Speaker 1: Finding the way. Find the way every week. Coolo Buffalo Bill,
Speaker 1: no overthinking. All right, go play football. We'll play some football.
Speaker 1: Exciting time to be a Buffalo build of the fan
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Welcome into Week ten of the
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott Show, presented by Connors and Ferris, your workers
Speaker 1: comp attorneys. I'm Steve Taskin once again. I'm pleased to
Speaker 1: be joined by the head coach of the Buffalo Bill,
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. Coach, thanks for joining us. I know you
Speaker 1: suffered a tough loss on the road in Jacksonville, where
Speaker 1: your defense really kept you in it, but your offense
Speaker 1: couldn't get it rolling. What is your message to a
Speaker 1: team right now as you move forward into week ten, Well,
Speaker 1: it's it's we got to We've got to adjust. We've
Speaker 1: got to make adjustments that are necessary for us to
Speaker 1: move forward as a football team and improve as a
Speaker 1: football team. And we've got some things that we have
Speaker 1: to do better if we expect to play better. Right
Speaker 1: your defense held the Jacksonville offense just two hundred and
Speaker 1: eighteen yards and nine points. You guys had two sacks,
Speaker 1: force to turnover just wasn't enough. That's kind of right
Speaker 1: in line where your defense has been all year. It
Speaker 1: still ranks first in the league. How do you take
Speaker 1: positives out of a tough loss that like that and
Speaker 1: apply it to the whole team, not just one side
Speaker 1: of the defense or the offense. Yeah, well, it's important
Speaker 1: it doesn't become this side versus that side. We are
Speaker 1: one team and there were complimentary parts of the game
Speaker 1: that even defensively, we didn't provide enough for our offense.
Speaker 1: And those are things our defense can look at and say, hey,
Speaker 1: we could have done more without pressing going forward, it's
Speaker 1: important that they understand that. Right. Josh is having a
Speaker 1: great year so far. Big part of that has been
Speaker 1: the fact that he's been taking care of the football,
Speaker 1: and against the Jacks he turned it over three times,
Speaker 1: he had two picks and a fumble. He was on
Speaker 1: the run a lot, got sacked four times. What lessons
Speaker 1: you think Josh can take from this game personally, Well,
Speaker 1: I would say number one, try not to do too much,
Speaker 1: do your job, do your one to eleventh as we say,
Speaker 1: and trust the teammates around you that they're they're gonna
Speaker 1: make the plays. And that's probably one. The other thing
Speaker 1: is I think for our overall team as well as
Speaker 1: Josh's just continuing to understand that the ball is a
Speaker 1: great equalizer, much like fundamentals and technique, and if you
Speaker 1: don't do them and take care of them in this case,
Speaker 1: or use them at a high level, it can change
Speaker 1: games fast. Now it's halfway point of the season. You're
Speaker 1: obviously dealing with some injuries. At this point of the year,
Speaker 1: with Spinter Brown missing his second straight game. John Feliciano's
Speaker 1: on injury reserve. You've got Ike butt Ker and Cody
Speaker 1: Forward starting at your guard spots. Darryl Williams get kicked
Speaker 1: back out to tackle. What's the key to overcoming all
Speaker 1: these injuries you're dealing with, particularly in one position group,
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Well, I think it's mindset more than anything, Steve.
Speaker 1: It's how bad you want it and what are you
Speaker 1: willing to do to get the results you're looking for.
Speaker 1: I mean, no one's gonna come and rescue us or
Speaker 1: throw us a life raft in terms of trying to
Speaker 1: rescue us from this situation. We're going through it. Every
Speaker 1: team goes through it at some point during the season,
Speaker 1: and this is no different than last year, even though
Speaker 1: last year, looking back seems so clean. There was adversity
Speaker 1: last year like there is this year, and so we've
Speaker 1: got our leaders got to step up. I've got to
Speaker 1: step up. And then we've got a former response for
Speaker 1: this week. Well, your offense had a season low of
Speaker 1: seventy two yards on the ground, and once again, Josh
Speaker 1: was your leading rusher with fifty yards, most of which
Speaker 1: came when he scrambled. Devin Singletary only had sixteen rushing
Speaker 1: yards and Moss had six, but he left the game
Speaker 1: with an injury early. What have you seen from your
Speaker 1: rushing offense this year? What's your process to start coaching
Speaker 1: and your coaching staff that address some of the issues there. Well,
Speaker 1: number one, we've got to give him a chance playing
Speaker 1: and simple, We've got to we've got to give him
Speaker 1: more opportunities to run the ball. It's not always going
Speaker 1: to be six yards a carry or ten yards a carry.
Speaker 1: Sometimes a running game takes a little bit. It takes
Speaker 1: a little bit to get going. And so just opportunities
Speaker 1: number one, and then number two is when given the opportunity,
Speaker 1: we got to make it go. And that starts up
Speaker 1: front and then goes into our back killed as well. Well,
Speaker 1: you guys, weren't the loan upset on Sunday. In fact,
Speaker 1: three other teams, Denver, Kansas City, and the New York Giants.
Speaker 1: They each entered Week nine with a sub five hundred
Speaker 1: winning percentage and defeated a team that it began the
Speaker 1: day in first place in the division. So the first
Speaker 1: time this has happened in ten years. And what does
Speaker 1: this say about how tough it is to win in
Speaker 1: the NFL? Yeah, nothing that you and I already don't know.
Speaker 1: But overall, another reminder just how the league is shaped,
Speaker 1: how the parody of the league makes it such a
Speaker 1: week to week league, and every team has good players. Coaches,
Speaker 1: what have you? You got to come out to play
Speaker 1: and look to improve every week? Yeah? Thanks, coach. We're
Speaker 1: gonna catch up with you later in the show to
Speaker 1: get your final thoughts on your upcoming matchup with the Jets.
Speaker 1: The game plan is presented by Energy Marketing, the official
Speaker 1: energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills. Game tree view is
Speaker 1: presented by Independent Health. You deserve the red shirt treatment,
Speaker 1: Mattie glab here with this week's game preview. The five
Speaker 1: and three Bills are heading to New Jersey to take
Speaker 1: on the two and six Jets in a Week ten matchup.
Speaker 1: The Jets are averaging eighteen points per game, which ranks
Speaker 1: twenty seventh. They have the fourteenth best passing offense and
Speaker 1: the third worst rushing offense. They don't have one player
Speaker 1: known as the guy because they like to spread the ball.
Speaker 1: No running back or wide receiver has more than three
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards. The Jets have the worst defense
Speaker 1: in the NFL, allowing thirty one point four points per
Speaker 1: game and four hundred and eight point one total yards
Speaker 1: per game. They also only have one interception through eight games,
Speaker 1: which also ranks at the bottom of the league. After
Speaker 1: putting up just six points against the Jaguars, Buffalo falls
Speaker 1: to fourth, averaging twenty nine point four points per game.
Speaker 1: They still have the best turnover differential, which sits at
Speaker 1: plus eleven. Their passing offense ranks seventh, and their rushing
Speaker 1: offense is eleventh. Wide receiver Cole Beasley has been clutched
Speaker 1: for the Bills because of his catch ability. Beasley has
Speaker 1: caught seventy six point one percent of his passes from
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, which is fifth best among wide receivers. Another
Speaker 1: player who's been clutch on offense is Josh Allen. He
Speaker 1: leaves the NFL with forty eight total third down conversions.
Speaker 1: Buffalo's defense is the opposite of the Jets because they
Speaker 1: rank at the top of the league, allowing just fourteen
Speaker 1: point eight points per game and two hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: two point six yards per game, both are the lowest
Speaker 1: in the league. The group is also limiting opponents in
Speaker 1: the red zone by allowing touchdowns only forty point nine
Speaker 1: percent of the time, which is the best in the NFL.
Speaker 1: The Bills lead the series against Jets with sixty five
Speaker 1: wins and fifty six losses. That's this week's game preview,
Speaker 1: Steve back to you. Thanks as always, Maddie. Coach. You're
Speaker 1: facing a first time head coach for the third time
Speaker 1: this season, and this time it's Robert Salo with the Jets.
Speaker 1: He's beaten a couple of the best teams in the
Speaker 1: AFC in Tennessee Titans in the Cincinnati Bengals. What have
Speaker 1: you seen from this look New York Jets team under
Speaker 1: Roberts All, Well, they play with great energy and to
Speaker 1: your point, they've knocked off two very good football teams.
Speaker 1: I think they're trying to build a foundation and we
Speaker 1: expect obviously a tough challenge when we go over there
Speaker 1: in a divisional game at their place. So we've got
Speaker 1: to continue to improve, plenty of things to work on
Speaker 1: our end and get ourselves right and ready to go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everybody knows the importance of divisional games here in the NFL,
Speaker 1: but now you're just a half game up on the
Speaker 1: New England Patriots, and while you're not in a must
Speaker 1: win situation yet, this game feels like it has some
Speaker 1: added importance with the Patriots on a three game winning streak.
Speaker 1: How do you communicate the importance of this game and
Speaker 1: this divisional matchup with your team? Well, every game is important,
Speaker 1: as we were just reminded of last week, and so
Speaker 1: as we move forward, it's one week at a time,
Speaker 1: try and go one to know, respect the opponent, get
Speaker 1: ourselves ready to go and play at a high level.
Speaker 1: Thanks coach, good luck on Sunday. We'll be back next
Speaker 1: week to recap this game against the Jets and preview
Speaker 1: your week eleven matchup against the Colts. And to everybody
