Then it 13 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: is like a high comes up with it for the Bills. 14 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: The snap, Josh waits to throw us going straight down 15 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: the middle, cat touchdown, dots and knocks touchdown Buffalo, his 16 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: second touchdown of the game.

No signal yet? Yes, touchdown. That 19 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,839 Speaker 1: took him an hour and a half.

Welcome to a Buffalo football 39 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: victory Monday. As the Bills are on to the divisional 40 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: playoff round. After they're dominating what do we calling that 41 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: perfect performance against the New England Patriots. The demons have 42 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: been vanquished, The narrative has been squashed. It is all over, 43 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: ding dong. The witch is dead. Take your Patriots scar 44 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: tissue and throw it out the window or whatever opening 45 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,119 Speaker 1: you have. Get rid of it. Brush it off your shoulders. 46 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: It's gone twenty years. If angst is gone, think about 47 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: the career that Steph digs his head since he became 48 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: a Buffalo Bill. They're three and one against those guys. Yeah, 49 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: and the loss was like the forty mile an hour 50 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: win game that they you know, couldn't. I mean, and 51 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: not only that, the wins have been crushing for The 52 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: Patriots had double digits going away thirty three to twenty one, 53 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: forty seven to seventeen in the wild card round of 54 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Like you're not even in the count. You're 55 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: not even in the count, you're not even in the 56 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: strated beat him in a playoff game thirty and the 57 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: and the Bills. It was awful. I said this on 58 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: the broadcast. It's awful. I said this. I said it 59 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: was awful for the Patriots. Yeah. I said this on 60 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: the broadcast when Dawson Knox catches his second touchdown in 61 00:03:53,720 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: the first quarter. Yeah, the Patriots were like, you could 62 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: was very reminiscent of the Dolphins in Week seventeen. That's right. 63 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: Last year. They almost looked like the same thing checked out. 64 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: And I know they I know they like mac Jones 65 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: and he's got some he's got some spunk, and you know, 66 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: he didn't play badly. He might have been the best 67 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: player on the field. He played pretty well for them. 68 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: But they didn't have any faith that they were coming 69 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: back from fourteen points down against the Bills defense in 70 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: that game. And then and the Patriot defense showed it 71 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: showed the lack of faith in their office, I think, 72 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: and that and then Josh in this offense shifted gears 73 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: and hit the gas. I mean, they were like, let's 74 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: go that game. The Bills never punted, They never faced 75 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: a fourth down. They converted every single third down they 76 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: did face, except the last one where they knelt down 77 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: to end the game. They didn't punt. They haven't punted 78 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: in two games. In their last two games against the Patriots, 79 00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: they've gone eighteen consecutive drives without punting Rush eighteen crushing them. 80 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: It's like it's like the Patriots showed up to a 81 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: drag race with a go cart and the Bills had 82 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: a ferrari. So listen. So all right, so you get 83 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,119 Speaker 1: the weekend comes and everything, Chiefs win, We're going Bills 84 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: are going to Kansas City, six pm on thirty kick 85 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: on Sunday night. So and I would say this, of 86 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: the seven teams in the playoffs and a couple of 87 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: teams that had a chance to get to the AFC 88 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: side of the bracket that didn't, like Indianapolis and LA 89 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:39,119 Speaker 1: the Chargers, of the eight or nine teams we're talking about, 90 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: the Bills are the team that are gonna walk into 91 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: Kansas City thinking we got a shot at this. Let's 92 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: go the Chiefs. The Bills are gonna walk in there 93 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: and almost at a year exactly to the day they 94 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: got put out of the playoffs by that same team, 95 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: coming off the game they just put up there against 96 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: the Patriots with a defense that's markedly better than it 97 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: was a year ago. Now, I'm not saying it's gonna 98 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: be like it was against the Patriots, No way. This 99 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: is gonna be a game where you gotta score to 100 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: keep up with those guys. But the Bills are the 101 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: only team in the AFC side of the bracket that 102 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: you think they they got it, they got they got 103 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: this in the tank to beat these guys. And looking 104 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: at looking at it from the other side of the bracket, 105 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: how happy are the Titans and the Bengals? I mean, 106 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: going into the playoffs, a lot of people may have 107 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: been of the opinion, Man, you gotta possibly beat the 108 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: Bills and the Chiefs just to get to the Super Bowl. 109 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: Now you only got to face one of those teams. 110 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: Right if you're on the other side of the Pratt, 111 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: if you're Tennessee, everything happens, you're waying your way. And 112 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: I'll say this too, the Cincinnati game could and Tennessee 113 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: game could go either way. Cincinnati can score there, They've 114 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: got some guys. If and of course we all know, 115 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: if Cincinnati beats Tennessee and the Bills beat Kansas City, 116 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: there's a home game in Buffalo a week from Sunday, 117 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: the FC title Game. Uh, I get ahead of ourselves, 118 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: There isn't it, But yes, that possibility most certainly exists. Cincinnati, 119 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: maybe without a couple of key defensive players, including Trey Hendrickson, 120 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: their best pass rusher, got nicked up in the game, 121 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: So we'll have to keep an eye on that because 122 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: that will play heavily into their matchup with the Titans 123 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: at the end of the week. And as excited as 124 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: we all know, as happy as everybody was for the 125 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: players and the coaches who have put so much time 126 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: into making this season what they hope it can be, 127 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: that was twenty years of angst getting thrown out of 128 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: the stadium on Saturday night for every fan that was 129 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: in attendance watching on television, that has endured the last 130 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: twenty years at the mercy of the Patriots. There was 131 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: a small part of me when it was I think 132 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: it was thirty seven, whatever, it was, thirty nine to 133 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: ten or something. I wanted it to be fifty six 134 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: to ten because I remember the two thousand and seven 135 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: game on Sunday Night in Buffalo when Randy Moss had 136 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: eight catches for one hundred and forty yards and four 137 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: touchdowns in the first half. I remember those days, and 138 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: that's why I said on this show last week, I 139 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: want the Bills to beat them into oblivion. I want 140 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: the narrative to be effectively changed forever that this is 141 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: no longer the Patriots Division. Last year was not a 142 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: one off. It's over. Just like Herb Brooks said in 143 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: the USA locker room before they went out to face 144 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: the Russians, their time is over. This is your time, 145 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: now go out there and take it. And they did. 146 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,119 Speaker 1: They go big ups to the Bills, just fantastic performance 147 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: start to finish, front to back. There was no doubt 148 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: they are the class of this division going forward. There is. 149 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: There is no arguing and even though there are some 150 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: New England broadcasters still arguing, Yeah, you can't. It's unbelievable. 151 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: You can't even tell you can't talk them off for 152 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: the time it was. It's all. If it was about 153 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: any other subject other than football, you'd be it would 154 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: be sad. Their delusion because of their Yeah, their denial 155 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: is unbelievable. The Bills aren't great. They didn't know they 156 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: didn't beat anybody great there, They just they didn't beat 157 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: anybody great. What does that make you if you have 158 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: to beat by thirty by thirty, Yeah, you haven't made 159 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: him punt in two games. But they're But the Bills 160 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: aren't a good I mean, it was comical to see. 161 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: But uh you yeah, okay, two extra points and I'll 162 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: say this, you didn't know this. The first one got blocked, 163 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: so did the second one tipped? They both got tipped. 164 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: The ones that bast missed any drinked one off and 165 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: end on the third one. But that was up front. 166 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: Bass didn't miss those kicks. They were both tipped. Even 167 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: the one that didn't look like he got tipped got tipped. 168 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: Um So they had two of them that were blocked. 169 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: That's an issue going forward. You can't let that happen. 170 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: But that's well, that's a you know, that's not even 171 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: a paint hip on this game. Well on the you know, 172 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: I mean, that's not even um So, the only thing 173 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: it would have been, how about this, this would have 174 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: been I would where would your mind have been? Had 175 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 1: they made those two extra points and going in a 176 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: halftime is twenty eight three, Like it wasn't a super Bowl. 177 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: People would have been they would have been they would 178 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: have been rubbing, rubbing their lucky charms. Yeah, they would 179 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: have been different teams. And I'll tell you what, Bronk 180 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: no Edelman. You know, none of those guys are a fact. 181 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: They wouldn't have helped the two extra points for the 182 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: Bills would not have helped the Patriots though they would not. Um. Yeah, 183 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: and so for me, as as dominating a performance as 184 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: it was, I left. I left the stadium happy for 185 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: Bills fans because that was such a cathartic experience for 186 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: everybody that was there. Um, you saw, Steve, I mean 187 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: you were on the side lines doing the game for 188 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: National Radio. You saw how many people stayed after the 189 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: game was over. I commented on it during a broadcast 190 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: on Westwood One, like two two and a half, three 191 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: minutes to go, thirty point difference. Yeah, I'm looking around 192 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: in zero degrees. The corners are full. Nobody's leaving, no nobody. 193 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: Everybody wanted to soak up every single second they could 194 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: have that. And even after the clock hit triple zeros, 195 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 1: people hung around an extra five ten minutes. They just 196 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: they did not want to forget what that scene looked like. 197 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: They wanted to experience it for as long as they 198 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: possibly could. Players were doing you know, high five and 199 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: fans around the front row of the stadium. You know, 200 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: Josh took a lap, Harris and Phillips was running around, 201 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: you know, high five and people. I think the most. 202 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: I think what hap to be the most the thing 203 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: that fans most appreciate about that victory is the players 204 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: recognize how much it meant to the fans, even if, 205 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: as you said earlier, guys have only been here a 206 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: couple of years. Stefon Diggs for example, he played his 207 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: whole first year here without fans. Yeah, other players that 208 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: haven't been here super long. You know, all the draft picks, 209 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: you know, even at Oliver.

I thought was great to have that awareness 213 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: as a player, with all that you're responsible for, with 214 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: all the time you have to put in to do 215 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: your job right on a day when it counts the most, 216 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: to recognize that in the aftermath, Good on the players, man, 217 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: Good on the players for having that awareness to the 218 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: significance of the moment and what it meant a fan. 219 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it was great.

Well, and that's 270 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: the thing. Like that only raises the bar of expectations 271 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: now and I will and before we go any further, 272 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: here Twitter conversation today for you to get involved at 273 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: eight three, five fifty what did you learn from the 274 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: Bills following this dramatic Wild Card playoff performance and victory 275 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: over the Patriots. You can hit us up at eight 276 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight eight fifty or on the tweet 277 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: sheet at one Bills Live. What I took out of 278 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: the game was the Bills have saved their best football 279 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: for the postseason. There are some that argued last year 280 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: the Bills may have peaked too early. They have the 281 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: dramatic Hill Mary loss to Arizona and it galvanizes the 282 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: team in a way that I don't know if anybody expected, 283 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: and they rip off six consecutive wins. But that happened 284 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: in early November, mid November, and they had to go 285 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: they run out the string, go six straight wins. Then 286 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: they get to the playoffs and it's like Diggs wasn't 287 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: one hundred percent, Beasley was playing on a crack bone 288 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: in his leg, and they lost something, just not a lot, 289 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: but just a little bit little juice they lost. Yeah, 290 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: and in the playoffs, when you're playing the best of 291 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: the best, it makes a difference. And we saw them 292 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: sweat it out against the Colts. They played well, but 293 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 1: they sweated it out at the end. And then and 294 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: their defense essentially carries the day against the Ravens and 295 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: they get to the AFC title game, and as Steve 296 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: has said many times, the team was talented enough to 297 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: play with the Chiefs. They just didn't play their best 298 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 1: game on that day and they end up being two 299 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: touchdowns down when the clock strikes triple zero. I think 300 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: this Bills team is playing their best football at the 301 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: right time. And it's perfect too, because they they're getting 302 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,479 Speaker 1: the team they got to play like that against right now. 303 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: I mean, they are the Cincinnati Bengals and the and 304 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans apart. This team is the one they've been. 305 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: You've been, you've had, you've built yourself to play and beat. Yeah, 306 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 1: the Chiefs have been on your dartboard all year. So 307 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: here you are and you finally back their atom and 308 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: you get at a time when you are you do 309 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: have something left in the tank, and you you're healthy 310 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: and you're focused, and you've got all your guys and 311 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: here we go. That's the thing about it is they're 312 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: they're peaking at a time when they really need to 313 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: write at the right moment, and that's that's critical. Yes, 314 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: And in no way am I trying to take anything 315 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: away from what the Bills accomplished on Saturday night. It 316 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: was a clinic in every sense of the word, in 317 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: all three phases. But what Saturday night also told me 318 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: was the Patriots defense is old number one. And then 319 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: for those players that are not old, they were tired. 320 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: This was a very This team on defense looked exhausted. 321 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: They looked like they had played twenty regular season games, 322 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: not seventeen. And I don't know the reason for that. 323 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: But what I do know is here in Buffalo, the 324 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: sports science department and the strength and conditioning staff goes 325 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:59,919 Speaker 1: a long way to incorporate load management into the workload 326 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 1: the players take on from week one to week eighteen, 327 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 1: and it is monitored with a microscope. You see veteran 328 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: rest days on the injury report every single week, probably 329 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: since week two. This veteran player gets a day off 330 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: the week. This veteran player gets a day off every 331 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: single week. Stefan Diz gets Friday off every single week. 332 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley gets a day a week, Jerry Hughes gets 333 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: a day a week, Mario Addison. And you come to 334 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,959 Speaker 1: the end of the season, and you get to the playoffs, 335 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: and in a wildcard playoff game, Buffalo to a man 336 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: doesn't look one gear faster Steve two and three. In 337 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 1: some cases, they were playing at a completely different speed 338 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: than the Patriots could muster in that game. And I'm 339 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: not ready to say the Patriots don't do that or whatever, 340 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: but that's what it looked like that to me. I 341 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: don't know what the Patriots may have been, you know, 342 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: in laying on cots all week. I don't know, get 343 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: trying to rest, I don't know what. But they looked slow, tired, 344 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: and apathetic. Yeah they did. They looked like they looked exhausted, tired, 345 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: and like they'd had enough of the same. And I'm 346 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: telling you, Steve and You can probably speak better to 347 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,239 Speaker 1: this than I can, because you've been through sixteen game 348 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: regular season schedules. You were a team that went to 349 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: the playoffs for six straight seasons. You guys, over the 350 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: course of those five years, arguably played five seasons in 351 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: four with all the playoff games you guys played, and 352 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,239 Speaker 1: we had a couple of times we had we had 353 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: a Hall of Hall of Fame and an American Bowl. Yeah, 354 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: so you can relate to this, and I want to 355 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 1: get your take on this because I think it's important 356 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: to bring to this conversation with respect to the game 357 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: on Saturday from Week thirteen, when everybody that watched that 358 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: game would agree that, yes, the weather conditions played a 359 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: giant factor in the outcome of the fourteen to ten 360 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: loss to the Patriots. The Patriots were the more physical team. 361 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: They were the team that brought more intensity to the 362 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and to the game as a whole. 363 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: Not to say that the Bills weren't trying, Not to 364 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: say that the Bills didn't bring effort. We're not saying anything. 365 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: They just had a little bit more juice than the 366 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: Bills did on that night in those conditions, and it 367 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: was enough to win a football game by four points. 368 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: Five weeks later, five weeks later, the Patriots don't even 369 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: look like the Patriots, like, not even close, Steve. I 370 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 1: had to go back to the league rankings to convince 371 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 1: myself that New England had the fourth best defense in 372 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 1: football and were second only to the Bills in points allowed. 373 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: That was not who we saw on Saturday, not even close. 374 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to take anything away from 375 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: the building. No, And that's why I prefaced these remarks 376 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: with that very same man ole Man. The Bills made 377 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: those guys look like jokers. The Bills made those guys 378 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: look like like you know, all the social media, all 379 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: the Patriot fans that are out on social media. They 380 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,360 Speaker 1: made him look like the New York Jets. They looked off. 381 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 1: They didn't look like the same team to me. And 382 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: I don't know what it was. And I'll say this, 383 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: and I said it earlier. When Dawson Knox caught that 384 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: second touchdown in the first quarter, the Patriots were done. 385 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: Their defense walked off like it was over. First quarter over. 386 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: And I don't know why that is. I don't know 387 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: why that is. Here's it. So I just want to 388 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: throw some interesting numbers at everybody. The Patriots are now 389 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: oh in six this season when they have allowed twenty 390 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: five points or more in a game. The Bills have 391 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: scored twenty five points or more in fourteen games now 392 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 1: counting this past weekend's playoff game. That is the most 393 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: in the NFL. The Patriots over the last four regular 394 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: season games giving up twenty five point eight points per game. 395 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: And this was the number two scoring defense in football. 396 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: The bottom fell out somewhere and they didn't rebuild the subfloor. 397 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. This team just flat out 398 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: ran out of gas. As far as I see it, 399 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: they're missing and not only that, Steve. I mean, we 400 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: were talking about this last Friday before we talked to 401 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: Greg Coseell. You and I watched some tape of the 402 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: Patriots Dolphins game from Week eighteen, the last regular season 403 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: game for the Patriots, which they lost to the Dolphins 404 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: down in Miami. I'm watching the opening drive for Miami. 405 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: They're going right down the field on them. They're in 406 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: the red zone and they bring Jalen Waddle right to 407 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,160 Speaker 1: left in motion across the formation. Their slot receiver, the rookie, 408 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: and they've got the tight end. Gisicki already out there 409 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 1: on the left side of the formation, detached on the 410 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: defense's right. The Patriots have Kyle Vanoy, mccordy, and j C. Jackson, 411 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: arguably three of their best veteran defenders. Jalen Waddle comes 412 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: across in motion, ball gets snapped, two is in the shotgun. 413 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: Gisicky runs up the seam. Vanoy passes him off to 414 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: mccordy and to Jackson. Jackson for some reason, follows Gasicky inside. 415 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: Vannoy is covering the flat. In case Twa runs out 416 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: and scrambles, he lets Jalen Waddle go buy him. They 417 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: leave Jalen Waddle alone. The leading receiver on the Miami 418 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: Dolphins goes Scott free into the end zone and Twa 419 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: hits him with a touchdown pass. Nobody's within five yards 420 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: of him when he catches the ball. Mental errors that 421 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: you don't see from a Belichick coach team, especially in December. 422 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: You think maybe as a groupment the Patriots, we have 423 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: been so good for so long, and maybe I was 424 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: part of this team too. When that team you know 425 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: before team, Yeah, the the team that had all the 426 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: like twenty two of the guys on the team had 427 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: been to four straight Super Bowls, and you get to 428 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,959 Speaker 1: the you get to the end of the season, and 429 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: you know, you just you just don't have that kind 430 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: of team anymore. And I think there's maybe some of 431 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: the older veteran guys on the Patriots are sitting over there, 432 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: going we got no shot at going to the This 433 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 1: team does not have what it takes talent wise or 434 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: execution wise to get to the to get to the post, 435 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: to get to the postseason, or maybe at the postseason, 436 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: but not to the Super Bowl. We have no shot 437 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: at getting that far. So you know what, let's just 438 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: let's just get this game over with and go home. 439 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: And I think it sounds from it looked to me 440 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: like that's exactly the mentality they brought into the game. 441 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 1: Win right. And Maddie and I were talking about this 442 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: on the pregame show Bills Field Pass, which we streamed 443 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: before the game, show players warming up on the field, 444 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: you know, getting ready for the game. Every week, we 445 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: were talking about whether we were debating the subject of 446 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: does how you finished the regular season carry into the playoffs, 447 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: you know, your last four games, because the Bills had 448 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: won four in a row. The Patriots had gone one 449 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: in three. Does it mean anything going into the postseason 450 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: and talking to a lot of fans leading up to 451 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: this game this week, they were still very wary. Well, 452 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: you know, the Patriots are struggling down the stretch here, 453 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: but you know it's Belichick. It's the postseason. Time to prepare. 454 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: He knows this team. You know, they ran the gamut 455 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: people that were genuinely concerned about this matchup. Even though 456 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: the Bills come screaming into the playoffs, their defense is 457 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: playing the best it's played all year. They have a 458 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 1: pass rush now, and the run game is off the 459 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: chain for them. It's performing the best that it has 460 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: all season. People were still worried, and I was. As 461 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: I got closer and closer to the end of the week. 462 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 1: You know, I said, up, Bill's got this one, twenty 463 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: eight thirteen. They're gonna win by two scores. I even 464 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: said it on Bill's field pass. Kyle Brandt was far 465 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: ahead of us on Tuesday. He was saying thirty one 466 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: thirteen Bills the Tuesday before the game, And I know 467 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: by the time we got to kick off, Steve, you 468 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: and I were in the same place. We thought the 469 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: Bills would win this game handily, especially after we found 470 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: out they were going to be without some key defensive backs, 471 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: including Jalen Mills, one of their starting corners, and that 472 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: Kyle Dugger was going to be playing with a club 473 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: on his hand, I mean, and they were gonna be 474 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: playing without their left tackle on offense and Isaiah Win. 475 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: So we felt really good about the game. But Steve, 476 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 1: you look at this the Patriots, as I said, last 477 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: four weeks of the regular season, giving up twenty five 478 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: point eight points per game over the last four games 479 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: of the regular season. It is the most by a 480 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 1: Belichick coach team all time ever. Yeah, they were they 481 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: were not They were in a bad place and there 482 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: was no digging out of it. Defensively, Yes, that's a 483 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: that's the shocking thing. Yeah, because he always you know, 484 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: because Belichick is a defensive head coach. He's always been 485 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: a he was a coordinator for all those years, won 486 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: Super Bowls with as a defensive coordinator, and it just 487 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: They're deep. Defense has always been good. That's amazing that 488 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: they just fell off the face of the earth. Then 489 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,479 Speaker 1: maybe it's a little good. I think maybe a little bit. 490 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: As the injuries in the back end of their defense, 491 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: no question. I think a little bit of it is 492 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: they couldn't compensate for anything offensively. You think, and everybody 493 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: does this because it's just the situation you find yourself 494 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 1: in with the Patriots and what's happened to them over 495 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: the years and where they're at now. They don't have 496 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: a quarterback that can make up for any of that. 497 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: You know, Brady, You think that they had drops and 498 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: Brady just you think Brady's just gonna hit passes that 499 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: mac Jones doesn't. Hey, he's gonna throw passes the mac 500 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: Jones won't throw. He's gonna make adjustments that mac Jones 501 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: won't make. And you just thought that that would just 502 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: happen with anybody. You just you just tend to think 503 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: that they're gonna compensate for it somehow. There was just 504 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: no compensating from where they're at. I just they didn't 505 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: have enough talent because of the injuries that they had 506 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: to make up for. Their defense deteriorated over the end 507 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: of the season. And you could just tell that team 508 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: right there that we saw inside night they had checked out. 509 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: They had absolutely checked out. They had nothing, nothing left 510 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: in the tank, they had nothing left to give any 511 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: coach on the sideline could have jumped up and down 512 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: and you know, carried on a temper tantrum to try 513 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: to motivate these guys. You could have slapped him across 514 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: the face. Hey, let's go, come on, what are we doing. 515 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: I don't think anything would have worked. They were just 516 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: flat out of gas. They had nothing to give. I mean, 517 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, for as productive as he has been, and 518 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: he's been great down the stretch, I love motor um, 519 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: there is no way he should have got to the 520 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: end zone on the sixteen yard touchdown, even as well 521 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: as that play was blocked. Isaiah McKenzie's out there man 522 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: handling the jac Jackson. Yeah, he's man handling jac Jackson 523 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: and even and you could see at the end of 524 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: the play if you watch the replay, Isaiah McKenzie's concerned 525 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: about getting called for holding on the block, so he 526 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: leases immediately as soon as Devin Singletary runs off his 527 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: rear end. Isaiah's disengaged. I'm not holding anybody. And J. C. 528 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: Jackson has a chance to still get the corner on 529 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: Devin Singletary and make a play, and he can't do it. 530 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: He can't do it five yards a carry on the day. 531 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that it was. It's absolutely unbelievable that 532 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: that game went like that. The amazing part as well 533 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: is the Bills were playing just fantastic. Josh was hitting it. 534 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: He's the only he's got four games and he's got 535 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: four playoff games where he's got sixty five rushing yards 536 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: on the day, sixty fifty plus rushing yards, two hundred 537 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: fifty yards pass. He probably all heard this. He's got 538 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: four games like that in the playoffs. No other quarterback 539 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: in history's got more than two. He's a super Bowl 540 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl era, and he's a unicorn. He is. 541 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: And the other some of the runs he made the 542 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,719 Speaker 1: other night, I mean Bosby, the cornerback for the Patriots. 543 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: Oh that he broke his hand. He's you know that 544 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: kid's gonna hear about that. Well, he got elevated off 545 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: the practice squad this week. They just signed him, right 546 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: And I was telling Steve before he went on the air, 547 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: that's one of the reserve corners that was playing against 548 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: the Bills in Denver last year. Here's the thing that 549 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: had to play because the injury. It'll be interesting to 550 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: see if there will be some massive roster changes there 551 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: next year, because this game kind of looked like if 552 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: you've got guys like that who are like Judon. When 553 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: Devin Singletary runs into the end zone on that sixteen 554 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: yard run you're talking about, Judon was already running off 555 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 1: the field. He's like that. He just he was off 556 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: the field like in a heartbeat. He like Devin Singletary, 557 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: hadn't even like slowed down the back of the end zone. 558 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: Judon was jogging off the field. But that like Varsity 559 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: against JV though, I mean, I mean in the same class. 560 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: That's a team that knew in its heart it was 561 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: going nowhere and just to call it quits, we have 562 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: to take a break here. We're gonna get to your 563 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: phone calls though. When we come back, Mark and West 564 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: Seneca is going to lead us off. But open line 565 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: for you at eighth three five fifty one eight eight 566 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: eight five fifty two, five fifty. What did you learn 567 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: from the Bills following their forty seven to seventeen beat 568 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: down over the Patriots. I'm gonna use that phrase as 569 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: much as possible. I am like using it because it's 570 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: the Patriots, and I will continue to do so. For 571 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: the rest of the show. Got plenty to discuss with you. 572 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: Hit us up on the tweet cheeter or give us 573 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: a call.

He called 585 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: the Tommy Doyle touchdown play predicted it, predicted it. He 586 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: went all Tony Romo on us. Very nice. So we'll 587 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: talk to him about that. Look forward to that conversation. 588 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: But the conversation we want to get into now is 589 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: with you at eight oh three oh five fifty one 590 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty the number 591 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: to get on board.

So 594 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: here we go, we lead it off as promised with 595 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: Mark in West Seneca. What do you have for us?

They couldn't have gone any better, any better. 598 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,919 Speaker 1: I'm sixty three years old. They've been a Bills fan 599 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: like most people from the day we know what a 600 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: football is, we've been Bills fans if you're born and 601 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: raised in Buffalo and some people that haven't been born 602 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: and raised here. But if I get a little corny, 603 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: I apologize because in moments like this, my chest puff 604 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,839 Speaker 1: puffs out, and I'm very, very proud to be part 605 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: of Bill's mafia in a Western New Yorker sport. I 606 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: think the owners should be made to come to a 607 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,760 Speaker 1: Bills game when the Bills are good and they see 608 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: how this community embraces that team, loves that team, and 609 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 1: how the players who with all the negative things about 610 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: full Sports, the money, that Jade's people and everything, how 611 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,320 Speaker 1: the one players record guys. It what a love fest 612 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: that can become, and what a galvanizing thing it is 613 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: through a community. And it's just just wonderful, wonderful to 614 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: see when our community comes out in force, and then 615 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: the players are there once you pull that Bill's jersey on. 616 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 1: As far as Western New Yorkers are concerned, you are 617 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 1: part of our family forever, whether or not it's one 618 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 1: game or a hundred games. We love our team, We 619 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: love our players, We respect our players, and as long 620 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,320 Speaker 1: as they give us an honest effort, we will always 621 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,320 Speaker 1: be behind them. That all being said, I just wanted 622 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 1: to openly because I think this man doesn't get appreciated 623 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: as the best word I could use enough. We spent 624 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 1: five years now that Being and McDermott have been here, 625 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: and they have literally turned our hopes and dreams around 626 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 1: of a Super Bowl in five years, and they have 627 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: we forget the depth of where the team had been 628 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: for so long, and it's almost becoming second nature. And 629 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 1: Brandon Being is a wonderful general manager and is excellent 630 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 1: at his job. But make no mistake about it, this 631 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: organization as a whole is not anywhere near close to 632 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 1: where they are now without Sean McDermott. He is a 633 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: high character, high moral individual who knows how to lead men, 634 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: is not afraid to show his love for his players, 635 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,840 Speaker 1: and it says, as long as you guys follow me 636 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,359 Speaker 1: and you put into work that I'm going to put in, 637 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: we will be successful. So Sean, I thank you openly 638 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 1: on the air as a lifelong Bills fan, and whether 639 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,760 Speaker 1: you ever bring home that Super Bowl, you will always 640 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,359 Speaker 1: be one of the one of my favorite people. Thank 641 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 1: you so much. All right, good call, Mark. A lot 642 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 1: in there, a lot to unpack, and I don't think 643 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: anybody's gonna argue with you. I mean, the job that 644 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 1: Brandon Being and Sean mcderne have done has been downright masterful, 645 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 1: and it's worked because the two men were in lockstep. 646 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: The two men are also extraordinarily talented. I mean, that's 647 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: that goes without saying. But the way that they drew 648 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: up the vision is one thing. To then follow through 649 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 1: on it and cross every t and dot every eye, 650 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:29,240 Speaker 1: it's been nothing short of remarkable. And Mark, yeah, maybe 651 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 1: some people have forgotten the depths that this team sat in, 652 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 1: you know, not very long ago. I mean, I, Steve 653 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: and I have been around here we were here from 654 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 1: front to back in the drought and even earlier before that, 655 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 1: and I can tell you there were times with the 656 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: cycling through of coaches and quarterbacks and players and free 657 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 1: agent misses and draft misques and the list goes on 658 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: and on, there were times where I wondered if they 659 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,839 Speaker 1: were ever going to climb out of the abyss that 660 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 1: they had fallen into, because it was clear to me 661 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: that there were several people that came through on this 662 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 1: pipeline that didn't have a roadmap to success. These two 663 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 1: men did. And to to live it out in reality 664 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 1: in the span of five years is pretty darn remarkable. 665 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: And credit too, Tom Terry and Kim for picking these 666 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 1: costles and then and then supporting them financially. I mean 667 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 1: they you know this the facility we sit in, and 668 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: you know the sports science crew they've got over there, 669 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: which you and I have been talking about that really 670 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 1: showed up in an enormous way in this last playoff 671 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 1: win where you've got fifty three guys that are fresh 672 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: and ready for the playoffs looking at another team that 673 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:53,280 Speaker 1: looks like they don't have anything left. So uh, kudos 674 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,359 Speaker 1: to everybody, no question, it's an easy it's an easy 675 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 1: week to do that, to spread that, spread the love around, 676 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 1: no question, but let's day that they've got work to do, 677 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:06,720 Speaker 1: even in this season. It's hard to even say this too, 678 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 1: that there's nothing to clean up. You know, it's not like, well, 679 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 1: we had left a couple of plays on the feeling 680 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,359 Speaker 1: they don't leave anything on the field. Coach thought they 681 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 1: did and what else is he again? I mean, but 682 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 1: that's the reason they are where they are, because they 683 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: have a coach and a staff that goes through this 684 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: stuff with a fine tooth comb and said, hey, Saturday night, 685 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 1: great nice job, guys, fantastic effort, great execution. We did 686 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,479 Speaker 1: everything almost to the letter. But here's our list. Here's 687 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 1: five things we got to get corrected this week. And 688 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 1: the reason why I don't have to tell you this, yeah, 689 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 1: the competition levels going up a couple of notches this week. Right, 690 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 1: And I'll say this too, and we don't have it's 691 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: not time to talk about it in this segment. Maybe 692 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 1: later in the show we'll talk about it. But you 693 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 1: got your coordinators that are turning into the hottest commodities 694 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: and the coaching carousel coming up. They both interviewed this 695 00:39:55,800 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 1: last weekend, and that's on the horizon as well. This 696 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: opportunity that you have this year, and it's you know, 697 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 1: next step up is the Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas City. 698 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 1: You can't waste it, you can't get caught up. And 699 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 1: how great this last weekend was because you got to 700 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 1: move forward and got to grow. And that's what has 701 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: gotten them to this point is that mindset that McDermott 702 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,479 Speaker 1: and Brandon Bean have displayed and preached to their whole 703 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 1: staff and the whole the whole building, not just their players, 704 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,439 Speaker 1: their coaching staff and all the other people in them 705 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,279 Speaker 1: in the building that work with this team. So they 706 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do and they got 707 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 1: to still got some things they got to get done. 708 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:40,919 Speaker 1: And you know, they've got some things chipping away this 709 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 1: week trying to get to distract him. And then they've got, 710 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 1: you know, maybe as good a team as there is 711 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,399 Speaker 1: in football coming up on the docket on Sunday.

They're under five 730 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 1: hundred on the road in the Belichick era. After that loss, 731 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 1: the Bills, yeah pretty amazing. Yeah, let's go to the 732 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,879 Speaker 1: phones to find out what you took away from that 733 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,840 Speaker 1: gigundo win over the Patriots. On Saturday night, we go 734 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: to Patrick all the way out in Idaho. Patrick, how 735 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 1: the hell are you? What do you got for us? Man? 736 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,520 Speaker 1: I am great? I was I haven't been back to 737 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 1: Buffalo for a game in a long time. I was 738 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,080 Speaker 1: at one of the open practices this summer. I want 739 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,720 Speaker 1: to give a shout out to all my people, the Tonawandah's, 740 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 1: Orchard Park, Southtown, everywhere across Western New York. Love you 741 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 1: felt you on Saturday night watching it on TV. Here 742 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,360 Speaker 1: the thing, the thing I want to take away that 743 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: I want to say about this game really was the 744 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,880 Speaker 1: Monday night game. I think was as big a disservice 745 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 1: to New England as it was anything else, because it 746 00:42:55,560 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 1: got them believing in something that they weren't about themselves. 747 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 1: And if you remember, McDermott after that game was like, 748 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 1: let's not give any more credit to the greatness of 749 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick than we need to in this game. He 750 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,759 Speaker 1: saw that we had played poorly and we had missed 751 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 1: an opportunity to win that game. And I think I 752 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: think New England win in that game. It really it 753 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 1: took a toll on them. You saw it in the 754 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 1: next three or four games that they played. I think 755 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 1: that when got people in the locker room and certainly 756 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 1: in the media proclaiming that the Patriots were something that 757 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 1: they really weren't, and they could not live up to it. 758 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,759 Speaker 1: And ultimately, when you tried to you live up to 759 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,200 Speaker 1: something that you can't live up to, you get what 760 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 1: you get with the Bills in Saturday night and winning 761 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,760 Speaker 1: by thirty points and just being completely dominant in every 762 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 1: phase of the game. I'll get off and I'll hear 763 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,839 Speaker 1: what you guys say, Go Bills. Yeah, thanks for the call, 764 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,120 Speaker 1: Patrick's that's a pretty amazing I'm glad he pointed out 765 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,720 Speaker 1: the Week thirteen game, Steve, because I remember I'm running 766 00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,400 Speaker 1: down to the postgame media room after they lose fourteen 767 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,839 Speaker 1: ten to the Patriots. Patriots are running up to their 768 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 1: visiting locker room. They are pumped, like they are jacked 769 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: and even Belichick was borderline exuberant in the locker room saying, 770 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 1: that's why wait practice out in the elements out, you know, 771 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,800 Speaker 1: and he's all jacked up. And then that team actually 772 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,480 Speaker 1: had a bye after that, so they had two weeks 773 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 1: to feel real good about themselves, and they come back 774 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:31,439 Speaker 1: and they just are not the same team and never 775 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 1: were the rest of the way. Unbelievable. Yeah, they something 776 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:40,760 Speaker 1: was missing from this this edition of the Patriots football 777 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,440 Speaker 1: team that we've seen in years past. Maybe it was 778 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Maybe it was something else, but I'm We've 779 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,480 Speaker 1: said it and I'll say it again. I'm really interested 780 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,920 Speaker 1: to see what their offseason looks like. They spent a 781 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 1: lot of money on two tight ends and two wide receivers. 782 00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 1: What the hell did jon O Smith do for them 783 00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: this year? Nothing that I at least Hunter Henry had 784 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 1: eight or nine touchdowns this year. There's production there. What 785 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,000 Speaker 1: the hell did that guy do? He spent a lot 786 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:07,960 Speaker 1: of money, spent a lot of money on those guys, 787 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,560 Speaker 1: and they just didn't I don't think it was wisely spent. 788 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:13,680 Speaker 1: Like It's easy for me to sit here and say that, 789 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,760 Speaker 1: but I think they've got massive changes coming. It seems 790 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 1: to me. I think you have to. You're not even 791 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,960 Speaker 1: in the same class as the Bills right now. I 792 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,320 Speaker 1: think Mac Jones will get better as a quarterback. I 793 00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,840 Speaker 1: don't know that he'll ever truly be elite, but he 794 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 1: showed me something on Saturday Night. I think he's going 795 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 1: to be probably a slightly above average quarterback. I think 796 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,160 Speaker 1: he's gonna be like an Andy Dalton. I think that's 797 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:36,719 Speaker 1: what he's gonna be. Like. He'll be good enough to 798 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,239 Speaker 1: get you to ten wins this season get you in 799 00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:40,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I don't think he's ever gonna be that 800 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,399 Speaker 1: guy that wins games for you. No, you can win 801 00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:47,279 Speaker 1: with him, but not because of him. Right, Josh is 802 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,360 Speaker 1: the guy you can win because Josh is your quarterback. 803 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,319 Speaker 1: You win. That's There are games like that, not all 804 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 1: of them, but there's enough in there that you can say, yeah, 805 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 1: this guy your quarterback. You're gonna win this many games 806 00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,080 Speaker 1: because that guy. Because they don't have any answer for him. 807 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,719 Speaker 1: Mac Jones, a guy be a guy, like we're gonna say, like, now, 808 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,360 Speaker 1: they didn't lose the game because of him, but they 809 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:08,799 Speaker 1: do have to have kind of a perfect storm to 810 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,719 Speaker 1: put together a winning effort with him at quarterback. So 811 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,719 Speaker 1: I'm really interested to see what happens with the New 812 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,280 Speaker 1: England Patriots this offseason. There will be wholesale changes on defense. 813 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:23,400 Speaker 1: Mccordy is probably going to retire, you know. J C. 814 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 1: Jackson is your anchor back there now with Kyle Dugger. 815 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,600 Speaker 1: Is Adrian Phillips still gonna play? He's on the wrong 816 00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:34,280 Speaker 1: side of thirty. The linebackers look like senior citizens running 817 00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,560 Speaker 1: around out there. No offense to senior citizens. I mean 818 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,759 Speaker 1: Dante Hietower's contract is up. I can't see him coming back. 819 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:46,480 Speaker 1: Juwan Bentley is painfully slow. Van Noy doesn't look Even 820 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 1: van Noy got old in a hurry. And the guys 821 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,200 Speaker 1: up front are big, plotting defensive linemen. You want to 822 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,200 Speaker 1: stuff the run, that's one thing, but you want to 823 00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 1: get where was the pass rush? Steve like. Even Juda 824 00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,239 Speaker 1: looked like a shell of himself. That's why I was saying. 825 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 1: Even the young players didn't look right in that game. 826 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,640 Speaker 1: And it's been the New England Patriots have have tweeted 827 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 1: out some some snippets from Bill Belichick. He says, Listen, 828 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,120 Speaker 1: we were certainly made a lot of improvements from where 829 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 1: we were last year. And that's true. They were not 830 00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:17,200 Speaker 1: a playoff team last year. They strugg they were, um, 831 00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,200 Speaker 1: I can't remember where they They were seven and nine, 832 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,040 Speaker 1: seven and nine, and that was a miracle that they 833 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:25,120 Speaker 1: got to seven victories with Cam Newton as their quarterback. Um, 834 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:27,719 Speaker 1: So they had some things they worked here and they 835 00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 1: did get better this year. They were a playoff team 836 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 1: this year with a rookie quarterback. There's something to be 837 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:37,320 Speaker 1: said for a team that can do that. But there's 838 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,080 Speaker 1: there's some obvious shortcomings on their roster and in their 839 00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,600 Speaker 1: team that they got to address this offseason, and it'll 840 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,799 Speaker 1: be interesting to see how they do that. Let's go 841 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 1: back to the phones and we go to Peter in Ontario, 842 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 1: next north of the border. What do you got Forest, Peter? 843 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 1: Hey guys, how are you doing? Good? Good? Real good? 844 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,799 Speaker 1: Love your show, love both you guys, got a lot 845 00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 1: of respect for both of you. Thank you. Um So, 846 00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:09,200 Speaker 1: First of all, um, Canadian Bills Mafia is alive and 847 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:14,160 Speaker 1: well and we and we are sending all good vibes 848 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:22,040 Speaker 1: down to the v low. That's great. Um, I gotta 849 00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 1: I gotta question or and and a comment and maybe 850 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,840 Speaker 1: Steve see if this has ever come come your way 851 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:32,279 Speaker 1: over the years in the heyday. Um Bill's got the 852 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:36,759 Speaker 1: last game on Sunday, so they are gonna know the 853 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:41,960 Speaker 1: results of the Sincy, Tennessee game. Is this could this 854 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:45,600 Speaker 1: be a factor? Like is this gonna be like chatter 855 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,759 Speaker 1: in the locker room saying, hey guys, if we win 856 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 1: here in case we play at home? Right? Yeah? Has 857 00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,440 Speaker 1: that ever happened to you? Steve? And and um like 858 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:03,120 Speaker 1: is this a motive another motivating device? I'll listen to 859 00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 1: what you guys got to say, certainly it could be. 860 00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:11,040 Speaker 1: I think for me it would be more of a distraction. 861 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you don't need any more you don't need 862 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,320 Speaker 1: any more stuff piled onto the to the game that 863 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,279 Speaker 1: you're gonna play on Sunday night. You don't need any 864 00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,719 Speaker 1: more pressure, or more opportunity or more all this and more. 865 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 1: You know, I just let them play, no question, it's 866 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:27,200 Speaker 1: going to be out there. And but I think if 867 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,960 Speaker 1: you know, if there's some other way to motivate your team, 868 00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:33,799 Speaker 1: or if you need something like that to do it, 869 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,640 Speaker 1: I think it kind of gets in the way of 870 00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:39,719 Speaker 1: what you've already done during the week. It's crazy as 871 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,239 Speaker 1: that sounds, you know, when you're I get what you're saying. 872 00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:43,680 Speaker 1: Think of it. You're going out to play the Kanca 873 00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,600 Speaker 1: City Chief and you find out ten minutes before you 874 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,440 Speaker 1: get out there that if you win, you're the next 875 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,400 Speaker 1: game is at home. Well. I saw a footage on 876 00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 1: NFL Films this past week Bruce arians is updating Tom 877 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,320 Speaker 1: Brady on the scores of the games in week eighteen 878 00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,879 Speaker 1: to determine what their playoff seating was going to be. Right, 879 00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,239 Speaker 1: and you know, the game was seventeen nothing and then 880 00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,120 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it was seventeen seventeen. I don't 881 00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,279 Speaker 1: even know which game he was updating him on, but 882 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,120 Speaker 1: there's a phote. There's a shot of Brady on the 883 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,239 Speaker 1: bench going, oh, like, it's seventeen seventeen now during the 884 00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:18,560 Speaker 1: Bucks game. So it happens across the league. Whether it's 885 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:20,719 Speaker 1: a distraction or not, I guess could be argued, as 886 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:25,040 Speaker 1: Steve said, But yeah, I mean, if Cincinnati beats Tennessee 887 00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:26,600 Speaker 1: and you know, you have a chance to play the 888 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,240 Speaker 1: AFC title game at home if you beat the Chiefs, 889 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,480 Speaker 1: I suppose it could throw a little extra mustard on top, 890 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:36,279 Speaker 1: and yeah, but is it good? Is it? You know? 891 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,799 Speaker 1: Is is that a good thing? In the ball? And 892 00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:41,680 Speaker 1: you don't you might not need that little bit of 893 00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:45,359 Speaker 1: extra Okay, now you know, let's really then it's hopefully not. Yeah, 894 00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:49,279 Speaker 1: then it's um, I mean, I get it, but you 895 00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,080 Speaker 1: shouldn't need that. You don't need it, and that's only 896 00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,279 Speaker 1: it's just more garbage. You gotta you gotta tune out 897 00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,600 Speaker 1: and play, you know what I'm saying. Uh, it's a 898 00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,920 Speaker 1: good thing. I mean, that's what we're all hoping for, right, 899 00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:00,680 Speaker 1: I mean, oh yeah, that's what Bill fans across the 900 00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:02,600 Speaker 1: world one. They want the game back here like it 901 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:08,279 Speaker 1: was last Saturday Night. It'll make a difference. But you know, 902 00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,200 Speaker 1: you just don't need I don't need that if I'm 903 00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,080 Speaker 1: a player walking out there, go, I don't need that guard. 904 00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,399 Speaker 1: Whether I admit it or not. It's a good thing, 905 00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:18,160 Speaker 1: no question. But does it get in your way? Yeah? 906 00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:20,799 Speaker 1: Is it too much of a good thing right in 907 00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 1: that moment? You know what I'm saying, because you're gonna have, 908 00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 1: Let's face it, that place is going to be absolutely 909 00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,239 Speaker 1: bonkers and you don't want to. You know, you end 910 00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,200 Speaker 1: up peeling yourself off the ceiling with all the stuff 911 00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,320 Speaker 1: that you got to think about while before you play, 912 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,799 Speaker 1: let alone all that. Yeah, it's a lot. It's a lot, 913 00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:39,839 Speaker 1: for sure. All Right, we gotta take a break here. 914 00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,239 Speaker 1: More of your phone calls in the second hour the show, 915 00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,319 Speaker 1: Paul and Eden, hang on.

Speaking of Martin 943 00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:37,360 Speaker 1: Luther King Junior, the NFL is adding a circular MLK 944 00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,720 Speaker 1: sticker to the back of every player's helmet for tonight's 945 00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:44,040 Speaker 1: Cardinals Rams wild Card game, which is the last remaining 946 00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,799 Speaker 1: from Super wild Card weekend. Helmet decals are also going 947 00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:51,839 Speaker 1: to feature be love or the phrase stop hay. So 948 00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,960 Speaker 1: nice little touch by the NFL. Here on Martin Luther 949 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,239 Speaker 1: King Day, we do want to get back to the 950 00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:00,239 Speaker 1: phones at eight oh three oh five fifty one eight 951 00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,720 Speaker 1: eight eight two five fifty and we go to Paul 952 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:05,839 Speaker 1: in Eden next. What do you have for us? Paul, 953 00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:09,600 Speaker 1: you're on one Bill's Live. Yeah. I just wanted to, 954 00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:14,200 Speaker 1: uh say, I love the fact that they love if 955 00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 1: they won forty seven to seventeen. But what I liked 956 00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:25,279 Speaker 1: even more was the defense gave them seventeen points so 957 00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:31,560 Speaker 1: they won't forget who beat them. Josh Allen, I get it. 958 00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:35,360 Speaker 1: I see what you did there, Paul. Yeah, and you 959 00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:39,120 Speaker 1: know they scored points largely when most of the starting 960 00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:42,480 Speaker 1: defensive players have been rotated out of the lineup m 961 00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:47,480 Speaker 1: so moving the ball with any regularity really didn't happen 962 00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:51,560 Speaker 1: until many of the starters on defense were done for 963 00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:55,360 Speaker 1: the night. So pretty impressive. I will say this steve 964 00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,520 Speaker 1: the number. And there's a ton of stats that we 965 00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:00,799 Speaker 1: can look at that came out of this game. You 966 00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,440 Speaker 1: reference the fact that Josh had more touchdown passes than 967 00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:07,560 Speaker 1: in completions, five to four, which is that's insanity all 968 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,839 Speaker 1: by itself. The number that impressed me the most. And 969 00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:16,279 Speaker 1: granted we've just finished discussing how the Bills played what 970 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:22,680 Speaker 1: looked like a pretty tired Patriots defense, just physically worn down. 971 00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:29,520 Speaker 1: Despite all that, the Bills go six for six in 972 00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:35,080 Speaker 1: the red zone against the number two ranked red zone defense. 973 00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:41,760 Speaker 1: Six for six, Yeah, that is I mean, you remember 974 00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,080 Speaker 1: we were talking about the red zone and the problems 975 00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:48,040 Speaker 1: down there not too long ago, inconsistencies down there, unable 976 00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:51,440 Speaker 1: to run it except with Josh down there, And you know, 977 00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:52,799 Speaker 1: you get to the end of the season, the Bills 978 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,040 Speaker 1: are third in the league running the ball in the 979 00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,799 Speaker 1: red zone in terms of average yards per carry. They 980 00:55:57,880 --> 00:55:59,560 Speaker 1: discover their run game in the final month of the 981 00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:01,439 Speaker 1: season and all of a sudden. They are a red 982 00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,880 Speaker 1: zone powerhouse right now. Yeah, they're tough to beat it, 983 00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,120 Speaker 1: particularly now that you know Devin Singletary powers in for 984 00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,839 Speaker 1: the run and sixteen yard touchdown and a four yard 985 00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:15,200 Speaker 1: touchdown or something like that. It was, it was impressive, 986 00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:20,920 Speaker 1: and you know, you talk about the superlatives in this game, 987 00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:25,880 Speaker 1: you know the offense, you know, the offense could not 988 00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:30,480 Speaker 1: possibly have gained another yard because every time they got 989 00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,440 Speaker 1: the ball, they drove for a touchdown the length of 990 00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:35,439 Speaker 1: the field wherever they got the ball. That's how many 991 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:41,359 Speaker 1: yards they had. Seventy eighty eighty one, eighty nine, fifty eight, 992 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,759 Speaker 1: seventy seven, thirty nine. Those are the yards covered on 993 00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:46,560 Speaker 1: all the score and the thirty nine was after the 994 00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:50,719 Speaker 1: Mica Hyde punk return. They just they couldn't have got 995 00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,920 Speaker 1: more yards. That's as much as they could, they couldn't. 996 00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,319 Speaker 1: They were just sounds funny to say they could not 997 00:56:56,480 --> 00:57:00,520 Speaker 1: possibly have gained more yards. They had a look back, 998 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,920 Speaker 1: they had the one where they they ran them the 999 00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:08,080 Speaker 1: quick screen little bubble screen, and Dawson Knox gets called 1000 00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:10,520 Speaker 1: for pass interference because he's blocking before the balls caught 1001 00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,120 Speaker 1: and he's down the field a little bit, okay, next play, boom, touchdown, 1002 00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,560 Speaker 1: take that just go away. It was like first and 1003 00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:19,760 Speaker 1: twenty boom. Emmanuel's Sanders. Emmanuel Sanders, you're gonna call a 1004 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:21,720 Speaker 1: penalty ones, so we're gonna go. Here's here's the long one. 1005 00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:23,880 Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders. We're just gonna walk off the field with 1006 00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:28,240 Speaker 1: the yards. It's it's crazy, how many the fact that 1007 00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:30,520 Speaker 1: they couldn't have gained more yards because they didn't have 1008 00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,960 Speaker 1: him the ball enough. Every time they gave, every time 1009 00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:35,800 Speaker 1: they got the ball, they got every single yard on 1010 00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,120 Speaker 1: the field that was in front of him. Six for 1011 00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:42,240 Speaker 1: six in the red zone, six for six on third down. 1012 00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:47,760 Speaker 1: They never ever faced fourth down, forget about going for it. 1013 00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:49,960 Speaker 1: Their only failed third down was the kneel down by 1014 00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:53,000 Speaker 1: Trubisky at the end, and that was a win. Yeah, 1015 00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:57,160 Speaker 1: that was for the win. Unbelievable. Some news to pass along, 1016 00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:01,120 Speaker 1: as you know over the weekend. On Sunday, Miami Dolphins 1017 00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:08,920 Speaker 1: reps flew into Buffalo under to conduct I couldn't find 1018 00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:11,960 Speaker 1: the word for a second, to conduct head coaching candidate 1019 00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,960 Speaker 1: interviews with both Brian Dable and then Leslie Frasier. They 1020 00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,000 Speaker 1: came up here to do that, so because they're in 1021 00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:20,520 Speaker 1: the midst of a playoff run. They don't have time 1022 00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,360 Speaker 1: to travel down to Miami doing a half a day 1023 00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,120 Speaker 1: interview and then fly back again, so they came up 1024 00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,800 Speaker 1: here to do the interviews with those two gentlemen. And 1025 00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:31,280 Speaker 1: now NFL Network see and Rappaport reported this morning that 1026 00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:35,200 Speaker 1: the Bears will interview Bill's defensive coordinator Leslie Frasier for 1027 00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:39,240 Speaker 1: their vacant head coaching job this Friday. It looks as 1028 00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:43,720 Speaker 1: though that is going to take place virtually, so we'll 1029 00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,040 Speaker 1: see where it goes. We'll keep our ear to the 1030 00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,920 Speaker 1: ground on this. And I will tell you there was 1031 00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:52,680 Speaker 1: a lot of murmuring in the press box during Saturday 1032 00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,800 Speaker 1: night's game, Steve. People are kind of joking tongue in cheek. 1033 00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:59,560 Speaker 1: Brian Dabele just has to show up, roll in a 1034 00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:03,480 Speaker 1: screen and hit play on the game from Saturday night 1035 00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:05,440 Speaker 1: and say, Hey, you've got any questions, just give me 1036 00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,960 Speaker 1: a call being my office getting ready for that, And yeah, 1037 00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:13,160 Speaker 1: he could have done that. It was a masterful game plan. 1038 00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,240 Speaker 1: The fact that it was executed to precision made it 1039 00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,840 Speaker 1: look even better. But what I liked most about the 1040 00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:21,200 Speaker 1: game plan, Steve, was they go to the air early 1041 00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,160 Speaker 1: on the first two scoring drives and then they come 1042 00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:28,560 Speaker 1: out in third drive ten play scoring drive Devin Singletary runs. 1043 00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:32,080 Speaker 1: It's seven of the ten times. The way they can 1044 00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:35,520 Speaker 1: switch gears. Now with this running, it really makes them 1045 00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:38,520 Speaker 1: hard to stop. Yeah, it gives them, It gives them 1046 00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,680 Speaker 1: some flexibility. They haven't had to that extent at any point. 1047 00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:48,400 Speaker 1: So yeah, it was the day Ball and Frazier have 1048 00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:53,360 Speaker 1: proven themselves to be quality NFL coordinators. And you know, 1049 00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:55,880 Speaker 1: I've spoken to day Ball a number of times in 1050 00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,680 Speaker 1: Leslie as well. Leaders. You know, these are there are 1051 00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:01,720 Speaker 1: guys that the offensive guys rally around it. They love Daves. 1052 01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:04,280 Speaker 1: I mean we've we've talked about it. We've heard Josh 1053 01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:07,320 Speaker 1: say all that stuff. And Leslie. I mean, what are 1054 01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:09,680 Speaker 1: you gonna say about Leslie Frasier. I mean, the guy's 1055 01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:11,920 Speaker 1: got a resume that goes all the way back to 1056 01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:16,480 Speaker 1: his World championship with the eighty five Bears. And you 1057 01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:21,000 Speaker 1: know this defense, oh my goodness. I mean, they're the 1058 01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,160 Speaker 1: number one defense in the league and they they got 1059 01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:24,600 Speaker 1: no pass rush. I mean you know what I mean. 1060 01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:26,920 Speaker 1: Up until the last four games of the regular season, 1061 01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:28,960 Speaker 1: their pass rush was like man, okay, it's good. You know, 1062 01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:32,480 Speaker 1: it's consistent. You know it looked good in a like, 1063 01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:34,000 Speaker 1: but you had to go deep to say, yeah, it's 1064 01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:36,040 Speaker 1: pretty good pass rush because they weren't getting a lot 1065 01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:37,920 Speaker 1: of sacks thinking a lot of Herries's thinging a lot 1066 01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,480 Speaker 1: of quarterback hits. They weren't like the Pittsburgh Steelers that 1067 01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,240 Speaker 1: are getting out you know, they're jumping out to fifty 1068 01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:44,560 Speaker 1: seven sacks on the season, that kind of thing. But 1069 01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:49,280 Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier, you know, has been a big part of 1070 01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:51,920 Speaker 1: why the team has been so successful under McDermott. So 1071 01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,600 Speaker 1: both these guys, I mean, you pull for him, no question. 1072 01:00:56,720 --> 01:01:03,480 Speaker 1: And I'd be interested to hear what teams think about 1073 01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:06,920 Speaker 1: those two guys when they get him into to interview them. 1074 01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:10,520 Speaker 1: And you and I've spoken about and I'm being offensive 1075 01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:13,800 Speaker 1: coordinator in Buffalo and the defensive coordinator in Buffalo is 1076 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:19,640 Speaker 1: not a bad gig. Yeah, And unless there's some personal connection, 1077 01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:21,960 Speaker 1: like I say, Leslie Frasier going back to Chicago where 1078 01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:23,640 Speaker 1: he won a world championship, he's part of that Grade 1079 01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:27,160 Speaker 1: eighty five Bears team. Unless you've got a personal connection 1080 01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,600 Speaker 1: with the squad back there, and maybe it's something personal 1081 01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:32,360 Speaker 1: about it say, yeah, you know what, I will take 1082 01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:35,520 Speaker 1: that job. I think we've talked a little bit about 1083 01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:38,200 Speaker 1: it at times. There's some of these coaching jobs out 1084 01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:42,120 Speaker 1: there that you get the idea that some of the 1085 01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,400 Speaker 1: candidates and some of the hot candidates are saying, you 1086 01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:49,920 Speaker 1: know what, I'd rather not offer me this job because 1087 01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:52,640 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take it. I'm not the right. You 1088 01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:54,919 Speaker 1: always say, it's not it's not you, it's me. Yeah, 1089 01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,360 Speaker 1: well whatever they say breaking up with a girlfriend, but 1090 01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:59,760 Speaker 1: it's not you, it's me. But that's that's kind of 1091 01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:02,720 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people don't realize how often 1092 01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:06,800 Speaker 1: that happens um where they just decide they're gonna give 1093 01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:08,480 Speaker 1: it to somebody, and you say, they're given the They're 1094 01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:10,920 Speaker 1: given the head coaching job to David Culley. Wasn't he 1095 01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:13,360 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks coach here a year ago? Two years ago? 1096 01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:18,520 Speaker 1: And they're like going, yeah, who is he? When you 1097 01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:20,200 Speaker 1: get down to David Cully, you get down to Dan 1098 01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,320 Speaker 1: Campbell and in Detroit, although Dan Campbell just proving he's 1099 01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:27,360 Speaker 1: a coach, it's like, why wouldn't they offer that to like, 1100 01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:32,360 Speaker 1: you know, day Ball or Frazier or one of the 1101 01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,560 Speaker 1: other hot candidates around well, the reason is they might 1102 01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,280 Speaker 1: have wanted to and the guys said no, thanks. Let's 1103 01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:39,920 Speaker 1: go back to the phones at eight o three oh 1104 01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,880 Speaker 1: five fifty and Brian on a sell is up next. 1105 01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:46,120 Speaker 1: What do you have for us? Brian? Hey, guys, how 1106 01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:48,800 Speaker 1: are you Mafia live and well below the Mason Dixon 1107 01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:52,800 Speaker 1: love it? Hey, Hugh, I mean huge Steve task fans 1108 01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:55,200 Speaker 1: to Steve first and foremost. As a pleasure to be 1109 01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:57,600 Speaker 1: on on with you today. Thank you, hey, thanks for 1110 01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:01,000 Speaker 1: being on, Thanks for calling. Hey, I got special teams questions. 1111 01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:03,480 Speaker 1: So you know we love Tyler Bass and what an 1112 01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:07,880 Speaker 1: upgrade and an investment he was and is when we 1113 01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,200 Speaker 1: moved on from Stephen Hausko a few years ago. How 1114 01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:12,120 Speaker 1: do we get him to hit the reset button moving 1115 01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,919 Speaker 1: into Kansas City. Don't worry about him. Both those kicks 1116 01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:17,600 Speaker 1: that he missed were tipped. So if you want to 1117 01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:19,200 Speaker 1: talk to him, they talk about talk to the guys 1118 01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:22,600 Speaker 1: up front. Now. The one that he missed that doinked 1119 01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,720 Speaker 1: in that went in actually off the upright. Maybe that 1120 01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:27,520 Speaker 1: was on him. Maybe he wanted to kick it a 1121 01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:29,520 Speaker 1: little bit left of the pressure they were getting because 1122 01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:31,520 Speaker 1: he had two blocked already. Maybe he said, you know what, 1123 01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:33,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit this left of center so the guy 1124 01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:38,400 Speaker 1: won't hit it again. I kind of doubt that, but yeah, 1125 01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:41,560 Speaker 1: the two kicks that were blocked weren't on bass. They 1126 01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:44,240 Speaker 1: were they were on the guys up front. So they 1127 01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:47,600 Speaker 1: got to shore that up for sure, for sure, But 1128 01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,400 Speaker 1: that wasn't I don't put that on Tyler Bass. Yeah, 1129 01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,440 Speaker 1: let's go back to the phones. We go to Andy 1130 01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:54,479 Speaker 1: in New Jersey. What do you have for us? Andy 1131 01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:59,560 Speaker 1: or on one? Bills live? I guys, how's it going? Great? Good? Um? 1132 01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:03,720 Speaker 1: Something I noticed yesterday and I'm just wondering about if 1133 01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:07,440 Speaker 1: maybe the Bills may employ this against Kansas City the 1134 01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:11,360 Speaker 1: way the forty nine ers used Deebo Samuel yesterday. I 1135 01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,919 Speaker 1: mean he was just I mean, he was just out 1136 01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:17,040 Speaker 1: of his mind. And when I think about what they 1137 01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:21,720 Speaker 1: did with Isaiah McKenzie is something I think maybe the 1138 01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:25,240 Speaker 1: Bills could they possibly do that just to give the 1139 01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:27,640 Speaker 1: Kansas City something, you know, to chief, something else to 1140 01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:31,000 Speaker 1: think about, because right now Motor is going, he's great, 1141 01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:34,680 Speaker 1: But I mean Isaiah McKenzie. They had a couple of 1142 01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,720 Speaker 1: really good runs also in that game against the Patriots. Yeah, 1143 01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,360 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking they possibly do that to give Kansas 1144 01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:44,200 Speaker 1: City another wrinkle. Well, I mean, as you mentioned Dandy, 1145 01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:46,360 Speaker 1: they did some of that in the game. He had 1146 01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,280 Speaker 1: a few carries and with great success. They also threw 1147 01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,680 Speaker 1: him a swing pass that got him out on the edge. 1148 01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:54,720 Speaker 1: He made somebody miss and then he's up the sideline 1149 01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,080 Speaker 1: for fifteen eighteen yards. Those chunk plays will not be 1150 01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,240 Speaker 1: ignored in film review. They will look at that. Now, 1151 01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:04,520 Speaker 1: the matchups are different. You're going against the Kansas City 1152 01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:08,160 Speaker 1: defense that I would argue is faster than the Patriots defense. 1153 01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,000 Speaker 1: Maybe every defense in the league is faster than them 1154 01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:14,200 Speaker 1: at this point, and they have more elite talent on 1155 01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:17,240 Speaker 1: that defensive side of the ball in Kansas City. So 1156 01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:21,200 Speaker 1: they have to assess the matchups, determine whether they think 1157 01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:24,280 Speaker 1: there's an opportunity to utilize McKenzie in that fashion, and 1158 01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:27,320 Speaker 1: then they'll take it from there. I will say this, Look, 1159 01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:30,080 Speaker 1: I love Isaiah McKenzie. He brings juice to this offense, 1160 01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:33,720 Speaker 1: there is no question about it. But Deebo Samuel is 1161 01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:37,800 Speaker 1: San Francisco's unicorn. The Bills have Josh Allen, the Niners 1162 01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,880 Speaker 1: have Deebo Samuel. I mean he does what McKenzie does 1163 01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:43,320 Speaker 1: and he weighs about thirty pounds more than him at 1164 01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:46,840 Speaker 1: least he's about two fifteen six foot three, and he 1165 01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:50,840 Speaker 1: runs like the wind and he breaks tackles. Yeah, guys 1166 01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:54,240 Speaker 1: like Isaiah McKenzie don't break tackles. They outrun people. But 1167 01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:57,440 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel is doing that. Deebo Samuels is not Isaiah McKenzie, 1168 01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:00,640 Speaker 1: and isa McKenzie is not Deebo Samuel. The two different guys, 1169 01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:03,240 Speaker 1: they have two different skills and you've seen it that 1170 01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,880 Speaker 1: it is they do. The offensive coordinators for both teams 1171 01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:10,400 Speaker 1: do make concerted cognitive attempts to get those guys the 1172 01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:13,520 Speaker 1: ball in situations, no question about it. So in that respect, 1173 01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:17,360 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel is like Isaiah McKenzie and vice versa. Isaiah's 1174 01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:20,800 Speaker 1: like Debo. But they're different guys and their skill sets different. 1175 01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:23,680 Speaker 1: Debo is built like a running back and he played 1176 01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:26,920 Speaker 1: wide receiver, but they're finding out his athleticism and his 1177 01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:28,560 Speaker 1: ability to put his foot in the ground and run 1178 01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:33,600 Speaker 1: like a running back gives them the flexibility to do 1179 01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,400 Speaker 1: just that. Line him up in the backfield and hand 1180 01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:38,440 Speaker 1: it to him. Isaiah McKenzie could do that, but you're 1181 01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:41,160 Speaker 1: not going to run him between the tackles, that kind 1182 01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:45,040 Speaker 1: of thing. So they're different guys, they have different skills sets, 1183 01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:46,800 Speaker 1: so one is not the other and the other is 1184 01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:52,000 Speaker 1: not the one. So yeah, Isaia McKenzie is a little 1185 01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,160 Speaker 1: bit more versatile than say, like a guy like Cole 1186 01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:58,200 Speaker 1: Beasley because of his speed. But he's not Debo saying 1187 01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,000 Speaker 1: he's got to be out in space. Yeah, he needs 1188 01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,680 Speaker 1: some space and some room to run and outrun people. 1189 01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:05,080 Speaker 1: All right, back to the phones, we go into Jeremy 1190 01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:08,360 Speaker 1: and Boise our second Idaho call of the day. Steve, 1191 01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:11,760 Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Jeremy, You're gonna have 1192 01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:13,479 Speaker 1: to hook me up with that other Bills fan because 1193 01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,120 Speaker 1: there's not too many of us out here. I gotta 1194 01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:19,160 Speaker 1: say comment and a question comment. I just wanted to 1195 01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:22,320 Speaker 1: congratulate you guys on a great twenty twenty one. Love 1196 01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:25,400 Speaker 1: the show. You guys bring a lot of energy every day. 1197 01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:29,200 Speaker 1: And I logged about seventy thousand miles throughout the summer 1198 01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:31,280 Speaker 1: and fall and listen to you guys you know, and 1199 01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:33,800 Speaker 1: probably about thirty different cities, and it was just really 1200 01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:36,959 Speaker 1: really great to wake up every morning to one Bill's 1201 01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:41,440 Speaker 1: live on the phone. My question has to do. Now 1202 01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:45,160 Speaker 1: that Josh Allen is the last quarterback standing in the AFCAST, 1203 01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:48,520 Speaker 1: I was hoping to get your guys assessment going forward 1204 01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:52,520 Speaker 1: about the other young quarterbacks in the division. And the 1205 01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:55,000 Speaker 1: reason I ask is because, you know, I'm sure I'm 1206 01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:58,440 Speaker 1: in the minority here, but I've secretly been rooting for 1207 01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:04,160 Speaker 1: Tuah and Zach Willon and Mac Davis or Mac Jones 1208 01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:07,240 Speaker 1: to actually be good because I would kind of like 1209 01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:09,080 Speaker 1: there to be, you know, like it was in the 1210 01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:11,800 Speaker 1: late eighties and the nineties, to have some quarterback rivalries 1211 01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:13,919 Speaker 1: in the division. I just think that that would be fun. 1212 01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:19,000 Speaker 1: And you know, we used to Marino versus Kelly, Marino 1213 01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:22,759 Speaker 1: versus Kenny O'Brien with the Jets, Kelly versus O'Brien maybe 1214 01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:25,280 Speaker 1: Bledsoe to a lesser extent. You know, I think that 1215 01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,320 Speaker 1: what made those teams a lot of fun to watch 1216 01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:32,439 Speaker 1: was the rivalries within the division. And I know it's early, 1217 01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:34,560 Speaker 1: you know, because they only have about a year or 1218 01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:36,920 Speaker 1: a year and a half under their belts, But do 1219 01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:40,800 Speaker 1: you see anyone in the division becoming, you know, not 1220 01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,519 Speaker 1: an equal to Josh, because I don't see that happening 1221 01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:46,000 Speaker 1: anytime soon, But do any of them have the potential 1222 01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:49,759 Speaker 1: to be a genuine rival to Josh and the Bills. 1223 01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:52,840 Speaker 1: So thanks for the time. Yeah, thanks, Jeremy. Well, I'll 1224 01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:55,960 Speaker 1: give you first crack at that, Steve. What do you say, um, 1225 01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:58,880 Speaker 1: I think we're think I think the one that's got 1226 01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:00,960 Speaker 1: a shot out of Zach will because he's got the 1227 01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,519 Speaker 1: live arm and he's an athlete, can get out and run. 1228 01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:05,000 Speaker 1: He's got a lot, you know, He's got to learn 1229 01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:06,879 Speaker 1: a lot, and he's got to get some more experience. 1230 01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:09,080 Speaker 1: He's got to he's got to win from the pocket 1231 01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:11,240 Speaker 1: and gotta get rid of the ball quicker all that stuff, 1232 01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:12,960 Speaker 1: and he's got to get the offense under his belt 1233 01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,519 Speaker 1: a little better. I think it's the jury is still 1234 01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:18,400 Speaker 1: out on him, but he's got the physical abilities to Ah. 1235 01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:22,599 Speaker 1: I'm not sold on him, haven't been sold on him. 1236 01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:25,960 Speaker 1: I think he's a good player, but he doesn't throw 1237 01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:28,000 Speaker 1: it well enough. And Mac Jones, well, I think Mac 1238 01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:31,360 Speaker 1: Jones's mate. Like Mac Jones better than I like Tah. 1239 01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:36,720 Speaker 1: I'll say that right away. I think Mac showed by 1240 01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:40,880 Speaker 1: being able to and his rookie season ride the Patriots 1241 01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:43,800 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, despite how it didn't. He did not 1242 01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:47,560 Speaker 1: play badly in that game on Saturday in the wildcard 1243 01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:51,400 Speaker 1: round for the Patriots. He's just it wasn't enough. I 1244 01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:55,240 Speaker 1: think I'm but Tah and Zach Wilson for the two 1245 01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:59,639 Speaker 1: of them, Neither one of him I think will ever 1246 01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:08,240 Speaker 1: measure up to Josh now Zachi Zach May. Zach has 1247 01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:12,880 Speaker 1: elite traits. He's got a rocket arm, he's got mobility, 1248 01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:16,760 Speaker 1: and you know, it's all a matter of player development 1249 01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:18,920 Speaker 1: because the tools are there for him to be a 1250 01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:23,040 Speaker 1: very productive quarterback in this league. And I thought he 1251 01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:25,360 Speaker 1: did make progress in the last month of the season 1252 01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,360 Speaker 1: when he came back from injury. He looked more composed, 1253 01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:31,680 Speaker 1: his decision making was better. He trusted the framework of 1254 01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:35,719 Speaker 1: the offense, he trusted pocket protection and made more plays. 1255 01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:39,080 Speaker 1: As a result, mac Jones had the best stat line 1256 01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:43,720 Speaker 1: between those two rookie quarterbacks. I believe mac Jones came 1257 01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:48,320 Speaker 1: in with the highest floor of the rookie qbs, and 1258 01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:50,680 Speaker 1: then he turned out to perform the best. Will he 1259 01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:53,120 Speaker 1: be the best quarterback in that draft class five years 1260 01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:55,920 Speaker 1: from now? And I'm not so sure because I think 1261 01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:59,200 Speaker 1: his ceiling is the lowest. He and two to me 1262 01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:02,920 Speaker 1: are relative taily comparable. I would probably take mac over 1263 01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:05,160 Speaker 1: to ah just because he's a little bit bigger, a 1264 01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:08,639 Speaker 1: little sturdier. I think two is gonna get injured unless 1265 01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:10,519 Speaker 1: that offensive line gets fixed and it's one of the 1266 01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:12,760 Speaker 1: best in the league. I think he's gonna miss some 1267 01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:14,720 Speaker 1: games each and every year because he's not a big 1268 01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:19,000 Speaker 1: guy and he's not great at scrambling, you know. So 1269 01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:22,840 Speaker 1: there are deficiencies to to his game that, you know, 1270 01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:26,160 Speaker 1: I think are going to hurt his ability to lift 1271 01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:31,320 Speaker 1: that team into genuine playoff and Super Bowl contention year 1272 01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:36,479 Speaker 1: over year unless he has an all star squad around him, 1273 01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:38,760 Speaker 1: and even then I think he would be the one 1274 01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:40,559 Speaker 1: holding them back. And it's hard for us to say 1275 01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,439 Speaker 1: we only saw Zach Wilson once. In Week eighteen. He 1276 01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:46,519 Speaker 1: was seven of twenty against the Bills. Yeah, that's the 1277 01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:49,960 Speaker 1: number one past defense in football. Yeah and so, and 1278 01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:52,559 Speaker 1: he had two of his top three receivers out for 1279 01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:57,760 Speaker 1: the game and didn't help. Yeah, exactly, That's what I 1280 01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,840 Speaker 1: was gonna say. Right now, I have to say, like, well, 1281 01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:03,400 Speaker 1: he's playing for the Jets, so he's up against it. 1282 01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:06,920 Speaker 1: Maybe Robert Sala and those guys are gonna, you know, 1283 01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:08,920 Speaker 1: take a big step this. I think they should take 1284 01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:10,720 Speaker 1: a big step. This year should be there for them 1285 01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:12,800 Speaker 1: to do that. Two first round draft picks in the 1286 01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:18,519 Speaker 1: top ten. They've got some They've got some cachet there 1287 01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:22,360 Speaker 1: and some assets to turn it into a really good 1288 01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:24,920 Speaker 1: football team or a much better football team in twenty 1289 01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:27,840 Speaker 1: twenty two than they had in twenty twenty one. But 1290 01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:29,800 Speaker 1: we'll see if they get it done. There's until they're 1291 01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:32,439 Speaker 1: not until they're better. There's always gonna be thought of 1292 01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:38,120 Speaker 1: as the Jets. So Zack Wilson's up against that as well. Yeah, 1293 01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:40,559 Speaker 1: he not only has to make himself better, he probably 1294 01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:43,080 Speaker 1: has to lift an entire organization, which is easier said 1295 01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,880 Speaker 1: than done even at that position. We go to Bill 1296 01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:48,160 Speaker 1: in South Carolina. We are all over the map today. 1297 01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:52,439 Speaker 1: What do you have for us? Bill? Yeah, you're doing Yeah. 1298 01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:57,519 Speaker 1: I'd love to hear Steve's comment on comparing this team 1299 01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:00,960 Speaker 1: against the Super Bowl teams because it just seems to 1300 01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:04,120 Speaker 1: me like this team has got so much more humility 1301 01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:07,840 Speaker 1: than uh, you know, the teams of the nineties. And 1302 01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:09,840 Speaker 1: I love the fact that you know, we went to 1303 01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:13,120 Speaker 1: fourth streets, but you know, as the rumors they were 1304 01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:15,519 Speaker 1: out party in the ninety four the first Super Bowl 1305 01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:19,559 Speaker 1: and may have affected their play. So I guess i'd 1306 01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:23,160 Speaker 1: I'd love to hear the contrast from Steve's point of view. Okay, 1307 01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:26,400 Speaker 1: thanks for the bill. Yeah, both those teams had assets, 1308 01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:28,559 Speaker 1: no question about it. This this group, this is a 1309 01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:31,800 Speaker 1: great bunch here in the twenty twenty one, no question 1310 01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:33,920 Speaker 1: about it. The group in the nineties, it was a 1311 01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:36,920 Speaker 1: different world in the nineties. Don't remember, don't forget, but um, 1312 01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:42,200 Speaker 1: I would tend to yeah, pooh pooh. The stories that 1313 01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:44,639 Speaker 1: the reason we lost the game the Super Bowl twenty 1314 01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:46,719 Speaker 1: five was because they were out partying the night before 1315 01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:49,599 Speaker 1: the game. I would probably not put much credence into that. Now, 1316 01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:53,000 Speaker 1: certainly they had some fun during the week, but that 1317 01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:54,920 Speaker 1: was all water under the bridge by the time the 1318 01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:57,840 Speaker 1: game took place and all of that. So you can 1319 01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:02,439 Speaker 1: say what you want about it. About as for humility, yeah, okay, Um, 1320 01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:07,320 Speaker 1: that team in the nineties, yeah they were. They were 1321 01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:10,200 Speaker 1: pretty pretty confident group, no question about it. But you're 1322 01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:13,880 Speaker 1: talking about a group that had three first ballot Hall 1323 01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:15,880 Speaker 1: of Fame, well what should have been four first ballot 1324 01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:17,760 Speaker 1: Hall of Famers, and then a fifth guy as well, 1325 01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:22,080 Speaker 1: James Lofton, Andre Reid Thurman, and then you got Bruce 1326 01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:24,200 Speaker 1: and Jim who were first ballot guys, and some other 1327 01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:26,559 Speaker 1: guys who are probably worthy of it, like Ken holl 1328 01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:30,519 Speaker 1: and Cornelius Bennett. Yeah, they had some confidence. That doesn't 1329 01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:34,200 Speaker 1: make them. They weren't bad guys. I mean I liked 1330 01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:38,720 Speaker 1: him even then. Um, forget about the forget about the 1331 01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:40,400 Speaker 1: love and respect I have for him today. I loved 1332 01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:43,720 Speaker 1: him back then. So they were they were confident, but 1333 01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:48,280 Speaker 1: they weren't bad. They weren't bad. I mean, come on, so, UM, 1334 01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:52,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's hard to compare eras like that. Um, 1335 01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:55,800 Speaker 1: certainly there's a ton of guys on this roster that 1336 01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:58,960 Speaker 1: could that would have been welcomed and helped that roster 1337 01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:01,280 Speaker 1: back then, and vice ver. So they were obviously guys 1338 01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:03,639 Speaker 1: back then that would that would walk onto this roster 1339 01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:08,360 Speaker 1: and really help this roster. It was a different world. 1340 01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:14,920 Speaker 1: It's thirty years ago, so there are differences. But this 1341 01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:16,920 Speaker 1: is a pretty special group this year, just like they 1342 01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:19,920 Speaker 1: were a very special group back in the day. We 1343 01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:22,360 Speaker 1: have to take a break here because when we come back, 1344 01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:26,799 Speaker 1: it is time for the Mattie Awards.

Hello, guys, happy to be here, Still excited 1358 01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:33,799 Speaker 1: from that epic victory over the Patriots. I mean, what 1359 01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:37,000 Speaker 1: what a curb stomp, What a beat down? I love it, 1360 01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:40,480 Speaker 1: and I hope that it can continue into the divisional 1361 01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:46,360 Speaker 1: round against none other than the Kansas City Chiefs. Yeah, 1362 01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:49,160 Speaker 1: Steve's laughing at your curb stomp. You just really the 1363 01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:51,880 Speaker 1: same thing. It's a beat beat down, beat down, I've said, 1364 01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:54,240 Speaker 1: beat down about fifty times on the show or any day, 1365 01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:59,800 Speaker 1: keep saying it won't get old, Steve, this is, this 1366 01:16:59,880 --> 01:17:03,120 Speaker 1: is I'll say it again. The Bills are the team 1367 01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:06,960 Speaker 1: that needs to go to Kansas City. Well, they're the 1368 01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:09,840 Speaker 1: team that needs to go into Casey. They are the team. 1369 01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:12,479 Speaker 1: So I think you got to look at it as 1370 01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:16,599 Speaker 1: a as a once in a lifetime opportunity, a once 1371 01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:20,519 Speaker 1: like a one time only shot at this And I 1372 01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:23,000 Speaker 1: think it's awesome that they get a three hundred and 1373 01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:25,559 Speaker 1: sixty five days after they were there, once they get 1374 01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:27,000 Speaker 1: to go back and make amends for it. I think 1375 01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:28,960 Speaker 1: they're the perfect team to do it, and they should 1376 01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:30,640 Speaker 1: feel good about their chance to go in there. Do 1377 01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:34,120 Speaker 1: you agree, Mattie, Yeah, I mean I think so. And 1378 01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:37,639 Speaker 1: I think a win would feel even better against the 1379 01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:40,160 Speaker 1: kans City Chiefs, knowing what happened last year in the 1380 01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:44,120 Speaker 1: AFC Championship game and knowing that they can kick the 1381 01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:46,240 Speaker 1: Chiefs out of their way to get to the AFC 1382 01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:49,720 Speaker 1: Championship Games. So I think it's going to be a 1383 01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:53,200 Speaker 1: great matchup two high powered offenses, one of the best 1384 01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:56,200 Speaker 1: defenses in the NFL, and then for the Kansa City Chiefs, 1385 01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:58,519 Speaker 1: it was a defense that really came on strong toward 1386 01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,040 Speaker 1: the end of the season. In the beginning of the season, 1387 01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:03,400 Speaker 1: when we played them the first time around, they were 1388 01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:06,280 Speaker 1: one of the worst defenses in the NFL, and after 1389 01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:08,760 Speaker 1: the regular season still ranked pretty low in a lot 1390 01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:10,840 Speaker 1: of categories. So I think that's going to be an 1391 01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:13,760 Speaker 1: interesting part of the game to see how well our 1392 01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:16,519 Speaker 1: offense can do against their defense. Yeah, definitely be a 1393 01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:19,080 Speaker 1: tougher defense than the one they faced this past Saturday, 1394 01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:21,840 Speaker 1: at least in terms of how they performed against the Bills. 1395 01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:27,680 Speaker 1: But we begin with the unstoppable award Maddie. Unstoppable, Well, 1396 01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:30,679 Speaker 1: it was our quarterback, Josh Allen. He could not be touched. 1397 01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:33,680 Speaker 1: He could not be stopped, even against one of the 1398 01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:36,880 Speaker 1: best defenses in the NFL. The Patriots definitely didn't play 1399 01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:40,040 Speaker 1: like that though on Saturday night. I mean five passing 1400 01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:43,920 Speaker 1: touchdowns from Josh Allen, a Bill's record in the playoffs. 1401 01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:47,000 Speaker 1: He was on fire from the start of this game, 1402 01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:49,960 Speaker 1: and the fire did not go out until after the game. 1403 01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:53,760 Speaker 1: I mean over three hundred passing yards and then goes 1404 01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:57,439 Speaker 1: over sixty yards on the ground. I can't believe he's 1405 01:18:57,479 --> 01:19:00,519 Speaker 1: the first player in NFL history with five passing jones 1406 01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:03,679 Speaker 1: at least an eighty percent completion percentage and at least 1407 01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:07,000 Speaker 1: fifty rushing yards on the ground. It seems like when 1408 01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:09,240 Speaker 1: he has his big games, which he's had a lot 1409 01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:11,719 Speaker 1: of big games and has had a lot of success 1410 01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:14,559 Speaker 1: in big games, the stats that come out to follow that, 1411 01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:16,960 Speaker 1: it's like Josh Allen is the first player to do 1412 01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:20,920 Speaker 1: X y Z. I think there's now probably you can 1413 01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:23,920 Speaker 1: fill up two pages of a document with the things 1414 01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:26,360 Speaker 1: that he's been able to do, the first player to 1415 01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:29,880 Speaker 1: do X y Z. He's a gamer, he's a competitor. 1416 01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:32,880 Speaker 1: Some of the throws that he made against the Patriots 1417 01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:37,040 Speaker 1: defense were absolutely ridiculous, scoring on every single drive until 1418 01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:39,120 Speaker 1: they started to kneel down at the end of the game. 1419 01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:42,519 Speaker 1: He tore apart the Patriots. Bring on the Kansas City 1420 01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:46,440 Speaker 1: Chiefs defense. Yeah, I would agree with that. He's a unicorn. 1421 01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:48,679 Speaker 1: He's playing like it. He's putting up numbers and types 1422 01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:50,800 Speaker 1: of games that nobody's ever done before, and it just 1423 01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:53,320 Speaker 1: speaks to the neatness of his skill set and how 1424 01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:55,640 Speaker 1: good he is. It's so many different things. You have 1425 01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:58,200 Speaker 1: another one and I figured this would make it, but 1426 01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:03,599 Speaker 1: the Momentum Shifter Award. You know what, The Bills score 1427 01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:06,360 Speaker 1: on their first drive and the Patriots go right down 1428 01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:09,360 Speaker 1: the field looking to tie it up on their first 1429 01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:14,400 Speaker 1: drive and they're comes Mica Hide out of nowhere to 1430 01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:16,920 Speaker 1: pick off a pass in the end zone. The best 1431 01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:20,320 Speaker 1: interception of the season. It was the cherry on top 1432 01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:24,320 Speaker 1: to the kickbut season that the secondary has had without 1433 01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:27,639 Speaker 1: Trey White, I mean, he looks like a pro bowler 1434 01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:31,439 Speaker 1: if I've ever seen one. Continuing on with the with 1435 01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:33,880 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl snub, anytime I get a chance, I'm 1436 01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:36,400 Speaker 1: just gonna mention that Micah Hyde should have been in 1437 01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:39,240 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl because he definitely plays like a Pro bowler. 1438 01:20:39,360 --> 01:20:42,320 Speaker 1: I'm so happy for Mica and for Jordan and the 1439 01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:45,200 Speaker 1: hard work that they've put in since twenty seventeen, the 1440 01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:51,240 Speaker 1: best safety tandem in the NFL. That interception was ridiculous. 1441 01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:54,920 Speaker 1: It was incredible to make that catch, the ball going 1442 01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:58,679 Speaker 1: over his shoulders. I mean it was a momentum shifter. 1443 01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:02,280 Speaker 1: After that play, the Patriots sideline went quiet and it 1444 01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:05,360 Speaker 1: was a Buffalo Bills game. Yeah, And the first thing 1445 01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,519 Speaker 1: that I thought of, and Maddie, maybe you can relate 1446 01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:09,519 Speaker 1: to this being somebody that was rooted in a lot 1447 01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:13,360 Speaker 1: of baseball knowledge from your dad. The first thing I 1448 01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:15,519 Speaker 1: thought of was the Willie Mays over the shoulder catch 1449 01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:17,920 Speaker 1: in the fifty four World Series. It looked like that, 1450 01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:21,400 Speaker 1: That's how amazing it was with the ground that he covered. Now, 1451 01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:23,200 Speaker 1: I wasn't old enough to see it, and neither was Maddie, 1452 01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:25,759 Speaker 1: but we've seen highlights of that play in the fifty 1453 01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:28,080 Speaker 1: four World Series. For I mean, the guy ran straight 1454 01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:30,479 Speaker 1: back like fifty yards and caught a ball over his 1455 01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:32,960 Speaker 1: shoulder and then threw it back into the infield. Micah 1456 01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:35,599 Speaker 1: Hyde's play was kind That's what it reminded me of. 1457 01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:39,439 Speaker 1: And our good friend Judy Batista from NFL Neckwork actually 1458 01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:42,240 Speaker 1: tweeted that she said looked like Willie Mays and it did. 1459 01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:45,040 Speaker 1: It was an unbelievable play, no question about it, all right, 1460 01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:47,840 Speaker 1: best connection, this is not an easy one. There were 1461 01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:49,639 Speaker 1: a lot of good connections in this game. What did 1462 01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:53,200 Speaker 1: you pick here? My favorite connection of the game was 1463 01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:56,559 Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Dawson Knox. You couldn't stop those two. 1464 01:21:57,120 --> 01:22:00,920 Speaker 1: Two receiving touchdowns by Dawson Knox. Two tough by a 1465 01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,799 Speaker 1: tight end in the end zone who had trouble catching 1466 01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:06,880 Speaker 1: the ball the previous two seasons. His growth over the 1467 01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:11,800 Speaker 1: last season is amazing to see the catches that he 1468 01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:14,920 Speaker 1: has this season compared to the last two seasons. He 1469 01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:17,800 Speaker 1: has done stuff this season that he definitely couldn't do 1470 01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:21,120 Speaker 1: last season or his rookie season. You know you're a 1471 01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:25,320 Speaker 1: good quarterback when you accidentally throw a touchdown. Josh Allen 1472 01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:28,439 Speaker 1: was trying to throw that first touchdown out of bounds 1473 01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:30,920 Speaker 1: and Dawson Knox climbed a ladder and made a great 1474 01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:33,040 Speaker 1: catch in the back of the end zone. And then 1475 01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:35,880 Speaker 1: the second touchdown catch that Dawson Knox had that was 1476 01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:38,879 Speaker 1: thrown in a tight window, and that was a bullet 1477 01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:42,320 Speaker 1: by Josh Allen. Those are not easy catches to make. 1478 01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:45,320 Speaker 1: When it's freezing cold outside, the ball gets a lot 1479 01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:48,920 Speaker 1: harder and slippery, and Dawson Knox made that catch look 1480 01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:52,360 Speaker 1: super easy. Dawson was targeted five times and he caught 1481 01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:55,519 Speaker 1: every single one of his targets, So those two were 1482 01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:59,360 Speaker 1: just on point with each other in lockstep. It was 1483 01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:02,439 Speaker 1: a great connection throughout the entire game. Yeah, that second 1484 01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:05,040 Speaker 1: touchdown he had Adrian Phillips draped all over his back too. 1485 01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:07,479 Speaker 1: It wasn't bad coverage. So he had a man on 1486 01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:09,040 Speaker 1: his back and a bullet coming at him and he 1487 01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:11,320 Speaker 1: still caught that someone. I don't want to Maybe now 1488 01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:12,920 Speaker 1: is not the time for me to say I told 1489 01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:15,080 Speaker 1: you so about Dawson Knox, But I told you so. 1490 01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:18,280 Speaker 1: I told you that is so. Is one of the 1491 01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:22,639 Speaker 1: few check marks on your white boards. You so you did. 1492 01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:25,120 Speaker 1: Thank you all right now. And the next one is 1493 01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:27,000 Speaker 1: called the hot Streak, and I gotta go along with 1494 01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,840 Speaker 1: you on this one too, Mattie. This is a good one. Yeah. 1495 01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:32,920 Speaker 1: I think I had Devin Singletary as heating up last 1496 01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:35,479 Speaker 1: week in last week's Mattie's Awards. So he gets the 1497 01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:39,120 Speaker 1: Hot Streak award because he has been mister consistent to 1498 01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:41,960 Speaker 1: end the season and has continued that into the playoffs. 1499 01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:44,280 Speaker 1: Now with far out of the five last games, he 1500 01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:47,559 Speaker 1: has over eighty rushing yards and has at least one 1501 01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:51,280 Speaker 1: rushing touchdown the last five games, eight total touchdowns in 1502 01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:53,640 Speaker 1: the last five games. I mean his hard work is 1503 01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:57,639 Speaker 1: paying off two rushing touchdowns in the first playoff game 1504 01:23:57,720 --> 01:24:00,679 Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty one season. It's been a great 1505 01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:03,880 Speaker 1: addition to the Buffalo Bill's offense to see the run 1506 01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:06,559 Speaker 1: game come alive. To see Devin Singletary come alive with 1507 01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:09,320 Speaker 1: the help of his offensive line. I know, Chris, you've 1508 01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,160 Speaker 1: said a lot. He's been getting north south a lot better. 1509 01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:14,800 Speaker 1: His vision, the way that he's able to kind of 1510 01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:17,640 Speaker 1: get those extra yards this season is different than in 1511 01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:19,640 Speaker 1: the past, and I think this team is going to 1512 01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:21,599 Speaker 1: be really hard to stop if the run game can 1513 01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:24,800 Speaker 1: stay consistent like it has the last five weeks, and 1514 01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:27,960 Speaker 1: Devin Singletary is the reason why. Yeah, it's crazy to 1515 01:24:28,040 --> 01:24:31,320 Speaker 1: think that the hot the most productive running back in 1516 01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:34,760 Speaker 1: the league. Jonathan Taylor had what did you have? Eighteen touchdowns, 1517 01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:38,040 Speaker 1: but in the last stretch of the season since Week fifteen, 1518 01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:40,439 Speaker 1: there was only one running back in the entire league 1519 01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:43,599 Speaker 1: that had more rushing touchdowns in Singletary. It was Damian Harris, 1520 01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:47,320 Speaker 1: who did not find the end zone on Saturday. So 1521 01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:50,439 Speaker 1: pretty interesting and now seven rushing touchdowns in his last 1522 01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:53,840 Speaker 1: five games. All right, a team award here for most 1523 01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:57,760 Speaker 1: improved or a unit anyway, right, Mannie, Yes, this one 1524 01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:00,799 Speaker 1: is going to the run defense. They were most improved 1525 01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:03,799 Speaker 1: in my eyes compared to the last two matchups against 1526 01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:06,040 Speaker 1: the Patriots during the regular season. I know we all 1527 01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:09,200 Speaker 1: remember in Week thirteen when the Patriots rushed for two 1528 01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:11,680 Speaker 1: or twenty two yards and then in Week sixteen one 1529 01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:14,719 Speaker 1: hundred and forty nine. Damien Harris had over one hundred 1530 01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:17,400 Speaker 1: rushing yards in those first two games against the Bills, 1531 01:25:17,720 --> 01:25:20,400 Speaker 1: and they held the Patriots to just eighty nine total 1532 01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:24,080 Speaker 1: rushing yards on Saturday night. Damian Harris only had thirty 1533 01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:26,720 Speaker 1: of those rushing yards in average just three point three 1534 01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:30,080 Speaker 1: yards per carry. People have pointed to the run defense 1535 01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:33,360 Speaker 1: as a problem for the Buffalo Bills defense throughout the season, 1536 01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:35,599 Speaker 1: but they were able to hold it down, allowing less 1537 01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:38,920 Speaker 1: than one hundred rushing yards in the wildcard game against 1538 01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:41,679 Speaker 1: the Patriots. So that's going to be important going forward. 1539 01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:44,280 Speaker 1: I mean, the Kinds City Chiefs, they can run the 1540 01:25:44,320 --> 01:25:48,040 Speaker 1: ball even without Clyde Edwards Lair, They've got running backs 1541 01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:51,080 Speaker 1: who can be a problem. So this is going to 1542 01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:54,960 Speaker 1: be an important area to excel in going forward. Yeah. 1543 01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:58,000 Speaker 1: That and I think that's something that you can point 1544 01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:00,240 Speaker 1: to as this team peaking at the right time time 1545 01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:02,160 Speaker 1: as well. Both this. You know a bunch of your 1546 01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:04,599 Speaker 1: some of these awards that you know, the best connection, 1547 01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:08,280 Speaker 1: the hot streak, the most improved, those are all kind 1548 01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:10,679 Speaker 1: of focusing on what Brownie and I've been talking about 1549 01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:13,080 Speaker 1: through the program, about the team playing its best right 1550 01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:15,800 Speaker 1: at the right time. It'll be interesting to see and 1551 01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:19,280 Speaker 1: fun to see if that can indeed continues to be 1552 01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:21,840 Speaker 1: the case. Now. The next one is called the Just 1553 01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:27,360 Speaker 1: in Time Award. Tell us about this one. Just in time. 1554 01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:31,160 Speaker 1: Emanuel Sanders is just in time because he had his 1555 01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:34,840 Speaker 1: first playoff touchdown on Saturday night. I could not believe 1556 01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:37,320 Speaker 1: that when someone said, oh, yeah, that was his first 1557 01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:40,120 Speaker 1: playoff touchdown. This dude has been in the NFL for 1558 01:26:40,160 --> 01:26:42,679 Speaker 1: twelve years and it took him this long to get 1559 01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:45,599 Speaker 1: his first playoff touchdown. I'm not saying it's his fault 1560 01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:48,640 Speaker 1: by any means, but I cannot believe it's taken him 1561 01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:51,439 Speaker 1: this long. But Josh Allen also said, you know, twelve 1562 01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:55,240 Speaker 1: years first touchdown catch on the Buffalo Bills. I'm happy 1563 01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:57,760 Speaker 1: it came for him at least being a part of 1564 01:26:57,760 --> 01:26:59,800 Speaker 1: this Buffalo team. I thought it was really funny how 1565 01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:03,240 Speaker 1: Josh said, I can't believe that Tommy Doyle has won 1566 01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:06,439 Speaker 1: in his first playoff game as an NFL player, and 1567 01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:10,840 Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders has to wait twelve seasons for that. To happen. 1568 01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:14,519 Speaker 1: But the touchdown that Emmanuel Sanders caught from Josh Allen, 1569 01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:17,920 Speaker 1: that pass was a beautiful ball that Josh Allen threw. 1570 01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:20,719 Speaker 1: I'm glad Emmanuel Sanders is healthy and in the mix 1571 01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:23,280 Speaker 1: for the playoffs. Yeah, that whole receiving core is pretty 1572 01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:25,599 Speaker 1: healthy as far as we know. And that's good because 1573 01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:29,080 Speaker 1: they rotated all those guys through heavily through the course 1574 01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:31,120 Speaker 1: of the game, much the way Leslie Frasier rotates the 1575 01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:33,439 Speaker 1: defensive line. It was interesting to see the snap counts 1576 01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:36,000 Speaker 1: for all those guys. All right, last one that we 1577 01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:39,120 Speaker 1: have time for Maddie and this one special. I think 1578 01:27:39,160 --> 01:27:41,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people saw it on social media over 1579 01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:46,200 Speaker 1: the weekend. But the Shirtless Wonder Award that has to 1580 01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:50,000 Speaker 1: go to Fitzmagic. Guys. Fitzmagic came out on Saturday night, 1581 01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:54,200 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick. He made an appearance at the Buffalo Bill's game, 1582 01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:55,960 Speaker 1: had some of his kids with him too. He was 1583 01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:58,840 Speaker 1: with one of his friends and I'm sure we have 1584 01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:01,840 Speaker 1: all seen the picture and now the videos of fitz 1585 01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:04,599 Speaker 1: Magic in the stands without his shirt on, cheering on 1586 01:28:04,640 --> 01:28:07,240 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. I mean, in what world does an 1587 01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:10,400 Speaker 1: NFL quarterback that's not Josh Allen or Mac Jones make 1588 01:28:10,439 --> 01:28:13,280 Speaker 1: an appearance, not necessarily on the field, but in the 1589 01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:16,439 Speaker 1: crowd during the game, none other than Ryan Fitzpatrick. And 1590 01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:18,599 Speaker 1: he stopped in the radio booth where I was watching 1591 01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:21,919 Speaker 1: the game from set high to Eric Wood and John Murphy, 1592 01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:24,920 Speaker 1: and he stayed for a little bit and was able 1593 01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:28,640 Speaker 1: to watch the Levi Wallace interception, and just watching his 1594 01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:32,160 Speaker 1: reaction to the Levi Wallace interception was just amazing. He 1595 01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:34,639 Speaker 1: looked at his kid, gave him a high five and said, 1596 01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:37,840 Speaker 1: isn't it so awesome to be here and witness what's 1597 01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:40,320 Speaker 1: going on right now? And I was like, oh, this 1598 01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:44,320 Speaker 1: is so amazing. I love Ryan Fitzpatrick. So he's the 1599 01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:47,439 Speaker 1: Shirtless Wonder Award for that game. Yeah, he took his 1600 01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:50,719 Speaker 1: shirt off and he was, you know, out there bare jested. Now, 1601 01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:53,479 Speaker 1: in all fairness, he was under the heated seats, he 1602 01:28:53,520 --> 01:28:55,000 Speaker 1: was in the red seats. He was a little bit 1603 01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:56,800 Speaker 1: easier to do that there right than some of the 1604 01:28:56,840 --> 01:28:58,639 Speaker 1: guys in the front row. It was great. He wasn't 1605 01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:01,360 Speaker 1: holding back the treasure. And people are, you know, on 1606 01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:03,479 Speaker 1: social media, people are already saying, hey, come, you gotta 1607 01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:06,120 Speaker 1: be our backup when Rubisky leaves and go somewhere this 1608 01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:08,439 Speaker 1: next year. You need to be our backup. Come up, 1609 01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:10,400 Speaker 1: come back and give us a non core. That would 1610 01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:14,040 Speaker 1: be pretty wild. And I think we all saw why 1611 01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:17,680 Speaker 1: people still even now love Ryan Fitzpatrick, because that's who 1612 01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:20,960 Speaker 1: he is. He loves football, he loves competition, and even 1613 01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:23,200 Speaker 1: when he's not on the field, he's gaga for it 1614 01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:27,040 Speaker 1: and it's hard. He's infectious. He's infectious. Guy. Maddie, good 1615 01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:29,680 Speaker 1: Rundown of Mandy Awards this week.

Chris Brown, 1631 01:30:22,280 --> 01:30:26,439 Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you, and we wanted to discuss We 1632 01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:29,400 Speaker 1: had to discuss this at some point in time because 1633 01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:33,559 Speaker 1: there were a bunch of other games over the weekend 1634 01:30:34,600 --> 01:30:41,200 Speaker 1: and holy mackerel, oh my god, Cowboys Niners game was 1635 01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:49,439 Speaker 1: an abomination of clock management, clean football, good execution. I 1636 01:30:49,479 --> 01:30:52,599 Speaker 1: think a half dozen times I looked at the other 1637 01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:55,800 Speaker 1: people in my family room while that game was on 1638 01:30:55,920 --> 01:30:58,439 Speaker 1: and said, I don't know who wants to win this game, 1639 01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:02,840 Speaker 1: less the nine or the Cowboys. And the only reason 1640 01:31:02,920 --> 01:31:06,880 Speaker 1: the Niners won was because the Cowboys continued to screw 1641 01:31:06,920 --> 01:31:11,320 Speaker 1: it up, with the last play being the worst of 1642 01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:14,080 Speaker 1: the lot. The last play was irrelevant because they you know, 1643 01:31:14,240 --> 01:31:16,200 Speaker 1: what are they gonna do? It wasn't like a chip shot. 1644 01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:17,800 Speaker 1: It wasn't like they could kick a few goal to 1645 01:31:17,800 --> 01:31:19,559 Speaker 1: win the game. Dayton. The next play, they had to 1646 01:31:19,560 --> 01:31:21,920 Speaker 1: throw a twenty five yard touchdown pass. Even if they 1647 01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:24,320 Speaker 1: spiked it successfully with one second left, they still got 1648 01:31:24,439 --> 01:31:27,920 Speaker 1: one play to get a touchdown. I would argue that 1649 01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:31,160 Speaker 1: you don't run that play. You have fourteen seconds left, 1650 01:31:31,360 --> 01:31:33,960 Speaker 1: You're in the plus territory. Get it, Dad can get 1651 01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:36,559 Speaker 1: it to the end zone. Two shots at the end zone. 1652 01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:40,120 Speaker 1: The San Francisco forty nine ers have given up twenty 1653 01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:44,600 Speaker 1: five passing touchdowns this season and they have twenty three 1654 01:31:45,080 --> 01:31:50,160 Speaker 1: pass interference penalties to lead the league. You're not taking 1655 01:31:50,200 --> 01:31:53,519 Speaker 1: two shots at the end zone with fourteen seconds left. 1656 01:31:53,680 --> 01:31:55,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you get you're taking a scramble to the 1657 01:31:56,040 --> 01:32:00,599 Speaker 1: I mean every former quarterback on social media today Steve 1658 01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:04,719 Speaker 1: has said what they have been taught is the line 1659 01:32:04,720 --> 01:32:07,240 Speaker 1: of DeMar occasion to run a play like that in 1660 01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:11,040 Speaker 1: the final thirty seconds of the game. Sixteen at the 1661 01:32:11,160 --> 01:32:14,720 Speaker 1: least is what I've seen. They did it with fourteen 1662 01:32:15,120 --> 01:32:17,960 Speaker 1: and then Dak isn't smart enough to hand the ball 1663 01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:22,439 Speaker 1: to the official. That's dumb, you got, that's not that's 1664 01:32:22,479 --> 01:32:28,840 Speaker 1: not being prepared. And I'll say this, I mean the 1665 01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:33,160 Speaker 1: Bills wouldn't run Josh Allen there and they got they wouldn't. 1666 01:32:33,240 --> 01:32:37,200 Speaker 1: You wouldn't run Lamar Jackson there. You don't two shots 1667 01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:40,240 Speaker 1: at the end. They finished the game. They finished the 1668 01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:43,160 Speaker 1: game without throwing the ball to the end zone at 1669 01:32:43,200 --> 01:32:46,120 Speaker 1: any point in time they needed a touchdown to win 1670 01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:49,160 Speaker 1: the game, did not even throw it to the end 1671 01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:52,000 Speaker 1: zone then, and then you got people like like the 1672 01:32:52,080 --> 01:32:53,960 Speaker 1: Dallas fan and I get it. In the in the 1673 01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:55,760 Speaker 1: heat of the moment, people are throwing things at the 1674 01:32:55,880 --> 01:32:59,600 Speaker 1: Dallas officials. They were throwing things at the players, they 1675 01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:02,000 Speaker 1: were on them, at the officiating crew coming off the field, 1676 01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:06,519 Speaker 1: and it was construed as being thrown anyway. Either way, 1677 01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:09,280 Speaker 1: people are mad. If they're mad at the officials for 1678 01:33:09,320 --> 01:33:15,439 Speaker 1: stopping him. Look, Kay was over. That's not the officials. 1679 01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:18,639 Speaker 1: The officials did it run. If you want to say 1680 01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:20,640 Speaker 1: somebody did it wrong, look at the guys with the 1681 01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:25,960 Speaker 1: stars on their hat. Fourteen penalties set or tied a 1682 01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:30,559 Speaker 1: playoff record. Cowboys had fourteen penalties, more than half of 1683 01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:33,920 Speaker 1: which was on their offensive lineman. And that penalties out 1684 01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:36,280 Speaker 1: the wazoo. And I don't know what it is about 1685 01:33:36,360 --> 01:33:39,280 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. There are some games where he just can't 1686 01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:42,479 Speaker 1: flat out throw the football. He looked like Cam Newton 1687 01:33:42,560 --> 01:33:45,360 Speaker 1: for half of that game. He didn't look bad. He 1688 01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:48,040 Speaker 1: didn't watch He had some bounce passes. Steve I'm like, 1689 01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:52,840 Speaker 1: oh my god, Cam Newton just jumped inside of Dak 1690 01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:58,760 Speaker 1: Prescott's body. He looked horrible. Yeah, I'm yeah, it's not Listen. 1691 01:33:58,760 --> 01:34:01,960 Speaker 1: They had the number one offense the National Football League, right, 1692 01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:09,200 Speaker 1: number one in scoring and in total offense. I don't 1693 01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:12,200 Speaker 1: know why, you know what happened and what the Niners 1694 01:34:12,200 --> 01:34:14,840 Speaker 1: did that nobody else could do. And you know, they 1695 01:34:14,840 --> 01:34:17,280 Speaker 1: didn't run the ball, they didn't throw the they didn't 1696 01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:19,240 Speaker 1: run the football to they're running back. They did it 1697 01:34:19,280 --> 01:34:25,719 Speaker 1: what twelve times to their running backs? Yeah, the Dallas 1698 01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:28,840 Speaker 1: You and I've had had conversations about Mike McCarthy before, Yeah, 1699 01:34:29,280 --> 01:34:31,439 Speaker 1: and what happened to him in Green Bay and what 1700 01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:33,240 Speaker 1: was said about him coming out of Green Bay after 1701 01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:37,960 Speaker 1: he was gone. And certainly Aaron Rodgers is always happy 1702 01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:42,240 Speaker 1: to air his sour grapes and and and but I 1703 01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:46,360 Speaker 1: was hearing stuff from other coaching staff or other echoes 1704 01:34:46,400 --> 01:34:49,160 Speaker 1: from people on other teams in that division. There was like, listen, 1705 01:34:49,200 --> 01:34:52,719 Speaker 1: they ran the same place for thirteen years. You don't 1706 01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:55,000 Speaker 1: run the same place for thirteen years in the NFL. 1707 01:34:55,160 --> 01:34:57,280 Speaker 1: If you do, you know, you don't even run the 1708 01:34:57,280 --> 01:35:01,360 Speaker 1: same place in thirteen weeks in the NFL, it just 1709 01:35:01,400 --> 01:35:05,880 Speaker 1: doesn't happen. So, I mean, you're changing stuff up constantly. 1710 01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:09,519 Speaker 1: So he had a bat when he left Green Bay. 1711 01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:14,559 Speaker 1: It was not pretty, and he had the guy there. 1712 01:35:14,600 --> 01:35:17,280 Speaker 1: Now he was winning what was at six or eight? 1713 01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:19,360 Speaker 1: He was win eight, seven or eight games a year 1714 01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:22,360 Speaker 1: the last couple of years in Green Bay, they've won 1715 01:35:22,439 --> 01:35:26,719 Speaker 1: thirteen a year since he left. Yeah, with Matt Lafleur. 1716 01:35:26,880 --> 01:35:31,240 Speaker 1: With Matt Lafleur, I don't know the best part about 1717 01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:34,120 Speaker 1: this whole story concerning McCarthy. Do you remember the big 1718 01:35:34,160 --> 01:35:37,439 Speaker 1: write up when he was out of the game, how 1719 01:35:37,479 --> 01:35:41,759 Speaker 1: he had this whole football lab, had this football lab 1720 01:35:41,800 --> 01:35:44,680 Speaker 1: at his house with other coaches, and they were tracking 1721 01:35:44,720 --> 01:35:49,160 Speaker 1: the entire league for you know, new ideas and concepts, 1722 01:35:49,200 --> 01:35:51,720 Speaker 1: and how he was putting himself on the cutting edge 1723 01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:54,760 Speaker 1: of the game. Clock man. That guy couldn't coach his 1724 01:35:54,800 --> 01:35:58,240 Speaker 1: way out of a paper bag. It was terrible. I mean, 1725 01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:05,480 Speaker 1: just clock management, snaff foods, I mean unforced mental error penalties. 1726 01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:07,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if I could have. I don't know 1727 01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:10,439 Speaker 1: if I can recall a team that looked as poorly 1728 01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:14,479 Speaker 1: prepared as that team did, and the lack of urgency 1729 01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:18,639 Speaker 1: Steve even after Prescott has tackled to the ground. He's 1730 01:36:18,680 --> 01:36:22,040 Speaker 1: trying to get up quickly to spot the ball. He 1731 01:36:22,040 --> 01:36:23,760 Speaker 1: should have handed it to the official, as he said. 1732 01:36:23,880 --> 01:36:28,040 Speaker 1: But even after that, there are guys that were downfield 1733 01:36:28,120 --> 01:36:32,240 Speaker 1: receivers walking back to the line of scrimmage. It's like, 1734 01:36:32,439 --> 01:36:36,200 Speaker 1: you got four seconds, bro, what are you doing? And okay. 1735 01:36:36,200 --> 01:36:38,200 Speaker 1: So that's the Cowboys end of it. On the other 1736 01:36:38,240 --> 01:36:41,200 Speaker 1: side of it, the Niners have got fourth and an inch, 1737 01:36:41,439 --> 01:36:44,200 Speaker 1: literally an inch to get the first down to put 1738 01:36:44,200 --> 01:36:48,799 Speaker 1: the game away. Garoppolo snaps the ball before the offensive 1739 01:36:48,800 --> 01:36:51,400 Speaker 1: lineman or even in their stands penalty. Now it's fourth 1740 01:36:51,439 --> 01:36:57,280 Speaker 1: and five. That's why I said, I said it four times. 1741 01:36:58,120 --> 01:37:00,000 Speaker 1: I don't know who wants to win this game, less 1742 01:37:00,439 --> 01:37:04,120 Speaker 1: and Niners or the Cowboys. Unbelievable. We had to get 1743 01:37:04,120 --> 01:37:06,760 Speaker 1: that off our chest there because that was just that 1744 01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:10,040 Speaker 1: said football back almost thirty years. That game. It was terrible. 1745 01:37:10,840 --> 01:37:12,639 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I don't know how I stayed 1746 01:37:12,640 --> 01:37:14,800 Speaker 1: with it to the end. I think I just it 1747 01:37:14,920 --> 01:37:18,600 Speaker 1: was like one of those fiery train wrecks that you 1748 01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:20,680 Speaker 1: just had to see what happened at the end more 1749 01:37:20,680 --> 01:37:22,559 Speaker 1: than anything else. All Right, we have to take a 1750 01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:27,160 Speaker 1: break when we come back, we'll talk about better execution, 1751 01:37:27,520 --> 01:37:31,880 Speaker 1: better performance, and quite frankly, outright domination. We're gonna talk 1752 01:37:31,880 --> 01:37:34,320 Speaker 1: about Saturday night's game with Eric Wood, who called it 1753 01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:37,519 Speaker 1: from the radio booth. We'll have him join us next 1754 01:37:37,560 --> 01:37:40,599 Speaker 1: in our number three Here on a Buffalo victory Monday 1755 01:37:40,640 --> 01:37:42,599 Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Kaloid of Health.

He was kind of a dual 1758 01:38:05,040 --> 01:38:11,960 Speaker 1: role fighter. Steve a blimp. We're not even in the 1759 01:38:11,960 --> 01:38:20,000 Speaker 1: scredit fear of normalcy. As your offensive lineman, Tommy Doyle 1760 01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:22,320 Speaker 1: in the game, the last couple of snaps. Man that 1761 01:38:22,479 --> 01:38:24,640 Speaker 1: sometimes where you get that big man touchdown, you're up 1762 01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:26,479 Speaker 1: thirty points. You want to throw one of those oliment 1763 01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:29,160 Speaker 1: the bone, throw them a passier Murph. They have Feliciano 1764 01:38:29,240 --> 01:38:32,040 Speaker 1: in the game too, as an extra offensive lineman. He 1765 01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:34,559 Speaker 1: goes as a tackle right side. Here we go, Bill's 1766 01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:37,880 Speaker 1: high formation, Jack Moss the tailback, the snap, Josh keeps 1767 01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:39,760 Speaker 1: it off, play action fires to the end zone.

They are pornan on Now. 1770 01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:52,160 Speaker 1: This game's out of control, it is. And I love 1771 01:38:52,240 --> 01:38:54,519 Speaker 1: Priyan day Ball. I love how he gets those old 1772 01:38:54,520 --> 01:38:57,000 Speaker 1: lineman involved and gives them a bone every now and 1773 01:38:57,040 --> 01:38:59,519 Speaker 1: then you're up thirty points. Let one of the old 1774 01:38:59,520 --> 01:39:02,320 Speaker 1: lineman do it, and you give your rookie offensive linement. 1775 01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:06,120 Speaker 1: Tommy Doyle is first touchdown of his career, maybe of 1776 01:39:06,160 --> 01:39:10,000 Speaker 1: his lifetime. All right, Eric would playing a little nostre 1777 01:39:10,080 --> 01:39:14,000 Speaker 1: damis on Saturday night's game, as he called the Tommy 1778 01:39:14,120 --> 01:39:17,200 Speaker 1: Doyle touchdown, a big man calling a big man touchdown. 1779 01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:21,800 Speaker 1: Go figure, Eric, welcome in. I want to start here 1780 01:39:22,320 --> 01:39:25,320 Speaker 1: right away. Good call, by the way on that, thank you. 1781 01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:29,360 Speaker 1: I want to start right here. So many things were 1782 01:39:29,400 --> 01:39:33,519 Speaker 1: so impressive about Buffalo's performance. If you had to put 1783 01:39:33,720 --> 01:39:37,559 Speaker 1: one aspect of the performance at the top of the 1784 01:39:37,720 --> 01:39:42,200 Speaker 1: list from Saturday night, what carries the day for you? 1785 01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:45,240 Speaker 1: At the top of the list of performance excellence there 1786 01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:48,320 Speaker 1: I think at the top of the list, it's got 1787 01:39:48,320 --> 01:39:50,280 Speaker 1: to be Josh Allen. And it's easy to say because 1788 01:39:50,280 --> 01:39:53,200 Speaker 1: it is the quarterback and that's the most important position 1789 01:39:53,240 --> 01:39:55,479 Speaker 1: in sports. He's the biggest star on the team. It 1790 01:39:55,520 --> 01:39:57,200 Speaker 1: would be easy to say him. But when you look 1791 01:39:57,240 --> 01:40:00,160 Speaker 1: back at what he did in just his growth, his 1792 01:40:00,320 --> 01:40:04,880 Speaker 1: three playoff appearances, now he makes it. You have the 1793 01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:06,880 Speaker 1: lost down in Houston where he just tried to do 1794 01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:10,000 Speaker 1: too much that that first time getting in, and just 1795 01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:12,439 Speaker 1: the growth over these last couple of years to get 1796 01:40:12,479 --> 01:40:15,120 Speaker 1: to the point where he's so comfortable out there, and 1797 01:40:15,160 --> 01:40:18,040 Speaker 1: we weren't sure exactly how easily they were gonna be 1798 01:40:18,040 --> 01:40:20,720 Speaker 1: able to even throw the football in those you know, 1799 01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:25,040 Speaker 1: sub winchill, a sub zero degree winchill out there. So 1800 01:40:25,240 --> 01:40:27,200 Speaker 1: for him to put that performance out there the way 1801 01:40:27,200 --> 01:40:29,720 Speaker 1: he did to me was the most impressive. Yeah, I 1802 01:40:29,720 --> 01:40:33,400 Speaker 1: think I'll agree with you there. Every time something comes 1803 01:40:33,479 --> 01:40:35,639 Speaker 1: up with one of these games where Josh Allen can't 1804 01:40:35,680 --> 01:40:38,360 Speaker 1: play in the cold, Josh Allen can't you know, can't 1805 01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:41,280 Speaker 1: throw accurately, he can't you know, complete a lot of passes. 1806 01:40:41,320 --> 01:40:44,320 Speaker 1: He can't do this. Every time he's that has come up, 1807 01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:46,439 Speaker 1: and this time there were people saying, hey, he's not 1808 01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:49,040 Speaker 1: very good in cold weather. Man. He shuts him up 1809 01:40:49,160 --> 01:40:53,519 Speaker 1: like that week. This is another one of those instances, 1810 01:40:53,560 --> 01:40:56,639 Speaker 1: and it's hard to imagine that game offensively going any 1811 01:40:56,680 --> 01:40:58,559 Speaker 1: better than it did for the Buffalo Bills. Well, they 1812 01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:02,120 Speaker 1: could have scored like seven touchdowns on one play drives, 1813 01:41:02,160 --> 01:41:05,519 Speaker 1: but you know, I mean, they just absolutely dismantled that defense. 1814 01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:06,960 Speaker 1: And I'll say this, and you might have noticed it 1815 01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:09,400 Speaker 1: as well. When I was on the sidelines after Dawson 1816 01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:13,640 Speaker 1: Knox caught his second touchdown, you could sense something in 1817 01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:17,920 Speaker 1: the Patriots goal away. They their body language was different. 1818 01:41:18,720 --> 01:41:20,800 Speaker 1: I think they lacked a little bit of faith that 1819 01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:23,240 Speaker 1: Mac Jones and that offense was going to be able 1820 01:41:23,280 --> 01:41:26,280 Speaker 1: to bounce back and score more than two touchdowns before 1821 01:41:26,320 --> 01:41:27,840 Speaker 1: the Bills scored again. You know what I mean. I 1822 01:41:27,880 --> 01:41:30,800 Speaker 1: just think something happened when the Bills went up on 1823 01:41:30,840 --> 01:41:35,439 Speaker 1: their first two drives, two straight touchdowns, and there was 1824 01:41:35,479 --> 01:41:38,160 Speaker 1: something in the body language and everything about the Patriots 1825 01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:42,000 Speaker 1: that changed. Oh yeah, And those are miserable conditions to 1826 01:41:42,040 --> 01:41:44,840 Speaker 1: be out there playing in. So when you have that 1827 01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:47,400 Speaker 1: crowd that is just continuing to wear on you, when 1828 01:41:47,439 --> 01:41:49,599 Speaker 1: you have an offense that you haven't even come close 1829 01:41:49,640 --> 01:41:52,040 Speaker 1: to stopping yet, when you have a defense for the 1830 01:41:52,080 --> 01:41:55,280 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills that is essentially just shutting down any attempts. 1831 01:41:55,320 --> 01:41:57,160 Speaker 1: You think you got a wide open touchdown in the 1832 01:41:57,160 --> 01:41:59,519 Speaker 1: first drive of the game, Micah Hyde steals that ball 1833 01:41:59,560 --> 01:42:02,800 Speaker 1: at a minute air. That is completely deflating. And that's 1834 01:42:02,840 --> 01:42:06,000 Speaker 1: no shot on the character of the guys over there. 1835 01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:09,840 Speaker 1: It's reality. When you're on a sideline and that's where 1836 01:42:09,840 --> 01:42:13,360 Speaker 1: you're sitting, it is deflating. So yes, you were down 1837 01:42:13,400 --> 01:42:15,120 Speaker 1: on the field, I'm sure you could feel it just 1838 01:42:15,200 --> 01:42:18,720 Speaker 1: in their body language and their mannerisms out there on 1839 01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:22,080 Speaker 1: the field. So yes, it's not surprising for that to 1840 01:42:22,120 --> 01:42:25,559 Speaker 1: be the case. And you know, all week we talked 1841 01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:28,519 Speaker 1: about how the Bills are the better team in this game. 1842 01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:31,240 Speaker 1: They had the much better roster, with the weather playoff 1843 01:42:31,240 --> 01:42:34,360 Speaker 1: factor this time. Could Bill Belichick do something crazy in 1844 01:42:34,360 --> 01:42:38,040 Speaker 1: the playoffs to get a win. Well it none of 1845 01:42:38,080 --> 01:42:40,840 Speaker 1: that came true, and the and the better team was victorious. 1846 01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:43,439 Speaker 1: I know that. You know, I asked you for something 1847 01:42:43,439 --> 01:42:45,400 Speaker 1: at the top of the list, and you mentioned an 1848 01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:48,000 Speaker 1: individual player, and I understand why you mentioned Josh Allen 1849 01:42:48,080 --> 01:42:52,040 Speaker 1: from a team perspective. The most impressive thing for me, 1850 01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:55,920 Speaker 1: Eric was six for six in the red zone against 1851 01:42:55,920 --> 01:42:59,760 Speaker 1: the number two red zone defense in football. And what 1852 01:43:00,120 --> 01:43:04,719 Speaker 1: this run game has done for their effectiveness down there 1853 01:43:05,360 --> 01:43:08,760 Speaker 1: in the red area has been remarkable. I mean it 1854 01:43:08,880 --> 01:43:14,920 Speaker 1: has turned them into a complete scoring juggernaut inside the twenty, 1855 01:43:15,040 --> 01:43:18,640 Speaker 1: and it's defenses are going to be hard pressed to 1856 01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:21,160 Speaker 1: come up with the right answer on the right play 1857 01:43:21,760 --> 01:43:25,080 Speaker 1: at the right time. Like, I don't know how you 1858 01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:27,639 Speaker 1: stop what looks like a freight train going downhill here, 1859 01:43:29,080 --> 01:43:32,160 Speaker 1: You're right, and I mean, I go for six for six, 1860 01:43:32,160 --> 01:43:34,240 Speaker 1: And maybe Josh Allen let the cot out of the 1861 01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:36,559 Speaker 1: bag by saying that he was trying to throw that 1862 01:43:36,600 --> 01:43:38,960 Speaker 1: ball away on the first possession, or maybe they would 1863 01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:41,240 Speaker 1: have had to settle for three there, which are we 1864 01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:43,400 Speaker 1: even sure he's being dead serious? I guess based upon 1865 01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:46,320 Speaker 1: his facial reactions he is being serious. But man, that 1866 01:43:46,479 --> 01:43:49,400 Speaker 1: that's not a very aggressive throwaway if you're truly trying 1867 01:43:49,439 --> 01:43:50,960 Speaker 1: to throw it out the back of the end zone. 1868 01:43:51,280 --> 01:43:54,639 Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, the biggest difference in the first 1869 01:43:54,680 --> 01:43:57,240 Speaker 1: game of the year where the Patriots defeated the Bills 1870 01:43:57,240 --> 01:44:00,360 Speaker 1: in Orchard Park, you know, in a fourteen to ten game, 1871 01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:03,080 Speaker 1: is the fact that the Bills went won for four 1872 01:44:03,120 --> 01:44:04,920 Speaker 1: in the red zone. And a lot of games in 1873 01:44:04,960 --> 01:44:06,640 Speaker 1: the NFL, if you look at a score sheet act 1874 01:44:06,680 --> 01:44:08,759 Speaker 1: of the game and you look at red zone touchdown 1875 01:44:08,760 --> 01:44:11,559 Speaker 1: percentage and turnovers, a lot of times that'll tell you 1876 01:44:11,640 --> 01:44:14,960 Speaker 1: the story. And so, yes, this is a Patriots team 1877 01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:17,559 Speaker 1: that has been successful. You're in the red zone and 1878 01:44:17,560 --> 01:44:19,639 Speaker 1: that's part of the reason they were ten and seven 1879 01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:22,720 Speaker 1: coming into the playoffs, even with a rookie quarterback and 1880 01:44:22,840 --> 01:44:25,519 Speaker 1: not a ton of offensive firepower. Yeah. The thing about 1881 01:44:25,600 --> 01:44:27,720 Speaker 1: josh Aden was throwing that football away when I was 1882 01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:30,320 Speaker 1: on the sidelines and was actually on the same sideline 1883 01:44:30,320 --> 01:44:32,120 Speaker 1: where he threw it, and I was standing between him 1884 01:44:32,160 --> 01:44:34,320 Speaker 1: and where Dawson caught it, so I was I was 1885 01:44:34,360 --> 01:44:37,439 Speaker 1: like ten yards from each one of them, and when 1886 01:44:37,520 --> 01:44:39,200 Speaker 1: Dawson caught it, you know, it catches your attention. You 1887 01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:40,920 Speaker 1: kind of watch those guys celebrate. You look for the 1888 01:44:40,960 --> 01:44:42,960 Speaker 1: signal only get a touchdown. Then I look over at 1889 01:44:43,040 --> 01:44:46,160 Speaker 1: josh and I knew that josh kind of got nicked 1890 01:44:46,160 --> 01:44:47,400 Speaker 1: on the way out of bounds. He got hit and 1891 01:44:47,400 --> 01:44:50,640 Speaker 1: there was and they announced no penalty for roughing the quarterback. 1892 01:44:51,400 --> 01:44:53,439 Speaker 1: So I thought, wow, he must have taken a shot, 1893 01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:57,400 Speaker 1: and I thought he was playing off something that really 1894 01:44:57,439 --> 01:45:00,519 Speaker 1: heard him because he was not celebrating at all. And 1895 01:45:00,560 --> 01:45:02,920 Speaker 1: we thought on our broadcast, we're kind of keeping an 1896 01:45:02,920 --> 01:45:04,640 Speaker 1: eye on that stuff on the sideline reporter. You know, 1897 01:45:04,640 --> 01:45:07,519 Speaker 1: you're watching for the stuff nobody's looking at. I thought 1898 01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:10,679 Speaker 1: Josh was really hurt and was trying to play it off, 1899 01:45:11,200 --> 01:45:13,720 Speaker 1: like to get off the field, go over and sit 1900 01:45:13,760 --> 01:45:15,040 Speaker 1: down and says, hey, you gotta look at this. I 1901 01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:17,759 Speaker 1: don't want anybody to know. But I got hurt because 1902 01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:20,320 Speaker 1: he was not happy. He wasn't like jumping up, and 1903 01:45:20,479 --> 01:45:23,400 Speaker 1: he doesn't like didn't no high fives, know nothing. We 1904 01:45:23,520 --> 01:45:26,960 Speaker 1: thought he was really nicked, and because also on the 1905 01:45:27,080 --> 01:45:29,080 Speaker 1: nineteen yard run he kind of met had a funky 1906 01:45:29,120 --> 01:45:31,400 Speaker 1: hop out of bounds, hopping over some cores, and he 1907 01:45:31,439 --> 01:45:33,840 Speaker 1: hopped on one leg twice and I thought, man, he 1908 01:45:33,920 --> 01:45:36,680 Speaker 1: pulled a hammy. So we were all we were like 1909 01:45:36,720 --> 01:45:40,760 Speaker 1: all pins and needles, thinking he physically something's up with him. 1910 01:45:41,400 --> 01:45:43,400 Speaker 1: And we were talking back and forth in the talk back, 1911 01:45:43,640 --> 01:45:45,639 Speaker 1: thinking that's what happened. Then at the end of the game, 1912 01:45:45,680 --> 01:45:46,800 Speaker 1: he says, I was trying to throw it away. I 1913 01:45:46,800 --> 01:45:51,960 Speaker 1: didn't even I couldn't figure out what happened. I was like, oh, no, wonder, no, wonder, 1914 01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:53,800 Speaker 1: you look, you know, like you didn't know where you 1915 01:45:53,840 --> 01:45:56,479 Speaker 1: were or what was going on because you didn't, you know, 1916 01:45:57,200 --> 01:46:00,320 Speaker 1: So I think it was real. He was trying to 1917 01:46:00,320 --> 01:46:01,840 Speaker 1: throw away and when he let it go, I was 1918 01:46:01,920 --> 01:46:03,559 Speaker 1: standing right there. I go, yeah, that's out of here. 1919 01:46:03,840 --> 01:46:07,479 Speaker 1: You know, that's that's the and then just one more 1920 01:46:07,520 --> 01:46:09,479 Speaker 1: thing to your point on the red zone success, Chris. 1921 01:46:09,479 --> 01:46:11,880 Speaker 1: In this run game, you know, Devin Singletary looks like 1922 01:46:11,920 --> 01:46:14,840 Speaker 1: a completely different player since they've made him the feature back. 1923 01:46:14,880 --> 01:46:18,080 Speaker 1: I don't know that it made him more patient because 1924 01:46:18,080 --> 01:46:20,400 Speaker 1: he doesn't feel like he needs to hit everything downhill. 1925 01:46:20,640 --> 01:46:22,880 Speaker 1: If he if he is too patient, and maybe it's 1926 01:46:22,880 --> 01:46:25,040 Speaker 1: a one yard loss because he's trying to bounce something 1927 01:46:25,080 --> 01:46:29,080 Speaker 1: outside that maybe that you know earlier in the year 1928 01:46:29,080 --> 01:46:31,080 Speaker 1: he's thinking, well, now I'm gonna get benched if I 1929 01:46:31,160 --> 01:46:34,559 Speaker 1: do something like that. Him knowing I'm getting essentially all 1930 01:46:34,560 --> 01:46:36,639 Speaker 1: the carries from the running back position, that has made 1931 01:46:36,720 --> 01:46:39,400 Speaker 1: him a totally different player. And then watching the forty 1932 01:46:39,439 --> 01:46:43,679 Speaker 1: nine ers yesterday with Deebo Samuel in the backfield reminded 1933 01:46:43,720 --> 01:46:45,400 Speaker 1: me a lot of what they've been doing with Isaiah 1934 01:46:45,479 --> 01:46:48,560 Speaker 1: McKenzie in the backfield. A lot of off tackle runs 1935 01:46:48,560 --> 01:46:51,800 Speaker 1: stretch the defense sideline, the sideline where Devin Singletary doesn't 1936 01:46:51,800 --> 01:46:54,439 Speaker 1: necessarily have that elite speed for you and neither does 1937 01:46:54,520 --> 01:46:57,200 Speaker 1: Zach Moss. You bring in Isaiah McKenzie and he's got 1938 01:46:57,240 --> 01:47:00,360 Speaker 1: three rushes in the game for twenty nine yards himself. Yeah, 1939 01:47:00,439 --> 01:47:03,720 Speaker 1: and talk about the rushing attack. See if you can 1940 01:47:03,880 --> 01:47:07,920 Speaker 1: encapsulate what happened with the offensive line when Bates comes in. 1941 01:47:08,160 --> 01:47:10,680 Speaker 1: Now you've got both tackles slivid. Now they're not. They 1942 01:47:10,720 --> 01:47:14,559 Speaker 1: stopped shuffling and start stopped experimenting about a month ago. 1943 01:47:15,400 --> 01:47:17,960 Speaker 1: How much a difference that makes for these guys upfront 1944 01:47:18,040 --> 01:47:22,200 Speaker 1: from your playing days And what do you see that's different? Well, 1945 01:47:22,240 --> 01:47:23,880 Speaker 1: I'll say this, you know, I think we found out 1946 01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:26,200 Speaker 1: earlier in the year that Darryl Williams at right guard 1947 01:47:26,280 --> 01:47:28,040 Speaker 1: and Spencer Brown at right tackle was going to be 1948 01:47:28,080 --> 01:47:30,960 Speaker 1: our best combination on the right side. Dion Dawkins came 1949 01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:34,360 Speaker 1: into the season hampered by the original COVID diagnosis, then 1950 01:47:34,439 --> 01:47:37,559 Speaker 1: gets another one Spencer Brown head a COVID diagnosis. At 1951 01:47:37,560 --> 01:47:40,760 Speaker 1: one point, you're shuffling around that left guard position, and 1952 01:47:40,840 --> 01:47:42,800 Speaker 1: I think you're seeing a couple of things. One, Ryan 1953 01:47:42,840 --> 01:47:45,080 Speaker 1: Bates is playing great. He truly is. I talked to 1954 01:47:45,120 --> 01:47:48,080 Speaker 1: Brian day Ball about him personally. He said, Look, he's smart, 1955 01:47:48,160 --> 01:47:51,040 Speaker 1: he's tough, and he can move. Guys like that you 1956 01:47:51,080 --> 01:47:53,040 Speaker 1: can win with in this league, and that's what we're 1957 01:47:53,080 --> 01:47:55,719 Speaker 1: seeing from Ryan Bates. I also think you're seeing Dion 1958 01:47:55,800 --> 01:47:58,559 Speaker 1: Dawkins really coming to his own at left tackle, doing 1959 01:47:58,600 --> 01:48:02,519 Speaker 1: some things create highlights out on the edge where you 1960 01:48:02,560 --> 01:48:05,519 Speaker 1: don't see those oftentimes in the NFL because guys are 1961 01:48:05,560 --> 01:48:08,160 Speaker 1: so good it's hard to just literally throw them out 1962 01:48:08,160 --> 01:48:10,160 Speaker 1: of bounds or throw them on their back. And then 1963 01:48:10,200 --> 01:48:12,880 Speaker 1: you're seeing Spencer Brown get more and more experiences the 1964 01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:15,599 Speaker 1: season's got on, so he's played better and better. Mitch 1965 01:48:15,680 --> 01:48:18,439 Speaker 1: Morris has been pretty consistent throughout that entire season. In 1966 01:48:18,479 --> 01:48:22,360 Speaker 1: the middle. We mentioned Tommy Doyle at the top, and 1967 01:48:22,439 --> 01:48:25,840 Speaker 1: he is now you know, for all intents and purposes, 1968 01:48:26,360 --> 01:48:28,880 Speaker 1: the second tight end as an extra tackle and they 1969 01:48:29,200 --> 01:48:33,360 Speaker 1: went twenty two. Some people call it XT for extra tackle, 1970 01:48:33,400 --> 01:48:36,439 Speaker 1: but they went twenty two XT a good amount of 1971 01:48:36,439 --> 01:48:39,599 Speaker 1: the time in the course of that game, whether it's 1972 01:48:39,640 --> 01:48:45,320 Speaker 1: short yardage or other down and distances. I foresee this 1973 01:48:45,640 --> 01:48:48,400 Speaker 1: continuing through the playoffs here, Eric, there's no reason to 1974 01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:51,400 Speaker 1: not use it when it gets an even better push 1975 01:48:51,479 --> 01:48:54,680 Speaker 1: off the line than the regular five are. Yeah, it 1976 01:48:54,680 --> 01:48:56,280 Speaker 1: makes a big difference. I don't care how good of 1977 01:48:56,320 --> 01:48:58,840 Speaker 1: a blocking tight end you are. And even Lee Smith, 1978 01:48:58,840 --> 01:49:01,639 Speaker 1: who's a huge tight end and six five, six six, 1979 01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:05,640 Speaker 1: maybe two seventy ish, there's not a big you know, 1980 01:49:05,680 --> 01:49:08,719 Speaker 1: there's still a big difference. When you're talking six six 1981 01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:11,800 Speaker 1: three twenty from Tommy Doyle, you're putting a ton of 1982 01:49:11,800 --> 01:49:14,040 Speaker 1: size on the field. You're talking about someone who is 1983 01:49:14,080 --> 01:49:16,639 Speaker 1: trained to block all the time. And so, yes, they've 1984 01:49:16,720 --> 01:49:20,680 Speaker 1: utilized that personnel group with tremendous success lately. It's been 1985 01:49:20,760 --> 01:49:23,120 Speaker 1: successful in short yards and they've busted it out on 1986 01:49:23,439 --> 01:49:25,960 Speaker 1: first and ten, and it puts stress on a defense. 1987 01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:29,320 Speaker 1: And one of the things that has been especially in 1988 01:49:29,400 --> 01:49:32,000 Speaker 1: the last game, when you get your receiving corps all 1989 01:49:32,040 --> 01:49:34,719 Speaker 1: back together for maybe the first time this season, because 1990 01:49:34,760 --> 01:49:36,559 Speaker 1: even when they were all healthy at the beginning of 1991 01:49:36,560 --> 01:49:39,720 Speaker 1: the year, Gabe Davis tweaked that ankle early on. And 1992 01:49:39,880 --> 01:49:43,599 Speaker 1: now you're seeing guys truly like Isaiah McKenzie really step up, 1993 01:49:43,640 --> 01:49:46,759 Speaker 1: Gabe Davis truly step up. It was it was truly 1994 01:49:46,800 --> 01:49:49,200 Speaker 1: fun to watch what they were doing with a personnel 1995 01:49:49,280 --> 01:49:52,120 Speaker 1: standpoint and just how much stress that puts on a defense. 1996 01:49:52,439 --> 01:49:53,840 Speaker 1: One of the things now that we you know, we 1997 01:49:53,920 --> 01:49:56,519 Speaker 1: kind of talked ourselves to death about the Patriots. We 1998 01:49:57,160 --> 01:49:58,960 Speaker 1: I want to get your thought about this next game 1999 01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:02,920 Speaker 1: coming up a against the Kansas City Chiefs. It's It's 2000 01:50:02,960 --> 01:50:05,559 Speaker 1: always been my take that the Bills were good enough 2001 01:50:05,600 --> 01:50:09,640 Speaker 1: to beat the Chiefs last year, but they played a 2002 01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:12,479 Speaker 1: bad game. That their first bad game in two months 2003 01:50:12,560 --> 01:50:15,160 Speaker 1: up to that time, and the Kansas City Chiefs played 2004 01:50:15,160 --> 01:50:18,400 Speaker 1: their best game in two months on that night. And 2005 01:50:18,439 --> 01:50:21,880 Speaker 1: I would say more so, this team, this year's edition 2006 01:50:21,880 --> 01:50:24,400 Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills, is a better football team overall, 2007 01:50:25,400 --> 01:50:31,680 Speaker 1: markedly better all over the roster than last year's was. 2008 01:50:32,120 --> 01:50:33,760 Speaker 1: I s think it. I think it still comes down 2009 01:50:33,840 --> 01:50:37,080 Speaker 1: to the fact that they're good enough to beat the Chiefs, 2010 01:50:37,320 --> 01:50:40,840 Speaker 1: but these they got to play well to do it. Yeah, 2011 01:50:40,920 --> 01:50:42,760 Speaker 1: you're exactly right. And this is a Chiefs team that 2012 01:50:43,240 --> 01:50:46,160 Speaker 1: has had so much success in the postseason, trying to 2013 01:50:46,240 --> 01:50:49,120 Speaker 1: become one of only what four teams to make three 2014 01:50:49,160 --> 01:50:52,519 Speaker 1: consecutive Super Bowl Steve, you played on one of those obviously, 2015 01:50:52,600 --> 01:50:54,600 Speaker 1: with the four straight in Buffalo. But you know this 2016 01:50:55,160 --> 01:50:57,439 Speaker 1: Chiefs team is used to playing big time ball in 2017 01:50:57,520 --> 01:51:01,559 Speaker 1: the playoffs. They completely beat down on the Steelers last night, 2018 01:51:01,640 --> 01:51:05,120 Speaker 1: which you know, we're all hoping for a home playoff 2019 01:51:05,200 --> 01:51:09,679 Speaker 1: game again this week for the Bills, and there wasn't 2020 01:51:09,680 --> 01:51:11,840 Speaker 1: a whole lot of hope of that even with that 2021 01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:14,920 Speaker 1: early fumble returned by t J. Watt. But you know, 2022 01:51:16,280 --> 01:51:21,439 Speaker 1: this Buffalo Bills team is built, is built and was 2023 01:51:21,560 --> 01:51:23,880 Speaker 1: built to go against the Kansas City Chiefs, similar to 2024 01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:26,400 Speaker 1: when I was playing and it was New England was 2025 01:51:26,479 --> 01:51:28,439 Speaker 1: the litmus test in the league, and they had those 2026 01:51:28,479 --> 01:51:30,560 Speaker 1: athletic tight ends and you had to be able to 2027 01:51:30,760 --> 01:51:33,519 Speaker 1: have safeties and linebackers. I can run with those guys. 2028 01:51:33,560 --> 01:51:36,440 Speaker 1: You kind of schemed your defense to play with the Patriots, 2029 01:51:36,680 --> 01:51:38,879 Speaker 1: and you schemed your team to play with the Patriots. 2030 01:51:38,960 --> 01:51:41,040 Speaker 1: Now it's the Chiefs, and that's where you see this 2031 01:51:41,200 --> 01:51:44,240 Speaker 1: Bills team primarily playing nickel personnel. You add these pass 2032 01:51:44,360 --> 01:51:47,439 Speaker 1: rushers and then you add a running attack in the 2033 01:51:47,520 --> 01:51:49,880 Speaker 1: off season, Brandon being in Sho McDermot as soon as 2034 01:51:49,920 --> 01:51:51,360 Speaker 1: the season ended last year. So we have to be 2035 01:51:51,400 --> 01:51:53,320 Speaker 1: able to run the ball better. Well, big reason for 2036 01:51:53,360 --> 01:51:54,920 Speaker 1: that is you got to keep the Chiefs off the 2037 01:51:55,080 --> 01:51:58,040 Speaker 1: field at times two and then it also helps your offense. 2038 01:51:58,160 --> 01:52:02,400 Speaker 1: But they looked impressive last night. Obviously they were fun 2039 01:52:02,479 --> 01:52:05,080 Speaker 1: to watch. The Bills were extremely fun to watch. It's 2040 01:52:05,160 --> 01:52:08,040 Speaker 1: not surprising to me that they flex this or that 2041 01:52:08,160 --> 01:52:11,360 Speaker 1: this is going to be the night game on Sunday. 2042 01:52:11,760 --> 01:52:13,920 Speaker 1: You know, they want to push the ratings for that game. Now, 2043 01:52:14,040 --> 01:52:17,520 Speaker 1: my sleep schedule has truly suffered with all these primetime 2044 01:52:17,600 --> 01:52:21,679 Speaker 1: games lately, But it's fun with the Bills under the lights. 2045 01:52:21,720 --> 01:52:23,880 Speaker 1: And you know when you when you look at this 2046 01:52:24,080 --> 01:52:26,960 Speaker 1: matchup and you guys got all weeks to do it. 2047 01:52:27,040 --> 01:52:29,479 Speaker 1: But to me, kind of two of the key factors 2048 01:52:29,640 --> 01:52:32,479 Speaker 1: is one, the last time you played the Chiefs, they 2049 01:52:32,520 --> 01:52:36,599 Speaker 1: were without Chris Jones, they're likely their best defensive player, 2050 01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:41,200 Speaker 1: and we were with Tradevious White, likely our best defensive 2051 01:52:41,200 --> 01:52:43,040 Speaker 1: player on our team who will be out for this one. 2052 01:52:43,600 --> 01:52:45,920 Speaker 1: Do those play a big enough factor to be an 2053 01:52:46,000 --> 01:52:50,400 Speaker 1: eighteen point difference? Who knows? Yeah? And taking it a 2054 01:52:50,479 --> 01:52:56,120 Speaker 1: step further, you know the Chiefs they got a young 2055 01:52:56,280 --> 01:53:00,760 Speaker 1: rookie linebacker Nick Bolton, who has really off in the 2056 01:53:00,880 --> 01:53:03,960 Speaker 1: second half of the season. He has been a key 2057 01:53:04,080 --> 01:53:08,280 Speaker 1: cog is as to why that defense kind of rediscovered 2058 01:53:08,320 --> 01:53:11,200 Speaker 1: itself and is playing much better football than at the 2059 01:53:11,280 --> 01:53:14,040 Speaker 1: time when they played the Bills, when they didn't know 2060 01:53:14,160 --> 01:53:16,320 Speaker 1: their rear end from a hole in the ground. Early 2061 01:53:16,360 --> 01:53:18,120 Speaker 1: in the season, they couldn't stop anybody. I mean, they 2062 01:53:18,160 --> 01:53:21,840 Speaker 1: were like thirty first in points aloud, and they've really 2063 01:53:21,960 --> 01:53:23,760 Speaker 1: kind of turned it around, and they've done it by 2064 01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:26,200 Speaker 1: blitzing effectively a good deal of the time as well. 2065 01:53:26,800 --> 01:53:29,799 Speaker 1: So I'm not anticipating Josh to have the same amount 2066 01:53:29,800 --> 01:53:32,040 Speaker 1: of time to survey the field this week as he 2067 01:53:32,120 --> 01:53:34,320 Speaker 1: did last week. I'm sure the Bills will be prepared 2068 01:53:34,400 --> 01:53:36,320 Speaker 1: for that. The last thing I wanted to throw at you, 2069 01:53:36,520 --> 01:53:41,080 Speaker 1: Eric was, as you mentioned earlier, the Bills receiving corps 2070 01:53:41,520 --> 01:53:46,080 Speaker 1: completely healthy. They had six receivers up on Saturday night 2071 01:53:46,640 --> 01:53:49,599 Speaker 1: and it was the heaviest rotation we have seen at 2072 01:53:49,600 --> 01:53:53,560 Speaker 1: the position all season long. It was reminiscent of what 2073 01:53:53,720 --> 01:53:56,640 Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier does with the defensive line rotation, but it 2074 01:53:56,880 --> 01:54:02,360 Speaker 1: worked really, really well. Could you see that going forward 2075 01:54:02,520 --> 01:54:06,040 Speaker 1: where they're just kind of rolling people through. I understand 2076 01:54:06,160 --> 01:54:08,240 Speaker 1: maybe you have digs on the field more in a 2077 01:54:08,320 --> 01:54:10,679 Speaker 1: tighter game. They didn't have to do that this week, 2078 01:54:10,800 --> 01:54:16,200 Speaker 1: but just your thoughts on that very liberal receiver rotation. Yeah, 2079 01:54:16,360 --> 01:54:20,240 Speaker 1: I think you definitely will see that. And when you 2080 01:54:20,320 --> 01:54:22,559 Speaker 1: look at what the Bills have done with the receiving 2081 01:54:22,600 --> 01:54:25,599 Speaker 1: corps this year, especially down the stretch where they're trying 2082 01:54:25,640 --> 01:54:28,559 Speaker 1: to get Emmanuel Sanders healthy. And then he shows up 2083 01:54:28,600 --> 01:54:31,280 Speaker 1: in the game and he scores a touchdown and when 2084 01:54:31,360 --> 01:54:35,920 Speaker 1: you know, Josh alluded to the fact that maybe they 2085 01:54:35,960 --> 01:54:38,760 Speaker 1: weren't giving digs maybe the amount of catches this year 2086 01:54:38,800 --> 01:54:40,600 Speaker 1: because they wanted to make sure he was fresh for 2087 01:54:40,680 --> 01:54:42,880 Speaker 1: the postseason. Well, I showed up in a big way. 2088 01:54:42,920 --> 01:54:45,360 Speaker 1: And you talk about that wide receiver rotation on the outside, 2089 01:54:45,400 --> 01:54:47,320 Speaker 1: it was amazing to me. You know, you got Gabe 2090 01:54:47,400 --> 01:54:50,040 Speaker 1: Davis playing the highest percentage of snaps. Now, I understand 2091 01:54:50,240 --> 01:54:51,920 Speaker 1: you're running the ball a lot more in the second 2092 01:54:51,960 --> 01:54:54,640 Speaker 1: half of the lead like that, but that just shows 2093 01:54:54,720 --> 01:54:57,320 Speaker 1: you the talent. I mean, I'm not trying to sit 2094 01:54:57,360 --> 01:54:58,960 Speaker 1: here a name drop. I feel like every time I 2095 01:54:59,040 --> 01:55:01,680 Speaker 1: talked to Chris nowadays name dropping. But I was talking 2096 01:55:01,720 --> 01:55:03,560 Speaker 1: to Brandon being before the game. We're standing on the 2097 01:55:03,640 --> 01:55:07,360 Speaker 1: sideline and we were standing right next to where the 2098 01:55:07,720 --> 01:55:10,440 Speaker 1: receiving corps warming up. I looked at him, I said, 2099 01:55:10,880 --> 01:55:12,840 Speaker 1: you did a pretty good job with that room right there, 2100 01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:15,040 Speaker 1: and he goes, oh, yeah, that's a good one there. 2101 01:55:15,280 --> 01:55:17,920 Speaker 1: I mean, they are just different and they're diverse. I 2102 01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:23,560 Speaker 1: mean it's unbelievable, Like Kansas City's got excellent receivers, but 2103 01:55:23,640 --> 01:55:26,720 Speaker 1: they all kind of fit similar molds. I mean, Tyreek 2104 01:55:26,840 --> 01:55:33,200 Speaker 1: Hills really small, unbelievably elusive, but Pringle Hardman, those guys 2105 01:55:33,280 --> 01:55:35,120 Speaker 1: like they all kind of cut the same mold to me. 2106 01:55:35,520 --> 01:55:37,440 Speaker 1: I mean when you look at this Bills receiving corps, 2107 01:55:37,640 --> 01:55:40,120 Speaker 1: they're just so much diversity to it. You got, you know, 2108 01:55:40,240 --> 01:55:44,320 Speaker 1: the size with Davis, you got Burner speed with Sanders, 2109 01:55:44,560 --> 01:55:47,280 Speaker 1: you got the shiftiness of Beasley in the slot. Mackenzie 2110 01:55:47,320 --> 01:55:49,480 Speaker 1: can be a running back, he can be in the slot. 2111 01:55:49,520 --> 01:55:52,240 Speaker 1: I mean, there's just a lot of diversity. And I 2112 01:55:52,360 --> 01:55:55,320 Speaker 1: mean Jake Kumer is a guy who could have he 2113 01:55:55,440 --> 01:55:57,960 Speaker 1: could start or playing a lot of teams in this league. 2114 01:55:58,120 --> 01:56:01,840 Speaker 1: Instead for us, he's a killer on special teams and 2115 01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:05,560 Speaker 1: he plays what seven or eight plays a game on offense. Yeah. Yeah, 2116 01:56:05,640 --> 01:56:07,840 Speaker 1: it's it's a diverse group, and I think that's one 2117 01:56:07,840 --> 01:56:11,440 Speaker 1: of the reasons Brian Dabole runs them through like he does. 2118 01:56:11,800 --> 01:56:13,920 Speaker 1: They can specialize and they can attack certain parts of 2119 01:56:13,920 --> 01:56:15,840 Speaker 1: the defense that they can get matchups that they like, 2120 01:56:16,480 --> 01:56:19,760 Speaker 1: and they can experiment and until they find a combination 2121 01:56:20,040 --> 01:56:23,360 Speaker 1: that maybe the defense has no answer to. And certainly 2122 01:56:24,400 --> 01:56:28,440 Speaker 1: they found some combination or combination of thereof combinations that 2123 01:56:28,920 --> 01:56:34,200 Speaker 1: the Patriots had no answer for. The Bills were unstoppable. 2124 01:56:34,600 --> 01:56:37,080 Speaker 1: They got every single yard they could possibly get in 2125 01:56:37,160 --> 01:56:39,040 Speaker 1: the game because every time the offense took the ball, 2126 01:56:39,080 --> 01:56:41,680 Speaker 1: they went for a touchdown. However many plays it took, 2127 01:56:41,760 --> 01:56:45,920 Speaker 1: they never got stopped. So whatever was Brian dabole combinations 2128 01:56:46,000 --> 01:56:49,400 Speaker 1: he was using, it was in expressly to get the matchups. 2129 01:56:49,480 --> 01:56:52,320 Speaker 1: They wanted to make them unstoppable, and in a rare 2130 01:56:52,360 --> 01:56:55,400 Speaker 1: occasion like it was, it's last Saturday night, it worked 2131 01:56:55,720 --> 01:56:58,840 Speaker 1: to perfection, I know. And we could sit there and 2132 01:56:58,920 --> 01:57:00,920 Speaker 1: talk about the stats everything from the game. One of 2133 01:57:00,960 --> 01:57:03,440 Speaker 1: the most amazing was to be six for six on 2134 01:57:03,560 --> 01:57:07,240 Speaker 1: third down. Two reasons, that's amazing. One there one percent 2135 01:57:07,280 --> 01:57:09,880 Speaker 1: on third down that game. But there was only six 2136 01:57:09,960 --> 01:57:13,880 Speaker 1: third downs they had twenty seven. They had twenty seven 2137 01:57:13,960 --> 01:57:17,560 Speaker 1: first downs nine twenty nine first downs twenty seven offense 2138 01:57:17,600 --> 01:57:20,560 Speaker 1: and defense or by rushing and passing in two by penalty, 2139 01:57:20,640 --> 01:57:22,640 Speaker 1: twenty nine first downs. They only got to third down 2140 01:57:22,720 --> 01:57:29,920 Speaker 1: six times. Unbelievable. It's absolutely nuts. And again, Brownie, it 2141 01:57:30,080 --> 01:57:31,560 Speaker 1: was a beat down. It was a beatdown. That's my 2142 01:57:31,600 --> 01:57:33,680 Speaker 1: word of the day. I've used it about fifty times today. 2143 01:57:34,640 --> 01:57:37,240 Speaker 1: We would be remiss, Eric if we did not mention 2144 01:57:37,760 --> 01:57:42,280 Speaker 1: the very important visitor that was sitting in the club 2145 01:57:42,400 --> 01:57:44,520 Speaker 1: seats and then even made a visit to the radio 2146 01:57:44,600 --> 01:57:48,360 Speaker 1: booth and decided to take a spin at going shirtless 2147 01:57:48,680 --> 01:57:51,480 Speaker 1: in the zero degree weather. You're a good friend and 2148 01:57:51,640 --> 01:57:53,840 Speaker 1: the friend of probably every Bill's fan known to man. 2149 01:57:54,280 --> 01:57:57,840 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick in the stands with his family and then 2150 01:57:57,920 --> 01:58:01,120 Speaker 1: stop by to say hi to you. Yeah, I mean, 2151 01:58:01,240 --> 01:58:03,520 Speaker 1: that's one of my best friends. And he texted me 2152 01:58:03,560 --> 01:58:05,240 Speaker 1: earlier in the week that he was coming to the game. 2153 01:58:05,240 --> 01:58:07,800 Speaker 1: I didn't want to blow up a spot. It's funny 2154 01:58:07,840 --> 01:58:11,520 Speaker 1: to be though, because I almost because he got hurt 2155 01:58:11,640 --> 01:58:13,400 Speaker 1: in the first half of the first game this year. 2156 01:58:13,520 --> 01:58:16,520 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily even associate him as the Washington football 2157 01:58:16,520 --> 01:58:19,120 Speaker 1: team quarterback for this year. But that's the other that's 2158 01:58:19,240 --> 01:58:24,720 Speaker 1: another team's quarterback this year. He made eight figures playing 2159 01:58:24,800 --> 01:58:27,440 Speaker 1: quarterback for a different team this year and comes to 2160 01:58:27,520 --> 01:58:30,640 Speaker 1: the game and didn't come in incognito, you know what 2161 01:58:30,720 --> 01:58:32,960 Speaker 1: I mean. He came in and sat in the club 2162 01:58:33,000 --> 01:58:34,840 Speaker 1: because I said, hey, do you want me to connect 2163 01:58:34,880 --> 01:58:36,800 Speaker 1: you with a suite. Honestly, you and your son can 2164 01:58:36,840 --> 01:58:38,240 Speaker 1: sit in the back of our booth if you want. 2165 01:58:38,360 --> 01:58:40,480 Speaker 1: Knowing all bug he said, Now we're good. We're going 2166 01:58:40,560 --> 01:58:43,200 Speaker 1: with our old neighbors, some of their sons. I'm bringing 2167 01:58:43,240 --> 01:58:45,720 Speaker 1: a buddy from Jersey. You're like, we're just gonna go 2168 01:58:45,840 --> 01:58:47,320 Speaker 1: and have a good time. We're just gonna sit in 2169 01:58:47,360 --> 01:58:51,480 Speaker 1: the club. Like, that's unbelievable to me, and it doesn't 2170 01:58:51,520 --> 01:58:54,760 Speaker 1: surprise me. He took a shirt off. It would take 2171 01:58:55,840 --> 01:58:57,800 Speaker 1: for what it takes a lot of people to do 2172 01:58:58,280 --> 01:59:01,720 Speaker 1: something like twenty beers. Fits does it on zero beers. 2173 01:59:01,880 --> 01:59:04,520 Speaker 1: Like he's always been like that high on life man, 2174 01:59:04,880 --> 01:59:07,800 Speaker 1: high on life. Yeah. Good, Frankly, he's the man. He's 2175 01:59:07,840 --> 01:59:10,440 Speaker 1: the absolute man. And you know what, that just further 2176 01:59:10,600 --> 01:59:16,120 Speaker 1: solidified the status, the legendary status of Fits just in general, 2177 01:59:16,200 --> 01:59:18,960 Speaker 1: but really in Buffalo and one of my favorite things 2178 01:59:19,040 --> 01:59:21,120 Speaker 1: he ever did, yeah, talk about this year. He's the 2179 01:59:21,200 --> 01:59:23,400 Speaker 1: quarterback of the Washington football team. Well, he was the 2180 01:59:23,480 --> 01:59:25,680 Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the Miami Dolphins when he said that 2181 01:59:25,760 --> 01:59:28,080 Speaker 1: the Bills had the best fan base in football, so 2182 01:59:28,840 --> 01:59:34,520 Speaker 1: obviously he's a Bills fan. And even though he has 2183 01:59:34,600 --> 01:59:38,400 Speaker 1: made his rounds through this league. All right, Eric, as always, 2184 01:59:38,440 --> 01:59:41,520 Speaker 1: thanks for the time. We'll see out there in Kansas City. 2185 01:59:42,480 --> 01:59:44,880 Speaker 1: Sounds good, my pleasure, guys. Every great week. All right. 2186 01:59:44,920 --> 01:59:47,040 Speaker 1: That's Eric Wood joining us as he does every Monday 2187 01:59:47,120 --> 01:59:50,760 Speaker 1: after Bill's games. And we are up against the break, 2188 01:59:51,400 --> 01:59:54,000 Speaker 1: so we will step aside here. But when we come back, 2189 01:59:54,480 --> 01:59:56,320 Speaker 1: we'll see if we can go around the locker room 2190 01:59:56,360 --> 01:59:58,480 Speaker 1: get some comments from the players in case you missed 2191 01:59:58,520 --> 02:00:01,680 Speaker 1: some of those. After the b victory beat down over 2192 02:00:01,760 --> 02:00:04,920 Speaker 1: the Patriots on Saturday night, Steve and I coming back 2193 02:00:04,960 --> 02:00:06,720 Speaker 1: in a second here on One Bill's Live, presented by 2194 02:00:06,760 --> 02:00:20,200 Speaker 1: Collat of Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back 2195 02:00:20,240 --> 02:00:22,840 Speaker 1: to One Bills Live. First for as Steve Paster review, 2196 02:00:23,480 --> 02:00:26,800 Speaker 1: and we're going to take a look at the tweet sheet. 2197 02:00:27,360 --> 02:00:30,560 Speaker 1: Haven't done that yet Here on this Buffalo victory Monday 2198 02:00:30,960 --> 02:00:33,360 Speaker 1: tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the 2199 02:00:33,440 --> 02:00:38,040 Speaker 1: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Max says, 2200 02:00:38,720 --> 02:00:41,920 Speaker 1: reminded me of why we all love watching football and 2201 02:00:42,080 --> 02:00:44,600 Speaker 1: why we've gutted it out for the last twenty years. 2202 02:00:45,240 --> 02:00:50,080 Speaker 1: Moments like this pure elation. Loved watching this game. If 2203 02:00:50,160 --> 02:00:53,120 Speaker 1: they play like this, nobody is beating them, but the 2204 02:00:53,200 --> 02:00:55,600 Speaker 1: Chiefs are tough. Going to need to bring it again, 2205 02:00:56,360 --> 02:00:59,840 Speaker 1: let's go. That is the ultimate question here, Steve. As 2206 02:01:00,000 --> 02:01:02,000 Speaker 1: we move into the week, and we'll probably talk about 2207 02:01:02,040 --> 02:01:07,040 Speaker 1: this more, you know, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, how close 2208 02:01:07,080 --> 02:01:10,960 Speaker 1: can they come to duplicating that effort against a completely 2209 02:01:11,000 --> 02:01:14,440 Speaker 1: different opponent whose defense is playing better down the stretch 2210 02:01:14,760 --> 02:01:17,800 Speaker 1: as opposed to a Patriots defense that was slipping and 2211 02:01:17,960 --> 02:01:20,880 Speaker 1: sliding down the stretch. Well, it's gonna be a difficult task. 2212 02:01:20,920 --> 02:01:23,000 Speaker 1: They're gonna be on the road, not at home. That'll help, 2213 02:01:23,080 --> 02:01:26,880 Speaker 1: that'll hurt your chances of doing it. You are planning 2214 02:01:26,880 --> 02:01:29,120 Speaker 1: against a team, like you said, that's a little better defensively. 2215 02:01:29,160 --> 02:01:30,560 Speaker 1: At this point, you gotta think they're going to play 2216 02:01:30,680 --> 02:01:33,680 Speaker 1: better defensively than the Patriots did. Although the Patriots were 2217 02:01:33,760 --> 02:01:36,520 Speaker 1: number two scoring defense in the league, they were top 2218 02:01:36,600 --> 02:01:42,200 Speaker 1: five defense. I will say this, and we all knew this. 2219 02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:46,040 Speaker 1: There were a ton of Patriot people who were saying, 2220 02:01:46,120 --> 02:01:48,520 Speaker 1: there's no way Josh Allen can play as well as 2221 02:01:48,560 --> 02:01:51,720 Speaker 1: he did here December twenty six against the Patriots. That's 2222 02:01:51,760 --> 02:01:53,800 Speaker 1: the reason that the Patriots are gonna win this game, 2223 02:01:53,960 --> 02:01:56,760 Speaker 1: Josh Allen can't duplicate that performance. Not only did he 2224 02:01:56,840 --> 02:01:59,240 Speaker 1: duplicate it, he played better. He one up to it. 2225 02:02:00,720 --> 02:02:03,840 Speaker 1: It was like you would trade you would trade the 2226 02:02:03,920 --> 02:02:07,160 Speaker 1: December twenty sixth game for this one. Oh yeah, because 2227 02:02:07,440 --> 02:02:10,520 Speaker 1: this one you had no and it was great. And 2228 02:02:10,560 --> 02:02:13,920 Speaker 1: they didn't put in that game either, no, you know, 2229 02:02:14,920 --> 02:02:17,520 Speaker 1: but this one he didn't miss anything. Right, He was 2230 02:02:17,640 --> 02:02:20,760 Speaker 1: decidedly better, even though in that Week sixteen game you 2231 02:02:20,800 --> 02:02:23,720 Speaker 1: could argue he made all the right decisions. I mean, 2232 02:02:23,800 --> 02:02:27,120 Speaker 1: there are no glaring errors from that Week six is 2233 02:02:27,200 --> 02:02:29,000 Speaker 1: zai Mackenzie was a great He was great, fine and 2234 02:02:29,080 --> 02:02:30,640 Speaker 1: all that, but that you know, the defense of the 2235 02:02:30,680 --> 02:02:33,520 Speaker 1: Patriots was playing better that day on December twenty. Well 2236 02:02:34,040 --> 02:02:39,080 Speaker 1: they looked better, Um, Josh, they said, a lot of 2237 02:02:39,160 --> 02:02:41,560 Speaker 1: people said. And that's not just Patriot fans, it's like 2238 02:02:41,720 --> 02:02:44,320 Speaker 1: national media people are saying, listen, he he put a cape. 2239 02:02:44,400 --> 02:02:46,280 Speaker 1: And I was saying, he put a cape on December 2240 02:02:46,360 --> 02:02:49,440 Speaker 1: twenty six against the Patriots. They that game, they don't 2241 02:02:49,440 --> 02:02:51,760 Speaker 1: win it without Josh out on December twenty six. Well, 2242 02:02:51,800 --> 02:02:57,320 Speaker 1: they came in here this last Saturday night and everybody 2243 02:02:57,360 --> 02:02:59,200 Speaker 1: had a cape on it. I had a cape on 2244 02:02:59,320 --> 02:03:02,040 Speaker 1: it was complete domination. Eleven players on eleven I mean, 2245 02:03:02,120 --> 02:03:05,720 Speaker 1: good grief. So you can say, I don't know if 2246 02:03:05,720 --> 02:03:07,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to duplicate that performance they had 2247 02:03:07,920 --> 02:03:11,480 Speaker 1: against Well, that's what they didn't think they could do Saturday. 2248 02:03:12,120 --> 02:03:15,040 Speaker 1: So well, I'm not gonna say they can't. And I'm 2249 02:03:15,040 --> 02:03:17,000 Speaker 1: gonna say this, they probably don't have to play that 2250 02:03:17,240 --> 02:03:20,960 Speaker 1: good against the you know, the Kansas City Chiefs on 2251 02:03:21,240 --> 02:03:24,280 Speaker 1: Sunday to do that, because you know, forty seven points 2252 02:03:24,560 --> 02:03:28,160 Speaker 1: and never getting stopped at all. Two possessions in the 2253 02:03:28,240 --> 02:03:30,919 Speaker 1: first quarter, two possessions of the second quarter, two possessions 2254 02:03:30,960 --> 02:03:35,680 Speaker 1: in the third quarter, what are you gonna do? They 2255 02:03:35,720 --> 02:03:39,040 Speaker 1: scored on all of them. So yeah, we didn't think 2256 02:03:39,040 --> 02:03:41,080 Speaker 1: they could duplicate what they did December twenty six, and 2257 02:03:41,200 --> 02:03:44,160 Speaker 1: only did they they upped the Andy. But I'll take 2258 02:03:44,200 --> 02:03:46,360 Speaker 1: either one of those performances on Sunday. And what makes 2259 02:03:46,400 --> 02:03:49,520 Speaker 1: it so compelling as we get ready for the next 2260 02:03:49,560 --> 02:03:53,560 Speaker 1: game in the divisional round is the fact that the 2261 02:03:53,680 --> 02:03:57,520 Speaker 1: Bills hung forty seven on a tired looking Patriots defense, 2262 02:03:58,040 --> 02:04:00,520 Speaker 1: and the Chiefs, even though they got off to a 2263 02:04:00,640 --> 02:04:04,880 Speaker 1: slow start, still hung forty two on a tired looking 2264 02:04:04,960 --> 02:04:09,960 Speaker 1: Steelers defense. Right, and we gotta say this too, everybody, 2265 02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:12,800 Speaker 1: and the Bills had a soft schedule this year. Yeah, 2266 02:04:12,800 --> 02:04:14,960 Speaker 1: they played a ton of backup quarterbacks. Okay, but you 2267 02:04:15,040 --> 02:04:18,240 Speaker 1: know what, they won all those games going away. They 2268 02:04:18,320 --> 02:04:22,200 Speaker 1: crushed those teams with backup quarterbacks. They crushed them. Now, 2269 02:04:22,240 --> 02:04:24,880 Speaker 1: they stumped, no question, they stumbled. But every game the 2270 02:04:24,960 --> 02:04:29,000 Speaker 1: Bills stumbled in. Literally they stumbled in the Tennessee game 2271 02:04:29,040 --> 02:04:31,320 Speaker 1: with a chance to win it, but they stumbled in 2272 02:04:31,360 --> 02:04:34,920 Speaker 1: a couple of as Jacksonville, the Tampa Bay game, in 2273 02:04:34,960 --> 02:04:38,320 Speaker 1: the egregious non call, all that stuff. They stumbled in 2274 02:04:38,400 --> 02:04:39,880 Speaker 1: some of those games. But when you point to the 2275 02:04:39,920 --> 02:04:43,560 Speaker 1: games they stumbled in, it was it was the Bills. 2276 02:04:43,600 --> 02:04:45,920 Speaker 1: It wasn't them. They beat themselves. Yeah, it was the 2277 02:04:46,000 --> 02:04:49,680 Speaker 1: Bills stumbling. It wasn't somebody tripping them up, except for 2278 02:04:49,760 --> 02:04:52,240 Speaker 1: maybe the officials in the Tampa Bay game. For they 2279 02:04:52,280 --> 02:04:55,160 Speaker 1: got a guy, you know, Stefan Diggs is dragging a 2280 02:04:55,160 --> 02:04:57,440 Speaker 1: guy into the end zone. They don't call it. So 2281 02:04:59,200 --> 02:05:02,960 Speaker 1: that's that's the difference. I mean, you can you say 2282 02:05:03,000 --> 02:05:06,320 Speaker 1: what you want about the soft schedule, all that, the 2283 02:05:06,480 --> 02:05:10,120 Speaker 1: Bills crushed teams that were lesser teams, and when they 2284 02:05:10,240 --> 02:05:13,600 Speaker 1: didn't and when the games they lost, except with the 2285 02:05:13,640 --> 02:05:18,160 Speaker 1: exception of what the Indianapolis game. Yeah, with the exception 2286 02:05:18,240 --> 02:05:21,120 Speaker 1: of that game, you look at the Bills are going, Yeah, 2287 02:05:21,120 --> 02:05:23,120 Speaker 1: you know what, we kind of messed that up. They've 2288 02:05:23,200 --> 02:05:27,560 Speaker 1: all been one score defeats except except for the except 2289 02:05:27,560 --> 02:05:32,120 Speaker 1: for the cold game. Yeah, Randall. On the tweet, Chet says, 2290 02:05:32,200 --> 02:05:34,360 Speaker 1: the offensive line has stepped it up, and when Josh 2291 02:05:34,440 --> 02:05:39,160 Speaker 1: has time, he's invincible. I'm anticipating a better pass rush 2292 02:05:39,800 --> 02:05:43,120 Speaker 1: on the part of the Chiefs this week than we 2293 02:05:43,240 --> 02:05:46,840 Speaker 1: saw from the Patriots this past Saturday. I don't know 2294 02:05:46,920 --> 02:05:49,880 Speaker 1: if today, but I mean, unless Josh was running out 2295 02:05:49,920 --> 02:05:52,400 Speaker 1: of the pocket, nobody really got a mid on him 2296 02:05:52,840 --> 02:05:55,000 Speaker 1: in the pocket, you know what I mean? Like, the 2297 02:05:55,120 --> 02:05:58,200 Speaker 1: offensive line did a really nice job, really nice job. 2298 02:05:58,360 --> 02:06:00,240 Speaker 1: More than a nice job. They will have all their 2299 02:06:00,280 --> 02:06:02,440 Speaker 1: task this week, but I think everybody kind of expected 2300 02:06:02,480 --> 02:06:05,560 Speaker 1: that coming into this. It's the divisional round of the 2301 02:06:05,640 --> 02:06:08,360 Speaker 1: NFL playoffs, and Chris Jones is arguably the best player 2302 02:06:08,400 --> 02:06:12,200 Speaker 1: on their defense. And when let's not forget this, when 2303 02:06:12,240 --> 02:06:14,600 Speaker 1: the Bills played the Chiefs back in Week six, he 2304 02:06:14,760 --> 02:06:16,960 Speaker 1: was playing defensive end. He was a fish out of 2305 02:06:17,040 --> 02:06:21,000 Speaker 1: water and was ineffective out there. The Chiefs trade with 2306 02:06:21,120 --> 02:06:24,000 Speaker 1: the Steelers for Melvin Ingram so they can move Chris 2307 02:06:24,120 --> 02:06:28,280 Speaker 1: Jones back inside. They put Melvin Ingram back on the edge. Miraculously, 2308 02:06:28,400 --> 02:06:31,400 Speaker 1: the defense is better because she put your best player 2309 02:06:31,440 --> 02:06:34,400 Speaker 1: in his best position right. It helped a lot. So 2310 02:06:34,640 --> 02:06:37,720 Speaker 1: that'll be one different wrinkle than the Bills saw from 2311 02:06:37,800 --> 02:06:41,240 Speaker 1: the last meeting. E Horst says, we learned that our 2312 02:06:41,320 --> 02:06:43,880 Speaker 1: team can play as a total team, both sides of 2313 02:06:43,920 --> 02:06:46,480 Speaker 1: the ball, firing on all cylinders. The old line was impressive. 2314 02:06:46,800 --> 02:06:48,440 Speaker 1: I know one man doesn't make the whole team, but 2315 02:06:48,480 --> 02:06:51,640 Speaker 1: the old line seems to have changed gears since Ryan 2316 02:06:51,760 --> 02:06:56,280 Speaker 1: Bates came into the lineup. Ryan Bates is a nice player, 2317 02:06:56,320 --> 02:07:00,160 Speaker 1: no question about it. The thing that has the we 2318 02:07:00,240 --> 02:07:03,560 Speaker 1: had heard before when he was not playing, was because 2319 02:07:03,600 --> 02:07:06,200 Speaker 1: he was smart, and he was toughly smart, because he 2320 02:07:06,240 --> 02:07:10,480 Speaker 1: could back up. He's versatile, all five spots, center, both guards, 2321 02:07:10,560 --> 02:07:15,120 Speaker 1: both tackles, versatile, athletic, and there was a reason why 2322 02:07:15,600 --> 02:07:18,080 Speaker 1: they kept him around because he was smart and obviously 2323 02:07:18,160 --> 02:07:22,160 Speaker 1: because he was tough. So he gets plugged in and 2324 02:07:22,320 --> 02:07:26,880 Speaker 1: it shows. No, you don't see mental mistakes, you don't 2325 02:07:26,920 --> 02:07:31,520 Speaker 1: see miscommunications all that stuff. The mental part of it 2326 02:07:31,600 --> 02:07:33,800 Speaker 1: seems to be there, and he's holding his end up physically, 2327 02:07:34,600 --> 02:07:36,560 Speaker 1: so I'm you know, I think they've got to be 2328 02:07:36,680 --> 02:07:40,000 Speaker 1: really happy with the way he's finished up this this season. 2329 02:07:40,640 --> 02:07:43,360 Speaker 1: And come on, remember they traded Philly to him from 2330 02:07:43,480 --> 02:07:45,960 Speaker 1: got him from Philly the practice squads, signed with him 2331 02:07:45,960 --> 02:07:48,760 Speaker 1: the practice squad or whatever three years ago, two years ago, 2332 02:07:50,120 --> 02:07:52,800 Speaker 1: and he has He's been active almost every game and 2333 02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:57,880 Speaker 1: never seen many snaps, and now to see him get 2334 02:07:57,960 --> 02:08:00,040 Speaker 1: put in in this spot. I'm not saying he's the 2335 02:08:00,240 --> 02:08:03,920 Speaker 1: magic elixir, but well, there's a combination of things that 2336 02:08:03,960 --> 02:08:06,880 Speaker 1: were yeah, exactly like the It's complicated. Bates was a 2337 02:08:06,920 --> 02:08:10,680 Speaker 1: welcome edition. He's performed admirably. Not taking anything away from 2338 02:08:10,760 --> 02:08:13,000 Speaker 1: Ryan Bates, He's played well in the time that he's 2339 02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:16,200 Speaker 1: been in the lineup since Week sixteen. But Dion Dawkins 2340 02:08:16,280 --> 02:08:18,600 Speaker 1: had two separate bouts with COVID in the same season 2341 02:08:19,280 --> 02:08:22,040 Speaker 1: and finally got to a place where he actually feels 2342 02:08:22,080 --> 02:08:26,480 Speaker 1: like himself again. That provided a lift to the offensive line. 2343 02:08:27,040 --> 02:08:30,080 Speaker 1: Spencer Brown got over a back injury in COVID and 2344 02:08:30,320 --> 02:08:35,160 Speaker 1: is finally right. That helped because that helped twofold because 2345 02:08:35,200 --> 02:08:37,640 Speaker 1: it allowed Darryl Williams to go back to right guard 2346 02:08:37,720 --> 02:08:40,400 Speaker 1: so he could play right tackle. Mitch Morrise has been 2347 02:08:40,440 --> 02:08:45,720 Speaker 1: the only constant all season long without issue, and yes, 2348 02:08:46,040 --> 02:08:48,760 Speaker 1: Bates has been a help, but those other three guys 2349 02:08:49,240 --> 02:08:52,720 Speaker 1: didn't really come together and all feel good at the 2350 02:08:52,880 --> 02:08:55,560 Speaker 1: same time on the field. Well, I shouldn't say that. 2351 02:08:55,640 --> 02:08:58,720 Speaker 1: Darryl Williams has not missed a game. He's played tackle 2352 02:08:58,800 --> 02:09:01,840 Speaker 1: and guard off and on seemingly every other week for 2353 02:09:01,920 --> 02:09:06,200 Speaker 1: a stretch. But him getting back home and staying at 2354 02:09:06,320 --> 02:09:09,560 Speaker 1: right guard week after week has done nothing but help 2355 02:09:09,600 --> 02:09:12,760 Speaker 1: the unit. Billy says, I actually learned more from watching 2356 02:09:12,840 --> 02:09:15,720 Speaker 1: the other games because one thing became clear to me. 2357 02:09:16,120 --> 02:09:18,000 Speaker 1: If the Bills play like that from here on out, 2358 02:09:18,040 --> 02:09:19,880 Speaker 1: there is not a single team that can beat us. 2359 02:09:20,280 --> 02:09:27,600 Speaker 1: Hashtag not skeered. I get it. I'm not. I don't 2360 02:09:27,640 --> 02:09:29,800 Speaker 1: want to pile on the Pats. But like you said, 2361 02:09:29,840 --> 02:09:32,400 Speaker 1: I mean, when the Bills got up on them, they left, 2362 02:09:32,720 --> 02:09:34,800 Speaker 1: they packed it up, they packed it up, So you're 2363 02:09:34,880 --> 02:09:38,800 Speaker 1: the Bills looked better than they were the Patriots. I mean, 2364 02:09:38,840 --> 02:09:41,360 Speaker 1: the Bills think about it. It was a perfect game 2365 02:09:41,520 --> 02:09:43,360 Speaker 1: for a reason, and the Bills were as good as 2366 02:09:43,400 --> 02:09:46,080 Speaker 1: they played, there was another team on that field that 2367 02:09:46,120 --> 02:09:48,640 Speaker 1: couldn't keep up and really wasn't interested in keeping up. 2368 02:09:48,880 --> 02:09:51,000 Speaker 1: I think that's the one thing that you get by 2369 02:09:51,080 --> 02:09:54,760 Speaker 1: when you go back and watch this game. Patriots were 2370 02:09:54,920 --> 02:09:58,720 Speaker 1: not and we mentioned on the broadcast we saw it 2371 02:09:58,880 --> 02:10:03,720 Speaker 1: a live action. The pages were disinterested after they went 2372 02:10:03,760 --> 02:10:06,960 Speaker 1: down two touchdowns. Disinterested. I think it is because they 2373 02:10:06,960 --> 02:10:09,240 Speaker 1: don't know. They know they don't have an answer for seventeen. 2374 02:10:09,920 --> 02:10:11,880 Speaker 1: Maybe we don't have an answer for that game. But 2375 02:10:11,920 --> 02:10:13,880 Speaker 1: when you're not, when you're disinterested in a game that 2376 02:10:14,000 --> 02:10:17,360 Speaker 1: commands so much from you and demands so much from 2377 02:10:17,440 --> 02:10:21,000 Speaker 1: you physically and emotionally, and you're not there, it shows 2378 02:10:21,120 --> 02:10:23,400 Speaker 1: in a big way. And in giving up a perfect 2379 02:10:23,480 --> 02:10:27,480 Speaker 1: game to a division rival in the playoffs, Christopher says, 2380 02:10:27,560 --> 02:10:29,800 Speaker 1: the thing I took away from the wild card game 2381 02:10:29,880 --> 02:10:32,040 Speaker 1: is that Josh Allen as a level nobody knew existed. 2382 02:10:32,080 --> 02:10:34,760 Speaker 1: There have been great playoff performances by quarterbacks, and then 2383 02:10:34,800 --> 02:10:38,280 Speaker 1: there's what Josh did. The Bills then responded not one 2384 02:10:38,800 --> 02:10:45,200 Speaker 1: single negative play. It's scary, but with everybody so impressed 2385 02:10:45,240 --> 02:10:47,880 Speaker 1: with what Josh did on Saturday night, and understandably so, 2386 02:10:48,800 --> 02:10:51,400 Speaker 1: it was hard not to be reminded of what Jordan Palmer, 2387 02:10:51,840 --> 02:10:55,240 Speaker 1: his offseason quarterbacks coach, told us on this air a 2388 02:10:55,320 --> 02:11:00,200 Speaker 1: little over a year ago. He does not believe there 2389 02:11:00,320 --> 02:11:04,960 Speaker 1: is a ceiling for Josh, that he can continue to 2390 02:11:05,240 --> 02:11:08,080 Speaker 1: get better, and that there is nobody else like him. 2391 02:11:08,120 --> 02:11:11,560 Speaker 1: I think we saw evidence of that, certainly on Saturday Night. Now, 2392 02:11:11,680 --> 02:11:15,080 Speaker 1: different defensive schemes in certain weeks will have the right 2393 02:11:15,200 --> 02:11:18,760 Speaker 1: plan to slow him down where he doesn't look like 2394 02:11:18,920 --> 02:11:22,320 Speaker 1: the second coming of Superman like he did on Saturday Night. 2395 02:11:23,320 --> 02:11:26,640 Speaker 1: But more often than not, if he can get to 2396 02:11:26,840 --> 02:11:30,640 Speaker 1: that level and everybody else is coming along with him, 2397 02:11:33,320 --> 02:11:37,240 Speaker 1: good luck. Yeah. I think Jordan Palmer called him the 2398 02:11:37,320 --> 02:11:39,520 Speaker 1: most physically gifted quarterback in the history of the NFL 2399 02:11:39,680 --> 02:11:41,640 Speaker 1: or something like that. And he had a brother who 2400 02:11:41,680 --> 02:11:44,520 Speaker 1: had one of the sweetest throwing motions you'll ever see. 2401 02:11:44,680 --> 02:11:47,880 Speaker 1: Carson couldn't run No, and even John Elway, I think 2402 02:11:47,960 --> 02:11:50,919 Speaker 1: Josh is way faster than always has better running instincts, 2403 02:11:51,080 --> 02:11:54,160 Speaker 1: but Elway had an arm like Josh, or Josh has 2404 02:11:54,200 --> 02:11:57,640 Speaker 1: an arm like he did. So yeah, I mean, as 2405 02:11:57,680 --> 02:11:59,800 Speaker 1: far as quarterback play, I don't think there is a ceiling. 2406 02:12:00,760 --> 02:12:05,600 Speaker 1: That's scary, that's pretty dick in a good way for 2407 02:12:05,720 --> 02:12:08,240 Speaker 1: all of us. We have to take a break here, 2408 02:12:08,440 --> 02:12:11,400 Speaker 1: Steve and I will close things up next. We hope 2409 02:12:11,600 --> 02:12:14,880 Speaker 1: those in Western New York are staying safe and if 2410 02:12:14,920 --> 02:12:17,560 Speaker 1: you don't have work today, indoors, as the snow is 2411 02:12:17,560 --> 02:12:19,560 Speaker 1: still coming down, at least it is here in Orchard Park. 2412 02:12:19,880 --> 02:12:21,760 Speaker 1: We're back to close things up here on a Monday 2413 02:12:21,960 --> 02:12:36,400 Speaker 1: next on One Bill's Live Stay tune, Welcome back to 2414 02:12:36,480 --> 02:12:39,600 Speaker 1: One Bill Vive. First d Steve Jasker review. When I 2415 02:12:39,720 --> 02:12:44,240 Speaker 1: was exiting the press box on Saturday night as the 2416 02:12:44,320 --> 02:12:47,880 Speaker 1: game was winding down, I saw NBC Sports Peter King 2417 02:12:48,040 --> 02:12:50,080 Speaker 1: exiting as well. He was in attendance at the game, 2418 02:12:50,960 --> 02:12:54,080 Speaker 1: made the Bills obviously a fairly large part of his 2419 02:12:54,360 --> 02:12:57,320 Speaker 1: Football Morning in America column, And we had just mentioned 2420 02:12:57,400 --> 02:13:00,400 Speaker 1: Jordan Palmer in the last segment. So I found the ironic. 2421 02:13:00,480 --> 02:13:02,080 Speaker 1: I wanted to pass it along to you, see, since 2422 02:13:02,120 --> 02:13:05,640 Speaker 1: he didn't read it. King on Bill's quarterback Josh Allen, 2423 02:13:05,880 --> 02:13:08,320 Speaker 1: not long before one of the great playoff games an 2424 02:13:08,400 --> 02:13:12,600 Speaker 1: NFL quarterback has ever played, a text message pinged into 2425 02:13:12,880 --> 02:13:17,720 Speaker 1: Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen's phone. It read as follows, so 2426 02:13:17,960 --> 02:13:20,120 Speaker 1: proud to know that you've risen to the level of 2427 02:13:20,240 --> 02:13:25,800 Speaker 1: being a pro Bowl.
