Speaker 1: Down Buffalo at a Steve Tester who has been all

2
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,400

00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,560

Speaker 1: country where Bills fans may now reside because this team

38
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: put its stamp on the twenty twenty regular season and

39
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: has a host of fans and probably all of them

40
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: giddy about what could be in store in the twenty

41
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: twenty post season. Steve was giddy during the broadcast as

42
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: you heard, oh he's got he's got a macat, He's

43
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: got a macat on the Jerry Hughes fumble. He said

44
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: that was and I said it. I've said it. I'll

45
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: say it again. I've said it like every week. I'm

46
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: sorry about it stepping on Murph's call, but man, I

47
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: am up. I am like neck deep in hype right now.

48
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: Like this this whole sound. You sounded like an eight

49
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: year old on it acat. I mean, that's what you're

50
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: scream at the TV when you're watching at home. How

51
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: many times you see in the linebacker pick it up.

52
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna try and make some hammy, you know, he

53
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: ends up swirling around or he fumbling it away or whatever.

54
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: And so Jerry starts doing that and I'm like, okay, well,

55
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: you know who's gonna get out. There's a guy, okay there.

56
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: His first move is the most impressive part. He gets

57
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: the ball, he switches to the other hand. He switched

58
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: the ball looking like Walter Payton with the hand, and

59
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: I tweeted this. I tweeted this right after he scored

60
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: because I remembered this from doing a big, long feature

61
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: story on Jerry probably like three years ago. Now, Jerry

62
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: was like an all district running back in high school

63
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: back in Texas. Yeah, and he was like an all

64
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: district return. Man. I mean, this isn't foreign territory for Jerry. Yeah,

65
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: he switched the ball twice or he's not carrying it

66
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: like a running back, but he caring like a like

67
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: a like a like a linebacker. But he switched the ball.

68
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: He switched hands like twice, and uh, I couldn't believe

69
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: he actually got loose. And it was a testament to

70
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: his teammates it Actually he looked like he was gonna

71
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: stumble and fall all over right when he picked it

72
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: up and he shook off. One guy shook off. Another

73
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: stepped up and make a cut up the field and

74
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: j Klein made two blocks. Tarn Johnson man two blocks

75
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: he got in and man, oh man. And you know

76
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: the cool part about it, We've we've got a bunch

77
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: of tweets on our Twitter pulling all that already about

78
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: what's cool. But the thing is cool about it he

79
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: gets over the sideline, he's gassed. I mean you can

80
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: tell he's sitting on the thing on the bench, he's

81
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: and all the guys are absolutely going crazy right around

82
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: right in his face, like Dion Dawkins and Feliciano all right,

83
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: last said, they're all standing there screaming at him. They're

84
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: so excited for he can't even breathe, he can't even

85
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: he's he's sucking weird. Most most of his plays last

86
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: about six seconds on the long end. That one was

87
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: about twenty five, right, and he had and he was

88
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: running like his hair was on fire for like for

89
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: twenty of it. He's guys, that was so hilarious at play,

90
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: And that really was when you knew, like, wow, it's

91
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: over now. That's well. Yeah, they had two touchdowns I

92
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: think in fourteen game seconds, fourteen seconds on the seventeen

93
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: seconds on the clock, maybe seventeen seconds elapsed off the

94
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: game clock, and the Bills had scored two touchdowns. Yeah,

95
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: and that was, Yeah, it was. The Broncos were dead

96
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: in the water even before that, right, I mean, they

97
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: really to be fair, and the Broncos have had a

98
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: very trying season with injuries and everything, and you know

99
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: going into that game they were a wounded duck with

100
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: three healthy cornerbacks, and then one of them got ejected

101
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: in the second half, m Ojamudia gets ejected from the game.

102
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: They were down to two corners. But even then the

103
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: game was already over. And you knew what the bill

104
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: strengths were going into this game, going against three healthy corners,

105
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: most of whom had not played with one another. I mean,

106
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: it was one of the things that it was death

107
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: by by entry, by the thousand, by the thousand cuts. Yeah.

108
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: They the thing that came evident as the game wore

109
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: on that the Bills took real advantage of. And this

110
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: will this is something you can think about when when

111
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: you seek the team get injured. What happened was Josh

112
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: would give him a hard count laid in the late

113
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: in the down clock, and they would jump and he

114
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: would get a handle on what the defense was he

115
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: could change the play. Because of the inexperience in their secondary,

116
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: the Broncos couldn't change their defense in response to give

117
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: Josh something other than what he expected. They had to

118
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: kind of stay in the defense that the opposing quarterback

119
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: already knew was going to be run and he crushed

120
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: him as a result of it. And you know, plus

121
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: the fact that forget about the defense. The Broncos offense,

122
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: they got one short field that they cashed in on,

123
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: and they had one other drive where they could actually

124
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: stay on the field, and other than that, they were

125
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: they were not able to move the football at all.

126
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: And I think that believing in this team and what

127
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: is truly possible this season on the part of the

128
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: fan base. And I'm not talking about the die hard

129
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: fan base. I think they were on board several weeks earlier.

130
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: But the tsunami of Bills fans that have now come

131
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: out of the woodwork, the casual fans, the cast an

132
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: occasional eye at to what the Bills are doing. Those fans,

133
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: they're all on the wagon now, and they all came

134
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: on board with this victory. This was the tsunami, the

135
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: critical mass where the entire community is now weighing down

136
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: the bandwagon. They're all on now. If there was any stragglers,

137
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: anyone with any doubt, anyone that was afraid of being disappointed,

138
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: they're all on. They're all on board now. And you

139
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: could see it just out in social media, you know,

140
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: around town, people got selling out the Division champion t

141
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,400

00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: Road to come to the studios today, I mean, it's

144
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: what sixty seventy deep hanging out the door right now.

145
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got to bring people in with proper

146
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: social distancing. They can't let people, they can't let everybody

147
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: in the store and want to line down Abbot Road

148
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: in front of the stadium this morning. So it has

149
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: reached critical mass. The fan following the frenzy, whatever you

150
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: want to call it, and with good reason. With good reason,

151
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: I mean, these kinds of seasons as we know here

152
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: in Western New York have not come around very often

153

00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: and he's gone through a lot of lean years. A

157
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: lot of his friends at school have been the fair

158
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: Weather bandwagon fans, following a lot of the front runners

159
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He did not do that. And he

160
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: comes to me after the game Saturday. I'm trying to

161
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: get my work done, and he comes in and He's like, dead,

162
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: is this just to one year thing? And I was like,

163
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm happy to tell you this team is going to

164
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: be good for a while. Yeah, this team is going

165
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: to be good for a while. He's like, Okay, good.

166
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: I was like, that doesn't mean you shouldn't soak up

167
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: and enjoy every part of this because even though this

168
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: team is probably going to be good in years to come,

169
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: competitive in years to come, there are so many different

170
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: circumstances that come up with each and every different NFL

171
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: season where there might be unexpected things that maybe keep

172
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: the Bills from achieving the things that they could potentially

173
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: achieve this year. Next year, you know, you could have

174
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: some unexpected injury. You could have a coaching change this

175
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: offseason that changes the dynamics of maybe how well this

176
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: offense operates. There are a whole host of things that

177
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: could come down the pike. So will this team be

178
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: good for years to come? I believe it will be,

179
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: just in just based on how the front office and

180
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: the coaching staff have positioned this roster, have fortified this roster,

181
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: have kept it strong, etc. Etc. But soak every step

182
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: of this up now, because special seasons like this do

183
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: not come around often, and the division championship is something

184
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: that I think everybody's enjoyed. But I think there's also

185
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: more for this team to achieve. The players feel it,

186
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: the fans recognize it, the coaching staff sees it. But again,

187
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: they still have to just stick to their one step

188
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: at a time routine that coach McDermott is adamant about

189
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: them staying on and with good reason. Yea, believe me,

190
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: there's still a lot of room for failure here. I

191
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: mean you can, I mean if you if you don't

192
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 1: win the next two games or you know, go one

193
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: on one or whatever happens in the next two games,

194
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: you get to the playoffs and you're done after one game?

195
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: How sick are you gonna feel? You know that this

196
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: is a really precious and all too infrequent opportunity for

197
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: a team that a lot of people thought might be

198
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: better but didn't think they would be this good, or

199
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: didn't if they thought they'd win the division, they didn't

200
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 1: think they'd win the division like this. Uh yeah, this

201
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: is a This is a precious team that you got

202
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: to soak up and enjoy. Next year it is going

203
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: to be a different team and last like last year

204
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: was a different team. They're all cool, they're all special,

205
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: But you're right, brownie, they're gonna be competitive for a while.

206
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: I think you know. If you if you want to

207
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: look for examples of how it goes wrong for teams

208
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: over the course of thing, look at the Philadelphia Eagles,

209
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: who winning a Super Bowl with Nick Foles. They lose

210
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: Frank Reich, John D. Philippo on the coaching staff. Now

211
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz doesn't seem to play as good. Now he's

212
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: a mess, and now they he may be out of Philadelphia,

213
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: have to signing a one hundred million dollars guaranteed contract.

214
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: And Frank Reich is now a head coach in Indianapolis

215
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: and he's doing well. So that you know, you break

216
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,599
Speaker 1: that that chemistry up or change it and altered in

217
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: any way. It doesn't always get better. Sometimes it gets worse.

218
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: And that's what the Bills are kind of looking at

219
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: with this. Uh, this is a precious special season. We're

220
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: enjoying it. We can all agree that it's a very

221
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: nice drink of water after a long, long dry spell,

222
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: and you should enjoy and savor it, no question. Speaking

223
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: of enjoying things that happened over the weekend. The game

224
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: obviously is number one. There was another piece of video

225
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: right after the game that people consumed with a voracious appetite,

226
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: perhaps never seen before, and I will give credit where

227
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: it is due. Michelle Girardi's Umwalt along with her editing

228
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: and videography staff over at PSC, along with our own

229
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: JJ Tarito who runs Instigators and Bill's Field pass over here,

230
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: they worked with Steve on the script that you saw

231
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: come to life after the AFC East Division was clinched

232
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: by the Bills. And for those of you that haven't

233
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: seen it, and I can't believe there aren't too many,

234
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: this is gold, people, this is gold. So if our

235
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: guys on the other side of the door are ready

236
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: to roll it, let's let it rip. Our MSG viewers

237
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: are gonna watch it endless and already old listeners obviously

238
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: are only gonna listen. But this is goldy Amy Fairburn

239
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: ready to go. After the timeout, It is a twenty

240
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: eight yarder for the winner. The kick is on the way,

241
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: it is up. It is good. And the Houston Texans

242
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: knocked the Bills out of the playoffs and the Bills season.

243
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: Trust me, I get it. There's a lot of pain

244
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: and going home empty handed. Hi, I won't be over

245
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: this until we start playing again. But the kind of

246
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: pain that eats at you just makes us hungrier. But

247
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: I promise you, our guys are hungry and we'll be

248
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: back and we'll never stop fighting. Winners know how to

249
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: turn that pain into growth. And late last night things

250
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 1: heated up between the Minnesota Vikings and the Buffalo Bills,

251
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: ending with Stefan Diggs being traded to Buffalo putting on

252
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: a clinic now, can't beat stop. It's in the same

253
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: old bills. Man, We're not gonna let anybody on the

254
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 1: outside tell us who we are. Come on, what you're

258
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: our blue collars and our rust belts. Let's just keep

259
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: faking guys out of their shoes. Oh God, the ankle

260
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: locking soon. Go ahead, keep calling us underdogs while we

261
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: unleash our quarterback. On the end, everyone, John Sound's been incredible.

262
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: It's a thing. It's becoming a superstar thing. But fine

263
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: way finding a way. Tell us we can't stop the best,

264
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: that we won't meet the moment and we will find

265
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: a way to a little cheaksaws picked up picked up

266
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: by Jordan Poyer in the endo, intercepted by Terran Johnson

267
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: the midfield funny doggle right side by. He's gonna sport

268
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: this year. There's no in the hunt backing in settling. No, no,

269
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: we're not showing up to the playoffs on a guest pass.

270
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: We're writing our own ticket. Easiest way in the playoffs

271
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: is winning your division. That's our mindset, that's our goal.

272
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: So we'll see you in Buffalo in January. Be ready,

273
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: it might be chilly. It's gold, Jerry, it's gold. It's

274
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: absolute gold. We did get a report this morning in

275
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: our meeting, our daily meetings department meeting that has been

276
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: viewed over a million times in forty eight hours. It

277
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: is insane, but oh it's so good. It's so juicy.

278
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: I read Steve was in here last week going over

279
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: the script before he went over to the stadium to tape.

280
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: It probably was it Wednesday or Thursday last week, yea,

281
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: And he read it to me. I'm like, well, that's

282
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: gonna be good. That's gonna be good. And the first

283
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: thing it reminded me of was it was kind of

284
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: like Dennis Hopper esque from that commercial about Bruce Smith

285
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: bad things man right. It kind of gave me that

286
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: same kind of vibe. And you guys captured it. So

287
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: good on you. Good on Michelle Girardi, zelm Walt and

288
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: JJ Rito and people over at they loved the cigar

289
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: standing job with it. Yeah that was your ideas, I

290
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: was your I said we should try that, and I

291
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: they said, we'll see. So he you know, they did

292
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: it both ways, with and without because you know, you

293
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: know when people are going to react and how you

294
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: know whatever, and they left they put it in and

295
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: right at the end and uh yeah, I got Yeah,

296
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: if you're a Bills fan and you don't get chills

297
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: from that, you don't have a pulse. I'm sorry. Like that.

298
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: It was fun. It turned and I was awesome. I

299
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: we shot it, you know, took us on on an

300
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: hour and hour and fifteen minutes to do all that,

301
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: and and I came over. We did the show, and

302
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: I I didn't think he thought. I know, I hope

303
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: it's you know, hope it turns out. Now, I don't know,

304
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: how's it gonna look you know, and plus they didn't.

305
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: The last thing you want to do is have that

306
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: thing pop out before they actually win the game, right, Yeah,

307
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: So because we didn't, we want to be the thing like,

308
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: hey the kicker hasn't missed in six months and you know,

309
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: or right, hey we're gonna win the AFC East and

310
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: then you know, so they got this thing under wraps.

311
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: You know, nobody knows what's gonna look like, how it's

312
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: gonna turn out and stuff. They it was pretty cool.

313
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. It was pretty cool. Pretty cool. Indeed,

314
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: Twitter poll today. Obviously people are still euphoric over the win,

315
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: the convincing win, the dominant win, but we are asking

316
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: you on the Twitter poll today, what is the best

317
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: part about this Bill's team right now? We know a

318
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: lot of people are. We know everybody's happy with what

319
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: this team has accomplished so far this season, and there's

320
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,479
Speaker 1: more to do, as they know. Even their shirts were

321
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: saying one not done. But I think this team has

322
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: enraptured people in different ways. I think there are different

323
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: things that they really enjoy about this football team. So

324
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: we thought this would be a good question. What is

325
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,399

Speaker 1: absolutely magical. It was epic. For the time I watched it,

340
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: I cried what did I wanted to punch someone in

341
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: the nose, And the third time I watched it, I

342
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: cried again. Yeah, Chris, your article about franchise turnaround on

00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: that stogy in the stadium. Yeah right, I know, right.

349
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: Good thing security wasn't there that day. I told Steve.

350
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: I told and this is a true story. I told

351
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: Steve when he was talking about maybe using the cigar

352
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: and bringing it over there, I said, if somebody stops you,

353
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: what you should do is just point up to the

354
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: wall and say, yeah, that's my name up there. I

355
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: think I'm good. Right, well, you know on the wall

356
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: because you're not trying. It wasn't about the say, you know,

357
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: we're not trying to glorify smoking or tobacco use or

358
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: anything like that, and we're not trying to you know,

359
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: promote vices of any kind. Um. It was just more

360
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: about an attitude of an like a guy like me,

361
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: an old guy with a cigar who's kind of like

362
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: doesn't you know, does not care? Right, So Karen's going

363

Speaker 1: on in here. You guys are awesome, and yeah it's

364
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 1: not the job for you guys. It's clearly a passion

365
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: that we want over in our bills. Yeah, well, I'll

366
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: tell you what it is. A privilege to be a

367
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: particular season like this. I mean, Brownie has been here

368
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: forever and he's you know, I mean he remembers the

369
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: three and thirteen debacles in two thousand and the five

370
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: turnover debacles, and the fifty six to ten debacles, and

371
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: the and the what I can't believe we lost that

372
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: game debacles and all the bad things in the gut

373
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: punches this fan base on us and me as a

374
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: as a former member of the team sitting there watching

375
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: and being here in town and being loving the team.

376
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: You know, we all kind of experience it together. So

377
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: to be here and be able to talk about it

378
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: every day like we do, yeah, it's a gift, There's

379
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: no question about all. Right, So Ken, after all of

380
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: that and we appreciate all of it. Best part about

381
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: this team right now for you, Oh man, I'm just

382
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: gonna have to see the overall team. Man. Just seeing

383
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: all them people at the airport the other night, and

384
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: like you guys were touching on everyone coming out to Woodwork.

385
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: I've been a Bills fan through thick and thin, and

386
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna shame these new fans that are coming

387
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: out because we just love it. Man. Seeing that banner

388
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: in front of city Hall, seeing all them people out

389
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: there at the airport. But how much better can he

390
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: get than that? Yeah, hard to argue, Ken, And thanks

391
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: for the call. We do have to get to some

392
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: other people. And I'll say this too, Steve, the year

393
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: that we have all had to endure here with this pandemic.

394
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: I thought that the pandemic would really unify us as

395
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: a community, since we're kind of all in it together

396
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: and we all have to do the right thing. And

397
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: it's it hasn't come together like I thought it would,

398
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, with everybody on the same page. This football

399
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: team does it. It pulls everybody together where I feel

400
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: like everybody's rolling downhill at once at whoever's standing in

401
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: the way. And that's why, as Ken pointed out, and

402
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: I thought that was a good point, doesn't matter if

403
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: you're a new fan, doesn't matter if you're just jumping

404
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: on the bandwagon this week. There's plenty of room just

405
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: jump on were all and enjoy it. We were all

406
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: new fans at one point, and there's no you know,

407
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: it's a good time to be a new fan, no

408
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: question about it. So I'm yeah, I'm totally with you

409
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: can I think it's a good point. There's no reason

410
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: to shame uh, somebody who just got to the party.

411
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: But because you know, it's like, uh kind of like

412
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: being in the service when you got a bunch of

413
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: hash marks down, you're down your sleeve from being through

414
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: through the battles. You can wear that with pride, but

415
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: you can also welcome the new recruits as well. So

416
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: it's a yeah, it is a it's a lot like

417
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: and I've said it before, Brownie. You you know this.

418
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: Wherever you go, there is a kinship with Bills fans.

419
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: They do seem to be have an affection for one

420
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: another that does not describe other fans the way it

421
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: does Bills fans. Yeah, no question about it. Let's get

422
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: back to the phones. Eight h three oh five fifty

423
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: Harvey in California out on the left coast. Harvey, what

424
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Where I feel like everybody's

425
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: rolling down hail at once? Harvey. Turn the radio down,

426
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: turn your listening device down. You're on with us? Mant

427
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: no we lost Harvey. Harvey can't we can't wait on

428
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: the Sorry about that, but big delay out there. And

429
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: she's got to be listening on his phone or something.

430
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: That's why it's so far behind. We move along. We

431
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: go to Devin and Rochester. Devin, what do you have

432
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: for us? You're on One Bill's Live. Hey Brownie, Hey Steve. Um,

433
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: thanks taking my call. Uh don't usually ever call in,

434
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: but Brownie just wanted to say I've been a big

435
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: fan of years and the work you do for a

436
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: long time. And Steve was a fan of you as

437
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: a player and love you guys as a broadcast team.

438
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: You guys do a great job with this show. Um.

439
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 1: I'm also glad you touched on Steve's video there because

440
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: I might hang on after the call, Um if I

441
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: could get Steve's address. I just wanted to send them

442
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: an invoice for the dry wall that I ran through.

443
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Um, but no, it's it's it's so cool.

444
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm thirty six and uh, you know, there's so many

445
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: of us at my age who are have kind of

446
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: going through the circle of life thing with our kids.

447
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: I have a son, Miles at six, and he's into

448
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: flag football. He's playing and he's just obsessed with you know,

449
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: Alan and Diggs, and he knows all the players. And

450
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that's so much fun

451
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: about it is reliving it through him. But then the

452
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: thing I love about this team is, you know, I'm

453
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: a culture warrior. I know not everybody that listened to

454
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: the station is, but just the messages that McDermott puts out,

455
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: you know, stay humble, stay hungry, and like how you

456
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: know we can all use that in our daily lives,

457
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: but how it you know you can project that onto

458
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: the kids. And it's just fun, man, because I got hooked.

459
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: You know, I was in first grade the first Super

460
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: Bowl run and was hooked ever since. And just what

461
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: a fun year. All right, good call, Devin. Thanks for

462
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: the kind words as well. Uh yeah, I'm with Devin.

463
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: I was after you finished that video, I was ready

464
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: to put a helmet on and go run and hit somebody.

465
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: I was jacked up, man, And you know it does.

466
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: And there's there's always gonna be this hollow pang of

467
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: of pain because there's not gonna be fans, you know,

468
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: at this January playoff game probably. I mean, you know,

469
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: we all we've all heard, yeah, we've all seen the

470
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: Cuomo stuff, and you know it's for right now, it

471
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: looks like a pipe dream, although you know it's a

472
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: month away. But still that's the that's the painful part

473
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: about it. But I had the same buddy who called

474
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: me about the about that Oh he's got to get in.

475
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: When I busted it on first call of Jerry Hughes,

476
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: he called me, goes listen. He said he sent a

477
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: video to me and some of our group and it

478
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: was a picture last twenty nineteen of opening day, right

479
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: before opening kickoff, and he he was up in this

480
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: upper deck panning the stadium and the roar, everybody doing

481
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: the Oh the whole stadium is doing it in Unison,

482
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: and I mean I got choked up. It's just to

483
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: see the stadium full and the emotion and the optimism

484
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: of opening day, and you knew how it was gonna

485
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: end up, you know, at that way, it's gonna be

486
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: a playoff season. And that was like it was like, uh,

487
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, oh for that moment again, that was after

488
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: I got over the thing, like oh, people used to

489
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: sit together, you know. Yeah, I'm scarred by the code,

490
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: but it was foreign to My buddy sent a video

491
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: of the stadium right before that they were lined up

492
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: ready to kick, and it was I was like, wow,

493
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: it was just unbelievably moving. And you know, it's a

494
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: sad part about the whole thing. Yeah, I think everybody

495
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: misses it, players included. I mean many of them were

496
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: even talking about it after the win. Just regretful that,

497
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: you know, the fans couldn't experience it with them. Now,

498
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: there were some fans because there is a big Denver

499
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: Bill's backers club out there in Colorado, and they were

500
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: outside the stadium waiting by the buses to cheer them

501
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: back to the airport. They cheered him on the way

502
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: into the stadium. So it's just the I gotta tell you,

503
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: just hearing from the players, those little room finders, you know,

504
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: these little pockets of fans that show up, these little

505
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: reminders that hey we're here, Hey we're here, we're rooting

506
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 1: for you. Those are things that that sit with the players.

507
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: It sticks with them. Yeah, those little reminders are just

508
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: that little extra boost, like, oh, there they are, they

509
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: are that they are out there. You know, they are

510
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: cheering for us, They are supporting us, even if we

511
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: can't see them on Sundays or game days. It's making

512
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: a difference. So keep it up. We have to take

513
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: a break because when we come back, we are going

514
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: to have the guy on the line who sent a

515
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: congratulatory email to one Sean McDermott after the division title

516
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: was clinched. Hall of Fame head coach Marv Levy will

Speaker 1: Hall of Fame coach Na Treasure. Leave you well. I

525
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: didn't want to go too far there. I didn't want

526
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: to overstap. I don't know what the rest of the

527
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: country things, but we know he's a Buffalo Treasure for sure. Marv.

528
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: How you doing. I'm doing fine, Thank goodness. They're in

529
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: this terrible coronavirus pandemic and you guys sound like you

530
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: are too. I sure hope that's the case. Yeah, it is.

531
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: Thanks for asking. Everybody's doing well. When we win the division. Marv,

532
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: I know you used to take it for granted, but

533
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: we heard that you sent an email to Sean McDermot.

534
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: I know you have a good relationship with him. What

535
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: was your message to him and what made you want

536
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: to reach out to him. Well, yeah, I have a

537
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: high regard for Sean. I have gotten to know him

538
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. I don't over burden on rare occasion

539
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: he might contact me to ask a question. I've been

540
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: impressed with his approach, with how he's doing it, with

541
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: his total organization idea, with his William and Mary background.

542
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: I've always had great respect for those William and Mary guys.

543
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: I coached there for five years and they were really

544
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:25,479
Speaker 1: wonderful overachievers. You know one a former teammate a year,

545
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: Steve and Mark kelso high character. Anyway, I've been intense

546
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: with Sean from time to time. I certainly haven't overburdened him.

547
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: But my message to answer your question finally, was just

548
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: to congratulate him, to wish him well down the line,

549
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: to tell him that I realized that his whole organization

550
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: that wins, to pass that along, and then I told him, Okay,

551
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: that's it, get back to work on the next game plan. So, Marv,

552
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: when you did you have an op first of all,

553
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: did you have an opportunity to watch the game live

554
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: or did you just kind of get win to the

555
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: final score and then said, oh, let me let me

556
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: fire off an email there I saw most of the

557
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: game live. I did. Yeah, okay, So with that in mind,

558
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: did it stir up any any memories of your own?

559
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: There a little reminiscing if you will. Well, No, every

560
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: game is different, and it's much different being involved to

561
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: the degree that I was at the time, and and

562
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: you know all the preparation you go through. I don't

563
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: know the full roster right now. I don't know the

564
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: coaching staff right now. And I've always said that when

565
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: people would give me credit for our wins, that it's

566
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: not just a good quarterback, not just a good coach,

567
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: it's a coach. It's total organization that wins. So I'm

568
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: rambling all over the place. But the feelings are much

569
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: different the course where I am now than they were

570
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: when I was down on the field during the course

571
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: of a game. Marvel, what do you how far do

572
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: you think a team like the Buffalo Bills on a

573
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: year like this can go. I know we had back

574
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty eight. We came a little bit out

575
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: of nowhere from a team that was, you know, after

576
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: the strike year of nineteen eighty seven, we rolled out

577
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: and went twelve and four and lost in the AFC

578
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: Championship game, and a little bit out of nowhere. Now,

579
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,239
Speaker 1: while the Bills have been out in the playoffs two

580
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: out of the last three years, they're a little bit

581
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: less out of nowhere. People expected them to be good,

582
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: but just kind of relate how valuable an opportunity this is, Well,

583
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: it is valuable, and it's going to be that for

584
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: don't forget for other teams too, who are avidly prepared.

585
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: And it's so I don't think there's one thumbnail explanation

586
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: I can give. It's exciting, but don't let it overwhelm

587
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: You go to work. The partying is not for the

588
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: players and coaches. The fans do that. You concentrate on preparation.

589
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: Even in a game that you might win, it won't

590
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: all go your way. Be ready to bounce back. Preparation because,

591
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: as Benjamin Franklin once said, failing to prepare is preparing

592
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: to fail. Yeah, amen to that, Marv. I don't know

593
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: how many of the Bills games you've managed to catch

594
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: this year but if you have caught a few of them,

595
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: is there is there something in particular that you're particularly

596
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: fond of with this group? And I'm talking players on

597
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: the field now. I know you've already expressed your affinity

598
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: for coach McDermott and his staff, But with this team,

599
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: this group of men that you see out there every week,

600
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: is there something that particularly appeals to you about this group? Well,

601
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: I can't nail it down or I'll miss some. You know,

602
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: everybody knows a good quarterback, and they sure do have

603
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: one right now and shall and that's obvious, But it

604
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: takes far more than just a good quarterback. And Jim

605
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,959
Speaker 1: Kelly I'll tell you that too. Frank Reiche will tell

606
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: you that, by the way, he's having quite a bit

607
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: of success in Indianapolis, another guy of high character. No,

608
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: so I'm rambling around in my answer, but that's because

609
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: i can't give you a right on the money explanation.

610
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: More of how impressed have you been with the National

611
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: Football League's ability And we've talked about the pandemic a

612
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: couple of times, with the NFL's ability to get this

613
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: season up and running and not missing. We've had some

614
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: games shuffled around and the schedules had to be massaged.

615
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: But the fact that the NFL has gotten this entire

616
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: season in I think maybe the most startling development of

617
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: the entire football year. Very good point, excellent point, and

618
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: yes they are to be commended. I have always had

619
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: very high regard for Roger Goodell, and once again, I'll

620
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: take that further again. It isn't just a great commissioner.

621
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure he has I don't know them all or

622
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: many of them, fine staff working with him and so,

623
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: but the NFL has done a magnificent job during these

624
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 1: very trying times of keeping the season going, keeping the

625
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 1: fans interested, and adapting Marva. Just with respect to the

626
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: build that this front office regime kind of undertook four

627
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: years ago. You know, I know you kind of came

628
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: on board here in eighty six with Bill and you

629
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 1: guys had a plan and a vision and then you

630
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: had to go about taking the steps to put a

631
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: roster together that propelled you guys to four straight AFC titles.

632
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: I'm not putting that on this team, but just with

633
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: respect to the build and the way they kind of

634
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: took it a step at a time, no quick fixes.

635
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: If you will. What's to be said about the construction

636
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: project that they undertook here that's now kind of bearing fruit. Well,

637
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: you've expressed it extremely well. It takes time. It's a

638
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: construction process. You appoint in the organization, some who the

639
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: fans having. You have no idea who's who or what

640
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: they're doing, but people working. Again, it isn't just a

641
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: great quarterback or coach. It's a total organization that wins.

642
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: And no one, no one I've ever known, was more

643
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: into how total organization works than Ralph Wilson, the owner

644
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: and the way and then is if appointing guys like

645
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:36,240
Speaker 1: Bill Polian and director to play the personnel, John Butler

646
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 1: and so many others in the organization who the fans

647
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: don't know of that contributed, and by the way, also

648
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: contributing are the fans And I don't know. I can

649
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: remember after we lost that that first Super Bowl game

650
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: and the crushing disappointment that the fans and our players felt,

651
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: in certainly Scott Norwood, who this field going very slightly

652
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 1: outside the write up. Right when we came back to Buffalo,

653
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: all the fans that greeted us there and they chanted

654
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: for Scott to talk and I remember Scott, who was

655
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: really a little bit of a quiet stadium self guy,

656
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: saying because of you, we will be motivated to go back. Boy,

657
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: he hit it on the head. The fans helped it. Yeah,

658
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: exactly right, Marv. Now now we've got to ask you this.

659
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: There's two games left in the regular season. The Bills

660
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: are the AFC East champions. They really are out there

661
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: out of the running for getting a bye week in

662
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: yearly because there's only one bye week by this year

663
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: to the top sketed team. They can't reach that. But

664
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: they have got the championship two games left and then

665
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: no bye week. They go straight into the playoffs. What

666
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,240
Speaker 1: do you think Sean McDermott should do about resting players

667
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 1: or playing players. I don't know if we did it.

668
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: I think we might have done it a couple of

669
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: different ways. Obviously we're in the playoffs. But you know,

670
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 1: what's your flat about how fresh you want to hit

671
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: the playoffs and how sharp you want to stay while

672
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: getting there. My impression is that's his call because you

673
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: don't know who he doesn't want to protect, who he

674
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: doesn't want to get playing time for. You know that

675
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: that's the type of thing advice, advice, advice. I remember

676
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: once Ralph Wilson wanted me to fire a couple of

677
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: assistant coaches for reasons that were wrong, and I persistent, persistent, persisted,

678
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 1: and I realized I was putting myself in a position

679
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: where I might get fired. When I finally got done,

680
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: Ralph said to me, Ah, I still don't agree with you,

681
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 1: but you're the coach, and so as far as Sean

682
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: is concerned, he may make a decision that I would

683
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: have made differently, but he's the coach. Yeah. The last

684
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: one I've got for you, Marvi is and I think

685
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: we touched on it a little bit earlier, but we

686
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: saw this team go to the playoffs last year lose

687
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: a game in heartbreaking fashion. Josh Allen said he wasn't

688
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: going to get over that until they started playing games again, which,

689
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: as you know, is a sizeable gap between January and September.

690
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: But I kind of liken it to maybe some of

691
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: the lessons your players learned in the game that Steve

692
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: referenced losing that AFC title game in eighty eight, and

693
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: how that may have I don't know what the right

694
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: word is here made them more battle tested, hardened, them,

695
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: gave them a lesson as to what playoff football is

696
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: and how you have to play once you get to

697
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: the second season. I'm wondering, if you feel like the Bills,

698
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: that will serve the Bills well as they go back

699
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 1: to the postseason this year. Well, you know, I don't

700
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: know the players on that team very well at all,

701
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 1: but I do recall that when I was with when

702
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: I joined the Bills, with Bill pull In and Ralph Wilson,

703
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: we've made an agreement that we would bring aboard our

704
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 1: team only people of high character. How do they bounce

705
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: back from disappointment was one of the qualities winning a

706
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 1: high character, And so I'm hoping that that's what the

707
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: Bills are made of now as well. And I, like

708
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: I say, I don't know them. My impressions are all

709
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: favorable from this distance. So, like hundreds of thousands of

710
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: others right there, I'm pulling for the Bills. I'm a

711
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: Bills fan. Marve, I can't. I just want to say

712
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: thanks for coming on with us. I know you're going

713
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 1: to get inundated because every time the Bills have success,

714
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: everybody wants your word on it. And I can't tell

715
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,280
Speaker 1: you how much of a treat it is for Brownie

716
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:50,919

Speaker 1: tons of emails on his inbox voicemail for interview requests,

726
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: so we appreciate him taking the time to be with us.

727
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: Marv's one of the few people, no matter who it is,

728
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: whatever crowd you're in, if Marv comes into the conversation,

736
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:55,760

743
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,640

744
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: same way as a head coach. He just wanted it.

745
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: He just wanted him, you know, to be happy with

00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 1: your all. He was really a motivating guy. He got

748
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: some criticism after we lost the first Super Bowl. He

749
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: got some criticism because he wasn't a raw rock guy

750
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: like Bill Parcels, you know, had that yeah fire and

751
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: Briton and and he he was. He would get that

752
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: way once in a while behind closed doors. Right, he

753
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: was way out in front of all of that. And

754
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: he came in one day and everybody was saying, you know,

755
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: he they heard the criticism. He goes the guys. Let

756
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: me tell you something. If you if you need me

757
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: to get you pumped up to play in these games,

758
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: you're not the guys I want on my team. That'll

759
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: work too. At work, right, he labeled us the kind

760
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: of he would put labels on us of the kind

761
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: that we wanted to be, and by labeling us that

762
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,279

Speaker 1: knew how to uplift and inspire people, not only with

765
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: the words that he said, but also with the way

766
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,280
Speaker 1: he lived and the things that the way he treated

00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: I see that the pump up video is gonna be

803
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: eighty percent of what our fans are gonna be looking

804
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: back on about it, guys. The biggest thing I can

805
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: go back and say this is the confidence. The confidence

806
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: is exactly what's gonna get us back to those nineties

807
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: glory days. Thanks guys, taking my call, Mary, Christmas, Steve

808
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: fired off, Baby, let's go all right man, Thanks Christmas.

809
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: Oh that's one right, guys, for my word, that's right, Steve.

810
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: He's ready to run through a wall for you after that.

811
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Yeah, And he's And it's everything's on the

812
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 1: table for this team. They're playing well enough and they're

813
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: playing at a high level to beat anybody in the playoffs. Um,

814
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: now they're gonna have to do it on game day.

815
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: And we saw last year how they got off to

816
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: a hot start in the in the first round of

817
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and they go okay, they're gonna do it,

818
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 1: and you know it came apart on them. Um, hopefully

819
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: they learned a lesson from that. But you still gotta play,

820
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: you gotta do this, and there He's right. Their confidence

821
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: is probably off the charts right now. And I think

822
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:38,479
Speaker 1: a lot of it from from my experience. A team

823
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: really gets confident when they look around and see everybody

824
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: they know and everybody they all their teammates and the

825
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: coaching staff doing a really great job at what they do.

826
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: And you got to think about Josh Allen and this

827
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: offense when they go in on a Wednesday, for instance,

828
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: this Wednesday and Brian Dave Ball puts up on the board, Hey,

829
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: we're gonna try this statue of liberty play right, So

830
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: they're thinking, you know, they're like, and then we're like,

831
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna work. Oh no, let's do it. We can

832
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: do it. And the success that they have had running

833
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: the plays that day Ball has called the success that

834
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: they have had listening to the adjustments that that Leslie

835
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: Frasier have made at halftime and during the games and

836
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: series to series to series, adjusting on the fly and

837
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: as they go, uh, Josh Allen checking out of a play,

838
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: that that was called and hitting Stefan Diggs on a

839
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 1: fifty four yard bomb down the left side when you're

840
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 1: already up double digits. Seeing you, yeah, I want that. Yeah.

841
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: Seen your teammates, your coaching staff, all the guys that

842
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: you're playing with and watching them play, you know, against

843
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: the other offense or against the other defense, all of

844
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: them doing a great job just raises the level of

845
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: confidence in the locker room and your ability to beat anybody.

846
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: And it also is highly motivating you to get ready

847
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: to do your job. Yeah. So they're they're in a

848
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: sweet spot right now where this thing can gathering momentum

849
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: and they will continue to get better. They got to

850
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: coach over there preaching humble and hungry, and the hunger

851
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 1: part of it means getting better every day and every week.

852
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 1: And they have really really done it. Let's go back

853
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: to the phones. We go to Kevin and Rochester. Kevin,

854
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: what do you have for us here on one bills Live? Hey,

855
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: how you doing a guy? Good hood? Yeah? I just

856
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,280
Speaker 1: want to start the conversation off by saying, hey see

857
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: and a biscuit, y'all need to be in the hall

858
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: to the voters. Yeah, there you go. Biscuits out there too. Man,

859
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: he does need to get in for sure. Yeah, both

860
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: of you guys. But but I want to say right now,

861
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: is this concerning our team right now? Because I got

862
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: I got some boys fifteen, thirteen, and seventeen, and they

863
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: have never seen the Bills win. They've been watching us

864
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 1: loose all these years, and there embracing it. And I

865
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: think it's a great thing because it's like taking me

866
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 1: back to where I was when I was watching Steve

867
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: Tasker pop the guys from the Rams on that fumble.

868
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: Everybody's seen it all the time. I'm watching Darryl Talley

869
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: go across the middle, the Biscuit blitzin. I'm watching Bruce

870
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: and all the rest of the guys. Now I'm not

871
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: even saying offensive guys, but the guys that we had,

872
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 1: and I'm seeing that chemistry come back. And it's coming

873
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: back because we got leadership at the top. We just

874
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 1: had Marva and spectacular where he talked and everything. But

875
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,760
Speaker 1: Marvel was a leader. And if we see anything about

876
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, he's a leader. Brandon Bean, he's a leader.

877
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 1: And I finally feel like we have leadership, not only

878
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: from those guys, but from the put Googla's that's gonna

879
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 1: keep us here in Buffalo and ride this way and

880
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: we didn't got to worry about next year and that

881
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,800
Speaker 1: let's enjoy it. We haven't had any feature enjoy like

882
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: this is so long. Why not embracing who better than us?

883
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 1: Let's go Buffalo. Yeah, good, call Kevin for it. We

884
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Let's get one more in here before the

885
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: top of the hour. We got plenty of time for

886
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: your phone calls on the other side too, So hang

887
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: around because we've got a totally open half hour to

888
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,879
Speaker 1: take your phone calls here after we break at the top.

889
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 1: But let's get Dave from Florida in here. Dave, you're

890
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: on one Bills Live. What do you have for us?

891
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: What's up, guys? How you doing good? Doing good? Listen.

892
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: I've been riding this bills wagon since the early sixties,

893
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 1: the ups and all the downs and all the ups.

894
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 1: What I wanted to coming on was Josh Allen's Statue

895
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: of Liberty play. I got a call back. I thought

896
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: it was one of the greatest plays I've seen in

897
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: all the years I've seen. It was outstanding, but go

898
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,439
Speaker 1: back well executed, Yes, and you guys have been married

899
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:58,839
Speaker 1: Christmas because we are going to now go Bills, all right,

900
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: thank You're right that the Statue of Liberty was an

901
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: absolute fantastic play call. And I gotta say, Steve, like

902
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: I was trying to think off the top of my head. Obviously,

903
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 1: we all remember the Boise State statue of Liberty play

904
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 1: against Oklahoma in the bowl game that helped them win

905
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: that I believe they won that game. Yeah, I mean

906
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 1: that was just that was memorable because of the stage

907
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: that it was on. I'm sure there's some team somewhere

908
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 1: in the college ranks that has run that play since

909
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: that game, which is probably about eight ten years in

910
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: the rearview mirror now, but in the NFL, we have

911
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: not seen many people run that play, and I think

912
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 1: it just speaks to the confidence that this team has.

913
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: And you heard coach in the post game if you

914
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 1: listen to the post game addressed by Coach McDermott that

915
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:47,879
Speaker 1: was on Buffalo Bills dot com right after the game

916
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 1: Saturay night, and you can find it on there if

917
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 1: you want to check it again. He said, you can

918
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: do anything you want if you stay focused on the

919
00:50:57,760 --> 00:50:59,879
Speaker 1: task at hand. You guys can do anything that you want,

920
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 1: and he you'd be very hard pressed to get a

921
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: player on that roster right now that doesn't think they

922
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: can do anything they want. Win in seven in the

923
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 1: last eight right now, that's right. And I've seen it,

924
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: not just here in Buffalo, although a lot here in Buffalo,

925
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: particularly yesterday, they used up every red zone play they

926
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 1: had yesterday because they kept getting they must scored. They

927
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 1: scored thirty five touchdowns and like four of them counted. Yeah,

928
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean they they were scoring all the time and

929
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: even and they kept getting called back. It was like, ah,

930
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,839
Speaker 1: but the creativity that you see from Brian Dable down close,

931
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,800
Speaker 1: you've got to really do that these days. That's the

932
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 1: kind of the modus operendi for red zone offense in

933
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 1: the NFL. You gotta get the defenses off their mark,

934
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: you got to. You gotta get them distracted, or you

935
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 1: gotta get them move in the wrong way. And if

936
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 1: you do that and then maybe you can you can

937
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: make something happen. The Bills have been extremely good at it.

938
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 1: They were gets a really good red zone defense yesterday,

939
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: and the Broncos are lucky that the officials helped them

940
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,760
Speaker 1: were on their side. Yesterday because they would have crushed

941
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: their red zone defense yesterday. The Bills, we're scoring almost

942
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 1: on every possession down there. All right, we have to

943
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: take a break. Jeffrey in California, Harvey in California, he's back,

944
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: he's ready this time, and others holding it eight oh

945
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty. We will get to you in

946
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: the next segment here as we have an open segment

947
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: for you to let us know what is the best

948
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:20,799
Speaker 1: part about this Bill's team right now for you more

Speaker 1: of your phone calls when we return here on One

950

Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

951
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field,

952
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 1: kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

953
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

954
00:52:54,760 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 1: in the strated beere of normalcy. He gets in your way. Man,

955
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: you can do whatever it is you want to do, man,

956
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: whatever it is you want to do, as soon as

957
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: you stay home on hungry right, stay humble and hungry. Unbelievable, man, unbelievable.

958
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: Four years, man, four years to make it right here, baby,

959
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 1: years to make it man. Yeah, I got to bring

960
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 1: something up here and starting all of this man years ago,

961
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: starting all of this by believing in the Buffalo Bills

962
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 1: and keeping the Buffalo builds in Buffalo and given me

963
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: my first opportunity as a head shone carry for gold.

964
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: But we did something that nobody's done in a very

965
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,800
Speaker 1: long time. Understand what the stake tho, Understand what the

966
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: there is out there more for us. This that's fine

967
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 1: and Dandy, this that and shirts fine and Danny, I'm

968
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 1: the one that says a super Bowl chance enjoined us

969
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: and enjoy the flight. Let's move on tomorrow. All right.

970
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: Those are your AFC champions in the Victoria's postgame locker room,

971
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: and you heard the head coach four years you heard

972
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: his voice crack. He was emotional. Um. As he said

973
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: in the very video that Steve that will make Steve

974
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 1: Tasker famous all over again, he said after that Houston

975
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 1: playoff loss last year, Winners turn pain into growth, and

976
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 1: Josh Allen might be the most fitting example of that

977
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: in terms of the growth that we've seen from him,

978
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: because it has been astronomicum. But it goes up and

979
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 1: down that entire roster, at least all the guys that

980
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: were here for that playoff loss last year. That hurt.

981
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 1: That thing hurt. You're up six team nothing at halftime

982
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 1: and you lose the thing in ot Yeah that hurt.

983
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 1: Yeah that was rough. That was really rough. But they

984
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: have grown from that. I don't I don't think there's

985
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: even a question they have grown from it. And I

986
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:13,439
Speaker 1: think we will see evidence of that growth even after

987
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 1: this team completes the regular season and moves on to

988
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,800
Speaker 1: the postseason. That growth will be tangible, it will be

989
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: visible because things get a whole lot tougher. There's a

990
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: whole lot more adversity that you have to face when

991
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: you get to playoff football because everybody's really good, right,

992
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 1: everybody's really good, and usually they're playing well too, so

993
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 1: they you're not gonna get any gifts in the playoffs.

994
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: It's it's really hard to have that happen. And this

995
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 1: team is certainly is one of those teams you got

996
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 1: to look at and say, Wow, that's a team that's

997
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: really sailing into the into the postseason two weeks ago,

998
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:47,759
Speaker 1: and it's it's funny now and not funny, it's just now,

999
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: you got to play these last two games, right like,

1000
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: we're in the playoffs, and that's the thing. Don't have

1001
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: a letdown now that the first step has been realized, Right,

1002
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 1: you don't want to you don't want to stumble in

1003
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:58,319
Speaker 1: or stumble to the finish line. You've got the new

1004
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 1: England Patriots, who are I don't care what happened, yes,

1005
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 1: And I will say this about that game yesterday that

1006
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: Patriots lost to the Dolphins. Um, I was like, there's

1007
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: no way Tah is gonna beat Bill Belichick. There's just

1008
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: no way it's gonna happen. He didn't do a whole

1009
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 1: lot yesterday. Well he was twenty two or twenty one

1010
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:17,320
Speaker 1: to twenty six. He completed the balls he was supposed

1011
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 1: to complete stuff, and he overcame an early interception. Yeah,

1012
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 1: I that to me now is the first time for

1013
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: me because we don't watch him every day or watching

1014
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: him everybody. Is the first time. I'm like, Okay, now

1015
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: I see what Dolphins fans have been talking about. Right,

1016
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 1: just he's been on it, was on it yesterday, did

1017
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 1: a lot of good stuff. He ran for two touchdowns.

1018
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: It was just a nice game by Tuah. And I'm yeah,

1019
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are playing good and it's hard to beat

1020
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I don't care if they are if they

1021
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: do stink. Yeah, they are always in the right defense

1022
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 1: and they're always in the right play on offense, and

1023
00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: they're hard to beat because of that. They are. But

1024
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,320
Speaker 1: let's go back to the phones as we are, asking

1025
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: you what is your favorite part of this Bill's team

1026
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: right now? There's a lot of choices, a lot of

1027
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 1: things to choose from. For sure, this is a personal question.

1028
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 1: So give us how this team has impacted you in

1029
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: the best way possible. What you like about this team

1030
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 1: the most. Right now, we lead off with Jeffrey out

1031
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: on the left coast in California. Jeffrey, what do you

1032
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: have for us? Night? Good morning, gentlemen, Good morning morning.

1033
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 1: The best part of this team for me is a

1034
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 1: depth at the coaching staff the general manager has built

1035
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: and it was evident when Williams went out and then

1036
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: Seki stepped in, he held down that old line. But

1037
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 1: the team that I want to touch base with this

1038
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 1: Bills Mafia. I've been a fan since nineteen eighty nine,

1039
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 1: just a little boy in front of the TV on

1040
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 1: the West Coast. While all the other Raiders fans in

1041
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: San Francisco, forty nine Ers fans wanted me to join there,

1042
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 1: but I wanted to be different. I wanted to represent

1043
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills out here in California, and I stuck

1044
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: with it. And all that pain and suffering that I

1045
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 1: went through, those fours, those four Super Bowl losses and

1046
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: all that, I just want to tell the fan base,

1047
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 1: this is just the beginning. This is just the beginning

1048
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: of the excitement. This is just the beginning of the glory.

1049
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 1: And I got three keys to Tampa that stay healthy,

1050
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: execute and take it to the competition. And last but

1051
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 1: not least, what's up to my boy j Bone in

1052
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: West Seneca. You guys have a blessed Christmas and gold

00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 1: Cleveland before they got into it. It was Jim Brown.

1066
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: But that's all in the past. Um. But what I

1067
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: what I really want to say, is I want to

1068
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 1: give you an example. I feel like I represent Bills fans.

1069
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 1: For two years, I had to wear San Diego Chargers

1070
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: shirts because they lost two years in a row. And

1071
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm here in a senior place with five hundred people,

1072
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: and for two years, man, I took a beat. Well

1073
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 1: this last year we won, man, And oh man, you

1074
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 1: guys won, I said, of course we won. We're Bills fans.

1075
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: We hang in there. What do you mean we won? Yeah?

1076
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 1: So so here's the question, Harvey. Do you have everybody

1077
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,640
Speaker 1: else in the senior center there wearing Bill's gear? Now,

1078
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 1: did you win some bets? No, but they believe. Oh yeah,

1079
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 1: I got this guy. He's the cook, he's the chef

1080
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: from now. He had to wear micors. He got off

1081
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: to you go with the pandemic. He can't wear my clothes.

1082
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, right right right, all right, Well that's a

1083
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 1: good call, Harvey, and thanks for doing it. Good luck

1084
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: out there on the West Coast rooting for your Bills.

1085
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 1: Stay well, Harvey. Um, yeah, it's uh, it's interesting how

1086
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 1: people become fans. You know, we're hearing all these different things.

1087
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 1: You get Jeffrey out in California want it to be different.

1088
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 1: Didn't want to root for the Raiders or the Niners.

1089
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 1: When all of his friends are like, I'm root for

1090
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: this thing, He's like, I'm rooting for the Bills. What

1091
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: the heck? Um? And here he is, you know, thirty

1092
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 1: some odd years later, and it's all coming to a

1093
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 1: head for him. Let's go to Clarence and Buffalo. Clarence,

1094
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live.

1095
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: Good morning. How you guys are doing today? Okay? Good

1096
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: Happy happy holidays to you. Also, thanks you as well.

1097
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 1: I'm seventy two years old. Good morning, and I was

1098
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: actually lucky enough to see the very first game played

1099
01:00:54,840 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 1: in the old Rock Pile, and during those years gone

1100
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 1: through the winning seasons in the AFL when we won

1101
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 1: the championships in the AFL, and we've gone through the

1102
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 1: championships with the Bills when they won the championships in

1103
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 1: the AFC, AFCN AFL, and I'm really really excited about

1104
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 1: what's going on right now with this football team. It

1105
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: brings back memories and I'm really proud of them. And

1106
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 1: one of the things that I'm proud of about is

1107
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 1: to see is that how well this team is together.

1108
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm talking about this football I'm talking about as being

1109
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: individuals and making themselves a true team drop dustin football,

1110
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 1: but outside of football. And last but not least, I

1111
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: like to thank the Pagoulas for keeping the Buffalo Bills

1112
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, because without them keeping them here, we

1113
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't be going through the things we're going through right now.

1114
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: So have a good day, gentlemen. All right, Yeah, I

1115
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 1: think it's it's it's readily apparent the tight knit nature

1116
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 1: of this team. You can see it, whether it's on

1117
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 1: the bench after big plays. It's not just defensive guys

1118
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 1: congratulating Jerry Hughes perfect example, fumble return for a touchdown,

1119
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 1: big play for the defense, second straight week with a score.

1120
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 1: It's not just defensive players. You got offensive lineman there,

1121
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 1: You've got Josh Allen there. I mean, they're the tight

1122
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 1: knit nature of this team. Crosses, sides of the ball,

1123
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 1: crosses phases of this team. And that's that's that's largely

1124
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: been cultivated by coach McDermott. I mean, we we learned,

1125
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, the very first year he started coaching this team,

1126
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: he would get players up in front of the room

1127
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 1: at a team meeting, share their personal story why they

1128
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 1: play football, um, who they play for, uh, circumstances that

1129
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: they've had to deal with in their lives. And it

1130
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 1: helps the other players on the roster learn about their teammate.

1131
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 1: He's more than just a jersey and a guy in

1132
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 1: an under a helmet, you know. Now, he's somebody you know,

1133
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 1: somebody you don't want to let down. And it creates

1134
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 1: a tighter bond player to player, so when the going

1135
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 1: gets tough on a football field, they're ready to pull

1136
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 1: the rope with him. Yeah, there's a lot more in it.

1137
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 1: We uh you talked to the old guys that I

1138
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 1: played with. It was one of the things that set

1139
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 1: us apart as as we It was more organic back then.

1140
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 1: M We played together a long time and I was

1141
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 1: covering kicks with Mark Pike for eleven years. Guys like that,

1142
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:35,360
Speaker 1: and slowly but surely, over time, you start to get

1143
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: to know guys and then you get to know their

1144
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 1: families and then you get to know their in laws

1145
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 1: and their kid, you know, all their can as the

1146
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 1: kids come along. So there were there was such a

1147
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: depth of knowledge about the guys you were playing with,

1148
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 1: and there was a level of affection there that that

1149
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: carries you through some rough times and because of that,

1150
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: um you play better and those little and the same

1151
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: thing that Marv used to tell us, you know, there's

1152
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 1: only two percent difference in these teams teams from one

1153
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: to the other, from the thirty first ranked team or

1154
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 1: thirty second ranked team to the number one ranked team,

1155
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 1: there's only two percent difference. But inside that two percent

1156
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 1: is a one hundred percent of the difference. So there's

1157
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 1: a lot in that two percent, and a lot of

1158
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: it has to do with everybody's comfort level with the

1159
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: place they work and how how excited they are about

1160
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 1: working hard and being part of the group. And yeah,

1161
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: so that's it's really a true thing, and it's it's

1162
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 1: that's why culture and you know McDermot said, and he

1163
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 1: was labor like, I don't know culture Trump's tactics. I mean,

1164
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 1: that's yeah, that's big statement, but it's really true. That's

1165
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 1: the one that's out there all the time. Too. Hard

1166
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 1: work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard, right, you know.

1167
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 1: And he's about that too. I mean, there is a

1168
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 1: nose to the grindstone approach based on daily self improvement.

1169
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:56,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is having the year of his life right now,

1170
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean his coaches aren't trying to make

1171
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 1: him better and he's not committed to getting better every

1172
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 1: single day, because that's what the prescription is here. Become

1173
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:09,400
Speaker 1: the best version of yourself and be better than you

1174
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:12,439
Speaker 1: were yesterday, no matter how good you are. And that's

1175
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 1: what these players subscribe to you. Up and down this roster.

1176
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: We go to Ryan in Lackawana, Ryan, what do you

1177
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 1: have for us? You're on One Bill's Live. Hey guys,

1178
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 1: good afternoon, Good afternoon. I just wanted to say, just

1179
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 1: to start, I was actually born two days before the

1180
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 1: Bills lost the Titans in the ninety nine two thousand season. Okay, yeah,

1181
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: a joke. Yeah, it's been a joke ever since I

1182
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 1: was born that I was the curse. And oh wow,

1183
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 1: that's a tough thing to live with. My God, that's terrible.

1184
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 1: I gotta I survived the playoff droughte t shirt out

1185
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:45,520
Speaker 1: of it once we made it out, So okay, so

1186
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:49,320
Speaker 1: all is forgiven. Well that's good. But the one thing

1187
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to preach was, like, ever since, I mean

1188
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 1: as far back as I can remember, the thing that

1189
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 1: the team has preached to us is culture. And I

1190
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 1: feel like out of this year, that's a really important thing,

1191
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 1: and especially with the pandemic, like Steve Tasker's video that

1192
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 1: makes every fan want to run through you know, the

1193
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 1: tables and drywall. But as Bill's player, how do you

1194
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 1: look at this city and look at how much of

1195
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 1: an impact it makes? Like, if you win, Monday mornings

1196
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:14,960
Speaker 1: and Buffalo are insane. But if the Bill lose, you

1197
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 1: get this same feeling of just everybody's kind of down

1198
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 1: on Monday morning. And how do you, as like a player,

1199
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 1: not want to run through a defensive line or if

1200
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 1: you're Jerry Hughes, pick up the ball and put points

1201
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 1: from the board through an offense too. Yeah. No, I

1202
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:30,840
Speaker 1: agree with you, Brian, And like Steve and I were

1203
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:36,240
Speaker 1: just talking about, you know, it's been effectively cultivated here

1204
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 1: where now it just kind of happens and the new

1205
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 1: guys that walk in the door just kind of fall

1206
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 1: in line because the balance of the roster that has

1207
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 1: been here and subscribe to it and live it every day.

1208
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 1: They're the walking, talking examples of what Sean McDermott wants

1209
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 1: in his football team. So if you're a new guy

1210
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 1: coming to this roster, you look around and pretty quickly

1211
01:06:57,320 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 1: you realize, even in a pandemic offseason where there's not

1212
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 1: a lot of visual evidence, once they got here for

1213
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:05,880
Speaker 1: training camp, it's like, oh, this is how we do

1214
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 1: stuff here. Okay, this is different. All right, Well they win,

1215
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 1: so I better jump on board here. I'm gonna get

1216
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 1: left behind and I'm not going to be the best

1217
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 1: version of myself and I'm not gonna get on the

1218
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: field right. And as you get as it gets more

1219
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 1: indoctrinated and baked into everything you do as a culture.

1220
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 1: Part of what makes the culture effective, particularly in this

1221
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 1: day and age in the NFL. You think about it.

1222
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 1: You got Mario Addison, Vernon Butler, Quentin Jefferson, You've got

1223
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 1: aj Epeneza, You've got you know, Josh Norman, Gabriel, Davis,

1224
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 1: Sack Moss, Tyler Bass, all these guys that are brand

1225
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 1: new Jake Krumero. They come walking to the door and

1226
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 1: there they got to contribute, They got to be part

1227
01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 1: of it. So part of the culture becomes embracing them

1228
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 1: and making them feel comfortable early, quick fast. You talk

1229
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,440
Speaker 1: about Steph Diggs, that that article he wrote about what

1230
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 1: was important to him, and some of the interviews you've

1231
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 1: heard him doing about how fast and how much work

1232
01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 1: they put on becoming friends before they actually even took

1233
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 1: the field together, and that laid a baseline of trust.

1234
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 1: And it's clear to me the most important thing to

1235
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs is trust. He wants to be able to

1236
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 1: trust this organization. He wants his teammates to be able

1237
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 1: to trust him, whether it's on the field or off.

1238
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 1: It means I mean that's number one for him. Yeah, yeah,

1239
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 1: it is. And it's why they've got him playing at

1240
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 1: his best right now because he trusts everybody around him

1241
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 1: in this organization right and they trust him. And that

1242
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:42,320
Speaker 1: that was part of Marv Levy helped with that at

1243
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:44,640
Speaker 1: our team. He said, listen, we're not you know, I

1244
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 1: don't want any of these rookie shows or hazing or

1245
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:49,680
Speaker 1: any of that stuff. These we need these guys make

1246
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 1: him part of the family. And we didn't do it

1247
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 1: by hazing him or making life hard on him. We

1248
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 1: did it by finding out who they were and letting

1249
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 1: him in and see who we were. Yeah. So it's

1250
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:04,720
Speaker 1: it's important, and in the league that changes so much

1251
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 1: year to year, the coaches and the cultures that can

1252
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 1: maximize that and speed up the process are the ones

1253
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 1: that are more successful. Quicker, back to the phones, we

1254
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 1: go to Linda in Rochester. Linda, what do you have

1255
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 1: for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Hello, gentlemen. First,

1256
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 1: I gotta say it is a travesty that Steep Tasker

1257
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 1: is not in the Hall of Fame. What is wrong

1258
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 1: with those people? Well, we'll see if they We'll see

1259
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 1: if you can get further this time, right, I hope, So,

1260
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:34,800
Speaker 1: I hope. So? So what do I like about this

1261
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:38,040
Speaker 1: built team? Much like you've been saying, there are no

1262
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 1: egos on this team. Nobody's saying, well, it's Beca's me,

1263
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 1: you know, as because I threw three hundred yards as winning,

1264
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 1: Well says me, you know, I caught the pall. There

1265
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: are no egos on this team, and it's it's so

1266
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 1: refreshing and it really is a credit to how Sean

1267
01:09:57,160 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 1: McDermott and Brandon being have built this team is like

1268
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,439
Speaker 1: you guys have been saying, it's this is why we

1269
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:05,000
Speaker 1: do think. You know, we're we're not gonna like go

1270
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 1: out and party and get ourselves arrested or anything. We're

1271
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:11,519
Speaker 1: going to, you know, concentrate on the important stuff. We're

1272
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:13,719
Speaker 1: just being there for each other and then being better.

1273
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 1: So I think that's what impresses me about the builds

1274
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:22,439
Speaker 1: team for this year and Go Bills. I'm I'm just

1275
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm just so happy. I'm just so happy. Yeah. Yeah,

1276
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:30,320
Speaker 1: thank you McCall andy, You're not alone. Yeah. And I

1277
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 1: think that no egos again is a reflection of the

1278
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:35,760
Speaker 1: head coach. I don't know if you could find a

1279
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:39,120
Speaker 1: more selfless person. I mean, everybody's trying to heat praise

1280
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 1: on coach McDermott in his postgame press conference after the

1281
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 1: victory on Saturday, and he's he's more concerned with ticking

1282
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 1: off a list of all the people he's got to

1283
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 1: thank for helping him get this team to a division title.

1284
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 1: He's not. He's very rarely saying the word I at

1285
01:10:57,120 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 1: the beginning of a sentence. Uh, it's often heaping raise

1286
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 1: on those around him, and Brandon Bean is very often

1287
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:08,280
Speaker 1: the same way, giving credit to his personnel department, people

1288
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,880
Speaker 1: at the college end, the pro level. They're both very

1289
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 1: self effacing men. So I think that trickles down. It

1290
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:19,400
Speaker 1: trickles down. A leader acts this way, the people that

1291
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:21,400
Speaker 1: follow them act in much the same way. They just

1292
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:25,400
Speaker 1: kind of fall in line and act accordingly. Quite frankly. Right,

1293
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:28,680
Speaker 1: Let's get one more in here before the break. We

1294
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 1: have to go to Jeffrey, who is up in Maine

1295
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 1: vacation land. Jeffrey, what do you have for us? Yaron

1296
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:38,320
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live. Hey, I'm alcohot tub enjoying your show.

1297
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:44,479
Speaker 1: I love it, Hey, And and really that the thing

1298
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:47,960
Speaker 1: Steve did that just made me want to place Snobbert

1299
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 1: and locker football. Just go out and hit somebody and

1300
01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:55,760
Speaker 1: enjoy it. One thing I'd like people to do is

1301
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:59,439
Speaker 1: watch the game over and just watch the line play

1302
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 1: to see how everybody picked up their blocks. There was

1303
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:05,599
Speaker 1: man on man, or they were a double team in helping.

1304
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:09,720
Speaker 1: It just was a it was almost like a ballerino

1305
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:13,600
Speaker 1: watching watching everybody do what they were supposed to do.

1306
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 1: Really really impressed with that. The other thing I got

1307
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:19,880
Speaker 1: is I gotta know what what type of jersey should

1308
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 1: I take. I gotta go to Data Fiber in the morning,

1309
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 1: get some cancer stuff done, and I'm gonna be right

1310
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:30,719
Speaker 1: in the bowels or the Patriots Country. Yeah, Homer Away.

1311
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 1: You can ride, you can you can wear a road gear.

1312
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 1: You're if you're in Patriot Country road road Jersey, and

1313
01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 1: wear it proudly because I got cousins up there in Cumberland,

1314
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:45,080
Speaker 1: and they're all Patriots fans and it's about time they

1315
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:47,479
Speaker 1: see some a different version of red, white and blue

1316
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 1: up there. Yeah. Well, I'm probably gonna be on the

1317
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:54,960
Speaker 1: local station. I'm Buffalo Jeff around here this week. This

1318
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 1: week I always have entertained my bets for chicken wings,

1319
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,200
Speaker 1: and uh you know, when I lose, I have to

1320
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 1: go onto the station and and make them for them.

1321
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 1: I think this week I'm gonna win some chicken weights. Yeah.

1322
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:10,840
Speaker 1: I feel good about that too. All right, Joe, good

1323
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 1: luck Jeff and your treatment. We hope everything goes well.

1324
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 1: Uh oh yeah, thanks for carrying the banner and being

1325
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Jeff in an in an unholy land. That's right.

1326
01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:24,160
Speaker 1: They care have a good Christmas. Uh yeah, yeah, I

1327
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:28,240
Speaker 1: got cousins up in Maine and they've been, uh, they've

1328
01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 1: been hitting me hard in the last fifteen twenty years,

1329
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:33,880
Speaker 1: So I get it turn about his fair play. So

1330
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 1: I'm hoping for most of my season sweep Monday Night.

1331
01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 1: Most of my relations are all you know, they're all

1332
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 1: Bills fans because they know they like my Nate. Niece

1333
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 1: and nephews, grew up with me playing a little bit

1334
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:47,240
Speaker 1: than they knew. And plus we do have a couple

1335
01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 1: of family members, extended family members that are big their

1336
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 1: Broncos season ticket holders. And in fact, when I'm doing

1337
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:56,639
Speaker 1: a sideline game for a Bronch for a radio game,

1338
01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:58,240
Speaker 1: or when I was working for CBS, when I'd be

1339
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:01,200
Speaker 1: walking around, they would they're literally behind the Broncos bench

1340
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:03,519
Speaker 1: two rows, So that's how old their season tickets. I

1341
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 1: can kind of go along with that. But I do

1342
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:14,640
Speaker 1: know this. My nephew lives in Atlanta, and he is

1343
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 1: He flies the flag, wears a Buffalo Bill's face mask,

1344
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,439
Speaker 1: and the whole he's way decked out. In fact, I've

1345
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:25,559
Speaker 1: got I gave him my touchdown football from the Don

1346
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:28,360
Speaker 1: Shula's last game in the last the last playoff game

1347
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 1: that the Bills won here in Buffalo. He's got my

1348
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: touchdown pass from that night. So he's in his house

1349
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 1: last week. Get you know, he's geared up and the

1350
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 1: doorbell rings. It's a police so he put he's uh,

1351
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:44,320

01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 1: got a Bill's mask and he's got the bills flag

1353
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:51,040
Speaker 1: in the yard. The policeman's at the door with a

1354
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:54,559
Speaker 1: ub mask on. No way. He says, listen, I'm your

01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:58,000
Speaker 1: new I'm your new neighborhood police officer. This is my beat.

1356
01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:00,040
Speaker 1: He goes and he says, I see your bills, and

1357
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:02,240
Speaker 1: he goes, If you ever have any problems, you call me.

1358
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:10,479
Speaker 1: My nephews like go Bills. So that's awesome. It's everywhere,

1359
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:14,800
Speaker 1: So that's outstanding. I'm glad you shared that. All right,

1360
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:18,280
Speaker 1: break time for us. When we return, it is time

1361
01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:21,760
Speaker 1: for what we do every Monday. After Bill's victories. We

1362
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 1: got to bring in colleague Maddie Glab for the Maddie Awards.

1363
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:27,600
Speaker 1: Those are coming up next when we return here on

1364
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:30,639
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1365
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:45,719
Speaker 1: Welcome back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker,

1366
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 1: it is that time in the show Every Bill's Victory

1367
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:57,680
Speaker 1: Monday for the Maddie Awards. That's right, One Bill's Live

1368
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:01,439
Speaker 1: presents the Maddie Awards with our own multimedia reporter Maddy

1369
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:05,639
Speaker 1: glab here to do the honors as always and Maddie,

1370
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:10,759
Speaker 1: this game was kind of the summation of a pretty

1371
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:15,240
Speaker 1: all encompassing season of certainly a ton more good than bad,

1372
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 1: so plenty to celebrate here this week. And I have

1373
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:21,800
Speaker 1: to say I thought of the Maddie Awards when I

1374
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:25,120
Speaker 1: saw the statue of liberty play get called back on penalty,

1375
01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 1: because if that play stood and it didn't show up

1376
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:30,880
Speaker 1: on the Maddie Awards, I was going to be supremely disappointed.

1377
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:32,360
Speaker 1: But it kind of went off the board when it

1378
01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:37,599
Speaker 1: got called back on penalty. I wish that play would

1379
01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:40,400
Speaker 1: have stood, because you already know it would have been

1380
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 1: on there. I was on my feet watching that play,

1381
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 1: about to scream, but then we saw that it got

1382
01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 1: called black and I was like, no, one, dang it.

1383
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:52,680
Speaker 1: But we're going to see more of those in the playoffs.

1384
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 1: I feel like this is just the beginning of these

1385
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,960
Speaker 1: plays that are coming out of Brian day Ball's bag

1386
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:02,080
Speaker 1: of tricks for the playoffs, So it was fun to

1387
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:05,000
Speaker 1: see one that possibly could have been a touchdown in

1388
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:07,680
Speaker 1: this fast week's game. But I'm sure there's many more

1389
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:10,880
Speaker 1: to come. Yeah, we should remind everybody. Maddy Awards brought

1390
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 1: to you by Energy Mark, the official energy supplier of

1391
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. So why don't you lead us off,

1392
01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 1: Maddie with this week's MVP. Yeah, so this makes MVP

1393
01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:27,120
Speaker 1: just overall offensive defensive. I'm given the MVP, and it's

1394
01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 1: it's a story that you already wrote about Brownie that

1395
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:33,760
Speaker 1: got released this morning. It's the process. I'm given the

1396
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 1: MVP to the process, the culture that we have going

1397
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:41,519
Speaker 1: on here in Buffalo under Sean McDermott, under Brandon Bean.

1398
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:44,639
Speaker 1: I mean, stat came out this morning that the Bills

1399
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: have increased their points per game total by nine and

1400
01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:50,639
Speaker 1: a half points since last season, which leads the NFL.

1401
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:54,280
Speaker 1: Think about last season when when they were averaging nineteen

1402
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 1: point six points a game, now they're up to twenty

1403
01:17:57,479 --> 01:18:01,120
Speaker 1: nine point one points per game. If somebody would have

1404
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:03,799
Speaker 1: told me that this team would have been scoring almost

1405
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:06,679
Speaker 1: thirty points a game, I don't know if I would

1406
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:10,280
Speaker 1: believe them, actually, But just to see what Sean and

1407
01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 1: Brandon have been able to do here in their fourth season,

1408
01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:16,719
Speaker 1: the sustainable success that is here to stay in Buffalo.

1409
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:20,840
Speaker 1: How they've been able to draft, develop, and resign and

1410
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 1: prove that that's something that helps a franchise. And we're

1411
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:28,599
Speaker 1: already seeing it happen with some of Sean's first guys

1412
01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 1: that he drafted getting resigned and players like Dion and Tredevious,

1413
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:35,479
Speaker 1: and just the character of the locker room, the character

1414
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:38,880
Speaker 1: of the coaching staff, the character of Brandon and Sean

1415
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:41,599
Speaker 1: making the playoffs now in three out of their first

1416
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 1: four seasons, and just the willingness of the players to

1417
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 1: trust the process. That is something that is really not

1418
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: easy to do, especially through a first couple of seasons

1419
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:56,360
Speaker 1: of you know, some heartache, not making it farther into

1420
01:18:56,439 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs, just skimming by on the coattails of another

1421
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 1: team losing for you to be able to get in

1422
01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:05,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So big up to the players, Big ups

1423
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:09,360
Speaker 1: to this coaching staff for being able to make this happen.

1424
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:12,720
Speaker 1: AFC East Champions here in their fourth season. Yeah, we

1425
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:14,759
Speaker 1: were We've been talking about the culture, what a difference

1426
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:16,640
Speaker 1: it makes. It's you know, It's easy to see. The

1427
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:19,720
Speaker 1: team is a close knit group and they they enjoy

1428
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:25,719
Speaker 1: playing together. Who the next Mattie Award is the offensive MVP?

1429
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 1: All Right, offensive MVP. I'm sure you all have touched

1430
01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:35,560
Speaker 1: on his performance today already, but just Josh Allen continuing

1431
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 1: what he's done this season, every game, it seems just

1432
01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:43,960
Speaker 1: his consistency has been so amazing to watch this season.

1433
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:46,560
Speaker 1: I think it's really come on strong here in the

1434
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:49,680
Speaker 1: second half of the season, just proving that he's a

1435
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:53,560
Speaker 1: real quarterback. He's a very talented quarterback. And it's not

1436
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 1: up and down anymore. It's not game to game question

1437
01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:58,320
Speaker 1: mark of if Josh Allen is going to show up.

1438
01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has showed up every single game this season.

1439
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 1: He passes the four thousand yard mark in the game

1440
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:06,920
Speaker 1: against the Broncos, the second most in team history in

1441
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 1: a single season. He has four total touchdowns. We haven't

1442
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:12,560
Speaker 1: seen him rushing for two touchdowns in a while, so

1443
01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:14,679
Speaker 1: it was fun to see him do that. He completes

1444
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:18,000
Speaker 1: seventy percent of his passes, his seventh three hundred yard game,

1445
01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:20,679
Speaker 1: his seventh game of a passer rating over one hundred.

1446
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 1: Both of those happening this season. So this guy continues

1447
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:27,679
Speaker 1: to tie and break records, as we have talked about

1448
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:32,760
Speaker 1: almost every single week during broadcasts after games, in pregame

1449
01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:36,439
Speaker 1: shows on one Bills Live, nothing that he does like.

1450
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 1: I think it was Micah Hyde who said it, he

1451
01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:41,840
Speaker 1: doesn't amaze me anymore, or it was Cole Beasley. In

1452
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:45,320
Speaker 1: the postgame press conference, someone asks, are you surprised by

1453
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:47,800
Speaker 1: what Josh Allen did tonight? He said, nope, you know,

1454
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:51,000
Speaker 1: nothing amazes me anymore because I just know Josh Allen

1455
01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:53,400
Speaker 1: can do all of this and perform like he's been performing.

1456
01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:55,519
Speaker 1: All right, let's flip it over to the other side,

1457
01:20:55,640 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 1: defensive MVP. This goes to my guy, Jerry Hughes. That

1458
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:06,560
Speaker 1: scoop and score touchdown was so fun to watch. I

1459
01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:08,479
Speaker 1: think of a lot of us as we were watching it,

1460
01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 1: We're saying, go down, go down, go down. But Jerry

1461
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:15,800
Speaker 1: Hughes channeled his inner running back there and was able

1462
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:18,680
Speaker 1: to run it into the end zone and able to

1463
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:22,120
Speaker 1: house it, and so fitting for someone like him to

1464
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 1: score in that game, to score in the game in

1465
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:29,120
Speaker 1: which they were crowned AFC East champions. Jerry Hughes has

1466
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:33,080
Speaker 1: been on this team since twenty thirteen. I look at

1467
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:35,960
Speaker 1: someone like him as the anchor of this team and

1468
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:39,840
Speaker 1: for this defense. His leadership qualities that he's been able

1469
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 1: to possess this season speaks a lot of just what

1470
01:21:43,400 --> 01:21:45,720
Speaker 1: he's been through on this team, the coaching staffs that

1471
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:49,200
Speaker 1: he's been through, and finally to see some success here

1472
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:52,439
Speaker 1: now since being on the team since twenty thirteen. So

1473
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:55,160
Speaker 1: happy for him and so cool to see him get

1474
01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 1: a defensive touchdown in that game. Yeah, no question about it.

1475
01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:00,560
Speaker 1: It was a great fun a lot of fun to

1476
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:04,200
Speaker 1: watch that play take place. And another guy that I

1477
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:07,639
Speaker 1: also had a hand in that play is also gets

1478
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:12,920
Speaker 1: your Hustle Award, right. It wouldn't have been for Jerry

1479
01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:17,400
Speaker 1: Hughes's scoop and score if it wasn't for Tredavious White

1480
01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:19,800
Speaker 1: with that strip sack of Drew Lock which led to

1481
01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:24,000
Speaker 1: the touchdown. And Tredavius tweeted out after the game he said,

1482
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:28,360
Speaker 1: just call me Bruce Smith junior now and Tredavious White

1483
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:31,720
Speaker 1: just comes up in big time moments. It seems like

1484
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:34,680
Speaker 1: he's always arrived in the second half of games. This

1485
01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:37,880
Speaker 1: happened in the third quarter when he's able to strip

1486
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:41,440
Speaker 1: sack Drew Lock and help Jerry Hughes with that touchdown.

1487
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:44,400
Speaker 1: He shows up when the defense needs him, when the

1488
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 1: team needs him. So good on Trey White. I loved himself,

1489
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:52,640
Speaker 1: crowning himself. Bruce Smith Junior. All right, so this is

1490
01:22:52,680 --> 01:22:54,200
Speaker 1: a unique one. I don't know if we've seen this

1491
01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:57,559
Speaker 1: one before. You got one shot, Award? Who gets that one?

1492
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:02,360
Speaker 1: All right? This is going to Jake Kumero. You've got

1493
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:04,799
Speaker 1: one shot. This guy has played in a few games

1494
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:07,240
Speaker 1: for the Bills this season, in his first season, but

1495
01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:11,320
Speaker 1: he hasn't caught a pass yet. He has one pass,

1496
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:15,200
Speaker 1: one cop pass on his stats this season, and that

1497
01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:19,040
Speaker 1: one catch is for a touchdown. He scored a touchdown

1498
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 1: in the Broncos game and some people may have been thinking, wait,

1499
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:26,040
Speaker 1: what name did they just say scored the touchdown for

1500
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 1: the Bills. Who is this guy? Well, he's on the Bills.

1501
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:33,719
Speaker 1: He is the thirteenth player to catch a touchdown reception

1502
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 1: this season. It ties an NFL record. He's a Wisconsin

1503
01:23:38,120 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 1: Whitewater grad comes out of D three football and he's

1504
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:44,080
Speaker 1: been able to make it into the NFL, playing on

1505
01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:46,800
Speaker 1: the Packers of previous two seasons and has been on

1506
01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:49,040
Speaker 1: the Bills now for a few months. So good to

1507
01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:51,800
Speaker 1: see him get involved in the game, get involved in

1508
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:54,799
Speaker 1: a touchdown, and always fun to see his teammates celebrate

1509
01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:57,040
Speaker 1: with him. He's gonna be challenging Cole Beasley for the

1510
01:23:57,120 --> 01:23:58,920
Speaker 1: best spinach out of the back of the helmet with

1511
01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:01,680
Speaker 1: all that here, man, Yeah they got that. I like it. Yeah,

1512
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:03,360
Speaker 1: it looks great coming out of the back. I love

1513
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 1: the way that looks like. And he's also like one

1514
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 1: of those six four two fifteen guys, so he's a

1515
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:09,000
Speaker 1: different kind of guy. So it's good to see now

1516
01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:11,920
Speaker 1: going around the league with some of the at large

1517
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:14,639
Speaker 1: Mattie Awards. We've got one for the Spring Chicken Award.

1518
01:24:14,720 --> 01:24:19,599
Speaker 1: Former Buffalo Bill wins this one, all right, Spring Chicken Award.

1519
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:23,639
Speaker 1: How about Frank Gore continuing to make plays. Doesn't matter

1520
01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:25,960
Speaker 1: what team he's on, He's going to find a way

1521
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:30,200
Speaker 1: to help teams. The Jets beat the Rams yesterday, Guys.

1522
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:33,600
Speaker 1: I think the Jets were a seventeen point underdog and

1523
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:36,720
Speaker 1: they beat the Rams twenty three to twenty. Frank Gore

1524
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 1: was a part of that when he scored on a

1525
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 1: fourth and goal on an eleven play drive in the

1526
01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:44,920
Speaker 1: third quarter. That put the Jets up twenty to three.

1527
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:47,920
Speaker 1: Gore had twenty three carries for fifty nine yards in

1528
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 1: that game, that one touchdown. It's his sixteenth season, he's

1529
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:54,600
Speaker 1: thirty seven years old, but here he is continuing to

1530
01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:57,280
Speaker 1: make plays like a spring chicken. Yeah, that was his

1531
01:24:57,400 --> 01:25:00,280
Speaker 1: hundred's career touchdown as well. We're short on time, Addie,

1532
01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:01,720
Speaker 1: so I want to skip to the end because we'd

1533
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 1: be remiss if we did not go to the end.

1534
01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:09,720
Speaker 1: The Oscar goes to award and the Oscar goes to

1535
01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 1: my friend Steve Tasker for that Oscar worthy performance in

1536
01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 1: that video. Steve, I mean, I think you found your

1537
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 1: second career. Yeah, just just leave one bills live and

1538
01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:25,160
Speaker 1: go go to LA. You can make it based on

1539
01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:28,360
Speaker 1: that video, the end, the way that you ended that video.

1540
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:34,519
Speaker 1: Coming to Buffalo and January, it might be chilly that wink. Yeah,

1541
01:25:34,560 --> 01:25:37,479
Speaker 1: Oscar Worthy. I'd like to thank you Academy, Forward and

1542

1546
01:25:49,240 --> 01:25:51,960
Speaker 1: gave Maddie a sneak preview of it, like before the game. Yes,

1547
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:54,599
Speaker 1: on Saturday, I gave you a sneak preview. You loved it, right,

1548
01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:59,599
Speaker 1: Yes you did. And I walk into Ward crying because

1549
01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:02,439
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker has shown me that video before the game.

1550
01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:05,160
Speaker 1: I've got tears streaming down my face. I seem to

1551
01:26:05,240 --> 01:26:08,200
Speaker 1: cry around Steve Tasker a lot more than anybody out. Wow.

1552
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:09,880
Speaker 1: I think it's my breath, but I'm not. I don't

1553
01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 1: know well, and it doesn't It doesn't take It doesn't

1554
01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:15,160
Speaker 1: take much to choke Steve up either. He's a little

1555
01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:17,639
Speaker 1: bit of a softy too. Say you guys are crying

1556
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:21,040
Speaker 1: a good beer commercial. Yeah, your kinship in that regard.

1557
01:26:21,160 --> 01:26:24,040
Speaker 1: So two p's in a pot, all right, Thanks Mattie,

Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bills Live.

1568
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:05,840
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker. Want to get right back to

1569
01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:08,120
Speaker 1: the phones as we are asking you what's your favorite

1570
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:12,560
Speaker 1: part of this Bills team this season? Plenty of choices there, obviously,

1571
01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:14,800
Speaker 1: but let's get back to the phones. In eight oh three,

1572
01:27:15,040 --> 01:27:17,120
Speaker 1: five fifty, we go to John and Buffalo to lead

1573
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:18,559
Speaker 1: us off. John, what do you have for us? You're

1574
01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:24,519
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live. John. Hello, Happy holidays. First of all, yeah,

1575
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:29,120
Speaker 1: do you guys? You bet? And when I was about fifteen,

1576
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:33,080
Speaker 1: I was actually rooting to get a franchise, rooting for

1577
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:36,760
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns and hoping someday we got a franchise

1578
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:41,679
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo. And in a few years later Ralph

1579
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:45,160
Speaker 1: Wilson brought to an AFL club here. But that same

1580
01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:50,479
Speaker 1: year I went to Laramie, Wyoming. You know who plays

1581
01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 1: in Laramie, That's right. Well, the other thing I was

1582
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:56,080
Speaker 1: thinking about, Steve, you probably remember the last two years

1583
01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:59,200
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowls and hearing a certain coach say

1584
01:27:59,680 --> 01:28:02,720
Speaker 1: how about them Cowboys? Well, now it's our turn to

1585
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:06,000
Speaker 1: say how about our cowboys? Yeah? Right, there you go

1586
01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:09,599
Speaker 1: in a lot of great combos. That's great. Yeah, you're right,

1587
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:15,639
Speaker 1: he's this Cowboys turned out to be pretty good. Yeah,

1588
01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:20,880
Speaker 1: And so what is what what is the best part

1589
01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:24,360
Speaker 1: of this team though? For you? Well, it's the different

1590
01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:27,560
Speaker 1: combinations and how they get together. And I you know,

1591
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:30,519
Speaker 1: the one that I liked a lot. I like Alan

1592
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:34,360
Speaker 1: to Beasley. They started a couple, they started a couple

1593
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:36,400
Speaker 1: of years ago, and then they brought in more people.

1594
01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:40,040
Speaker 1: But that's a that's one of many great combinations. And

1595
01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 1: I really like to see they had a lot of them.

1596
01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:46,439
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, thanks John. We appreciate the phone call. Um,

1597
01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:48,800
Speaker 1: we'll move along. We'll get to a couple more people here,

1598
01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:52,280
Speaker 1: and we've got Tony in Vegas. Been waiting a while, Tony,

1604
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:13,000

1606
01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:20,439
Speaker 1: ran my Bills stuff probably and everybody recognizes. I'll walk

1607
01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:23,160
Speaker 1: into the casino on Sunday morning and everybody turned around

1608
01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:25,000
Speaker 1: and looked at the guy with the Buffalo Bills and

1609
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:27,880
Speaker 1: they all gave me get thumbs up. It makes me

1610
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:30,960
Speaker 1: feel great because now we're starting to get the recognition

1611
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:34,200
Speaker 1: we should have had a long time ago. Yeah, it's

1612
01:29:34,240 --> 01:29:36,960
Speaker 1: a great feeling to be a Buffalo Bills fan. Nothing better.

1613
01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:40,840
Speaker 1: And I gotta say one thing. I'll tell you where

1614
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:45,439
Speaker 1: Bills fans are. I was watching an old episode of E. R.

1615
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:49,439
Speaker 1: And Doctor Green was even cereal, and when they panned

1616
01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:52,240
Speaker 1: across the table, there was a box of fluty flakes

1617
01:29:52,280 --> 01:29:55,479
Speaker 1: on the table. Right, it was amazing. I just said,

1618
01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:59,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that it was amazing. But a matter

1619
01:29:59,120 --> 01:30:02,080
Speaker 1: of fact, I am moving back to Nagra Falls who

1620
01:30:02,240 --> 01:30:04,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. All right, there you go.

1621
01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:06,840
Speaker 1: That's how much I love my Bills. I've been a

1622
01:30:06,880 --> 01:30:09,240
Speaker 1: Bills fanc in sixty nine. I'm moving back to nagrapall

1627
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:23,280
Speaker 1: Bills fans. At the video of them getting off the plane,

1628
01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:26,680
Speaker 1: I just got choked up. Yeah, you know, you're right,

1629
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:29,280
Speaker 1: You're right, it is the atmosphere is is different here

1630
01:30:29,320 --> 01:30:32,360
Speaker 1: in Buffalo than it is anywhere else, no question. I

1631
01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:36,120
Speaker 1: walked into a bank two days and three days ago

Speaker 1: and all I cut the ass every week first down.

1655
01:32:02,360 --> 01:32:04,920
Speaker 1: I didn't understand if they threw for ten and got

1656
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:08,280
Speaker 1: a first down that they'd start over again because and

1657
01:32:08,360 --> 01:32:10,320
Speaker 1: I'd say, well, what happened to the second down? So

1658

1689
01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:56,800
Speaker 1: at a couple of things. What I identify with this team,

1690
01:33:57,080 --> 01:33:59,560
Speaker 1: and I always have. I'm sixty one, I've been a

1691
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:02,320
Speaker 1: Bill sit a long time back, started back in sixty

1692
01:34:02,439 --> 01:34:04,280
Speaker 1: nine when I got OJ when I was a little kid.

1693
01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:07,360
Speaker 1: But the one thing that strikes you about this team

1694
01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:12,599
Speaker 1: and when you played, Steve is is the camaraderie. Okay,

1695
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:15,960
Speaker 1: being a family, and when you're playing with your family

1696
01:34:16,120 --> 01:34:19,040
Speaker 1: like that, I just think that you got each other's back.

1697
01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:23,920
Speaker 1: It's it's just it's deep, the connections deep, the unselfishness.

1698
01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:26,120
Speaker 1: And I have to Steve, I have to compliment you

1699
01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:29,320
Speaker 1: on something and how you inspired me. I'm about your

1700
01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:32,240
Speaker 1: height weight, I'm just a couple of years older than you.

1701
01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:35,160
Speaker 1: I played street football. I had to work to help

1702
01:34:35,200 --> 01:34:36,880
Speaker 1: put food on the table for my family, but I

1703
01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:39,960
Speaker 1: played street football and then play in high school. But

1704
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:42,800
Speaker 1: I played like you. I play all positions, pretty much,

1705
01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:44,920
Speaker 1: and then I got sat in out of shape in

1706
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:48,960
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighty nine. This January will be thirty two

1707
01:34:49,040 --> 01:34:50,760
Speaker 1: years straight that I have not missed a week of

1708
01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:53,400
Speaker 1: working out. Oh very nice, Chi, Before I told you,

1709
01:34:53,479 --> 01:34:56,360
Speaker 1: I do the high value pushups. I do like a

1710
01:34:56,479 --> 01:34:58,120
Speaker 1: thousand push up in a half an hour. I do

1711
01:34:58,200 --> 01:34:59,600
Speaker 1: that a couple of days a week, along with the

1712
01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:02,479
Speaker 1: weights I had at that adase to go. But but

1713
01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:04,920
Speaker 1: but what I'm saying, though, Steve, is how you impact

1714
01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:07,920
Speaker 1: people's lives. And when you're a brother, when you're family,

1715
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:11,240
Speaker 1: you want to help others. So I use what God's

1716
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:13,439
Speaker 1: given me a gift with being able to be consistent

1717
01:35:13,600 --> 01:35:16,320
Speaker 1: with that and inspire others and help others and teach

1718
01:35:16,360 --> 01:35:18,680
Speaker 1: them how to eat right and work out. And and

1719
01:35:18,840 --> 01:35:21,280
Speaker 1: also I've got a food ministry. Friday night, I go

1720
01:35:21,360 --> 01:35:23,320
Speaker 1: to one of the grocery stores here, I pick up

1721
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:25,080
Speaker 1: all the bakery that was made that day and I

1722
01:35:25,160 --> 01:35:27,640
Speaker 1: give it to the meeting. But again it's it's you know,

1723
01:35:27,920 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 1: men of faith like you, Steve, and others that are

1724
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:34,280
Speaker 1: that are part of the organization. It inspires us people

1725
01:35:34,320 --> 01:35:37,000
Speaker 1: of faith to just want to help others and spread

1726
01:35:37,040 --> 01:35:40,639
Speaker 1: out that whole family love and you know, you motivate

1727
01:35:40,800 --> 01:35:42,280
Speaker 1: and I think that's the same with a lot of

1728
01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:46,040
Speaker 1: the guys now coming up, how they motivate others too. Yeah,

1729
01:35:46,160 --> 01:35:48,599
Speaker 1: well that's a nice call. I appreciate it, and UM, yeah,

1730
01:35:48,680 --> 01:35:50,120
Speaker 1: you're right. It is that time of year when we

1731
01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:52,320
Speaker 1: can't think more about it, but it'd be better to

1732
01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:54,559
Speaker 1: live that way. And I congratulate. That's that's a tough

1733
01:35:54,680 --> 01:35:58,400
Speaker 1: record every week from nineteen eighty nine, because I got

1734
01:35:58,439 --> 01:36:00,720
Speaker 1: to about ninety seven when I reach hired. That was

1735
01:36:00,800 --> 01:36:03,519
Speaker 1: my life. That was they have the anniverse. This is

1736
01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:06,280
Speaker 1: the anniversary or your last game in the in ninety seven.

1737
01:36:06,320 --> 01:36:08,439
Speaker 1: I think it is today. I think it's today really,

1738
01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:12,360
Speaker 1: which ended abruptly right, I was there. I mentioned it

1739
01:36:12,439 --> 01:36:14,920
Speaker 1: in the broadcast this last week. When the Bills were

1740
01:36:14,960 --> 01:36:18,240
Speaker 1: getting all these touchdowns called back, I started going in

1741
01:36:18,360 --> 01:36:20,120
Speaker 1: on the officials, just like the old days. I mean,

1742
01:36:20,200 --> 01:36:21,920
Speaker 1: I was all over. I was like, that's horrible, this

1743
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:23,360
Speaker 1: is a bad call. That's about what are they doing

1744
01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:25,240
Speaker 1: this that I was finally I got and I hope

1745
01:36:25,280 --> 01:36:29,040
Speaker 1: nobody cared because I I thought to myself, I gotta

1746
01:36:29,040 --> 01:36:30,560
Speaker 1: be quiet because this is kind of it's kind of

1747
01:36:30,560 --> 01:36:33,000
Speaker 1: getting annoying for me now saying all this stuff right,

1748
01:36:33,240 --> 01:36:35,639
Speaker 1: And I told her from the broadcast, this is exact

1749
01:36:36,080 --> 01:36:38,479
Speaker 1: exactly the reason I got tossed out of my last game.

1750
01:36:38,800 --> 01:36:41,400
Speaker 1: I had trouble letting it go, so I got it.

1751
01:36:42,360 --> 01:36:45,160
Speaker 1: So I referenced, you know, it's today, was today? I

1752
01:36:45,240 --> 01:36:49,800
Speaker 1: think today is the anniversary. Yeah. Yeah. By the way,

1753
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:53,400
Speaker 1: twenty first, nineteen ninety seven. Congratulations Western York. Because it's

1754
01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:56,040
Speaker 1: gonna start getting lighter every day. It's today darker. Get

1755
01:36:56,040 --> 01:36:59,080
Speaker 1: about three extra minutes of light every day. We're on

1756
01:36:59,160 --> 01:37:01,439
Speaker 1: the upswing everybody. It's right break time for us, though,

1757
01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:04,439
Speaker 1: because when we return, we will have a former Bill

1758
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:07,840
Speaker 1: who was referenced by a head coach Sean McDermott as

1759
01:37:07,920 --> 01:37:09,800
Speaker 1: part of one of the building blocks for where this

1760
01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:13,040
Speaker 1: team is now. It's one Eric Wood joining us when

1761
01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:15,720
Speaker 1: we return. Here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health,

1762
01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:32,960
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Amy Fairburn ready to go. After

1763
01:37:33,040 --> 01:37:35,559
Speaker 1: the timeout, it is a twenty eight yarder for the winner.

1764
01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:37,280
Speaker 1: The kick is on the way, it is up. It

1765
01:37:37,439 --> 01:37:40,479
Speaker 1: is good. And the Houston Texans knocked the Bills out

1766
01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:44,200
Speaker 1: of the playoffs and the Bills season trust me, I

1767
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:46,880
Speaker 1: get it. There's a lot of pain in going home

1768
01:37:46,960 --> 01:37:49,719
Speaker 1: and be handed Hi. I won't be over this until

1769
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:53,320
Speaker 1: we start playing again. But the kind of pain that

1770
01:37:53,520 --> 01:37:56,680
Speaker 1: eats at you just makes us hungrier. But I promise you,

1771
01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:59,000
Speaker 1: our guys are hungry, and we'll be back and we'll

1772
01:37:59,040 --> 01:38:04,000
Speaker 1: never stop fighting. Winners know how to turn that pain

1773
01:38:04,120 --> 01:38:06,840
Speaker 1: into growth. And late last night, things heated up between

1774
01:38:06,920 --> 01:38:10,200
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings and the Buffalo Bills, ending with Stefan

1775
01:38:10,320 --> 01:38:15,960
Speaker 1: Diggs being traded to Buffalo. Put a clinic now, can't

Speaker 1: and our rust belts. Let's just keep faking guys out

1783
01:38:37,479 --> 01:38:41,280

Speaker 1: you see they put Yeah, yeah, yeah, a little listen,

1807
01:40:12,080 --> 01:40:15,720
Speaker 1: they're filmmakers, a little CGI action. They're they're on it.

1808
01:40:15,800 --> 01:40:19,719
Speaker 1: They got it. They've got a really stellar media content.

1809
01:40:20,080 --> 01:40:23,080
Speaker 1: We're just part of it, right, I mean they got

1810
01:40:23,360 --> 01:40:26,760
Speaker 1: they got a top notch crew. Yeah, and uh man

1811
01:40:26,880 --> 01:40:30,120
Speaker 1: that that's just a sampling of the content coming into

1812
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:33,000
Speaker 1: now to do his best Siskel and Ebert is one

1813
01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:36,720
Speaker 1: Eric Wood who's going to review said film and uh

1814
01:40:36,920 --> 01:40:41,200
Speaker 1: give us a little bit of his thoughts on Saturday's game. Obviously, Eric,

1815
01:40:41,280 --> 01:40:44,599
Speaker 1: what did you think of that? Oscar Worthy? For Steve Man?

1816
01:40:44,680 --> 01:40:46,400
Speaker 1: It was pretty well done. I didn't know you had

1817
01:40:46,439 --> 01:40:50,400
Speaker 1: it in you, Steve, right, pretty theatrical and you're right, Um,

1818
01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:53,960
Speaker 1: Michelle and her team and Jaj, I mean, so many

1819
01:40:54,080 --> 01:40:57,920
Speaker 1: talented people within the Bills organization. Their entire content team

1820
01:40:58,080 --> 01:41:01,320
Speaker 1: is absolutely incredible what they've done, Uh this year. I'm

1821
01:41:01,560 --> 01:41:04,840
Speaker 1: always entertained by it through social media. And that was

1822
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:06,880
Speaker 1: that was a good one there though, Yeah, well it

1823
01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:09,400
Speaker 1: should be good. It took me about nine thousand takes

1824
01:41:09,479 --> 01:41:12,439
Speaker 1: to get that right. So well, nobody needs to know that.

1825
01:41:12,800 --> 01:41:17,479
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to tell me good. We probably got

1826
01:41:17,600 --> 01:41:20,200
Speaker 1: ticked off enough that it sound made you sound more

1827
01:41:20,320 --> 01:41:22,600
Speaker 1: serious and a little bit more dramatic. I'll tell you

1828
01:41:22,840 --> 01:41:25,439
Speaker 1: it was cold. Yeah, it was really cold. I was

1829
01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:27,920
Speaker 1: trying to get it right. That's right. But we will

1830
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:29,760
Speaker 1: get to some phone calls in a second and have

1831
01:41:29,960 --> 01:41:31,800
Speaker 1: Eric would field some of the people waiting at eight

1832
01:41:31,880 --> 01:41:34,240
Speaker 1: oh three oh five fifty. But Eric, I wanted to

1833
01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:36,840
Speaker 1: start with this because I'm wondering if you may have

1834
01:41:36,960 --> 01:41:40,760
Speaker 1: viewed it similarly or maybe not. Um. I think we've

1835
01:41:40,840 --> 01:41:46,519
Speaker 1: seen this team take another step in terms of their

1836
01:41:46,600 --> 01:41:49,880
Speaker 1: approach to each in every game. And what I mean

1837
01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:53,120
Speaker 1: by that is I feel like we went from a

1838
01:41:53,240 --> 01:41:57,960
Speaker 1: team just a few weeks ago that was playing confidently

1839
01:41:58,880 --> 01:42:03,160
Speaker 1: to a team now that is just on a seek

1840
01:42:03,320 --> 01:42:08,439
Speaker 1: and destroy mission. And that game in Denver solidified it

1841
01:42:08,560 --> 01:42:12,320
Speaker 1: for me. I think ever since the Hail Murray, this

1842
01:42:12,520 --> 01:42:16,599
Speaker 1: team comes out looking to annihilate people, not just play

1843
01:42:16,720 --> 01:42:19,799
Speaker 1: confidently and win football games like step on your throat

1844
01:42:19,880 --> 01:42:21,960
Speaker 1: and end it. I don't know if you see it

1845
01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:23,720
Speaker 1: the same way, but that's what struck me in the

1846
01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:29,599
Speaker 1: Denver game. Yeah, you're right, and they destroyed the Broncos

1847
01:42:29,720 --> 01:42:33,439
Speaker 1: and they had every reason to have a letdown last week,

1848
01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:37,040
Speaker 1: the short week, coming off in an emotional win on

1849
01:42:37,160 --> 01:42:41,080
Speaker 1: Sunday Night football against the Steelers, You're traveling out west,

1850
01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:44,600
Speaker 1: the Broncos aren't in the playoff funt. All of that

1851
01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:48,840
Speaker 1: led to, you know, a time where the Bills could

1852
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:51,680
Speaker 1: have easily made an excuse for a letdown performance, a

1853
01:42:51,840 --> 01:42:55,000
Speaker 1: narrow victory out there, a loss, whatever it may be.

1854
01:42:55,520 --> 01:42:58,360
Speaker 1: And they go out and take control of the game early.

1855
01:42:58,880 --> 01:43:01,240
Speaker 1: The Broncos have an early drive, their first drive of

1856
01:43:01,320 --> 01:43:03,240
Speaker 1: the game, they drive down, they miss a field goal,

1857
01:43:03,840 --> 01:43:07,439
Speaker 1: and then just got steamrolled. It was back to back

1858
01:43:07,520 --> 01:43:10,320
Speaker 1: touchdown drives against the Bills. They hold them to right

1859
01:43:10,360 --> 01:43:13,120
Speaker 1: around two hundred and fifty yards of total offense for

1860
01:43:13,200 --> 01:43:15,800
Speaker 1: the Broncos. And this is you know, this is a

1861
01:43:15,960 --> 01:43:18,519
Speaker 1: rushing attack that's been effective at times for the Broncos

1862
01:43:18,640 --> 01:43:22,880
Speaker 1: this year. Two talented running backs completely stifled them. Drew

1863
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:25,840
Speaker 1: Locke the week before throws for four touchdowns right around

1864
01:43:25,880 --> 01:43:29,040
Speaker 1: three hundred yards. They completely stifle him. I mean, it was.

1865
01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:32,400
Speaker 1: It was a dominant performance and one you just love

1866
01:43:32,520 --> 01:43:34,920
Speaker 1: to see because, like I mentioned at the start of

1867
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:38,680
Speaker 1: my comments, they had every excuse in the book that

1868
01:43:38,800 --> 01:43:41,120
Speaker 1: they could have tied up afterwards if it didn't work

1869
01:43:41,200 --> 01:43:43,560
Speaker 1: out that way. Yeah, I mean the Broncos through for

1870
01:43:43,640 --> 01:43:48,280
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen net passing yards. That this was

1871
01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:51,559
Speaker 1: a beatdown and it's coming. And it's the reason it's

1872
01:43:51,760 --> 01:43:53,639
Speaker 1: even encouraging even for a good team like the Bills.

1873
01:43:53,680 --> 01:43:55,479
Speaker 1: They sew up the division, they get that going. They

1874
01:43:55,520 --> 01:43:58,240
Speaker 1: were they already won ten games on the season. But

1875
01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:00,120
Speaker 1: to do this now, closing in on the end to

1876
01:44:00,200 --> 01:44:02,200
Speaker 1: the season, to go in at a time when they

1877
01:44:02,280 --> 01:44:04,960
Speaker 1: had to put, you know, to hang a banner, you know,

1878
01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:08,280
Speaker 1: hang an AFC East title on the wall. They absolutely

1879
01:44:08,439 --> 01:44:11,760
Speaker 1: crushed a Denver team that you know whose defense. You know,

1880
01:44:11,800 --> 01:44:14,400
Speaker 1: they were number one in the red zone, they had

1881
01:44:14,560 --> 01:44:16,839
Speaker 1: they had won the week before and a pretty impressive

1882
01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:19,960
Speaker 1: outing against Carolina, and the bill just went in and

1883
01:44:20,120 --> 01:44:22,439
Speaker 1: absolutely did a number on them in every phase of

1884
01:44:22,520 --> 01:44:25,240
Speaker 1: the game. And that's um. You know that they got one.

1885
01:44:25,320 --> 01:44:27,639
Speaker 1: Their first touchdown was as a result of a mistake

1886
01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:30,280
Speaker 1: by by Andre Robert by the team by the Bills.

1887
01:44:31,160 --> 01:44:33,920
Speaker 1: They really struggled against this Buffalo team. And I think

1888
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:36,200
Speaker 1: that says as much beating a team you should beat

1889
01:44:36,240 --> 01:44:38,760
Speaker 1: and beating them soundly says a lot about where this

1890
01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:42,439
Speaker 1: team could go yeah for sure. And when you look

1891
01:44:42,479 --> 01:44:45,880
Speaker 1: back at Denver's record or their schedule, you know, they

1892
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:48,519
Speaker 1: beat Carolina. The week before, they played the Chiefs top

1893
01:44:48,560 --> 01:44:51,080
Speaker 1: the week before that they had the game with hitting

1894
01:44:51,160 --> 01:44:53,599
Speaker 1: that quarterback when they played their receiver at quarterback. They

1895
01:44:53,600 --> 01:44:55,400
Speaker 1: got smashed by the Saints, and then the week before

1896
01:44:55,439 --> 01:44:57,560
Speaker 1: they only lose the Dolphins by seven. So this is

1897
01:44:57,600 --> 01:45:01,120
Speaker 1: a team that was trad ending in a direction where

1898
01:45:01,160 --> 01:45:03,600
Speaker 1: they were at least playing everybody tough, and then the

1899
01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:06,519
Speaker 1: Bills come in and beat them down. And one of

1900
01:45:06,600 --> 01:45:08,479
Speaker 1: the things I love so much with the way the

1901
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:11,519
Speaker 1: Bills won in that fashion and even the way they've

1902
01:45:11,560 --> 01:45:14,639
Speaker 1: been playing this last month of the season, I'll say

1903
01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:17,000
Speaker 1: is that they're getting it done on both sides of

1904
01:45:17,040 --> 01:45:19,759
Speaker 1: the ball now. And last year, heading into the playoffs,

1905
01:45:19,840 --> 01:45:22,240
Speaker 1: the defense was carrying the team and you kind of

1906
01:45:22,280 --> 01:45:24,840
Speaker 1: just figured if the defense as an off night, the

1907
01:45:24,960 --> 01:45:27,720
Speaker 1: offense won't be able to outscore the other team. And

1908
01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:30,479
Speaker 1: then early in this season, as the defense was still

1909
01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:33,759
Speaker 1: getting their footing and getting you know, had some injuries

1910
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:36,680
Speaker 1: at linebackers, they're finding the rotation with all these new

1911
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:39,840
Speaker 1: pieces on the defensive line is Harrison Phillips coming off

1912
01:45:39,880 --> 01:45:43,640
Speaker 1: an ACL all that was going on on defense, you

1913
01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:46,160
Speaker 1: sat here and thought, well, if the offense has a

1914
01:45:46,200 --> 01:45:49,240
Speaker 1: bad day, the Bills could probably get beat. The way

1915
01:45:49,280 --> 01:45:51,519
Speaker 1: that they're playing right now, with both sides of the

1916
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:56,519
Speaker 1: football playing dominant football, it allows you a time where

1917
01:45:56,840 --> 01:45:58,960
Speaker 1: one side of the ball could be off in that

1918
01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:02,120
Speaker 1: game and you can still win the game. And that's

1919
01:46:02,160 --> 01:46:04,320
Speaker 1: not something that we could have said about the Bills

1920
01:46:04,520 --> 01:46:06,920
Speaker 1: last year, and not every team in the league and

1921
01:46:07,080 --> 01:46:09,880
Speaker 1: say and when you have a single elimination deal like

1922
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:12,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs is as we all know, it helps to

1923
01:46:12,720 --> 01:46:15,280
Speaker 1: have two sides of the ball that could potentially carry

1924
01:46:15,280 --> 01:46:16,880
Speaker 1: you through a game if you need it. Yeah, no

1925
01:46:17,040 --> 01:46:19,000
Speaker 1: question about it. Let's go to the phones at eight

1926
01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:21,320
Speaker 1: oh three, oh five fifty. I got some people out

1927
01:46:21,400 --> 01:46:24,439
Speaker 1: here with some questions, and we'll lead off with Dan

1928
01:46:24,600 --> 01:46:27,960
Speaker 1: and Rochester, who has a question about Kansas City. So, Dan,

1929
01:46:28,040 --> 01:46:29,800
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on with Eric Wood,

1930
01:46:30,439 --> 01:46:34,120
Speaker 1: Steve Hi. Eric, How you doing man, I'm doing great?

1931
01:46:34,120 --> 01:46:36,760
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Steed for me in the Hall

1932
01:46:36,760 --> 01:46:40,280
Speaker 1: of Fame. I've been a Bills fam life. I'm pushing

1933
01:46:40,360 --> 01:46:42,880
Speaker 1: seventy nowns. I saw you're run Steve. You should be

1934
01:46:42,960 --> 01:46:44,720
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame, no doubt, my manager. I

1935
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:49,840
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thanks, and you always hustled, always hustled. You

1936
01:46:49,960 --> 01:46:51,800
Speaker 1: make me proud to be a born in Western New

1937
01:46:51,880 --> 01:46:56,800
Speaker 1: York man. I'm telling you YouTube, Eric, what do you

1938
01:46:56,840 --> 01:46:59,599
Speaker 1: think about Kansas City? I'm jumping out of the game.

1939
01:46:59,640 --> 01:47:03,800
Speaker 1: What do you think about Kansasy? Can they beat? Yeah?

1940
01:47:04,040 --> 01:47:07,799
Speaker 1: Beat Eric? What do you think? Yeah? They can definitely

1941
01:47:07,880 --> 01:47:09,519
Speaker 1: be bet. You're gonna have to play a good game

1942
01:47:09,560 --> 01:47:12,160
Speaker 1: against them. Are you gonna shut them out? No, You're

1943
01:47:12,200 --> 01:47:14,400
Speaker 1: gonna have to score some points. You're gonna have to

1944
01:47:14,520 --> 01:47:17,000
Speaker 1: make some stops. I like the fact that the Bills

1945
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:19,639
Speaker 1: already got to play, you know, and how it relates

1946
01:47:19,680 --> 01:47:23,120
Speaker 1: to the Bills in a potential playoff matchup. I like

1947
01:47:23,240 --> 01:47:25,000
Speaker 1: the fact that the Bill has already got to play

1948
01:47:25,080 --> 01:47:28,720
Speaker 1: them this year and you know, try some things out defensively.

1949
01:47:28,760 --> 01:47:31,240
Speaker 1: They went with the ben but don't break, and Kansas

1950
01:47:31,280 --> 01:47:34,240
Speaker 1: City ran the ball down their throat. Um Edwards Hilaric

1951
01:47:34,560 --> 01:47:37,479
Speaker 1: got hurt last night. I would assume they're they're hoping

1952
01:47:37,560 --> 01:47:39,559
Speaker 1: he's back for the playoffs. It looks like he's gonna

1953
01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:42,200
Speaker 1: miss the remainder of the season. They have Levon Bell,

1954
01:47:42,240 --> 01:47:45,880
Speaker 1: who's everyone knows is extremely talented, but can he have

1955
01:47:46,080 --> 01:47:50,320
Speaker 1: the same production, you know without maybe the continuity We'll see.

1956
01:47:50,800 --> 01:47:53,439
Speaker 1: But that's a that's a potent offense, but it's a

1957
01:47:53,560 --> 01:47:57,240
Speaker 1: defense that I think that the Bills in looking at

1958
01:47:57,320 --> 01:48:00,960
Speaker 1: that matchup, the Bills can put up some point And look,

1959
01:48:01,200 --> 01:48:05,120
Speaker 1: they didn't play their best game offensively against the Chiefs

1960
01:48:05,240 --> 01:48:07,920
Speaker 1: last time either, and it's a six point game in

1961
01:48:08,040 --> 01:48:12,160
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. You know, you take that the playoff time,

1962
01:48:12,800 --> 01:48:16,160
Speaker 1: and the Bills have more than just a shot. You know.

1963
01:48:16,200 --> 01:48:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they would be favored, but they

1964
01:48:18,880 --> 01:48:21,160
Speaker 1: would have a great shot. And they're a better team

1965
01:48:21,200 --> 01:48:22,960
Speaker 1: than they take the Kansas City and they're a better

1966
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:24,519
Speaker 1: team than they were in Week six. I think we

1967
01:48:24,600 --> 01:48:26,680
Speaker 1: can all agree on that, right Steve. I mean, oh yeah,

1968
01:48:26,720 --> 01:48:30,320
Speaker 1: the Bills are a completely different team than particularly defensively,

1969
01:48:30,400 --> 01:48:32,960
Speaker 1: and I think they're more confident offensively as well. I

1970
01:48:33,040 --> 01:48:36,559
Speaker 1: think the fact that they've become they were really good

1971
01:48:36,600 --> 01:48:39,599
Speaker 1: in the red zone on Saturday against the number one

1972
01:48:39,680 --> 01:48:42,080
Speaker 1: red zone team in the National Football League. They still

1973
01:48:42,160 --> 01:48:45,920
Speaker 1: had their passing game working extremely well. They in this

1974
01:48:46,120 --> 01:48:48,599
Speaker 1: game against Denver, they rushed for one hundred and eighty

1975
01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:52,080
Speaker 1: two yards. So they're clicking on all cylinders, and it

1976
01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:54,639
Speaker 1: looks like they're the kind of team that can both

1977
01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:59,040
Speaker 1: score with Kansas City and be opportunistic enough maybe to

1978
01:48:59,080 --> 01:49:01,720
Speaker 1: get a couple of extra possessions on top of it

1979
01:49:01,920 --> 01:49:04,320
Speaker 1: and win a game like that against Kansas City. And

1980
01:49:04,720 --> 01:49:07,720
Speaker 1: so yeah, I think, and I said it on the

1981
01:49:07,760 --> 01:49:13,519
Speaker 1: broadcast on Saturday, it looks and you know, there's a

1982
01:49:13,600 --> 01:49:15,760
Speaker 1: million things that are going to happen between now and then,

1983
01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:19,120
Speaker 1: but I said it. The Bills look and have looked

1984
01:49:19,160 --> 01:49:21,880
Speaker 1: for weeks now like they're on a collision course with

1985
01:49:22,000 --> 01:49:26,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and there I don't think anything's wavered my

1986
01:49:26,160 --> 01:49:28,680
Speaker 1: belief in that once you know, at the end of

1987
01:49:28,720 --> 01:49:33,280
Speaker 1: this season, those two teams are going to meet. Yeah,

1988
01:49:33,360 --> 01:49:35,799
Speaker 1: that's the way it's trending right now. For sure, they

1989
01:49:35,880 --> 01:49:37,799
Speaker 1: seem to be the two best teams in the AFC.

1990
01:49:38,080 --> 01:49:40,960
Speaker 1: Now that the Steelers still have the better record. After

1991
01:49:41,400 --> 01:49:44,280
Speaker 1: they're eleven and oz start, you know, they've been dealt

1992
01:49:44,360 --> 01:49:46,840
Speaker 1: back to back losses. I don't see them losing to

1993
01:49:46,960 --> 01:49:50,559
Speaker 1: Ryan Finley in the Cincinnati Bengals tonight. I'm Monday Night Football,

1994
01:49:50,840 --> 01:49:53,840
Speaker 1: and then it'll be interesting how these next couple of

1995
01:49:53,840 --> 01:49:56,320
Speaker 1: weeks shake out as far as a rest standpoint. Do

1996
01:49:56,439 --> 01:49:59,479
Speaker 1: you go after that two seed and hope the Steelers

1997
01:49:59,560 --> 01:50:02,040
Speaker 1: drop on more? But what the Bills have right now

1998
01:50:02,240 --> 01:50:04,560
Speaker 1: is a ton of confidence and a ton of momentum,

1999
01:50:04,920 --> 01:50:07,280
Speaker 1: and it'll be interesting to see how they manage these

2000
01:50:07,400 --> 01:50:10,559
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, because, yes, you want to enter

2001
01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:14,400
Speaker 1: the playoffs as healthy as possible, but man, this team

2002
01:50:14,520 --> 01:50:16,920
Speaker 1: is peaking at the right time and you'd hate to

2003
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:20,000
Speaker 1: see some of that go away if they start resting

2004
01:50:20,120 --> 01:50:22,360
Speaker 1: guys or whatever it may be. And let me let

2005
01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:24,320
Speaker 1: me follow up on that, Eric, because I wanted to

2006
01:50:24,400 --> 01:50:28,559
Speaker 1: get a player's perspective on this. You know, people are

2007
01:50:28,600 --> 01:50:31,080
Speaker 1: talking about there's value in the two seed because it

2008
01:50:31,160 --> 01:50:34,439
Speaker 1: gives you two home playoff games, not just one, which

2009
01:50:34,640 --> 01:50:38,479
Speaker 1: in any normal year you'd say, absolutely, give me the

2010
01:50:38,520 --> 01:50:41,720
Speaker 1: two home games just because of the fan advantage. But

2011
01:50:41,880 --> 01:50:44,640
Speaker 1: we don't have that, and it doesn't look like we

2012
01:50:44,760 --> 01:50:49,599
Speaker 1: are anytime soon. So taking the fans out of the equation,

2013
01:50:49,680 --> 01:50:52,160
Speaker 1: does it still hold the same value as a player

2014
01:50:52,560 --> 01:50:55,679
Speaker 1: to have two home playoff games as opposed to just one,

2015
01:50:56,160 --> 01:50:58,920
Speaker 1: enough to maybe compel you to keep guys in your

2016
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:00,320
Speaker 1: lineup all the way to the end and if you

2017
01:51:00,400 --> 01:51:04,360
Speaker 1: need to do so. Yeah, I mean the home playoff game,

2018
01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:08,320
Speaker 1: even without the fan advantage, it's still you're you're not

2019
01:51:08,479 --> 01:51:11,519
Speaker 1: having to travel, you're comfortable, you have all your own

2020
01:51:11,640 --> 01:51:15,080
Speaker 1: set up. You know, there's other places where you have

2021
01:51:15,200 --> 01:51:17,200
Speaker 1: limited fans. The Bills have been at zero. If it

2022
01:51:17,360 --> 01:51:20,280
Speaker 1: remains zero for the playoffs. The Bills are used to that.

2023
01:51:20,360 --> 01:51:23,240
Speaker 1: They played eight games in front of zero fans at home,

2024
01:51:23,320 --> 01:51:26,400
Speaker 1: and they're used to that. There's other teams, you know. Um,

2025
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:29,200
Speaker 1: you know, as you look around the teams that have

2026
01:51:29,240 --> 01:51:31,840
Speaker 1: played in front of fifteen thousand, it's a different deal

2027
01:51:31,880 --> 01:51:34,360
Speaker 1: when you have when you go to that silent stadium.

2028
01:51:34,720 --> 01:51:37,760
Speaker 1: I've seen it throughout my college broadcasts, having games that

2029
01:51:37,840 --> 01:51:40,879
Speaker 1: were zero and having up to what was it, seventeen

2030
01:51:40,920 --> 01:51:45,880
Speaker 1: thousand at Florida State one week. So when you look around, yes,

2031
01:51:45,960 --> 01:51:48,120
Speaker 1: that probably gives them an advantage. But you know, I

2032
01:51:48,200 --> 01:51:53,720
Speaker 1: think every case is individual, and the Bills seem to

2033
01:51:53,720 --> 01:51:59,559
Speaker 1: be getting healthier, so there's not glaring injuries out there.

2034
01:51:59,600 --> 01:52:01,800
Speaker 1: Maybe Davis, why do you got dinged up? At the

2035
01:52:01,920 --> 01:52:03,920
Speaker 1: end of the last one? Stefond digs with his foot

2036
01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:06,640
Speaker 1: like those are two guys that you have to have

2037
01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:09,400
Speaker 1: healthy for the playoffs. Those of guys that played a

2038
01:52:09,439 --> 01:52:11,439
Speaker 1: lot of ball in this league. You don't necessarily need

2039
01:52:11,520 --> 01:52:14,519
Speaker 1: to see them prove themselves these last couple of weeks,

2040
01:52:14,720 --> 01:52:18,479
Speaker 1: but you need them healthy in the playoffs. So those

2041
01:52:18,479 --> 01:52:21,000
Speaker 1: are two guys I could look at and think, Man,

2042
01:52:22,400 --> 01:52:26,720
Speaker 1: at least maybe week seventeen you give you give those

2043
01:52:26,760 --> 01:52:29,400
Speaker 1: guys the week off. Yeah, let's go back to the phones.

2044
01:52:29,800 --> 01:52:31,880
Speaker 1: See somebody else. As a question for Eric. Here we

2045
01:52:31,960 --> 01:52:34,840
Speaker 1: go to Tom in Rochester. Tom, what do you have

2046
01:52:34,960 --> 01:52:42,280
Speaker 1: for us? Steve? Eric, gentlemen, it's a minor and Steve,

2047
01:52:42,439 --> 01:52:46,439
Speaker 1: you're such a homer man. I love your brother. I

2048
01:52:46,680 --> 01:52:49,680
Speaker 1: had the radio feed turned up. I couldn't get on

2049
01:52:49,800 --> 01:52:52,519
Speaker 1: normal channels. I'd just spent some money. Oh well, got

2050
01:52:52,560 --> 01:52:55,680
Speaker 1: the game if I had to keep on adjusting the

2051
01:52:56,520 --> 01:52:59,240
Speaker 1: game because it wasn't in the same feat. You know

2052
01:52:59,240 --> 01:53:02,000
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, not for the Eric, thank

2053
01:53:02,040 --> 01:53:03,920
Speaker 1: you for what you've done for the Bills all those

2054
01:53:04,000 --> 01:53:07,800
Speaker 1: years and just needless to say. And Steve, one of

2055
01:53:07,800 --> 01:53:11,120
Speaker 1: the last kudos you put special teams on the map.

2056
01:53:11,280 --> 01:53:13,720
Speaker 1: My friend. It's all I want to say. Should have

2057
01:53:14,080 --> 01:53:17,880
Speaker 1: you should have been introduced to the inducted a long

2058
01:53:18,000 --> 01:53:20,120
Speaker 1: long time ago. But your year year in and uh,

2059
01:53:20,320 --> 01:53:25,080
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful thing, my pleasure. One play stuck out.

2060
01:53:25,160 --> 01:53:29,479
Speaker 1: It wasn't any touchdown. Fabulous game, Needless to say, the

2061
01:53:29,640 --> 01:53:35,320
Speaker 1: creativity I've seen, we've seen this year with tables and

2062
01:53:35,479 --> 01:53:39,200
Speaker 1: how Josh implements the play calls. There was one and

2063
01:53:39,400 --> 01:53:41,559
Speaker 1: it's not a statue of liberty, because statue of liberty,

2064
01:53:41,560 --> 01:53:43,280
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, is when you have the ball

2065
01:53:43,400 --> 01:53:46,519
Speaker 1: up in the air. Okay, thus the you know the phrase,

2066
01:53:46,560 --> 01:53:49,519
Speaker 1: sat your liberty call. Josh turned and it just this

2067
01:53:49,720 --> 01:53:51,840
Speaker 1: just made me scream out of my chair and enjoy

2068
01:53:53,080 --> 01:53:56,320
Speaker 1: turned and faked the ball to the right with no

2069
01:53:56,720 --> 01:53:58,920
Speaker 1: you know, with no football in his right hand. In

2070
01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:01,360
Speaker 1: his left hand he had the ball like backhand to

2071
01:54:01,400 --> 01:54:06,479
Speaker 1: the side and then I believe it was singletary. Yes,

2072
01:54:07,680 --> 01:54:10,519
Speaker 1: And that play right there was like, oh my god,

2073
01:54:10,680 --> 01:54:14,720
Speaker 1: it was just you know, I don't know, the execution

2074
01:54:14,920 --> 01:54:17,760
Speaker 1: is unbelievable, and that call was I haven't seen that

2075
01:54:17,880 --> 01:54:22,719
Speaker 1: play ever by any team in the NFL. And go Bills,

2076
01:54:22,840 --> 01:54:26,120
Speaker 1: God bless Buffalo. I've worked in radio for almost thirty

2077
01:54:26,320 --> 01:54:29,599
Speaker 1: thirty nine years hosting my own jazz program. I had

2078
01:54:29,600 --> 01:54:31,280
Speaker 1: a couple of bills on that were at a little

2079
01:54:31,840 --> 01:54:33,840
Speaker 1: charity basketball. I don't even know who it was, but

2080
01:54:34,080 --> 01:54:36,640
Speaker 1: I Edman got him and got him on the air.

2081
01:54:36,680 --> 01:54:40,040
Speaker 1: But go bills. God bless you guys. Thank you. Steve,

2082
01:54:40,120 --> 01:54:41,800
Speaker 1: what does it say? And Eric? What does it say

2083
01:54:41,880 --> 01:54:46,000
Speaker 1: when you have a coordinator in Brian Dable and a

2084
01:54:46,160 --> 01:54:49,760
Speaker 1: quarterback in Josh Allen that just seemed to be on

2085
01:54:49,920 --> 01:54:53,080
Speaker 1: the same page no matter the circumstance and the trust

2086
01:54:53,240 --> 01:54:56,880
Speaker 1: that exists between those two guys. Where As Josh told

2087
01:54:56,960 --> 01:54:59,200
Speaker 1: us after the game, he went to Ken Dorsey on

2088
01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:01,840
Speaker 1: the sideline, said I want to take my shot play

2089
01:55:01,880 --> 01:55:04,360
Speaker 1: that Stefon Diggs down the right sideline for fifty five

2090
01:55:04,480 --> 01:55:07,120
Speaker 1: yards or we're gonna run statue or liberty or whatever

2091
01:55:07,120 --> 01:55:09,080
Speaker 1: you want to call it down in the red zone.

2092
01:55:09,480 --> 01:55:11,160
Speaker 1: I'll let you guys each take a shot at it.

2093
01:55:11,200 --> 01:55:13,680
Speaker 1: Steve go first, Like, what does that say about the

2094
01:55:13,800 --> 01:55:17,400
Speaker 1: trust factor and the belief that this offense can execute

2095
01:55:17,440 --> 01:55:19,680
Speaker 1: just about anything at any time? Well, it does say

2096
01:55:19,760 --> 01:55:21,720
Speaker 1: something about this stability that we thought was going to

2097
01:55:21,760 --> 01:55:24,560
Speaker 1: be important this year, about coming back with no offseason,

2098
01:55:24,760 --> 01:55:27,080
Speaker 1: having a quarterback that's been with the same offensive coordinator

2099
01:55:27,160 --> 01:55:30,280
Speaker 1: for three years, being able to evolve from the basics

2100
01:55:30,320 --> 01:55:33,280
Speaker 1: of an offense into the wrinkles and the nuances and

2101
01:55:33,480 --> 01:55:36,800
Speaker 1: the shot plays and your quarterback having a voice in

2102
01:55:36,840 --> 01:55:40,600
Speaker 1: the room rather than just being spoken to. They are

2103
01:55:40,760 --> 01:55:44,960
Speaker 1: light years ahead of where they were at the beginning

2104
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:49,800
Speaker 1: of last year, and it shows. It shows. They hung

2105
01:55:49,920 --> 01:55:53,320
Speaker 1: forty eight points on an NFL defense and there's nothing

2106
01:55:54,040 --> 01:55:56,160
Speaker 1: there's nothing easy about that. I don't care who it is.

2107
01:55:56,320 --> 01:55:59,880
Speaker 1: And to have them at this spot speaks to how

2108
01:56:00,160 --> 01:56:02,760
Speaker 1: hard they've worked, how much time that they have put

2109
01:56:02,840 --> 01:56:05,480
Speaker 1: in at perfecting this, the weapons they have, an amount

2110
01:56:05,480 --> 01:56:07,200
Speaker 1: of guys that are playing well on both sides, on

2111
01:56:07,720 --> 01:56:12,320
Speaker 1: upfront and outside, and also the trust they have in

2112
01:56:12,400 --> 01:56:15,040
Speaker 1: each other to call these plays, to execute them and

2113
01:56:15,240 --> 01:56:17,960
Speaker 1: to you know, to make them work. So all of

2114
01:56:18,040 --> 01:56:20,480
Speaker 1: that stuff is in that mix of how good this

2115
01:56:20,640 --> 01:56:22,640
Speaker 1: offense is right now. Yeah, Eric, where do you come

2116
01:56:22,720 --> 01:56:26,320
Speaker 1: down on this, because I can't remember, maybe not since

2117
01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:33,240
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly, where somebody was suggesting plays and running them. Yeah,

2118
01:56:33,600 --> 01:56:35,760
Speaker 1: it actually probably happens more than you think. It just

2119
01:56:35,800 --> 01:56:37,600
Speaker 1: doesn't get talked about a whole lot, and it takes

2120
01:56:37,640 --> 01:56:41,160
Speaker 1: a really good offense to even bring attention to it

2121
01:56:41,320 --> 01:56:43,880
Speaker 1: and to appreciate the fact that that does happen. But

2122
01:56:44,200 --> 01:56:48,400
Speaker 1: anytime you have players suggesting plays, that creates ownership with

2123
01:56:48,480 --> 01:56:50,560
Speaker 1: the players. And when Josh says, hey, I want to

2124
01:56:50,600 --> 01:56:53,560
Speaker 1: take a shot down the field, he's got to lock in.

2125
01:56:53,760 --> 01:56:55,680
Speaker 1: Stefine Diggs got to lock in and say, hey, we

2126
01:56:55,760 --> 01:56:57,640
Speaker 1: need to make this work because I've kind of stepped

2127
01:56:57,640 --> 01:57:01,040
Speaker 1: out of my lane of a player and now I'm

2128
01:57:01,480 --> 01:57:04,520
Speaker 1: trying to suggest stuff to the coaches. If you step

2129
01:57:04,560 --> 01:57:07,040
Speaker 1: out of your lane, you better show up. And you know,

2130
01:57:07,600 --> 01:57:10,160
Speaker 1: I'll never forget back to Alex Vanpell my rookie year

2131
01:57:10,720 --> 01:57:13,480
Speaker 1: when he took over his offensive coordinator. When we fired

2132
01:57:13,720 --> 01:57:17,920
Speaker 1: um tur Turk Schooner after our last preseason game. What

2133
01:57:18,040 --> 01:57:21,600
Speaker 1: a crazy time that was. But Alex Vanpel came in

2134
01:57:21,720 --> 01:57:23,640
Speaker 1: and he said, hey, I want to hear suggestions from

2135
01:57:23,680 --> 01:57:26,720
Speaker 1: you guys. Look, I played this game, and I played

2136
01:57:26,760 --> 01:57:30,919
Speaker 1: at high level. When guys suggest plays, they take ownership

2137
01:57:31,000 --> 01:57:32,800
Speaker 1: of it. And you've seen that from Josh Allen. But

2138
01:57:33,280 --> 01:57:34,880
Speaker 1: Brian dave Balls had a heck of a year of

2139
01:57:34,920 --> 01:57:37,560
Speaker 1: calling football and this is a guy and this isn't

2140
01:57:37,560 --> 01:57:39,280
Speaker 1: a I told you so moment. But I've been a

2141
01:57:39,320 --> 01:57:41,440
Speaker 1: fan of his since he got to Buffalo. I was

2142
01:57:41,480 --> 01:57:43,360
Speaker 1: a fan of his before he even got here. But

2143
01:57:43,560 --> 01:57:46,480
Speaker 1: what he's done, mixing in some of the things he

2144
01:57:46,560 --> 01:57:50,240
Speaker 1: took from the college game at Alabama, some of the

2145
01:57:51,440 --> 01:57:53,600
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniel stuff that he mixes in, a lot of

2146
01:57:53,640 --> 01:57:56,760
Speaker 1: the stuff that's creative that he's that he's brought about

2147
01:57:56,800 --> 01:58:00,720
Speaker 1: on his own, developing this passing game, having a really

2148
01:58:00,840 --> 01:58:04,320
Speaker 1: diverse running attack when he needs it. It's been absolutely essaying.

2149
01:58:04,320 --> 01:58:06,920
Speaker 1: But the thing that impresses me the most of everything

2150
01:58:06,960 --> 01:58:09,480
Speaker 1: he's done this year is some of the walk in,

2151
01:58:09,920 --> 01:58:15,160
Speaker 1: wide open, scripted red zone touchdowns. It's hard to find

2152
01:58:15,240 --> 01:58:18,360
Speaker 1: those on film. I mean, I sat there for nine

2153
01:58:18,440 --> 01:58:21,080
Speaker 1: years and offensive meetings, and a lot of times you're like, well,

2154
01:58:21,120 --> 01:58:24,240
Speaker 1: the safeties are low, the windows are tighter, someone's gonna

2155
01:58:24,280 --> 01:58:27,280
Speaker 1: have to make a play, and you know the statue

2156
01:58:27,320 --> 01:58:29,680
Speaker 1: of liberty the behind the back handoff is one from

2157
01:58:29,720 --> 01:58:32,160
Speaker 1: the last game. But there's just been so many throughout

2158
01:58:32,240 --> 01:58:36,320
Speaker 1: this year where it's a jet sweep or a flip

2159
01:58:36,440 --> 01:58:39,240
Speaker 1: play to McKenzie who ends up walking in the end zone.

2160
01:58:39,280 --> 01:58:42,360
Speaker 1: It's a bootleg with someone blocking out in front of

2161
01:58:42,760 --> 01:58:45,440
Speaker 1: a Dawson Knox at Guilliam. But whatever it is has

2162
01:58:45,480 --> 01:58:48,640
Speaker 1: been this year. It's been offensive linemen out on routes.

2163
01:58:48,680 --> 01:58:50,960
Speaker 1: It's been Lee Smith in the end zone in so

2164
01:58:51,120 --> 01:58:55,200
Speaker 1: many different ways. He's scripted these wide open touchdowns, which

2165
01:58:55,320 --> 01:58:57,720
Speaker 1: is hard to do in this league. Yeah, because the

2166
01:58:57,800 --> 01:59:00,480
Speaker 1: space is so tight down there. As you mentioned. Let's

2167
01:59:00,480 --> 01:59:02,600
Speaker 1: go back to the phones for one more question for Eric.

2168
01:59:02,680 --> 01:59:05,200
Speaker 1: We go to Mike in north Tonawanda. Mike, you're on

2169
01:59:05,280 --> 01:59:08,160
Speaker 1: with Eric Wood. What do you have for us? Hi guys,

2170
01:59:08,200 --> 01:59:14,360
Speaker 1: and happy holiday? Salim This and Steve this is kind

2171
01:59:14,360 --> 01:59:18,040
Speaker 1: of directed to you. The family atmosphere that this team

2172
01:59:18,120 --> 01:59:20,680
Speaker 1: has created. And it's not only just the players, but

2173
01:59:20,800 --> 01:59:23,240
Speaker 1: it goes all the way through the front office, It

2174
01:59:23,400 --> 01:59:26,800
Speaker 1: goes to the coaches. These guys are a unit. When

2175
01:59:26,840 --> 01:59:29,400
Speaker 1: you talk about a team, you're talking about from the

2176
01:59:29,520 --> 01:59:32,920
Speaker 1: front office down to the to the water boys if

2177
01:59:32,920 --> 01:59:34,960
Speaker 1: you want to include them. I mean, this is one

2178
01:59:35,080 --> 01:59:40,000
Speaker 1: team effort. You have coaches that are able to adapt

2179
01:59:40,040 --> 01:59:41,920
Speaker 1: to a game plan like in the Steelers game. I

2180
01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:45,440
Speaker 1: mean their game plan going into the game, the Steelers

2181
01:59:45,480 --> 01:59:47,400
Speaker 1: were stopping them, and they went into the halftime and

2182
01:59:47,480 --> 01:59:50,120
Speaker 1: they made their adjustments and they came out and performed

2183
01:59:50,160 --> 01:59:54,560
Speaker 1: together as a team. It's just fun to watch these

2184
01:59:54,680 --> 01:59:57,640
Speaker 1: guys work together as a unit on both sides of

2185
01:59:57,720 --> 02:00:00,520
Speaker 1: the ball. They don't get down on each other. There's

2186
02:00:00,560 --> 02:00:04,000
Speaker 1: no iron team, there's no laying the fault on anybody.

2187
02:00:04,080 --> 02:00:08,920
Speaker 1: There's it's just one nucleus statish. It's just driving forward

2188
02:00:08,960 --> 02:00:11,280
Speaker 1: and it's fun to watch. And I want to mention

2189
02:00:11,400 --> 02:00:17,400
Speaker 1: something about Josh Allen, not only his work off season,

2190
02:00:17,680 --> 02:00:21,120
Speaker 1: but if you watch this man every play when he's

2191
02:00:21,160 --> 02:00:24,720
Speaker 1: on the sidelines, he's watching film, he's learning, he's learning

2192
02:00:24,960 --> 02:00:27,440
Speaker 1: every play. The way he comes up to the line

2193
02:00:27,440 --> 02:00:30,360
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, he's looking over the defense, he's reading. He

2194
02:00:30,560 --> 02:00:33,080
Speaker 1: reminds me very much of a Peyton Manning and the

2195
02:00:33,120 --> 02:00:36,360
Speaker 1: way he studies the game. Peyton Manning was very much

2196
02:00:36,440 --> 02:00:38,960
Speaker 1: like that on the sidelines. He was always studying. When

2197
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:40,360
Speaker 1: he did something wrong, he wanted to know what he

2198
02:00:40,440 --> 02:00:43,240
Speaker 1: did wrong, what's working, what's not working. So I'll law

2199
02:00:43,240 --> 02:00:44,640
Speaker 1: a thing up and I hope you guys have a

2200
02:00:44,680 --> 02:00:48,160
Speaker 1: good holiday and go bills all right, Thanks Mike for

2201
02:00:48,240 --> 02:00:51,880
Speaker 1: the call. Eric, you are a part of the very

2202
02:00:51,960 --> 02:00:55,080
Speaker 1: foundational building blocks of this culture build here. You know

2203
02:00:55,160 --> 02:00:57,920
Speaker 1: that was your last season, maybe just give us a

2204
02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:02,480
Speaker 1: peek into how coached try to build it literally from

2205
02:01:02,480 --> 02:01:06,920
Speaker 1: the ground up. Yeah, and Buffalo, it naturally becomes more

2206
02:01:06,920 --> 02:01:10,800
Speaker 1: of a family atmosphere because it's a smaller town compared

2207
02:01:10,840 --> 02:01:13,000
Speaker 1: to these big cities where guys can live an hour

2208
02:01:13,120 --> 02:01:16,400
Speaker 1: away from each other. We all live in pretty close proximity,

2209
02:01:16,440 --> 02:01:19,720
Speaker 1: so that naturally gets guys together off the field. Your

2210
02:01:19,760 --> 02:01:22,200
Speaker 1: families hang out, your wives hang out. But this is

2211
02:01:22,240 --> 02:01:25,280
Speaker 1: the COVID year, and so these guys aren't getting together.

2212
02:01:25,440 --> 02:01:28,680
Speaker 1: But you saw it from the day Sean McDermott. To

2213
02:01:28,680 --> 02:01:31,160
Speaker 1: answer your questions, specifically, Chris, from the day that Sean

2214
02:01:31,240 --> 02:01:34,760
Speaker 1: McDermott came in, he took actionable steps to try and

2215
02:01:34,880 --> 02:01:38,120
Speaker 1: bring everybody closer. Never in my time in Buffalo did

2216
02:01:38,160 --> 02:01:41,800
Speaker 1: a head coach have individual guys twice a week go

2217
02:01:41,960 --> 02:01:43,760
Speaker 1: in front of the team and talk about why they

2218
02:01:43,800 --> 02:01:46,480
Speaker 1: play football, why they play so hard. Tell us about

2219
02:01:46,520 --> 02:01:49,960
Speaker 1: your family, tell us about you know, your wife, your girlfriend,

2220
02:01:50,040 --> 02:01:53,000
Speaker 1: your kids, whatever it may be, your mom, your grandma,

2221
02:01:53,160 --> 02:01:56,080
Speaker 1: your dad, And we started learning about each other. We

2222
02:01:56,200 --> 02:01:58,120
Speaker 1: cared about each other. Maybe you play a little hard

2223
02:01:58,160 --> 02:02:01,280
Speaker 1: for someone for someone else on game day, maybe you

2224
02:02:01,440 --> 02:02:05,400
Speaker 1: understand what someone's going through, so you don't have the

2225
02:02:05,520 --> 02:02:09,040
Speaker 1: bickering throughout a team. And honestly, I became a fan

2226
02:02:09,160 --> 02:02:11,480
Speaker 1: of so many guys on the team because as an

2227
02:02:11,520 --> 02:02:13,600
Speaker 1: offensive line and I'm you know, we have our O

2228
02:02:13,760 --> 02:02:17,320
Speaker 1: line group in the offense meetings and all that. Like,

2229
02:02:17,440 --> 02:02:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm not in a meeting very often with a defensive back. Well,

2230
02:02:21,040 --> 02:02:23,560
Speaker 1: when I get to hear their story and hear why

2231
02:02:23,680 --> 02:02:27,120
Speaker 1: they play so hard, some adversity that they've been through,

2232
02:02:27,280 --> 02:02:30,480
Speaker 1: one that gives me a conversational starter. As a captain

2233
02:02:30,560 --> 02:02:33,080
Speaker 1: of the team in twenty seventeen, I can talk to

2234
02:02:33,200 --> 02:02:35,360
Speaker 1: someone and refer to their girlfriend or their wife by

2235
02:02:35,400 --> 02:02:39,200
Speaker 1: their first name. I can understand, you know, how I

2236
02:02:39,240 --> 02:02:41,880
Speaker 1: can be praying for somebody, whatever may be. Sean takes

2237
02:02:41,960 --> 02:02:45,320
Speaker 1: actionable steps to bring the team together, and you could

2238
02:02:45,400 --> 02:02:47,880
Speaker 1: see it. You could see it on the sidelines, you

2239
02:02:47,960 --> 02:02:52,640
Speaker 1: could see it the way they share press conferences afterwards,

2240
02:02:52,720 --> 02:02:55,360
Speaker 1: the way they talk about each other. It's it's evident,

2241
02:02:56,000 --> 02:02:59,360
Speaker 1: and Sean is not the only coaching pro sports to

2242
02:02:59,440 --> 02:03:02,800
Speaker 1: do it. But the ones that don't are missing out

2243
02:03:02,960 --> 02:03:06,600
Speaker 1: because you know, people will say, hey, culture is overrated,

2244
02:03:06,960 --> 02:03:09,960
Speaker 1: it's about the X. It's about the Jimmy's and Joe's

2245
02:03:10,000 --> 02:03:12,280
Speaker 1: and the Xes and oos. You know, we don't need

2246
02:03:12,320 --> 02:03:16,040
Speaker 1: to worry about this culture deal, Like, find the best players,

2247
02:03:16,160 --> 02:03:20,480
Speaker 1: get the best coordinators, and let's roll. Like I always

2248
02:03:20,560 --> 02:03:23,879
Speaker 1: go back to the team with the Colts that drafted

2249
02:03:23,920 --> 02:03:27,160
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck and made the playoffs off with I don't

2250
02:03:27,200 --> 02:03:30,600
Speaker 1: want to say a bad roster, but they lost enough

2251
02:03:30,640 --> 02:03:32,560
Speaker 1: games to get the number one pick in the draft

2252
02:03:32,600 --> 02:03:36,240
Speaker 1: the year before. But Chuck Fagano gets cancer and everybody

2253
02:03:36,320 --> 02:03:39,240
Speaker 1: buys in and everyone plays hard together and they make

2254
02:03:39,320 --> 02:03:42,680
Speaker 1: this magical run. There is something too, playing for a

2255
02:03:42,920 --> 02:03:47,200
Speaker 1: bigger cause, you know, a bigger underlying theme of the season.

2256
02:03:47,280 --> 02:03:51,120
Speaker 1: And what Sean McDermott does each and every meeting is

2257
02:03:51,200 --> 02:03:55,040
Speaker 1: just pushes the why, pushes the buy and pushes the culture.

2258
02:03:55,400 --> 02:03:58,520
Speaker 1: And eventually you get a lot of guys that genuinely

2259
02:03:58,600 --> 02:04:01,920
Speaker 1: love each other and genuinely love playing football together. And

2260
02:04:02,040 --> 02:04:04,760
Speaker 1: they've also identified a lot of guys which they call

2261
02:04:04,800 --> 02:04:08,440
Speaker 1: their DNA, that will naturally get along together because hard

2262
02:04:08,480 --> 02:04:12,440
Speaker 1: workers respect hard workers, and these guys respect each other

2263
02:04:12,520 --> 02:04:16,240
Speaker 1: as well, and it's just created an awesome culture there.

2264
02:04:16,520 --> 02:04:18,680
Speaker 1: All right, that's a good note to end on. Eric

2265
02:04:18,760 --> 02:04:21,040
Speaker 1: so we will leave it there, but we will catch

2326
02:07:58,600 --> 02:07:59,880

2327
02:08:00,080 --> 02:08:05,240
Speaker 1: to handle Steve Tasker's conciliary. And either that or it's

02:08:05,280 --> 02:08:08,440
Speaker 1: gonna be uh, it might be chilly one or the other.

2329
02:08:08,560 --> 02:08:11,200

2346
02:09:07,280 --> 02:09:10,040
Speaker 1: a couple of the tweets that we got brought to

2347
02:09:10,080 --> 02:09:13,200
Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company

2348
02:09:13,200 --> 02:09:16,160
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills, because we've been asking all day,

2349
02:09:16,240 --> 02:09:18,680
Speaker 1: what's your favorite part about this Bill's Team? Tom says,

2350
02:09:19,120 --> 02:09:22,880
Speaker 1: winning the AFC's championship speaks for itself. It's how they

2351
02:09:23,000 --> 02:09:25,920
Speaker 1: got here, beginning with Terry and Kim purchasing the franchise

2352
02:09:26,280 --> 02:09:28,720
Speaker 1: and setting in place of culture headed by their hiring

2353
02:09:28,760 --> 02:09:32,760
Speaker 1: of Brandon and Sean. Their leadership and decision making cemented

2354
02:09:32,840 --> 02:09:36,960
Speaker 1: that championship culture. Um, Steve and to read that one

2355
02:09:37,040 --> 02:09:39,000
Speaker 1: from Eli, now, Eli, right now? The best part of

2356
02:09:39,040 --> 02:09:43,080
Speaker 1: this Bill's Team Steve Tasker's video, nothing else. Steve went

2357
02:09:43,120 --> 02:09:45,560
Speaker 1: to a different stratosphere with that. I still get the

2358
02:09:45,680 --> 02:09:51,040
Speaker 1: chills from it. That funny. That's yeah, Steve, you are

2359
02:09:51,120 --> 02:09:54,000
Speaker 1: famous all over again in such a much different way.

2360
02:09:54,160 --> 02:09:58,120
Speaker 1: Right awesome. Yeah, this one's less pain painful, that's for sure.

2361
02:09:58,560 --> 02:10:01,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, the it's great because everybody wants you know,

2362
02:10:01,680 --> 02:10:04,680
Speaker 1: in this day and age, the hype videos are a thing, right,

2363
02:10:04,840 --> 02:10:07,280
Speaker 1: So well, yeah, you know, when you put one out there,

2364
02:10:07,440 --> 02:10:09,920
Speaker 1: if it hit it and they did, I mean the crew.

2365
02:10:10,160 --> 02:10:13,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they plugged it out there as soon as

2366
02:10:13,560 --> 02:10:15,320
Speaker 1: the game was over. They started they released it. And

2367
02:10:15,440 --> 02:10:17,440
Speaker 1: this one's gonna have some legs. It's got some it's

2368
02:10:17,480 --> 02:10:19,120
Speaker 1: got some shelf life here. This is good for the

2369
02:10:19,160 --> 02:10:21,680
Speaker 1: next few weeks. Yeah, it's get to the most season. Yeah,

2370
02:10:21,720 --> 02:10:23,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be good for the next few weeks. And

2371
02:10:23,200 --> 02:10:26,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this too, if you can, if it

2372
02:10:26,560 --> 02:10:30,400
Speaker 1: falls the right way, Buffalo could well get two playoff

2373
02:10:30,520 --> 02:10:33,320
Speaker 1: home playoff games, could easily get two home playoff If

2374
02:10:33,360 --> 02:10:35,960
Speaker 1: the Steelers lose tonight. The door is open. We're in.

2375
02:10:36,440 --> 02:10:38,680
Speaker 1: The door is open. If you keep winning, You're gonna

2376
02:10:38,760 --> 02:10:41,640
Speaker 1: keep playing here until you get to the championship game,

2377
02:10:42,640 --> 02:10:46,360
Speaker 1: unless the unthinkable happens and to chief one of their games.

2378
02:10:46,440 --> 02:10:49,360
Speaker 1: But the simple fact of the matter is, um there's

2379
02:10:49,400 --> 02:10:51,160
Speaker 1: a good chance the Bills may play here twice if

2380
02:10:51,200 --> 02:10:55,880
Speaker 1: they can keep winning. And that's I think important. That

2381
02:10:56,040 --> 02:10:58,120
Speaker 1: may be as big a reason as anything that Sean

2382
02:10:58,200 --> 02:11:00,160
Speaker 1: McDermott keeps his foot on the gas pedal with his

2383
02:11:00,240 --> 02:11:02,920
Speaker 1: personnel in the last two games, Because the way that

2384
02:11:03,200 --> 02:11:06,280
Speaker 1: the Steelers are playing right now, you gotta think they'll

2385
02:11:06,320 --> 02:11:08,600
Speaker 1: beat the Cincinnati Bengals tonight on Monday Night football. But

2386
02:11:08,640 --> 02:11:11,960
Speaker 1: they got Indianapolis next week and that they still fight.

2387
02:11:12,160 --> 02:11:15,680
Speaker 1: That opens a door that may be too enticing for

2388
02:11:17,200 --> 02:11:19,480
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott to take his foot off the gas for

2389
02:11:19,600 --> 02:11:21,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Well, he'll also have the

2390
02:11:21,440 --> 02:11:24,080
Speaker 1: benefit of playing Monday night, so he will not only

2391
02:11:24,200 --> 02:11:26,720
Speaker 1: know obviously what happens tonight, but he'll know what happens

2392
02:11:26,760 --> 02:11:30,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday and can make plans accordingly based on whether

2393
02:11:30,600 --> 02:11:33,360
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh wins or loses. So he'll have that advantage With

2394
02:11:33,440 --> 02:11:35,840
Speaker 1: an extra day to mullet over break time for us,

2395
02:11:35,880 --> 02:11:38,440
Speaker 1: we'll come back with what if we learned? Thanks everybody

2396
