1
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: Caster cuts down at a Steve Caster who has put

2
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: all over the field. Unique. He was kind of a

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: dual role fighter for you, Steve a blimp. We're not

4
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: even in the scredit bear of normalcy. They take the stamp.

5
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: They toss it to Harris, finds room. He's open, He's

6
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: at midfield, He's headed to the end zone. There he

7
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: goes Damian Harris breaks loose and scores for the touchdown. Unbelievable,

8
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: high wind aided bounces at the twenty one, can't get

9
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: to it. Bills down there to cover up, and they

10
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: get it. Micah High covers up at the fourteen yard line,

11
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: or Sir and Neil who covers up at the fourteen

12
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: yard line? Did he touch it? I think he did.

13
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: The Bills every cover of the football. Josh Allen in

14
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: the shotgun, first down from the fourteen, in the snap

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: fix the hand up fire. It's a strike caught touchdown,

16
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo touchdown Bills. It is kabriel' davis, an absolute fatsball

17
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 1: from Josh Allen and the Bills find the end zone.

18
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: Snap is cleaned, the kick is on the way, it

19
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: is up. It is no good. He miss it. Why

20
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: to the right side now the snap, Josh looks to

21
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: his left back pedals throws towards the end zone. It

22
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: is knocked away, incomplete, knocked away by Miles the defensive

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: back around the five yard line. The balls incomplete, The

24
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: Patriots will take over on downs and the fans start

25
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: to head to the exit. That is your Toshiba game.

26
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: Rewind Toshiba, the official copy or company of the Buffalo Bills. Somebody,

27
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: anybody make it feel better. Yeah, after a Monday night

28
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: football defeat at the hands of the hated New England Patriots.

29
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: That was the It was like so many of their

30
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: Patriot games over the years. You see your team make

31
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: a mistake here and there in the mist and the

32
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: and the Patriots like you heard us saw on the

33
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: heard in the highlights just a minute ago. You know,

34
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: the ball bouncing on the punt off and to kill

35
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: Harry's helmet, Bills get it leads to a touchdown. It's

36
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: the one mistake they made and Bills made him pay

37
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: for it. And really that's the only that's the only

38
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: single other mistake you can point to the Patriots having

39
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: had happened to them last night. The Bills, of course,

40
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: drop passes, fumble, on the plus side of the field

41
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: pre snap penalties one for four in the red zone. UM,

42
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: just you know, and they that's it. They did it.

43
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: Um missed the field goal that would have given them

44
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: a chance to win it on the next series that

45
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: they got down there again. Um, but had to go

46
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: for a field for a touchdown instead of just kicking

47
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: the winning extra point. Um, Tyler bass that ball. You know,

48
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: if you saw them, if you saw the kick, ball

49
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: was going just to the maybe the center of the

50
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: center of the uprights, maybe a little bit right of

51
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: the center of the uprights. They got blown way way wide,

52
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: way to the right, and uh misses it. And that's

53
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: really the chance that really the Bills had to salvage

54
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: that game out of what was just a horrific weather night. UM. Yeah,

55
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on in that game, a lot

56
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: going on that's pretty frustrating. I think it's frustrating for

57
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: the people who followed this team having some faith that

58
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: they were gonna you know, this is gonna be one

59
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: of their up games, you know, one of the games

60
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: where they show up like they did against New Orleans,

61
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, on Thanksgiving, like they did against um Miami,

62
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: like you know, all of that stuff, and once again

63
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: they kept to that pace that we've been looking at,

64
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: win and a loss, and a win and a loss,

65
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: and of course this is the week where they were

66
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: m gonna stack a win on top of a win,

67
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: and they couldn't get it done. Patriots come out and

68
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: they never you know, they were never able to force

69
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: them to throw the football, and that it led to

70
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: the kind of win that they got last night at

71
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: four pointin right, It's a typical type of win for

72
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots. They just grind them out. That's what they do.

73
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: Occasionally they'll blow a team out of the water, like

74
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: they did the Browns a couple of weeks ago forty

75
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: five seven. Because the Browns compounded their errors. It took

76
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: them a long time to finally pull away from the Titans,

77
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: but they used takeaways to do that and make it

78
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: look like a lopsided game when it was actually a

79
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: pretty close game through the first half of that contest.

80
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: With the Titans last night, they're in a nip and

81
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: tuck game. They don't mess it up. Aside from the

82
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: special team's ball grazing the helmet of nikkil Harry, as

83
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: Steve mentioned, there really aren't too many blemishes to their performance,

84
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: and that's what they do. They had some penalties, had

85
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: had a roughing the passer call or you know, roughing Josh,

86
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: unnecessary roughness on Josh out of bounds. They had a

87
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: an offside penalty as well. Um, you know, Bills had one.

88
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: The delay of game penalty was goodness gracious, Yeah that

89
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: was can't have it, Yeah, you can't have it. But

90
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: it was also a play that should not have been

91
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: absolutely should not have been called. Um it never is. UM.

92
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: I don't care about the split second that the ball

93
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: was snapped while the thing was snapping to zero. It's

94
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: it's never called. It's not called, and the league says

95
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: it shouldn't have been called, but they called it. That

96
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: kind of stuff is maddening and infuriating, but it's this

97
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: is like the other losses of the Bills have suffered,

98
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: except for the Indianapolis loss. It comes down it's so close,

99
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 1: one score game, and it comes down to what any

100
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: one of five, six ten plays that could have gone

101
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: the other way that leaves the Bills in a four

102
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: point loss instead of a three point win or or

103
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: one point win. That's that's the frustrating part about these

104
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: games of this nature is that you know you should

105
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: have won it on nine different occasions, you couldn't get

106
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: it done any one of them. And you know we

107
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: can spin the weather anyway you want. I thought it

108
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: would be interesting to go back and look, because at halftime,

109
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: I'm out and about I'll say, I'm out of the

110
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,799
Speaker 1: press box, I'm down amongst the fans, and the prevailing

111
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:36,239
Speaker 1: opinion or complaint was, why are the Bills not throwing

112
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: more with the wind at their back? Which you know,

113
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: I get. You're going with the wind. You're not worried

114
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: about the ball getting knocked down necessarily in those circumstances.

115
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: So I looked Steve and I broke it down in

116
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: terms of what their run to pass numbers were with

117
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: the wind and going into the wind in the second

118
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: and fourth quarter, with the wind in the first and

119
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: third quarter. So with the wind the Bills ran at

120
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: twelve times, passed it twelve times. With the wind, they

121
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: were a fifty fifty balance. Now, to keep in mind,

122
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: I am including sacks as pass plays and I'm including

123
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: scrambles as run plays. By joke, okay, twelve twelve to twelve.

124
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: Even Stephen with the wind run to pass against the

125
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: wind second and fourth quarters fifteen runs, nineteen passes. Now,

126
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: we should also take into account you're getting to the

127
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: end of the game. You got to move the football,

128
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: try to get into at least field goal range or

129
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: scoring range. You're gonna throw a little bit more, probably

130
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter there, so that would account for

131
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 1: a little bit more of the throwing. Now, Josh after

132
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: the game did say specifically, when asked how much did

133
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: the wind affect your throwing? He said a little bit,

134
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: but it wasn't that bad. So if that's the case,

135
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, do you not explore making use of a

136
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: passing game a little bit more? Much like they did.

137
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: We're watching a throw twenty six yard rope to stefana

138
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: shoulder and into the wind. Yeah, not a great Josh

139
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: made some a handful of spectacular throws last night, no question.

140
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: Some of them. The ball was moving around a little bit,

141
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: no question. But I was surprised by it. I gotta

142
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: be honest with you. I was really surprised his ability

143
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: to throw the football. And I know he's a big,

144
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: strong run but folks, I've been down there. You can't

145
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: imagine how hard it is to throw in that junk,

146
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: and I think if if the Patriots could have been

147
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: forced to throw a little bit more, if the if

148
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: the Bills could have scored another touchdowner gotten up by

149
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: four points, and had the Patriots kind of changed their approach,

150
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, I think mac Jones really would have struggled.

151
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: But it never got to that point. It never got

152
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: to that point because the Bills couldn't punch it in

153
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: in the red zone when they had the chance for

154
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: a variety of reasons. And that was the thing that

155
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: really surprised me, is the fact that Josh threw it

156
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: as well as he did. And then there were functionality questions, Steve,

157
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: you already mentioned the delay of game. There was another instance.

158
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: You know, they get in there, first and goal on

159
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: the six after the horse collar penalty, and they run

160
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: I think it was singletary no gain, second and ten

161
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: or second and nine, whatever the heck it was. They

162
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: can't get the play in. They have to call a timeout.

163
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: It was first and goal on the six, no game

164
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: run the ball, no gain, second and goal on the six.

165
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: Play doesn't get in time, they have to call a timeout. Yeah,

166
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: I was surprised when I was there I was like,

167
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, how did that play clock get that

168
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: because it didn't seem like anything happened, but man, oh man,

169
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: the play clock got away from him quick, and I

170
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: was surprised by that. But you're right, they got down

171
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: to two and they weren't even out of the huddle.

172
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: It was Yeah, so there's another one. It's just it's

173
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: week thirteen. Those things, Yeah, do you know what I mean? Like,

174
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: you want to talk about week one, week two with

175
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: only a two game preseason three game preseason two games

176
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: next year, you know, okay, you know you're still getting

177
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: a couple of the kinks out fine right week thirteen

178
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: in a four point game, in a goal to go

179
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: situation that cannot happen. It just can't. And that's the

180
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: least of the issues. And then you know, poor decision making.

181
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: You take a sack there in going into the wind,

182
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: making life harder for the kicker. It's just the red

183
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: zone was that's what costs them the game last night,

184
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: and that was the biggest factor in why they didn't

185
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: win the game last night. Their first and goal on

186
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: the shortcomings in the red zone. They're one for four

187
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: down there. Their gift wrapped the first one on a

188
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: poor decision on special teams. They got first and ten

189
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: at the fourteen yard line. They took it in right

190
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: away play action, make a pass touchdown. Okay, let's roll.

191
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: Could not get it going, couldn't come up with answers

192
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: down there. We couldn't run the ball. Dawson knocks the

193
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: full start, Um backed him up. Then they throw the

194
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: ball into the end zone. Can't come up with that catch. Um. Yeah,

195
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: Knox had as bad a game as as he's had

196
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 1: him and he was a rookie again last night. Um

197
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: had a couple of catches, but you know, in six targets, Um,

198
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: you'd like to see him come up with four catches,

199
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: but just didn't happen. And the and the full start

200
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: penalty was was a crusher, So he had you know,

201
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: he took a step back last night. Lots going on,

202
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: and it's it's so frustrating because there was so much

203
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: there to be had for the Buffalo Bills. And while

204
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: you know there's even today they're in the playoffs. They're

205
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, but man, oh man, it feels like

206
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: it feels like they got a top five pick in

207
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: the draft. Kind of season going on. Here and we're

208
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: in the playoff hunt. This is how differently things feel

209
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: today than they did, you know, a week ago. Yeah.

210
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: The other thing too, Steve, is so they get that

211
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: red zone touchdown, they don't get down in the red

212
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: zone again until the latter stages of the third quarter.

213
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: It's first and ten at the twenty, Zack Moss three yards.

214
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: Second and seven, Alan throws a pass that couldn't connect

215
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: with Gabe Davis. He was tipped at the line, goes incomplete.

216
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: Now's third and seven, also incomplete. Fortunately, Tyler Bass comes

217
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: through with the thirty five yard field goal. This is

218
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: what the wind at his back in the third quarter

219
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: to make it fourteen ten, and then they go on

220
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: their longest drive of the game. They get down to

221
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots twenty yard line. On a second and seven.

222
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: He hits Zack Moss on a leak out in the

223
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: left flat, gets the seven yard game, gets the flag

224
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: for the horse collar on top of it. First in goal,

225
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 1: no game, second goal, sack for a nine yard loss.

226
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: Third and goal from the fifteen. Alan seem pass for

227
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: Knox comes out way too early. Dawson is winning the route.

228
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: He's about to come out of the break the balls

229
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: already by his ear. Yeah, that was the one where

230
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: they thought that an off side penalty. Yeah, that's what

231
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: Josh had flinched into the ends, and I thought, yeah,

232
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: I thought it was a missed call too. Now, certainly

233
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: they didn't jump all the way across the line, it

234
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: did seem like they got in there, but the officials

235
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: said no. Josh thought he had a free play. You'd

236
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: think he'd might check the sidelines to see if you

237
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: saw a flag in the air. Didn't feel the need

238
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: to do that through it to kind of literally kind

239
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: of threw it half hazardly, thinking okay, let's make a play.

240
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll get a penalty at the other end. Anyway,

241
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: completely incomplete, completely, you know, not no chance for completion

242
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: because it came out too early, right, Yeah, that's frustrating.

243
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: And then Bass pushes the field goal to the right.

244
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 1: After the failed red zone opportunity to come away with nothing,

245
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: the defense stands tall, gets you with three and out

246
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: gets you the ball back again. With three minutes and

247
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: change left, they get down to the New England nineteen

248
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: yard line. Alan improvises on a second and four scrambles

249
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: five yards for a first down. So now it's first

250
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: and ten at the fourteen singletary plus one, second and

251
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: nine at the thirteen. Allen's pass goes wide and behind

252
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs on one looked like a back shoulder throw

253
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: type play. Third and nine. Knox, as you mentioned, flagged

254
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: for a false start. Now it's third and fourteen at

255
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: the eighteen. Alan has to roll away from pressure, you know,

256
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: throws a prayer to Knox in the end zone. Some

257
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: handsy coverage by Adrian Phillips. I think they could have

258
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: at least called defensive holding there, if not passing interference.

259
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: That doesn't work. Now it's fourth and fourteen at the

260
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: eighteen and Alan faces a cover zero blitz except Miles

261
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: Bryant drops off his coverage assignment and is in the

262
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: path of the pass, which was I think intended for

263
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis fall short of its intended target. It's knocked down,

264
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: came over. Yeah, that last pass had no chance of

265
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: being completed. Yeah, it had better a chance of actually

266
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: being picked off. That would never have reached Gabe Davis.

267
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: I don't know who was. In fact I was, and

268
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: when he threw it, I was like, I didn't I

269
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: didn't even know who was four. Yeah, either the ball

270
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: got really knocked down hard and it looked like it

271
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: was gonna be short to Gabe Davis, or he just

272
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: misfired against Cole Beasley. But it looked like I think

273
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: he was trying to throw that into the back center

274
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: of the end zone to Gabe Davis and the winds

275
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: just knocked it down. It was it was to nobody.

276
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: McDermott was as direct and honest as I have heard

277
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: him after a game in a long time, and when

278
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: asked about the red zone play specifically said just sloppy football.

279
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you name it, pre snap penalty. Just no rhythm,

280
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: no rhythm down there. End quote. Yeah. You got to

281
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: think too, the defense is sitting there the one touchdown

282
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: on the night, one touchdown and two field goals. Yeah,

283
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: it's hard to hard to be happy that about that.

284
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: They are hard to be unhappy about that. As a defense.

285
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: You can say what you want about the run game.

286
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: I get it. In forty mile hour wins, they're running

287
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: it right at you. They had the same type of

288
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: day that the Patriot defense. Did you know, they gave

289
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: up some yards. They gave up The teams were pretty

290
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: commensurate in their yardage. I mean the Patriots and the

291
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: Bills both had this about the same amount of yards. Certainly,

292
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: the Bills was more passing than the Patriots, and the

293
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: Patriots was all running, but they were pretty It was

294
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: kind of the same game for both offenses. The difference

295
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: was Patriots got one extra field goal and the two

296
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: point conversion and that was the game. That was the game.

297
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott was asked a number of questions after the game.

298
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: Once again, a question that came up concerned the team's

299
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: level of physicality in games. As we know, playing physical

300
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage and winning. There has been

301
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: an issue that has cropped up more than once this

302
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: season when facing physical offensive fronts and heck, even physical

303
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: defensive fronts. And they're gonna be facing another physical defensive

304
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: front in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week, and coach,

305
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: when asked about physicality and where he feels his team is, says, yeah,

306
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: not good enough. We've got to be able to run

307
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: the football. We've got to be able to stop the run.

308
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: Those things don't change. The message hasn't changed in terms

309
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: of physicality and the necessity for physicality in what we

310
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: do it's why we start training camp the way we

311
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: do by running the football, and you've got to win

312
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. And their backs averaged over five

313
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: yards to carry. Our backs average three point one, So

314
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: not good enough. So back to the drawing board they go.

315
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: I thought it was very telling to Steve that coach

316
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: McDermott when asked this late in the season. Is it

317
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: fixable because this is the time of year where teams

318
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: really show their true colors. We are who we are

319
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: and identity wise, I don't know if the Bills have

320
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: effectively established who they are, which is probably not a

321
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: good thing. Well, I think here's the I'll say this.

322
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: You can make all the excuses you want and have

323
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: come up with all the reasons you want and the

324
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: justifications for the way we feel the way we do.

325
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: But this is a team that rides with their quarterback,

326
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: no question about it. The fact that they could throw

327
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: the ball at all last night, from my experience of

328
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: being in the game like that, is a miracle. And

329
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: Josh made a handful of throws that were like eye popping.

330
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: They were hard to catch. They were playing against a

331
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: really good defensive front, got some pretty good pressure. I

332
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: thought the offense of line played a little better in

333
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: pass protection. They did, couldn't still couldn't run the ball

334
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: effectively enough for most of us. But you know this

335
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 1: is this is a team that centers around offensively, centers

336
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: around the guy taking snaps, and if he can't be effective,

337
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: they have no chance. He was a little off on throws.

338
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: You have to probably attribute to win to some degree

339
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: to a few of those, maybe most of those, but

340
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: there was some decision making that was a little off

341
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: with him. It compromised the rhythm of the offense, I think,

342
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: and the run game just was not productive enough. And

343
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a unit wide issue. People

344
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: always point to the offensive line and winning the line

345
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,239
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, and I'm not going to deny that that

346
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: has cropped up as an issue this season. But I

347
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: think there's a vision situation here with the backs at

348
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: times too. I don't know if they don't trust the blocking.

349
00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if they read the defense correctly. You know,

350
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: I'm not enough of a trained eye, and I don't

351
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: know what the play calls are, so I don't want

352
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: to speculate, but it seems that it covers all the

353
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: bases on offense. This is not a one or two

354
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: player thing. This seems like an eleven player situation where

355
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: everybody has got to execute their assignments just a little

356
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: bit better here if they're going to get any more

357
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: traction in the run game, and after seeing them perform

358
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: for twelve games, Steve, I don't know what's going to

359
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: convince me that it's going to change for the better

360
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: that in short order this year, I think, Yeah, you've

361
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: got a reason you are who you are at this point.

362
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: Now you can say whatever. If you're gonna get healthier

363
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 1: and you get certain guys back and it changes the chemistry,

364
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: maybe that will happen. Maybe this is a team a

365
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: little bit like the Kansas City Chiefs were, where they

366
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: lost it for the first half of the season. Now

367
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: they're kind of getting it back. Maybe the Bills could

368
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: mimic that type of a turnaround as well to get

369
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: back into the saddle. Certainly, going down into Lord of

370
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: this week will at least give them a chance to

371
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: play in a game that isn't in a rainstorm and

372
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: a windstorm that they've had a handful of this year. Okay,

373
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: but the simple fact of the matter is you gotta

374
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: play better. Um, you gotta play better in situations where

375
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: and you know, Mitch Morris attendant to shooting yourself in

376
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: the foot And I know that's a that's the oldest

377
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: of cliches. But they're making too many mistakes. They're making

378
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: too many mistakes. You can say what you want about

379
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots. The Bills played a bad football game last

380
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: night and it was still theirs to win at the

381
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,479
Speaker 1: end because they have a defense that can hold them

382
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: in games that's right. And they couldn't make they couldn't

383
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: have enough string enough positive plays together without making a

384
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: mistake that compromise their ability to continue. Um, they're still

385
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: one of the best offenses, if not the best offense

386
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: in the league. Had getting first downs on series, never

387
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: getting you know, having a fewest three and outs, getting

388
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: a convertible first down and can move in the chains.

389
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: There's still the best, one of the best, if not

390
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: the best offense in the league at that. But something's

391
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: not clicking when they get down into crunch time. Last

392
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: year they were an incredibly effective red zone team. Not

393
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: so this year. They've got to find the answers to that.

394
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: And I know, and I've said it to I said

395
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: it to people last night. I was. I was in

396
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: the Westwood one radio booth last night with Kevin Harland

397
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: and Kurt Warner talking to the guys, and I said,

398
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: they got, this is a team that's got a big engine.

399
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're equating it to a car, they

400
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: got a big engine. They can go. When they get

401
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: that thing ribbed, they can go. The problem is it

402
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: doesn't seem tuned up. It's sputtering at times. It's just

403
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: it just cuts out at the wrong It cuts out

404
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: at the wrong times, and for a variety of reasons. Right,

405
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean that's the frustrating party got. Oh, well, that's

406
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: why I'm saying it. It's not just one or two guy. Yeah,

407
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: it's an oh, it's an off size here, Oh my gosh,

408
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: a holding penalty now, and then those aren't the same people. Yeah.

409
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: Or it's a false a false start, or an offside

410
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: or a holding penalty, or a drop pass or a

411
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: miscommunication or a bad read by Josh, or a bad throw,

412
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: or somebody leaks through on the offensive line flushes them out.

413
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: They got nothing. It's all of that. So do we

414
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: call what do we label? That? Is that systemic? If

415
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: it's that widespread through your entire offensive unit, where guys

416
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: are taking turns. I think here's the thing. I think.

417
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: I think it's you can, yeah, you can put it

418
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: as a systemic mindset that needs to be They need

419
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: to buckle down. And there's only so much a head

420
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: coach like Sean McDermott can do. I mean, they can

421
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: hammer and beat it in, but something will happen. Well,

422
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: they will where the team and the players themselves will

423
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: say all right, Ay, that's it, let's go. And whatever

424
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: that thing is or that mindset is, it spreads fast

425
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: and it changes. You've seen it happen to other teams.

426
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: It happened for a team I was on. It's happened

427
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: to the Kansas City Chiefs this year. It happened to

428
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: the Patriots. After the first five weeks of the season,

429
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: Bucks had For six weeks of the season, Bucks had

430
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,479
Speaker 1: a three game losing streak in November last year, it

431
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: happens to the New York Giants were about to fire

432
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: their head coach and they went on went to the

433
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and they lost that Super Bowl too. That

434
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: was two thousand thousand, two thousand and seven. It was

435
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: it was the No. Two thousand and seven, they won,

436
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: They beat the Patriots room in their rookie you're thinking

437
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: of Jim Fossils two thousand teams two thousand teen, Kerry

438
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: Collins at quarterback. That's right. They get there and they

439
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: get crushed by the getting crushed by the Ravens in

440
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. But you've seen it with other teams that

441
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: their fortunes change. And that's what it is. And that's

442
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: what it is. It's a mindset in the huddle. When

443
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: those guys get in there, things are going to be

444
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: different for some reason, whatever reason. And that's a that's

445
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: almost like a ghost to chase, you know what I mean?

446
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: How do you how do you find that? How do

447
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: you manufacture it? How do you consciously change the mindset

448
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: of the guys that are standing around in the in

449
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: the huddle. Um, it's but we've seen this team and

450
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: this virtually this group and actually this group would be

451
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: better I think than the group they had last year

452
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: up front when they're healthy with Feliciano and Brown in there,

453
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: this group's even better. Has a manifest has manifests. Where

454
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: is it? You gotta see it, you gotta see it.

455
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: That's um, that's the frustrating part of it. But I

456
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: you know that's the part that yet it both frustrates

457
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: you but also gives you a lot of hope because

458
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: you know it's in there running out of games though.

459
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: That's that's the thing too, there's a backstop here that

460
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: you're not going to get back past. All right, let

461
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: us know what your biggest takeaway from the Bills lost

462
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: to the Patriots was yesterday last night eight oh three

463
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: oh five fifty one eight eight five fifty two, five fifty.

464
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna lead off today with Chris in Brooklyn. Chris,

465
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bills live? Hey,

466
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: how are you guys? Um? You know, I think it

467
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: was just a just a team regression. The coaching staff,

468
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: in my opinion, has regressed. Gone as the McDermott that

469
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: goes for the win against the Titans if few weeks ago,

470
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: and he's been replaced by McDermot who kicks a field

471
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: goal and Patriots territory against the wind when we're down

472
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: by four, and who throws like a curious challenge on

473
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: the mac Jones run that ended up wasting a time out.

474
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: Day ball isn't making adjustments and insist on running the

475
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: ball between the tackles, even though it hasn't worked all season,

476
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: and Fraser at least got out of the nickel and

477
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: did some four three. But maybe I'm wrong on this,

478
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: but I don't understand why player and hide we're still

479
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: playing twelve yards off the ball when they knew the

480
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: Patriots weren't going to throw the ball. And I think

481
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: the offense is repressed too. Alan isn't seeing the field well,

482
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: missed a wide open Beasley at the end of the game.

483
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: Of course, the drops by, Knocks and Diggs didn't help.

484
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 1: We went from running Alan all the time last year

485
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: to barely running him now. And the Bills can't score

486
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: on the red zow. You know, the Bill's run defense

487
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: was suspect last year, but when the Bills were scoring

488
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: like they were back then, teams couldn't afford to keep

489
00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: running the ball. They had to switch to the pass

490
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: um and don't. I don't know what the issue is on.

491
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: That's that's all I got, and I'm just happy to

492
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: hear with what your guys thoughts are. Yeah, that's all good, Stuffy.

493
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: I say that the challenge I would agree with you

494
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: on in a game like that in a play like that,

495
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: We've all seen it a million times. There's no way

496
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: you're ever gonna get a look at a quarterback sneak

497
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: on a spot like There's no way they can reverse it.

498
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: There's never gonna be a camera angle that gives you

499
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: a satisfactory view of that. I was bummed about that

500
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: challenge as well. Um the field goal I got. I'm

501
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: I'm in the minority here. I know. I disagree with

502
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people to say it was crazy that

503
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: field goal needed to be made. That needed to be made.

504
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: If and I get it, they go out there in

505
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: the preseason. I saw some clips, but in the pre

506
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: pregame where Bass was kicking it from like thirty five

507
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: or from like forty yards out, kicking it up and

508
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: the ball was going and it would go backwards. It

509
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: never reached the kick he missed and the MSG viewers

510
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: are missing it. He started it out, He started it

511
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: out too far right. He started it out too far right.

512
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 1: Are you saying should have picked the left hash there?

513
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: He didn't have to pick the hash. He's got to

514
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: pick where he's aiming that down that the hash is

515
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: dictated by the last play that was running from scrimmage.

516
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: He's got to know that wind from that end, it's

517
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: gonna push the ball hard that way. You gotta put

518
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: it barely inside the left, upright, not down the middle,

519
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: not right of center, but almost left of at least

520
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: left of center. He mishit it. He hit it too far.

521
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: He didn't play the wind, and I you know that's

522
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: on him and that kick, and you can say he

523
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: should never have done that. He should have. Actually, if

524
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: they make that kick, they win the game because they

525
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: get a three and out on the next series, and

526
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: you can say what you want to after that, everything changes.

527
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: But it didn't. They get a three and out, the

528
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: Bills go right back down there and they could have

529
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: had another quick, easy field goal for the win. So

530
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: that's I mean, there's nobody. I mean you can say

531
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,719
Speaker 1: I thought that was the right call to make for McDermott.

532
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: Bass has got the leg to hit it. He should

533
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: have experience enough now he's been here an entire season

534
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: and through whether he's kicked in all kinds of what

535
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: he should know how to kick that ball into that end.

536
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: He missed it. I get everybody misses a field goal,

537
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: but that's not on the coach that was the right

538
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: call to make at that point. He gave you a chance.

539
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: There was still five and a half seven minutes sticking

540
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: it in the end zone in the red zone. Anyway,

541
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: you had to take the points. I agree with that,

542
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: But the challenge I agree with. I was like, ah,

543
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: there's and maybe he wanted to. I don't know that

544
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: he would probably not. It was a fourth down conversion.

545
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: He's not going to take a time out there anyway.

546
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: But he was asked about it and he said that

547
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: he challenged it on because he wanted to try to

548
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: get the ball back as quick as he could. He

549
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: was conscious of the fact that the Patriots were shortening

550
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,239
Speaker 1: the game when they were going into the wind by

551
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: running the tar out of the ball. They wanted to

552
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,719
Speaker 1: shorten the game as much as possible when they were

553
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: going into the wind, which they successfully did, and even

554
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: Eli Manning on the Manning Cast last night said, man,

555
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: with the way they're trying to shorten this game here

556
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: going into the wind, you may want to consider calling

557
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: some time out so you have more time with the wind, right,

558
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: And I think that's what McDermott said. He was kind

559
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: of doing there. He said, look, I'm going to challenge

560
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: the play here and stop the game, and the worst

561
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: case scenario is we don't get the turnover on downs.

562
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: But I at least stopped the clock and I burned

563
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: the time out there. It's just as if I called

564
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: time out on fourth down, and I think that's how

565
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: he viewed it. Well, yeah, but it was a converted

566
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: fourth down. They gave him the first down. Yeah, you're

567
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: not gonna gain any I guess you're gonna gain some rest,

568
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: I guess or whatever. But yeah, I knew, and I

569
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: think most people knew. There's no way they're gonna win

570
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: that challenge. So I thought there was an underlying issue

571
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: there of White called for maybe just to to burn

572
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: a time out, take some time to take stop the

573
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: clock because the clock was going to start again. We'll

574
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: take more of your phone calls when we come back

575
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: out to take a break here, Mike and Salamanca, Jessica

576
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: and Wayne hang out. We will get to you in

577
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: the next segment. We also need to address the other

578
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: comment that Chris and Brooklyn brought up, and that was

579
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: Josh running in the red zone. It has kind of

580
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: gone away the last few games. Would it have made

581
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: a difference in first and goal from the sixth situation

582
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: last night. What if you just ran him four times,

583
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: something good might have happened there, Just saying we'll address

584
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: that when we return here on One Bill's Live, presented

585
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to

586
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live. Chris Brown Steve Tasker on a therapeutic

587
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: Tuesday edition of the show on the heels of Buffalo's

588
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: Monday night loss to the New England Patriots, as the

589
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: division title is now in jeopardy. Obviously, the Bills have

590
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: a chance to write that because they still have another

591
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: game against the Patriots, and if they beat them and

592
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: stay within a game, that all is not lost for

593
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: a division title, but the task is significantly more difficult now.

594
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any debating that Josh Allen running Steve.

595
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: We saw some of it, more of the scramble variety

596
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: than the design variety, and he did make some plays

597
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,959
Speaker 1: with his legs down in the red zone, though there

598
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: hasn't been much of it, and the last handful of

599
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: games hasn't been much as much this year. Really, they

600
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: ran some like early in the season, I guess against

601
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's quarterback draws and stuff. But let's not forget why

602
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: you don't want that to be the case. So what

603
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: happens if I mean, I know it's it's fatalist thinking,

604
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: but if you do that, say you go in, You

605
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: run it the first two times, Okay, didn't get it,

606
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: gets dingled a little bit, gets up, runs it in

607
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: for the fourth time, and all of a sudden you

608
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: got a tip fib break on the quarterback. And now

609
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, Mitch, Mitch Trubisky the rest of the season.

610
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: But you beat the Patriots, and now there's some people

611
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: out there, I know right now they're going I take it.

612
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: I'd take it, right, I mean, just go out of

613
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: the reaction. But you know, I mean that's what you're

614
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: talking about. Running Josh down there three times on first

615
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: and goal in the sixth I do like your chances,

616
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: but that's just you know, it's a student body, right,

617
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,239
Speaker 1: and it's just holding holding him up to get get right.

618
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: Chunked on, you know, get get You're in a one

619
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: score game. The Bills have now lost four games by

620
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: one score. In those four games, they've lost by a

621
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: total combined seventeen points. And then the blowout lost to

622
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: the Colts, winning the close ones has become difficult, or

623
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: proven difficult. This season. They are oh for four in

624
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: those one game type situations. All their wins I think

625
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: have been by ten points or more. So you ask yourself,

626
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, you know, nobody's ever going to play the

627
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: perfect game in the NFL. The competition is too strong,

628
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: the margins are too tight. But when you are just

629
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: a little bit off and you're in a one score game,

630
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: it can very well mean the difference between winning and losing.

631
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: And I think that's what we saw last night. Let's

632
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: go back to the phones, and I believe we have

633
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: Mike in Salamanca. Mike, what do you have for us?

634
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's Live. I was so mad yesterday

635
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: about the run game and whatever, okay whatever, that's where

636
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,919
Speaker 1: a lot get out? He wait, how long do you wait?

637
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: Half an hour? He waited half an hour for that

638
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: priceless Bless his heart, Mike from salom I was so

639
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: mad about that run game? Was it our run game?

640
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: He's mad at it? Yells are there could have been either?

641
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: I guess, um, was it our run game? It happened

642
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: to be hours, right, I don't know it would have said,

643
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: run defense if it was there, Yeah, I think it

644
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: was the Bills run game that Mike and Salamanca was

645
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: sore about. I get sorry to hear it, Mike, and

646
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: we're with you. I'm with you. Yeah, he's exasperated, he's

647
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 1: so mad. It's just I'm everybody's there. I gotta hang

648
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: up at one point, I mean, at what point? I

649
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: mean that that game yesterday for all the and there

650
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: was a lot of angst. We we talked and laughed about.

651
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: We heard it from nervous how nervous people were leading

652
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: up to the game, waiting over all weekend for the gaming.

653
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: And how about the way the game went when they

654
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: got that quick long touchdown, It's like, oh no, we

655
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: came back and got we're one point back. They get

656
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: that game was an absolute torture chamber for Bills fans.

657
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 1: How about Monday show. We're here as an extended pregame

658
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: show and Herman ken Moore is all mad. We're talking

659
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: too much about the Patriots, right. I understand people are

660
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: sick of this team, but I got news for you.

661
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: They're not going away. Yeah. You might hear about him.

662
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: You might hear about him twice more this season. You

663
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: might get him definitely once more. You got him once

664
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 1: more and if if, depending on how it all falls,

665
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: you may be going to Foxboro again, or they may

666
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: be coming here under some some miraculary miracular circumstances. Um.

667
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: But that's yeah, that's that game was a torture chamber

668
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 1: from Bills fans from start to finish. Just the angst

669
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: and the wind and all of that. And and Mac

670
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: Jones throws one pass I think in the first half,

671
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: and it's like a double tipped out of control, completely

672
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 1: off target flutterball that he the guy that's Johnny Smith,

673
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 1: tipped to himself and pulled in the page. Unbelievable. Patriots

674
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: have the lowest drop rate in the league one point

675
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: eight percent on the year. Yeah, one point eight percent. Uh.

676
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: They are efficient at just about everything that they do.

677
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones. I believe we have

678
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: Jessica in Wayne County. What do you have for us? Jessica,

679
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: you're on One Bill's Live. She's not there. All right,

680
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,720
Speaker 1: we'll move along. We'll go to Tom and cheek Owaga.

681
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: You're on One Bill's Live. What do you have for us? Tom? Hi? Well, okay,

682
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: all you guys talking about the coaches that you and

683
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: the plays and all that. The simple problems while we're

684
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: losing the Big three games is well, first we have

685
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: a poor running defense and we have no running game.

686
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: Now you got the list of tap rushers. All those

687
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: guys are big two forty, two fifty. We have shrimps.

688
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: We don't have a They don't have a five foot

689
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: eight runner in the top list. And you got to

690
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: get a bull horse that could get more than two

691
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: yards a carry. We could have we're in the six

692
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,919
Speaker 1: yard line. We couldn't punch it in. Well, why don't

693
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: think it? They need a cookie, Gil Chris, you know,

694
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,879
Speaker 1: or someone like that. There must be someone out there

695
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: because we're a one dimensional team. We have the pen

696
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: and Alan he didn't lose the game for us, couldn't

697
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: run the ball. So I don't know. No one wants

698
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: to seem to address the problem. But these guys are

699
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: too small. They're finesse runners. But that doesn't work anymore.

700
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,720
Speaker 1: Thurman Thomas, O. J. Simpson. You don't see those guys anymore.

701
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: So what's can't they get someone? Draft someone or pick

702
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: someone up someone that's could get more than two yards

703
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: an average. I'm not carry that's ridiculous. Well in the

704
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: off season, Yeah, not right now. Tom, there's nobody out

705
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: We don't know. There's that guy's not out there. Um,

706
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: he's he's not out there. Seems to be the major problem.

707
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 1: So you'd like to you'd like to get a big

708
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: fat n F four games and I chanced they might

709
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: sneak into the playoffs. So Tom, you could say, by

710
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: hooker crook, Tom, by hooker crook, this offseason, you wanted

711
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: to get a big, fast running back, and there we are.

712
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 1: That's good radio, right, all right, job, thanks very much. Thanks,

713
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: we appreciate it. We'll move along, running fire. Mom, you

714
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 1: call back anytime you want give me a big running

715
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: back fast. Let's go to I like where your head's at.

716
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: Let's go to Rick on a cell next, Rick, what

717
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: do you have for us? You're on one Bill's life. Rick,

718
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: are you there? Yeah? You're looking for Dick And what's

719
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: in New York? Sure? Yeah. My My problem was with

720
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 1: the coaching last night, and was actually with the lineup.

721
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: Why we putting Michael High back there the field kickoffs

722
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: and we've already decimated in the secondary, losing Serrabia's white.

723
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: Putting him in Harm's way and the only guy in

724
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: the teammate could run it back the length of the

725
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: field on a windy night like that wouldn't have been

726
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: Isaiah mackenzie and having him doing and then sweep around

727
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: or something and keeping their defensive line. You could have

728
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 1: pulled everybody to one side and try to push that

729
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: guy down the field with his speed. Yeah, Dick, I

730
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: having him in the lineup uh Mad made issues. And

731
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: putting Mica Hide back there and having him injured. That's

732
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 1: all we need to do moving forward, is having another

733
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: player out of the second Yeah. I get the concerns,

734
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 1: but historically McDermott's McDermott in questionable weather conditions has turned

735
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: to Micah Hyde because he trusts him. In terms of

736
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: ball security. He is not worried about the return average

737
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: on a night like last night. He is worried about

738
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: securing possession of the football, And when asked directly about

739
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: it last night after the game, he said, I'm putting

740
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: someone back there that I trust, and that's Micah Hyde

741
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: and it's obviously not the other two. And there's no

742
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: way you would put Marquez Stevenson back there, or a

743
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: rookie who played his college ball in the South at

744
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: the University of Houston. He's never seen weather like that,

745
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: so to put that on him would be unfair. And

746
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie, if you remember back in Week three against

747
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 1: Washington at the scoreboard end, muffed a punt in bad wind.

748
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: Coaches don't forget that stuff, so he wasn't gonna put

749
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: him out there on returns. Now, Dick, I will agree

750
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: with you on offense. I think that mackenzie could have

751
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 1: stretched the Patriots defense laterally, especially on a night where

752
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: you weren't going to throw the ball. You could use

753
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: those jet suites with him and stretched the defense horizontally,

754
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: which has created gaps for the passing game off playface,

755
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: I think you could have done that. So I'm with

756
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: you there. Here's my take on this. And I said,

757
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: I'll just say it. I'm gonna take credit because I

758
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: told you so last night. I didn't say this on

759
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: the air, but I did say this last night to

760
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: the same guys. I was telling Kevin Harlan and Kurt

761
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 1: Warner last night. Guys, not a single solitary punt will

762
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: be caught tonight. They're all gonna be bouncing. You're not

763
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 1: gonna get a punt return tonight, or a kick return

764
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 1: of any kind. The kickoff returns maybe if they kicked

765
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: him off into the wind, but nobody did. You did

766
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: not see a single kickoff, actually did Did you see

767
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 1: the opening kickoff went into the wind? I can't remember.

768
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: Nobody to mishandled one but kickoff in miss hand. That's right,

769
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:09,800
Speaker 1: Breed had boinked off his helmet. Nobody caught a single

770
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: kick all night. And let me just say this, let

771
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: me raise my hand. I called it. I called it.

772
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: I knew it was not gonna happen. So Isaiah McKenzie

773
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: and Marquez Stevenson were irrelevant in the kicking game last night.

774
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: They weren't gonna catch one and take at the distance.

775
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: They weren't gonna make something out of nothing. There was

776
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: nothing there in the kicking game last night that was

777
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: even a possibility of going your way. The only thing

778
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: you wanted to do was end every kicking play with

779
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 1: the ball in your possession. If they were kicking it

780
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: to you, make sure wherever it happens, just get away

781
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: from it and you get the ball back. Kickoffs, let

782
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: it go into the end zone, let it bounce out

783
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: of bounds. Last night. I don't know if anybody noticed.

784
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: Not a single kick was fielded. Not a single kick

785
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: was fielded in the air. Not one. So that's why

786
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: you get the most out of your ross. And you

787
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: start players instead of guys who are gonna catch those

788
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 1: or do it like Isaiah McKenzie and Marquest Stevenson. Put

789
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: guys on your roster. They're gonna help you in other

790
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: places and see if you can maximize your roster that way.

791
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: Now you can say, and Brownie, you're right. They maybe

792
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie on the end a round and stuff. People

793
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: are clamoring for that now because there's something's got to

794
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: work in the running game. Two plays that get you

795
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: ten yards in that game last night, if you give

796
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: that twice to Isam McKenzie, and maybe you get a

797
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: little benefit if you fake it to him another time

798
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: or two. Yeah, okay, hey might have, but because that

799
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: was the way the game went. Yeah, and I think

800
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: people remember the last time the Bills used that, mackenzie

801
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 1: got into the end zone and the Bills were six

802
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: of seven in the red zone against the Jets. I

803
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: know it's the Jets and we're talking the Patriots, but

804
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: they've seen it work. So they're like, I can't try

805
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: it again. I get it, but this is not that

806
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, the Patriots aren't that and you want to

807
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: and if you're gonna for that four snaps you may get.

808
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: And I don't know who it would have been. Aligned

809
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: Maybe it was Joe Giles Harris who actually got on

810
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 1: the field some or who somebody else. Maybe it was

811
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: some guys who gave him some meaningful snaps and other things.

812
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:15,959
Speaker 1: Maybe it was Bates coming in as an extra wide

813
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 1: receiver or an extra tight end that we saw, or

814
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, some of the stuff like that. But that's

815
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: the reason for it. Nobody was gonna catch a kick

816
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: last night. And if you're not gonna use a punt

817
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: return or use that roster someplace where you can you

818
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: really give a guy some snaps, maybe an extra corner

819
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,479
Speaker 1: or an extra linebacker or an extra special teams player,

820
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 1: and all the running backs up too. We have to

821
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: we have to take a break here. Kevin and Hamburg,

822
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: hang tight. We'll get to you when we return more

823
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,919
Speaker 1: of your phone calls on your takeaways from last night's

824
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: disappointing defeat at the hand of the Patriots. It's one

825
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: Bill's Live presented by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo

826
00:44:53,040 --> 00:45:11,399
Speaker 1: Bill's radio John Schallen in the shotgun first down from

827
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: the fourteen to snap Bigs, hand up fire to strike touchdown,

828
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: Buffalo touchdown Bills. That is Gabriel Davis. An absolute fatsball

829
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:24,479
Speaker 1: from Josh Shallon. That is the Hunt red zone play

830
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: of the game. Gave Davis's first quarter touchdown the only

831
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,399
Speaker 1: red zone touchdown conversion of the game. Hunt Red Zone.

833
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: on all your real estate needs. Unfortunately, the Bills had

834
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: three more trips in the red zone and could not

835
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: break the goal line, and it hurts it ultimately is

836
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: a big reason why they do not come out victorious

837
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,919
Speaker 1: in a fourteen to ten at the hand of the Patriots. Yeah,

838
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,359
Speaker 1: all things being equal, and everything changes as the weather

839
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: changes as well. Mac Jones doesn't hand it off forties

840
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: five six times forty six. He doesn't hand it all

841
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: forty six times. They throw the football around and you

842
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: see more of the offense that we've been seeing from

843
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: them up and the game goes differently, and the Bills,

844
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: you know, kick at least kick field goals in those

845
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:14,760
Speaker 1: situations and Bass makes them, and the game is completely

846
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 1: different when the weather gets different. But the way the

847
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: game went last night, um, you know, I still you

848
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: still go back to the red zone opportunities. The Bills

849
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: move the football, got it down there. Job man, he

850
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: threw it way better than I thought he was going

851
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: to be able to way better. It was awful down there. Yeah,

852
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 1: and he's still was piping it in there. And you know,

853
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,720
Speaker 1: so a lot of incomplete is only fifty percent passing.

854
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, fifteen to thirty for one forty five. You

855
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: wonder should they have thrown more, particularly when they were

856
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: going with the win. I think they were. You know,

857
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: you go through warm ups and stuff and you think, okay,

858
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what you're talking to.

859
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: You like, I feel good about this, I feel good

860
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: about that. I can do this. I can do that. Right. No,

861
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 1: you don't take that play out of the game plan.

862
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: I can make that one, right, especially if we're going

863
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: with the wins. A lot of its happen exactly, and

864
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, thirty throws. If you told

865
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 1: me they're gonna throw it thirty times last night pregame,

866
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: I was like, you're nuts, You're nuts, but he got

867
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: it done. And the guys Diggs knocks Beasley maybe to

868
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: a certain extance. Unmanuel Sanders, I think those guys were

869
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 1: really struggling to track it, particularly on long throws. The

870
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: ball to Digs in the corner of the end zone.

871
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't believe he even got that within

872
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,240
Speaker 1: five yards of him and it hit him in the forearm.

873
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: Hit him in the forearm. Not that unbelievably, I you know,

874
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 1: so Josh made some throws that were just unbelievable and

875
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: I think unexpectedly so. Um. But that means it's not

876
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: just about throwing the football. You gotta track it and

877
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 1: pull it in when you're not just sitting there facing

878
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 1: it hooked looking at the guy. It's I was surprised

879
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: at how well Josh was able to deliver the ball. Yeah,

880
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: our MSG viewers here getting to look at it there,

881
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: and Josh couldn't believe he didn't come up with it

882
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: because he did put it on him. It was a

883
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 1: good throw in terms of accuracy, and unfortunately it just

884
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: hits him on the forearm. He looks over the wrong

885
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: shoulder first. Well, I think I think he was carrying

886
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: out a bounds wide so he tried to readjust and

887
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: just couldn't get his head around in his hands where

888
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: they needed to be. Yeah, I think he was looking

889
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 1: over the inside shoulder. First, Josh throws it and he

890
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: asked to baseball baseball turn on it, which means he

891
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: turns toward the crowd and then comes back around and

892
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: picks the ball up again. Yea, and did then looked

893
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: away again and looked back up at That's how long

894
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: the ball was in the air. And then he by

895
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: the time he looked back at it the third time

896
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: him it had moved enough and it was on him

897
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 1: and he couldn't pick it up. God, but that's that

898
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: throw was the throw of the night. That was the

899
00:48:55,320 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: incompletion of the night. Unbelievable that even was in the

900
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: ballpark of being in there. Let's go back to the phones.

901
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: Get to Kevin in Hamburg next, Kevin, what do you

902
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Is Kevin there? Oh? Here?

903
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 1: I am? Yeah? Am you there? Thank for taking my call? Um.

904
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: I think as a takeaway is as another disappointing takeaway

905
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: and starting to sound too much like a you know,

906
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: beating the dead horse. But trouble with another superior physically opponent. Yeah,

907
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: well and started. And it's another one that I called

908
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: about this after the Colton massacre, that we just cannot

909
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: take teams who physically punch us right back, you know,

910
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 1: and keep we play the team and they keep punch

911
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: us back, and we just cannot And I use the

912
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: old example back then about the box who just can't

913
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 1: beat someone who physically punches him back in the face. Yeah,

914
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: And it starting to sound like a broken record. You

915
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: can make a forty five out of it. If they

916
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 1: still made forty five. We can't be physical teams or

917
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 1: we struggle with them. Yeah. And this week against Tampa Bay,

918
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: we got the weather's nice, we gotta pull out all

919
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: the stops because to me, guys, my opinion is this

920
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay game reminds you a little bit of a

921
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 1: Sunday night game against the Steelers. Ravens. These that game

922
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: their seasons pretty much in deep poop, you know what

923
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah, dude, and I agree, And I think

924
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: thanks for cal Kevin. I think the key to this

925
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: game in in Tampa with the weather and whatever and

926
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 1: all of that stuff that's going on. I don't think

927
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,720
Speaker 1: it's any question the Bills have got to score points.

928
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: They have got to score points because that allows their

929
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: defense to play against an offense who is who is

930
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: in a desperate it has to throw the football. Yeah,

931
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: no question, they've struggled to stop the run. I get

932
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 1: all of that. They did it okay at time, but

933
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: they're very spotty last night even And you've got to

934
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 1: do it consistently. And I think that if the Bills

935
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: offense can be what we've seen it to be in

936
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: games and score, you know, thirty five, thirty to forty

937
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: points a game in this game, that's what it's going

938
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: to take to win because it puts the other offense

939
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 1: in a position where the Bills defense can measure up. Yeah,

940
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: and the Bucks secondary does have its share of injuries.

941
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 1: They're very short handed back there right now. Their defensive line, however,

942
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 1: is pretty formidable. And if you're going to spread the

943
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 1: field and thin that secondary out for the Bucks, which

944
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of fresh bodies, a lot of

945
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: healthy bodies, somehow, some way, you've got to design a

946
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 1: protection scheme to give Josh enough time to deliver the

947
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: football in those situations. We'll see and talk about it,

948
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: certainly a lot more leading into that game on the road.

949
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: It's four o'clock game this coming week down there at

950
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 1: Raymond James Stadium. We have to take a break here,

951
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 1: but when we come back, it's our weekly visit with

952
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football's Kyle Brandt. We'll have him dissect this

953
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: one and kind of take a bird's eye view of

954
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: this thing. He doesn't have Bills myopia like we do.

955
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 1: What are they saying at the national level about the

956
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: Bills now that they've slipped to seven and five. We'll

957
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 1: catch up with him next here on One Bills Live

958
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:40,359
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right,

959
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 1: welcome back One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Taster with you.

960
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:48,320
Speaker 1: It is our number two and joining us as he

961
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 1: does every Tuesday, is the one and only Kyle brand

962
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 1: from Good Morning Football. And we're short on sleep, Kyle.

963
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: We're a little hungover from whatever the heck that was

964
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: last night. Yes, weather played a factor, but you tell me,

965
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: consistency and the lack of it was the difference in

966
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: this game between the two sides. Tough loss, tough night,

967
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: tough morning. There was the stuff that nightmares are made of.

968
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it really was let's just let's accept some

969
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: things first before we start to adjust and start the healing.

970
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,760
Speaker 1: This idea that in twenty twenty one, a Bill Belichick

971
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: team without Tom Brady is coming into Buffalo in primetime

972
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 1: and just coming in and doing what they want, that's

973
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:37,399
Speaker 1: really frustrating. That's terrifying, nightmare fuel. But you know, I've

974
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 1: had a few hours to think about this, because we

975
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: started seven am this morning. We talked about the show

976
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: off the top, and now I'm coming down a little bit.

977
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,399
Speaker 1: You know that moment when you have to hangover where

978
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: you think it starts to clear a little bit and

979
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: you start to get a little bit of clarity. After

980
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: a few hours, I'm there. That was not the AFC

981
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: title game. That was not a playoff game. And you know,

982
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: I was saying this morning, as a coach or as

983
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,840
Speaker 1: a player, what's frustrating about that loss is like what

984
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: do you point to to fix? Like, what is our

985
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 1: solution to this problem. It's not like, well, our game

986
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: plan was off or we just made a couple of

987
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 1: huge mistakes. It was just the Bills are tough, the

988
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 1: Patriots were tougher. However, I don't think the season is over.

989
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that the next time they played the Patriots,

990
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 1: or the next time they play anybody, it will be

991
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 1: in conditions that dictate forty six runs. I just don't

992
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: think it's gonna happen. I think that was a really

993
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 1: tough night. You can go one of two ways. The

994
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: season's over, it's done the Patriots on us again, when

995
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: when when we don't have it? Or I don't know.

996
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: I saw the Bucks hit a real low point last

997
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 1: year or two on their way to a super Bowl.

998
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: They still accomplish all their goals after being embarrassed on

999
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: national television by the Bears. It happened, you can look

1000
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: it up. I'm not saying it wasn't a tough night,

1001
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:49,439
Speaker 1: but I'm getting to that point now where I'm turning

1002
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,240
Speaker 1: in the corner and saying that's that's for WIMPs sitting

1003
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: here crying hours about it. In weeks out, there's still

1004
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 1: a lot of football will be played. Yeah, and it's

1005
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: interesting as well that the Bills come in and it's

1006
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 1: a it's very typical all of what we've seen with

1007
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 1: and that's why it's so frustrating too. We've seen this

1008
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 1: so many times. The Bills fumble a ball away in

1009
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: going in on the thirty yard line, they drop passes,

1010
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 1: they miss a field goal late that gives him a

1011
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,879
Speaker 1: chance for an easy field goal to win it. There's

1012
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 1: drop passes, there's you know, thing after thing after thing

1013
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: that gets listed. And and the Patriots had one bad

1014
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: thing at the punt blue round of the wind. It

1015
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: hit the guy's helmet. That's the only bad thing that

1016
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: happened to them all night. So you kind of look like,

1017
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 1: why are they the only team in the league when

1018
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 1: you finish a game like that you can't point to

1019
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 1: anything that they did wrong. It's really it really is

1020
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 1: a testament to the way they run their organization and

1021
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 1: how well you have to play to beat them. And

1022
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 1: the Bills just didn't do that last night. Now, and

1023
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 1: the question is can they do it again? And I

1024
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 1: know they're get a shot. Look, guys, we talked about

1025
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: this all season and everyone we played it this morning too.

1026
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: The Mica and the player sound after the game about

1027
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: where you embarrassed and it got really contentious, and you know,

1028
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: they walked out and words were exchanged. To me, that

1029
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: was about more than that game last night. You know,

1030
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: that was about the Colts game. That was about the

1031
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 1: Titans game, and that's about all these things that they've

1032
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 1: heard and that we've talked about. Frankly, I think fairly

1033
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:13,240
Speaker 1: and objectively that these really physical running games are scary

1034
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:15,280
Speaker 1: for the Bills. And I don't think the players are scared.

1035
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,879
Speaker 1: I'm scared watching them. Those guys are tough, those guys

1036
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,879
Speaker 1: are proud, but my god, Like, it's been some tough

1037
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 1: days against the run. And you know this idea that

1038
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: you're supposed to embody your city or adapt to the

1039
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: conditions around you. We had Kurt Warner on this morning

1040
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 1: and we're joking about, like do the Bills need a dome?

1041
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,320
Speaker 1: Because they got a great quarterback and some great receivers,

1042
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 1: and like the whole running game thing that they're supposed

1043
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 1: to be doing there in Western New York isn't really happening.

1044
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 1: So it's very frustrating to watch because I just don't

1045
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 1: know if that's how they're made up as a team.

1046
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: And if you did put this Bills team in a dome,

1047
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: that they might be better, But it dome's not coming right.

1048
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: And that leads to me to buy next question, Kyle,

1049
00:56:53,160 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 1: which is is there a potential philosophical disconnect here because

1050
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: we hear coach McDermott last night when he's asked about

1051
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: the run game saying that identity is forged in training camp.

1052
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: We worked on it. Then he was asked if it

1053
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: can be fixed now he says, we're gonna try our

1054
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: darnedist but it's very hard to do that. Is it

1055
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: time to just lay that down and put it on

1056
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: the side and say, Josh Allen's our best player, He's

1057
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: our best way to reclaim success in some way, shape

1058
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: or form, with some measure of consistency. We got to

1059
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: go back to what we were in twenty twenty, which

1060
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: is the hell with running the ball. We got to

1061
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: throw it all over the yard if we want to

1062
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: win week to week. I think the I think. What

1063
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 1: I like about that Brownie is that I think it

1064
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 1: can work. What I don't like is I don't think

1065
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: you can win the whole thing like that. You know

1066
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: like and this Bill's team is not in the business

1067
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: of winning a division around game or a wildcard game.

1068
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: That's a bitter disappointment if they do that. So that's

1069
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: the problem here. It's these suffocating stakes and expectations about

1070
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: anything other than a trip to the Super Bowl and

1071
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: winning it is this huge disappointment. Yeah, they say, screw it,

1072
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: enough of this. We're not gonna do the Breta thing.

1073
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:06,919
Speaker 1: We're not gonna do single Arry and Mossy. We're gonna

1074
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: throw sixty times a game because Josh is that good.

1075
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 1: I don't know are they winning in the playoffs like that,

1076
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: because they're probably gonna see the same team they saw

1077
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: last night. It's probably gonna be in Fox Bro. It's

1078
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: probably gonna be cold, like they're gonna have to address

1079
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: this thing. They're gonna have to die by it. There

1080
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 1: is no I just don't think there's it's either in

1081
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: their fabric or in the realm of probability or possibility

1082
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 1: that they win just to becoming the greatest show on turf.

1083
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 1: Because they're not on turf. It's not gonna happen. Yeah,

1084
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 1: I just wonder. I just wonder if three, are you

1085
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get the playoffs the way they're

1086
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 1: playing like this, because you may have to go back

1087
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 1: to that just to get in, is what I'm thinking

1088
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 1: at this point. That's the scary thing. I think. Look,

1089
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: here's here's the so what I got the bucks next week? Right? Yeah,

1090
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: on the road. You know what I mean. They're gonna

1091
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 1: slam four Net up the middle, slam them, and they're

1092
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 1: gonna bring in Ronald Jones, Like those guys can run

1093
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:00,080
Speaker 1: for all the Brady and all the receivers they have.

1094
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 1: Like as you've been watching the last month or so

1095
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: of the Bucks, like four Nette is becoming a star

1096
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 1: and they're running the hell out of them. So it's like,

1097
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 1: I guess it's a good opportunity. It's to correct it.

1098
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 1: And I thought it was interesting that Micah said after

1099
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 1: the game to the to the reporter who he took

1100
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:16,919
Speaker 1: exception with, like I'm gonna remember that and I'm gonna

1101
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 1: focus on this and Okay, great, that sounds great. Be

1102
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 1: motivated being angry, But my god, can we can we

1103
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 1: make some tackles closer to the line of scrimmage. I'm

1104
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: not ready to say they're not gonna they're gonna miss

1105
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs yet, but are they gonna win this game

1106
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 1: next week? Like if you were a gambling man, are

1107
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 1: you betting on the Buffalo Bills to win this game?

1108
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 1: It's probably not. And I'm not gonna blow smoke. I

1109
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 1: never do that on this show. I never do that

1110
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:40,920
Speaker 1: on Twitter. And Bills fans get pissed off. Oh you're

1111
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 1: jumping off the bandwagon. Guys, are you watching the games

1112
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 1: like they're not that good right now? So the last

1113
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 1: thing I'm gonna do is bs you and say you're fine.

1114
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 1: Things aren't fine. Let's try to fix them. Yeah, and

1115
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 1: this seems to be a team, particularly in this with

1116
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: the state of where their defense is. It's you know, statistically,

1117
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: you can say what you want. Yeah, they gave up

1118
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: fourteen points and all that, so not giving up too

1119
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 1: many points. But the sip, the fact of the matter

1120
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 1: is this is a team that has to hit on

1121
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 1: all cylinders. Last night, if the Bills score another touchdown

1122
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: or miss make the field goal at the end, they

1123
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 1: got a chance to win it, or they forced the

1124
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. Listen, you can't run it every down

1125
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 1: or you're not gonna keep up with us. So it's

1126
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 1: as much about the offense scoring points and keeping it

1127
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 1: out of the you know, keeping the Patriots a little

1128
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 1: bit desperate to stay in it than they were last night.

1129
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 1: At any point after you know, you break off one

1130
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: big run and all of a sudden, now your offense

1131
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 1: has to catch up. They do it, but they can't

1132
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 1: take the lead. So this is a team where, yeah,

1133
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 1: as good as they are, they got to be hitting

1134
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: better everywhere to win games like they did last night.

1135
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 1: They haven't won really any one score games all year

1136
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 1: that I can think of. Oh, they're owing four and

1137
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 1: they've lost those four games by seventeen points. And what

1138
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 1: does it come back to? Consistency? You're not gonna be consistent.

1139
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,439
Speaker 1: You're not gonna win the tight ones and seventy games

1140
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 1: in this league. Or decided to buy seven points or less.

1141
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: So it's a recipe for disaster. Yeah. So the thing is, Kyle,

1142
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: how you know they if they do play consistently on

1143
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 1: one side of the ball, what do you think this

1144
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 1: team looks like at its best? And it's best that

1145
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 1: they look like they look on Thanksgiving? You know, it's

1146
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 1: a show. But look that that game was in a dome. Ironically,

1147
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 1: it looks great. They're going around at seventy two degrees,

1148
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 1: going up and down the field. I just they're not

1149
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 1: good enough right now to beat great teams unless they

1150
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 1: play almost perfect. And like that Brita fumble was not

1151
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 1: only bad, it was really strange. And we had this

1152
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 1: advantage of we're watching Peyton and Eli talk about it,

1153
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 1: and they didn't even know what he was doing, and

1154
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 1: it was this weird thing where on your first day

1155
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 1: of Pop Warner Football, they teach you how to take

1156
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 1: a handoff with the forearms up, and for some reason,

1157
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 1: Breeda grabbed for it and it was just a bad fumble,

1158
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 1: and you're like, well, they can't do that against this team.

1159
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 1: The Patriots are too good right now, and I just

1160
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 1: they can't make that mistake. The unbeat ability, if you

1161
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: want to call it invincibility that they had a year ago,

1162
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 1: is nowhere in the building right now, and it's almost

1163
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 1: like they have to play perfect to beat some of

1164
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: these big dogs. And that's too much. Where do you

1165
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 1: the AFC races, you know, is a schmazzel in the

1166
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 1: conference and the Bills now have five conference losses. I

1167
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:12,959
Speaker 1: don't need to tell you that the second tiebreaker after

1168
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: overall record and head to head is conference record. They

1169
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 1: only got two more They able to have two more

1170
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: conference games, Kyle. The best they can do in the

1171
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 1: conference is seven and five. And I realize a lot

1172
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 1: of these other AFC teams in the hunt or in

1173
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 1: the playoff picture are going to be playing each other.

1174
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: I know the AFC North plays each other, the FC

1175
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 1: West teams are gonna be playing each other, and they're

1176
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 1: gonna be knocking each other off and you know, ruining

1177
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 1: some conference records there. But this is not a good

1178
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: place to be standing at five and five in the

1179
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 1: conference when you're already looking up at the division leader.

1180
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 1: So if the division is out of the picture and

1181
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 1: you're just going strictly on wildcard, I realize there's three

1182
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 1: now three births to be had, but the tiebreaker situation

1183
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 1: is not looking good right now, with little opportunity left

1184
01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 1: to improve it. It's not and they likely won't. If

1185
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm looking for optimism here, I'm looking at if there

1186
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 1: was ever a year to get in as a wild

1187
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 1: card and make the run in the AFC. This looks

1188
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 1: like a great year because there's so many middling teams

1189
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 1: that are going to be in. There's so many teams

1190
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 1: that are going to be first timer is happy to

1191
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 1: be there, the Bengals types, who knows, maybe the Chargers types.

1192
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: I don't trust those teams at all, Even after last night.

1193
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:27,920
Speaker 1: I still trust Buffalo more than a lot of those teams.

1194
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 1: It's just gonna come down to your old friends, New

1195
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: England and Kansas City. But this is not one of

1196
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 1: these years where there's a fourteen and two Tom Brady

1197
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 1: team or something like that that is just the proverbial juggernaut.

1198
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be positive as much as I can

1199
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 1: this morning. Yeah, I really am. I think I need

1200
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,440
Speaker 1: an MRI I lower back of how bad I'm bending

1201
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: over to try to be positive. I just can't sit

1202
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: here and say they suck. They suck, they suck. They don't.

1203
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 1: They have really good players in this team. They just

1204
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: don't have a really good record right now. Damn said this,

1205
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 1: I say this during the show. I mean, it's a

1206
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 1: soul crushing loss, but it's not season crushing, but it's

1207
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: a crusher for Bills fans. There's a lot wrapped up

1208
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 1: in this, a lot more that outside the lines, and

1209
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 1: it's interesting to hear, you know, how people react to it.

1210
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 1: But this is one of those years too where at

1211
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 1: this point the Bills hold the seventh playoff spot. But

1212
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 1: it's musical chairs. There's three eight and four teams and

1213
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 1: three seven and five teams and a seven and six team.

1214
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:21,439
Speaker 1: It's musical chairs, and you know how it is, there's

1215
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 1: always one less chair than there is, teams that feel

1216
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:26,440
Speaker 1: like they deserve to be in you know, the bills

1217
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 1: like today and another week could be the team standing

1218
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 1: there that who's a playoff caliber team and a lot

1219
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 1: of respects in a lot of ways, but gets left out.

1220
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 1: And that's really the fear, and it starts to it

1221
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 1: starts to hang out in the back of your mind.

1222
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 1: What do you think is how many teams you think

1223
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 1: there will be at the end of this and we

1224
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:45,880
Speaker 1: see a ton of them now we've been talking about

1225
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: it all year. What's it gonna look like at the

1226
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 1: last week when somebody gets shut out? It's rough and

1227
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 1: musical chairs is a low key violing game. I don't

1228
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 1: even know guys even play musical chairs in school anymore.

1229
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 1: It might be one of those things encouraged. It gets

1230
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 1: really like red Rover, Red Rover, come on over as

1231
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 1: just clotheslining kids and the musical chatting is violent. So

1232
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: I think it actually is really appropriate steam for this

1233
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 1: year's AFC, because someone's gonna think they have the chair

1234
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 1: and they're gonna get blasted into next week by someone nuts.

1235
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 1: You know. Look, I'm still and I'm on record many

1236
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 1: places I wanted to be here too. I'm never counting

1237
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 1: out the Pittsburgh Steelers ever, right, And everybody did it

1238
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 1: last week, And last week was the Ben Roethlisberger funeral,

1239
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 1: and it's on to the next thing. And now it's

1240
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 1: about Burrow and Lamar. No. I will never count them out.

1241
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 1: I don't care what happens. And the Bills know what

1242
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 1: the Steelers are capable of, and right now, T J.

1243
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 1: Watt is probably the best football player in the entire league.

1244
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 1: So they're gonna have a say in this thing. Everyone's

1245
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 1: gonna have a say in it. And I'm thinking about

1246
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 1: what you were saying about it's not it's so crushing,

1247
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:53,959
Speaker 1: but it's not season ending. You know this. Bill's team

1248
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 1: has been so consistent in the media, so resolute, and

1249
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 1: we're not saying anything business business business. And I think

1250
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 1: last night after the game, they finally had enough. And

1251
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 1: I already talked about the two safeties who had just

1252
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 1: said screw this. I'm not answering this question. I thought

1253
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 1: McDermott's answered to the Belichick stuff was really interesting about like, look,

1254
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 1: let's not say this is Bill Belichick's masterpiece. I'm putting

1255
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 1: words in his mouth. But that was the subtext. These

1256
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 1: guys have been really, really buttoned up with the media,

1257
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 1: and I think a loss through the Patriots at home

1258
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 1: like as as a tendency to unbutton you. So look,

1259
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 1: let's go now. Now we got to play the World champs,

1260
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: and now we got a place they can play the

1261
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 1: quarterback who tormented us for twenty years. Let's see what

1262
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 1: the team is made of. Musical chairs, went out with

1263
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 1: steel jungle gyms and metal slides, so you don't see

1264
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 1: those on the arts and wonder. Yeah lord, oh yeah,

1265
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 1: I miss that game. Come on now, yeah, that's wrong

1266
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:48,440
Speaker 1: with that. Have a few beers throw a spear in

1267
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 1: the air around the yard party. It's fine it They

1268
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:54,919
Speaker 1: don't even a metal horseshoes anymore. What the hell's wrong

1269
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 1: with this country? We're getting soft? Uh? Yeah. I was

1270
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 1: in the postgame medio room. Kyle sat next to the

1271
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,960
Speaker 1: person who asked the question, and I think, in fairness,

1272
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 1: it was an overarching season body of work question, like

1273
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:14,080
Speaker 1: is this embarrassing? I think Mica unfortunately took it as

1274
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 1: a question directed squarely at the defense, and that's why

1275
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:20,440
Speaker 1: he and Jordan Poy are like, dude, we gave up

1276
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 1: fourteen points, like we should have. I mean, that's a

1277
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: pretty good effort, you know, rushing yards aside. And how

1278
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 1: many times have we seen in New England give up

1279
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 1: a ton of yards but then only give up thirteen

1280
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 1: points and win a football game. So it comes back

1281
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 1: to the offense. And I don't know where they go

1282
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: from here, Kyle, because fixing it's not going to be

1283
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,600
Speaker 1: easy this late in the season. You are what you are,

1284
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: and so the roadmap is murky. And so I don't

1285
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 1: know what you do with the last five games, especially

1286
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 1: when only two of them are AFC games. This is

1287
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,760
Speaker 1: the last one that I've got for you. But you

1288
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 1: want to be the best crystal ball guy you can be,

1289
01:07:56,920 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 1: and tell me, tell me truthfully. I know you still

1290
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 1: believe in this team, but I don't see how they're

1291
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:08,960
Speaker 1: more than a wild card team right now. I don't see.

1292
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 1: So I don't think so either, Like, but I guess

1293
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 1: my point is, so be a wild card team, all right?

1294
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 1: Like's no. One's goal was to finish with the best

1295
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 1: regular season record, just like I never thought it was

1296
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 1: that interesting to have Josh Ellen win MVP. It's fine

1297
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:23,920
Speaker 1: if you want to. It's about winning the Super Bowl.

1298
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 1: And I actually like in a way, in a roundabout

1299
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:29,800
Speaker 1: way that they're not playing I don't know the New

1300
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 1: York Giants next week or some also ran like let's

1301
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 1: let's go. If you have it's like speak now or forever,

1302
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 1: hold your piece, give me something against Tampa. It's not

1303
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:40,519
Speaker 1: gonna be snowing, it's not gonna be forty mile an

1304
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 1: hour wins. It's just gonna be you guys in them.

1305
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 1: And what was supposed to be like some sort of

1306
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:47,040
Speaker 1: super Bowl preview. So show it to me, let's see

1307
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:49,280
Speaker 1: what you got, and then maybe if they get clock

1308
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:51,719
Speaker 1: next week, maybe it's time to start changing the conversation.

1309
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 1: But I'm not doing it yet. They were my super

1310
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 1: Bowl pick to begin I still hadn't think they have

1311
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: that ability. It's just been a while, all right, So

1312
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 1: we need a prediction from him. What away from the

1313
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Book game? Way early, go ahead? All right,

1314
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:07,639
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about this. You guys know that I've said

1315
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:09,639
Speaker 1: this for a couple of years. My favorite Buffalo Bill

1316
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: is Dawson Knox, who did not have one for his

1317
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:16,360
Speaker 1: real last night. Um, I think Dawson Knox is going

1318
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:18,680
Speaker 1: to catch a game winning touchdown passed in the back

1319
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:20,720
Speaker 1: of the end zone and they're gonna win twenty one

1320
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 1: to twenty against the Tampa Bay buccant. Okay, wow, it's

1321
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 1: a Knox for the win in the final minute, and

1322
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:29,400
Speaker 1: we are cruising and we are all right, and we

1323
01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:31,640
Speaker 1: are on headed home on the final stretch. And if

1324
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 1: they do that for nine straight weeks, they will have

1325
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 1: exchanged wins for losses nine weeks in a row. There

1326
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 1: you go, Brownie, that's it. I mean, they're due. They're

1327
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:43,640
Speaker 1: due based on the last two months, they're due. So

1328
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:47,640
Speaker 1: Kyles changed now instead of yah now, we're now just

1329
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:50,559
Speaker 1: just try and keep keep the That'll be the most

1330
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 1: consistently inconsistent season in a long time. Steve, it's not.

1331
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 1: It's so crushing. It's not season ending. There's a game

1332
01:09:57,520 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 1: next week and they're gonna win a twenty one to twenty.

1333
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:01,640
Speaker 1: All right, Kyle, thanks as always for the time. We

1334
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 1: appreciate it. We'll catch up with you next week. Next week,

1335
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 1: let's have a party, let's be happy, and maybe we'll

1336
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,679
Speaker 1: get a Ross Tucker in personation next week too. We'll

1337
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 1: see if that can happen. Also, yes, let's do that.

1338
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:18,120
Speaker 1: Take it. Kyle Brand joining us here on one Bill

1339
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:21,640
Speaker 1: Slid as he does every Tuesday. I needed that. I

1340
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 1: needed a few laughs. And I miss metal jungle gyms

1341
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 1: and metal slides. They're so much faster than plastic ones.

1342
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:30,560
Speaker 1: I can't even describe it to you. You know the

1343
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:32,719
Speaker 1: guy that we follow, you and I both follow on Twitter,

1344
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 1: Super seventy Sports. He's always tweeting pictures of jungle gyms.

1345
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 1: Remember that metal spin thing that you used to try

1346
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 1: to whip as fast as your kid to have kids

1347
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:43,840
Speaker 1: fly off this tripetal force and being supervised by an

1348
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 1: adult while you were doing that meant that they were

1349
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 1: standing somewhere on the properties with a cigarette. They're smoking

1350
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:50,800
Speaker 1: a lung yard over by the by the by the

1351
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:54,600
Speaker 1: emergency door to make sure nobody escapes the playground confines

1352
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:56,200
Speaker 1: that was the only thing they were concerned about. No

1353
01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:58,360
Speaker 1: one run away to split your head open on a

1354
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 1: metal on a metal jungle gym. Oh, well yeah they were.

1355
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 1: They didn't even have They weren't even facing the darn

1356
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 1: thing while you were out there just standing out the Yeah,

1357
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 1: it's great, but that's uh, it's really true that this

1358
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 1: this loss and as Kyle said, you know it and

1359
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 1: the question of people are asking and I guess I

1360
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:18,479
Speaker 1: guess was Jerry, that's at um. You know, whether it's embarrassing,

1361
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 1: The players don't as me as I don't think like that.

1362
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:25,120
Speaker 1: You know, you think about you know how they just

1363
01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 1: never it's never that game. It's never an embarrassment to

1364
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:30,760
Speaker 1: lose to a good team, and particularly a team that

1365
01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:33,840
Speaker 1: you lose to by one one point. So yeah, and

1366
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 1: I get where the where the anger came from. But

1367
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 1: in the in the momentum, you're angry at yourself, You're

1368
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 1: you're you're angry that you lost a game where you

1369
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:46,280
Speaker 1: had so many chances to win it. Uh, embarrassing, No,

1370
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:49,560
Speaker 1: I think that, And I think that the reason embarrassing

1371
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:52,000
Speaker 1: was used was because the Patriots came out on the

1372
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:55,800
Speaker 1: field and said, we're one dimensional tonight, try and stop it.

1373
01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:58,759
Speaker 1: And they could. Now, there's a lot of things baked

1374
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 1: into why they couldn't stop it. There were mistackles, there

1375
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 1: was an offense that on the other side of the ball,

1376
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 1: for you could not put points on the board themselves

1377
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:10,719
Speaker 1: to change the complexion of the game and maybe force

1378
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: New England to throw it a little bit. So there's

1379
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff baked into the whole thing. But yeah,

1380
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:19,800
Speaker 1: I mean when the other team comes out and says,

1381
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 1: this is what we're doing for forty six to the

1382
01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:24,560
Speaker 1: next forty nine plays, see if you can stop it,

1383
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:27,479
Speaker 1: and for the most part you cannot. I mean, they

1384
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:30,639
Speaker 1: got stops, There were third down stops, they forced some punts,

1385
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 1: They got a big three and out after the offense

1386
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:36,519
Speaker 1: failed on one drive and missed a field goal. They

1387
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 1: get a three and out there in the fourth quarter,

1388
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 1: give the ball back to their team with three minutes left.

1389
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:43,240
Speaker 1: Here you go, guys, and the offense still doesn't do it.

1390
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:47,040
Speaker 1: But I think the overarching question of is this embarrassing?

1391
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 1: The magnitude of the game, what happened in the game,

1392
01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 1: how it unfolded. They were more mistake free than you

1393
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:57,000
Speaker 1: were in a giant division tilt. It's got to be

1394
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,639
Speaker 1: a little embarrassing on your home field in prime time

1395
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 1: of a national audience. No, I think it's embarrassing for

1396
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:05,479
Speaker 1: people like you and me and fans because we had,

1397
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, people going there talking like we talked and

1398
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 1: thinking like we think and how big it was. And

1399
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:12,759
Speaker 1: then to have them do that with a rookie quarterback

1400
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:14,680
Speaker 1: who they obviously didn't want to put the ball in

1401
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 1: the hands of your defense, gave up two touchdowns or

1402
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 1: two field goals and a touchdown. Oh, I'm not let

1403
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:22,280
Speaker 1: me be frank, I'm not putting this game on the

1404
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 1: defense at all. Well, I'm really they gave up fourteen points.

1405
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 1: And in again, in this league, if your defense gives

1406
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:32,519
Speaker 1: up fourteen points, you should be winning probably eight to

1407
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:35,479
Speaker 1: nine times out of ten. Absolutely should be. And they

1408
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:37,640
Speaker 1: had the chance to do that last night, and h

1409
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:40,000
Speaker 1: and nobody else could get it done, and they couldn't

1410
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: get any help. Certainly, now, certainly you can go back

1411
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:44,320
Speaker 1: and look. And when you go back and look at

1412
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:46,040
Speaker 1: this and everybody will forget that there were forty mile

1413
01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 1: an hour wins and stuff like that. As as the

1414
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 1: years go passed, and you're thinking, well, how they do

1415
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 1: that with just three you know, trying to throw football

1416
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:57,800
Speaker 1: three times? Unatta, you gotta get them out of that.

1417
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:00,040
Speaker 1: You gotta get him out of that, and they and

1418
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:03,599
Speaker 1: they couldn't play complimentary football. Break time for us here

1419
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 1: when we come back. More of your thoughts on the

1420
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:07,920
Speaker 1: tweet cheet coming up next year on One Bills Live,

1421
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:22,680
Speaker 1: presented by collid to Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All Right,

1422
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:25,439
Speaker 1: Welcome back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

1423
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 1: with you time for a little around the locker room,

1424
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 1: presented by connect Life, your blood and organ donor and Network.

1425
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:37,719
Speaker 1: We begin with Josh Allen, who was asked a number

1426
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:40,880
Speaker 1: of questions, including what he feels the state of the

1427
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 1: team is now following this Monday night football loss to

1428
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:50,679
Speaker 1: the Patriots, And Yeah, I think, frankly, we're We're pissed

1429
01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:52,760
Speaker 1: off because we want to be great. We're pissed off

1430
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:55,799
Speaker 1: for greatness, and we expect so much about out of ourselves,

1431
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:59,639
Speaker 1: and when we don't play the way we know how

1432
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 1: we can play, it could be angering at times. But again,

1433
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:06,600
Speaker 1: with the makeup of the guys that we got, you

1434
01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 1: know I've got I've got no doubt in our ability,

1435
01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 1: in our team ability to turn this around and start

1436
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:15,439
Speaker 1: winning games here towards the end of the season. Yeah,

1437
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:17,640
Speaker 1: I mean I even asked him a question. You know,

1438
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:20,559
Speaker 1: this is stacking wins time. You told your teammates after

1439
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:23,400
Speaker 1: you guys went on Thanksgiving, Hey, it's tided to start

1440
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:27,400
Speaker 1: stacking some wins. Knowing you got six left. You're in

1441
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:31,000
Speaker 1: the middle of an AFC playoff race. You're looking up

1442
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 1: at your division nemesis, the Patriots, and you get to

1443
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 1: play them this week. So yeah, he was bitterly disappointed

1444
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:45,240
Speaker 1: there at the table last night, for sure. Yeah, yeah,

1445
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:47,759
Speaker 1: there was. That was a tough loss for the players.

1446
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,439
Speaker 1: Certainly the fans have felt it because there was so much.

1447
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 1: They poured so much of themselves into all of this

1448
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 1: this week, This was this was a massive game. We've

1449
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 1: been We talked about it all last week about how

1450
01:15:57,080 --> 01:16:00,200
Speaker 1: massive it was, and certainly even today it's not act

1451
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:06,040
Speaker 1: breaking for their season, but it's gut wrenching and that's

1452
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 1: what you kind of have to deal with and post

1453
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:10,200
Speaker 1: game and these guys now will probably even today will

1454
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 1: come in and why even today now at this hour

1455
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 1: the afternoon, they've watched the film and kind of got

1456
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 1: that digested what happened their own each guy's individual plays

1457
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 1: that he would like to have back, that he did well,

1458
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:24,400
Speaker 1: that he didn't do well, what went wrong, why they

1459
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:27,080
Speaker 1: did this, all of those things. They'll digest it and

1460
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:28,840
Speaker 1: they'll turn the page. They're ready to go. They got

1461
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 1: to think about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers now and they're

1462
01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:33,679
Speaker 1: gonna start thinking about playing better for those guys. They'll

1463
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 1: start thinking about what today the coaches are gonna The

1464
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:39,760
Speaker 1: coaches will start to implement the game plan and start

1465
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 1: to put that together, and they'll get their hands on

1466
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:44,920
Speaker 1: it tomorrow, where you know, we'll probably start to turn

1467
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:46,599
Speaker 1: the page on this show too and start thinking about

1468
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:49,840
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Yeah. So it's but it's it takes a

1469
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:53,720
Speaker 1: while to flush a game like this, and you don't

1470
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:56,960
Speaker 1: do it until you've actually seen the film and gotten

1471
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 1: a look from a from a sky view a sky,

1472
01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:02,600
Speaker 1: a bird's eye, you of how you played individually, and

1473
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:04,719
Speaker 1: then heard the other guys talk about how they played.

1474
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:07,120
Speaker 1: Now you can kind of start to step aside of it.

1475
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:11,439
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott asked a number of questions after the game

1476
01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:14,599
Speaker 1: as well. He was very direct with some of his answers,

1477
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:18,640
Speaker 1: including his take on some of the missed opportunities in

1478
01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 1: last night's game, particularly in the red zone. Listen, I

1479
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:25,960
Speaker 1: thought there were moments right where our defense did some

1480
01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:28,200
Speaker 1: good things. I think we had three or four or

1481
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:29,800
Speaker 1: four I think it was four, three and ounce, But

1482
01:17:30,120 --> 01:17:32,280
Speaker 1: we had opportunities, however you want to spend. We had

1483
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 1: opportunities to win the game. When you're down the red

1484
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:39,040
Speaker 1: zone four times, you were won for four and your

1485
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 1: average starting field positions basically you're forty. That's an issue

1486
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 1: were you taken with He mentioned it more than once.

1487
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:54,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo special teams units won the field position battle and

1488
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 1: the hidden yardage on a night where weather was a

1489
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:00,679
Speaker 1: major issue in the game. Winning that in the yardage

1490
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 1: one would think would prove very beneficial to the outcome

1491
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:07,560
Speaker 1: of the game. And they were playing a team that

1492
01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 1: since week seven Steve had the best average drive start

1493
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:14,000
Speaker 1: in the league for their offense and the best opponents

1494
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:16,240
Speaker 1: average drive start for their defense. It was like an

1495
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:20,040
Speaker 1: eleven point two yard differential between Theirs and their opponents

1496
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:22,720
Speaker 1: since week seven, number one in the league, and the

1497
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 1: Bills special teams units beat him in that category handily

1498
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:30,080
Speaker 1: by seventeen yards. The Bills special teams unit was aided

1499
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 1: two by the fact that the Bills made some first downs,

1500
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:35,320
Speaker 1: particularly in the second half and going against the wind,

1501
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 1: particularly in the fourth quarter where they got two drives

1502
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:41,479
Speaker 1: down in the red zone and you know, couldn't they

1503
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:44,960
Speaker 1: couldn't cash in, but that field position was huge. Certainly,

1504
01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:47,599
Speaker 1: the Patriots got the one like what seventy two yard

1505
01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:50,640
Speaker 1: punt the Patriot guy hit when it rolled into the

1506
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:53,360
Speaker 1: roll for thirty yards. That's what you're gonna get once

1507
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 1: in a while. But he, you know, averaged out because

1508
01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 1: he kicked two of them sideways. Going against the wind,

1509
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 1: I thought Matt Hawk had probably his best day as

1510
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:07,320
Speaker 1: a Bill yesterday punting the football against the wind. He

1511
01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 1: drove it out of there really well, turned it over

1512
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 1: and spiral it and made the guy feel it. Got

1513
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:14,640
Speaker 1: one that was mishandled that turned into the setup for

1514
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:17,720
Speaker 1: the Bills only touchdown. Yeah, you're right. I thought the

1515
01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 1: kicking game was on point yesterday, and I thought the

1516
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:23,920
Speaker 1: Bills and offense and the kicking game kind of played

1517
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 1: in concert to help the Bills defense give the Patriots

1518
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:30,360
Speaker 1: along field offensively. So yeah, I will say that. I'll

1519
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:32,439
Speaker 1: go I'll say that as well. The field position battle

1520
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:35,680
Speaker 1: certainly was one, but the kicking battle and you know,

1521
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:38,280
Speaker 1: the field goals and stuff like that. Certainly going with

1522
01:19:38,439 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 1: the wind was a different story than going into the

1523
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:45,080
Speaker 1: scoreboard in Coach was also asked the all too familiar

1524
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:48,640
Speaker 1: question at this point in the season about the physicality

1525
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:52,479
Speaker 1: of his team. He has said publicly and undoubtedly in

1526
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 1: meeting rooms that they have to be more physical at

1527
01:19:56,160 --> 01:20:01,880
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage in games, and again their defensive

1528
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 1: front had trouble winning there on a consistent basis. They

1529
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 1: got some stops. I mean, we should not dismiss the

1530
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:11,519
Speaker 1: fact that the Bill's defense had nine tackles for loss

1531
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:15,040
Speaker 1: in this game. So that's nine out of forty six runs.

1532
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 1: I mean that's one out every five pretty much twenty

1533
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:22,080
Speaker 1: percent of the runs went for loss. So it's not

1534
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 1: like the defense was completely run over. But people look

1535
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:27,080
Speaker 1: at the big yardage number at the end and say,

1536
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 1: are they being physical enough at the line of scrimmage.

1537
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:33,639
Speaker 1: Here is coach McDermott's take on that, Yeah, not good enough.

1538
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 1: We've gotta be able to run the football and we

1539
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:37,960
Speaker 1: gotta able to stop the run, and those things don't change.

1540
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:42,280
Speaker 1: The message hasn't changed in terms of physicality and the

1541
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:45,439
Speaker 1: necessity for physicality and what we do. That's why we

1542
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:48,240
Speaker 1: start training camp the way we do with running the football,

1543
01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:50,479
Speaker 1: and you gotta win the lot of scrimmage and their

1544
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:53,240
Speaker 1: average there's backs average I think five point whatever and

1545
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:56,759
Speaker 1: our backs average three point three point one or whatever.

1546
01:20:56,880 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 1: So not good enough, not good enough, no, h simpler

1547
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:07,360
Speaker 1: way to put it. And you know when you're in

1548
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:11,040
Speaker 1: these games that are tight and one score affairs. I mean,

1549
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:13,920
Speaker 1: you say what you will about the defense, Steve, they

1550
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 1: kept it a one score game pretty much wire to wire.

1551
01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 1: It was a one score game wire to wire, which

1552
01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:23,920
Speaker 1: you know was aided by the weather on you know,

1553
01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 1: no question, Yeah, that writing factor in the whole thing

1554
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:31,400
Speaker 1: was the weather. But if your offense makes three plays,

1555
01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:37,759
Speaker 1: you're either winning it or you're right there. And if

1556
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:39,360
Speaker 1: you at the end you make one play and you

1557
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:41,080
Speaker 1: win it. I mean that's how close the game was

1558
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:44,720
Speaker 1: the entire way, and either Bills could not get it done.

1559
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:47,639
Speaker 1: The field position battle was. The Bills did a nice

1560
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,840
Speaker 1: job in the defense played. You got to say the

1561
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:54,280
Speaker 1: defense played well. They gave up fourteen points, two field

1562
01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:57,280
Speaker 1: goals in a touchdown. Certainly you say, wow, they gave

1563
01:21:57,320 --> 01:21:59,519
Speaker 1: a well, you know what, yards don't get you beat.

1564
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:03,519
Speaker 1: The clock and the scoreboard get you beat. The Bills

1565
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 1: had plenty of both, you know, the Bills had plenty

1566
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:08,400
Speaker 1: of time. They had two drives in the fourth quarter.

1567
01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:09,880
Speaker 1: They got down to the red zone. They couldn't convert

1568
01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:11,720
Speaker 1: either one, the one with the missfield goal that would

1569
01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:14,080
Speaker 1: have set yup for a game winner. The second one

1570
01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:16,920
Speaker 1: they couldn't get it into the end zone and went backwards. So,

1571
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:20,160
Speaker 1: you know, and they and the defense. Between the first

1572
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:22,880
Speaker 1: missfield goal and the next drive, they had the defense

1573
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:26,479
Speaker 1: boom three and out and the defense showed up, and

1574
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, you could say it wasn't spectacular. Yeah, you're right,

1575
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:31,240
Speaker 1: and they they ran all well, you know what, it

1576
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:34,280
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what it looks like. Ask the Patriots. Well,

1577
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:36,599
Speaker 1: and I'll pose this to you to take another Patriots

1578
01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:39,960
Speaker 1: reference out of this game. People are going to criticize

1579
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 1: the defense for how many rushing yards they gave up.

1580
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 1: How many times have we seen the Patriots give up

1581
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:48,040
Speaker 1: yards by the bushel? Yeah, but once you get in

1582
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:50,639
Speaker 1: the red zone, they stop you. That's where they win

1583
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 1: the football game. Yeah, that's really what the Bills defense

1584
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:56,080
Speaker 1: did last night. They gave up yards, they didn't give

1585
01:22:56,160 --> 01:23:00,000
Speaker 1: up points. Yeah the Patriots. Yeah, the Patriots couldn't get

1586
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:02,000
Speaker 1: in the end zone. And really, you think about it,

1587
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:04,840
Speaker 1: when they put their drives together, the win was the factor.

1588
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:06,679
Speaker 1: It gave them a chance to get the two field

1589
01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:09,639
Speaker 1: goals that that uh, you know, gave him the lead

1590
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 1: and subsequent game winning points. If that was if that,

1591
01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:16,439
Speaker 1: you know, if those are reversed, or the coin flip,

1592
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:18,000
Speaker 1: or they're going in the wrong direction, or they don't

1593
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 1: move the football as well as they did with the win.

1594
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:22,439
Speaker 1: Get their guy a chance. You know, that's a different

1595
01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 1: game that um no question it'll get lost. Is this

1596
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:28,560
Speaker 1: game gets further into history. You go look back and

1597
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:30,720
Speaker 1: you just look at the numbers that the game came

1598
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:33,720
Speaker 1: out as, Like, you know, forty mile hour wins was rough.

1599
01:23:34,439 --> 01:23:36,600
Speaker 1: It was rough, and it changed the entire not just

1600
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:38,200
Speaker 1: for the Bills either. I mean, I don't want to

1601
01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:41,639
Speaker 1: get like two myopic here where need to use your word,

1602
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:43,920
Speaker 1: where we're just focusing on the team. It would have

1603
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 1: changed things for the Patriots as well. But that was

1604
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:50,400
Speaker 1: the factor in how this game played out, with a

1605
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:53,400
Speaker 1: run game for the Patriots and the passing game and

1606
01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:55,519
Speaker 1: the and the effectiveness in the red zone for the Bills.

1607
01:23:56,479 --> 01:24:00,720
Speaker 1: Mitch Morris addressed where they have to go from here?

1608
01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:05,280
Speaker 1: This is again another week in which they've exchanged or

1609
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:09,080
Speaker 1: alternated between wins and losses. They've now done it in

1610
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:12,280
Speaker 1: each of their last eight games. Win lose, win, lose, win, lose,

1611
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:16,320
Speaker 1: win lose. Where do they go from here? Here's Mitch

1612
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:22,639
Speaker 1: Morse on that subject. I mean, it's the familiar topic

1613
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:25,800
Speaker 1: of shooting ourselves in the foot at an opportune times.

1614
01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:28,160
Speaker 1: There's no opportune time to shoot yourself in the foot.

1615
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:30,560
Speaker 1: We just seem to tend to do it at the

1616
01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 1: absolute worst time. So for us, like Dawson said, there's

1617
01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:37,639
Speaker 1: no no finger pointing or nothing. Yet. The only fingerpointing

1618
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:40,920
Speaker 1: can do is inwards. And I think if you asked

1619
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:43,760
Speaker 1: everyone on this team, there's plenty that they could have

1620
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:46,880
Speaker 1: done to you know, come out with a win which

1621
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:50,360
Speaker 1: we which we didn't do, and uh, you know, we'll

1622
01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:53,040
Speaker 1: we'll learn, like every loss, will learn from a lot

1623
01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:58,320
Speaker 1: of these mistakes and go from there. Right. Unfortunately, that's

1624
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:02,479
Speaker 1: a that's a comment that the more Bills fans hear

1625
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 1: it after losses, I think it begins to ring hollow

1626
01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 1: until they see results that look different. Yeah, that's what

1627
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:12,760
Speaker 1: That's what rubs Bills fans the wrong way when they

1628
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:14,840
Speaker 1: hear that time and time and time again. But the

1629
01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 1: results seemingly don't change. The frustrating part of it for

1630
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 1: Bills fans. And I get it, I mean, but it's

1631
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:24,120
Speaker 1: just the reality of the NFL. You're gonna have the

1632
01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:27,160
Speaker 1: same virtually the same roster going into Tampa Bay that

1633
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:28,559
Speaker 1: you have this week and you're gonna have it going

1634
01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:30,040
Speaker 1: the rest of the season, just like you've had it

1635
01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:32,760
Speaker 1: for the last month and a half. You're gonna work

1636
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:35,439
Speaker 1: with what you've got and to make wholesale changes. You

1637
01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:37,879
Speaker 1: need different players. If you want guys to play differently,

1638
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:42,599
Speaker 1: most notably, you need different players. That's not going to change.

1639
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:44,400
Speaker 1: This is a team that the coaching staff has a

1640
01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:47,960
Speaker 1: lot of faith in. They have not played as consistently

1641
01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 1: enough to win games. They've been up and down, particularly

1642
01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:54,479
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball. We've we've pointed

1643
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:57,400
Speaker 1: to the issues up front for them. A lot of

1644
01:25:57,439 --> 01:26:00,400
Speaker 1: people are focusing on the run defense. I'm having a

1645
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:02,320
Speaker 1: hard time getting there today. I get it. He gave

1646
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:03,639
Speaker 1: up a lot of run. They only had to throw

1647
01:26:03,680 --> 01:26:07,320
Speaker 1: the football three times in the entire game, you know,

1648
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 1: because you know they could move the football. They weren't.

1649
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:12,720
Speaker 1: But the Patriots weren't trying to score points. They're just

1650
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:15,760
Speaker 1: trying to shorten the game. Um, you can say, well,

1651
01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 1: if they you know, and they knew if they put

1652
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:19,680
Speaker 1: the ball in the air against this team, that they

1653
01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:21,599
Speaker 1: they're putting it in harms away, particularly in the win

1654
01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:24,200
Speaker 1: like that. Um, there's a lot in there, and I

1655
01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:26,320
Speaker 1: just I just think that if you want this team

1656
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:31,880
Speaker 1: to play differently, Um, they are who they are right now,

1657
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:34,680
Speaker 1: and that sounds horrific. Now in the game, they oh

1658
01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:36,920
Speaker 1: they got beat by it. They're good enough to win,

1659
01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 1: to beat anybody in the league if they play well.

1660
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:42,519
Speaker 1: But they haven't played well yet and certainly haven't played

1661
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:45,320
Speaker 1: consistently enough yet for us to have faith in the

1662
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:48,200
Speaker 1: fact that they can do it. I don't the coaching staff.

1663
01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:50,320
Speaker 1: They may change a player here there we're getting you know,

1664
01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:52,519

1665
01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 1: save the Running Game. You know, I doubt it. I

1666
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:57,920
Speaker 1: doubt it. I mean they may try it, but I

1667
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 1: Matt Brita has not saved the Running Game, So I

1668
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:04,439
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you got you gotta play to

1669
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:08,000

1670
01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 1: But if you don't make mistakes, you're gonna win more

1671
01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:11,600
Speaker 1: games than you lose. And the Bills have made just

1672
01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:13,760
Speaker 1: too many mistakes. All right. That's around the locker room

1680
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:53,800

Speaker 1: now six and zero as head coach of the Patriots

1682
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:02,360
Speaker 1: in divisional games where both teams entered within one game

1683
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:05,200
Speaker 1: of the division lead. So whether they were the team

1684
01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:08,280
Speaker 1: in second place or they were playing a second place

1685

Speaker 1: on Opening Day or something. I mean, because they'd be
