills have

720
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: their guy tied up. The Chiefs have their guy tied up.

721
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: Since now he's looking at their guy going okay, we

722
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: gotta get a our guy tied up. Yep. So that

723
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: that's the issue for Baltimore. It's it's a problem that

724
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: has only gotten bigger. And then there's the Baker Mayfield

725
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 1: news today. Baker Mayfield asked for and has been granted

726
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: his release from the Carolina Panthers. Does Baker Mayfield get

727
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: picked up off waivers by anybody? He's only about a

728
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: million on your cap the rest of the season if

729
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,399
Speaker 1: you claim him. We just mentioned the injuries that took

730
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: place around the league. It is hard for a player

731
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: to parachute in with a little over a month left

732
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: in the season and expect him to contribute in any

733
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: meaningful way. Do you think he gets claimed by somebody? Nope,

734
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: So then you expect him to become a fully a

735
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: full free agent at that point, Man, how fast could

736
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: he get ready to play for the San Francisco forty

737
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: nine ers. Yeah, hard to say. How fast could he

738
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: get ready to play for the Ravens? Yeah, I don't know.

739
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer for or you know, take

740
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: your pick New Orleans. Somebody. He's looking for a QB

741
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, right Denver. You think about that,

742
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what a mess. You know, there's all

743
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 1: these there's all these teams that have problems right now.

744
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 1: The Houston Texans, Yeah, you know, I don't know. The

745
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. Did you see that debacle last night? Oh

746
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: my goodness, that's their season dirty over thirty three unanswered

747
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: points in the fourth quarter alone by the Dallas Cowboys.

748
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 1: And now and I love the way it happens now

749
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: all of a sudden because Matt Ryan and the Indianapolis

750
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: Colts caught. I mean, they absolutely puked the ball and

751
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: the game away last night to the Cowboys. But they

752
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,879
Speaker 1: don't the Cowboys don't get any you know, they don't

753
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: get it. They get nothing but credit for doing that

754
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 1: to the Indianapolis Colt. When an actuality, it's the indian

755
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: Pass Colts with a with a drinking buddy of the

756
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 1: owners as a head coach who just absolutely couldn't get

757
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: out of their own way. But now all of a sudden,

758
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys aren't unbeatable, for unstoppable, for in the in

759
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: the prisoner of the moment world we live in on

760
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 1: social media, that Dallas Cowboys are now the NFC favorites

761
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: because they're you know, they're not going to be what

762
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: nine and three like the Bills are. Yeah, all right,

763
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,920

Speaker 1: when the Bills didn't play. We will take a break here.

00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: apple of your Buffalo Bills. I just finished one during

783
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: the break. It's fantabulous. It sounded great Twitter question. As

784
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: we said, do you feel differently about the Bills having

785
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: the top seed at the end of the season then

786
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: you did on Friday? Do you feel differently now after

787
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: seeing all that happened and all the help that the

788
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: Bill's got over the weekend then you did on Friday

789
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: after their win over the Patriots. You can let us know.

790
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: We go to the phones at eight o three five

791
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 1: fifty and leading us off today is Judy and Buffalo.

792
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: What do you got for us, Judy, No, our offense

793
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: is looking sort of horus lately. I would like you

794
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: to tell me about the status of Doyle, Becker, Cumerole,

795
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: and Crowder. Do we have any help coming? Because you know,

796
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: our only hope going forward? Is this offense you know,

797
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: our we've got according to yesterday, You've got to be

798
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: able to score thirty thirty five points to beat these teams.

799
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: So what do you what do you know about these guys? Well,

800
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,399
Speaker 1: first of all, Judy, you're right, Um, it's an offensive league.

801
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: But I think the Bills defense is better than most

802
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: defenses in the league, and that's you do get some

803
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: help from this defense that other teams can't lean on.

804
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: San Francisco is a perfect example. They won against the

805
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: Dolphins yesterday because of their defense. You get teams like

806
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 1: Baltimore struggling offensively be you know, against what is a

807
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: pretty good defense for the Broncos. Teams with good defenses

808
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: are in a better spot and you don't need to

809
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: score thirty thirty five points for teams when you've got

810
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: a defense like that, and the Bills are one of

811
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: those teams. So I get what it looks like when

812
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: you look around. But the Dolphins, as I said, Dolphins

813
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: struggled against a really good defense yesterday in San Francisco.

814
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 1: The Jets cause problems for people because of their defense. So,

815
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 1: while you're right, the Bills offense hasn't looked as shiny

816
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 1: and bright as it has at times before during earlier

817
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: in the season. Don't think the Bills can't win games

818
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: because they are a total package that Philadelphia is a

819
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: great example of exactly what the Bills are. Cincinnati is

820
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: a team like Buffalo, where they got a defense that's

821
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 1: really aggressive and athletic. So the teams with the good

822
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: defenses get help and they hold other teams off the

823
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: board a little bit more than what you're give him

824
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: credit for. But I will say this, I wish we

825
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: had three guys like the Bengals. Do you know a

826
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: Chase Chase, Chase Daniels, Jamar Chase, Jamar Chase, I'm sorry,

827
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, Te Higgins and Tyler Boyd can go And

828
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 1: you'd love to have three guys like that. And right now,

829
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: you know, we're still kind of waiting for Gabe Davis

830
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 1: to feel out his number two receiver rule. They're still

831
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: looking for Isaiah McKenzie and Shakier Khalil Shaker to kind

832
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,720
Speaker 1: of emerge for the Bills. Maybe they will, but certainly

833
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: the Bill's run game has taken a load off of

834
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: that and their defense continues to help this offense. As

835
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: for the injuries that you were wondering about. Tommy Doyle's

836
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: out for the year, torn Acl Dunn not coming back.

837
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: Um Ike Butcher as a chance to return. He started

838
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: practicing last week. You know, he's basically a guard type.

839
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 1: Then you have Dion Dawkins. We hope to find out

840
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: more about his injury status later this afternoon when coach

841
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: mcdur addresses the media, and Kumaro is on IR right now.

842
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 1: They can take him off after he hits four games,

843
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: so they're waiting on that. Crowder has a chance to

844
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: come back at the end of the season. Coach McDermott

845
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:16,800
Speaker 1: said he would not close the door on a possible

846
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 1: return for him at the end of the year. He

847
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 1: two is on IR and then Von Miller, you know,

848
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: is going to miss at least the next three games

849
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 1: before even the possibility exists of him trying to play

850
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 1: with the later romaniscus injury that he sustained. So I

851
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 1: think that's the run of it for the most part.

852
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: We have to take a break here because when we

853
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: come back, we're going to be joined by Michael Robinson,

Speaker 1: I'm excited about that. That's number one. That's number one.

867
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: I gotta start off by said, congrats on us getting

868
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: that number one seed, and we're gonna hold on to it.

869
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: But to see this game being flexed to Saturday to

870
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: be on NFL Network, it is awesome. I was already

871
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: gonna be in Seattle for the Thursday night of football

872
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: game in week fifteen. Now I'm hoping and I haven't

873
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: talked everybody in the NFL network yet, but I'm gonna

874
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: hopefully I talk to the travel department. When I get

875
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 1: out there in a little bit, hopefully I'll be going

876
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: to that game. It's gonna be excitement. Can't wait. Yeah,

877
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 1: and it really it's one of those primetime games you

878
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: don't know when it's gonnappen. We knew it was because

879
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: even when the schedule came out it was TBD, so

880
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: you knew they were looking at it. And it's it's

881
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: gonna be an important game, of course, it's gonna be important.

882
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna be for home phil advantage. It's gonna probably

883
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: be for the division, all of the marbles and a kin.

884
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: And again, I'm glad we got the baddest man on

885
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: the planet, Josh Allen. Oh yeah, So let's before we

886
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: even get to the Jets, just real quick. From a

887
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: player perspective, the Dolphins are spending the week out on

888
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: the West Coast. After playing San fran yesterday, they play

889
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: at La Chargers this week. Coach McDaniel said, we're staying

890
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 1: out here. Then they got to fly back across the

891
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: country home after that game, which is on West Coast time,

892
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 1: as you know, probably getting into Miami late. And then

893
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 1: they got to hit the road again on Friday to

894
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: come up here to play Buffalo on Saturday night. Any

895
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: jet lag thing to even consider in that, I mean,

896
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: I know the two teams aren't going to consider that,

897
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 1: but is there a lag effect so to speak. I

898
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't say that it's a lag effect, but I will

899
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: say that just watching and again I haven't watched the

900
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: entire game of that San Francisco forty nine Ers and

901
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins game from this past weekend, but I would say,

902
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 1: forget about the jet lag. They better be ready for

903
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: those pass rushers. They better be ready for Gregory Rousseau

904
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 1: and aj Epanessau and guys like that. Tremaine edmand Is

905
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: making a comeback who I thought had a phenomenal game,

906
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 1: and it seemed like every time he got to a tackle,

907
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 1: he got to that tackle with aggressiveness and with some authorities.

908
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: So forget about the travel issues. I think they're gonna

909
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:17,399
Speaker 1: have some Buffalo Bills issues when the Dolphins come into town. Yeah,

910
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:21,240
Speaker 1: and it's they I mentioned this earlier. Now, no question,

911
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are playing really good football. I mean they

912
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: up until this last game when and they met a

913
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 1: really good team in San Francisco, albeit most of the

914
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:32,359
Speaker 1: game with a backup quarterback. But they made hay offensively

915
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: against the Steelers, the Lions, the Bears, the Browns, and

916
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 1: the Texans. Not really a murderous row. But nevertheless, I

917
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: think they struggle with an outstanding defense that they may

918
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 1: beat meet in Buffalo. What do you think happened with

919
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: two of yesterday? Because everybody's talking about he did not

920
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: look like he was yesterday. Yeah, he looked different than

921
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: he did in that five game winning streak. Well again

922
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 1: he was off. And when you spinning a hire week,

923
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,799
Speaker 1: having to prepare for a certain team's defense and having

924
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 1: to prepare for a guy like a Nick Bosa, and

925
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,400
Speaker 1: again I know of our guy von Miller type, our

926
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: Val Miller. He's a little bit hurt. But you still

927
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 1: have the Gregory Russols and the Shack Lawson's and guys

928
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: like that, with Ed Oliver in the middle. But when

929
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: you when you have so many guys that you have

930
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: to worry about, what happens is you got to think

931
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: about how how that Miami Dolfin's team is going to

932
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: have to prepare because see I believe that in that

933
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: first matchup, I think it was week two or three

934
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: or whatever, I believe in that first matchup that the

935
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 1: Miami Heat is would actually beat us. It wasn't to me.

936
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: It wasn't the guys on the field, It wasn't a

937
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hills, it wasn't the tours are all of that.

938
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 1: It was the heat and you're not gonna have that

939
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: in this particular matchup. And I just think that um

940
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 1: toa preparing for a guy like Nick Bosa week and

941
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: understanding where he was on every single play. I think

942
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: he was just very aware of the pass rush and

943
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: that that pass rushed through off to a superpower, and

944
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: to a superpower is his timing and anticipation. And when

945
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,240
Speaker 1: you you're dealing with an offense that deals in timing

946
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 1: and anticipation, if you could put some type of fear

947
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,959
Speaker 1: in the quarterbacks eyes and have him kind of looking

948
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 1: at the rush and not looking down downfield, it throws

949
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: off that timing and anticipation. You look at our defense,

950
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 1: in particular the Buffalo Bill's defense, I just think we

951
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: got the defensive backs. I think we have the scheme

952
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: along with the pass rush. I think we have all

953
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: of the fastest to make this a very tough game.

954
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: On to a Tonga Biola. Yeah, all right, So now

955
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: let's move ahead here and let's just talk a little

956
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: bit of the Bills run game. Um, you know, James

957
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: Cook sees his most extensive action. I thought he was

958
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: really good when they were running that mid zone scheme there.

959
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he shoots through that hole and it's it's

960
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: an easy eight yards most of the time with him.

961
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 1: I know we've talked to you about how he's a

962
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: great change of pace in comparison to Motor Singletary. How

963
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: far can they take this running game? And what how

964
00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: much bigger can you make Cook's role going forward here? Oh,

965
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:01,840
Speaker 1: it could be, it can be a lot bigger. I

966
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,280
Speaker 1: mean I can envision what we call a pony package

967
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 1: or two running backs in the game with Devin Singletary

968
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: Anna James Cook in the backfield at the same time,

969
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: with three wide receivers. I mean, oh, you can put

970
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 1: two wide receivers and Dawson Knox on the field. I mean,

971
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 1: just how does the defense defend that? You know what

972
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 1: I mean? And so I think as his role continues

973
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: to expand, as he continues to get success. I mean,

974
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: this offensive line was moving people off the football and

975
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:29,280
Speaker 1: when you look at the New England pages, new England

976
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: and they're usually stout against the run, and it didn't matter. Again,

977
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: we moved guys off of the football, and I think

978
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: the more touches that James Cooks gets, the more speed

979
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,840
Speaker 1: and acceleration he can put on tape, that's going to

980
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 1: force defenses to take a pay a little bit more

981
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: of attention to him. And that's when Ken Dorsey can

982
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:47,840
Speaker 1: kind of use them as a chess piece in a

983
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 1: scheme up in a scheme type of a situation to

984
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 1: create some matchup opportunities. But every single skill position that

985
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: you're looking at on this Buffalo Bill's team is looking

986
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: to be explosive and James cook is one of those

987
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: exposed of elements. One of the things we heard and

988
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 1: I mentioned this to Brownie earlier in the show, that

989
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: during the commentary with Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreet, they

990
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: were talking about their conversation with Josh Allen about how

991
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 1: much more in tune or how big a steps they

992
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 1: have made between Josh Allen and Ken Dorsey, about how

993
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: they're communicating what they expect of each other, and it

994
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: seems like they when they talked the way they did

995
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: that there was more of an adjustment phase that was

996
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,959
Speaker 1: going on with this Bill's offense than we maybe thought

997
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: was going to happen at the beginning of the season.

998
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 1: What do you make of that conversation. I think that

999
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: that's what good coaches do. You listen to your players,

1000
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 1: and especially if you got one of those guys, like

1001
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, one of those five or six guys that

1002
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: can will a team to win with just his abilities,

1003
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: his arms, his eyes, he shoulders all of those things.

1004
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 1: That's Josh Allen. We have one of those guys. And

1005
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: so when you have one of those guys and you're

1006
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 1: constantly communicating, especially with a young play caller and Ken Dorston,

1007
00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 1: I know he's been with Josh for a while and

1008
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 1: he's been a part of the organization, but this is

1009
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:05,439
Speaker 1: his first full year calling plays, and so I think,

1010
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:08,879
Speaker 1: you know, he has to get not get information from

1011
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Josh Allen has to get information from him,

1012
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: and together that's how the game plan comes together. Because

1013
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: obviously I like the run game. I like to see

1014
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: the offensive line move. I like to see the line

1015
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 1: of scrimmage move. I'm sure Sean McDermott is in that

1016
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 1: same realm and that same school of thought. But when

1017
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 1: you again, when you got a guy like Josh sh Allen,

1018
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: the offense has to revolve around him, you know what

1019
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, we had a great day running the football,

1020
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, Josh and his

1021
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: ability is what's gonna take us over the top. And

1022
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 1: I think just knowing that and having that open communication

1023
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 1: it makes life easier for everybody involved. At the same time,

1024
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 1: it seems as though the Bills are trying to diversify

1025
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: their offense on the fly. Mic. I mean, they are

1026
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: making a concerted effort the last couple of weeks to

1027
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 1: get their run game in a place where they like it.

1028
00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 1: If they have to turn to it, maybe take a

1029
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 1: little bit of the burden off of Josh. I think

1030
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 1: they know, you know, if they're gonna host playoff games

1031
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, the weather gets a little squirrely come

1032
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 1: late December in January, and you may have to run

1033
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:17,919
Speaker 1: yourself to a victory in some instances, whether that's Josh

1034
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: or the crew. They got an offensive backfield. I guess

1035
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 1: what I'm asking is they took a similar approach last year,

1036
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:28,919
Speaker 1: and over the final month of the season, the Bills

1037
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 1: were second or third in the league and rushing the

1038
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 1: last four or five weeks of the season, and they

1039
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: were an unstoppable force in the playoffs. It looks like

1040
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 1: they're trying to employ that plan here again. Are you

1041
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 1: seeing some of those same things and what they're trying

1042
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: to get accomplished offensively? Absolutely, guys. And I'm gonna I'm

1043
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 1: gonna change garan flip to who the other AFC team

1044
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 1: in Kansas City? Right? I just think that when you

1045
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: look at with Joe Burrow in the Cincinnati Bengals offense

1046
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: did the Kansas City They ran the ball for one

1047
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,680
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty two yards. They were able to play

1048
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 1: big boy football at times. It's not just going out

1049
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 1: there and running the football for two hundred yards. It's

1050
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 1: just about in meetingful moments, you have to be able

1051
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 1: to do it and do it when you need to

1052
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: do it, and be able to keep that guy and

1053
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes off of the football field. So flip it

1054
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 1: back to the Buffalo Bills. I think that's what we're doing.

1055
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: I think that's what the Ken Dorsey and this offensive

1056
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: coach and staff is doing. They're just kind of ailing

1057
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: the gears up, making sure they're ready. So when they

1058
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 1: do meet the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs, who

1059
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 1: will not have a Tyreek Hill, they can play that

1060
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: game where they can slow it down when they need

1061
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 1: to and limit the opportunities that Patrick Mahomes has to

1062
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: possibly win the game. So the Bills, they got the

1063
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 1: first leg of this three game stretch under their belt.

1064
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: They beat the Patriots by two touchdowns. They've got the

1065
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: Jets coming in this weekend. What do you expect, particularly

1066
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 1: with Mike White at quarterback, what do you expect this

1067
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 1: Jet Bills game to look like Sunday? Well, again, I

1068
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 1: know where everybody talks about the quarterbacks, but at the

1069
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 1: end of the day, Robert Sala and this New York

1070
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:05,919
Speaker 1: Jets team, they're all about defense. They're all about hitting

1071
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 1: on defense. They have a great secondary on the back end.

1072
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see those moments because again, Sauce Garden,

1073
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 1: he doesn't travel, but there will be moments where he's

1074
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 1: one on one with Steph Diggs, and I expect Steph

1075
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 1: Diggs to take them to school, you know what I mean,

1076
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 1: take them to school, learn some lessons on you know,

1077
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 1: a how to defend the route runner. Because Steph Diggs,

1078
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: I definitely, I think will be able to route them up,

1079
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 1: but they know how to get after the passer. And

1080
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 1: which scares me about this matchup is Quinny Williams. That

1081
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: dude is having an All Pro season. He's a guy

1082
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: that's a playmaker at the at the three technique position,

1083
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:42,959
Speaker 1: which is the you know, outside shade of the guard.

1084
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 1: M He has this ability to split double teams. You know,

1085
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: people always talk about defensive tackles taken on double teams.

1086
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 1: Where there's two types of defensive tackles. Guys that take

1087
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: on double teams and allow the linebackers to run and hit.

1088
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 1: Then there's guys like Ed Oliver, Aaron Donald and Quinny

1089
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 1: Williams this particularly year, where they're able to take on

1090
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 1: the double team, split the double teams and actually make

1091
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 1: the play. He's a playmaker, so offensively, I think from

1092
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: a running game standpoint, get our double teams ready to

1093
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: be able to double team that guy, double team him.

1094
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 1: Don't worry about going off to the second level. Make

1095
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 1: sure you take care of Quinny Williams, especially in the

1096
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 1: run game. All right, And I watched a lot of

1097
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 1: Jets vikings yesterday, Mike, and you know, Mike White, much

1098
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 1: like he did last year. He comes in for his

1099
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 1: first start, he lights it up for three hundred yards.

1100
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 1: They win a football game. Everybody's gaga about Mike White.

1101
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 1: It's it's practically like Lynn sanity with the Knicks, like

1102
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 1: ten years ago in New York when they're blowing things

1103
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: up in the media and then he comes out yesterday. Yeah,

1104
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 1: he throws for three hundred and sixty nine yards, but

1105
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a single touchdown. They go one for

1106
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 1: six in the red zone. He throws a couple of picks.

1107
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 1: I feel like he is a scripted quarterback. When the

1108
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 1: play unfolds as it's supposed to, we can make reads,

1109
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 1: deliver the football, make your offense functional. As soon as

1110
01:01:58,040 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: you got to go off script with that guy, it's

1111
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 1: a disaster. He's got no improvisational skills. He's not a

1112
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 1: second reaction player at all. So what could be the

1113
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 1: defensive approach for the Bills that would make them effective

1114
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 1: against Mike White? Knowing the improvisational skills more often than

1115
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: not are not there for him, well, first and foremost,

1116
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 1: to that, to that, to that end, um with Mike

1117
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 1: White sees pre snap needs to be totally different than

1118
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 1: what he sees post snap. Just that simple fact right

1119
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 1: there would force a little bit of hesitation in Mike White. Um,

1120
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:35,480
Speaker 1: that's number one. Number two. Josh Allen has a lot

1121
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: to do with this. Josh Allen kN dors in this offense,

1122
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 1: has a lot to do with this because for the

1123
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 1: Jets and Mike and Mike White to be effective, they

1124
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 1: have to play the game a certain way, and throwing

1125
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 1: the ball fifty seven times that that ain't the way

1126
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 1: to do it. I think they want to run the

1127
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:54,440
Speaker 1: football with James Robinson the company leaning on the run game,

1128
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 1: be explosive in the passing game, on play action passes,

1129
01:02:57,240 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 1: and play tough defense. Well, Josh Allen could just score

1130
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 1: every time they get the football, put up points and

1131
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: literally talk Mike Leflour, who is the officsive coordinator for

1132
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 1: the New York Jets, talk him out of that run

1133
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: game and play action and all of that, and get

1134
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 1: the pass attempts up the close to sixty and that's

1135
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 1: when Mike White will throw you the football from a

1136
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 1: Bill's defense them. Yeah, I think I agree with you.

1137
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 1: I think the real key to this game is confusing

1138
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 1: Mike White and making sure you score enough points to

1139
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 1: put some pressure on their team that they got to

1140
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 1: kind of keep up with you. It's gonna be difficult

1141
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 1: because the Jet, like you said, the Jets are really

1142
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: good football team. Defensively, they've got it going on. They

1143
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 1: got some people that can play Sauce Gardner not with

1144
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna be really good. The guys up front,

1145
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 1: Quinny Williams, those guys can get it gun done. But

1146
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be up to you to stay on the

1147
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 1: field and score and be efficient. And also when the

1148
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 1: Jets do have the football, you gotta make it hard

1149
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: for Mike White to know where he's going with the football.

1150
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,040
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the key I think in this game,

1151
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 1: at least here on a on a Monday. You know,

1152
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 1: thanks for figuring it out, first team, right. I will

1153
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 1: say this, Mike Um. Last year Mike White did play

1154
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 1: against the Bills and he threw a forty four times,

1155
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 1: no touchdowns, four picks, and they lost, oh going away,

1156
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 1: forty five to seventeen. So I think the magic number

1157
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 1: Mike is anything over thirty five pass attempts and the

1158
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 1: Bills are probably good. Right. I totally agree with you

1159
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 1: now and again when you got that. You got this,

1160
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: this well oiled machine of an offense with Josh Allen,

1161
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 1: but you know, conducting it, you always give yourself a chance.

1162
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 1: And one of the note guys from this past week's performance,

1163
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 1: I thought your Davis White is showing promise. He's getting

1164
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 1: his legs back up underneath him and he's gonna be challenged.

1165
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson first round picked for the for the New

1166
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: York Jets again Trey. Trey's not going to travel, I

1167
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:56,920
Speaker 1: don't think, but in spots it's gonna be a pretty

1168
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 1: dope matchup. I want to see if Trey has his

1169
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 1: legs back, because that kid is pretty quick. All right, Mike,

1170
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 1: thanks as always for joining us. We'll catch up with

1171
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 1: you next week when hopefully Buffalo has got another one

1172
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 1: in the win column. I't know hopefully about it. Man,

1173
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: We went into damn. Thanks then all the way up.

1174
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 1: Let's get it guys. All right, Mike, thank you very much.

1175
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 1: That's Michael Robinson joining us here from NFL Network, as

1176
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 1: he does every week here on One Bills Live. And yeah,

1177
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 1: I like the approach that he suggested, you know, disguise

1178
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: and when you have payer back there, you you have

1179
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 1: a greater chance of making it look awfully different pre

1180
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 1: snap to post snap with the way he's able to

1181
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 1: almost line up completely out of position and give Mike

1182
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 1: White one thought when something else is actually being deployed.

1183
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 1: We've seen him getting in trouble. That's where the New

1184
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 1: England Patriots got their touchdown last weekend was when you

1185
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 1: know on the on the play down the side to

1186
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 1: Jones with the short pass, long run Hamlin Hammler right,

1187
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 1: Hamlin was so far they were trying to stem into it.

1188
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 1: Hamlin was so deep at the snap, not allowing the

1189
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 1: Patriots are seemingly not allowing Patriots to know he had

1190
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 1: coverage on that slot receiver. He was so far, had

1191
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 1: so far to travel post snap, it was hard for

1192
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 1: him to get there and corral the runner in. That's

1193
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 1: what happens when you're trying to disguise it and the

1194
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:17,960
Speaker 1: offense knows is coming. That's what happened on that play,

1195
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 1: and that's so that's what you're up against. If Mike

1196
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,200
Speaker 1: White can get rid of the football quick and the Bills,

1197
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:26,320
Speaker 1: because of their late move to the actual defense, they're

1198
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 1: gonna play if you give them that little window of

1199
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 1: time that you're out of position to getting into position

1200
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 1: after the snap. If the offense can take advantage of it,

1201
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:36,440
Speaker 1: that's where you give up big plays and that's what

1202
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 1: happened to the Bills against New England. So the Bills

1203
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 1: have got to get on it, and we've seen him

1204
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 1: working that. Although there's only one play in the whole

1205
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:47,919
Speaker 1: game where you saw it be a problem, it's still

1206
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 1: a problem as you stem into those defenses late. I'm

1207
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 1: trying to remember who was out of the lineup defensively

1208
01:06:56,120 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 1: for the Bills when they last played the Jet and

1209
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 1: I want to say Milano did not play in that

1210
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 1: game and now and I'm looking at his game logs,

1211
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 1: Yeah he did not play. So no Milano, no Tredavious

1212
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 1: White in the last matchup in Week nine. Those are

1213
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,000
Speaker 1: two pretty important dudes to have in your defensive line.

1214
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 1: But then may change things slightly, but yeah, you go

1215
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 1: with what you got it. It's not like the Jets

1216
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: aren't going to have film on what the defense is

1217
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 1: like with Milano and Trey White in it, but they

1218
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 1: got to face up against it. We'll see. Yeah, that's huge.

1219
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 1: The Bills are going to be more healthy this time

1220
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:42,439
Speaker 1: when they face the Jets. Do you feel differently about

1221
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 1: the Bills having the top seed at the end of

1222
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 1: the season than you did on Friday? Did this weekend's

1223
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:49,840
Speaker 1: events with all the help the Bills got in the

1224
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 1: conference standings, make you feel differently about the Bills having

1225
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 1: that top seed when the regular season is over? You

1226
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:58,360
Speaker 1: can let us know at eight three, five fifty one

1227
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. Let's go to Gabe in Rochester next,

1228
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: what you got for his Gabe, you're on one Bill's life? Yeah,

1229
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:09,160
Speaker 1: how you don't. Yeah, I'm just wondering where do you

1230
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 1: guys feel about ob J And you know, they pull

1231
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,000
Speaker 1: out the red carpet for him and I not get that,

1232
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 1: But and do we really need him? I mean, it's

1233
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:21,680
Speaker 1: just I'm just saying, like, what don't we just we

1234
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:25,800
Speaker 1: have a good team already, and we have like you know,

1235
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 1: we want Hines to stop up in his role, and

1236
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 1: we we don't know about his health. So I mean,

1237
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering that if it's worth the two year deal.

1238
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe we're looking into next year to that,

1239
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:42,680
Speaker 1: but I'm just wondering if this year is going to

1240
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 1: work out for them. Yeah, It's interesting, Gabe, because here's

1241
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 1: the thing. If ode, if OBJ is healthy and ready

1242
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:53,000
Speaker 1: to play and looks sharp in a workout or that

1243
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 1: he can convince you that he is, he helps you.

1244
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:58,760
Speaker 1: I mean, there's just no two ways about it. He's

1245
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 1: a great player, got great abilities, he's fast, great route runner,

1246
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:06,559
Speaker 1: and he can catch it. That kind of guy helps

1247
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: you win, no question about it. There's no two ways

1248
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:10,680
Speaker 1: about it. Now, certainly you got to pay him and

1249
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 1: give him the contract he's looking for and the situation

1250
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 1: he's looking for. Certainly, with the situation, he'd be hard

1251
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 1: pressed to find a better one than he got him Buffalo.

1252
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 1: Whether it's Dallas, whether it's the Giants, or whether it's Buffalo,

1253
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 1: the three teams that everybody's thinking he's down to. Yeah,

1254
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 1: none of the other two situations are any better than

1255
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:33,240
Speaker 1: they are here in Buffalo. Absolutely not. He would he

1256
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 1: could play here and he could help him, no question. Now,

1257
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:38,600
Speaker 1: can you fit it in with the salary cap? I

1258
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:41,360
Speaker 1: don't know. Do you have to give him too big

1259
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:43,880
Speaker 1: a deal? And is that too if he physically that

1260
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 1: he would come in and then all of a sudden

1261
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 1: he pulls a hamstring in week one and now he's

1262
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 1: on the shelf for a month, maybe, but you don't

1263
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 1: know that about any player. John Brown's this a perfect example. So,

1264
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 1: and it seems with the John Brown signing that maybe

1265
01:09:58,040 --> 01:09:59,560
Speaker 1: the Bills are in the market for another guy, and

1266
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:01,200
Speaker 1: maybe they don't think they're going to be able to

1267
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 1: land ob J because they've already had preliminary conversations with

1268
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 1: his representation and they're looking for a three year, guaranteed

1269
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 1: deal for such and such money whatever, and the Bills

1270
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:12,600
Speaker 1: are saying, you know, we're not going to do it.

1271
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:17,760
Speaker 1: That's why John Brown's here. I don't know. But if

1272
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:20,759
Speaker 1: push comes to shove and you're asking me if OBJ

1273
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 1: could help this team, my answer is absolutely positively. Yet,

1274
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:27,680
Speaker 1: if he's one hundred percent healthy, absolutely he helps you

1275
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,000
Speaker 1: get good players, make you better. And here's the other

1276
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 1: thing to think about. I think you could safely make

1277
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 1: the argument that the depth at the receiver position is

1278
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:40,560
Speaker 1: stronger on the Chief's roster than it is on the

1279
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 1: Bill's roster, and it's stronger on the Bengals roster than

1280
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 1: it is on the Bill's roster. So if you're going

1281
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 1: to get in an arms race and you've got an

1282
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 1: all world quarterback, just like Cincinnati and Kansas City, do

1283
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 1: and you have the opportunity to give him another weapon

1284
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:58,160
Speaker 1: to make yourselves that much better in the passing game

1285
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:02,080
Speaker 1: against him. Then you then you do it if you

1286
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 1: know if the if the finances work and yes, the

1287
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 1: question is is he healthy and you know team doctors

1288
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 1: and your medical staff will determine that. And I'll say

1289
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:17,800
Speaker 1: this too, Um, you're not getting him cheap. Well, no,

1290
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 1: because you have two or three teams that are interested

1291
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 1: into signing and doubt and Jerry Jones wants him that

1292
01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 1: you're not getting him cheap, and you're gonna have to

1293
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 1: restructure some guys to get it done. You're gonna have

1294
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:32,679
Speaker 1: to get some create some cap space, and so you've

1295
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 1: got to really decide if that's the kind of investment

1296
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: you want to make in a guy like O. B J.

1297
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 1: And there is a risk because it's two acls to

1298
01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:46,160
Speaker 1: the same knee in the span of about twenty four months.

1299
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:52,320
Speaker 1: That's not nothing. So the doctors will they probably already

1300
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:55,640
Speaker 1: have since he was here over the weekend, taking a

1301
01:11:55,680 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: painstaking approach to examine that knee and examine structural integrity

1302
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:06,639
Speaker 1: and all that. So they've they've checked that box. They've

1303
01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 1: probably talked well maybe they haven't talked finances because from

1304
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 1: what we understand, no team has made a contract offer yet.

1305
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 1: I think basically OBJ is kind of running the show here.

1306
01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 1: He's going to visit all three teams. He's supposed to

1307
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:20,600
Speaker 1: be visiting Dallas today and tomorrow and then make a

1308
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:22,640
Speaker 1: decision as early as Wednesday as to the team he

1309
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 1: would like to play for, and then they'll talk turkey

1310
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:29,240
Speaker 1: at that point. But you know where it stands now

1311
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 1: is it's in a holding pattern. If the balls in

1312
01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: Obj's court, he's going to make it the choice about

1313
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:37,120
Speaker 1: who he'd like to play for, and if the money

1314
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:39,320
Speaker 1: lines up, that's where it'll go. If it doesn't, well

1315
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 1: then he'll choose Team Bright and it'll go from there.

1316
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: I think the thing that Bills have going for him

1317
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: is a situation and the and the shot they have

1318
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 1: at the at the title. If if Obj I don't

1319
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 1: despite what happened last night against the Indianapolis Colds, the

1320
01:12:55,680 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys to me are not the team that's gonna win.

1321
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:04,080
Speaker 1: That's not the favorite in the NFS NFC. The Bills

1322
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 1: are the favorite in the AFC, and it's been that

1323
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:09,000
Speaker 1: way since preseason. Now. Certainly you know the game they

1324
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 1: dropped against the Jets and the Vikings. Notwithstanding they're tough out.

1325
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:18,400
Speaker 1: They're a tough out and Obj you can see a

1326
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 1: spot for him right away here in Buffalo. But you know,

1327
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 1: all this is it's all moot if the money gets

1328
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:29,639
Speaker 1: in the way, which I think is probably the biggest,

1329
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 1: the biggest obstacle for all three of the teams we're

1330
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:39,400
Speaker 1: talking about. Yeah, the Miami Dolphins might be without their

1331
01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 1: offensive their starting offensive tackles, or at least one of

1332
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:46,600
Speaker 1: them for longer than they anticipated. They have made a

1333
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:50,880
Speaker 1: signing at the offensive tackle position. We'll tell you who

1334
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:53,479
Speaker 1: that is when we return here on One Bills Live,

1335
01:13:53,560 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 1: presented by Collid of Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. We

1336
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 1: are on one Bills Live on Monday. Chris Brown, Steve

1337
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 1: Tasker with you. We mentioned in the last segment that

1338
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:25,040
Speaker 1: the Bills Dolphins game in week fifteen now has a

1339
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:28,200
Speaker 1: day and time. It is going to be Saturday night,

1340
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:32,360
Speaker 1: prime time, December seventeenth, eight fifteen pm on NFL Network.

1341
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 1: Fear not, if you are in the local viewing area

1342
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, it will be on a local over the

1343
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 1: air channel Channel seven. I believe is what I saw

1344
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:47,880
Speaker 1: and I like it for two reasons. One, it's one

1345
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:50,479
Speaker 1: less day for the Dolphins to recover after playing out

1346
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 1: on the West Coast at the Chargers this week, they

1347
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:54,559
Speaker 1: have to fly all the way across country and then

1348
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:56,560
Speaker 1: they have to be up here a day earlier. The

1349
01:14:56,680 --> 01:14:59,400
Speaker 1: second reason I like it is because it is at

1350
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:03,320
Speaker 1: night when the sun is down and the temperatures will

1351
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:11,040
Speaker 1: be even colder. Ah. Here is the full Saturday Tripleheaders

1352
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:15,360
Speaker 1: slate that the NFL is laid out four week fifteen,

1353
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:21,799
Speaker 1: one pm Cold Said Vikings, four thirty pm Ravens at Browns,

1354
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:26,919
Speaker 1: and then eight fifteen Dolphins at Bills. And then Sunday,

1355
01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:30,120
Speaker 1: the game that got flexed into the Sunday nighttime slot

1356
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 1: is Giants at Commanders. The rematch of yesterday's game is

1357
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:38,479
Speaker 1: the Sunday night game. They flex the Patriots Raiders Sunday

1358
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 1: night football game out of the primetime slot and into

1359
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:45,640
Speaker 1: the four pm slot. And you understand why they did that,

1360
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 1: Patriots Raiders. It's like, yeah, well, I'll say that on

1361
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:53,280
Speaker 1: what day was that Sunday? That's the Sunday night game.

1362
01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:57,720
Speaker 1: Now on Week fifteen, the Patriots Raiders the flex out

1363
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:00,160
Speaker 1: to four pm from Sunday night. I got to tell

1364
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:02,840
Speaker 1: you the four PM slots the biggest slot of the weekend. Yeah,

1365
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:05,760
Speaker 1: but I wonder why they did that Raiders Patriots. I

1366
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:08,240
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe NBC's like, we don't want it, can

1367
01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:11,360
Speaker 1: we get something better? Yeah? Maybe that may be. And they,

1368
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, they have no problem taking giants commanders to

1369
01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: giant television markets, you know what I mean, New York, Washington, DC.

1370
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 1: They probably had something to do with it as well.

1371
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 1: Not that Boston and Las Vegas or tiny by any stretch,

1372
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 1: but yeah, who knows sometimes why they do what they do.

1373
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:34,040
Speaker 1: We do want to get to the tweet sheets, because

1374
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:37,519
Speaker 1: we've been asking you all day today. Do you feel

1375
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:40,560
Speaker 1: differently about the Bills having the top seed at the

1376
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:45,360
Speaker 1: end of the season than you did on Friday? Has

1377
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:47,880
Speaker 1: your mood changed and in a good way after all

1378
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 1: the help they got over the weekend. Are you more

1379
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:53,120
Speaker 1: confident or less confident that they can hang onto it? Yeah?

1380
01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:55,840
Speaker 1: Five games to play destiny in their own hands. We'll

1381
01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:57,479
Speaker 1: get to the comments in a second. We did tell

1382
01:16:57,520 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 1: you at the break that we would let you know

1383
01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are going to be making a move this

1384
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:05,839
Speaker 1: According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, they played last weekend without

1385
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:09,160
Speaker 1: their top two offensive tackles to Ron Armstead and Austin Jackson.

1386
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:11,360
Speaker 1: Both of them were out injured and it did play

1387
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 1: a role in them losing that game yesterday. It looks

1388
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 1: as though they might be without one of those tackles

1389
01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:19,280
Speaker 1: for an extended period of time because according to ESPN's

1390
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,840
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter, the Dolphins are going to be signing free

1391
01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:27,360
Speaker 1: agent veteran offensive tackle Eric Fisher. So Fisher looks like

1392
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 1: he'll be headed to the Dolphins to serve as a

1393
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:35,479
Speaker 1: stop gap measure there because their two backup offensive tackles

1394
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:38,519
Speaker 1: yesterday granted against the good forty nine ers front, but

1395
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:41,920
Speaker 1: they were having a rough day up there. It was

1396
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:44,760
Speaker 1: not pretty. It was not pretty at all. So it

1397
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:46,759
Speaker 1: looks like Eric Fisher is on his way to Miami

1398
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:50,880
Speaker 1: to help plug a hole at the offensive tackle position

1399
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:54,720
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. So you're aware of that going into

1400
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:57,800
Speaker 1: the Bill's Dolphins games a little over a week from now.

1401
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 1: But let's get to the tweet sheet, which has allies

1402
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:02,479
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

1403
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:06,000
Speaker 1: equipment moving company and the Buffalo Bills, and Veto says

1404
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:09,680
Speaker 1: team is absolutely where it needs to be right now.

1405
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 1: The process is working, okay, I mean, we're all happy

1406
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:18,960
Speaker 1: they're in the top seed. The question is, do you

1407
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:23,240
Speaker 1: feel more positive about that coming to Fruition now come

1408
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:25,080
Speaker 1: the end of the season than you did on Friday

1409
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:27,280
Speaker 1: based on all the help they got, because there's no

1410
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:29,160
Speaker 1: guarantees they're gonna get any more help the rest of

1411
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:33,560
Speaker 1: the way. This past Sunday was a true confluence of

1412
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:36,639
Speaker 1: events that the Bills needed to happen. I mean, even

1413
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 1: the Titans lost. This was it's reminiscent of breaking the

1414
01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:42,080
Speaker 1: drought when everything had to fall their way and it did,

1415
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:47,040
Speaker 1: and that involved the Bengals too, exactly. So it's yeah,

1416
01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:51,080
Speaker 1: it's it feels a little bit fragile right now. The

1417
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:54,320
Speaker 1: Bills have got a tough road down the stretch with

1418
01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:57,599
Speaker 1: the five games they've got. Certainly I'm I mean, I'm

1419
01:18:57,640 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 1: looking at the Bill, I'm looking at the Bears the same. Okay,

1420
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 1: they can beat the Bears, but the Jets and the

1421
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 1: Dolphins are the two teams and the Bills have lost too.

1422
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:09,439
Speaker 1: The Bengals just came off beating the other team who's

1423
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:14,400
Speaker 1: in the favorite seat for the AFC Championship and the

1424
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:16,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs they just had an impressive win over them, and

1425
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:18,840
Speaker 1: of course the Bills. Then they end up with the

1426
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:20,920
Speaker 1: New England Patriots, which is a little bit like the

1427
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:24,240
Speaker 1: Bears these days. But this is it's much more difficult

1428
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:30,200
Speaker 1: closing sequence of the season and the schedule with the Jets, Dolphins, Bears, Bengals,

1429
01:19:30,240 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 1: Patriots for the Bills than it is for you know,

1430
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:37,280
Speaker 1: the other the other team, the Chiefs. The Chiefs finish

1431
01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:44,479
Speaker 1: with the Broncos, Texans, Seahawks, Broncos Raiders. Good lord, come on, man,

1432
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:49,920
Speaker 1: that's a cakewalk. Now. The Seahawks are feisty, they're playing well,

1433
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:52,720
Speaker 1: but the Texans come in, come on, and the Broncos.

1434
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 1: The Broncos can't score, no, and they don't have to. Well,

1435
01:19:56,439 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 1: I mean, the Broncos got a good defense, but or

1436
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:01,840
Speaker 1: they got to score more than nine, right, ten to

1437
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 1: nine yesterday to a backup quarterback. Right. The only chance

1438
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:10,680
Speaker 1: the Broncos have in beating the Chiefs one of the

1439
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:13,040
Speaker 1: two times they're gonna play in the next four weeks,

1440
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:20,960
Speaker 1: is if they catch somehow lightning in a bottle offensively. Yeah,

1441
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:24,840
Speaker 1: so there is no chance. Then the Raiders, Okay, Raiders.

1442
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:27,360
Speaker 1: Maybe they rise up. Maybe the Raiders maybe have a

1443
01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:32,240
Speaker 1: shot at the end, maybe to do something. The Raiders

1444
01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:36,720
Speaker 1: sitting there at five and seven and week eighteen game

1445
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 1: against the chief is going to be meaningful. Yeah. If

1446
01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:43,559
Speaker 1: they beat the Rams, Patriots, Steelers, and Niners in a row. Yeah,

1447
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:48,559
Speaker 1: okay maybe no, the Raiders are going to be packed

1448
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:53,320
Speaker 1: and ready to leave. So yeah, the Chiefs are rolling

1449
01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:56,400
Speaker 1: downhill to the one of the easiest remaining schedules and

1450
01:20:56,520 --> 01:20:59,200
Speaker 1: it's not even close. Jeremy on the tweet Chief says,

1451
01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:02,760
Speaker 1: if they continue to play solid football, I feel better

1452
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:06,960
Speaker 1: for sure. The next three weeks are crucial after Cincinnati

1453
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 1: doesn't seem done yet. Yeah, that is a game that

1454
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:13,240
Speaker 1: looms large on a Buffalo schedule. Basically, the Dolphins and

1455
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:16,680
Speaker 1: Bengals games are probably going to be two of the

1456
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 1: more difficult games coming up here for Buffalo. Well, the

1457
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 1: Jets game only because of Mike White, the uncertainty of

1458
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:25,799
Speaker 1: surrounding the quarterback of the Jets and how his ability

1459
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:29,760
Speaker 1: to score enough points to play to win. But you're right,

1460
01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:34,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that's it, and we're looking at the graph

1461
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:37,719
Speaker 1: kind of right now. Remaining schedule for the Bills, the Chiefs,

1462
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:40,439
Speaker 1: the Ravens, the Bengals, and the Dolphins. I mean even

1463
01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens don't don't well, they end up with

1464
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:47,760
Speaker 1: the Bengals, but they go Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Atlanta, Pittsburgh. Yeah. Well,

1465
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Ravens, I know, when I looked

1466
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:53,200
Speaker 1: it up a week ago, had two of the three

1467
01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:57,719
Speaker 1: easiest remaining strength of schedules in the entire league. Forget

1468
01:21:57,720 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: about the age Bengals not so much. Though they got Cleveland, Tampa,

1469
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:05,360
Speaker 1: New England, Buffalo, Baltimore. The Bengals could stumble a little

1470
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:07,599
Speaker 1: bit in there. I mean, particularly you hope they stumble

1471
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:11,000
Speaker 1: against Buffalo, obviously, but you know, Tampa Bay is a

1472
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:14,080
Speaker 1: little bit of a wild card. Cleveland's got a nice roster.

1473
01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see. Yeah. Chris on the tweet sheet

1474
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:24,640
Speaker 1: says it's not surprising to me that they're back in

1475
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:26,679
Speaker 1: first place. But I'm thrilled that even on a Sunday

1476
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:30,040
Speaker 1: there's no Bills football, they still win. How much do

1477
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 1: they win? You might ask Frank Schwab Yahoo Sports. He says,

1478
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:36,960
Speaker 1: nobody had a better Week thirteen than the Bills. They

1479
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:40,160
Speaker 1: had a potentially season changing Sunday, even though they didn't

1480
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 1: play the Bills. Week started with a strong road win

1481
01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:46,280
Speaker 1: as we know, so a lot changed as we know

1482
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:50,760
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and because of it, the odds are back

1483
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:54,479
Speaker 1: in Buffalo's favor Last week, the Chiefs, as we know it,

1484
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:57,240
Speaker 1: took over as the Super Bowl favorites in Vegas. It

1485
01:22:57,360 --> 01:22:59,160
Speaker 1: was the first time all season the Bills were not

1486
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 1: in the top spot. That flipped after yesterday. The Bills

1487
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 1: are now at plus seventy plus three seventy five to

1488
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:11,320
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. Chiefs are plus four fifty, Eagles

1489
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:16,519
Speaker 1: are plus five hundred, followed by the Cowboys, Bengals, Niners, Dolphins, Vikings. Yeah.

1490
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:19,280
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. The game that the Bengals put

1491
01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:24,960
Speaker 1: together yesterday afternoon against the Chiefs was really really impressive,

1492
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:30,360
Speaker 1: really impressive, And like I said earlier in the show,

1493
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 1: they were They went from five and four three weeks

1494
01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:36,559
Speaker 1: ago to eight and four after yesterday's win, and they

1495
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:42,880
Speaker 1: looked good doing it. I'm surprised the Bengals aren't higher

1496
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:44,960
Speaker 1: on the list. Mike. You know, I've always pooh pooed

1497
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,880
Speaker 1: the Bengals ability to put two good seasons back to back,

1498
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:50,960
Speaker 1: and they're on their way. Now, how about this. The

1499
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:53,559
Speaker 1: Bengals and the forty nine ers have the same odds

1500
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 1: plus eleven hundred. How the hell do the forty nine

1501
01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:58,360
Speaker 1: ers have this just as good a chance as the Bengals.

1502
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:00,639
Speaker 1: They didn't even have a quarterback, right, and their quarterbacks

1503
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 1: out for the year. How is that help me with that? Man? Well,

1504
01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:10,200
Speaker 1: here's the thing. This is not. This is not And

1505
01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:12,320
Speaker 1: I've always said this about gambling odds and the way

1506
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 1: they do it, and I know I'm not a gambler,

1507
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:16,400
Speaker 1: so you can take what you want. Here's the thing.

1508
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:22,000
Speaker 1: It is not an All the odds are is an assessment,

1509
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 1: an accurate assessment of where public perception is for every team,

1510
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:29,800
Speaker 1: and most people ninety nine percent of the people in

1511
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:37,960
Speaker 1: the world only follow one team closely, so that those

1512
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:40,880
Speaker 1: teams have differing fan bases that gamble different amounts of

1513
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:42,400
Speaker 1: money on whatever it is. So you go to the

1514
01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:46,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys always have a bigger swing because more people follow them,

1515
01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:47,720
Speaker 1: the same with the Giants. That kind of thing. So

1516
01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:50,479
Speaker 1: saying the forty nine ers are heavy betters, well, San

1517
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:56,720
Speaker 1: Francisco is a team that whatever they are, move the

1518
01:24:56,800 --> 01:24:59,120
Speaker 1: needle a little bit more than the Bengals do. Okay,

1519
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:02,600
Speaker 1: that's fair, and all the odds are is an assessment

1520
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:07,200
Speaker 1: of where the gambling houses believe the money is, the

1521
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:09,840
Speaker 1: public money is, and where the perception how positive it

1522
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:13,479
Speaker 1: is for each team, and most people are individual in

1523
01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:18,920
Speaker 1: their assessment of those teams. It's all about their team. Yeah,

1524
01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:22,160
Speaker 1: speaking of how they feel about their team, MC on

1525
01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:24,760
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet says, I still feel the same. We

1526
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:27,360
Speaker 1: still need to win out. Casey has a very easy

1527
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 1: schedule and we have to play in Chicago and incense

1528
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:33,519
Speaker 1: with a suspect defensive backfield, poor tackling in an offense

1529
01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:38,320
Speaker 1: playing below expectations. Wow, that's a little harsh. What do

1530
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:41,519
Speaker 1: you think about the need for Buffalo to win out?

1531
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:46,000
Speaker 1: Can they afford any margin of error here the rest

1532
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:47,960
Speaker 1: of the way in light of the schedule that you

1533
01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 1: laid out for the Chiefs the rest of the way

1534
01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 1: and knowing the schedule for the Bengals the rest of

1535
01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:55,720
Speaker 1: the way, well, I mean you have a head to

1536
01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:59,799
Speaker 1: head in there with Cincinnati. Obviously, it's like everything, Brownie.

1537
01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:03,640
Speaker 1: We're sitting here with five weeks to go from this

1538
01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:07,280
Speaker 1: end of it, and after just watching and with our

1539
01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:09,840
Speaker 1: recency bias of what we just saw yesterday and over

1540
01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:13,200
Speaker 1: the weekend and say, yeah, they gotta win out. I mean,

1541
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:14,960
Speaker 1: from this end of it, that's what it looks like.

1542
01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 1: That's what it looks like. Keep your head down, keep winning,

1543
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:20,960
Speaker 1: and just keep grinding away and take none of these

1544
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:24,760
Speaker 1: games for granted, particularly the one you got this week. Right, Well,

1545
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:28,160
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not anticipating that, especially after they lost

1546
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:29,800
Speaker 1: a game they probably felt they should have won to

1547
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:31,680
Speaker 1: the Jets in Week nine. I mean, they gave that

1548
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:35,720
Speaker 1: one away. The Jets played good, don't get me wrong,

1549
01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:38,320
Speaker 1: but they played the perfect game and the Bills kind

1550
01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:40,680
Speaker 1: of let's mess it up. Let's think about this. This

1551
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:45,920
Speaker 1: Bills team is exactly who we think they are. They

1552
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 1: alone are the team that beats the Buffalo Bills. The

1553
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:55,880
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. You couldn't you can't ask for more fortuitous

1554
01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 1: ending to that game to give them a victory here

1555
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:02,679
Speaker 1: in Buffalo Miami game early in the season. Buffalo fans

1556
01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:07,240
Speaker 1: and are completely frustrated about how that game transpired and

1557
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:10,800
Speaker 1: the way it ended up. And the Jet game. You

1558
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:14,240
Speaker 1: said it, the Bills were their own worst enemy. In

1559
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:16,880
Speaker 1: all three of the Bills losses this season, they have

1560
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 1: done it to themselves. Is that an issue that's going

1561
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 1: to happen to them going forward? Maybe? I don't know

1562
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:26,000
Speaker 1: is they're gonna Are they gonna do that in a

1563
01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:27,800
Speaker 1: game where the team on the other side of the

1564
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,439
Speaker 1: field is good enough to take advantage of it. It

1565
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:32,720
Speaker 1: happened to him in Miami, it happened to him in

1566
01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 1: New York, and it happened to him here against Minnesota. Yeah,

1567
01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:37,160
Speaker 1: there are teams out there that can take advantage of

1568
01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:40,720
Speaker 1: it when you give it to them. This team is

1569
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:42,800
Speaker 1: their own worst enemy. That It was that way before

1570
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:45,080
Speaker 1: the New England game this last week, we said, hey, Lego,

1571
01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:46,880
Speaker 1: they mind their p's and ques, they're gonna be fine,

1572
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:51,479
Speaker 1: and they were. That game was never in doubt. That's

1573
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 1: where they're sitting to it. That's the team that is

1574
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:55,920
Speaker 1: in the number one seed right now. They are their

1575
01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:59,120
Speaker 1: own worst enemy. If they play hard, play free, and

1576
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:06,599
Speaker 1: stay away from their own mistakes, nobody beats them. We'll

1577
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,360
Speaker 1: take a break here, come back with more of your

1578
01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:10,240
Speaker 1: thoughts on the tweet sheet and your phone calls next

1579
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:12,519
Speaker 1: here on one Bill's Line presented by Collide Health, It's

1580
01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:29,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, Welcome back to One Bills Live.

1581
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:31,559
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you here on a Monday,

1582
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:34,519
Speaker 1: a day where the Bills hold the top spot in

1583
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:38,080
Speaker 1: the AFC Conference thanks to a boatload of help from

1584
01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:42,840
Speaker 1: a number of teams. Yesterday, Dolphins lose, Titans lose, Chiefs lose,

1585
01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:48,640
Speaker 1: Jets lose. Yippie kayo KaiA. We are asking you on

1586
01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:50,880
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet today do you feel differently about the

1587
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:53,439
Speaker 1: Bills having the top seed at the end of the

1588
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:57,160
Speaker 1: season than you did on Friday? Basically you might have

1589
01:28:57,200 --> 01:28:59,479
Speaker 1: had a little trepidation on Friday. Hey, great, we gotta win,

1590
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:00,960
Speaker 1: but we need a lot of teams to lose. Now

1591
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:02,519
Speaker 1: you had all those teams lose, you're in the top

1592
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:05,280
Speaker 1: spot in the AFC. Do you feel differently about them

1593
01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:08,360
Speaker 1: holding onto that thing come the end of the season?

1594
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:10,479
Speaker 1: Eight h three oh five fifty the number to get

1595
01:29:10,520 --> 01:29:12,519
Speaker 1: on board. But we go back to the tweet sheet

1596
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:15,920
Speaker 1: for now, and Lex says, I'll see in January. So

1597
01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:18,840
Speaker 1: much can happen between now and then. Home field is

1598
01:29:18,880 --> 01:29:21,760
Speaker 1: an advantage, but not a guarantee. Ask the Dolphins. Let's

1599
01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:26,599
Speaker 1: enjoy the ride as fans and keep focused week to week. Okay,

1600
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:28,680
Speaker 1: I mean that kind of sounds like coach speak. There

1601
01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 1: be a fan. Let's come on, Lex, listen. If you're

1602
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:34,320
Speaker 1: not going to be if you're not gonna be illogical

1603
01:29:34,439 --> 01:29:38,920
Speaker 1: and passionate, I don't need to read your tweets. I'm teasing.

1604
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:42,320
Speaker 1: It's a very logical and well thought out tweet. And

1605
01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:49,040
Speaker 1: it's yeah, okay, yeah, it has no place on social media.

1606
01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:54,200
Speaker 1: It's not off, it's not it's that's a good one. Lex.

1607
01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:57,759
Speaker 1: I'm I'm teasing. Obviously well thought out and ice logical

1608
01:29:57,880 --> 01:30:01,439
Speaker 1: and dispassionate. There's a lot of football to be played,

1609
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:04,400
Speaker 1: and none of us can tell the future in ten minutes,

1610
01:30:04,439 --> 01:30:07,800
Speaker 1: let alone in five weeks. So yeah, you're right. Let's

1611
01:30:07,840 --> 01:30:10,120
Speaker 1: just sit tight and watch the guys play. And and

1612
01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:13,880
Speaker 1: let me just say this, as we're deep into this, folks,

1613
01:30:13,920 --> 01:30:17,479
Speaker 1: we're sitting where we kind of want to sit. Don't

1614
01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:22,040
Speaker 1: forget to have fun. Enjoy it, because in three months

1615
01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:23,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna be looking back at it, no matter how

1616
01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:26,800
Speaker 1: it turned out. And yeah, don't forget the fun we

1617
01:30:26,880 --> 01:30:31,960
Speaker 1: had getting here, Oh Steve, getting all sentimental. It all counts, man,

1618
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 1: it's important. You and I have been sitting here. We

1619
01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:36,760
Speaker 1: sit across from each other every day I remember we

1620
01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:41,559
Speaker 1: went through the draft together, the combine all of that stuff,

1621
01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:43,599
Speaker 1: and we were and the team was just we couldn't

1622
01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:47,240
Speaker 1: wait to see this team play. So let's just remember

1623
01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:49,200
Speaker 1: to take a deep breath and say, yeah, you know what,

1624
01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:53,240
Speaker 1: it's pretty fun. On the tweet sheet, does David feel

1625
01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:56,360
Speaker 1: differently than he did on Friday? Abs of freaking loudly,

1626
01:30:56,840 --> 01:30:59,920
Speaker 1: it just seemed more like years past where we weren't

1627
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:01,760
Speaker 1: going to be there at the right time for the

1628
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:05,320
Speaker 1: number one seed to even matter. It seems one hundred

1629
01:31:05,400 --> 01:31:12,280
Speaker 1: percent obtainable right now. I think he means attainable. So yeah,

1630
01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:14,240
Speaker 1: I mean a lot can happen in five weeks. We

1631
01:31:14,320 --> 01:31:17,120
Speaker 1: all know it's a week to week league. As you know,

1632
01:31:17,280 --> 01:31:22,639
Speaker 1: Lex so astutely pointed out, you gotta These next two though,

1633
01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:25,760
Speaker 1: are gigantic in terms of the division, and you can't

1634
01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:29,320
Speaker 1: talk number one seed unless you win your division. So

1635
01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:32,160
Speaker 1: as great as it is to be sitting there right now,

1636
01:31:32,960 --> 01:31:35,200
Speaker 1: you have to beat the Jets. You have to beat

1637
01:31:35,240 --> 01:31:37,920
Speaker 1: the Dolphins because you need to even out the head

1638
01:31:37,960 --> 01:31:41,920
Speaker 1: to heads with those two teams, the Dolphins most importantly, Yeah,

1639
01:31:41,960 --> 01:31:45,400
Speaker 1: there's some There's no question the Bills would They're fine

1640
01:31:45,439 --> 01:31:47,120
Speaker 1: if they went out, they're going to be great. But

1641
01:31:48,200 --> 01:31:50,559
Speaker 1: they gotta beat the Jets and Dolphins. Yeah, I mean,

1642
01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:55,519
Speaker 1: my point there is, if you finish thirteen and four,

1643
01:31:56,640 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 1: but the Dolphins finished fourteen and three and win the division,

1644
01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:02,360
Speaker 1: you're the five seat front playing a wild card. You're

1645
01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:06,360
Speaker 1: on the road. You're doing a fourteen thirteen and four.

1646
01:32:06,640 --> 01:32:08,760
Speaker 1: It's a tough We knew it too. The conference was

1647
01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:13,640
Speaker 1: gonna this conference. The AFC is tough. It's a gauntlet.

1648
01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:18,920
Speaker 1: It's a gauntlet. I mean you, I mean, folks, you're

1649
01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:23,679
Speaker 1: looking at Buffalo, Kansas City, Baltimore, Tennessee, Cincinnati, Miami, the Jets.

1650
01:32:24,680 --> 01:32:30,160
Speaker 1: Three of those teams are in the same division. The

1651
01:32:30,280 --> 01:32:33,320
Speaker 1: Bills have run the gauntlet already. They've had the toughest

1652
01:32:33,360 --> 01:32:37,759
Speaker 1: schedule so far period. They've had it rougher than anybody,

1653
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:45,479
Speaker 1: and they've been nicked up the whole time. You gotta win, man, No,

1654
01:32:46,439 --> 01:32:49,120
Speaker 1: it's a tough conference. You want to stay at home

1655
01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:52,680
Speaker 1: in January here, you gotta stay at home. They've been

1656
01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:55,519
Speaker 1: they've been gunning for that for the last two or three,

1657
01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:59,040
Speaker 1: last two years anyway, and you know, you go thirteen

1658
01:32:59,080 --> 01:33:01,519
Speaker 1: and four and twenty twenty and you don't get it.

1659
01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:05,360
Speaker 1: They're getting still fourteen and two. You stub your toe

1660
01:33:05,400 --> 01:33:07,000
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season last year and it

1661
01:33:07,080 --> 01:33:11,560
Speaker 1: winds up costing you, you know, with losses to Jacksonville Times,

1662
01:33:11,840 --> 01:33:13,679
Speaker 1: and then you had back to back losses in week

1663
01:33:13,760 --> 01:33:16,040
Speaker 1: thirteen and fourteen. You fall to seven and six, and

1664
01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:18,800
Speaker 1: by that point in time, the top seed was out

1665
01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:23,120
Speaker 1: the window, and you still only finish the game backage

1666
01:33:23,320 --> 01:33:25,920
Speaker 1: the three seat, with the swing game being that Tennessee game.

1667
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:28,040
Speaker 1: You beat Tennessee and they lose, you're the number one

1668
01:33:28,040 --> 01:33:30,560
Speaker 1: seed because you had the tiebreaker on Kansas City. You

1669
01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:32,840
Speaker 1: don't get it. You finishes the three seed, so you

1670
01:33:32,920 --> 01:33:36,479
Speaker 1: still got the tiebreaker, and you yeah, you know, because

1671
01:33:36,520 --> 01:33:39,680
Speaker 1: your season in the postseason ended in Kansas City and

1672
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:43,639
Speaker 1: back to back seasons on the road. Put them all

1673
01:33:43,680 --> 01:33:46,120
Speaker 1: in your home stadium and see if that's the difference

1674
01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:48,200
Speaker 1: for you, because I think it would be. John on

1675
01:33:48,240 --> 01:33:51,240
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet says, I don't feel any different. Casey

1676
01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:53,439
Speaker 1: will win out, which means the Bills must win out,

1677
01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:58,519
Speaker 1: and I see that as unlikely to happen, So yeah,

1678
01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:03,639
Speaker 1: winning out won't be easy. I really think the Dolphins

1679
01:34:03,720 --> 01:34:05,960
Speaker 1: game and the Bengals game are gonna be real tough ones,

1680
01:34:06,800 --> 01:34:09,000
Speaker 1: especially the Bengals being on the road in a primetime

1681
01:34:09,040 --> 01:34:12,880
Speaker 1: atmosphere on a Monday night in January. That's gonna be tricky. Yeah,

1682
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:14,920
Speaker 1: not to say they can't do it, but it's gonna

1683
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:18,040
Speaker 1: be hard. So winning out I think might prove to

1684
01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:22,800
Speaker 1: be a tall order. But you know, stranger things have happened.

1685
01:34:22,800 --> 01:34:24,240
Speaker 1: The Bills ran off four in a row at the

1686
01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:26,080
Speaker 1: end of last year. Here's what I believe though, if

1687
01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:28,000
Speaker 1: if you win the next two games, you're gonna win

1688
01:34:28,040 --> 01:34:30,360
Speaker 1: the division, right, which means you're gonna be at home

1689
01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:33,720
Speaker 1: at least once. Yeah, and even last year when they

1690
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:37,599
Speaker 1: were the three seed without the thirteen second game. You're

1691
01:34:37,640 --> 01:34:39,920
Speaker 1: back here for the FC championship games anyway, because the

1692
01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:42,320
Speaker 1: Titans lost, right, and then you saw you would have

1693
01:34:42,360 --> 01:34:44,040
Speaker 1: beaten the Chiefs. Who is there? You go? I mean

1694
01:34:44,120 --> 01:34:47,479
Speaker 1: that's yeah, So stranger things have happened. Yeah, all right,

1695
01:34:47,520 --> 01:34:50,439
Speaker 1: we gotta take a break here because when we return

1696
01:34:50,640 --> 01:34:54,200
Speaker 1: for our number three, we're gonna be joined by Bill's

1697
01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:57,880
Speaker 1: reporter Maddy glab who's got some very special Maddie Awards

1698
01:34:57,920 --> 01:35:01,000
Speaker 1: this week. Sure there might might be a Bill's Award

1699
01:35:01,040 --> 01:35:04,200
Speaker 1: in there. Or two. But there's also some around the

1700
01:35:04,280 --> 01:35:06,559
Speaker 1: league awards to be handed out as well, after all

1701
01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:09,760
Speaker 1: the help that the Bill's got yesterday, Maddie Glab coming

1702
01:35:09,840 --> 01:35:43,240
Speaker 1: up next year on One Bill's Live. These One Bill's

1703
01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:48,240
Speaker 1: Live presented by Called Light of Health. Ah, we're number

1704
01:35:48,320 --> 01:35:51,280
Speaker 1: three here on a Monday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, and

1705
01:35:52,040 --> 01:35:54,720
Speaker 1: Bill's reporter Manny Glabs here on a Monday, after a

1706
01:35:54,800 --> 01:35:59,920
Speaker 1: Bill's victory. Happy day, Happy day, and it's like playing

1707
01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:02,720
Speaker 1: in pinball with a bonus ball with all of the

1708
01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:05,640
Speaker 1: wins that all the other teams helped us out with

1709
01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:08,280
Speaker 1: over the weekend. So I'm sure you've got some around

1710
01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:12,080
Speaker 1: the league awards as well today. Oh yeah, as always

1711
01:36:12,479 --> 01:36:16,799
Speaker 1: the Maddie Awards, presented by Energy Mark, the official energy

1712
01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:21,920
Speaker 1: supplier to the Buffalo Bills. And we kick it off

1713
01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:26,040
Speaker 1: Maddie with flawless Finish. Yes, we're going to do a

1714
01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:29,360
Speaker 1: couple Bills Awards here. Look back to that win over

1715
01:36:29,439 --> 01:36:32,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots on Thursday. Feels like an eternity ago. Now

1716
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:37,800
Speaker 1: finish is going to a red zone efficiency. This is

1717
01:36:37,840 --> 01:36:39,400
Speaker 1: a number I think a lot of us were paying

1718
01:36:39,400 --> 01:36:42,439
Speaker 1: attention to heading into this game. They were three of

1719
01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:44,559
Speaker 1: three in the red zone. Brownie, I know you pointed

1720
01:36:44,640 --> 01:36:47,559
Speaker 1: this out in postgame interviews that in the last two

1721
01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:49,519
Speaker 1: games the Bills have been six of seven in the

1722
01:36:49,560 --> 01:36:52,320
Speaker 1: red zone, which is amazing to see. Heading into the

1723
01:36:52,360 --> 01:36:55,280
Speaker 1: Patriots game, they were scoring touchdowns in the red zone

1724
01:36:55,320 --> 01:36:57,920
Speaker 1: fifty three percent of the time, which ranked nineteenth in

1725
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:00,679
Speaker 1: the NFL. Now they're up to fifteenth, doing it fifty

1726
01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:02,679
Speaker 1: six percent at the time, so bump up a couple

1727
01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:05,479
Speaker 1: of percentage points, which is great to see. I think

1728
01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:09,000
Speaker 1: this stat is very important here in the division stretch.

1729
01:37:09,120 --> 01:37:11,479
Speaker 1: You want to score when you're inside the twenty, but

1730
01:37:11,600 --> 01:37:13,840
Speaker 1: you really want to score when you're inside the twenty

1731
01:37:14,080 --> 01:37:17,439
Speaker 1: as you're playing against AFC East teams and some really

1732
01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:20,880
Speaker 1: good defensive teams. Patriots are great on defense. The Bills

1733
01:37:20,920 --> 01:37:23,680
Speaker 1: got the better of them, and then the Jets, who

1734
01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:27,400
Speaker 1: were playing this Sunday, also a really great team on defense.

1735
01:37:27,439 --> 01:37:30,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna want to take advantage of every single opportunity

1736
01:37:30,920 --> 01:37:34,040
Speaker 1: you get, and they did that on Thursday against the Patriots.

1737
01:37:34,120 --> 01:37:37,200
Speaker 1: It was great to see. They've struggled in that area.

1738
01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:40,240
Speaker 1: They've struggled with that stat so far this season. This

1739
01:37:40,479 --> 01:37:42,439
Speaker 1: is when you want to be correcting things that you're

1740
01:37:42,479 --> 01:37:44,920
Speaker 1: struggling with, and they're doing it right now in December. Yeah,

1741
01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:49,000
Speaker 1: no question. You can see the team changing and evolving

1742
01:37:49,040 --> 01:37:51,360
Speaker 1: week to week, you know. And this red zone efficiency

1743
01:37:51,479 --> 01:37:54,160
Speaker 1: was huge against the Patriots, a defense that's really been

1744
01:37:54,240 --> 01:37:56,720
Speaker 1: notoriously hard to score on. That's one of the things

1745
01:37:56,760 --> 01:37:59,720
Speaker 1: they the Patriots give you yards for Christmas, but they

1746
01:37:59,720 --> 01:38:01,759
Speaker 1: will of your points. And the Bills able to score

1747
01:38:02,439 --> 01:38:04,960
Speaker 1: at a pretty efficient rate in that game. I was huge.

1748
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:07,639
Speaker 1: And the second award next is to get off my lawn.

1749
01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:11,519
Speaker 1: Go ahead, get off my lawn. That's exactly what the

1750
01:38:11,560 --> 01:38:15,600
Speaker 1: Bills defense did on third down. They got off the

1751
01:38:15,720 --> 01:38:19,040
Speaker 1: field so the offense could get back on and score touchdowns.

1752
01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:22,160
Speaker 1: Going into this Patriots game, it was a little bit

1753
01:38:22,200 --> 01:38:24,639
Speaker 1: of a storyline the third and longs for the Buffalo

1754
01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:27,080
Speaker 1: Bills defense. They couldn't get off the field. They were

1755
01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:29,559
Speaker 1: letting teams convert on third and eight, third and twelve

1756
01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:33,240
Speaker 1: and beyond, and they shut the door on the Patriots.

1757
01:38:33,560 --> 01:38:36,000
Speaker 1: They allow the Patriots to convert only three of twelve

1758
01:38:36,160 --> 01:38:40,599
Speaker 1: third downs twenty five percent. That is a great number

1759
01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:42,160
Speaker 1: that you want to see in terms of third down

1760
01:38:42,240 --> 01:38:46,320
Speaker 1: conversions for your opponent. They were averaging a forty percent

1761
01:38:46,400 --> 01:38:49,320
Speaker 1: conversion rate heading into this game. Again, this is something

1762
01:38:49,360 --> 01:38:52,560
Speaker 1: that they were struggling with a little bit, ranking in

1763
01:38:52,680 --> 01:38:55,719
Speaker 1: the bottom half of the NFL, and the stat something

1764
01:38:55,800 --> 01:38:58,280
Speaker 1: you want to improve on in December. What are they doing.

1765
01:38:58,360 --> 01:39:01,960
Speaker 1: They are improving on the stag at in December against

1766
01:39:02,040 --> 01:39:05,960
Speaker 1: some teams that matter a lot because they're in your division. Okay,

1767
01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:09,960
Speaker 1: the little page out of the Cypress Hill saw on catalog,

1768
01:39:10,040 --> 01:39:12,479
Speaker 1: you're a little insane in the membrane. You know, went

1769
01:39:12,680 --> 01:39:17,640
Speaker 1: insane in the membrane. This was Josh's touchdown throw to

1770
01:39:18,040 --> 01:39:21,599
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis. It was a third and goal. You're watching

1771
01:39:21,640 --> 01:39:24,400
Speaker 1: this plan fold and you're going, should he throw it?

1772
01:39:24,479 --> 01:39:27,240
Speaker 1: Should he not throw it? He almost got sacked, he's

1773
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:29,120
Speaker 1: going out of bounds. I don't know if this is

1774
01:39:29,200 --> 01:39:31,720
Speaker 1: the best decision to make, but I think deep down

1775
01:39:31,760 --> 01:39:34,200
Speaker 1: inside we all knew he was gonna throw this ball

1776
01:39:34,360 --> 01:39:36,880
Speaker 1: whether we liked it or not. And he threw it

1777
01:39:37,080 --> 01:39:40,680
Speaker 1: and it went to Gabe Davis for a touchdown. Some

1778
01:39:40,880 --> 01:39:44,600
Speaker 1: of these plays, some of these Josh Allen throws that

1779
01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:47,280
Speaker 1: need to just be like trademarked, because not a lot

1780
01:39:47,320 --> 01:39:50,040
Speaker 1: of other quarterbacks do this in the NFL. They were

1781
01:39:50,120 --> 01:39:52,639
Speaker 1: not going his way as of late, and you started

1782
01:39:52,680 --> 01:39:55,800
Speaker 1: to see these throws go Josh's way in this game.

1783
01:39:55,920 --> 01:39:59,080
Speaker 1: Some of these insane passes that he made amazing that

1784
01:39:59,200 --> 01:40:01,240
Speaker 1: he was able to find and Gabe Davis gave. Davis

1785
01:40:01,320 --> 01:40:03,680
Speaker 1: had his eyes locked on Josh. Allen was able to

1786
01:40:03,720 --> 01:40:06,000
Speaker 1: break free get open for a touchdown. The score was

1787
01:40:06,040 --> 01:40:11,760
Speaker 1: seventeen to seven after this touchdown. Like I said, maybe

1788
01:40:11,800 --> 01:40:13,960
Speaker 1: it's the elbow that's getting a little bit healthier. We

1789
01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:16,599
Speaker 1: know he's feeling better. But I'm so happy to see

1790
01:40:17,040 --> 01:40:19,200
Speaker 1: these plays are starting to go his way, where a

1791
01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:22,040
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, these plays were interceptions or these

1792
01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:24,960
Speaker 1: plays were drops. There's a couple of things about that

1793
01:40:25,040 --> 01:40:27,920
Speaker 1: play that they're crazy. One the deep, he was so

1794
01:40:28,080 --> 01:40:31,639
Speaker 1: far out of bounds. The guy covering Gabe Davis whatever

1795
01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:35,360
Speaker 1: started walking. He's like, okay, okay, that's an out of bounds.

1796
01:40:35,520 --> 01:40:36,840
Speaker 1: It's a win for us, and all of a sudden

1797
01:40:36,840 --> 01:40:40,880
Speaker 1: it turns into a touchdown. Secondly, if another quarterback makes

1798
01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:45,120
Speaker 1: a play like Josh did in that play, I mean,

1799
01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:49,040
Speaker 1: the whole world's going crazy over it. I was surprised.

1800
01:40:49,080 --> 01:40:51,559
Speaker 1: I did see some highlights and I saw people saying

1801
01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:55,599
Speaker 1: some stuff about it, but man, oh man. And even

1802
01:40:55,680 --> 01:40:57,439
Speaker 1: in the stadium that night, of course, it was in

1803
01:40:57,520 --> 01:41:00,880
Speaker 1: a way crowd you could feel the punch that was

1804
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:05,040
Speaker 1: for the Patriot fans. They were it was heard that

1805
01:41:05,479 --> 01:41:07,519
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it was not only was it quiet,

1806
01:41:07,520 --> 01:41:11,880
Speaker 1: it was like a oh, like are you kidding me? Yeah?

1807
01:41:12,479 --> 01:41:17,040
Speaker 1: That was it was like broke their heart. Fourteen play drive.

1808
01:41:17,120 --> 01:41:21,360
Speaker 1: They converted four third downs on that drive. Just absolutely

1809
01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:24,080
Speaker 1: a crushing drive. The first thing I thought of when

1810
01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:26,040
Speaker 1: I saw the play was the first thing I thought

1811
01:41:26,040 --> 01:41:28,559
Speaker 1: of was the Dawson Ix touchdown in the play exactly

1812
01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:31,040
Speaker 1: the same because he's like running out of room and

1813
01:41:31,120 --> 01:41:37,320
Speaker 1: it's not you know, behind everybody on that one. Apparently

1814
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:40,000
Speaker 1: the TV was not part of that team last year

1815
01:41:40,040 --> 01:41:42,640
Speaker 1: that saw that. Yeah, it was a it was an

1816
01:41:42,800 --> 01:41:45,960
Speaker 1: unbelievable play at a moment when the Bills you know,

1817
01:41:46,160 --> 01:41:51,080
Speaker 1: needed it. But after a drive that was just I mean,

1818
01:41:51,200 --> 01:41:53,400
Speaker 1: I think that was the play. I don't know whether

1819
01:41:53,439 --> 01:41:56,040
Speaker 1: it was that play or the maybe another later drive

1820
01:41:56,120 --> 01:41:57,360
Speaker 1: that I said, there was a massive it was that

1821
01:41:57,439 --> 01:41:59,280
Speaker 1: was the first touchdown. There was a fourteen play drive

1822
01:41:59,320 --> 01:42:00,920
Speaker 1: in a fifty something drive. That was the one the

1823
01:42:00,960 --> 01:42:03,679
Speaker 1: fourteenth play drive the first one. It was a massive

1824
01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:06,080
Speaker 1: flex by the Bills offense. Yeah, I mean they were

1825
01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:12,800
Speaker 1: they were absolutely just unstoppable. They were just like I'm

1826
01:42:12,880 --> 01:42:15,600
Speaker 1: you know what, just they were like they were like

1827
01:42:15,720 --> 01:42:18,080
Speaker 1: the gun slinger just pushing through the saloon doors like

1828
01:42:18,120 --> 01:42:20,040
Speaker 1: he ain't stopping me. I'm coming in, you know. Yeah.

1829
01:42:20,160 --> 01:42:22,840
Speaker 1: And there the Patriots offense jumping on the field after that,

1830
01:42:22,960 --> 01:42:26,280
Speaker 1: going h you gotta do something like that now. It

1831
01:42:26,439 --> 01:42:30,080
Speaker 1: was amazing. And that's when that game started going like, oh,

1832
01:42:30,240 --> 01:42:32,160
Speaker 1: this doesn't look a like closely. I know it's a

1833
01:42:32,240 --> 01:42:35,400
Speaker 1: three point game. This does not looked close. Yeah. Next

1834
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:38,920
Speaker 1: up is couch Kings. Couch Kings that is all of

1835
01:42:39,040 --> 01:42:42,280
Speaker 1: Bills Mafia. That is everybody who works for the Bills

1836
01:42:42,320 --> 01:42:45,200
Speaker 1: who got to be the kings of their couches on

1837
01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:48,719
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon. It was so fun to watch those games

1838
01:42:48,760 --> 01:42:52,439
Speaker 1: stress free football because the Bills went into Sunday with

1839
01:42:52,640 --> 01:42:54,439
Speaker 1: a win, and I know we were probably a little

1840
01:42:54,479 --> 01:42:57,120
Speaker 1: bit stressed out watching some of these divisional games that

1841
01:42:57,200 --> 01:42:59,360
Speaker 1: were going on or some of the AFCAST teams that

1842
01:42:59,400 --> 01:43:02,200
Speaker 1: were playing the Chiefs as well Jets game stress Well,

1843
01:43:02,240 --> 01:43:05,000
Speaker 1: you know what, the Vikings beat the Jets twenty seven

1844
01:43:05,040 --> 01:43:07,200
Speaker 1: to twenty two, and then the forty nine Ers beat

1845
01:43:07,240 --> 01:43:10,479
Speaker 1: the Dolphins thirty three to seventeen. And then the Bengals

1846
01:43:10,520 --> 01:43:14,920
Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs twenty seven to twenty in an epic finish.

1847
01:43:16,040 --> 01:43:19,519
Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers without Jimmy g mister irrelevant goes and

1848
01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:22,559
Speaker 1: beats the Dolphins. Brock Purty goes and beats the Dolphins.

1849
01:43:22,600 --> 01:43:25,200
Speaker 1: And while while Bills fans and while our players are

1850
01:43:25,240 --> 01:43:28,960
Speaker 1: sitting on the couch watching games, the Bills moved to

1851
01:43:29,080 --> 01:43:32,040
Speaker 1: number one in the AFC. It was it was beautiful.

1852
01:43:32,120 --> 01:43:33,840
Speaker 1: I was sitting there and you know, everybody, we all

1853
01:43:33,960 --> 01:43:35,519
Speaker 1: have text loops with our friends, and I was like,

1854
01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:37,080
Speaker 1: I texted. I was like like, hey man, this is

1855
01:43:37,080 --> 01:43:39,519
Speaker 1: all fallen exactly the Bills, and I was like, stopped

1856
01:43:39,600 --> 01:43:41,479
Speaker 1: right there, and I deleted it before I sent it

1857
01:43:41,520 --> 01:43:43,679
Speaker 1: because I just wanted to wait a little longer because

1858
01:43:43,680 --> 01:43:45,280
Speaker 1: the last thing I wanted to do was say that,

1859
01:43:45,439 --> 01:43:48,000
Speaker 1: don't be the jink right, I'm not gonna be I'm

1860
01:43:48,040 --> 01:43:50,400
Speaker 1: not gonna be jim Nance saying he's made one hundred

1861
01:43:50,400 --> 01:43:52,840
Speaker 1: and three in a row. And then he missed. So

1862
01:43:53,120 --> 01:43:55,479
Speaker 1: I actually sat there, I'm like, Nope, I'm not gonna

1863
01:43:55,520 --> 01:43:58,360
Speaker 1: do and I deleted the text to the loop because

1864
01:43:59,040 --> 01:44:01,200
Speaker 1: I want to be I'd be that guy. I don't

1865
01:44:01,240 --> 01:44:02,840
Speaker 1: blame you. I don't blame you one bit. All Right,

1866
01:44:02,880 --> 01:44:06,439
Speaker 1: We've got the got Him Award, all right. Got Him

1867
01:44:06,680 --> 01:44:09,479
Speaker 1: is going to a J. Brown for what he did

1868
01:44:10,040 --> 01:44:14,160
Speaker 1: against the Titans, his older team, former team. He had

1869
01:44:14,200 --> 01:44:17,640
Speaker 1: an amazing touchdown reception in the back of the end

1870
01:44:17,760 --> 01:44:20,240
Speaker 1: zone over a defender, a really tough grab to make

1871
01:44:20,320 --> 01:44:22,880
Speaker 1: a really awesome throw by Jalen Hurts. I think that

1872
01:44:23,040 --> 01:44:25,720
Speaker 1: was one of the best catches of the day if

1873
01:44:25,760 --> 01:44:28,680
Speaker 1: you got to catch any of that game or the highlights,

1874
01:44:28,760 --> 01:44:31,760
Speaker 1: and then just his overall stat line eight catches, one

1875
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:35,880
Speaker 1: hundred and nineteen yards, two touchdowns. The Eagles beat the

1876
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:39,840
Speaker 1: Titans thirty five to ten. This Eagles team, I've said

1877
01:44:39,880 --> 01:44:43,000
Speaker 1: it before, they look pretty dang good. Somebody's got to

1878
01:44:43,040 --> 01:44:47,519
Speaker 1: explain to me, though, the animosity with Titans fans, because like,

1879
01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:50,760
Speaker 1: the Titans are all sore that he got traded to

1880
01:44:50,840 --> 01:44:53,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles and they're mad at him. It's like he

1881
01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:57,400
Speaker 1: didn't he didn't trade himself to do anything he didn't want.

1882
01:44:57,479 --> 01:45:00,320
Speaker 1: He did want to get a big contract and didn't

1883
01:45:00,360 --> 01:45:01,640
Speaker 1: want to give it to him, so they traded him.

1884
01:45:01,640 --> 01:45:04,120
Speaker 1: If you're gonna be mad at anybody, be mad at

1885
01:45:04,160 --> 01:45:06,840
Speaker 1: your team they didn't keep them. Yeah, in a league

1886
01:45:06,880 --> 01:45:09,599
Speaker 1: where you need a top wide receiver. Here's the thing too,

1887
01:45:09,640 --> 01:45:12,160
Speaker 1: you gotta remember that we're at a point in history

1888
01:45:12,200 --> 01:45:14,840
Speaker 1: where teams feel like, you know what, if we need

1889
01:45:14,880 --> 01:45:16,240
Speaker 1: a guy, we can go high in the draft and

1890
01:45:16,280 --> 01:45:18,519
Speaker 1: we can get a guy that's every bit of these guys.

1891
01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:22,040
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. You can get a Jamar Chase, you can

1892
01:45:22,080 --> 01:45:23,920
Speaker 1: get a T. Higgins, you can get you know, go

1893
01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:30,080
Speaker 1: down the list, um, Chris Olave Dotson, you know all

1894
01:45:30,120 --> 01:45:32,479
Speaker 1: these guys. There's guys out there that you can draft.

1895
01:45:32,560 --> 01:45:35,400
Speaker 1: So a team can get a one of these receivers

1896
01:45:35,439 --> 01:45:37,400
Speaker 1: on a cheap contract. But man, oh man, when the

1897
01:45:37,479 --> 01:45:41,000
Speaker 1: guy comes back and punches you in the gut the

1898
01:45:41,120 --> 01:45:45,080
Speaker 1: next season, feel good. It's like, all right, most of

1899
01:45:45,160 --> 01:45:48,200
Speaker 1: my bad the fan bass got a right to beef

1900
01:45:48,240 --> 01:45:50,720
Speaker 1: about that. I think, Yeah, I just don't know why

1901
01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:53,840
Speaker 1: they're mad at him, though, they're like, you know, and

1902
01:45:53,960 --> 01:45:56,800
Speaker 1: it's well, it's because nobody knows. I mean, he can

1903
01:45:56,880 --> 01:45:58,360
Speaker 1: say he goes, hey, I wanted to be there and

1904
01:45:58,400 --> 01:45:59,920
Speaker 1: all that and they didn't want to pay me sixty

1905
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:02,840
Speaker 1: seven million dollars year, and you know, you gotta those

1906
01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:07,280
Speaker 1: are facts that they are exaggerated. I'm exaggerating about the money.

1907
01:46:07,320 --> 01:46:09,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, he wanted a big contract and the

1908
01:46:09,200 --> 01:46:11,559
Speaker 1: team said, you know what, we're not doing it. We're

1909
01:46:11,560 --> 01:46:14,320
Speaker 1: not doing it. So okay, so way to go a

1910
01:46:14,439 --> 01:46:17,000
Speaker 1: J Brown for show with Traylon Burkes dumping on your

1911
01:46:17,040 --> 01:46:21,120
Speaker 1: former team. That's who they got to replace him at

1912
01:46:21,160 --> 01:46:25,680
Speaker 1: fun with Draylon Burke's all right, the playmaker Award, all right, playmakers,

1913
01:46:25,760 --> 01:46:28,920
Speaker 1: there were some playmakers in yesterday's slate of games. I

1914
01:46:29,080 --> 01:46:31,800
Speaker 1: just want to shout out the defenses because there were

1915
01:46:31,800 --> 01:46:36,960
Speaker 1: a few defensive touchdowns yesterday. A couple defensive defenses balled

1916
01:46:36,960 --> 01:46:39,200
Speaker 1: out and that's the Browns and the forty nine Ers.

1917
01:46:39,240 --> 01:46:43,080
Speaker 1: Got to give them kudos. Two defensive touchdowns by the Browns,

1918
01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:47,080
Speaker 1: Donzel Ward Tony Fields each had touchdown twenty seven to fourteen.

1919
01:46:47,120 --> 01:46:50,120
Speaker 1: They beat the Houston Texans. And then the forty nine

1920
01:46:50,200 --> 01:46:53,040
Speaker 1: Ers also had a defensive touchdown. It was a strip

1921
01:46:53,120 --> 01:46:56,360
Speaker 1: sack by Joey Bosa and then Drey Greenlaw with the

1922
01:46:56,479 --> 01:46:59,880
Speaker 1: scoop and score in the thirty three to seventeen victory

1923
01:47:00,640 --> 01:47:05,040
Speaker 1: over the Dolphins. Hey, defense can win games two, all right.

1924
01:47:05,200 --> 01:47:07,479
Speaker 1: They can play offense as well. They can get into

1925
01:47:07,520 --> 01:47:10,960
Speaker 1: the end zone. So shout out to the defensive playmakers.

1926
01:47:11,200 --> 01:47:13,600
Speaker 1: And yesterday's slid of games was fun to see a

1927
01:47:13,680 --> 01:47:16,519
Speaker 1: couple of defenses get a touchdown. I want to touchdown

1928
01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:20,040
Speaker 1: from our defense. Yeah, some of that against the Dolphins

1929
01:47:20,240 --> 01:47:26,400
Speaker 1: or the Jets this year. Yeah, Tennessee's right, the one,

1930
01:47:26,560 --> 01:47:28,040
Speaker 1: the lone one, and we need to get some of

1931
01:47:28,120 --> 01:47:31,679
Speaker 1: those going. They played too well defensively not to be reported.

1932
01:47:31,720 --> 01:47:34,040
Speaker 1: I think that is the one though, you know, takeaways.

1933
01:47:34,360 --> 01:47:36,080
Speaker 1: The defense is going to have to make some big

1934
01:47:36,160 --> 01:47:38,479
Speaker 1: plays in the next couple of weeks against teams they're

1935
01:47:38,479 --> 01:47:42,000
Speaker 1: playing against. Defense was important against the Patriots, It's going

1936
01:47:42,080 --> 01:47:44,200
Speaker 1: to be important against Jets and the Dolphins. And the

1937
01:47:44,280 --> 01:47:46,080
Speaker 1: last one we got now is he shut it down?

1938
01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:50,160
Speaker 1: All right, shut it down. Award is going to Joe

1939
01:47:50,280 --> 01:47:54,720
Speaker 1: Burrow for his third down completion conversion throw that he

1940
01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:58,639
Speaker 1: had over to te Higgins to solidify that Bengals victory

1941
01:47:59,200 --> 01:48:01,400
Speaker 1: over the chief So the Chiefs had the ball, they

1942
01:48:01,439 --> 01:48:04,559
Speaker 1: were down three with about nine minutes to go. They

1943
01:48:04,560 --> 01:48:07,160
Speaker 1: were at their own twenty five. Mahomes was sacked for

1944
01:48:07,280 --> 01:48:10,559
Speaker 1: a loss of four. Then it's third and three at

1945
01:48:10,600 --> 01:48:13,280
Speaker 1: since he's thirty three yard line, Harrison Bucker tries a

1946
01:48:13,320 --> 01:48:16,240
Speaker 1: fifty five yard field goal. He misses, he's wide right.

1947
01:48:16,320 --> 01:48:18,720
Speaker 1: So since he's up three and they have the ball

1948
01:48:18,760 --> 01:48:21,679
Speaker 1: with three nineteen to go, they convert a third and five.

1949
01:48:21,960 --> 01:48:25,639
Speaker 1: And then the biggest down came on third and eleven

1950
01:48:26,479 --> 01:48:28,320
Speaker 1: with like two minutes to go in the game. Here

1951
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:32,559
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow fires a bullet over to te Higgins. Te

1952
01:48:32,720 --> 01:48:35,680
Speaker 1: Higgins was tightly covered, of course, as he would be

1953
01:48:35,800 --> 01:48:37,600
Speaker 1: on a third and eleven with like two minutes to

1954
01:48:37,680 --> 01:48:39,680
Speaker 1: go in the game. It was an amazing grab by

1955
01:48:39,760 --> 01:48:44,200
Speaker 1: te Higgins. Game over is after that completion kneel down,

1956
01:48:44,280 --> 01:48:47,880
Speaker 1: kneel down game if you watch the play in slow motion.

1957
01:48:49,400 --> 01:48:53,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what defender it was, but it looked

1958
01:48:53,040 --> 01:48:56,320
Speaker 1: like Joe Burrow almost got sacked on that play. And

1959
01:48:56,880 --> 01:48:59,400
Speaker 1: Alec White, who works for the Bills who helps write,

1960
01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:01,800
Speaker 1: he brought it up when we were kind of talking

1961
01:49:01,800 --> 01:49:03,519
Speaker 1: about the games, and I was like, I didn't even

1962
01:49:03,680 --> 01:49:07,040
Speaker 1: notice that, but yeah, yeah, he gets almost sacked on

1963
01:49:07,080 --> 01:49:10,200
Speaker 1: a lot of points. I mean, yeah, that's the tail

1964
01:49:10,360 --> 01:49:13,800
Speaker 1: of it. Does get sacked on a lot of plays,

1965
01:49:14,080 --> 01:49:17,040
Speaker 1: and even now that's a characteristic of his game. We've

1966
01:49:17,080 --> 01:49:20,160
Speaker 1: come to know. Certainly it cost him in his rookie season. Yes,

1967
01:49:20,360 --> 01:49:22,519
Speaker 1: when he you know, he hung in there, hung in there,

1968
01:49:22,600 --> 01:49:24,120
Speaker 1: hung in there too much, and it cost him the

1969
01:49:24,160 --> 01:49:26,240
Speaker 1: rest of his season, like nine games in his rookie season.

1970
01:49:26,720 --> 01:49:29,479
Speaker 1: Last year, he comes back and hangs in there and

1971
01:49:29,560 --> 01:49:34,320
Speaker 1: they get one time last year, doesn't he hangs in there.

1972
01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:36,519
Speaker 1: You gotta get him on the ground or he's standing

1973
01:49:36,560 --> 01:49:40,000
Speaker 1: in there and he's throwing it. U. Kudos to them,

1974
01:49:40,080 --> 01:49:42,080
Speaker 1: no question about it. They got a point in the

1975
01:49:42,120 --> 01:49:44,880
Speaker 1: second half there as well. You mentioned that chief didn't

1976
01:49:44,880 --> 01:49:46,920
Speaker 1: have any time outs left, so all they needed was

1977
01:49:46,960 --> 01:49:50,160
Speaker 1: a third for third down conversion and they can kneel

1978
01:49:50,200 --> 01:49:54,360
Speaker 1: down to ending that you got to do against the Chiefs.

1979
01:49:54,439 --> 01:49:56,640
Speaker 1: You gotta kneel it down otherwise. The same thing with

1980
01:49:56,680 --> 01:49:58,680
Speaker 1: the Jets and Vikings game. I was watching that and

1981
01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:01,920
Speaker 1: they had two c as ad it down five on

1982
01:50:02,360 --> 01:50:05,160
Speaker 1: the Minnesota half of the field, and fortunately they couldn't

1983
01:50:05,200 --> 01:50:08,479
Speaker 1: get it done. Yeah, a little bit, a little bit

1984
01:50:08,520 --> 01:50:10,920
Speaker 1: of stress. Not the same thing as watching a Bills game.

1985
01:50:10,960 --> 01:50:13,400
Speaker 1: That's tight, but it was pretty close, all right. Those

1986
01:50:13,400 --> 01:50:16,000
Speaker 1: are the Mattie Awards, presented by Energy Mark, the official

1987
01:50:16,080 --> 01:50:18,280
Speaker 1: energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills. I have a quick

1988
01:50:18,360 --> 01:50:20,360
Speaker 1: impromptu pole that I want to hit you guys up there,

1989
01:50:20,439 --> 01:50:23,120
Speaker 1: because we had the Bengals here at the end, and

1990
01:50:24,439 --> 01:50:27,519
Speaker 1: the white the all white uniforms that the Bengals wear.

1991
01:50:28,120 --> 01:50:31,040
Speaker 1: It is supposed to represent a white Bengal tiger. Do

1992
01:50:31,120 --> 01:50:32,600
Speaker 1: you know the first I need to know if you

1993
01:50:32,640 --> 01:50:34,640
Speaker 1: guys feel this way or if it even crossed your

1994
01:50:34,680 --> 01:50:37,160
Speaker 1: mind the first time I looked at it, and now

1995
01:50:37,240 --> 01:50:39,599
Speaker 1: every time I looked at it, since all I see

1996
01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:42,479
Speaker 1: are zebras. Like I look at that helmet and that

1997
01:50:42,680 --> 01:50:45,599
Speaker 1: uniform and all I see are zebras, I don't think

1998
01:50:45,720 --> 01:50:49,320
Speaker 1: white Bengal tiger at all. Zebra is the only thing

1999
01:50:49,400 --> 01:50:52,920
Speaker 1: in my head when I look at that uniform, Zebra, Zebra, Zebra.

2000
01:50:53,880 --> 01:50:57,240
Speaker 1: I get the zebra. But since it was the white tiger,

2001
01:50:57,360 --> 01:51:00,599
Speaker 1: I saw tiger. Okay, since it's the angles I always

2002
01:51:00,600 --> 01:51:02,600
Speaker 1: see tigers. Because I'm looking at that helmet, I'm like,

2003
01:51:02,840 --> 01:51:06,280
Speaker 1: but you're right, zebra. After you said that, I was like, oh,

2004
01:51:06,360 --> 01:51:07,800
Speaker 1: you know what, He's right. It is kind of it

2005
01:51:07,960 --> 01:51:10,120
Speaker 1: is a zebra rather than that. How does that not

2006
01:51:10,280 --> 01:51:14,160
Speaker 1: cross your mind? Is the uniform designers like, guys, this

2007
01:51:14,360 --> 01:51:16,679
Speaker 1: this kind of looks a little zebra, doesn't it? Play?

2008
01:51:17,200 --> 01:51:22,160
Speaker 1: It really does. It's ridiculous. Like the helmet, it's a zebra. Yes,

2009
01:51:22,240 --> 01:51:25,320
Speaker 1: it is. It is. I mean leaven, the pants, even

2010
01:51:25,400 --> 01:51:28,439
Speaker 1: the end zone, that's a zebra. I'm sorry, I'm never

2011
01:51:28,520 --> 01:51:33,320
Speaker 1: going to see it differently. Quick thing about uniform combos teams.

2012
01:51:33,479 --> 01:51:36,400
Speaker 1: I saw video on the internet. It is hilarious. I'll

2013
01:51:36,400 --> 01:51:38,080
Speaker 1: have to send it to you. Guys. It's this little

2014
01:51:38,160 --> 01:51:40,560
Speaker 1: kid and the dad goes, okay, who's playing? And it

2015
01:51:40,680 --> 01:51:43,599
Speaker 1: was the Bills and another team And he obviously didn't

2016
01:51:43,600 --> 01:51:46,800
Speaker 1: say the Bills. He said, it's the Buffalo shooting lasers.

2017
01:51:47,120 --> 01:51:52,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the Buffalo. But he thought it was their

2018
01:51:52,960 --> 01:51:56,320
Speaker 1: team name, Buffalo shooting Lasers. That's what he called. I

2019
01:51:56,400 --> 01:51:59,439
Speaker 1: thought it was hilarious, the shooting lasers. Yeah, because of

2020
01:51:59,560 --> 01:52:01,840
Speaker 1: the ripe on the side. I'm guessing that's what he saw.

2021
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:04,479
Speaker 1: Why not? All right, Maddie, thank you as always, we

2022
01:52:04,560 --> 01:52:06,519
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Hopefully we're seeing you right in that same

2023
01:52:06,600 --> 01:52:10,559
Speaker 1: exact spot next week. That'll mean another victory for your

2024
01:52:10,600 --> 01:52:12,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. We will take a break here when we

2025
01:52:13,080 --> 01:52:15,160
Speaker 1: come back, Steve, and I'll have a little time for

2026
01:52:15,240 --> 01:52:17,479
Speaker 1: some NFL true false, and we'll get to some of

2027
01:52:17,520 --> 01:52:19,400
Speaker 1: your final thoughts on the tweet sheet next here on

2028
01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:34,960
Speaker 1: one Bills Live. All right, here we be one Bills

2029
01:52:35,040 --> 01:52:38,519
Speaker 1: Live on a Monday on the heels of a very

2030
01:52:38,680 --> 01:52:42,720
Speaker 1: fortuitous week thirteen for your Buffalo Bills, who now sit

2031
01:52:42,840 --> 01:52:46,560
Speaker 1: a top the AFC conference. And we want to go

2032
01:52:46,680 --> 01:52:49,920
Speaker 1: over now a little NFL true false, Steve, it's been

2033
01:52:49,960 --> 01:52:54,519
Speaker 1: a minute NFL true false presented by Patron Tequila, the

2034
01:52:54,600 --> 01:52:57,960
Speaker 1: official tequila of the Buffalo Bills, and it is a

2035
01:52:58,040 --> 01:53:01,639
Speaker 1: good NFL true false number one see very topical. Are

2036
01:53:01,680 --> 01:53:05,479
Speaker 1: you ready? The Bengals are a better team than they

2037
01:53:05,520 --> 01:53:10,400
Speaker 1: were last season? True or false? Um, I'm gonna have

2038
01:53:10,439 --> 01:53:12,880
Speaker 1: to say true. They look better to me than they

2039
01:53:12,920 --> 01:53:19,519
Speaker 1: did last season last season. Well, it looks better. Their

2040
01:53:19,600 --> 01:53:23,200
Speaker 1: offense looks better, their defense looks better, their run game

2041
01:53:23,280 --> 01:53:24,880
Speaker 1: looks better. I think they look better in a lot

2042
01:53:24,960 --> 01:53:27,760
Speaker 1: of ways. Um. I just last year, I think they

2043
01:53:27,840 --> 01:53:32,200
Speaker 1: came out a little bit out of nowhere. Maybe, but

2044
01:53:33,320 --> 01:53:36,840
Speaker 1: obviously we didn't have the expectations this last year that

2045
01:53:36,880 --> 01:53:38,599
Speaker 1: we do this year because of the way they finished

2046
01:53:38,680 --> 01:53:40,280
Speaker 1: last year and got to the super Bowl and all

2047
01:53:40,400 --> 01:53:42,640
Speaker 1: that stuff. But if you look back, I mean they

2048
01:53:44,680 --> 01:53:49,559
Speaker 1: a year ago, they were at one point they were

2049
01:53:49,800 --> 01:53:52,880
Speaker 1: five and four. No, they were five and four this

2050
01:53:52,960 --> 01:53:56,800
Speaker 1: year too. Right then they went win win, lost loss,

2051
01:53:57,080 --> 01:54:01,560
Speaker 1: So they're you know, seven and six two, which is

2052
01:54:01,600 --> 01:54:03,519
Speaker 1: where the Bills were. Where the Bills were, but then

2053
01:54:03,560 --> 01:54:06,240
Speaker 1: they went when when when lost to the irregular season finale.

2054
01:54:06,360 --> 01:54:08,439
Speaker 1: So they did get it together at the end of

2055
01:54:08,520 --> 01:54:11,120
Speaker 1: last season, but they were they were much like the

2056
01:54:11,160 --> 01:54:14,720
Speaker 1: Bills were last year, um, seven and six with four

2057
01:54:14,800 --> 01:54:19,479
Speaker 1: games to play. And I just think they're better this year.

2058
01:54:19,600 --> 01:54:22,400
Speaker 1: Their record speaks to it, and yeah they're not. They're

2059
01:54:22,400 --> 01:54:24,160
Speaker 1: eight and four, their records better. I don't know. I

2060
01:54:24,240 --> 01:54:26,080
Speaker 1: just think a little on the fence as to whether

2061
01:54:26,160 --> 01:54:29,800
Speaker 1: they're better, I will say they're more impressive, so maybe

2062
01:54:29,880 --> 01:54:32,480
Speaker 1: that makes them better. I guess for now, I will

2063
01:54:32,520 --> 01:54:36,200
Speaker 1: say true. The only reason why is because they're they're

2064
01:54:36,400 --> 01:54:40,640
Speaker 1: performing even without some of their premier players, Like this

2065
01:54:40,840 --> 01:54:44,520
Speaker 1: three game winning streak that they're on and they've won

2066
01:54:44,600 --> 01:54:47,560
Speaker 1: six of their last seven. A large portion of that

2067
01:54:47,720 --> 01:54:51,200
Speaker 1: stretch has been without Jamar Chase and Joe Mixon in

2068
01:54:51,240 --> 01:54:54,280
Speaker 1: the lineup at the same time. They were without both

2069
01:54:54,320 --> 01:54:57,040
Speaker 1: of those guys. So think about that. That's like taking

2070
01:54:57,200 --> 01:55:01,320
Speaker 1: Digs and singletary out of your lineup up and still

2071
01:55:01,400 --> 01:55:05,200
Speaker 1: winning football games more often than not with your offense. Now,

2072
01:55:05,280 --> 01:55:08,000
Speaker 1: I'm not going to pretend to know who they who

2073
01:55:08,120 --> 01:55:10,160
Speaker 1: they beat over that stretch, and I think you laid

2074
01:55:10,160 --> 01:55:12,840
Speaker 1: it out already once today. It's not an overwhelming stretch

2075
01:55:12,920 --> 01:55:17,960
Speaker 1: of opponents by any means. But to keep on keeping

2076
01:55:18,040 --> 01:55:20,520
Speaker 1: on without two of your most talented players on your

2077
01:55:20,560 --> 01:55:24,440
Speaker 1: offense on the shelf, you know when you're still performing,

2078
01:55:24,480 --> 01:55:28,160
Speaker 1: you're still putting up points. That shows me something. So

2079
01:55:29,160 --> 01:55:31,560
Speaker 1: I'll give him full marks for that. So I'll say true,

2080
01:55:32,040 --> 01:55:35,760
Speaker 1: all right, NFL true false Number two, the Cowboys are

2081
01:55:35,920 --> 01:55:41,920
Speaker 1: not in the same league as the Eagles. I'm gonna

2082
01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:44,880
Speaker 1: say false. I think that I think the Cowboys are

2083
01:55:44,920 --> 01:55:47,960
Speaker 1: agit because of their defense and their pass rush, and

2084
01:55:48,080 --> 01:55:51,920
Speaker 1: their offense is with Higins is having a fantastic here.

2085
01:55:51,920 --> 01:55:54,080
Speaker 1: I love what I'm seeing out of him, and Tony

2086
01:55:54,200 --> 01:55:59,560
Speaker 1: Pollard is an awesome back. So I think the Dallas

2087
01:55:59,680 --> 01:56:03,600
Speaker 1: cow Boys, despite what happened last night and they beat

2088
01:56:03,680 --> 01:56:06,040
Speaker 1: up on an inferior opponent last night, but it was

2089
01:56:06,080 --> 01:56:09,640
Speaker 1: a close game going into the fourth quarter. Yeah, I

2090
01:56:09,800 --> 01:56:12,920
Speaker 1: think I think the Cowboys are a real contender in

2091
01:56:13,000 --> 01:56:15,240
Speaker 1: that conference along with the Philadelphia Eagles. I think the

2092
01:56:15,400 --> 01:56:17,680
Speaker 1: Eagles are better, but no, the Cowboys are there and

2093
01:56:17,760 --> 01:56:21,600
Speaker 1: the margin of I think saying what you're saying, I

2094
01:56:21,680 --> 01:56:23,840
Speaker 1: don't think they're that I think they are far. I

2095
01:56:23,880 --> 01:56:25,480
Speaker 1: think they're a part. I think the Eagles are better,

2096
01:56:25,520 --> 01:56:27,360
Speaker 1: but I don't think they're that far apart. Yeah. And

2097
01:56:27,440 --> 01:56:31,600
Speaker 1: the other thing to keep in mind here is Dallas

2098
01:56:31,760 --> 01:56:34,720
Speaker 1: is nine and three. They're only two games back of Philadelphia,

2099
01:56:35,680 --> 01:56:41,360
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys will While the Eagles have a better

2100
01:56:41,440 --> 01:56:44,800
Speaker 1: conference record six and one to seven and three, the

2101
01:56:44,960 --> 01:56:49,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys actually have the higher strength of schedule and they

2102
01:56:49,760 --> 01:56:52,640
Speaker 1: have a greater strength of victory. Their victories have come

2103
01:56:52,680 --> 01:56:57,240
Speaker 1: against better teams than the Eagles. Yeah. So I think

2104
01:56:57,320 --> 01:57:00,760
Speaker 1: if if by some happenstance, they have to square off

2105
01:57:00,800 --> 01:57:02,840
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, that's going to be an electric match.

2106
01:57:03,080 --> 01:57:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm tending, and probably not rightly so, but I am

2107
01:57:06,800 --> 01:57:10,680
Speaker 1: doing it. I am discounting the Minnesota Vikings at every

2108
01:57:10,760 --> 01:57:13,960
Speaker 1: chance I get. For some reason, they have no defense, Steve,

2109
01:57:14,160 --> 01:57:18,680
Speaker 1: and and they're getting by on these teams that we're

2110
01:57:18,760 --> 01:57:22,680
Speaker 1: just well, the Bills handed them a game. Yeah, and

2111
01:57:22,840 --> 01:57:24,880
Speaker 1: I guess that colors everything I say. But then it

2112
01:57:24,960 --> 01:57:27,080
Speaker 1: was it wasn't much different the week after they played

2113
01:57:27,120 --> 01:57:32,000
Speaker 1: the Bills. They just are They're They're flour and oh

2114
01:57:32,080 --> 01:57:38,760
Speaker 1: against the AFC East this year, which is unbelievable to me, unbelievable.

2115
01:57:38,760 --> 01:57:41,800
Speaker 1: I can't believe they beat Miami the way Miami was playing.

2116
01:57:42,840 --> 01:57:46,280
Speaker 1: So I'm discounting them. So if you discount Minnesota like

2117
01:57:46,360 --> 01:57:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm doing wrongfully, So the Cowboys are the number two

2118
01:57:50,960 --> 01:57:52,960
Speaker 1: team in the conference for the ninety three record. They

2119
01:57:53,040 --> 01:57:56,440
Speaker 1: trail only Philly in Minnesota losses. Yeah, that's why I'm

2120
01:57:56,480 --> 01:57:58,840
Speaker 1: saying false too. So I think they're there right there.

2121
01:58:02,800 --> 01:58:04,560
Speaker 1: I think the only thing that the Cowboys might have

2122
01:58:04,640 --> 01:58:06,720
Speaker 1: over the Eagles is a better pass rush, which is

2123
01:58:07,080 --> 01:58:11,240
Speaker 1: which isn't nothing that's important. I think if those two

2124
01:58:11,280 --> 01:58:13,480
Speaker 1: teams square off in like a wild card game, because

2125
01:58:13,720 --> 01:58:15,120
Speaker 1: the one of them is the one and the others,

2126
01:58:15,520 --> 01:58:17,360
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Let's just say Dallas wins

2127
01:58:17,400 --> 01:58:18,840
Speaker 1: their wild card game and then they got to go

2128
01:58:18,920 --> 01:58:22,400
Speaker 1: play them as the highest remaining. So wait, I get it,

2129
01:58:22,640 --> 01:58:25,240
Speaker 1: but it's it's a totally different animal. I think when

2130
01:58:25,320 --> 01:58:27,320
Speaker 1: Dallas goes on the road in the playoffs, they're gonna

2131
01:58:27,960 --> 01:58:31,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna hold on for them. If the playoffs ended today,

2132
01:58:33,040 --> 01:58:36,880
Speaker 1: Dallas would go play Tampa. Right in Tampa. Yeah, that's

2133
01:58:36,880 --> 01:58:39,360
Speaker 1: a win. But you're thinking Philly's gonna play Seattle and

2134
01:58:39,440 --> 01:58:42,040
Speaker 1: beat them at home, Well, Philly's got to buy so

2135
01:58:42,160 --> 01:58:45,320
Speaker 1: they'll be waiting right. Well, So, now is Seattle gonna

2136
01:58:45,320 --> 01:58:50,560
Speaker 1: beat I mean, is Seattle gonna be Seattle gonna beat Minnesota?

2137
01:58:50,680 --> 01:58:53,560
Speaker 1: They may, but that still means if San Francisco holds

2138
01:58:53,560 --> 01:58:55,920
Speaker 1: serve that they're the team where Dallas would have to

2139
01:58:55,960 --> 01:58:58,000
Speaker 1: go to San Francisco, and if Dallas has to go

2140
01:58:58,080 --> 01:59:00,040
Speaker 1: on the road in the playoffs, I think that's it

2141
01:59:00,360 --> 01:59:02,160
Speaker 1: for them. Oh okay, you know what I mean. I

2142
01:59:02,480 --> 01:59:05,200
Speaker 1: just don't think they're that kind of team. And I

2143
01:59:05,360 --> 01:59:08,080
Speaker 1: although although we've always said that a defense really travels

2144
01:59:08,280 --> 01:59:12,720
Speaker 1: on in the NFL, and that's true, I think Dallas's

2145
01:59:12,800 --> 01:59:16,840
Speaker 1: offense doesn't. So that's the way I feel about it.

2146
01:59:16,920 --> 01:59:18,600
Speaker 1: I just don't think Dallas if they have to go

2147
01:59:18,640 --> 01:59:20,240
Speaker 1: on the road in the playoffs, which they're probably gonna

2148
01:59:20,240 --> 01:59:21,840
Speaker 1: have to do ultimately, that's going to do them in

2149
01:59:22,640 --> 01:59:25,800
Speaker 1: all right, the Broncos NFL true false Number three The

2150
01:59:25,920 --> 01:59:36,080
Speaker 1: Broncos should bench Russell Wilson true or false? Well, hold

2151
01:59:36,160 --> 01:59:43,360
Speaker 1: on for who Brett Rippon is their back? Yeah? No, no, no,

2152
01:59:43,640 --> 01:59:49,360
Speaker 1: don't be dumb. That's you know. Right now, the Denver

2153
01:59:49,480 --> 01:59:54,560
Speaker 1: Broncos are twenty seventh in total offense, twenty fourth in rushing,

2154
01:59:55,200 --> 01:59:59,880
Speaker 1: twenty first in passing. They are thirtieth in third day

2155
02:00:00,040 --> 02:00:04,240
Speaker 1: on conversion rate, and they are dead last in points scored.

2156
02:00:04,640 --> 02:00:06,760
Speaker 1: They are three and nine on the shoes. They have

2157
02:00:06,880 --> 02:00:09,040
Speaker 1: yet to win a division game, and they are two

2158
02:00:09,120 --> 02:00:11,520
Speaker 1: and seven in the conference. This says what I'm looking

2159
02:00:11,560 --> 02:00:13,960
Speaker 1: at this. This may be old. Hold on, I just

2160
02:00:14,080 --> 02:00:19,680
Speaker 1: turned this on my My quarterback depth chart has Drew

2161
02:00:19,800 --> 02:00:23,320
Speaker 1: lockstill on it. That's from That is incorrect. Seattle's from

2162
02:00:23,360 --> 02:00:25,240
Speaker 1: the Oh I'm sorry, who are we talking about? We're

2163
02:00:25,280 --> 02:00:28,360
Speaker 1: talking about the Broncos. Of course, the Broncos red ribbon.

2164
02:00:28,600 --> 02:00:35,000
Speaker 1: Why don't I go to the Seattle Seahawks page. Russell Wilson, Yeah,

2165
02:00:35,040 --> 02:00:36,360
Speaker 1: I am Do you want to do you want to

2166
02:00:36,400 --> 02:00:39,440
Speaker 1: throw out of San Diego Chargers right now? To the

2167
02:00:39,520 --> 02:00:42,080
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders are really going to make a run late

2168
02:00:42,240 --> 02:00:47,880
Speaker 1: this year. So also, just so you know, their red

2169
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:54,080
Speaker 1: zone offense, Steve, their red zone offense, they're tied for

2170
02:00:54,200 --> 02:00:56,400
Speaker 1: the last in the league. Guess guess who they're tied

2171
02:00:56,440 --> 02:00:58,400
Speaker 1: with for last in the league and red zone offense

2172
02:00:59,480 --> 02:01:04,560
Speaker 1: Houston the New England Patriots. That thirty seven and a

2173
02:01:04,600 --> 02:01:07,720
Speaker 1: half percent on my face. I love that the Denver

2174
02:01:07,880 --> 02:01:14,560
Speaker 1: Broncos have a league low, a league low. The Broncos

2175
02:01:14,600 --> 02:01:19,360
Speaker 1: have a league low twenty four red zone possessions and

2176
02:01:19,520 --> 02:01:25,280
Speaker 1: they have scored nine touchdowns in the red zone this year. Wow,

2177
02:01:25,720 --> 02:01:29,480
Speaker 1: it's just they have played more games than they have

2178
02:01:29,760 --> 02:01:35,840
Speaker 1: red zone touchdowns this season. Wow, that is amazing. It's

2179
02:01:36,040 --> 02:01:41,160
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it is so for me from a million

2180
02:01:41,200 --> 02:01:43,040
Speaker 1: miles away, like we always like to say, we are

2181
02:01:43,960 --> 02:01:49,360
Speaker 1: for me. It really looks bad in New England, right,

2182
02:01:49,720 --> 02:01:53,880
Speaker 1: It looks worse than Denver, though, Oh Denver, here's the

2183
02:01:54,000 --> 02:01:59,920
Speaker 1: name who gets fired first, brackets, Brandon Staley. Nate hack

2184
02:02:00,160 --> 02:02:03,120
Speaker 1: Hacke's done. You can't come in as an offense a

2185
02:02:03,200 --> 02:02:07,200
Speaker 1: guy with an offensive coaching background, and lead the Broncos

2186
02:02:07,240 --> 02:02:12,720
Speaker 1: to their worst offensive season in their history. You can't

2187
02:02:12,800 --> 02:02:17,800
Speaker 1: do it. You are an offensive coach by trade. Your

2188
02:02:17,840 --> 02:02:22,360
Speaker 1: team has nine red zone touchdowns after playing twelve games.

2189
02:02:23,440 --> 02:02:27,720
Speaker 1: No way, I'm sorry that is that is not sustainable.

2190
02:02:29,520 --> 02:02:33,240
Speaker 1: Just no. Now. Concerning the true false question, Steve, the

2191
02:02:33,400 --> 02:02:36,560
Speaker 1: Broncos should bench Russell Wilson, you say false, I say true.

2192
02:02:36,880 --> 02:02:39,600
Speaker 1: Not for an extended period of time. But if it's

2193
02:02:39,640 --> 02:02:41,320
Speaker 1: going the wrong way in the first half of a

2194
02:02:41,400 --> 02:02:44,400
Speaker 1: game again this week, what's the harm in throwing ripping

2195
02:02:44,480 --> 02:02:46,840
Speaker 1: in for the second half. I mean, you're three and nine.

2196
02:02:46,880 --> 02:02:49,400
Speaker 1: Here's the thing to what end, Just to give the

2197
02:02:49,440 --> 02:02:51,520
Speaker 1: team a spark, make him feel like, hey, we're actually

2198
02:02:51,600 --> 02:02:54,360
Speaker 1: trying to win this week. Like look, I know he's

2199
02:02:54,440 --> 02:02:57,600
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. The guy is a shell. He didn't even

2200
02:02:57,720 --> 02:03:00,840
Speaker 1: look like him anymore. If you watch this guy play

2201
02:03:01,440 --> 02:03:03,560
Speaker 1: and there was no name on the back of his jersey,

2202
02:03:04,600 --> 02:03:08,320
Speaker 1: you wouldn't even consider it that it was Russell Wilson

2203
02:03:08,480 --> 02:03:10,880
Speaker 1: because he doesn't even look like that guy anymore. I

2204
02:03:11,000 --> 02:03:16,640
Speaker 1: get it. It is amazing, But hey, money talks, and

2205
02:03:16,920 --> 02:03:19,840
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that's why they're locked into him. Two hundred

2206
02:03:19,840 --> 02:03:23,480
Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars worth. They have been. They are screwed.

2207
02:03:23,560 --> 02:03:28,640
Speaker 1: They have been searching for a quarterback since Peyton retired,

2208
02:03:30,360 --> 02:03:35,200
Speaker 1: and they have And I told you this. I love

2209
02:03:35,240 --> 02:03:37,520
Speaker 1: the way John Elway used to do it if because

2210
02:03:37,520 --> 02:03:39,240
Speaker 1: he knew what he was looking at. John Elway, he

2211
02:03:39,360 --> 02:03:41,600
Speaker 1: knows what a quarterback looks like, acts like, what they

2212
02:03:41,680 --> 02:03:45,280
Speaker 1: feel like, and if it was if he'd draft a

2213
02:03:45,360 --> 02:03:49,480
Speaker 1: guy or sign a guy, he would know immediately whether

2214
02:03:49,520 --> 02:03:51,360
Speaker 1: the guy was right or not when they get on

2215
02:03:51,440 --> 02:03:56,120
Speaker 1: the field and start playing. He knew, and he would

2216
02:03:56,120 --> 02:03:59,920
Speaker 1: pull the plug now if the guy wasn't the guy,

2217
02:04:00,360 --> 02:04:03,360
Speaker 1: and finally start looking for another one, which is why

2218
02:04:03,400 --> 02:04:05,520
Speaker 1: he hurt. He went so hard at Peyton Manning because

2219
02:04:05,520 --> 02:04:10,120
Speaker 1: he knew he was the guy right now. If you're Denver,

2220
02:04:11,400 --> 02:04:14,480
Speaker 1: you he is not the guy and now, but unfortunately

2221
02:04:14,640 --> 02:04:17,800
Speaker 1: you're married. You can't cut him for at least two

2222
02:04:17,920 --> 02:04:21,360
Speaker 1: years and you can't afford the divorce, probably three. You

2223
02:04:21,480 --> 02:04:24,240
Speaker 1: can't afford. You can't afford to split up with him.

2224
02:04:25,040 --> 02:04:28,800
Speaker 1: The dead Are you ready for this? Dead cap hits?

2225
02:04:30,320 --> 02:04:33,520
Speaker 1: If the Broncos wanted to part with Russell Wilson after

2226
02:04:33,640 --> 02:04:39,680
Speaker 1: this season, the dead cap hit, give me a guess,

2227
02:04:39,960 --> 02:04:43,000
Speaker 1: ninety five million dollars. It's more, well, I guess again,

2228
02:04:43,280 --> 02:04:45,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten million dollars. Guess again, it's more.

2229
02:04:46,080 --> 02:04:47,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what is it. It's one hundred and

2230
02:04:48,040 --> 02:04:55,320
Speaker 1: twenty four dollars. He's got a dead cap of one

2231
02:04:55,440 --> 02:04:58,720
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five million, twenty four, one hundred twenty

2232
02:04:58,760 --> 02:05:03,440
Speaker 1: four million dollars, Hold on, hold on today. Wait so

2233
02:05:03,520 --> 02:05:05,480
Speaker 1: you can't get rid of him this year? Wait? Yeah, yeah,

2234
02:05:05,520 --> 02:05:08,720
Speaker 1: but wait wait wait wait wait wait wait, So think

2235
02:05:08,760 --> 02:05:16,280
Speaker 1: about this. There's a guy who just paid almost five

2236
02:05:16,840 --> 02:05:22,880
Speaker 1: billion dollars for the for the franchise. He's looking at

2237
02:05:22,960 --> 02:05:26,640
Speaker 1: Nate Hackett and those guy going wait, wait, yeah, run

2238
02:05:26,720 --> 02:05:28,560
Speaker 1: this day He's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, we gotta

2239
02:05:28,600 --> 02:05:32,280
Speaker 1: do what that guy, the heir to the Walmart fortune.

2240
02:05:32,920 --> 02:05:34,480
Speaker 1: I got news for you. He's gonna be putting new

2241
02:05:34,520 --> 02:05:37,280
Speaker 1: signs up in his department, in his in his stores.

2242
02:05:37,960 --> 02:05:41,680
Speaker 1: Prices are not falling because they gotta pay for this guy, right,

2243
02:05:42,160 --> 02:05:45,640
Speaker 1: Um that the dead cap hit. The dead cap hit

2244
02:05:46,120 --> 02:05:52,320
Speaker 1: next year. Russell Wilson's age thirty five season, one hundred

2245
02:05:52,320 --> 02:05:57,879
Speaker 1: and seven million dollars. Dude. Twenty twenty four. Russell Wilson's

2246
02:05:58,000 --> 02:06:03,680
Speaker 1: age thirty sixth season, his dead cap hit eighty five million,

2247
02:06:03,800 --> 02:06:10,640
Speaker 1: dollars twenty twenty five, his age thirty seven season dead

2248
02:06:10,760 --> 02:06:14,920
Speaker 1: cap hit forty nine point six million dollars. So maybe

2249
02:06:15,000 --> 02:06:18,400
Speaker 1: it happens in twenty twenty five. It will certainly happen

2250
02:06:18,760 --> 02:06:21,560
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six when the dead cap hit drops

2251
02:06:21,600 --> 02:06:24,200
Speaker 1: to thirty one mill. Less their heart, but they are

2252
02:06:24,640 --> 02:06:28,520
Speaker 1: definitely on the hook for two years, maybe three, depending

2253
02:06:28,520 --> 02:06:30,840
Speaker 1: on how high the cap goes and what the rest

2254
02:06:30,880 --> 02:06:33,960
Speaker 1: of their what the rest of their fiscal situation looks like.

2255
02:06:34,160 --> 02:06:36,760
Speaker 1: But less, they're hard, man a lot. Let me just

2256
02:06:36,840 --> 02:06:38,880
Speaker 1: say that is a dead I get it. We can

2257
02:06:38,920 --> 02:06:41,160
Speaker 1: all make fun of how rich the Walton family is

2258
02:06:41,240 --> 02:06:43,480
Speaker 1: and I get it and make snarky remarks. But man,

2259
02:06:43,800 --> 02:06:46,520
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. Man, if I'm that guy,

2260
02:06:46,960 --> 02:06:48,720
Speaker 1: I don't care if I can't afford it, and it

2261
02:06:48,760 --> 02:06:50,640
Speaker 1: won't even be a It's not even a blip on

2262
02:06:50,760 --> 02:06:54,440

2264
02:06:57,880 --> 02:07:00,560
Speaker 1: You'll be able to feel the tension in that room.

Speaker 1: Oh my guys, like high level board meeting. I'll be

2267
02:07:10,840 --> 02:07:12,360
Speaker 1: You don't need to sit there and just stand there

2268
02:07:12,400 --> 02:07:14,120
Speaker 1: and tell me what's going on and tell me why

2269
02:07:14,360 --> 02:07:16,360
Speaker 1: I don't like it, because you don't need to take

2270
02:07:16,400 --> 02:07:18,960
Speaker 1: a seat. You ain't gonna be here that long, all

02:07:47,720 --> 02:07:50,800
Speaker 1: I got you know, I'm teen billions of dollars. But man,

2281
02:07:50,840 --> 02:07:55,000
Speaker 1: oh man, I would be so hot in that meeting.

2282
02:07:56,640 --> 02:08:00,280
Speaker 1: They would be wearing oven mitts. That's like, I mean,

2283
02:08:00,800 --> 02:08:04,640
Speaker 1: that is the worst, like think of the worst, dude,

2284
02:08:04,760 --> 02:08:07,839
Speaker 1: the worst like medicated pill you ever had to swallow

2285
02:08:07,920 --> 02:08:10,640
Speaker 1: in your life. And it's about ten times decide because

2286
02:08:10,720 --> 02:08:13,080
Speaker 1: think about it, he didn't that own, the new guy,

2287
02:08:13,160 --> 02:08:16,440
Speaker 1: the new owner I'm talking about, he doesn't know Nate Hackett.

2288
02:08:17,400 --> 02:08:19,280
Speaker 1: He couldn't pick him out of a lineup before he

2289
02:08:19,320 --> 02:08:24,600
Speaker 1: bought the team. Yeah, same thing with the GM. Oh my, guys,

2290
02:08:24,720 --> 02:08:27,960
Speaker 1: you want to talk about a tense meeting, man, I

2291
02:08:28,040 --> 02:08:31,280
Speaker 1: would be I would oh, it would be so uncomfortable

2292
02:08:31,320 --> 02:08:35,240
Speaker 1: in that room. Now that is hard knocks material. That's

2293
02:08:35,280 --> 02:08:38,560
Speaker 1: something I would love to see. I don't need to

2294
02:08:38,640 --> 02:08:41,320
Speaker 1: look at any practices on the field. Just get me

2295
02:08:41,400 --> 02:08:44,240
Speaker 1: in that room. Get I want the end of season meetings.

2296
02:08:44,440 --> 02:08:46,760
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. You'd make a list of about twenty

2297
02:08:46,880 --> 02:08:49,440
Speaker 1: people to bring in the room, and the best would

2298
02:08:49,480 --> 02:08:53,120
Speaker 1: be if the owner did not know what the dead

2299
02:08:53,200 --> 02:08:57,480
Speaker 1: cap hit was. Yeah, really, I really, I really, guys,

2300
02:08:57,560 --> 02:08:59,000
Speaker 1: look got to move on. I know you got to

2301
02:08:59,040 --> 02:09:00,840
Speaker 1: move on. I know. We made a trade for this guy.

2302
02:09:01,080 --> 02:09:04,040
Speaker 1: We just got him here. He's clearly not the player

2303
02:09:04,120 --> 02:09:07,480
Speaker 1: we thought he was. He's washed up. I'm making the

2304
02:09:07,600 --> 02:09:09,960
Speaker 1: decision now we have to move on from Russell Wilson.

2305
02:09:10,360 --> 02:09:13,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, mister Walton. We can't do that. What excuse me?

2306
02:09:13,480 --> 02:09:16,400
Speaker 1: Why not? I want him gone. He has to be gone.

2307
02:09:16,680 --> 02:09:19,520
Speaker 1: We can't move him. Why not? Well it's because of

2308
02:09:19,600 --> 02:09:22,920
Speaker 1: his dead cap hit. Excuse me? Well that's the that's

2309
02:09:22,960 --> 02:09:25,040
Speaker 1: the money we're going to incur on our salary cap

2310
02:09:25,120 --> 02:09:27,720
Speaker 1: that will accelerate and cripple us for making other moves

2311
02:09:28,080 --> 02:09:31,080
Speaker 1: to help make the team better because of the impending

2312
02:09:31,160 --> 02:09:33,240
Speaker 1: dead cap hit he would put on our salary cap. Well,

2313
02:09:33,280 --> 02:09:35,520
Speaker 1: what is the number? How bad could it be? What

2314
02:09:35,760 --> 02:09:38,200
Speaker 1: is it? Eighty million dollars? Uh? No, sir, it's not

2315
02:09:38,320 --> 02:09:40,400
Speaker 1: eighty million. Is it more than that? Yes? It is?

2316
02:09:40,560 --> 02:09:43,280
Speaker 1: Is it one hundred million dollars? It's more than that?

2317
02:09:43,920 --> 02:09:45,960
Speaker 1: Is it one hundred and ten million? It's more than that.

2318
02:09:46,120 --> 02:09:50,440
Speaker 1: You're fired, like right, one hundred and twenty four million

2319
02:09:50,480 --> 02:09:55,080
Speaker 1: dollars cap hit. You're fired. Now here's a thing. Now,

2320
02:09:55,480 --> 02:09:57,800
Speaker 1: this is a next level. But here's the thing too.

2321
02:09:59,280 --> 02:10:01,440
Speaker 1: By incurring hundred and twenty four million dollars a dead

2322
02:10:01,480 --> 02:10:06,320
Speaker 1: cap space, he may do it, you know why, because

2323
02:10:06,360 --> 02:10:08,080
Speaker 1: you're already on that. You're you're already paid him bad

2324
02:10:08,160 --> 02:10:11,840
Speaker 1: now with him, right, so be bad without him, right.

2325
02:10:12,040 --> 02:10:15,200
Speaker 1: And one hundred and twenty five million dollars you're not

2326
02:10:15,320 --> 02:10:17,480
Speaker 1: going to spend anywhere, so you get to keep that

2327
02:10:17,680 --> 02:10:21,080
Speaker 1: money except the fact that he gets it anyway. Yeah,

2328
02:10:21,360 --> 02:10:23,320
Speaker 1: I should go look up the guars so that means

2329
02:10:23,360 --> 02:10:24,960
Speaker 1: you don't have to pay one hundred and twenty five

2330
02:10:24,960 --> 02:10:28,200
Speaker 1: million to other players underneath the cap. You know what

2331
02:10:28,280 --> 02:10:31,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, So that's that's why the owners can

2332
02:10:31,240 --> 02:10:34,600
Speaker 1: get over on the cap. He's not gonna that's money

2333
02:10:34,600 --> 02:10:37,320
Speaker 1: they're not allowed to spend. So he can say, shoot,

2334
02:10:37,400 --> 02:10:39,680
Speaker 1: get rid of that guy. I don't have to worry

2335
02:10:39,720 --> 02:10:41,560
Speaker 1: about it. I gotta pay him anyway, and he stinks.

2336
02:10:41,720 --> 02:10:43,680
Speaker 1: I can bring anybody in here in stink and pay

2337
02:10:43,800 --> 02:10:46,120
Speaker 1: him just a few hundred grand. So after one hundred

2338
02:10:46,120 --> 02:10:49,200
Speaker 1: and twenty four and dead cap this year, okay, so

2339
02:10:49,360 --> 02:10:52,120
Speaker 1: that's money we can take a hit on. It's not

2340
02:10:52,200 --> 02:10:55,000
Speaker 1: coming out of my pocket, yes, sir, but there is

2341
02:10:55,040 --> 02:10:57,200
Speaker 1: the guaranteed money that you will owe Russell Wilson. Well,

2342
02:10:57,200 --> 02:10:59,480
Speaker 1: how much is that? Did one hundred million? That's actually

2343
02:10:59,520 --> 02:11:02,000
Speaker 1: more serious. It's one hundred and twenty five million. It's

2344
02:11:02,040 --> 02:11:04,640
Speaker 1: more than that. How much is it? It's one hundred

2345
02:11:04,680 --> 02:11:06,760
Speaker 1: and sixty one million. Oh my god, you're fired again.

2346
02:11:08,000 --> 02:11:11,040
Speaker 1: You're fired again. We gotta you're on the hook for

2347
02:11:11,040 --> 02:11:13,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty no matter what. Sixty one going

2348
02:11:13,920 --> 02:11:16,160
Speaker 1: to that dude that got your three wins and can't

2349
02:11:16,200 --> 02:11:21,880
Speaker 1: score a bleep in touchdown? Oh man, it is so bad.

2350
02:11:22,280 --> 02:11:26,120
Speaker 1: That is a tough meeting. That is so bad. That

2351
02:11:26,320 --> 02:11:28,200
Speaker 1: is a tough meeting. But you're gonna pay him the

2352
02:11:28,240 --> 02:11:32,520
Speaker 1: money anyway, and you're gonna stink with him for sure. Yeah,

2353
02:11:32,520 --> 02:11:34,640
Speaker 1: I'd rather stink without it. But then again, here's the thing.

2354
02:11:36,440 --> 02:11:40,000
Speaker 1: He wasn't all that bad with Seattle last year, and

2355
02:11:40,240 --> 02:11:44,600
Speaker 1: this year he's with this head coach who who only

2356
02:11:45,120 --> 02:11:47,360
Speaker 1: the only thing he knows about how to about time

2357
02:11:47,400 --> 02:11:52,440
Speaker 1: out management is how to signal for it. So you

2358
02:11:52,560 --> 02:11:55,880
Speaker 1: gotta think, wow, that if you can get a better

2359
02:11:56,040 --> 02:11:59,920
Speaker 1: head coach, you'll get more mileage out of your hundred

2360
02:12:00,000 --> 02:12:03,200
Speaker 1: sixty one million that you're paying the guy. I just wonder,

2361
02:12:03,320 --> 02:12:07,000
Speaker 1: because how much of this do you lay it Nate Hackett? Right,

2362
02:12:07,480 --> 02:12:11,120
Speaker 1: So that's the easier move. You know, you probably have

2363
02:12:11,200 --> 02:12:13,760
Speaker 1: to keep Wilson because of the cap hit, so you

2364
02:12:13,880 --> 02:12:16,360
Speaker 1: probably move on from Hackett and hope a new offensive

2365
02:12:16,400 --> 02:12:19,080
Speaker 1: guy can make it better because you're stuck with this

2366
02:12:19,160 --> 02:12:20,960
Speaker 1: guy with the dead cap hit for probably the next

2367
02:12:21,000 --> 02:12:24,240
Speaker 1: two years. So you change the coach and you hope

2368
02:12:24,280 --> 02:12:27,280
Speaker 1: the offense. I mean, you look at what Mike McDaniel

2369
02:12:27,360 --> 02:12:29,280
Speaker 1: did for TUA. There's no reason to think you can't

2370
02:12:29,320 --> 02:12:31,480
Speaker 1: do that with a veteran quarterback in Denver. Now, certainly

2371
02:12:31,560 --> 02:12:33,400
Speaker 1: he's on the downside and he's not going to get better,

2372
02:12:33,560 --> 02:12:36,120
Speaker 1: but at least maybe perhaps he can maintain and with

2373
02:12:36,320 --> 02:12:42,040
Speaker 1: some better quarterback management and offensive management, you'd think you

2374
02:12:42,120 --> 02:12:47,080
Speaker 1: could at least tread water instead of drown. Break time

2375
02:12:47,120 --> 02:12:48,760
Speaker 1: for us back to close it up next year on

2376
02:12:48,800 --> 02:13:06,680
Speaker 1: one of Bill's Life. Okay, So, as we mentioned in

2377
02:13:06,760 --> 02:13:09,040
Speaker 1: the second hour of the show, it was decided that

2378
02:13:09,160 --> 02:13:11,240
Speaker 1: the Bills game in Week fifteen is going to be

2379
02:13:11,360 --> 02:13:15,320
Speaker 1: Saturday night at high Mark Stadium, Bills Dolphins, eight fifteen

2380
02:13:15,440 --> 02:13:18,200
Speaker 1: pm kickoff. We know it'll be a colder game because

2381
02:13:18,240 --> 02:13:20,720
Speaker 1: of that, with the sundown and everything for the Dolphins,

2382
02:13:21,440 --> 02:13:23,320
Speaker 1: and we also know it's gonna be a short week

2383
02:13:23,400 --> 02:13:26,080
Speaker 1: for them because they're playing at LA this week and

2384
02:13:26,160 --> 02:13:28,800
Speaker 1: they are the Sunday night football game this week, so

2385
02:13:28,960 --> 02:13:31,720
Speaker 1: Sunday night West Coast. The Bills did that in Week one.

2386
02:13:31,760 --> 02:13:34,640
Speaker 1: I experienced it. We didn't get back until Monday morning,

2387
02:13:34,720 --> 02:13:38,800
Speaker 1: six fifteen am. Yeah. It functionally, it functionally removes an

2388
02:13:38,840 --> 02:13:41,360
Speaker 1: extra like a half. They're losing a day. Yeah, they're

2389
02:13:41,400 --> 02:13:43,520
Speaker 1: losing a full day of a normal week because of

2390
02:13:43,560 --> 02:13:45,920
Speaker 1: the Sun the Saturday night game because they have to

2391
02:13:46,160 --> 02:13:48,040
Speaker 1: be by league rule, they got to travel the day

2392
02:13:48,080 --> 02:13:51,800
Speaker 1: before the game, so they're gonna travel Friday instead of Saturday.

2393
02:13:51,960 --> 02:13:55,080
Speaker 1: And they won't get back to Miami after being gone

2394
02:13:55,120 --> 02:13:59,440
Speaker 1: a week until six am, six am Monday morning. You know,

2395
02:13:59,720 --> 02:14:02,520
Speaker 1: it's it's a rough week for Miami, but don't don't

2396
02:14:02,600 --> 02:14:04,960
Speaker 1: count on that being the thing. But it doesn't help them,

2397
02:14:05,000 --> 02:14:07,360
Speaker 1: and I think that's the most important thing. And you know,

2398
02:14:07,600 --> 02:14:09,360
Speaker 1: if we can put a few extra ice blocks under

2399
02:14:09,400 --> 02:14:12,040
Speaker 1: their benches even better, that'll do it for us. Here

2400
02:14:12,080 --> 02:14:13,520
Speaker 1: on one Bills Live on a Monday. We'll see you

2401
02:14:13,560 --> 02:14:14,240
Speaker 1: tomorrow at one
