52
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: It was about eighteen and twenty of us, which is

53
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: an average size for my wife's family. Sometimes you can

54
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: get up to thirty, but it was only about eighteen

55
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: to twenty and we had to bring a ham. So

56
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: we're we're talking about this, like we got a twenty

57
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,280

60
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: a three pound ham. So we drive to the store.

61
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: I'm waiting in the car. She's in there. She comes out.

62
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: She's got a giant bag in her hand. I was like,

00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: what do you have there? She goes, well, they didn't

64
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,600

00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: that one? Five? She goes, no, it's ten. I was

Speaker 1: like ten. We're gonna be eating ham.

67
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: For the next three weeks at least.

00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: Bone in yeah, bone in spiral. Yeah, and look I

69
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,320

70
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: of ham, dude, like a lot of hem.

71
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,920

Speaker 2: You want to show up, yes, over prepared.

73
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,560

76
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: and there's two trays of stuff shells and meatballs. Like

77
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: even the heartiest of appetites are not really putting much

78
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: of a dent in any of that stuff. And what

79
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: are what are all the what are all the kids

80
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,440

00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: they're eating the they're eating the meatballs.

82
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: Then threatening food like nobody wants.

Speaker 1: and seven draft, So yeah, I'll see how well he

187
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: does to get people jacked up for the game. So

188
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: this is a heavyweight game, heavyweight game any Super Bowl champs.

189
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: Bill's at the number one offense in the AFC, so.

190
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 3: I like it.

191
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be good. Bill's practice updates, though,

192
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: are presented by LEECOM your Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine,

193
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: and we begin with the players who have already been

194
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: declared out by head coach Sean McDermott for Sunday. And

195
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: those players are Jordan Phillips Matt Prater, who will both

196
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: miss their second straight game after sustaining ankle and quad injuries.

197
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: And joining them is Jordan Poyter, who is out with

198
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury suffered late in last week's game against Cleveland.

199
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: He actually pulled that hamstring on the half sack that

200
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: he got with Greg Russeau came limping off the field afterwards,

201
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: did not return and has not practiced all week. So

202
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: he is going to be out. And then coach McDermott,

203
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: when asked who is going to step in for Poyer,

204
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: said they're still working through that right now. I will

205
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: tell you the likely candidate. The most likely candidates are

206
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: Cam Lewis, Jordan Hancock, and then we'll have to see

207
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: if anybody else is even in the mix of the

208
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 1: rotation there. Darnell Savage is a veteran safety that they

209
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: added to the roster off waivers three weeks ago. We'll

210
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: see if he's an option. I asked coach at his

211
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: press conference today house his acclamation period going, and he

212
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: said it's going well. He's picking things up. He's a

213
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: veteran player. I mean he's a seven year veteran in

214
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: the league. He's been in multiple systems.

215
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 2: He has said he didn't he yeah, I was surprised.

216
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 2: McDermott gave him a lot of if he gave a

217
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: lot of positive feedback on the job he's done. Say,

218
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: he's done an outstanding job.

219
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: So eat, we'll see if he's a consideration to insert

220
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: in certain situations down in distance. We know that Hancock

221
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: has been on the field more often in obvious passing

222
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: situations because his athleticism allows him to cover more ground

223
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: than Poyer. But Poyer's played some of his best ball

224
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: the last two weeks all season, so it's a shame

225
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: then he's not going to be in the lineup against

226
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: this crew that's going to.

227
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: May be this week. Yeah, there's a lot of there's

228
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: a lot of uncertainty about what's happening. Certainly, the Bills

229
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: play it for or for twenty five? Is it the

230
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 2: kick something like, and so they'll have an idea too.

231
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 2: So like if the Patriots somehow, some ways stumble and

232
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 2: lose to the Jets this weekend, man mate, you got

233
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: to put it, put it full throttle, you know. But

234
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: if if they're winning, they're beating the Jets, it's like, ah,

235
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: you know, maybe hold Poyer out, keep him fresh, get right,

236
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 2: so you can and that whole bandwidth of guys who

237
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 2: are good enough but not great, or who will go

238
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: and play well but not feel great, or who would

239
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: be benefit from a week off. Maybe you think about,

240
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: you know what, let's just downshift here and start lining

241
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 2: it up for the for the postseason. Certainly the players

242
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: want to play. But man, oh man, you Poy is

243
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: a perfect example. Set that guy down. Make him fresh

244
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: for two weeks from now. You know.

245
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: Well, the hamstring injury might take that long. We'll have

246
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: to wait, wait see. Good news is Josh Allen's foot

247
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: injury has been improving and coach McDermott said Buffalo's quarterback

248
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: shouldn't have any limitations in Sunday's game. Not seen at

249
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: practice today defensive tackle day Kwon Jones, who has been

250
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: limited with a calf injury. Dalton king Kid and Dawson

251
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: Knox both back at practice today, so we'll see what

252
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: the status is on them and the rest of the

253
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,880

254

00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: Well, I don't yeah. I mean if for anybody who's

285

Speaker 2: it's not stitches in your finger, man, that's that can

289
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: be rough. H A lot of people have really struggles

290
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 2: with it.

291
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't know how severe his were.

292
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: Like I'm guessing I'm guying to have oral surgery and

293
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: get knocked out, you know, to cut him out and

294
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: get him out.

295
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: It had to be something serious or he wouldn't have

296
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: had it done at this point. He wait.

297
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean he pops up on the injury report Wednesday

298
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: and the listing is teeth, and I was like, this

299
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: is not the first time I've seen teeth, but at

300
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: this time of the year, Like, now you're gonna do

301
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: that Christmas week?

302
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: Hey, what are you gonna do? He got something happens.

303
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: Lucky he's got a dentist that was available.

304
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, well they probably did it Wednesday.

305
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tuesday or Wednesday, right, Yeah, so so he was

306
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: back at practice today and that's presumably he'll be fine

307
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: for the game.

308
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: I think that.

309
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: Kobe Dean is the really, really the only question mark

310
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: for them because he yanked that hamstring in last week

311
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: game and most ham string injuries usually take a week.

312
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: So it's very likely that the Bills will see Jehad Campbell,

313
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: the backup who is their first round pick in this

314
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 1: year's draft and has played well in Dean's absence, So

315
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: that's who we should expect. There three games on Christmas yesterday,

316
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: and they began with the Cowboys beating the Commanders thirty

317
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: to twenty three in a game that held no playoff implications.

318
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: Vikings took advantage of five turnovers by Jared Goff to

319
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: eliminate the Lions from playoff contention in a twenty three

320
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: to ten victory. As we know, the Lions lost both

321
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: their coordinators this past offseason, and they go from a

322
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: fourteen win team to about a five hundred team when

323
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: all might be said and done here and people talk

324
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: all the time, you know, the Eagles missed the playoffs

325
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: after having coordinator changes and got in to the playoffs

326
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: another year and then lost promptly in the first round

327
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: before you know, finally readjusting and winning the whole thing

328
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: last year. The Bills have had coordinator changes and kept

329
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: on making the.

330
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 2: Playoffs, kept on trucking.

331
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, so not every team can sustain those kinds of

332
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: losses and be every bit of success.

333
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 2: Yeah. And don't forget the Bills changed coordinators mid season

334
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 2: at six and seven twelve twenty three, yeah weeks.

335
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,239
Speaker 1: And they also had lost a coordinator prior to that

336
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: in Brian Dable. They moved on from Leslie Fraser changed

337
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: that one. So you know, they've they've had new coordinators

338
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: roll through the last few years, and they keep on

339
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: making the postseason and are now the only team in

340
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: the NFL that has made the postseason in each of

341
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: the last seven years. So it just it just speaks

342
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: to the consistency the Lions.

343
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 2: Yes, Jared Goff was interesting story. Obviously, he went to

344
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl with the La Ram then they traded

345
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 2: him to the Detroit Lions and he was a and

346
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 2: he traded for Matt Stafford. Stafford goes on wins the

347
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 2: Super Bowl and now is still in the running for

348
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: the MVP this year. GoF is in Detroit. They have

349
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 2: loved their relationship with Jared Goff, no question about it,

350
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 2: But at some point the reason the Rams moved on

351
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 2: from him showed up. Yeah, Jared Goff is a is

352
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 2: a good starting quarterback in the NFL, but he's not great.

353
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: He is not an all timer. Matt Stafford is, Josh

354
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: is Lamar, Joe Burrow, Mahomes. Of course, there's a couple.

355
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 2: There's a handful of them in the league right now

356
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 2: who are all timers. GoF is not one of them.

357
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 2: And last night, in a game you had to have, well,

358
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 2: a game you had to have just to stay alive.

359
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 2: They turned it over six.

360
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: Times five for GoF. I know.

361
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 2: I mean at some point, ultimately you got to have

362
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 2: a guy back there who can win it for you.

363
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 2: And you know that. I'm not saying that game was

364
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: the absolute barometer of his entire career, but it certainly is.

365
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 2: It fits in.

366
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, the quarterback for the Vikings, Mac Brosmer, threw for

367
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: less than seventy yards and one.

368
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 2: And got sacked seven times. Their opponent they sacked Gosmer

369
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 2: seven times. He threw for less than seventy yards. He's

370
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 2: the only player in history to win a game like that.

371
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that was ugly. And then the Denver Broncos

372
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: took a step closer to nailing down the number one

373
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: seed in the AFC, though they were anything but convincing

374
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: in a twenty three to ten win at Kansas City.

375
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: That game was seven to six at halftime, they were losing. So,

376
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they've they've been able to pull games out,

377
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: Nick says, done a good job of winning games in

378
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter because their defense holds him in. Their

379
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 1: defense is good enough to keep the other team off

380
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: the scoreboard time and time again, and the offense finally

381
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: does enough to win the football.

382
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: Game, and we'll and you know it's an old adage.

383
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 2: Defense travels well. So going into Arrowhead and you know

384
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, you know, they've just got to be gutted

385
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 2: from losing Mahomes and then Minshew as well. It's just

386
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: got to be in you know, how do they dredge

387
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,959
Speaker 2: up the passion to play for that when they're out

388
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 2: of the playoffs after everything that that franchise has been

389
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 2: through over the last six years, and then going out

390
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 2: there and trying to put out a good performer. They

391
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 2: just couldn't do it. They just couldn't do it.

392
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Chiefs, we already knew we're out of the

393
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: playoffs last week, and I mean, I mean they had

394
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: a lot of young guys that were playing hard for him,

395
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 1: So make of it what you will. So that was

396
00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: the Christmas Day slate in the NFL. Looking towards this weekend,

397
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: there are games on Saturday and Sunday, and it looks

398
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: like the Baltimore Ravens are going to be without quarterback

399
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson for saturday Nights must win game at the

400
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. Jackson listed as doubtful after not practicing

401
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: all week with a back contusion, which knocked him out

402
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: of Sunday's loss to the Patriots. The Ravens seven to eight,

403
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: who have made the postseason the past three years, could

404
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: be eliminated from playoff contention with a loss in Green

405
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: Bay tomorrow night. So I mean, we already discussed this, Steve.

406
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going to pretend to know the severity of

407
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's injury, but he's standing on the sideline watching

408
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: the rest of this game last week and now here

409
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: you are almost a week later, and he still can't

410
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: find a way to play. Like, I don't I don't

411
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: know your season's on the line. This is your leader, man.

412
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's it's hard. I mean, nobody has the

413
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 2: right and you and I at least of all have

414
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 2: the right a thousand miles away saying you know, the

415
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 2: guys should be playing when you know, we don't know

416
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 2: what the guy's situation is. But this has got to

417
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 2: be tough for fans. Man, that's got that's got to

418
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: be really a bitter pill for the Ravens to swallow.

419
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: And then and they started to come apart there in Baltimore.

420
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: As always when they when the team's going through it,

421
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: there's always some people in the media who pile on.

422
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 2: And one of the writers and the oh Yeah covers

423
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 2: Baltimore has called out.

424
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: Lamar and said he needs to grow up.

425
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 2: He grow up. He's a he's a little kid in

426
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 2: a in a grown man's body. He's accused him of

427
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 2: staying up late at night playing video games and then

428
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: sleeping late, not being able to do it in fact,

429
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 2: and forcing the team to adjust their practice schedule later

430
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 2: in the day. Because Lamar stays up too late at

431
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 2: night playing video games, he can't be effective during.

432
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: He So there's a lot sinuated that there are are

433
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson rules that are different from the rules for

434
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: all the other players? Right that the that the Ravens

435
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: cater to him. I was like, whoa, it was a

436
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: scathing right, not only on Lamar, but how the Ravens

437
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: bend the rules for Lamar. And it's that wash. It

438
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: was something.

439
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it is bad. It's a bad week, uh

440
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 2: in Baltimore for the Ravens. And and you know they

441
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 2: they got to win against a really good Green Bay team. Now.

442
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: Snoop Huntley, who is the backup quarterback, beat the Packers

443
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: last year when he had to play. I don't know

444
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: if he's gonna do it up in green Green Bay

445
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: is desperate for a win. They got to stay trying

446
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: to stay in the NFC playoff race. So they're every

447
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: bit as desperate as the Ravens are.

448
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're the seven. Green Bay's the seven seed right

449
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 2: now in the NFC. Yeah, if you're keeping tracking, they're

450
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 2: nine to five and one, right, so.

451
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: They win one more game, they should be good.

452
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 2: Yes, because the next team in the hunt only has

453
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 2: seven wins.

454
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I think they might clinch

455
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: with a win. I should check the playoffs.

456
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: In Minnesota's eight and eight. If Green Bay wins, they're

457
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 2: in wait. Green Bay already it says they already.

458
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: Have clinched a playoff Oh they did, okay, Oh, I

459
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: think by virtue of Detroit's loss last yesterday, that's right.

460
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 2: They just did this morn well last night. This morning,

461
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 2: it shows up only one team in the NFC has

462
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 2: not clinched a playoff spot, and that's Carolina in the

463
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 2: four spot. They're leading the NFC South, and you know

464
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay has a chance to knock them.

465
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 4: Off, right.

466
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

467
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 1: If Detroit had won last night, Green Bay would absolutely

468
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: need to win tomorrow night not to clinch a playoff

469
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: worth but they've already done that with Detroit's loss. Jacksonville

470
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: Jaguars cornerback Jordan Lewis is going to miss the rest

471
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: of the season because of a foot injury that's going

472
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: to require surgery. Lewis is one of their starting outside corners,

473
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: injured in the win last week against the Boncos. So

474
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: fourth year player monterk Brown is likely going to start

475
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: opposite fellow starter Greg Newsom at outside corner the rest

476
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,719
Speaker 1: of the way for Lewis and Steelers pass rusher TJ. Watt,

477
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: two weeks removed from sustaining a partially punctured lung during

478
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: a dry needling treatment and having subsequent reparative surgery. Easy

479
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: for me to say, is back practicing with his teammates.

480
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: Watt was a limited participant in the past two days

481
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: and went through individual drills with the defense in his

482
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 1: first practice since missing the past two games. We had

483
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: this conversation, that's a big whoopsie.

484
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. It's like, well, yeah, we've seen it

485
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: happen to Rod Taylor getting an injection to so when

486
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 2: he was with the Chargers, he got punctured. He had

487
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 2: a punctured lung, and presto chango, he's out. It's once

488
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 2: in a while something happens like this, like TJ. Watt

489
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 2: getting a dry needle treatment. Most people are like, what

490
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 2: is that? Right? The stuff these guys go through and

491
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 2: are willing to do to get on the field is

492
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 2: a highly underrated element of playing pro football. Cold plunges,

493
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 2: cryo chambers, all of it.

494
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: Red light there, red.

495
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 2: Light acupuncture, all of it. They will do absolutely anything

496
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 2: to play. It's part of what makes some pro football

497
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 2: players because they are pretty good college players who don't

498
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 2: do that and can't make it because of it. Yeah,

499
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 2: it's miss two games because he was trying to do

500
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 2: something to get him on the field so we could

501
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 2: play better. Yea, that's tough. Yeah, that's rough.

502
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: So that's around the NFL presented by Colida Health. We

503
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: have to step aside and take a break here. When

504
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: we come back, we will bring you Collision Course, although

505
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: it's probably pretty straightforward for Bill's Eagles in terms of

506
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: a matchup in that game, but we'll tell you what

507
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: that is and we will take make your phone calls

508
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: as it's the OBL Friday fan mail Bag. Any question

509
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: you have about the Bills, the playoff race, the conference standings,

510
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: anything on your mind about the Bills or football related

511
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: you let it fly at eight oh three, five fifty one,

512
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: eighty eight, five fifty two, five fifty those are the

513
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 1: numbers to jump on board. Got open lines for you

514
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: there and we'll answer your questions next here on one

515
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: Pills Live presented by Colida Health.

516
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 5: It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

517
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: Collision Course is presented by Gabes. Collision Your Car's Best

518
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: Defense and it's a pretty straightforward one. It's running back

519
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: James Cook against this Eagles defensive front. Eagles have not

520
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: been as dominant against the run as they were a

521
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: year ago. They ranked twenty first in the league against

522
00:28:55,600 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: the run this season, but they are getting a key play,

523
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: arguably their best defensive player on the roster, Jalen Carter,

524
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: coming back from a double shoulder scope to return to

525
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: the lineup this week. He's been practicing fully, so it

526
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: looks like he is in fact going to be back

527
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: after stepping out of the lineup to get those shoulders repaired.

528
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: So we'll see how effective he is. We'll also keep

529
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: an eye on his snap count because having not played

530
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: for the better part of the last month, you know,

531
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: he might not be in tip top game shape, might

532
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: get a little winded, especially if the Bills can stay

533
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: on the field and put some long drives together. That

534
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: would be a welcome sight.

535
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's face it the Eagles, and it's not much

536
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: has changed since a year ago when they were world champions.

537
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 2: A little bit has been not much. They still have

538
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 2: an outstanding roster top to bottom. They're neck deep in

539
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 2: physical talent. Is there a tough matchup for a team

540
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 2: like Buffalo who kind of does it with playmakers? With

541
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: playmaking like Josh and James Cook and a defense that

542
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 2: thrives on turnover. This is going to be an interesting game.

543
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm not so sure that it's you know,

544
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 2: the finger quotes the Super Bowl preview that some people

545
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 2: are calling it. Although that is a possibility. I think

546
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 2: it's a measuring stick for the Bills more so than

547
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 2: it is for the Eagles, and they're getting healthier.

548
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Cook, as we know, leads the league with fifteen

549
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty two rushing yards. He's also fourth with

550
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: eighteen hundred and twenty total yards from scrimmage. I don't

551
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: know if he's going to get one to eighty on

552
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: Sunday in terms of yards from scrimmage, but he's one

553
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty yards away from a two thousand yard

554
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: all purpose season. That's remarkable.

555
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 2: You would expect him to get it by the season's end.

556
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, with two games to go. Yes, yes,

557
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: I could see him doing that. He also has twelve

558
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: games with one hundred or more scrimmage yards that leads

559
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: the NFL. He now has nine games with one hundred

560
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: or more rushing yards that leads the NFL. I hope

561
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: he gets more consideration for Offensive Player of the Year.

562
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: Here they keep mentioning, you know, Christian McCaffrey, and they

563
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: keep mentioning Jonathan Taylor. I mean, this guy is getting

564
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: better at the end of the season, right cook.

565
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's a it's a hard it's a hard

566
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 2: award to win. But he's in the conversation and he's

567
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 2: in the top two or three names, no question about it.

568
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 2: And there's always a a level of prestige that you

569
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 2: get from being the leading rusher in the National Football League,

570
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 2: and he deserves it. His consistency throughout the season, I

571
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 2: think is what's set him apart. You've had Jonathan Taylor

572
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 2: doing it. Jonathan Taylor has like three different games I

573
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 2: believe with way Over with over two hundred yards rushing.

574
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 2: But James is doing it like for eleven straight weeks.

575
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 2: He's got a hundo and is not going away. I

576
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 2: mean it's been it's.

577
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: Been three games clear of the next guy with most

578
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: one hundred yard rushing games this season.

579
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,719
Speaker 2: So that's been a three game lead. That's been a

580
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: difference for the Bills offense. And I think that makes

581
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 2: him sets him apart than the other running backs in

582
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: the in the league. You know, certainly McCaffrey is a

583
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 2: versatile athlete. We've all we've seen that before.

584
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: His production is more balanced between rushing and receiving.

585
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 2: Yards, right, So it's it's gonna be interesting to see

586
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 2: what kind of Yeah, what kind of attention and merit

587
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 2: cook gets.

588
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: Cooks got five touchdowns the last two weeks. Yeah, I

589
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: mean he's he's getting better.

590
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

591
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: So that's Collision Corps presented by Gabes Collision Your Cars,

592
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: Best Defense. Let's get to the phone lines at eight

593
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: oh three oh five fifty one eighty eight five fifty

594
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: two fifty on this OBL Friday fan mail bag, and

595
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: we lead off with Miron and Richmond.

596
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 2: What's up?

597
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: Miron?

598
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 6: John thinks to taking my call? Hook You both had a.

599
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, Thanks you too.

600
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 6: My question is in regards to what level influenced players

601
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 6: have in game planning, just on the offensive defensive end.

602
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 6: You know, the obvious example is is Josh I mean,

603
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 6: what kind of input does he have on game planning?

604
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 6: Is there? And if he does, he get the game

605
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 6: plan ahead of time of course presents to the team,

606
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 6: and how much kind of way does he have over

607
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 6: the development of that And the same thing goes for

608
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 6: anyone on the defensive side. Dude, do the defensive folks

609
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 6: talk to Bernard and say, hey, this is what we

610
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 6: think or you know, is there a back and forth

611
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 6: like that or is it just kind of giving on

612
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 6: a Wednesday? And then the players just take it and maybe

613
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 6: there's some mind creaks, but you know, the big whole

614
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 6: sale changes. Thanks saying my call here, mind thank you again.

615
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 2: My experience tells me this. Miron, the starting quarterback, does

616
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,239
Speaker 2: have some sway over the game plan, mostly in what

617
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 2: he doesn't like in it and what he does like

618
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 2: in it. The coaching staff will go to him and

619
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 2: they'll say this is what we're thinking and here's why,

620
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 2: and the quarterback will kind of have some ideas about it. Anyway,

621
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 2: he'll kind of be able to see it coming down

622
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 2: the pipe. But the quarterback will say, yeah, yeah, I

623
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 2: don't like this, I don't like this, I don't like this,

624
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 2: but I like this, this, this, and this. They have

625
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 2: likes and dislikes, and then if there's further conversation to

626
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 2: be had, they'll have it where the coaching staff will

627
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 2: try and convince him to put this in. And depending

628
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 2: on the relationship and the personalities involved. The quarterback will say,

629
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 2: all right, I'll give it a try. Let's try it,

630
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 2: and I want to see that in practice and then

631
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 2: see how it looks, and then I'll we'll decide after that.

632
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 2: And they can, you know, they can talk the quarterback

633
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 2: into putting it in the game plan and vice versa.

634
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 2: Josh will say, now, I really like this because then

635
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 2: it allows me to do this and this, or the

636
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 2: quarterback will say, yeah, I like this play, but on

637
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 2: the back side, I want this other route because if

638
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 2: the more likely thing happens, I want this route as

639
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 2: a backup. All that kind of stuff goes into it.

640
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: And I know this too. Everybody's heard about a quarterbacks

641
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 2: coach on the team. A course you're laughing because you

642
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 2: know what I'm gonna say. Quarterback coach is a liaison

643
00:34:54,760 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 2: between the quarterback and the offensive coordinator. Quarterback, instead of

644
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 2: telling the offensive coordinator to take his game plan and

645
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 2: shove it, he'll tell the quarterback coach that and the

646
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 2: quarterback coach will say, now, I didn't like this much.

647
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,479
Speaker 2: You need to he's not about this. I think there's

648
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 2: also that's it.

649
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's also an element two of the

650
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: game plan install starts on Wednesday, continues on Thursday, and

651
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: there might be some plays that they're repping in practice

652
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: and they just don't look right right for the defensive

653
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: looks they're anticipating through scout team, you know, card reps

654
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: and such, doesn't trans and they might say, well, we

655
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: thought this was going to be a good play for us,

656
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: we're just not executing it right. We're tossing that out.

657
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: We're not using it that's right, And they may come

658
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: up with something else that they insert in its place.

659
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: So repping it in practice does matter because it will

660
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: sometimes be the determining factor as to whether that play

661
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: stays in the game plan or is tossed by the

662
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 1: time you get to Sunday.

663
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 2: On defense, it's it's a little more rare to have

664
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 2: that kind of sway, but it does happen, particularly if

665
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 2: you've got a like a Ray Lewis on your squad

666
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 2: or an Ed Reid on your squad, and those guys

667
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 2: will come in and say, hey, against this look, let's

668
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 2: do this, let's do that. I like this because of that,

669
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 2: you know, and that happens a little less often because

670
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 2: it defensive players, it's hard to earn the kind of

671
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 2: cachet you need to do that. A quarterback has kind

672
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 2: of bestowed that because he's the guy calling the players

673
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 2: and he's trying to make it work. Defensive players on

674
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 2: the end kind of have to earn it, but there's

675
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 2: some who do. There's some who do, and coaches are

676
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 2: very willing to listen to those guys because they know.

677
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 2: But as on the offensive side, the quarterback does have

678
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 2: a lot of say in what it looks like and

679
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 2: how it's gonna run. And a lot of times, particularly

680
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 2: in situational football like goal and goal to go situations

681
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 2: or short yardage situations, the quarterback will say, listen, let's

682
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 2: start like, I like this play out of thirteen personnel

683
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 2: because then I've got Dawson that Jackson Hawes running this

684
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 2: out instead of Alec Anderson running the route, you know,

685
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 2: or I've got I've got Reggie Gillion running this route

686
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 2: instead of Jackson Hawes running this route. Uh, he'll like

687
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 2: it better out of different personnel for that reason, And

688
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 2: so some of those conversations take place. But on the

689
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 2: offensive side it is much more quarterback sensitive than anybody

690
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,720
Speaker 2: else on the On the defensive side, let's.

691
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: Go to Kevin in Hamburg.

692
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,959
Speaker 7: What's up, Kevin, Hey, thanks for taking my call. Sure,

693
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 7: I want to bring up I want to bring up

694
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 7: about you know, if people keep seeing this about this

695
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 7: could be a possible super Bowl matchup this weekends. In

696
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 7: the Bills. Yep, personally, I watched that game last Saturday night,

697
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 7: in the Packer game, the throws and kle of me.

698
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 7: My honest opinion, ifbody picked the Bills, I might see

699
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 7: just of adventure. I love to see the Banners and

700
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 7: the Bills. I think that would be a wild game.

701
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 7: The Caleb throws, the Josh Allen type throws. I think

702
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 7: that personally would be even better than the Eagles. I

703
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 7: think was one one already to beat the Chief. But

704
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 7: that honestly, if he goes anything like Josh does and

705
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 7: Josh roses and anything like he does, I think that

706
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,720
Speaker 7: would be a wicked wild ball flying all over the place.

707
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 7: That would be.

708
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I bet yeah. If that's the case too,

709
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 2: the Rams would be a good matchup too.

710
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,240
Speaker 1: Because they want entertainment value.

711
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 2: I get it. Yeah, yeah, you're right. It might be

712
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 2: a better game that way, but we're going to get

713
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 2: a chance to watch it this Sunday. Anyway, If it

714
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:41,919
Speaker 2: does happen.

715
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: I mean, the Eagles are not a sexy offense. I

716
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: guess they kind of, you know, plot along, run the ball, well.

717
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 2: Kind of match the personality of quarterback. They're very low key,

718
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 2: very they they're very well executed, very thoughtful. They they

719
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 2: don't do silly stuff. Man. They they come at you,

720
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 2: you know, and they are what they seem to be, right,

721
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 2: So that's they kind of take the personality of their quarterbacks.

722
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: Gotta take a break here, more of your phone calls.

723
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: When we get back, we'll lead with Mike in Pennsylvania,

724
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: followed by Alan Buffalo and others holding an eight h

725
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty. Here on an obl Friday fan

726
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:32,919
Speaker 1: mailbag edition of One Bill's Live Stay tune. Time now

727
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: for a Snapdragon Apple lunch break. Today we have a

728
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: Snapdragon Apple pizza. Yes, yes, that's what we've got here.

729
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: The monster crunch of a Snapdragon Apple provides a refreshing

730
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: contrast to the soft cheese and warm crust. This is

731
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: a standout snack for all ages and a guaranteed way

732
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 1: to become the MVP host on a Bill's Game Day.

733
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 1: Snapdragon Apples deliver as swee eat juicy note you wouldn't

734
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: expect on pizza, creating the perfect balance the sweet, savory,

735
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: and tangy flavors with every bite. Snapdragon apples shine alongside mozzarella,

736
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: sharp cheddar sausage, caramelized onions, and a drizzle of hot honey.

737
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 1: Make your own version of Snapdragon Apple pizza. There's endless possibilities.

738
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: Even dessert pizza can be prepared before guests arrive and

739
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: then shared. Could also be incorporated into a Bild your

740
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: own for a Bill's watch party. All hosts would have

741
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: to do is fire up the oven. Recipes can be

742
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: found on Snapdragon social media channels. I busted off a

743
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: corner there. I will say it's like it makes for

744
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: a sweet pizza if you will, because the apple, you know,

745
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: as you know Snapdragon apples are so sugary sweet that

746
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: you know, pizza is usually a salt to your taste

747
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 1: unless you have really sweet tomato sauce on there. That

748
00:40:58,440 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: apple slice kind of sweetens it.

749
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 2: Up very nice. I gotta say they've impressed me week

750
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 2: after week with their recipes and the way they put

751
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 2: it together. It's nice.

752
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: Yeah. So you can go to at Snapdragon Apple on

753
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: social media. All one word if you want to check

754
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: out the recipe for this little ditty here snap Dragon

755
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: Apple Pizza. You can do anything with these things. I

756
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, the versatility is impressive. Got to get

757
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: back to the phones though. Here on this obl Friday

758
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: fan Mailbag edition at one Bill's Live, and as promised,

759
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 1: we lead off with Mike in Pennsylvania.

760
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 8: What's up, Mike, Hey, Steven, Chris, thank you for having

761
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 8: me on. First of all, I wanted to make a comment.

762
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 8: I'm in the middle of My neighbor is an Eagles fan.

763
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 8: She just came over and was talking trash. My son's

764
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 8: an Eagles fan, and my pastor is an Eagles fan.

765
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 8: So we have to win on We have to have

766
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 8: a victory Monday. Hopefully we do. But my question is,

767
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 8: would there be a possible chance of if he's ready,

768
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 8: Matthew Genon to be elevated from practice squad this week.

769
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good question, Mike. He's been here for

770
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: all of a week, but he is a veteran player,

771
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: and I think we could all agree that the defensive

772
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 1: end position in this defense isn't as voluminous in terms

773
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: of assignments as say, safety or nickel corner. And I

774
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: think one thing Judon can do, even at his advanced

775
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: age is set the edge very well on the run front.

776
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: I think anything he gives you in the pass rush

777
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: at this stage of his career is a bonus. So

778
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: I think it's a good veteran to have available if

779
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,760
Speaker 1: you need him. The question is does the defensive staff

780
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: believe they need him this week?

781
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 2: Left to wait and see, and it might be it

782
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 2: might depend on who else is available.

783
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: That's true.

784
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 2: Jordan Phillips still still out Daykon Jones Calf all that

785
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 2: stuff is a consideration. So you're gonna have Dion Walker, TJ. Sanders,

786
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 2: you know you might need it.

787
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,439
Speaker 1: I will say that Judan is sturdy and thick enough

788
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: where you could kick him down inside in obvious passing situations.

789
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: He doesn't strictly just have to play on the edge

790
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: per se, so that that is some position flex that

791
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: he would offer you if you put him in the line.

792
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 2: Even this year, you've seen him and as we were

793
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 2: just watching highlights on the on the television side of things,

794
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 2: he's everywhere on the field. I mean, the guy covers

795
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 2: a lot of ground. So even at this age he

796
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 2: gets out and runs, so you know, there's always a

797
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 2: spot for a guy who can play hard. The question is,

798
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 2: can you can you depend on him on such a

799
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 2: short turnaround? Can you depend on nowhere to line up

800
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 2: what exactly his gap is in the run game? That

801
00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 2: kind of thing. But he's been on a roster this year, so.

802
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was playing for the Dolphins this past year

803
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 1: or this season, I should say last year. He had

804
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: five and a half sacks with the Falcons, and obviously

805
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: we remember him from his days with the Patriots when

806
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: you know he was in his prime. But yeah, I

807
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: mean it's a good option to have. Again, the question

808
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: is whether or not they deem it necessary to bring

809
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: him up as a practice squad elevation this Sunday. So

810
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: for that we'll have to wait and see to Debbie

811
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: and Hamburg next.

812
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 6: What's up, Debbie, Good afternoon, gentlemen, Thanks for taking my call.

813
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 6: Happy holidays. I just give two questions.

814
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 8: The first one is what.

815
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 6: Receivers do you think will start for the Bills during

816
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 6: the playoffs And to what AFC team poses the biggest

817
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 6: threat to the Bills in the playoffs.

818
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 1: Thank you, Okay, thanks Debbie for those two questions. I

819
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: would say, for the playoffs. It's hard to ascertain right now.

820
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 1: We're still two weeks away, and the only reason it's

821
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: hard to figure is because they've shuffled the deck at

822
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: the receiver position each of the last three weeks, and

823
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: it has largely not been due to injury. I think

824
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 1: they're still trying to find the right combination of guys

825
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: to get some consistent production. I will reference our conversation

826
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: with ESPN's Dan Orlovski earlier this week. I asked him,

827
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: who are your top four if you had to put

828
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: four on the field right now, and he said, just

829
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: in the receiver room, Khalil Shakir, Gabe Davis, Tyrell Shavers,

830
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 1: and Jordan Joshua Palmer those were his four. And he

831
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 1: said he picked Gabe Davis over Keon and others because

832
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: of the trust factor. Now, I think personally they would

833
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: dress five receivers, not just.

834
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 2: Four, the fifth one being like Nicole Hardman for return.

835
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: Returns, or maybe it's Brandon Cooks, who knows. But they've

836
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 1: shuffled the deck every week because I think they're still

837
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: searching for who they deemed to be the most effective

838
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: five for their offense, and knowing how much they run

839
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,240
Speaker 1: the ball a league high fifty percent of the time.

840
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: They need guys that can block too at that position

841
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: and block well, so.

842
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 2: It might be too that. I mean, the real the

843
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 2: real swing guy is Keon because he's been both he's

844
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 2: been healthy scratches, and he's been Early in the season

845
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 2: he was he was catching you know, nine balls, right,

846
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 2: So that's that's been a guy that has precipitated this

847
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 2: roller coaster that we're on with the wide receivers. He's

848
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 2: resactive and then last week Gave Davis and Keon were inactive.

849
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:44,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's a good question. I'm sitting here thinking

850
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 2: about the matchups and Philly has got two really good corners.

851
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 2: What good are they to the Philly defense if you

852
00:46:55,920 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 2: never throw to those guys? Right, the Bill passing game

853
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 2: has funneled through the tight ends and running backs. So

854
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 2: I don't know what you think about what the Bills

855
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 2: offense and the coaching staff think about what kind of

856
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 2: matchups they're gonna have out there. Even at their best,

857
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 2: Philly's gonna be hard to throw it to the outside

858
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 2: on because those guys match up really well. Yeah, it's

859
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 2: a good question. It's a really good question, and I

860
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 2: don't know that it's not going to be a tell

861
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 2: tale about what the Bill's game plan is going to

862
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 2: be when you see that activity roster.

863
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then ask for your second question. The teams

864
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: that will offer the Bills the biggest challenge in the postseason,

865
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 1: I would say probably the teams that look most formidable

866
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: and most complete on the AFC side of the Ledger

867
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 1: are probably the top three division leaders, that being New England, Denver,

868
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville. Jacksonville's playing really, really good football right now,

869
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: and they have a lot of high draft talent that

870
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: they've accumulated over the years, and Liam Coe on their

871
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: head coach, has put it into practice. They've been dominant

872
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 1: at times. I mean, they handled Denver in Denver last

873
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: week and made it look easy thirty four to twenty.

874
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: If that continues, I think you do have to take

875
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: Jacksonville seriously, and then I think New England will be

876
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 1: tough just because of the familiarity involved, not to mention

877
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: the fact that after Josh Allen, Drake maybe might be

878
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: the next best quarterback in the AFC right and he

879
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: has the capability of bringing his team back and winning games,

880
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:35,359
Speaker 1: as he did last week against Baltimore. So and you're

881
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: gonna have to go to their place for all of

882
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: those teams. So I think those are those are the

883
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 1: tough ones for Buffalo. I'll say, have anyone else you

884
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: want to throw in there.

885
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:50,320
Speaker 2: Now, I mean, think about this from everybody else the

886
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:54,399
Speaker 2: other six teams, Buffalo may be the team you want

887
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 2: no part of in this matchup. Try to avoid them.

888
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 2: They got a guy that can put the cape on

889
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 2: and take over the game and win it no matter

890
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 2: what you do. We've seen it. Count I mean, you

891
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 2: can't go back and count them off the top of

892
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 2: your head. How many games where a defense that the

893
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 2: Bills are playing on the road or in Buffalo, they

894
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 2: have the absolute perfect call on for whatever offensive play

895
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 2: is called and Josh turns it into a touchdown. Not

896
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 2: only did you have the perfect play call and get

897
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 2: a free hitter on the quarterback and everything's going your

898
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 2: way and it turns into a six points against you,

899
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 2: The Bills have that guy. Nobody wants a part of Buffalo.

900
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 2: I don't think in this in this tournament, you're rather

901
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 2: you're telling me you'd rather have who the you know, pit,

902
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 2: You'd rather have Pits. You'd rather have somebody other than

903
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 2: Josh Yeah, you'd have all other six teams rather than

904
00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 2: Josh Yeah. You think you think Houston a harder matchup

905
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 2: than Josh Allen. I mean, come on, well, I mean

906
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 2: that's so. I'm I'm I'm all caught up in this.

907
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 2: I'm conflicted in this, this seeding thing, like whether you

908
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 2: want to get really healthy and get ready for the

909
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 2: playoffs or try and get the division or whatever whatever

910
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:20,479
Speaker 2: and conceivably and I think I'm right about well, maybe

911
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 2: not now that Denver won last night. I don't think

912
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 2: Buffalo can win get the one seed away from Denver.

913
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 2: I don't think. I'm well, we'll have to look at

914
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 2: the conference, right, we got to look at that. But

915
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 2: the problem, you know, so, I'm I'm conflicted on how

916
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 2: hard the Bills pushed to the finish. And I don't care.

917
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 2: If the Bills are seventh seed, they gotta win three

918
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 2: playoff games. If they're the five seed, they still got

919
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 2: to win three playoff games. And there's only a chance

920
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 2: that you get a home playoff game if Houston or

921
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 2: LA Chargers jump up and beat somebody on there. I mean,

922
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:55,879
Speaker 2: what are you talking about.

923
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: Denver's eight and three in the conference and so are

924
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: the Bills.

925
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 2: And the Bills have a a conference game left. Yeah,

926
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 2: and then so does Denver. So does Denver. So yeah,

927
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 2: they could, they could steal it, but that means New

928
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 2: England's got to lose, right, soah, A little more complicated. Yes,

929
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 2: it's control what you can control, try and win. But

930
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,839
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, if you're going into the playoffs,

931
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 2: I know, how much of an advantage would it be

932
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 2: if the Bills had a bye week in week seventeen

933
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 2: or eighteen? Yeah, I mean nobody had to play get

934
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 2: that's a division game next week and they might need

935
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 2: it right just to improve, or a conference game and

936
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 2: they might need it to go from six to five

937
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 2: next week. Yeah, that's my point right there. I don't know.

938
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 2: I don't know if I care, I really don't.

939
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: I'd rather play Pittsburgh.

940
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,879
Speaker 2: Would you rather play Pittsburgh, play Pittsburgh than jackson Would

941
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 2: you rather play Pittsburgh feeling like you got the flu?

942
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:49,320
Speaker 2: Or would you rather play Jacksonville feeling like a million bucks? Yeah?

943
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: There's an argument to be had there.

944
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:51,760
Speaker 2: That's the that's the question.

945
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,479
Speaker 1: We're up against the break, so we got to step

946
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 1: aside here when we come back We'll be doing it

947
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: with our good friend Greg Cosel, senior producer from NFL Films.

948
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: We'll talk exes and oh is about Bill Is Eagles.

949
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 1: Next here on One Bill's Live.

950
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 3: Stay with us.

951
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by call lighta Health second

952
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: hour of the show. Here on a Friday, Chris Brown,

953
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with You're on One Bills Live and time

954
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 1: for NFL film senior producer Greg Cosell to join us

955
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: in his weekly appearance on One Bill's Live. I was

956
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: presented by Pepsi. Pepsi is the official soft drink of

957
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Food deserves Pepsi. All right, Greg, Holiday

958
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: weekend here, We've already had three games in the books

959
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day, got some others on Saturday before the

960
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: Bills play Sunday afternoon in the Big Window game. So

961
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: in this one, it's I think it's interesting because both

962
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: offenses in this game have turned to their run game

963
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: to try to find some stability on offense. Eagles have

964
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 1: done it the last two weeks against the Raiders and Commanders,

965
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 1: and Barkley has delivered for the most part in settling

966
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,839
Speaker 1: down there their offense. And we know James Cook has

967
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: been the linchpin for the Bills offense at least in

968
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 1: making things right and you know, manufacturing some stability there.

969
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: Who do you feel which offense do you feel stands

970
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 1: a better chance of getting on track in light of

971
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:02,879
Speaker 1: the defenses they will be facing in.

972
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 9: This Well, I'll say this about the Eagles. The Eagles

973
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 9: never had an identity issue. They just didn't execute their

974
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,919
Speaker 9: identity well. The Eagles have a specific template. They kind

975
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 9: of have to play that way. It's the template that

976
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,359
Speaker 9: they won the Super Bowl with. A year ago, they

977
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 9: were a running football team. I mean, people might be

978
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,360
Speaker 9: surprised that over the last three weeks Barkley has the

979
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 9: most carries of any back in the league and the

980
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 9: second most yards. So they're just executing what they have

981
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 9: to be better. Their O line really struggled for a

982
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,800
Speaker 9: good part of the season and they were not able

983
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 9: to run the ball with any kind of sustainability or

984
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:42,399
Speaker 9: to use your word, Brownie's stability. But this is who

985
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,359
Speaker 9: they are and one thing that they've done more of

986
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 9: over the last number of weeks. And by the way,

987
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 9: they're very good at it, and I would expect it

988
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 9: this week, especially because of the nature of Sean McDermott

989
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 9: and how he plays on defense is no huddle and

990
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 9: empty formations.

991
00:54:57,960 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 4: I would expect to see both of those.

992
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 9: The are very good out of both no huddle and

993
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 9: empty and it really helps Jalen Hurts an awful lot.

994
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 9: So you know, look, I don't think it's a secret

995
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 9: that the Bills at times this season have struggled to

996
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,280
Speaker 9: stop the run. I think there's been what you would

997
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 9: know the statistics and probably better than I Brownie, but

998
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 9: I think they've had six games this year there have

999
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,720
Speaker 9: given up one hundred and eighty five or more yards

1000
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 9: rushing and they're four and two in those games, which

1001
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 9: is kind of splashing, right, but they are. But the

1002
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 9: Eagles will look to run the football. I mean, that's

1003
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 9: that's the way they play now. They might take a

1004
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 9: few shots, you know, outside the numbers. That's where Hurts

1005
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 9: is at his best, throwing the ball outside the numbers

1006
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,359
Speaker 9: to Smith and Brown. But for the most part, they

1007
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 9: were running football team, and they've gotten Hurts more involved

1008
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 9: in the run game by design over the last number

1009
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 9: of weeks as well.

1010
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 2: And when you flip it around and staying you know,

1011
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 2: the macro look at everything the Bills offense. I don't

1012
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 2: know that it matches up real well against the defense

1013
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 2: tructed like the Eagles. I mean, certainly the Eagles have

1014
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 2: got a good defense and they're getting Jalen Carter back,

1015
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 2: which is I think a hute and no pun intended.

1016
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:11,360
Speaker 2: It's huge to get him back. This looks like a

1017
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 2: little bit like the Atlanta game for the Bills, and

1018
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 2: it's a bad matchup kind of thing where the the

1019
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 2: you know, the the front really dictates how their defense plays.

1020
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 2: And it really looks like it's going to be tough

1021
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 2: for the Bills to run their type of offense against.

1022
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 4: Well.

1023
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 9: I'm sure it will find out obviously, but Jalen Carter's back.

1024
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 9: Jordan Davis has had a tremendous season. I mean he's,

1025
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 9: you know, going back to last year he started to

1026
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:39,399
Speaker 9: show signs. This year he's been absolutely tremendous. So they've

1027
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 9: got a really nice de tackle rotation with Carter being

1028
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 9: back with Davis, with the Jomo Nakobe Dean is out

1029
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 9: this week. He's a he's kind of an important player

1030
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 9: for them. The rookie Campbell will play very athletic guy.

1031
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 9: But the reason Dean ended up when he came back

1032
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 9: taking pretty much all the snaps. Is because Dean is

1033
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 9: so much better at all the adjustments they make. This

1034
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 9: is a heavily adjustment based defense. Literally snap to snap,

1035
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 9: and Dean is really good at that, and Campbell obviously

1036
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 9: being a rookie, struggles with that. You know, look, I

1037
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 9: think we know that the Bills will come out and

1038
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 9: try to do what they do.

1039
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 4: I think watching their run game.

1040
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 9: With what Aaron Kromer does, I think it's phenomenal. I

1041
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 9: think they're very multiple with their concepts. They'll have to

1042
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 9: be this week. You know, Look, it's a very good defense.

1043
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 9: Eagles have a very very good defense. There's no getting

1044
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 9: around it. We'll see, we'll see what the pass game

1045
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 9: is this week. Obviously, they're telling you by what they're

1046
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 9: doing at wide receiver that they're struggling. I mean, Coleman

1047
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 9: and Davis were healthy scratches. They obviously are not really

1048
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,479
Speaker 9: strong at wide receiver. We'll see, you know, how much

1049
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 9: they play with two tight ends and see if they

1050
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 9: can get Kincaid involved, and see how the Eagles choose

1051
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 9: to defend the tight ends. I mean, we saw, for

1052
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 9: instance in the Super Bowl that the Eagles matched up

1053
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 9: Cooper Degene on Kelsey.

1054
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 4: Quite a bit.

1055
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 9: Will they match him up on Kincaid situationally? You know

1056
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 9: that's something you could see.

1057
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that a lot of opposing offenses have

1058
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: targeted adri Jackson. You know when he comes on the

1059
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: field in the nickel. Would you anticipate the Bills trying

1060
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: to find that matchup as well?

1061
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 9: He's actually their starter, you know. You know, basically they

1062
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 9: played nickel pretty much. They may play near the highest

1063
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 9: percentage of nickel in the league. It's probably in the

1064
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 9: seventy five percent range. Now, the question is what will

1065
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 9: they do because the Bills are a heavy base personnel offense,

1066
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 9: so the question, you know, the Eagles are likely just

1067
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 9: to go base. I would assume that obviously also takes

1068
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 9: Degene away from the ball, you know, and he's a

1069
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 9: very good run defender for a nickel.

1070
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 4: So we'll see.

1071
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 9: But we know the Bills are not a heavy eleven

1072
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 9: personnel offense. They do line up a lot with really

1073
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 9: more with a full back than they do with twelve personnel,

1074
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 9: but more twelve personnel. Lately, Knox has been getting a

1075
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 9: lot more snaps. I'd be real curious to see how

1076
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 9: the Eagles choose to defend it. You know, Jackson, he's

1077
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 9: he's been better over the last month. Early in the season,

1078
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 9: he was a liability. He's been better over the last month.

1079
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 9: The question is, you know, how are they going to

1080
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 9: attack him? The Bills are not really a throw the

1081
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 9: ball outside the numbers, one on one match up pass game.

1082
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 9: You know, that's not really the way they've played, right,

1083
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 9: you know, they're not a match up pass offense with

1084
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 9: their wide receivers.

1085
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 2: Why are the Philadelia Why are the Eagles so good

1086
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 2: against the passer? You know, top seven and yards per game,

1087
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 2: number four and yards per attempt?

1088
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: What's passer rating?

1089
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 2: What's the what's the biggest reason for that success defensively?

1090
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 9: I think that on the on the back end, they're

1091
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 9: really good for a number of reasons. Number one, they've

1092
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 9: got a great corner in Mitchell I think, you know,

1093
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 9: I watch the Eagles every week, as you guys know,

1094
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 9: I think he's a top three to four corner in

1095
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 9: the league. They play more man coverage that people might think,

1096
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 9: but they start out with a lot of sort of

1097
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 9: a quarter's umbrella look, and what they do a lot

1098
00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:00,439
Speaker 9: of is they'll take that safety to the boundaries because

1099
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 9: Mitchell's the boundary corner, He's the corner to the short

1100
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 9: side of the field, and they will let him essentially

1101
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 9: play zero man, and they'll bring Blankenship, who's their boundary safety,

1102
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 9: and they'll bring him right into the middle, and they'll

1103
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 9: squeeze the middle down. So they squeeze the middle down.

1104
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 9: And it's hard to work the middle of the field

1105
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 9: against the Eagles pass defense because of what Mitchell can

1106
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 9: do on the outside and what they allow him to

1107
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 9: do to essentially play zero man. And look, I think

1108
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 9: it's fair to say without you know, we're not talking

1109
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 9: at a school here, that there's probably not a wide

1110
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 9: receiver on the Bills that the Eagles would not feel

1111
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 9: comfortable with Mitchell matching up zero man against.

1112
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 2: And that also plays into the fact the Bills their

1113
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:45,919
Speaker 2: passing game kind of funnels through the tight ends running back,

1114
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 2: which kind of speak to the middle of the field.

1115
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 2: I mean that seems like a rock in a hard place,

1116
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 2: so you know.

1117
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 9: To me, and this is you know, And because I

1118
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 9: watch so many teams, as you guys know, and I

1119
01:00:57,080 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 9: get so focused on route concepts and comings and how

1120
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 9: coaches put all that together.

1121
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 4: In some ways.

1122
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 9: To me, this becomes very much a Joe Brady game

1123
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 9: because everything I just said is this is not something

1124
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 9: that I just know. If I know it, everybody knows it,

1125
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,479
Speaker 9: Steve quite frankly, I mean, I'm just one guy sitting

1126
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 9: watching tape. Coaching staffs know all this. So now Joe

1127
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 9: Brady knows this. He knows more than I do. So

1128
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 9: right now you know he's figuring out how he can

1129
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 9: attack this defense with the pass because more than likely, Look,

1130
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 9: James Cooks had a phenomenal year. You could argue he

1131
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 9: should be in the MVP conversation. But looking at this

1132
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,439
Speaker 9: defense and the way they've played all the year, I'd

1133
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 9: be surprised if the Bills are going to run for

1134
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 9: one hundred and eighty yards. I mean, that would surprise me.

1135
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 9: If they do more, power to him, and it'd be

1136
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 9: wonderful for them. But I would think they're going to

1137
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 9: have to throw the ball somewhere along the line in

1138
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 9: this game and have sustaining success. It's not a matter

1139
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 9: of Josh Allen throwing for three fifty that doesn't happen

1140
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 9: against the Eagles defense. But you're going to have some

1141
01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 9: kind of sustaining success throwing the football.

1142
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 1: Do you see any way that with Campbell in the

1143
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 1: lineup for them defensively, that Bond would get the green

1144
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 1: dot for any reason? Or do you think they just

1145
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: trust Campbell and say make the best of it.

1146
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 4: They don't trust s Campbell like that. I don't think.

1147
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 9: Again, I don't want to speak for vic Vangio, but

1148
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 9: I would not think that Campbell would get the green dot.

1149
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 1: So it's probably Bond one of the things.

1150
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 4: So I think it would be Bond.

1151
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I was just curious as to how that

1152
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 1: how those logistics might work.

1153
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then.

1154
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 1: What do you make of I mean, because it looks

1155
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: like the weather's going to be awful here on Sunday,

1156
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 1: sleep changing to rain, rain, a lot of rain, which

1157
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: is just like it was two years ago when these

1158
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 1: two teams played in Philadelphia in a driving rainstorm that

1159
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 1: was on grass. This will be on turf, so hopefully

1160
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 1: footing is a little bit better. My question is about Goddard,

1161
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 1: because you know, ten touchdowns is hard to ignore. He

1162
01:02:57,840 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: leads or is tied for the league lead amongst all

1163
01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: tight ends with ten receiving touchdowns. Have all of those

1164
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 1: taken place in the red zone? Or has he making

1165
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 1: some hay? Has he made some hay between the twenties

1166
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 1: as well as far as their passing game goes.

1167
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 9: The large number, I don't know if and I would

1168
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 9: bet seven eight I can think of one that was

1169
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 9: not the red zone, but I would say that a

1170
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 9: high high percentage have been red zone designed specific plays.

1171
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 4: You know, So he's a very good player.

1172
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 9: I like, I've always really thought Dallas Goddard was an

1173
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 9: excellent tight end. But those are those are schemed plays, Brownie,

1174
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 9: schemed red zone plays that have been very effective. I

1175
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 9: mean that's what teams do in the red zone. A

1176
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 9: lot of teams you schemed out specific plays, and he's

1177
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 9: been the recipient of those plays.

1178
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're number one in red zone efficiency. I mean

1179
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 2: they're good when they get down there. And you know

1180
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 2: the obvious question, how much of that is the tush

1181
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 2: push that gives them you know, a yeah, a goal

1182
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:02,280
Speaker 2: line kind of running play. But like you say, it's

1183
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 2: not just that.

1184
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 9: No, But I will say this one thing about the Eagles,

1185
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 9: and if they get back to where they were, which

1186
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 9: they're starting to incrementally back to where they were a

1187
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 9: year ago, they are a four down offense. You have

1188
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 9: to be really careful about how you play them on

1189
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 9: third down, because when it's third and eight, that's not

1190
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 9: automatic pass for the Eagles, because if they run the ball,

1191
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 9: let's say, when they get to the minus forty five

1192
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 9: and pass that certainly into plus territory, Steve, if it's

1193
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 9: fourth then three or less, they're going for it. So

1194
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 9: that changes the way they play third down and the

1195
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 9: way you have to defend third down. So, for instance,

1196
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 9: a lot of his own teams, you know, how it is,

1197
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 9: they rally up and tackle and it's fourth and two

1198
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 9: and ninety nine percent of the teams in the league punt.

1199
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 4: The Eagles don't punt.

1200
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 9: They go for it on fourth down, and that's a

1201
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 9: big deal within the context of their offense.

1202
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 1: Last one I got for you, Greg aj Brown obviously

1203
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 1: has been heavily targeted the last few weeks. You know,

1204
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: Ever since I don't know how I would describe it,

1205
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 1: a little disconnect, shall we say, between the quarterback and

1206
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 1: the receiver. You know, in the middle part of the season,

1207
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 1: that seems to have righted itself. Do you think all

1208
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:19,320
Speaker 1: is well in Eagle passing game?

1209
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 2: Land?

1210
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 9: Well, I think over the last number of weeks they've

1211
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 9: done a much better job with their past game concepts.

1212
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:27,960
Speaker 4: I can't speak to why they didn't do this earlier

1213
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 4: in the year. That's a why question. You'd have to

1214
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 4: be in their building to know that.

1215
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 9: But over the last number of weeks they've really expanded

1216
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 9: their past game concepts. As I said, I think the

1217
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 9: no huddle and the empty formations have helped as well.

1218
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:41,400
Speaker 9: You know that no huddle.

1219
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 4: You know.

1220
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 9: One reason I mentioned the no huddle and the empty

1221
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 9: versus Sean is because I think Sean's one of the

1222
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 9: absolute best in the league at changing the picture pre

1223
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 9: snap to post snap. And if you go no huddle

1224
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 9: and empty, you limit the ability of the defense to

1225
01:05:57,280 --> 01:06:00,120
Speaker 9: do that. And of course this is something that the

1226
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:03,439
Speaker 9: Bills and Sean no so they'll have in their mind

1227
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:06,640
Speaker 9: and answer for it. But it's different than if a

1228
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 9: team huddles up and comes to the line of scrimmage

1229
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 9: and you as a defense have a chance then to

1230
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:15,200
Speaker 9: call out adjustments and communicate. So I think you will

1231
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 9: see that in this game, and I'll be curious to

1232
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:18,480
Speaker 9: see how the Bills react.

1233
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 2: Last one for me, Greg so they're coming off a

1234
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 2: two game winning streak, but they beat the Raiders and Commanders.

1235
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 2: Three weeks before that, they were in a three game

1236
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 2: losing street. They lost to the Cowboys, they lost to

1237
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 2: the Bears, and they lost the Chargers. Now the Bears

1238
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 2: and the Chargers are in the playoff, makes no question.

1239
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 2: The Cowboys are not, although they have a great offense.

1240
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 2: What was the biggest reason why the Eagles went into

1241
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 2: a three game swoon there? If there is a generalization

1242
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 2: you can make.

1243
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 9: Well, I think offensively they struggled most of the year.

1244
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 9: I think it's been a tough go offensively. You know,

1245
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:53,360
Speaker 9: obviously being in the Philadelphia area, you know, you know

1246
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 9: what sports talk radio is like everybody's you know, went

1247
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,040
Speaker 9: from being a genius a year ago when they won

1248
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 9: a Super Bowl to being an idiot. You know how

1249
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 9: that works. But it was mostly offense base They could

1250
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 9: not run the football, Steve and they were running team.

1251
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:11,040
Speaker 9: I mean, Barkley's rushing numbers through the first I don't

1252
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 9: know nine ten weeks of the season were really poor.

1253
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 9: They could not run the ball. And that's who they are,

1254
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 9: that's who they have to be, and they've done a

1255
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 9: much better job of that lately. So, you know, I

1256
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 9: think that that's really helped, and again, as I said,

1257
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 9: the no huddle in the empty have really opened up

1258
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,760
Speaker 9: their pass game much more so. In an ideal world,

1259
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 9: this is not a team that wants to have Jalen

1260
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 9: Hurts drop back thirty five or forty times. They would

1261
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 9: love it to be where he drops back twenty five

1262
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 9: to twenty eight times a game, and they control the

1263
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:41,720
Speaker 9: tempo and flow of the game running the football, and

1264
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 9: then their defense holds down the other team, and then

1265
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:46,959
Speaker 9: they pull away late because then they wear you out.

1266
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 1: Greg. Thanks has always appreciated. Have a good weekend. We'll

1267

1353

Speaker 2: we've had high end.

1355

Speaker 2: do it. But man, it's gonna be it was. It

1366
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:18,080
Speaker 2: has been really fun to see everybody and get a

1367
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:21,800
Speaker 2: chance to partake in the atmosphere that happens here on

1368
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:26,160
Speaker 2: a game day. It's man, I'm it's so cool. It

1369
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:29,479
Speaker 2: is just absolutely unique. It's so fun to go out

1370
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:33,559
Speaker 2: and be around and and for browning and eye not

1371
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:36,800
Speaker 2: for nothing. So we put in we get these two

1372
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:39,719
Speaker 2: golf carts to go out and do the Tuesday tailgate

1373
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 2: tag along. It has been a life changer for my pregame.

1374
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:48,599
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because after we shoot our stuff for tailgate

1375
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:52,439
Speaker 1: tag along, Steve completely hijacks the golf cart until he's

1376
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 1: got to go into the game, right, so he's tootling.

1377
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:56,640
Speaker 2: All over there. I have been. I have taken the

1378
01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 2: opportunity to now last time I didn't get it. I've

1379
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 2: still got a place I got to visit week but

1380
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:03,960
Speaker 2: tooling around, being able to go touch base with a

1381
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 2: lot of different people, friends of mine, family, the whole thing.

1382
01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 2: It has been awesome. And I don't know, it's hard

1383
01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:14,000
Speaker 2: to remember this now because it seems like a lifetime ago,

1384
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:16,439
Speaker 2: but if you remember, we started with the home game

1385
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 2: this year, did the Bills and then ended up with

1386
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:25,880
Speaker 2: a road game and then three consecutive home games. Remember

1387
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,080
Speaker 2: it was the Dolphins here, it was the Saints here,

1388
01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:35,000
Speaker 2: and the Patriots here, and the weather was speke absolutely

1389
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:39,639
Speaker 2: spectacular for all of those games. And I've never seen

1390
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:44,120
Speaker 2: Bill's Mafia bloom like they did during September here in Buffalo.

1391
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 2: It was absolutely fantastic. So I'm the timing of this

1392
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 2: Tuesday tailgate tagalong thing we've been doing and the weather.

1393
01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 2: The team has just been really special here in the

1394
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 2: final year at Heimar the Old High Market has been awesome.

1395
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:04,840
Speaker 1: Awesome, So we got two more to do, and who

1396
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 1: knows if there's somehow, some way a playoff game here

1397
01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:12,000
Speaker 1: because of some upsets in the playoffs, that would be

1398
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:14,320
Speaker 1: even better, although I shudder to think what the weather

1399
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:17,960
Speaker 1: will be like in mid January. The Bill's injury report

1400
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:21,120
Speaker 1: has been released, the final one of the week, and

1401
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:24,759
Speaker 1: in addition to Matt Prater, Jordan Poyer, and Jordan Phillips

1402
01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 1: being out, de Kwon Jones has also been declared out

1403
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 1: for this one after he was unable to practice it

1404
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 1: all this week due to a calf injury, and then

1405
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:36,160
Speaker 1: both Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox are questionable for this

1406
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 1: game with knee injuries, So those are going to be

1407
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:46,720
Speaker 1: interesting because the entire dynamic of Buffalo's passing game may

1408
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 1: need to change if Kincaid and Knox cannot play the

1409
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:54,400
Speaker 1: both of them, and they would invariably have to call

1410
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:57,759
Speaker 1: up Kaleki Latu from the practice squad, and he's already

1411
01:15:57,760 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 1: been elevated three times, so he would have to be

1412
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:02,800
Speaker 1: signed to the active roster and they would have to

1413
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:06,840
Speaker 1: make a roster move to make room for him. So

1414
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:11,479
Speaker 1: there could be some pretty noteworthy decisions that have to

1415
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:15,559
Speaker 1: be made by the coaching staff between now and you know,

1416
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 1: Saturday at four and then Sunday at eleven thirty or sorry,

1417
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:22,479
Speaker 1: it's a four to twenty five game, so that would

1418
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:24,680
Speaker 1: be an hour and a half before that would be

1419
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:31,560
Speaker 1: three o'clock give or take so or two fifty five PM. Right, Yeah,

1420
01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:36,320
Speaker 1: and we already know they're trying to manage Kincaid through

1421
01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 1: the rest of the season with a knee injury that's

1422
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:43,080
Speaker 1: probably going to require surgery in the off season, but yeah,

1423
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 1: questionable designation. Hopefully he and Dawson are fit enough to

1424
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 1: get out there on Sunday. Otherwise the task becomes supremely

1425
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:52,959
Speaker 1: more difficult.

1426
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 2: Long long injury list this week minutes. They're not the

1427
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:59,080
Speaker 2: only team that has that, but it's that time of year.

1428
01:16:59,479 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 2: Ye got to manage the red that which is why

1429
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 2: you know the bye week is so critical if you

1430
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:09,519
Speaker 2: can get it. But I think you just I think

1431
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:11,680
Speaker 2: you manage your team as best you can get them

1432
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 2: as healthy as you can, rest who you need to rest,

1433
01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 2: if you're in your in and because of so many

1434
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:20,720
Speaker 2: matchup permutations, you don't know where you're gonna go, or

1435
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 2: who you're gonna meet, or who even that the AFC

1436
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:28,599
Speaker 2: North Division's winner is gonna be. I think you get

1437
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 2: as healthy as you can get. I think you almost

1438
01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 2: throw these games under the under the bus and get

1439
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 2: there as healthy as you can possibly get. Your quarterback's

1440
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:40,280
Speaker 2: got a sore foot. You got three really got important

1441
01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:43,559
Speaker 2: guys in Phillips, Poyer and Pray and the kicker, Prayer

1442
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:46,760
Speaker 2: and Daikwon. They're all hurting. You're both your top tight

1443
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 2: ends are hurting. Just get healthy and hit the playoffs

1444
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 2: running wherever you're gonna think about it though, wherever you're

1445
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 2: gonna go, it's gonna be you know, you're gonna be

1446
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:04,280
Speaker 2: on the road in Jacksonville. That may take it. It's Florida.

1447
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh's not going to be great. New England's not going

1448
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:13,600
Speaker 2: to be great. Take the good weather matchup and be

1449
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:16,040
Speaker 2: healthy when you get there, you know.

1450
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:19,360
Speaker 1: Speaking of healthy, the New England Patriots, who have a

1451
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:23,680
Speaker 1: game against the Jets, are pretty beat up after their

1452
01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:27,680
Speaker 1: game with the Ravens last Sunday night. Not playing and

1453
01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:31,040
Speaker 1: out for the Patriots this week. Wide receiver Kyle Williams,

1454
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:35,439
Speaker 1: the rookie Harold Landry, their best pass rusher Kayshawn Booty

1455
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:41,759
Speaker 1: in concussion protocol, Mac Hollins. Robert Spelane, their middle linebackers,

1456
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:43,439
Speaker 1: is going to miss his third consecutive game with the

1457
01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:49,679
Speaker 1: ankle injury. Jared Wilson, they're starting left guard, and Kyris

1458
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:52,760
Speaker 1: Tonga has a foot injury. He's the defensive tackle that's

1459
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 1: filling in for Milton Williams, who remains on ir to.

1460
01:18:57,400 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 1: Mario Douglas and Traveon Henderson are questionable for the game,

1461
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 1: so they're going to be supremely shorthanded. But they are

1462
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:08,400
Speaker 1: playing the Jets, so it may not matter.

1463
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:10,519
Speaker 2: And they just just took it on the Chin from

1464
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:17,440
Speaker 2: the Saints Juggernaut of the Saints. Yeah, we'll see.

1465
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 1: It's a lot of I mean, they haven't had a

1466
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:24,360
Speaker 1: lot of injuries until late in the year. Here the Patriots,

1467
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:27,760
Speaker 1: I mean, part of the reason for their success is

1468
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 1: they've managed to stay relatively healthy for most of the season.

1469
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:37,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, I understand the case you're making, Steve, and

1470
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:42,120
Speaker 1: I get it rest up until you get to the

1471
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:44,639
Speaker 1: postseason with guys that are a little gimpy. I would

1472
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 1: obviously put Kincaid in that category. And we don't know

1473
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 1: the severity of Knox's injury, but it has kept him

1474
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:57,160
Speaker 1: as a limited participant in practice. So we'll have to

1475
01:19:57,160 --> 01:20:00,760
Speaker 1: see who they have and who they don't have. But yeah,

1476
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:02,519
Speaker 1: you got to look down the line a little bit

1477
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:07,639
Speaker 1: here to wildcard round. I'd like to have the five

1478
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 1: seed instead of the sixth. I still believe there's value

1479
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:13,120
Speaker 1: in that, but there is there might be more value

1480
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:16,479
Speaker 1: in being healthy for the playoffs than unhealthy, especially knowing

1481
01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:19,040
Speaker 1: in the last several seasons the Bills have entered the

1482
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 1: postseason unhealthy and it's cost them.

1483
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:24,920
Speaker 2: You got to go on the road three times anyway,

1484
01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:30,280
Speaker 2: and I just think it's better to go in now,

1485
01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 2: and so much of this is beyond your control. You

1486
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:35,840
Speaker 2: got to control what you can control. I get it.

1487
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:39,160
Speaker 2: Give yourself the best chance to win that first game,

1488
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:40,439
Speaker 2: then do what you can do with the rest of it.

1489
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:41,920
Speaker 2: You don't know where you're gonna go after that, either,

1490
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:48,040
Speaker 2: you know, you don't know, so I'm I'm kind of

1491
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:50,600
Speaker 2: with you. I just would you rather go into in

1492
01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:53,439
Speaker 2: the second round of the playoffs? Would you rather go into, say,

1493
01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:56,640
Speaker 2: for instance, Denver, the one seed on the road, or

1494
01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:58,720
Speaker 2: do you want to go back to New England as

1495
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 2: the second as the divisional round opponent? You know, yeah, that's.

1496
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:06,559
Speaker 1: I'd almost rather play Denver, just to play a new

1497
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:09,720
Speaker 1: team exactly then the Patriots a third time.

1498
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:11,920
Speaker 2: That's hard. It's really hard.

1499
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I know what you're saying. Let's see what

1500
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:20,120
Speaker 1: questions you have for us. In the OBL Friday fan

1501
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:24,479
Speaker 1: mail bag on the Twitter side of things, where Nate

1502
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 1: asks us, if the playoffs started today, who is the

1503
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:30,719
Speaker 1: biggest threat to our Super Bowl dreams? The other teams

1504
01:21:30,760 --> 01:21:38,080
Speaker 1: are hours So once again, if the Bills are healthy,

1505
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:44,639
Speaker 1: then it's not your own team, it's everybody else. Yeah,

1506
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:49,880
Speaker 1: I would say, I don't, I don't. They're probably not

1507
01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:52,240
Speaker 1: gonna have to go to Houston because Houston is presumably

1508
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:54,519
Speaker 1: going to remain a wild card team, just like the Bills.

1509
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:57,240
Speaker 1: I do not want to go down there. That place

1510
01:21:57,320 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 1: is a house of horrors for the Bills. I don't

1511
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:01,400
Speaker 1: think the Texans are the best team in the playoff pool,

1512
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,680
Speaker 1: but they're a problem for Buffalo. They're like Buffalo's kryptonite.

1513
01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 1: I can't make heads or.

1514
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:08,679
Speaker 2: Tails of it. I'm not that down on that matchup,

1515
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:12,040
Speaker 2: but I know what I've seen. The fact that something

1516
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 2: happened in twenty nineteen where they blew a sixteen point

1517
01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:17,400
Speaker 2: halftime lead has nothing to do with this crew. No,

1518
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:23,920
Speaker 2: And and even though that that matchup between the Bills

1519
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:27,960
Speaker 2: and the Texans, I mean, it was, goodness gracious, it

1520
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:29,240
Speaker 2: was all the way back in.

1521
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:33,519
Speaker 1: What week was it was, uh, right after Halloween, I

1522
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:35,599
Speaker 1: want to say it was.

1523
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 2: It was week twelve. So it's a month and a

1524
01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:39,360
Speaker 2: half ago. It will have been a month and a

1525
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:42,559
Speaker 2: half ago, two months ago. By the time they play again,

1526
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:44,800
Speaker 2: if they do, that'll be two months. There'll be two

1527
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:48,080
Speaker 2: different teams. Yeah, so that doesn't really bother me. And

1528
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 2: it's tough to beat a team twice, even if it

1529
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:55,639
Speaker 2: isn't your building. Yeah, I always got to stay ahead

1530
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:59,559
Speaker 2: of them. So again, there's a reason. There's a reason

1531
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 2: that the Texans are going to end up twelve and five,

1532
01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 2: or maybe twelve and seven or ten and seven. There's

1533
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:10,800
Speaker 2: been some teams that have gotten.

1534
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:17,679
Speaker 1: Them and their offense disappears sometimes. So Harold asks, why

1535
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:20,519
Speaker 1: is Reggie Gilliam not on the Pro Bowl Games roster?

1536
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:24,519
Speaker 1: I would agree. I thought that was the biggest snub

1537
01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:28,400
Speaker 1: on the Bills roster for Pro Bowlers who did not

1538
01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:33,320
Speaker 1: get there. Reggie has, as we all know watching Bills games,

1539
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:37,880
Speaker 1: been an instrumental part of the Bills league leading rushing attack.

1540
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 1: I think anybody can plainly see that. And I think

1541
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:47,479
Speaker 1: what really has rubbed people the wrong way is the

1542
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:50,720
Speaker 1: guy that was named to the Pro Bowl at the

1543
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 1: full back position was Patrick Ricard from the Ravens, and

1544
01:23:56,520 --> 01:23:59,599
Speaker 1: he was only healthy for nine games so far this season,

1545
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:03,959
Speaker 1: so he hasn't had nearly the impact for the Ravens

1546
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:07,320
Speaker 1: that Gilliam has had for the Bills. He went there

1547
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:14,439
Speaker 1: largely on name recognition, and that's disappointing because I thought

1548
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:14,920
Speaker 1: Reggie was.

1549
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:17,080
Speaker 2: Gonna have a really good look at Reggie plays full

1550
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:19,439
Speaker 2: back on the number one leading rushing team in the

1551
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:24,000
Speaker 2: national with the lady rusher in the National Football League.

1552
01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:27,599
Speaker 2: There's something in that, right, And yeah, you're right. In

1553
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:29,800
Speaker 2: a year when he probably had stood a chance of

1554
01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:32,519
Speaker 2: getting there, this is it's disappointing to see him not

1555
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:33,000
Speaker 2: get there.

1556
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:37,880
Speaker 1: Ed asks good or bad. What's been the most eye

1557
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:43,559
Speaker 1: opening about this Bills team and season. I would say

1558
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:50,360
Speaker 1: the collective lack of production from the receiver room outside

1559
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:57,240
Speaker 1: of Khalil Shakir. It has been intermittent, to say the least.

1560
01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:02,519
Speaker 1: It genuinely has surprised this season. I did not think

1561
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:06,240
Speaker 1: the production would be this inconsistent.

1562
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:11,880
Speaker 2: I think, if if this, you know, if they if

1563
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:13,920
Speaker 2: all their hopes and dreams do not come true, if

1564
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:16,639
Speaker 2: this is another win a playoff game and go home year,

1565
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 2: or winning the conference championship, whatever, call it what you want.

1566
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 2: If you come come up shy of the Super Bowl,

1567
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:27,599
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna look back at this and say,

1568
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:29,439
Speaker 2: it would have been nice to see what they could

1569
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:31,760
Speaker 2: or would have should have done if Ed Oliver and

1570
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:35,760
Speaker 2: Mike Hoyt stayed healthy. I think the ripple effects of

1571
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 2: those two guys being out hamstrung their ability to play

1572
01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:42,600
Speaker 2: complimentary football. Their defense was a completely different unit. It

1573
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:44,920
Speaker 2: took them forever to figure out any way to even

1574
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,160
Speaker 2: kind of try and stay in games, let alone win

1575
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:51,719
Speaker 2: games defensively. Took them forever to figure that out because

1576
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:55,080
Speaker 2: it was such a huge loss that took the top

1577
01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:59,360
Speaker 2: guys right off their pass rush, and they've spent the

1578
01:25:59,439 --> 01:26:01,439
Speaker 2: entire year to figure out how to do it without them.

1579
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 2: They've done well. They've hung in there and they begun to,

1580
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 2: you know, churn out some turnovers and and Bosa has

1581
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:10,800
Speaker 2: been a much better addition than people I think gave

1582
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:13,720
Speaker 2: him credit for all of that. But with Bosa ed

1583
01:26:14,040 --> 01:26:17,680
Speaker 2: and Michael Hoyd in there, I would love to what

1584
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:22,200
Speaker 2: stands out to me eye opening is how you know,

1585
01:26:22,520 --> 01:26:25,360
Speaker 2: like every year, every team will say it, how good

1586
01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:28,160
Speaker 2: they could have, would have should have been had the

1587
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 2: right guys stayed healthy.

1588
01:26:30,439 --> 01:26:33,280
Speaker 1: Break time for us here. When we come back, we'll

1589
01:26:33,280 --> 01:26:35,760
Speaker 1: give you our vision to victory for the Bills in

1590
01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:38,599
Speaker 1: this big matchup with the Eagles. We'll get to that

1591
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:41,600
Speaker 1: and maybe a final thought or question answered from the

1592
01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:43,760
Speaker 1: mail bag when we return here. On one, Bill's live

1593
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:53,480
Speaker 1: presented body can out of health. It's Buffalo Bill's radio

1594
01:26:56,400 --> 01:27:00,120
Speaker 1: vision to victory is presented by ad Wall eye Care,

1595
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:02,519
Speaker 1: the official eye care provider of the Buffalo Bills. For me,

1596
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:04,960
Speaker 1: it's pretty simple, Steve. Bills have to get up on

1597
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:08,639
Speaker 1: the scoreboard against the Eagles, because they are every bit

1598
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:10,640
Speaker 1: as good as the Bills, and they get up on

1599
01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:13,679
Speaker 1: an opponent choking out the game with their rushing attack.

1600
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:15,640
Speaker 1: They can do that if they feel they need to.

1601
01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 1: You can't let them get ahead of you buy much

1602
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:21,080
Speaker 1: on the scoreboard. Otherwise it's going to be a long

1603
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:23,400
Speaker 1: afternoon of trying to stop their run. Put them in

1604
01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:25,560
Speaker 1: long down in distance and hope you get enough opportunities

1605
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:27,120
Speaker 1: for your offense to climb back into the game.

1606
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you got to. You've got to find a

1607
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:33,799
Speaker 2: way to stop their run game. You heard Greg Cosell

1608
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:36,680
Speaker 2: earlier on our show today. They're not built. They don't

1609
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:38,760
Speaker 2: want Jalen Hurts to have to throw the football all

1610
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:41,000
Speaker 2: over the yard. That's exactly what you want them to do.

1611
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 2: They've got great receiver. AJ Brown is a dude, and

1612
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:48,720
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts knows where he's at. Dallas Goddard is a

1613
01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:54,320
Speaker 2: great tight end. You've you've got to stop their run game.

1614
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:55,840
Speaker 1: No explosives.

1615
01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:58,080
Speaker 2: You can't let them snap off big runs and all

1616
01:27:58,120 --> 01:27:59,519
Speaker 2: of that. So if you can do that, and like

1617
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 2: Brownie said, obviously, if Josh can find a way to

1618
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:05,679
Speaker 2: move the football, stay on the field, score some points

1619
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:08,720
Speaker 2: and put that extra pressure on their offense, you're going

1620
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:11,200
Speaker 2: to be better off. So that's what I think about

1621
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:12,920
Speaker 2: this game. You got to find a way to, like

1622
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 2: Brownie said, get up on the scoreboard and stop their run.

1623
01:28:20,040 --> 01:28:20,960
Speaker 2: That'll go a long way.

1624
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:24,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's vision to victory. Presented by at wall

1625
01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:27,800
Speaker 1: I Care. One final question in the mail bag comes

1626
01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:31,160
Speaker 1: from Connor, who asks, if you had to make a prediction,

1627
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:34,400
Speaker 1: how long do you think Josh Allen plays in this game?

1628
01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:37,320
Speaker 1: With his limited availability this week, would it be worth

1629
01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:40,840
Speaker 1: resting him some. By the time the Bills play the Patriots,

1630
01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 1: game will be over and I would imagine that will

1631
01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:47,200
Speaker 1: weigh heavily on the decision. Well, you still even even

1632
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:51,479
Speaker 1: if the Patriots beat the Jets, as long as you

1633
01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:54,040
Speaker 1: beat well, you don't even have now that I think

1634
01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:55,599
Speaker 1: about it, you don't even have to beat the Eagles.

1635
01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:59,519
Speaker 1: You just have to beat the Jets in Week eighteen,

1636
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:02,080
Speaker 1: and you need the Patriots.

1637
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:03,240
Speaker 2: To get beat by the Dolphins.

1638
01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:06,719
Speaker 1: Right, but I think that might not give you enough wins.

1639
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 2: It will, It'll give you enough wins only if you

1640
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:09,719
Speaker 2: beat the Eagles.

1641
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,000
Speaker 1: If you gotta beat the Eagles, So you gotta win

1642
01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:13,320
Speaker 1: your last two, and they got to drop one.

1643
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:17,080
Speaker 2: Bills have to win both games. New England has to

1644
01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:19,840
Speaker 2: lose one of them. That gives Bills the Bills the tiebreaker.

1645
01:29:20,040 --> 01:29:22,160
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna be resting anybody here.

1646
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:24,840
Speaker 2: Because Josh's gonna play as long as he needs to

1647
01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:25,639
Speaker 2: to win this game.

1648
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:29,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the wild card race is just as tight.

1649
01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:32,360
Speaker 1: If it matters to the Bills to be to improve

1650
01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:35,200
Speaker 1: to the five seed or not be the seventh seed,

1651
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:38,400
Speaker 1: it makes a difference. That's it for us. Enjoy the

1652
01:29:38,439 --> 01:29:40,360
Speaker 1: game this weekend, Steve and I'll be back for a

1653
01:29:40,400 --> 01:29:42,120
Speaker 1: three hour show on Monday. We'll see you New
