11
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 2: a big deal about it. But I don't think it's

Speaker 1: I mean, we're setting records every day we don't get

17
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,960

20
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: nineteen nineteen eighties or nineteen forty six.

Speaker 2: Low low of the twenties, low in the twenties.

00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: We've had worse than that, but it's cold. You got

00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: to be ready for that one. Folks, when you show up,

28
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: make sure you're layered up. And I mean, Bill's fans know.

29
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: So I'm not from Buffalo. I'm from Chicago. So I

30
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: have a lot of friends that like to come into

31
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: tound for games and have came into town for games

32
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: since I started five years ago. And early on in

33
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: the season, everybody's grabbing for tickets week one, week three,

34
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 2: week five, week six when it's nice weather, when it's

35
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: in the fall, and then it just drops off a

36
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: cliff nobody at the end of November December, and then

37
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: it'll pick back up again in January for the playoffs.

38
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 2: But I have family members coming into town for this game.

39
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my gosh, you guys, it's gonna be

40
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: a little cool.

41
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: I've told people a ton I went to school.

42
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 2: In Chicago, you know, North Northwestern.

43
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: I've told people time and time again. You can live

44
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: your whole life in Buffalo and go to Chicago and freeze. Yeah,

45
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: Chicago's cold. It's like like danger is cold. Buffalo gets

46
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: cold when we get snow, and it does get cold

47
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: when it snow's obviously, but twenty like this twenty degree game,

48
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: we're gonna get Chile, you could. That's like people are

49
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: wishing for that in January and Chicago. I mean it's

50
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: it goes cold and stays cold.

51
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: And we're playing against the California team, which people may think, oh,

52
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers have no idea what it feels

53
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 2: like when it's twenty degrees, when it's thirty degrees. May

54
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 2: before coming to the Bills, my first job out of college,

55
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: I worked for Stanford University. Stanford played one of their

56
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: bowl games at the forty nine Ers stadium, and it

57
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: was probably in December at some point. It was one

58
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 2: of the coldest games I've ever been a part of, really,

59
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: and it might not have been like fifteen degrees twenty degrees,

60
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: but the wind was whipping in that stadium and we

61
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: played against Maryland. I want to say it was the

62
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: Foster Farms Bowl.

63
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: I believe Foster Farm.

64
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: I've been a part of a lot of bowl games

65
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: because I also worked at Tennessee for four years, So

66
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: I may not be remembering this correctly, but I believe

67
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: it was the Foster Farms Bowl. Anyways, It's in California,

68
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: in San Francisco area, and you're thinking it's not going

69
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: to be freezing. It's December, It's California, and it was

70
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: so dang cold. So what I'm trying to say here

71
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: is where it's not twenty degrees all the time, it

72
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: still dips down and gets cold in northern California.

73
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that. Yeah. Ernest Hemingway famously said

74
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: the coldest winter I ever had was the summer I

75
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: spent in San Francisco or something like that. Yeah, they're

76
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: not built for it out there. It's not usual, so

77
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: they're not you know, they don't have an extra six

78
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: coats in the closet. They can take their pick whichever

79
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: warm when they want. You know, they got like one.

80
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: They're just not ready for it out there. I think

81
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: when you come into Buffalo in late November, people know, hey,

82
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: it's going to be cold, and they kind of bear

83
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: up for it. I'm with you, though. The ticket requests

84
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: are like, and my two older brothers are still in town. Months,

85
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: they're still here. That's awesome. My wife's not fun. My

86
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: wife is not here. So it's the bros are in.

87
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: So they're here and they're going to stay for the

88
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: Niners game. Uh and actually we got another buddy of

89
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: mine coming in for the game too, So they're in.

90
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: But nobody wants to late regular If the Bills clinch

91
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: this weekend, nobody wants to go to those later. Yeah,

92
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait for the playoffs.

93
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: I'm gonna kick my feet up and watch from no problem.

94
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: Nobody show up. Think about that.

95
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: That's true.

96
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: I mean it's already clinched, just like Eh, I'll just

97
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: catch it and I'll catch it on them in the

98
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: tournament here. That's it. That's what's the problem.

99
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 2: Here's a bigger question. Are the guys going to cook

100
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: a turkey together? Or are we just saying no Thanksgiving

101
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 2: for having Thanksgiving?

102
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: But we're having more of the cow variety of Thanksgiving.

103
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: We've got steaks that are is you know the size

104
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: of your leg.

105
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: I'm doing short ribs this year for Thanksgiving.

106
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: We are doing we are doing beef for Thanksgiving and it's.

107
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: Gonna beef give Beef's Giving, beef.

108
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: Giving, and uh so there you go. It's yeah, we're

109
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: doing that, and then we're going over some friend's house

110
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: for some extended family for dessert. That kind of thing.

111
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: How fun. I was talking about this with you before

112
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 2: we went on air, and it has to do with

113
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: the fact that Buffalo can clinch the AFC East this weekend.

114
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 2: If Miami loses, they play on Thursday against the Packers.

115
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: They're the late game and the Bills have to win

116
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 2: against the forty nine ers. My question, and this might

117
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 2: go back just a few years when the Kansaity Chiefs

118
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 2: were blowing teams out of the water, or when the

119
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: Patriots were beating everybody in sight. When is the last

120
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 2: time a team has clinched their division before playing one

121
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: of their division opponents once? The Bills have a chance

122
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,119
Speaker 2: to clinch the division before even playing the Patriots once

123
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 2: this season. That has to be unique.

124
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. You go back to maybe the

125
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven or two thousand and eight Patriots

126
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 1: when they were undefeated all those time. Maybe they clinched

127
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: way early, which you know it's happened, but it's hard

128
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: to clinch the division like before we twelve or thirteen. Yeah,

129
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: and you think you're gonna play at least one of

130
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: your division all your division ponents at least once at

131
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: that point. But to this year, the Bills don't play

132
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots till week sixteen and eighteen, And I say

133
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be It's gonna be sewed up before then,

134
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: for sure, I would think yes. And so I don't

135
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: know's it was a really good question. Has anybody clinched

136
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: their division before playing all o their division opponents at

137
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: least once?

138
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 2: Can anybody help us out? If no?

139
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: A year, I don't know.

140
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna dig a little bit because it's interesting.

141
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: I don't like research because it's like hard work. So

142
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: I'll lead to you. I'll tell me the answer. It

143
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: is interesting that this is a weekend where the Bills

144
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: could clinch. Now, there have been times when I know,

145
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: back in the nineties, when you know, you could clinch

146
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: really obscenely early, and it didn't happen because you know,

147
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: there's like six things that had to happen. He just didn't.

148
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: Not all of them happened. But we'll see this. This

149
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: is a very simple formula. This weekend, Dolphins lose, Bill's win.

150
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: It's over last year. It was like, if this happens,

151
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: then that happens, and this needs to happen, and that

152
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: needs to happen. We needed some help from teams, and

153
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: it came down to the final week of football, came

154
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 2: down to the final game. Everybody had their eyes on

155
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 2: it because it was winter winner goes to the playoffs, right.

156
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: And it Yeah, that makes it easy. Now the Dolphins

157
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: are sitting here, they they had six losses. If you

158
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: there's only been one time in this new format. I

159
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: say new because since twenty twenty, there have been seventeen

160
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: expanded playoffs, there's only been one time when a team

161
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: that won ten games did not get in. So you

162
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: go ten wins, you're in most of the time. The

163
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 1: only time it didn't happen was in twenty was in

164
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: when was it everybody had eleven wins? All the seven

165
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: teams in the playoffs had.

166
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: It was a year, a year ago, two years ago.

167
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: It was just it was three years ago, years ago.

168
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: I think it was like the second year when a

169
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: team didn't get in, So.

170
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 2: You got to get to ten or eleven wins. Not

171
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 2: easy to get in. With nine wins. If you look

172
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: at the AFC East and where everybody else sits not

173
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: too pretty for other teams in the AFC East, and

174
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,599
Speaker 2: just looking across the board when it comes to standings,

175
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 2: I mean, the Jets and the Patriots have three wins.

176
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: We're playing an NFC West opponent this week, and the

177
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers are at the bottom of the NFC West.

178
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: You've got two six win teams to five win teams

179
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: in the NFC West right now. Seahawks are at the top,

180
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 2: Cardinals second, Rams third, forty nine Ers fourth. And when

181
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 2: you think about what could happen on Sunday Night football,

182
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: you're playing against the San Francisco forty nine Ers team

183
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 2: that is going to be ready to pull out all

184
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: of the stops because they're coaching for the postseason.

185
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, triple reversus fake punts, fake field goals, you gotta

186
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: go forward on fourth down. They gotta win. They gotta

187
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: win because even even if they do win, they've still

188
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: got to hope that somebody because they can walk all

189
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: three of those teams down, all three at Seahawks, Cardinals, Rams,

190
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: the Niners gotta believe they can walk all of those

191
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: teams down, just like the Bills did last year to

192
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: Miami and won five in a row and walked Miami

193
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: down and won the division on the last game of

194
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: the year against Miami. And by the way, Miami was

195
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: the last team not to get in the playoffs with

196
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: ten wins, and that was in the first year twenty twenty.

197
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty, they didn't get in with ten wins. Are

198
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: the only team that's ever done that won ten games

199
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: and not gotten in. So you know, they're all these teams,

200
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: that's the magic number, particularly this year with so many

201
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: teams like you saw San Francisco and all those teams,

202
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 1: you know, struggling to get to ten is the duttonnun number.

203
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: Ten is the number even for these teams. Now, the

204
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: last team in the NFC is Washington. They're the seventh

205
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: seed and they've got seven wins.

206
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: Right now, there are two teams in the NFL right

207
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: now with ten wins, Detroit Lions at ten to one

208
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 2: and the Kansas City Chiefs sit at ten and one.

209
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: When you look at nine win teams, there are one

210
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: two nine win teams that exist right now. The Bills

211
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: are one of those teams, and the Philadelphia Eagles are

212
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: the other team. Saquon Barkley has been paved in the way,

213
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: also missed out of the Minnesota Vikings. So three nine

214
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 2: win teams two to ten win teams right now in

215
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 2: the NFL.

216
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: This is also one of those years where it's the

217
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: line of demarcation between playoff eligible teams and teams that

218
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: are out of the playoff race. Right now. Every team

219
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: that's not in the playoff race in the AFC is

220
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: a losing record five and six. It's Miami is the

221
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: last team in. They're the eighth seed. Denver is next

222
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: one with seven and five, so they've got you know,

223
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: they haven't even had their bye week yet, they're seven

224
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: and five and they're the last playoff team in. It's

225
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: Denver at seven, Baltimore at six, and Chargers at five.

226
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 2: And there's a couple teams that lead their divisions with

227
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: just six wins, which is the NFC West Seahawks sitting

228
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 2: at six and five in the NFC South Atlanta Falcons

229
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 2: sitting at six and five as well. So interesting to

230
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: look at the playoff picture at large right now where

231
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: teams sit at the NFL standings ahead of Week thirteen

232
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: coming up. In today's show. We've got ESPN NFL in

Speaker 2: benefit the Patricia Allan Fund. We also have a topic today.

257
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 2: Our question for you is who do you expect to

258
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 2: break out down the stretch after the bye. You can

259
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 2: give us a call at eighth three, five point fifty

260
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: or tweet at us. We will be reading those tweets

261
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 2: later on in the show. Steve, this was your idea,

262
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: So do you have somebody in mind that you think

263
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: is going to break out down the stretch.

264
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: For me, it's interesting because we've seen flashes from every

265
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: single guy on the roster. Mac Collins has been great

266
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Key On was just spreading

267
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: his wings. Amari Cooper helped out in a large way,

268
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: even with a cast on his hand against the Chiefs.

269
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: Kincaid obviously has been somebody people have been waiting on.

270
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel have you know, had the game this last week,

271
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: got his first touchdown, so he's emerging. I mean James Cook, right,

272
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: Dalton Kin K Dawson Knox, Ty Johnson, Ray Davis, I mean,

273
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: go down the list. So all of these guys have

274
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: been contributed in a large way to a nine to

275
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: two team who is about to clinch their divine It's

276
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: hard to pick somebody who has not at least flashed

277
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: as a breakout game, right, And I think that's been

278
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: one of the things about this team that has made

279
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: it feel different. And by saying it feels different, like

280
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: we got high hopes for this crew, high hopes. It's

281
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: a group that seems to be able to win left

282
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: handed if they need to.

283
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 2: I was looking at the New York Times playoff predictor,

284
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: which we used so much last year when the Bills

285
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 2: had at one point in the season, I think it

286
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: was like a nineteen or twenty percent chance to make

287
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: it to the playoffs. At this point in the season,

288
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: the Bills have greater than a ninety nine percent chance

289
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: to win their division make it to the playoffs, which

290
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 2: I think we can all say, yeah, duh, that makes

291
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 2: a lot of sense. Forty two percent chance to get

292
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: around one by that would mean they lock up the

293
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 2: number one seed in the AFC, and they have a

294
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: fourteen percent chance. I want to say it is. Let

295
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: me double check this. I think it's a fourteen percent chance,

296
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 2: according to the New York Times playoff predictor, to make

297
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 2: it to the super Bowl, which is a nice number there. Hey,

298
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 2: the Bills keep winning, fifteen percent chance to make it

299
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 2: to the super Bowl, that would be awesome. I know

300
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: we would all love that.

301
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: That's you know, that's the ultimate goal. This it's interesting too.

302
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: And in case people you said, this is a day

303
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: off for the players, and people are going, well, they

304
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: just had a week off. What are they It's the

305
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: routine of the seat. They want to get back into

306
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: the routine as quickly as possible, start preparing and getting ready.

307
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: So they give the guys the exact same kind of

308
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: week leading up to the game as they got Thanksgiving.

309
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: You gonna be in it. They got a lot of

310
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: stuff going on. Get them into the routine as much

311
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: as you can. You don't want to come back practice, practice,

312
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: you know, and do it differently the entire week and

313
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: then get up to the game time. It's like a

314
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: studn't feel normal. You want them to feel as normalized

315
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: as possible. So they gave him a day off, even

316
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: though on Thursday they'll probably come in a little bit

317
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: and practice on Thursday. They'll move the schedule up a

318
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: little bit. That is, you know, that's the way they're

319
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: doing it. Yeah, that so that they're getting ready for

320
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: this game. And I think it's gonna get back to

321
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: the question of who I think is gonna break out.

322
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a different guy for

323
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: every game. I think that's one of the beauties of

324
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: this game, this team. That's why you know, I answered

325
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: the question what you did, I named all those guys.

326
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: I think this week, depending on who's available, I think

327
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: it could be a game for a guy like James

328
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: Cook to take it, or Ray Davis or both those

329
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: guys together San Francisco and we'll talk to Dan Orlowski

330
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: see what he has to say about it. I think

331
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: San Francisco you can, particularly without Nick Bosa in the lineup,

332
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: if that's in case. If that's the San Francisco is

333
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: vulnerable there. We'll see what Orlobski has to say about

334
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: But I think it could be a game for the

335
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: running running back and the office of line to flex

336
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. We saw these other teams doing it.

337
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: We saw Saquon do it this last weekend. We saw

338
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: Derrek Henry do it last night on Monday Night. Oh,

339
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: James Cook, let's go. James Cook, Great, David, let's go.

340
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: I think that could be it. I think that could

341
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: and I think it's more of a philosophical thing rather

342
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: than one guy. I think it's the run game this

343
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: weekend because I think they will rotate those guys in

344
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: unless one guy gets really smoking hot and then they'll

345
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: just keep plugging him.

346
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 2: Give them the balls go.

347
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: So that's my Game's cool.

348
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: I like it. This week's game against the forty nine

349
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 2: Ers is presented by Highmark Blue Cross, Blue Shield, the

350
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: official healthcare plan of the Buffalo Bills. Because Life, Let's

351
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 2: Go Around the NFL Now Around the NFL is presented

352
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 2: by Clyde Health, the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills.

353
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 2: And sticking with this matchup against the forty nine Ers,

354
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 2: quarterback Brock Purty missed last week's game due to shoulder soreness.

355
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 2: He was expected to play and then regressed, so he

356
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: missed that game against the Packers. Backup quarterback Brandon Allen

357
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 2: started in his place. The forty nine Ers ended up

358
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 2: losing that game thirty eight to ten, and Brandon Allen

359
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: had two turnovers, completed just under sixty percent of his passes.

360
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: His one touchdown throw was to George Kittle. So if

361
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 2: Perty's not able to go, you're looking at Alan starting

362
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 2: again in place of Purty. But the latest we have

363
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 2: heard on Brock Purty, according to the insiders Ian Rappaport

364
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 2: Adam Schefter, is that Kyle Shanahan said that Perty went

365
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 2: through a light throwing session yesterday during practice and all

366
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 2: that went well. So seems like things are progressing in

367
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 2: the right direction for Purdy to be able to go.

368
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: But it's not just Purty. They were without Nick Bosa.

369
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 2: They were without Trent Williams as well Ayuk, so they

370
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 2: were down a few big names against the Packers. And

371
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 2: it'll be interesting to see as injury reports start to

372
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 2: come out this week who's available, who's limited, who's not practicing,

373
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: because that'll factor big time into this matchup against the Bills.

374
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 2: The forty nine ers are going to want to be

375
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 2: as healthy as possible because, again, like we said, their

376
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 2: season is truly on the line. This is a team

377
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 2: who made it to the Super Bowl last season, and

378
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 2: a year after their playoff hopes are completely in question

379
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 2: right now, Yeah, it's.

380
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: Been a tough stretch, a tough year for the Niners.

381
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: Obviously at five and six, they're struggling to kind of

382
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: stay in there. They're the last in their division, not

383
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: by much, but they are last. And Bills fans, and

384
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: we've been through this season with Brownie and I and you, Maddy,

385
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: we've been talking about how unlucky the Bills have been

386
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: with injuries. They've been been without this guy this week

387
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: and that guy last week, and this guy's been out

388
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks now he's back. In this

389
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: kind of roller coaster of a season injury wise, one

390
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: of the reasons the Bills have been able to, you know,

391
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 1: to substantially not be affected by it, it's because of

392
00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: the depth of their roster. The way Brandon Being has

393
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: handled this roster, even in a year where they've got

394
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: seventy million dollars in dead cap money, they have made

395
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: the roster solid from top to bottom. And while the

396
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: Bills are most notably without a big time number one receiver,

397
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: although Amari Cooper would fill that role in some teams

398
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: and this one as well, maybe if he continues to progress,

399
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: this roster is not top heavy. San Francisco's is top heavy.

400
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of guys making a lot of

401
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: a handful of guys making a big percentage of the

402
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: salary cap, and the guys behind them just aren't. They're

403
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: not getting their money's worth, or maybe they're getting what

404
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: they paid for more like more accurate. Right, This Bills

405
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: roster is built with some depth, plus the player development

406
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: that the Sean McDermott and his staff have shown. They

407
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: get more out of what they do have on this roster,

408
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: and the guys even at the top of the roster

409
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: are continuing to develop. They continue to play better and better,

410
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: so top to bottom, the Bills have handled their injuries

411
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: this season way better because of the the culture and

412
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: the total organization. The Niners have struggled with it because

413
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: they've decided to pay guys to keep them you know not,

414
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: you know not bite the bullet on the cap. And

415
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 1: I think their season is what it is in large

416
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: measure because of that. If those star players go down,

417
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: which it happens, you're done. And I'm not saying no

418
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: team wouldn't be affected by having a starting quarterback sit

419
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: down like Brock Purty, right, But the thing you got

420
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa, and their defense is a different animal without

421
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: that guy.

422
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 2: If you look at their offense, though, you talk about

423
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 2: a team being without a starting quarterback and it being tough,

424
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 2: and sure it is. But Kyle Shanahan's system is built

425
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: for if you were out somebody, the offense shouldn't change much.

426
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 2: And we saw it with Jordan Mason taking place taking

427
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 2: the place of Christian McCaffrey. When McCaffrey was out for

428
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: a good part of the beginning of the season. You

429
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 2: see brand and Allen start in brock Purty's place, and

430
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 2: it didn't look like that the offense was not functioning

431
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,239
Speaker 2: as it normally does. It's a top ten offense and

432
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 2: a top ten defense in a lot of regards if

433
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 2: you look at the statistical categories, but they struggled to

434
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 2: move the ball. They only had two hundred and forty

435
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 2: one total yards of offense against the Packers. They were

436
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 2: three of ten on third down, only had eleven first

437
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 2: downs in the entire game. They had three turnovers, so

438
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 2: it was a little bit of a mess for the

439
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 2: forty nine ers offense. You would think if Brandon Allen

440
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 2: is going to start in a second straight week, some

441
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 2: of those things would be a little bit cleaner than

442
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 2: they were against the Packers, just because you have consistency

443
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: for a second straight week in the row week in

444
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: a row, rather than just having a backup quarterback starting

445
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 2: for the first time on this team all season. So

446
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 2: we'll continue to monitor the brock Party situation, Brandon Allen situation,

447
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 2: But the latest that we've heard is that Party got

448
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 2: a little bit of throwing in during yesterday's practice and

449
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 2: things went well. Continuing on with around the NFL, we've

450
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 2: got some other news surrounding Monday Night football. Baltimore Ravens

451
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 2: and the Los Angeles Chargers faced off thirty to twenty

452
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: three as your final score. The Ravens end up winning

453
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 2: that game. It looked like toward the end of the

454
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 2: game fourth quarter, early fourth quarter there was a chance

455
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 2: for the Chargers to come back when the score is

456
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 2: twenty three to sixteen, but then the Ravens scored again,

457
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: making it thirty to sixteen, and Chargers scored with forty

458
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 2: six seconds left in the game, bringing the final score

459
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 2: to thirty to twenty three. But this game was all

460
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 2: about Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. Derrick Henry had twenty

461
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 2: four carries for one hundred and forty rushing yards. He

462
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 2: averaged five point eight yards per carry, had no touchdowns,

463
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 2: but was really effective in moving the ball and getting

464
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 2: the Ravens into scoring position. Lamar Jackson finishes with one

465
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy seven yards through the air, completing sixteen

466
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 2: of twenty two pass attempts, has two touchdowns in the air,

467
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 2: one on the ground, and finishes with a one twenty

468
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 2: six point five passer rating. This team is hard to stop,

469
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 2: and you kind of thought the Chargers are out of

470
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: place in the season where they're getting a little bit hot.

471
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 2: Their defense is playing really well. I was excited to see,

472
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 2: of course, the two brothers square up against each other,

473
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 2: because John Harbaugh has been undefeated against his younger brother

474
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 2: and that continues with John Harbaugh moving to three to

475
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: zero against his brother. I don't know what do you

476
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 2: think of this game? Did you watch any of it?

477
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 2: Do you have any hopes?

478
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 1: I watched all of it. I had said yesterday that

479
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: if the Ravens lose that game against the Chargers last night,

480
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: they ain't going to the playoffs. Now, yeah, but the

481
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 1: Ravens did exactly the Chargers what they did The Bills.

482
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: They did exactly what they did to the Bills beat

483
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: him in the same manner. With Derrick Henry and Lamar

484
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: running the ball. They threw the ball twenty two times.

485
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 1: If I think, if you're going to beat the Ravens,

486
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: you got to force him to throw the football. Derrick

487
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: Henry was a hammer like he was, and the Chargers

488
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: played him exactly like the Bills that they kept too

489
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 1: high and then tried to run a guy down late

490
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: to stop the run and she just can't get there

491
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: in time. Yeah, I thought the Chargers had a chance

492
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: to win this game. They had a good enough plan,

493
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: but they had a couple of drops late to keep

494
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: the ball to keep the game close. Herbert played pretty well,

495
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,479
Speaker 1: I thought, although their offensive line did not hold up

496
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: well their run game. The Chargers run game took a

497
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: big hit when when Dobbins went down with a knee injury.

498
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: That's right, so JK Dobbins and was a big factor

499
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: in that. So a lot of things went against the Chargers.

500
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 2: Clinton Johnson had some tough drops, targeted five times, had

501
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 2: zero catches. After postgame press conference, Justin Herbert was asked

502
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: about it and he said, you know, I'm going to

503
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 2: keep throwing the ball to him. I'm gonna continue to

504
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: ride with him, but some tough drops there.

505
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: You got to make plays like that against a team

506
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: like that's playing as well as the Ravens are now.

507
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: The Ravens did. They played as good as they could play,

508
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: in my opinion, the good as we've seen him they

509
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: And like I said, it was a very reminiscent of

510
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: the Bills game in Baltimore when they just ran it.

511
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: The Bills had no answer and they couldn't get enough

512
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: done in Baltimore's passing game. They didn't force Baltimore to

513
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: throw it enough. And when they did both they let

514
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: Lamar run around. He had plenty of time to throw it.

515
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: He had over three seconds to throw it on average,

516
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: which is more than he's had in any game this year.

517
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: And like I said, Baltimore looked like the team that

518
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: was fighting for a one seed last year. You know,

519
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 1: they were the one seed last year. They looked like

520
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: that team. They don't always year, And I think he

521
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: got to look at the games you know that they

522
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: haven't played well in and try and mimic that, right,

523
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you have to find a way what they

524
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: don't do well, and I to me, you got to

525
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: force Lamar to stay in the pocket and beat you

526
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: from the pocket. I don't know that he can do that.

527
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: But getting them there in third and long and obvious

528
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: passing situations is difficult with the running game that they've got.

529
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 2: Is this a team that you think if if the

530
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 2: Bills face the Ravens in the playoffs, the Bills would

531
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 2: have a better chance against them than what happened in

532
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 2: Week four when the Bills lost thirty five to ten.

533
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: Sure, you learn a lot, and I think, you know,

534
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: you get the you get the benefit from Baltimore thinking Okay,

535
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: we've got this, we're gonna, you know, do what we do,

536
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: and the Bills being able to adjust and make some

537
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: some real adjustments that will help them in the running game.

538
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't think there's any team in in

539
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: this in the conference of the Bills are saying, gosh,

540
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,719
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think we can beat Certainly there

541
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: are some that are they're different matchups, but when you

542
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs, it's all tough matches. It's all

543
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: tough matchups. Yeah, you know, I don't care if you

544
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: get If you get the Miami Dolphins you know, you

545
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta play those guys. Uh. And I'm not

546
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: saying that to disparage the Dolphins, but we know the

547
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: Bills have a great record against those guys. You still

548
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: gotta beat them on that day. That's the mantra I

549
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: always get to in the playoffs. The Bills are good

550
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: enough to go and win it all, and they have

551
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: been for four years. But you got to play well

552
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: on that last game. So we'll see, you know, we'll see,

553
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: we will see.

554
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 2: All right, break time for us when we return. We've

555
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 2: got ESPN NFL Insider Field Yates joining us to help

556
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 2: set our fantasy lineups. Don't go anywhere. We're presented by

557
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:56,959

Speaker 2: In terms of fantasy football, you're setting your lineups, You're

562
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 2: making sure you're working those waivers. That's what keeps you

563
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 2: in the game. Let's bring on one of our friends

570
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 3: glad that this kind of timed out nicely for the

571
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 3: Bills as an organization.

572
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,959
Speaker 4: You have the bye week last week, so you got

573
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 4: a couple of days.

574
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 3: Then with the Thanksgiving holiday you get a couple more days here.

575

Speaker 3: So I hope everybody has a great holiday ahead. And

576
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 3: it's great tokare with you guys, whether it's a Tuesday

577
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 3: or Thursday or somewhere else in between.

578
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 2: I know life gets crazy at this point in the

579
00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: season with schedules, with holidays, with the playoff on the line,

580
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 2: So we're happy to have you here with us. Let's

581
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: start setting our lineups. In this week's edition, You've got

582
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert at quarterback. Tell us why yeah?

583
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 4: So Herbert played fine on Monday night. I thought he

584
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 4: played really well.

585
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 3: Probably I had a couple of opportunities last night that

586
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 3: could have gone a different direction and made his numbers

587
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 3: that much bigger. But he's been really really good of late,

588
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 3: and it's a great matchup for Herbert against the Atlanta Falcons,

589
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,959
Speaker 3: a defense that made some moves late in the off season,

590
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 3: specifically during training camp, that they thought could kind of

591
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 3: maybe provide some.

592
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 4: So SOS relief.

593
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 3: The reality is the trade for Matt Geon and the

594
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 3: addition of Justin Simmons have not done enough to take

595
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 3: this defense over the edge. Herbert on the football a

596
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 3: whole lot more recently than he did early on in

597
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 3: the season. We'll see whether they have JK. Dobbins this

598
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 3: upcoming week, but we did see Herbert rush for a

599
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 3: touchdown last night as well. That's a big part of

600
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 3: his arsenal, perhaps an underrated part of what he is

601
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 3: able to bring to the table. So I like the

602
00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 3: price point there for Herbert in a good match.

603
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: And then you go down to the running backs. Give

604
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: us an idea about why these matchups.

605
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, these matchups are important this week for a couple

606
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 3: of different reasons, but maybe more importantly is this the

607
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 3: players involved, and.

608
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 4: I like running backs to catch passes.

609
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 3: So let's start with Chase Brown for the Stati Bengals,

610
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 3: who have kind of a middle of the pack line

611
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 3: matchup this week against the Steelers. The Steelers, as we know,

612
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 3: have been tough to throw against for the most part

613
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 3: this season, but guys Brown has been on some sort

614
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 3: of tear. Chase Brown has handled every single running back

615
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 3: opportunity for the last two plus games. That's unfathomable in

616
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 3: today's NFL. I mean, whether it's a guy seating five

617
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 3: percent of the work, ten percent of the work, or

618
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 3: fifty percent of the work.

619
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 4: Many starters around the.

620
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 3: NFL get plenty of relief, Chase Brown gets none. He

621
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 3: had nine catches during Cincinnati's final game before the bye

622
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 3: as well, so he should be very busy. And let's

623
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 3: go to Bucky Irby, Well, all of a sudden, looks

624
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 3: like the best running back in ten up. A Bay

625
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 3: for fantasy purpose is a fourth round pick out of Oregon,

626
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 3: and he's such an interesting player because he actually averaged

627
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 3: more yards per carry and runs between the tackles than

628
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 3: any other player in the SBS last year, which is

629
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 3: a testament to his rushing style and skill set. But

630
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 3: he also was amongst the best pass catching backs in

631
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 3: the entire draft class. This guy is such a factor

632
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 3: in both ways and he has been very involved for Tampa,

633
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 3: both on the ground and through the air of late,

634
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 3: taking more and.

635
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 4: More work away from Rashad White.

636
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 3: It kind of feels like it's now tilting in the

637
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 3: favor of Bucky Irving, who does By the way, I

638
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 3: have a very good matchup against Carolina, a team that.

639
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 4: Is playing tescier of late, but definitely not a defense

640
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 4: that totally scares you.

641
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 2: All Right, Nicocollins is back and healthy. Why is he

642
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: worthy of one of the wide receiver spots?

643
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 4: Man? I tell you what.

644
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 3: Nico Collins is one of those guys that had some

645
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 3: big numbers of late, but it feels they could be

646
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 3: a whole lot bigger.

647
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 4: So we found the end zone this past weekend.

648
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 3: He's actually had three be two touchdowns called back since.

649
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 4: He returned from injury two games ago.

650
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 3: You guys may recall that Monday Night game eight days

651
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 3: ago in which Nico Collins catches a pass on the

652
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 3: first play of the game for an eighty yard touchdown.

653
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 4: It was called back.

654
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 3: Because of a ticki tack every It was one of

655
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 3: those pre snap penalties, so he ends up having two

656
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 3: touchdowns taken off the board with he had another one

657
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 3: taking off this past week. It's a great matchup though

658
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 3: against Jacksonville, who has just kind of struggled in every

659
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 3: regard this year, but definitely in the secondary in terms

660
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 3: of slowing down opposing wide receivers. Next up on my

661
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 3: wide receiver board is Michael Pittman Junior, and Anthony Richardson

662
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 3: is starting to kind of piece together some better efforts,

663
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 3: both as a runner but more importantly for Pittman's purposes

664
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 3: as a thrower, who had ninety six yards last week.

665
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 3: It sounds like Josh Stallens is very iffy to play

666
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,919
Speaker 3: in this game for Indy, which means that Pittman should

667
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 3: be an even busier wide receiver. Against the Patriots. He

668
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 3: could draw the Christian Gonzalez shadow. Gonzalez as a established

669
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 3: himself that certainly the Patriots best or second best player,

670
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 3: but Pittman in a good spot here all the same

671
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 3: because he'd have plenty of volume on his side. And

672
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 3: then finally, it's Mike Evans for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,

673
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 3: and you know, if Evans not scoring a touchdown last week,

674
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 3: it almost feels like this guy is due. It's a

675
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 3: good matchup against Carolina. I just mentioned how They're not

676
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 3: much of a deterrent on the ground. It's not much different.

677
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 4: Through the air as well.

678
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 3: Evans came back last week a few important factors. I

679
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 3: know it sounds silly, but he finished the game. For

680
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 3: a guy coming off of a hamstring poll, We've seen

681
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 3: plenty of guys reenter the lineup and then reaggravate that hamstring.

682
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 3: So the fact that he finished the game as encouraging.

683
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 3: He should play an even higher percentage of the snaps

684
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 3: this week. And I don't know if the Bucks would

685
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 3: admit this out loud, but Mike Evans has a shriek.

686
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 3: He has reached at least a thousand receiving yards in

687
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 3: every game every season of his career. That streak is

688
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 3: in peril if they do not throw the football a

689
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 3: lot to him down the stretch. They have a very

690
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 3: feverable schedule for him to get there over the final

691
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 3: six games of the season.

692
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: So this year seems like and maybe it's just me,

693
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: you tell me, tight ends are hard to pick this

694
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: year to me, we've had We're doing it with a

695
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 1: couple of guys In Buffalo. Teams are starting to keep

696
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: more guys on their roster use more tight ends and

697
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: their offenses, and it's hard to find one, I think.

698
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the season Kelsey is having. He

699
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: had a couple of good weeks a month, you know,

700
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. Now he disappeared again. Hard

701
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: year for tight ends, it really is.

702
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 3: And you know, there are definitely teams relying on multiple

703
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 3: you know, Buffalo good example with both Dawston and Dalton.

704
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 4: Kansas City.

705
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 3: You know, Travis Kelcey has been kind of quiet of late,

706
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 3: but Noah Gray has four touchdowns over the last two games.

707
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 3: So I'm going with patch triar movement. It's really just

708
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 3: a match up play more than anything else. Cincinnati has

709
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 3: really struggled in terms of limiting opposing tight ends. Was

710
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 3: a good player. He's a solid player for Pittsburgh. They

711
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 3: do play a bunch of different guys, but he kind

712
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 3: of won as much skin in this game as you

713
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 3: can get. Pittsburgh facing defense that can't stop anybody, as

714
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 3: well for Friarmouth having opportunities to maybe pile up a

715
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 3: half half a dozen or so targets, good red zone

716
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 3: weapon as well. Give me Pat Fryarmouth in my tight end.

717
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 2: Spot and then finish it out for us. With flex

718
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 2: and defense. Who you got in those spots?

719
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, let's good to even more.

720
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 3: Here's a wild card of the wei at wide receivers

721
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 3: our flex op in this week, and with no jail

722
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 3: and Coker last week, we're talking about some deep deep

723
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 3: cuts here, guys. But no Jailen Coker for the Panthers

724
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 3: last week meant ten targets for David Moore, Yes, ten

725
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 3: in that game against Kansas City. He had six catches,

726
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 3: eighty rs and a touchdown. So he was excellent obviously

727
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 3: for the Panthers, and he's been playing a lot.

728
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 5: You know.

729
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 3: The connection here is he played for Dave Canalis, the

730
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 3: bucket excuse me, the Panthers head coach when he was

731
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 3: with the Buccaneers. So I'm not a total surprise that

732
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 3: David Moore is playing as many snaps as he is.

733
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 3: And then, finally, as far as defenses go, really hard

734
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 3: to find a defense you wanted to pay down on.

735
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 3: Don't love paying up for these deep defense in general

736
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 3: and daily fantasy. So let's go to the Titans, who

737
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 3: have been a pretty good defense for much of this season.

738
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 3: Been pretty impressive to see what they've done in terms

739
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 3: of limiting opposing in games, especially with Lageria Sneed, one

740
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 3: of their big ticket for agent acquisitions of the offseason

741
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 3: now on injured reserve, and he has missed a ton

742
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 3: of time this year's So while the Commanders have been

743
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 3: a good, good offense, they kind of went through a

744
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 3: bit of a rut until like well fourth quarter, heck,

745
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 3: the second half of the fourth quarter this past week

746
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 3: against the Cowboys. So perhaps the Titans find a way

747
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 3: to somewhat neutralized this Commander's offense, who could be without

748
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 3: both Brian Robinson and Austin Eckler on the ground.

749
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 2: Ala Nfield, thanks for helping us send the Ultimate Fantasy

750
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 2: lineup presented by FanDuel. The Bills have a game coming

751
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,479
Speaker 2: up on Sunday Night Football against the San Francisco forty

752
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 2: nine Ers. The Bills are riding a six game win

753
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 2: streak and the San Francisco forty nine Ers a two

754
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 2: game losing streak. How do you view this matchup? You

755
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 2: got a Buffalo team who's in a spot to fight

756
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 2: for that number one seed, and you got a forty

757
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 2: nine Ers team who's in the Super Bowl last year

758
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 2: who's just fighting to be alive in the playoff conversation

759
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 2: right now.

760
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 4: I think the Bills are smelling blood as we speak. Now.

761
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 4: We don't know whether Roberty will play on Sunday night.

762
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 3: Probably won't have a better feel for that until you

763
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 3: probably Wednesday or Friday. I assume the forty nine ers

764
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 3: might be taking Thursday off for Thanksgiving, but we'll see

765
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 3: on practice throughout the week here. So Buffalo should be

766
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 3: able to run the football against this team. I don't

767
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 3: have any concerns about being able to do that. You

768
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 3: saw what happened last week for green Bay, just totally

769
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 3: steamrolling San Francisco on the ground it brock Party can't play, guys,

770
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 3: then this is a sweet spot for the Browns, for

771
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 3: the Bills take care of business against the forty nine ers,

772
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 3: And I think if I'm Buffalo coming off the buy,

773
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 3: you know, I know that they would never say it publicly,

774
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 3: but us to be thinking every single week that like

775
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 3: this is our chance to preserve number one seed, hope,

776
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 3: And while it's not, you know, it's not a now

777
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 3: if you don't get that number one seed in the AFC,

778
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 3: it's become so valuable in the NFL because there is

779
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 3: just one of them available. On top of that, as

780
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 3: you guys know, mathematically, the Bills could create basically as

781
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 3: much margin for error as you could possibly have by

782
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 3: the end of week thirteen. If Miami loses on Thursday

783
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 3: and the Bills win on Sunday night, guys, I mean,

784
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 3: that would basically clinch the AFC, which is most likely

785
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 3: going to be the Bills anyways, but would be a

786
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 3: nice feeling to have your playoff ticket punch by.

787
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 4: Week thirteen orteen.

788
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 3: So big opportunity here for Buffalo to honestly take advantage

789
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,479
Speaker 3: of a vulnerable four metters team right now. This team

790
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 3: has lost to Mojo a lot of injuries as well,

791
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 3: but Mojo seems to not be on the side of

792
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 3: San Francisco.

793
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: That's kind of the take we have too. They're a

794
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 1: good team, they've got and they could beat anybody on

795
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: a given Sunday, but it just seems like something, some

796
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: ingredient is missing. Now. Certainly they've got players in and out,

797
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: but they don't seem like the forty nine ers we

798
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: thought they were going to be at the beginning of

799
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: the year.

800
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, this team really and maybe it's fatigue of playing

801
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 3: a lot of big games in recent season and going

802
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 3: to the mat and losing in overtime last year, the

803
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 3: People Bowl, and injuries. I don't want to discount the

804
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 3: importance of those, because they've been without plenty of players,

805
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 3: you know, season ending injuries like Brandon Ayuk and a

806
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 3: bunch of other players. But I tell you what, guys,

807
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 3: they have lost their edge right now. And if you're

808
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 3: San Francisco, if you don't win on Sunday night, I

809
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 3: mean you might be thinking about the off season already.

810
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 3: Because while they do play in the NFC West, which

811
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 3: is wide open, you know, five and seven, I mean,

812
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 3: that is very daunting task to overcome for a team

813
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,919
Speaker 3: that certainly expected to be right back in the mix,

814
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,760
Speaker 3: to be at top of the NFC. So it feels

815
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 3: like the tail two very different tales right now. The

816
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 3: Bills feeling very good about themselves, coming off of a

817
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 3: very impressive victory, going into their bye week, relatively healthy,

818
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,760
Speaker 3: getting healthier on the defensive side of the ball, especially

819
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 3: the offensive line.

820
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 4: Could be back intact as well, relatively soon.

821
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 3: So good time for Buffalo to you know, not let

822
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 3: you know, you don't get ahead of yourself, right you

823
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 3: be looking past any opponent here. But if they continue

824
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 3: to sort of fight round by round. This team is

825
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 3: going to be in really good shape to say that

826
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 3: number one seed in the AFC.

827
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, two very different seasons for each teams, that is

828
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 2: for sure. Field, We want to thank you for joining

00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 2: to break out down the stretch after the bye? Do

849
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 2: you have a player in mind that you think, Man,

850
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 2: it's your time to shine Week thirteen on deck. You've

851
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 2: shown up in some games, but let's see it be

852
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:42,240
Speaker 2: consistent the rest of the way. We're gonna start with Jess.

853
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 2: Jess says, I believe it's Dunt Kincaid. As soon as

854
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 2: he's healthy, he should get more separation, especially if Coleman

855
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 2: is back with Cooper. I love this and answer don't.

856
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 2: Kinkaid missed last week. Not last week because we were

857
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 2: on a bye last week, but the game before that

858
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 2: not a part of the lineup due to an injury.

859
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 2: We still aren't sure of the severity of that knee injury.

860
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 2: Didn't get much of an update ahead of that game

861
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 2: or coming out of the game because the Bills had

862
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 2: a bye week. We haven't spoken to Sean McDermott yet

863
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 2: or any of the coordinators or players. That will happen

864
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 2: tomorrow once practice begins, So we'll hear from Sean McDermott

865
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 2: ahead of practice tomorrow early afternoon hoping to get some

866
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 2: good news on several players, but don't Kinkaid is a

867
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 2: great answer. I think early on in the season, Kinkaid

868
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 2: was somebody who you look at the stat sheet, you're

869
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 2: hoping this guy is going to have a breakout season.

870
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 2: He's bound for it. In his rookie season, he showed

871
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 2: great promise. What's going on in year number two and

872
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 2: a lot of that is because the dude has just

873
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,240
Speaker 2: doubled all the time because you're trying to take away

874
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 2: one of the best options on the field. Allow Josh

875
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 2: Allen to not allow keep Josh Allen from throwing. Don't

876
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 2: kin Kaid's way with Amari Cooper a part of the

877
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 2: mix now in Kean Coleman showing us what he has,

878
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 2: I think that opens up some opportunities for Dalton Kinkaid.

879
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, no question. When the season started, Kincaid was the

880
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: only known commodity, so he got attention and it's it's

881
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: stayed that way. The Bills went three and oh, then

882
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: lost to Then, so you're five weeks into the season.

883
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,479
Speaker 1: The Bills were like, Okay, we got him, and let's

884
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: keep doing this to Kincaid. And now he's been hurt

885
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks he is. I think this

886
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: has been one of those years where people were waiting,

887
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: and certainly now Shakir has probably garnered enough attention that

888
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: I'll take some of the attention away from Kinkaid when

889
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: he gets back on the field. Amari Cooper is a

890
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: wild card has been added now. They don't know about that,

891
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: about how much he is going to be used, and

892
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: certainly they've seen him on film now. But Kinkaid is

893
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: one of those guys that may get more opportunities because

894
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: the rest of the offense, like we've talked about with

895
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: the injuries and guys in and out and how they're

896
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: doing it with all these guys, when the rest of

897
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: the offense commands more attention away from him, You're right.

898
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: In that first game, right out of the gate, Kincaid

899
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: was suffocated. It was It was obvious, and I get it,

900
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,800
Speaker 1: and we spent the entire offseason saying who's it gonna be.

901
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: Arizona was all over him in that first game, so

902
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: were the Dolphins. Jacksonville wasn't on anybody. I mean, they

903
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,320
Speaker 1: couldn't stop anything. We hung forty seven points on those guys,

904
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: But Kinkaid was the focal point of the defenses early

905
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: in the season, and you know, Buffalo continued to win

906
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: left handed until they got to the Ravens in the

907
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: Houston Texans of the world. I just feel like when

908
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 1: you're looking at this team, you know, especially early in

909
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: the first half of the season, people didn't know who

910
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 1: else to guard. Now they've got Shakir he's he's a force.

911
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: And now you've got Coleman, and you've got you know,

912
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: James Cook. You've got other guys who have emerged and

913
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: started to be dependable, particularly with now with Kinkaid out

914
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: of the lineup. Now defense are gonna have to reevaluate

915
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: the priority settings for who they're gonna double and who

916
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna triple. But early on, there's no question about it,

917
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: Kinkaid was the guy.

918
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 2: So far, Kincaid has thirty four catches, three hundred and

919
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 2: fifty six receiving yards two touchdowns. Compare that to rookie season,

920
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 2: he had seventy three catches for six hundred and seventy

921
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 2: three receiving yards and two touchdowns. So already has the

922
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 2: amount of touchdowns that he had last year. But I

923
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 2: think we're all looking to see Kincaid really not take

924
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 2: that next step, but start to be more of a

925
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 2: part of the offense because of the way that defenses

926
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 2: are defending this offense as a whole now with different

927
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 2: players being involved a lot more and kind of coming

928
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 2: out here as we finished the regular season. All right,

929
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 2: Our next answer is from Sula rookie class being really

930
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 2: added some quality to the roster. Like to see offensive

931
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 2: line assert itself to the ground to ground out runs.

932
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,280
Speaker 2: The defense has come together. Get the rookie defensive lineman

933
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 2: and Milano back should bode well for gearing up for

934
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 2: the playoff push. Definitely, defensive tackle Dwayne Carter is available

935
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 2: to return. He was placed on IR four weeks ago,

936
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 2: has missed his four games, so he's capable and able

937
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 2: to return to the lineup if they decide to open

938
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 2: up his window and let him back on the roster,

939
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 2: depending on how you know rehab is going and everything

940
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 2: like that was out due to that wrist injury alongside

941
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 2: Dewan Smoot. Dwan Smoot I believe still has two games

942
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 2: according to how many games he has to miss now

943
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 2: being placed on IRS four weeks four games. Bye week

944
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 2: does not count as a week, so two more games

945
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 2: left for him. But if you look at the rookie

946
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 2: class at large, Kean Coleman in the last few weeks

947
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 2: before he got injured, I think really started to impose

948
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 2: his will on opposing defenses and just show like, this

949
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 2: is what I'm about, this is what I stand for,

950
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 2: this is what I want to be known for. You

951
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 2: could see the physicality come out, and I think that

952
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 2: was because maybe the understanding of the offense was there

953
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 2: and he just felt like, I can be free and

954
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 2: play how I want to play now, and you really

955
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 2: started to see that. So it would be awesome to

956
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 2: see him continue to do that once he's healthy. We

957
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 2: also don't know what his status is. We know it's

958
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 2: it's like wrist arm injury. Has not been a part

959
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 2: of the lineup for the last couple of weeks. Hopefully

960
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,799
Speaker 2: we get an update on Coleman as well tomorrow. But

961
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 2: the rookies in totality have been a factor in these games.

962
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 2: You add Ray Davis to the mix, and you know

963
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 2: the defensive lineman as well have been helpful. Javon Solomon too.

964
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think about it. Cole Bishop was on the

965
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 1: roster from the word go. Dwayne's carter was a big contributor,

966
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: Ray Davis, Keyon, Coleman, Cedric Van Pran Granger is on

967
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: the roster, you know, waiting his turn at Afon Ulafohio,

968
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: Javon Solomon, all these guys. I mean being told us

969
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: he had to nail this draft. And these guys are

970
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: on the roster because they earned it. I mean, they're

971
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,879
Speaker 1: they're contributing now. Certainly you want to see what Cole

972
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: Bishop has in the tank if he gets a chance

973
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:19,720
Speaker 1: to do that. Dwayne Carter was really helping out before

974
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: his injury, so I'm that's a good tweet. The rookie

975
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: class has shown up led by Keon, and I think

976
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be a lot of fun to watch

977
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:36,359
Speaker 1: them progress. And when you come down the stretch if

978
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: it all ended today, they're not rookies anymore anyway, so

979
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:42,479
Speaker 1: you really don't really treat them like rookies anymore. They're

980
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: they're pro players and they're playing like it. I think

981
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 1: this has been a really good rookie class thus far.

982
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: We'll see how far they get.

983
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 2: They're fresh off the bye week, too, so hopefully a

984
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 2: week off helps that class get a little bit some

985
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 2: fresh legs underneath them. This is also the time of

986
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,800
Speaker 2: the season. You think about week twelve, week thirteen, where

987
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 2: college football seasons are over. At this point, you're entering

988
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 2: into college football playoff, bowl games, all of that, and

989
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 2: so you hear about the rookie wall. It's definitely a thing.

990
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 2: I spoke to Osiris Torrents about it last year and

991
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 2: he said, you know, the difference between year one and

992
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 2: year two is vast for so many reasons, but hitting

993
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 2: the rookie wall, you really had to fight through it.

994
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 2: And you know, you've got six more weeks ahead of

995
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 2: you in the regular season and then the playoffs, so

996
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:35,879
Speaker 2: hopefully they use the bye week to think.

997
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: And it's like there's no wind in sight. You know,

998
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: the college football season's winding up, and you're just kind

999
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 1: of starting to look ahead towards you know, the postseason

1000
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: in bowl game all. You don't practice like that. It's

1001
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: like a you're just like in the midst of it

1002
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: at this point. You start before they start and you

1003
00:51:55,719 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: end way after they do. And then the NFL it

1004
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,919
Speaker 1: just keeps going. The season just keeps rolling along, and

1005
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: you get a guys in there for the first time,

1006
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: you're like, WHOA, yeah, he's like Oh my god. You know,

1007
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: he's like, what still playing? We got all these games left, right,

1008
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 1: It's mentally it's a mental burden as much as is

1009
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 1: a physical one, and it takes a minute to get

1010
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: acclimated to that. I think most NFL teams have begun

1011
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 1: to address it in certain ways with scheduling, with messaging

1012
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: to the young guys, with the way they handle them

1013
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: at this point of the season and also later in

1014
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: the season. You kind of get them geared up for

1015
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 1: that and you start to let them know it's come.

1016
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: You know this, this season's got a long way to go,

1017
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: long way to go, long way to go, so that

1018
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: they know that they don't look for an end to it.

1019
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 1: So most teams have started to address it because it

1020
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: is has been a thing in the past and they

1021
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 1: want to get out in front of it.

1022
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 2: Coming up in the two o'clock hour, we've got ESPN

Speaker 1: official mobile sports betting partner of the Buffalo Bills. Dan's

1031
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: good to see you again. Take one last little hit

1032
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: back at the Chiefs game and how it set the

1033
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:40,839
Speaker 1: Bills up for the bye week. It always feels good

1034
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,399
Speaker 1: to go in with a win, particularly against a team

1035
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 1: like that.

1036
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's especially with the way the AFC

1037
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 6: is kind of folding out, you know, and how everything

1038
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 6: is playing out. The one seed is obviously very much

1039
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 6: so alive. You know, the division is fuels stranglehold. But

1040
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 6: my he's obviously playing really good football the past couple weeks.

1041
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,399
Speaker 6: But I think, just in totality, you have to love

1042
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 6: the way that the offense played because it seemed like

1043
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:12,800
Speaker 6: they were consistently a step above or a beat ahead,

1044
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 6: or kind of anticipating what they were going to get.

1045
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 6: You know, you do it without some key players in

1046
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:22,359
Speaker 6: the defense kind of dominates the football game, and that's

1047
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 6: obviously the recipe, the connected part of you know, the

1048
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 6: football game. So you've got to love the fact that

1049
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 6: you dominated. You get some rest and now it's the

1050
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:31,359
Speaker 6: final stretch for them.

1051
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you this. I was around when

1052
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,279
Speaker 1: the when the buy first started, and it was a

1053
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 1: big question. It was always the question like is it

1054
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 1: a nice time for the bye week? And you know,

1055
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: pretty quickly we all found out every week is a

1056
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 1: great time for a bye week. Right, So the Bills

1057
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: are going to get They got a chance to get

1058
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 1: Ken Kaid back in the lineup. Spencer Brown obviously the

1059
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: right tackle, should be back in the lineup, Keon Coleman

1060
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 1: could be back in the lineup, and but most importantly,

1061
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 1: Matt Mulano might be back an All Pro linebacker who

1062
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: hasn't played a snap this year. But you got a

1063
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: guy like Dorian Williams on a pretty good defense who's

1064
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: playing at a high level. How do you handle that?

1065
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 1: I mean it's a tough balancing I certainly these guys

1066
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:08,800
Speaker 1: are buddies and everybody wants to play. How do you

1067
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: handle that as a coaching staff? And what do you

1068
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 1: think it means for the defense going forward?

1069
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:14,839
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1070
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 6: I think, first of all, two things could be true

1071
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:18,839
Speaker 6: at the same time. Dorian's played good football and Matt

1072
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 6: Mlona's a special talent, right, And so you have to

1073
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 6: understand that. I would expect the staff to kind of

1074
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 6: treat December a little bit like the.

1075
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 5: Preseason for Milana.

1076
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 6: You know, maybe you build him in do you like

1077
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 6: him this week on first down? Or do you like

1078
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 6: him on third down? Do you like him in a

1079
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 6: blitz situation where you're getting him back into the mix

1080
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 6: because it's the comfort and the luxury of Dorian's played

1081
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 6: really high level football and so you don't need It's

1082
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 6: not a weakness where oh my gosh, we got to

1083
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 6: get this guy back on the field, but you are

1084
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,839
Speaker 6: also understanding he's a difference maker. And then, you know,

1085
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 6: for the Bills, the bye week comes at one of

1086
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 6: those really opportunistic times where, you know, right at Thanksgiving,

1087
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 6: where everybody knows in the end the football starts to

1088
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 6: become different and more meaningful.

1089
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 5: The bye wee cappens. So season one's done.

1090
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 6: This is season two now, and this is kind of

1091
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 6: a new, separate season because however many games are left

1092
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:15,800
Speaker 6: for them, what seven, you're you're hoping to play another

1093
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 6: eleven games if you're them, ten eleven games, you know,

1094
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 6: And so I think you really want to be focused

1095
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 6: on Matt Milano being Matt Milano for the second half

1096
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 6: of that second season.

1097
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 1: And I'll say this too, there's a scenario that's not

1098
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:31,839
Speaker 1: all that unplausible where if Miami goes to green Bay

1099
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: and win, and two A wins for the first time

1100
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: in a cold weather game, and the Bills beat the Niners,

1101
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: and if Towa loses the green Bay game and the

1102
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 1: Bills beat the Niners, the Bills clinch. So that does

1103
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: give Buffalo some leeway. They're in the They're going to

1104
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 1: be in the tournament, so they do have some leeway

1105
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: to kind of tinker with things going forward and line

1106
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: it up for the end of the season. Although, as

1107
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 1: you said, the number one seed is still on the table.

1108
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,040
Speaker 1: How does the clinching if they clinch this week, and

1109
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 1: how's that change all of this for you as a coach?

1110
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 5: If I was coaching, that wouldn't change anything.

1111
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 6: You know, philosophically, I want everyone to come to Orchard Park.

1112
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:12,760
Speaker 6: I want people to have to play in that environment.

1113
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 6: I think it's I've been there fortunate enough a couple

1114
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,919
Speaker 6: of times to play and certainly to call a couple

1115
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 6: of games. I think it's a difference maker. I think

1116
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 6: that place, the weather, the fans, the juice the environment.

1117
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 6: You know, everyone raves about the Twelfth Man in Seattle.

1118
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 6: I think it has that type of feeling vibe. So

1119
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 6: I think that there's big goals obviously, and I would

1120
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 6: want I would want the AFC to have to go

1121
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 6: through Orchard Park if I were the Bills.

1122
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think for most people here in Buffalo,

1123
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,919
Speaker 1: they're thinking forget home field or not. They want to buy.

1124
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: They want an extra buy, particularly because this team's been

1125
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 1: haunted and they've overcome it, but haunted by injuries. This

1126
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 1: guy's out, that guy's out. Long term short term stuff.

1127
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,479
Speaker 1: The buye people are starting to realize is the most

1128
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: coveted thing even perhaps what do you say, would you

1129
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:00,479
Speaker 1: rather have a buy or a game?

1130
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 5: You always the bye because you have to win one

1131
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 5: last game.

1132
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just math, right, It's hard to win

1133
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 6: three games a row in that league versus high end opponents.

1134
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 5: So definitely having.

1135
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 6: To win less games to win the Super Bowl is

1136
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 6: the most important thing.

1137
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 5: But I don't also want to minimize playing.

1138
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: There is different We've been going around and around on

1139
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball. This last weekend, they

1140
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:30,479
Speaker 1: won a game without Keon Coleman, without Dalton Kincaid. They've

1141
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 1: got to feel really good about that. But getting them

1142
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: back in and of course Curtis Samuel had a little

1143
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 1: bit of a bust out the last couple of weeks,

1144
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: as has mac holland. So they have been doing it

1145
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 1: with a committee of guys who have each and every

1146
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: one every week has a different guy has stepped up.

1147
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,439
Speaker 1: What do you think the position groups and how they've

1148
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: handled the injuries and getting these guys back, what do

1149
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: you think that boats you know, for the future. I mean,

1150
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 1: Dan how, I don't even know if I can think

1151
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 1: back to the beginning of the season where all these

1152
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: guys were healthy. At least if they were healthy, nobody

1153
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 1: knew what they had because they're all new. Now, you know,

1154
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: it's been it's a weird season.

1155
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1156
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 6: So I think the philosophy of it is very interesting

1157
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 6: with the present day NFL because you have teams and

1158
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 6: offensively that are incredible offensive units that have either game

1159
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 6: changing or number one wide receivers Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson,

1160
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 6: Tyreek Hill.

1161
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 5: AJ Brown, Collins AJ Brown.

1162
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 6: Right, So you have teams that are dominant offensively that

1163
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 6: have that number one guy, and then you have teams

1164
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 6: that are kind of high end offensive units that believe

1165
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 6: depth more than high end elite number one and the

1166
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 6: Bills fall into the latter category. Obviously a bunch of

1167
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 6: really good players, but they don't have the number one.

1168
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 6: And I think the philosophy when you are in that

1169
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 6: situation is you're always trying.

1170
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 5: To find the matchup.

1171
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 6: You're always trying to find all, right, well, maybe they

1172
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 6: got a really good corner man that Nicol's great, and

1173
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 6: that's safety's good and garbage. But how's the third corner,

1174
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,959
Speaker 6: how's the fourth And is our guy better than that guy?

1175
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 6: Or can we create our third or fourth guy advantageous situations?

1176
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 6: And I think that's what Joe Brady in the offense

1177
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 6: really has done throughout the season is Hey, you know this, this.

1178
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 5: This player is probably not the guy this week.

1179
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's gonna be Shakir in the slaughter, It's

1180
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 6: gonna be Kincaid on some out. I think that's the

1181
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 6: beauty of the depth is you're really trying to They

1182
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 6: have done a great job of figuring out, Okay, this

1183
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 6: guy's really good at this stuff. Does that work this game?

1184
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 6: Does that create an advantage for us this game? And

1185
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 6: that's kind of the way they've gone molding their game plans.

1186
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 1: Yep. So we've got this game forty nine ers coming in.

1187
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 1: Brock pretty sat down last week. Nick Bosa sat down

1188
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 1: last week and it the Niners were affected by it. Right,

1189
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:52,439
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? I mean, I think pretty through

1190
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 1: it practiced yesterday for the Niners, So it looks like

1191
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 1: he's got a chance anyway, Nick Bosa, who knows talk

1192
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 1: about this game that are slowly but surely painting themselves

1193
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 1: into a corner. The deeper you get, the fewer games

1194
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 1: you have to climb out of it. They're not in

1195
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: a big hole. One game right, two games tops? What

1196
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 1: are your thoughts about this Niners team coming in on

1197
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 1: a Sunday night game in Buffalo.

1198
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're catching them at a unique time.

1199
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 6: I'd say this because one, I do think there's desperation

1200
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 6: that they know they've been to the NFC title game

1201
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 6: three out of four seasons, Super Bowl in back to

1202
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 6: back years, or two out of the last three years,

1203
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 6: and they lose it on the last play like this

1204
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 6: was the super Bowl season, it felt like, And so

1205
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 6: they know every week because at some point Seattle or

1206
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 6: the Rams are Atlanta, Arizona's going to maybe pull away.

1207
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 6: So there's a desperation element to how they're going to play.

1208
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 6: There's also oh my gosh, they're banged up, and I

1209
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 6: think before anything gets talked about when it comes to

1210
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 6: the situation where they stand. The main problem in San

1211
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 6: Francisco this whole season has been their offensive line is

1212
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 6: not the offensive line of old. They have not captured

1213
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 6: the line of scrimmage consistently. They get beaten one on

1214
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 6: one blocks consistently, and then you add McCaffrey just trying

1215
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 6: to find.

1216
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 5: His way back in it.

1217
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 6: They don't dominate the line of scrimmage anymore, and that

1218
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 6: completely has a butterfly effect to everything on the offense.

1219
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 6: A Yuke's injury, they don't really have the vertical threat

1220
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 6: right now, so that's as it's a big problem, and

1221
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 6: you know they're they're they're trying to figure it out.

1222
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 6: But that's their main thing is they can't dominate the line.

1223
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 1: What about Kyle Shanahan, how's he had? What's he doing

1224
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 1: with his offense? I mean I saw McCaffrey. He looked pedestrian. Uh,

1225
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 1: and I don't know whether he's still got lingering effects

1226
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 1: from the tendonitis, I mean both achilles. I mean I've

1227
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 1: never had that Aleman. I've had a lot of them,

1228
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: but I've never had what he's going through, and he did.

1229
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 1: He looked pedestrian. Maybe some of that is the offensive

1230
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 1: line issues you talked about.

1231
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say CMC and Deebo haven't been necessarily

1232
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 6: the difference makers that were we've been accustomed to.

1233
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 5: Again, I think you know, Kyle is trying to figure.

1234
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 6: Out how to call plays with the offense line that

1235
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 6: is average at best. So early downs you're sitting there

1236
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 6: going don't love a lot of the stuff that you

1237
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 6: can get into. And really, ever since that Iuke injury,

1238
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 6: who's the vertical threat, who's the big play down the field?

1239
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 5: Because the Packers all are the forty nine ers.

1240
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 6: Offense I've always said is like an accordion. You know,

1241
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:20,919
Speaker 6: when it's shrunk down, it's not doing much. It's when

1242
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 6: you expand it that that's where the beauty of it is.

1243
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 6: And you can't expand that stuff and stretch the field

1244
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 6: vertically without vertical speed because what they want to do

1245
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 6: is constantly Kyle wants to go vertical and horizontal at

1246
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 6: the same time, and that's what makes them so brutal

1247
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 6: to handle.

1248
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 5: Well, they don't really have the vertical guy anymore, and with.

1249
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 6: The offensive line not dominating in CMC and DBO maybe

1250
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 6: not looking like themselves, they don't have the horizontal right

1251
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 6: now as well. So they're playing much more in like

1252
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 6: a phone booth than they ever have under Kyle.

1253
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 1: What are their I mean, so the Bills are getting

1254
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: ready for this offense and Kyle is he's a brilliant

1255
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: play caller. I mean it. What do you think the

1256
01:03:56,880 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: Bills see in this Niners offense that gives them him

1257
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:02,439
Speaker 1: a chance to, you know, maybe make some hay.

1258
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean the philosophy is going to be relatively

1259
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 6: similar to some of the stuff that they see from Miami,

1260
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 6: obviously with Mike McDaniel coming from Kyle Shanahan. I think

1261
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 6: the one thing that's very different in the style of

1262
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 6: play is the quarterback's legs are a bigger part, much

1263
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:20,240
Speaker 6: bigger part in San Francisco than they are in Miami.

1264
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 5: So being focused on that, I'll.

1265
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 6: Be interested to see if the Bills take up times

1266
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 6: the philosophy that they did against the Chiefs, which where

1267
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 6: they said we think we're better than you guys across

1268
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 6: the board, and we could play man coverage against you

1269
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 6: guys and tried it because again, you know, Piarsol's been

1270
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 6: nice at moments, Jennings is phenomenal. That's the guy in

1271
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 6: the past game right now that you feel like you

1272
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 6: gotta stop. So can they match up on the perimeter

1273
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 6: against those two guys. Do they feel like they can

1274
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 6: have the like a tear and follow Debo and man

1275
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 6: the man him, and then the kid will match up

1276
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 6: with a safety or a backer. You know, maybe that's

1277
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 6: the Milano situation. We'll find out and see. So I'll

1278
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 6: be interested to see if defensively they feel like we're

1279
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 6: going to play some man coverage, We're gonna spy Rock

1280
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 6: a little bit, and we're gonna try to dominate the

1281
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:04,479
Speaker 6: line of scrimmage to make sure the run never gets

1282
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:06,120
Speaker 6: started because it's struggled all year.

1283
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: What about okay, now it was flip it around the

1284
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 1: bills offense comes in. You said, they got it. They

1285
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: do it. They're doing it with a ton of guys.

1286
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 1: They got this. You know, a lot of depth, and

1287
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: they can throw a lot of different people at you,

1288
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 1: not only just personnel combinations, but different people within those

1289
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 1: same personnel combinations. I mean, you switch out Hollins and

1290
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 1: Keon Coleman, and you switch out you know, you get

1291
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:29,959
Speaker 1: Cooper back in the mix. I mean, so you've got

1292
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:32,800
Speaker 1: the same personnel, like three wide receivers a tight end

1293
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:34,480
Speaker 1: in the back, but they're three different wideouts, you know

1294
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So they got all this stuff going on, right,

1295
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 1: what are the forty nine ers see? And how do

1296
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 1: the Bills match up with them on that side of

1297
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 1: the ball.

1298
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's a good matchup for Buffalo, depending

1299
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 6: on the health obviously, if some of the stuff going

1300
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:49,480
Speaker 6: on in San Francisco will see if Bosa plays. If

1301
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 6: he plays, he's the key and there's no question about it,

1302
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 6: he could wreck the football game. I think the two

1303
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 6: things to look forward to in this game from Buffalo's

1304
01:05:57,080 --> 01:06:01,960
Speaker 6: offensive perspective, San Francisco has not stopped the run when

1305
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 6: you put two tight ends on the field and just

1306
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 6: run it right at them. So again I've talked about

1307
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 6: it a lot this year. I would expect a double

1308
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 6: tight end or a six offensive line group that Buffalo's

1309
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 6: kind of majored in this year, and to run the

1310
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 6: ball right at San Francisco with some of their duo concepts.

1311
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 5: The second thing is, and.

1312
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:19,760
Speaker 6: I've talked about this, We've talked about this Steve a

1313
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 6: lot Is. Go back and think about that Houston Texans

1314
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 6: game from Buffalo and oh my gosh, they've played awful,

1315
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 6: And we talked about they really didn't play awful. They

1316
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 6: just took shots down the field and they didn't hit one.

1317
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 6: They took five and didn't hit one. And one of

1318
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 6: the ways to take your shots on San Francisco's secondary

1319
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 6: is you got to attack their safeties. Whether it's a

1320
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 6: little bit of a concept where you're trying to get

1321
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 6: their eyes down in the backfield and you can throw

1322
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 6: a big post or a crossroad the top, or you

1323
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 6: double move them, because that's exactly again, these trees are

1324
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 6: very similar Houston Demico Ryans, and so I think that's

1325
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,919
Speaker 6: something to look at. Is again talking about that run game,

1326
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 6: but in their pass game, the ball, you can kick

1327
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 6: the ball to the perimeter all you want against San Francisco,

1328
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:08,440
Speaker 6: they're gonna give you that stuff. How they tackle in

1329
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 6: space is a long way. But to hit big plays,

1330
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 6: you gotta go at these safeties. And it'll come down

1331
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 6: to does Josh and make the throw when that is there,

1332
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 6: unlike he did in Houston or not.

1333
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Dan, Let's talk a little bit big picture.

1334
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 1: You saw the Monday night game last night, the Baltimore

1335
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:29,760
Speaker 1: Ravens took it to the Chargers. I said yesterday Baltimore

1336
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 1: needed that game. If they don't win that game, they

1337
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:33,960
Speaker 1: got the Philadelphia Eagles coming in all of a sudden.

1338
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:36,960
Speaker 1: They hit their buy with a three game losing streak, right,

1339
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:41,720
Speaker 1: I mean it's rough on them, but they looked dominant again.

1340
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 1: And why is it? Do you think that once in

1341
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 1: a while Baltimore looks gettable and other times they look unstoppable.

1342
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1343
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 6: I think that the self inflicted wounds are a huge

1344
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 6: part of Baltimore.

1345
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 5: I don't know why that happens, do.

1346
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 6: I think it's a little bit to the you know,

1347
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 6: there's something to be said to the style of play

1348
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 6: that Lamar has. They've never choked it out rightfully. So

1349
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 6: he's got a chance to win three MVP trophies. And

1350
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:10,400
Speaker 6: so I think that kind of like that free style

1351
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 6: of play at sometimes promotes a free kind of you know,

1352
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 6: you're trying not to overcoach, and maybe that maybe misses

1353
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:21,000
Speaker 6: on some details or some focus at some point. That's

1354
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:22,840
Speaker 6: a little bit of an assumption on my end, but

1355
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 6: I think that is part of it as well. Listen,

1356
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:28,840
Speaker 6: I thought the defense played better. I don't think the

1357
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 6: defense was great. You know, when you watch the All

1358
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:34,759
Speaker 6: twenty two copy where there's still some blown coverages, yep.

1359
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:37,640
Speaker 6: Do I think drops helped then not to give up

1360
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:38,719
Speaker 6: thirty plus points?

1361
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 5: Yep?

1362
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 6: And so while the offense is remarkable when they're on,

1363
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:45,320
Speaker 6: I do believe that this defense at Baltimore is gettable

1364
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 6: by offense.

1365
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 5: Isn't that in that conference?

1366
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,200
Speaker 1: All right? Is just back to the AFC East Miami.

1367
01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:51,599
Speaker 1: They're on a little bit of a tear. They're they're

1368
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 1: playing really good offensively. Even in the game they lost

1369
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, they played very well offensively. They had

1370
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:58,680
Speaker 1: it going on, and they've got it going on. Is

1371
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: that going to be enough? Can they squead in the

1372
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 1: back end? I mean they're chasing Denver really right, I

1373
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 1: mean they're chasing Denver.

1374
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:07,720
Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be hard to track Denver down.

1375
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 5: I do.

1376
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 6: I think Denver Bone Knicks is playing so good and

1377
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 6: it's not Dank and don offense. Their defense is great.

1378
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 6: I do think They're really fascinating. Think about Miami's We

1379
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,719
Speaker 6: know the offense is great, Tula and Tyreek and Waddell

1380
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:22,599
Speaker 6: and Mike McDaniel. One, it's fair to ask how they

1381
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:24,840
Speaker 6: perform in the weather will be a part of the conversation.

1382
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 6: We'll get a little glimpse of that on Thursday night

1383
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:28,679
Speaker 6: Things Giving Night up in Green Bay.

1384
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:32,040
Speaker 5: But this defense is a different unit in Miami this

1385
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 5: year under Anthony.

1386
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 6: I think that's the thing that I have I don't

1387
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 6: want to say the most confidence in, but I don't

1388
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:41,640
Speaker 6: think the offense has to go in that weather be

1389
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:44,760
Speaker 6: lights out, because I do think that this defensive unit

1390
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 6: will keep them in a bunch of games. So chasing

1391
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:50,639
Speaker 6: down Denver will be a challenge, but I think it's

1392
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:52,879
Speaker 6: I think it's at least an option for Miami.

1393
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 1: So you get in this it's looking like the four

1394
01:09:55,560 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 1: division winners. I mean, no question, although Houston is limping. Yeah,

1395
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 1: they are in flames and descending fast. That game they

1396
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:08,679
Speaker 1: had this last week against Tennessee was a great example.

1397
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 1: What do you think the problem is for the text?

1398
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 1: Are they going to be able to hang on? I

1399
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 1: mean the division is not strong, Yeah, so they may

1400
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:23,000
Speaker 1: win by default, but they really look like they're hurting.

1401
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they hang on.

1402
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:28,280
Speaker 6: I would say this offensively, they got to get back

1403
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:32,760
Speaker 6: to really focusing on some details, you know, like the

1404
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 6: details that you as you get into this time of

1405
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 6: the season. The spacing of some of their past concepts

1406
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 6: have great. Their offensive line is not a good pass protecting,

1407
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:43,559
Speaker 6: you know. I've talked about that week one, so they've

1408
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:45,559
Speaker 6: got to mask that a little bit. But they really

1409
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 6: got to hone in on the details of their past

1410
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:49,960
Speaker 6: game everybody, because that has led to some turnovers in

1411
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 6: the past couple of weeks and everyone's going, oh, CG.

1412
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 5: Stroud stinks.

1413
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:56,759
Speaker 6: I would argue that the details of what they're doing stink.

1414
01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 6: And then defensively, you know, their their defense, they got

1415
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 6: shots hit over their head. It's a little bit like

1416
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 6: I talked about with Buffalo, Like if those safeties get

1417
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 6: over aggressive and the ball goes over their head and

1418
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:12,760
Speaker 6: you hit them, That's exactly what Tennessee did, and so

1419
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 6: I think there needs to be a focus in Houston

1420
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 6: on that.

1421
01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 5: But I still think they're dangerous enough because they're talent.

1422
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:21,719
Speaker 1: Okay, now the big question. Houston just had the huge

1423
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:28,719
Speaker 1: win over Baltimore, Pittsburgh did and they man, they they're

1424
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:31,800
Speaker 1: the ugliest eight and three team you'll ever lay eyes on, right,

1425
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they just bite and claw, and certainly their

1426
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: defense is the reason it looks like that. What about

1427
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and their long term answer, I mean, RUSS can't

1428
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:44,920
Speaker 1: be the long term answer. The guys as old as

1429
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:46,799
Speaker 1: you and I yeah.

1430
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:51,680
Speaker 6: I mean, well, yeah, Russ is playing good football. I

1431
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:54,320
Speaker 6: think this is where I don't know if Pittsburgh's so

1432
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 6: long term vision right now. I think Pittsburgh looks at

1433
01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:00,080
Speaker 6: AFC and goes, well, why not us. It's not like

1434
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:03,759
Speaker 6: there's this clear runaway team like the NFCU Go Detroit, Philly,

1435
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh.

1436
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:06,519
Speaker 5: So there's really good teams.

1437
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:08,680
Speaker 6: I think Pittsburgh believes that they are, you know, right

1438
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:12,639
Speaker 6: into that echelon. Pittsburgh's a little bit or different than

1439
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:16,839
Speaker 6: let's say of Baltimore or even maybe Kansas City, because

1440
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 6: I do think both of those teams have the ability

1441
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 6: to beat themselves. You know, Kansas City can play so

1442
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 6: bad at left tackle or so disconnected on defense right

1443
01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 6: now where they can hurt themselves the same with Baltimore.

1444
01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 6: I don't think Pittsburgh's gonna beat themselves. You know, they're

1445
01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 6: not gonna have a ton of penalties. I don't think

1446
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:35,240
Speaker 6: they're gonna have a ton of turnovers. You know, they're

1447
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:38,439
Speaker 6: not gonna give games away, so to speak. I don't know.

1448
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:39,960
Speaker 5: Like if you.

1449
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:42,800
Speaker 6: Take those teams in the AFC playoffers that are legit,

1450
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:46,440
Speaker 6: and we say the Buffalo's, the Baltimore's, the Kansas City's,

1451
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 6: shoot even the Chargers and Houston, and you go, they

1452
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:52,719
Speaker 6: play good games, A games, A minus games, beat plus games,

1453
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:55,360
Speaker 6: and Pittsburgh does the same. It's Pittsburgh good enough. I

1454
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 6: don't believe that they are. And that's the difference between

1455
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 6: those teams. I think Pittsburgh has to catch those teams

1456
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 6: on like a C game and they play a B

1457
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:05,639
Speaker 6: game or a B game and they play an A game,

1458
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:09,719
Speaker 6: They're gonna have to play over their skis essentially. Can

1459
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:10,240
Speaker 6: they Yes?

1460
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 7: Do?

1461
01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 5: I think they do it? Multiple weeks now, all.

1462
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: Right, last one, we got to talk about the Chiefs.

1463
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:17,880
Speaker 1: They had a gamement in Carolina yesterday that was absolutely

1464
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 1: quintessential Kansas City and with Pat Mahomes Andy Reid, I

1465
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:24,559
Speaker 1: use the term they look like they're playing for their

1466
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:27,640
Speaker 1: playing with their food, totally disinterested for three and a

1467
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 1: half quarters. They flip a switch and Mahomes snaps off

1468
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:33,920
Speaker 1: a thirty one yard run field goal. Thanks for showing up,

1469
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:38,240
Speaker 1: We're done. They look totally disinterested in the regular season

1470
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:41,439
Speaker 1: and just waiting for the rate. And we've seen this before.

1471
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 1: They did it last year. They looked I mean they

1472
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:48,720
Speaker 1: they have a gear with Mahomes and an attitude that

1473
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 1: it looked to me like Mahomes was fighting off a

1474
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:54,879
Speaker 1: yawn all day yesterday or Sunday.

1475
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:55,560
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1476
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 6: I mean, so that's where you get into the conversation

1477
01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:58,759
Speaker 6: about the Chiefs.

1478
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 5: Are they the best team in football?

1479
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 6: Know? Would you put him in the top three or

1480
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:04,080
Speaker 6: four five teams in football this year?

1481
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:06,760
Speaker 5: Probably not? You wouldn't. Are they the team you got

1482
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 5: to go through?

1483
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 6: And that's that's just the reality of what we've seen

1484
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:13,679
Speaker 6: from the track record from this team, the head coach,

1485
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:14,440
Speaker 6: the quarterback.

1486
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:16,120
Speaker 5: It's just the reality.

1487
01:14:16,520 --> 01:14:21,160
Speaker 6: Can you Yes, I don't have a ton of concern

1488
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:24,040
Speaker 6: about their offense. I know what their offense is. I've

1489
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 6: known what their offense is for two years. They do

1490
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 6: as well. That's why they play to their style. Their

1491
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:31,400
Speaker 6: offense is gonna sputter. If they the left tackle struggles

1492
01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:32,880
Speaker 6: or they don't score touchdowns in the red.

1493
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:34,559
Speaker 5: Zone, they're gonna go up and down the field.

1494
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:37,839
Speaker 6: Okay, I get a little bit more concerned or attention

1495
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:39,439
Speaker 6: ever since your guys game against them.

1496
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:43,600
Speaker 5: Defensively, I think it's very clear that they miss the

1497
01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:44,639
Speaker 5: Jerry sneed and now.

1498
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 6: Jalen Watson and I think the number one question that

1499
01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:50,960
Speaker 6: will get answered across the NFL for the remainder of

1500
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 6: this season is what does Steve Spagnolo do? Their defensive

1501
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:56,639
Speaker 6: coording is one of the best ever ever Hall of Famer.

1502
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:00,200
Speaker 6: He wants to be aggressive, he wants to play, he

1503
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:03,600
Speaker 6: wants to blitz. They're getting hurt right now doing that,

1504
01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 6: and that's never really been the case. And I don't

1505
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,160
Speaker 6: those two cover guys not being there is a big

1506
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:11,120
Speaker 6: issue right now, and Buffalo kind of started to expose it,

1507
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 6: and so, you know, I think that's the most fascinating

1508
01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:18,479
Speaker 6: question moving forward is how does that defense settle in?

1509
01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:20,960
Speaker 1: All Right, Dan, Thanks appreciate you. We'll talk to you

1510
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:23,760
Speaker 1: next week. Thanks for coming on, Like always, thanks Bud,

1511
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:26,560
Speaker 1: Happy Thanksgiving. This is one Bills Live and we'll be

1512
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 1: right back.

1513
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:40,680
Speaker 2: We're back here. On One Bill's Live, It's time for

1514
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:45,600
Speaker 2: from the Coach's Office, presented by CfBT, the official technology

1515
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:49,160
Speaker 2: company of the Buffalo Bills. All right, Steve, what are

1516
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 2: the coaches thinking this week as we head into week thirteen?

1517
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:54,320
Speaker 1: Well, to me, I think what are the coaches have

1518
01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:56,599
Speaker 1: to do is because miss this team, they're ready to

1519
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:58,960
Speaker 1: shift gears. They found out all they need to know

1520
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:01,760
Speaker 1: about each other. They're gonna get some guys healthier, whoever's available,

1521
01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:04,639
Speaker 1: and I think the coaching staff should message it. Hey, listen,

1522
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:06,840
Speaker 1: we got a chance to clinch the division with each

1523
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:09,679
Speaker 1: of our wins going forward. Certainly they'll know whether Miami

1524
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: is won or lost on Thursday by the time they

1525
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 1: get to Sunday night. If Miami does lose and they

1526
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 1: got a chance to clinch the division, it's it's your

1527
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:21,120
Speaker 1: it's hands free. Turn them loose and give them what

1528
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:23,519
Speaker 1: they need and tell them and tell them that your

1529
01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 1: coaching staff is going to message to their players on

1530
01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:27,680
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, Listen, we're gonna go for this.

1531
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 1: We need it. It's time to shift gears. I'm gonna

1532
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:31,519
Speaker 1: put this ball in your hands. I'm gonna put it

1533
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:33,240
Speaker 1: in your hands. We're gonna run this play. We're gonna

1534
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 1: this play. This is your chance, and I really put

1535
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:37,759
Speaker 1: it on the players empower them to feel like, Okay,

1536
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:40,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna Our coaching staff believes in us. Now this

1537
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:43,519
Speaker 1: bye week, we're nine and two, and they're gonna put

1538
01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 1: this on my plate to finish. I think it's a

1539
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 1: great message for players knowing the coaching staff as they've

1540
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 1: earned their staff's trust because they were all new guys

1541
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 1: at the skill positions on offense anyway, and in the

1542
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 1: secondary a lot of new guys. I think it's you know,

1543
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:02,719
Speaker 1: the coaches put it in their plate and give them

1544
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 1: some calls that they know are specifically for them. I

1545
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:10,400
Speaker 1: think it's a great way to inspire guys to bring

1546
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 1: their best and if you need to shift gears at

1547
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 1: this point of the season, that's.

1548
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:14,840
Speaker 5: The way to do it.

1549
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 2: The Bills are used to winning the AFC East. They've

1550
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 2: done it for the last four years in a row.

1551
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:22,720
Speaker 2: But if you think about the team, the players who

1552
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:24,880
Speaker 2: are on it, there's a lot of new faces on

1553
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:27,880
Speaker 2: this roster who haven't tasted the type of success that

1554
01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 2: the Bills have had in the past four years. You

1555
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:33,879
Speaker 2: think about a wide receiver like Amari Cooper or Mac Collins.

1556
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 2: These are veteran players who've played for several different teams

1557
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 2: and now are a part of the Buffalo Bills. And

1558
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:44,160
Speaker 2: you heard Cooper in the game against after the game

1559
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 2: against Kansas City and he said, you know, it's so

1560
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:49,679
Speaker 2: awesome to be a part of a team who's winning

1561
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 2: like this. I haven't really experienced this before, getting to

1562
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 2: play with the quarterback like Josh Allen. I'm truly happy

1563
01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:58,519
Speaker 2: in my career right now. I'm having a great time

1564
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:02,600
Speaker 2: And you put your elf in those players' shoes to

1565
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:06,920
Speaker 2: think about. The Bills have been good for a while now,

1566
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:08,880
Speaker 2: but to have new guys on the team who are

1567
01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:11,800
Speaker 2: tasting success like this, it's it's got to be a

1568
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:14,559
Speaker 2: great place to be mindset wise for some of these

1569
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:17,720
Speaker 2: guys who have been dreaming in the NFL, who have

1570
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 2: played for multiple different teams and haven't had success having

1571
01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 2: gotten to the postseason consistently, and now are on a

1572
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:27,559
Speaker 2: team with a quarterback and Josh Allen a head coach

1573
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 2: and Sean McDermott a great scouting department with the chance

1574
01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 2: to clinch the AFC East in Week thirteen.

1575
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll say this too. It's not just about

1576
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:38,880
Speaker 1: being it's not just about winning, although it's a big

1577
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:41,080
Speaker 1: piece of it. You talk to guys, you look and

1578
01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:43,720
Speaker 1: hear what some of these guys are talking about, Like

1579
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper, like you said, the first time he's felt

1580
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 1: joy like that after a game in a long time.

1581
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:50,880
Speaker 1: Von Miller sitting there and he goes, you know, they

1582
01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:52,720
Speaker 1: asking about his quarter because I love that quarterback and

1583
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 1: I love this team. A guy who's won a super Bowl,

1584
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:58,240
Speaker 1: two super Bowls, one with Denver and one with La Rams.

1585
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:00,240
Speaker 1: They've been on a couple of different styles. So you

1586
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:03,320
Speaker 1: got guys like Jordan Phillips who parachutes back in for

1587
01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:07,400
Speaker 1: the third stint as a Buffalo Bill. There seems to

1588
01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 1: be something these guys talk about inside this locker room

1589
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:13,160
Speaker 1: and inside this culture that Sean McDermott, Brandon being, Josh

1590
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:16,559
Speaker 1: Allen and the leaders have built here that is special.

1591
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 1: Guys love playing in this building, they love playing for

1592
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:23,559
Speaker 1: this team, in this locker room, and this quarterback the

1593
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:29,479
Speaker 1: whole thing, and it elevates guys play, and there is

1594
01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:34,640
Speaker 1: something about that that seems to permeate more than just

1595
01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:38,759
Speaker 1: the win losses, although they do contribute to the wins.

1596
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:42,760
Speaker 1: I think the coaches, you know, can lean on that

1597
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 1: and use it to their advantage. And like I said

1598
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:50,040
Speaker 1: from the coach's office getting ready for this game, you've

1599
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 1: got to know, this is a team that wants to

1600
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:55,800
Speaker 1: shift gears and walk down the Kansas City Chiefs. They

1601
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:58,400
Speaker 1: want to get that one seed. It's the one thing

1602
01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:00,680
Speaker 1: along with the Super Bowl all that is the one

1603
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 1: thing they have not gotten on their quest to get

1604
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:08,200
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. If they could get it this

1605
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:10,559
Speaker 1: year and walk down the Chiefs like they walked Miami

1606
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 1: down last year, I think it would go a long

1607
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:15,880
Speaker 1: way towards building their confidence so that you know, a

1608
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 1: team that does have to come into here is just

1609
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:19,679
Speaker 1: too high a hurdle for them to jump.

1610
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:22,879
Speaker 2: Who do you expect to break out down the stretch

1611
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:25,760
Speaker 2: after the bye? That's the question we are asking all

1612
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:27,720
Speaker 2: of you. Go ahead and calls at eight oh three,

1613
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:30,080
Speaker 2: five fifty or tweet at us. We're going to go

1614
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:33,160
Speaker 2: to the phone lines here. Kathy from Buffalo is now

1615
01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:34,639
Speaker 2: on with us. Kathy, how are you doing?

1616
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:37,320
Speaker 8: I'm good man, good good.

1617
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:37,960
Speaker 7: How you doing?

1618
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:39,880
Speaker 1: See you doing great? Thanks for calling.

1619
01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:41,360
Speaker 8: Happy holidays to both of you.

1620
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:43,680
Speaker 2: Yes you as well, do you have a player in

1621
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 2: mind that is going to break out for this team.

1622
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:48,760
Speaker 7: I would like to see von Miller do that.

1623
01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:50,800
Speaker 2: And how come?

1624
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:52,800
Speaker 7: How come?

1625
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:56,840
Speaker 8: Because I really think that if he's just going to

1626
01:20:56,960 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 8: do anything, he would during the playoff us at this time,

1627
01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:04,679
Speaker 8: that we would really use him as a weapon.

1628
01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, most definitely. And why do you think he's capable

1629
01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 2: of doing so.

1630
01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:11,040
Speaker 8: Well?

1631
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:13,439
Speaker 7: I mean he has a I mean he didn't have

1632
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:16,599
Speaker 7: like that's we think he have one?

1633
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 8: Uh tack?

1634
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:21,479
Speaker 2: Yep, you're right against the Chiefs, okay, right.

1635
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:24,200
Speaker 7: So, I mean so that was like, like you know,

1636
01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 7: like all of a sudden, that was a buzz there, right.

1637
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:29,800
Speaker 7: So so my thoughts was like, well, if we have

1638
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:34,280
Speaker 7: that kind of a buzz, you know, maybe it would

1639
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:36,120
Speaker 7: the good if the buzz keeps going.

1640
01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:39,120
Speaker 2: I agree, I agree. Thanks for calling in, Kathy. We

1641
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:43,640
Speaker 2: appreciate you. Yeah, I think von Miller is a great answer.

1642
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:46,519
Speaker 2: He's somebody who came on strong in the beginning of

1643
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:49,719
Speaker 2: the season. I think had three sacks and three games

1644
01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 2: or three sacks of four games. I can't remember exactly

1645
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 2: the amount of games it was, but he came and

1646
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 2: started off with the tear obviously served that four game

1647
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:03,360
Speaker 2: suspension is a part of the lineup again, and you're

1648
01:22:03,439 --> 01:22:08,840
Speaker 2: seeing this veteran player start to level up here, level

1649
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:11,559
Speaker 2: up there, get a sack against the Chiefs. You need

1650
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:13,080
Speaker 2: the defensive line down the stretch.

1651
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:14,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll say this too. If you want to

1652
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:18,879
Speaker 1: have somebody break out, not to say they're they're not important.

1653
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:20,280
Speaker 1: You don't you know, you don't want it to be

1654
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, some special teams guy, right, you want it

1655
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:25,000
Speaker 1: to be. You want to be a pass rusher. You

1656
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 1: want a guy get three sacks a game from here

1657
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:29,439
Speaker 1: to till the end of the season, that kind of thing.

1658
01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:31,439
Speaker 1: You want a guy that's in a position that can

1659
01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:34,960
Speaker 1: really make a difference. You want Josh Allen to bust out, right,

1660
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:39,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you want Amari Cooper or James Cook. You know,

1661
01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:41,920
Speaker 1: you want one of those guys that whose position puts

1662
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:43,800
Speaker 1: them in a spot to make an enormous difference in

1663
01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:46,680
Speaker 1: every game. You want those guys to break out. I

1664
01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 1: don't know what it would look like if o Cyrus

1665
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:51,599
Speaker 1: Torrens had a breakout, you know, I mean, it's hard

1666
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 1: to hard to discern what a guard. Although we had

1667
01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 1: a great game against the Chiefs and we all, you know,

1668
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:58,280
Speaker 1: we kind of talked about it. You know, you'd much

1669
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:03,280
Speaker 1: rather have Amari Cooper go on a torrid pace for

1670
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 1: the next eight or nine ten games, right, So yeah,

1671
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm totally with Kathy. I mean, if you're going to

1672
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 1: pick somebody, pick somebody who's in a spot to make

1673
01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:14,200
Speaker 1: a difference. I don't you know, I don't care if

1674
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:16,839
Speaker 1: Sam Martin has you know, great finish to the season.

1675
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:19,280
Speaker 2: We hope he's not right punting that much.

1676
01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:22,960
Speaker 1: So I'm with you, totally with you. Right, Von could

1677
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 1: do that?

1678
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he can. I mean that's you think back to

1679
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:30,799
Speaker 2: win the Bills added Von to the roster and why

1680
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:33,519
Speaker 2: they added him to the roster back in twenty twenty two,

1681
01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 2: that season that he had eight sacks. It was to

1682
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:39,920
Speaker 2: get that power on the defensive line at the end

1683
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:42,679
Speaker 2: of the season to knock down a quarterback like Patrick Mahomes.

1684
01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:45,040
Speaker 2: That's why they signed him. That's what they were lacking

1685
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 2: on the roster and he provided that that first season.

1686
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 2: Second season, he gets injured. This season is about getting

1687
01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 2: his legs back under him. Being I think he's in

1688
01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:57,760
Speaker 2: his fourteenth season. I want to say, somebody who's been

1689
01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:02,400
Speaker 2: in the NFL since two thousand eleven, so he still

1690
01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:05,599
Speaker 2: has it within him, and having some time off serving

1691
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:10,280
Speaker 2: that suspension, you hope a player like that has some

1692
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:12,960
Speaker 2: fresh legs because of that and is coming off of

1693
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:16,439
Speaker 2: a bye week again, too ready to ready to get

1694
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:18,880
Speaker 2: going for the final six weeks of the regular season

1695
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:19,880
Speaker 2: right now.

1696
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:22,759
Speaker 1: I'm I'm kind of with you. I still think Vaugh's

1697
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:25,600
Speaker 1: got good football left in him, and I'd love to

1698
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:29,880
Speaker 1: see him finish it this season with it another super Bowl?

1699
01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:31,240
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be nice?

1700
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 2: Three super Bowls, three different teams? That sounds pretty nice?

1701
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:36,080
Speaker 2: All right, Let's go to Mark and West Seneca before

1702
01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:38,439
Speaker 2: we break. Mark, how you doing? Oh?

1703
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 9: Good afternoon. Hey, I got a question for Steve and

1704
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 9: a couple of quick observations. My question typical fan questions Steve,

1705
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:52,839
Speaker 9: and as far as Tea Bass's problems this year, tracking

1706
01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:56,360
Speaker 9: back to last do you think there's any real value

1707
01:24:56,920 --> 01:24:59,759
Speaker 9: and not that we bring in Steve Christie and everything

1708
01:24:59,840 --> 01:25:02,720
Speaker 9: is x T. Bass knows what he's doing, he's a professional.

1709
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 9: What would be the value of bringing in somebody who's

1710
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:10,240
Speaker 9: experienced our stadium, I Weather and has had success here?

1711
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:13,360
Speaker 9: Is it something you would consider if you were the coach?

1712
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:16,960
Speaker 9: And again, what would be the real value. I don't

1713
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 9: know that it's actually he's going to teach him how

1714
01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 9: to swing his way differently or something like something.

1715
01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:26,440
Speaker 1: Mark Mark. They've they've done that, they have done Yeah.

1716
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:28,479
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, okay, they don't.

1717
01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:29,760
Speaker 1: They don't leave it. I mean the kicker. You know,

1718
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:31,880
Speaker 1: we always laugh about guys not talking to the kicker,

1719
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:35,280
Speaker 1: or nobody's saying no. They coach the kickers too. They

1720
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 1: bring them in guys to speak to them. They get

1721
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:40,519
Speaker 1: experienced guys, they bring guys, former players and all that

1722
01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:43,040
Speaker 1: stuff in and mostly it's not like they're not going

1723
01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:44,880
Speaker 1: to talk to him about their technique or this or

1724
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,080
Speaker 1: that or the other. They're talking about general stuff like

1725
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:48,800
Speaker 1: you know, the wind is this, and this has always

1726
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:50,760
Speaker 1: been this. Yeah, you can do this, and here's one

1727
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:52,920
Speaker 1: and I had I had some bad experiences like this happened,

1728
01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:55,679
Speaker 1: and that happened. Plus I think most of it would

1729
01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:57,760
Speaker 1: be to have a guy who has done it at

1730
01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:03,760
Speaker 1: a high levels confirm and reassure the kicker that he's

1731
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:04,559
Speaker 1: doing it the right way.

1732
01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:08,280
Speaker 9: That's what That's what I's probably more of a mental

1733
01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 9: thing with working with him.

1734
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:12,960
Speaker 1: And yeah, because everybody, because listen, you don't think Tyler

1735
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:16,560
Speaker 1: Bass has heard every jamoke in the barber shop and

1736
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:18,800
Speaker 1: the grocery store telling him what he's doing wrong and

1737
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 1: how he's got They've got this idea. They've never kicked

1738
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 1: a ball in their life, but they kind of figure

1739
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:24,320
Speaker 1: they know how to fix Tyler. You know, he's got

1740
01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:27,120
Speaker 1: to listen to that every day, so anytime he does

1741
01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:31,040
Speaker 1: that in a missic kick. So yeah, it's better you

1742
01:26:31,120 --> 01:26:33,960
Speaker 1: make a good observation. It's better to have somebody who

1743
01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:36,880
Speaker 1: has done it come in and reassure him and tell

1744
01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 1: him and maybe notice something or whatever, you know, have

1745
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:42,559
Speaker 1: conversations than just you and me doing it. But yes,

1746
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:43,400
Speaker 1: the team does that.

1747
01:26:44,040 --> 01:26:48,920
Speaker 9: As far as your question goes today, I think it's

1748
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:49,880
Speaker 9: an obvious answer.

1749
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:54,200
Speaker 2: The oop. Sorry, Mark just dropped out. We got to

1750

01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:21,320

01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:31,760
Speaker 2: edition of One Bill's Live. But the guys will be

01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 2: So give us a call back tomorrow and you can

1759
01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:41,479
Speaker 2: answer last yesterday's question and tomorrow's questions, so you can

1760
01:27:41,520 --> 01:27:44,880
Speaker 2: answer both, all right. To round out the tweets, sheet

1761
01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:48,360
Speaker 2: Ed says it's time for Curtis Samuel, keyon Coleman and

1762
01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:50,880
Speaker 2: don't kinkaid. The cream rises.

1763
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:52,519
Speaker 1: To the I can't do that. We asked for one guy,

1764
01:27:52,600 --> 01:27:56,200
Speaker 1: he gave who can possibly do it.

1765
01:27:56,280 --> 01:27:58,040
Speaker 2: He wants them all to do it, all right, Chance

1766
01:27:58,240 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 2: says Curtis Samuel. He's held there now and we've seen

1767
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:04,400
Speaker 2: what he can do. Just needs more opportunities downfield and

1768
01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:05,120
Speaker 2: not behind the.

1769
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:07,360
Speaker 1: Line of scriptage. I think I think everybody's kind of

1770
01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:08,640
Speaker 1: ready for him to start pushing.

1771
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:08,840
Speaker 5: The ball down.

1772
01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:11,920
Speaker 1: Yes, a little bit they I don't know though. I

1773
01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:13,679
Speaker 1: don't don't change too much. You're nine and two.

1774
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 2: Just kings are looking good, keep on keeping on. But

1775
01:28:16,240 --> 01:28:17,960
Speaker 2: it would be fun to see him get involved. I

1776
01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:21,040
Speaker 2: think everybody was so excited when we signed Curtis Samuel,

1777
01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:24,679
Speaker 2: just with the tie to Joe Brady, some of his numbers.

1778
01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:27,160
Speaker 2: Playing with a quarterback like Josh Allen, he can do

1779
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:28,680
Speaker 2: a lot. I still believe he can do a lot

1780
01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:31,880
Speaker 2: in this offense. All right, Christopher says Keon Coleman. He

1781
01:28:31,920 --> 01:28:35,679
Speaker 2: has been on the sideline for two long Go Bills.

1782
01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:38,280
Speaker 2: Stu says Ray Davis. They're going to rely on the

1783
01:28:38,360 --> 01:28:41,160
Speaker 2: run and he'll be a good compliment to Cook. Who else?

1784
01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:45,120
Speaker 2: Amari Cooper, Curtis Samuel, and Matt Mulano are the other names. Right,

1785
01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:47,360
Speaker 2: that's enough.

1786
01:28:47,360 --> 01:28:50,000
Speaker 1: Tomorrow before thanks is all the college kids get back

1787
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:51,840
Speaker 1: from Thanks for Thanksgiving? To me, I think they have

1788
01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 1: like a week off.

1789
01:28:54,120 --> 01:28:55,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're probably already back.

1790
01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:56,519
Speaker 1: Going to the hockey game tomorre nights.

1791
01:28:57,120 --> 01:28:59,760
Speaker 2: Go Sabers, Go Sabers. All right, thanks for tuning in

1792
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:03,080
Speaker 2: to today's edition of One Bill's Live. Chris Brown and

1793
01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:08,920
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker will be back tomorrow from one to three
