12
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 2: right sideline, complete to Pickens, but he dropped the football

13
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 2: as he lunched forward for extra yardage. Top review.

14
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 4: The receiver satisfied all the elements of a catch.

15
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 5: It is a completion and a fumble recovered by Huffer.

16
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,280

00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,279

22
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: off in the end zone. Welcome back, kier Elos Flitz coming.

Speaker 2: the thirty five thirty breaks away twenty ten five touchdown.

26
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: Josh Allen, Yeah, give him a flex, Josh, you just

27
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: schooled them with their back turn for a huge touchdown.

28
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 3: Run the King come to light.

29
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: Tudor Cam Judah back to pass fires over the middle,

30
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: complete on a crossing route to Shakir, who gets away

31
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: from the tackler down to the.

32
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 3: Ten looking for the end zone and he's in Khalil.

33
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: Shakir did a disappearing act on the tackler, reversed his

34
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: field and found the end zone. Unbelievable set No.

35
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 2: Back to pass is Rudolph and it's off the hands

36
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: of George Pickens.

37
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: Incomplete, Dame Jackson in coverage and.

38
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: This one is over. The Bills emerge victorious with a

39
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: thirty one seventeen victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. They will

40
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: advance to the divisional round where they will host the

41
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs. Here on Sunday night at six thirty.

42
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: That is your Toshiba game rewind Toshiba, the official copier

43
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: company of the Buffalo Bills. Short week, short turnaround, but

44
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: the Bills win in pretty convincing fashion. They led wire

45
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: to wire. The Steelers closed to within seven in the

46
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: second half, but did not have the ball with a

47
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: chance to tie the game down seven. The Bills then

48
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: extended their lead after the Steelers cut it to seven,

49
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: and they end up winning by fourteen thirty one to seventeen.

50
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: And the Bills are now four and one in their

51
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: last five wild card games. They've won each of their

52
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: last four. They're only lost in twenty nineteen at Houston,

53
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: and the Bills are now twenty four and five in

54
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: December and January since twenty twenty. That is the best

55
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: record in the NFL. That's including playoff games, so four

56
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: straight wild card victories. They are now eight and one

57
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 2: at home this season. And Josh Allen in I mean,

58
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: we talk about him all the time, and understandably so Steve,

59
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: but Josh Allen in five career wild card games, leads

60
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 2: the NFL with sixteen total touchdowns. He has a one

61
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: to eleven point four rating. He's got thirteen passing three rushing.

62
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 2: He's averaging eight point one yards of carry on the ground.

63
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: He's averaging eight point three yards per attempt through the air.

64
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: I mean it just the amazing just continues. Like he

65
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: steps it up a notch in the postseason. You're not

66
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 2: sure if there's more he can do, and then he

67
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 2: goes out and does more.

68
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, then he wows you.

69
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 6: The thing about this game yesterday was the difference to

70
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 6: me was and it was a little bit like the

71
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 6: like the thirteen second game when Gabe Davis showed up big.

72
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 6: He had more guys helping him out. Kincaid knocks digs

73
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 6: of course, and then Shakir obviously James Cook with a

74
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 6: nice run. I mean, he had a ton of guys

75
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 6: clicking on offense. A lot of guys made significant, although

76
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 6: not a bunch of contributions, significant plays throughout the game

77
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 6: that gave Josh some relief, you know, and then he

78
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 6: snaps off. I gotta tell you, I've been It makes

79
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 6: me chuckle, and I don't know how to that fifty

80
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 6: two yard run in the which is the longest in

81
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 6: Bill's playoff history. He backs up and it's a passing play.

82
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 6: We've seen this million time. He's gonna come over, he's

83
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 6: gonna jump over and hurdle somebody right. This time, he

84
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 6: didn't hurdle somebody. He trucks the guy and then outruns

85
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 6: the defensive backfield of the Pittsburgh Steelers into the end zone.

86
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 2: And he pulls away, he pulls away from him.

87
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 6: So he trucks a guy who gets his kind of

88
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 6: tries to give him a upper body, you know, you know, shot,

89
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 6: he just trucks him over and just and he just

90
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 6: outruns everybody. Those plays are hard to describe from a

91
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 6: guy playing that position.

92
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: And next Gen Stats said he hit nineteen point three

93
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 2: three miles per hour on that run. It's not the

94
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: fastest he has ever run. He has eclipsed twenty miles

95
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 2: per hour on some long runs before.

96
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: In hard to do with layers on in the cold weather.

97
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: Well, right, but still nineteen point three three that's moving,

98
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: especially at two hundred and fifty pounds. And so the

99
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: bills are now seventeen to oh since twenty twenty. When

100
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 2: Josh Allen does not have a giveaway, you cannot beat

101
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 2: this team. When when they don't turn it over, you

102
00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: just can't.

103
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean they had and plus when he

104
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 6: when they don't turn it over, plus they're getting content.

105
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 6: James Cook eighteen for seventy nine. Josh had eight for

106
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 6: seventy four with the fifty two are in there, though.

107
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 6: Ty Johnson chipped in eight for twenty six.

108
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 2: Some key carries at the end when they were trying

109
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: to salt it away too.

110
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 6: Kinkaid uncharacteristically, King Kid had six targets, only three receptions,

111
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 6: which is below his you know kind of catch Josh

112
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 6: missed him once. Yeah, then you gotta remember Digs. Nine targets,

113
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 6: seven catches. Jontay Hardy had the enormous thirty four yarder

114
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 6: that was amazing, really nice, really nice played by him.

115
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 6: Shakir three targets, three catches, which you kind of almost

116
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 6: one hundred percent. He's leading the NFL folks in catch percentage. Yep,

117
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 6: you throw it to him, the ball is caught. He's

118
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 6: leading the NFL is over eighty five percent of his targets.

119
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: That's on the season. On the season, he's one hundred percent.

120
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: The last five games in which he's been target he

121
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: hasn't dropped.

122
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: A ball in a month in a game.

123
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 6: Latavius Murray two for two, Dawson Knox one catch for

124
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 6: two targets.

125
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: Here we go.

126
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 6: James Cook four catches, four targets. I mean, yeah, and

127
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 6: I'll say this the Andy Isabella. He had one target

128
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 6: and it was a bad throw because Josh was a

129
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 6: screen pass and they were on his fan and he

130
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 6: couldn't get the ball on Isabella. If he hits Isabella,

131
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 6: that is a big play.

132
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: And they just miss.

133
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Bills were in control of that game, and

134
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 6: it felt like it throughout the first half, and then

135
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 6: in the second half, like you said, Pittsburgh got it

136
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 6: to seven and he felt like, come on, and they did.

137
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 6: I mean, they answered with a score. And I said

138
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 6: this on on Bills tonight and also in the in

139
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 6: the postgame live. All the good the well as well

140
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 6: as the defense played with all the injuries and the offense,

141
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 6: the points they scored, they really eclipsed and made you

142
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 6: forget about a really tough night.

143
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: On the field goal extra point front, they had.

144
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 6: One blocked in their face, lost their punter to a

145
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 6: hammy on that on the block field goal, and then

146
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 6: missed one late to put it to seventeen, which would

147
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 6: have absolutely ended the game with five minutes to play,

148
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 6: and they they missed the field goal. That's that's the

149
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 6: downside of the entire night. Was a missed, two missed

150
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 6: field goals, one missed and one block. Other than that,

151
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 6: this game was never in doubt, never in doubt.

152
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think the other thing, and I don't

153
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: know how you felt about this, but it seemed like

154
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 2: the Steelers defense game planned for James Cook because wherever

155
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: he was, they had two guys in the vicinity. As

156
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 2: soon as he flared out into the flat, they had

157
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 2: like two three guys over there. Because you look at

158
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: his stat line at the end, he's like, man, he

159
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: had four catches for five yards. They were swarming him

160
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 2: when he was even a remote thought of getting the ball.

161
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 2: The problem is they forgot about everybody.

162
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 6: Else, Yeah, particularly King Kaden Knox early in the early

163
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 6: going the throat they got the turnover. The two turnovers

164
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 6: were absolutely enormous for the Bills defense. The Steelers are

165
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 6: were hanging in games down the end with Mason Rudolph

166
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 6: because they didn't turn it over and they played solid

167
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 6: defense and TJ. Watt was a great player. Well, they

168
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 6: didn't have what and then they turned it over. The

169
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 6: game was done, and you know they get the Bills

170
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 6: get the turnover and they go right on the very

171
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 6: next play from scrimmage, they hit Kincaid right down the scene.

172
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 6: I mean it was an It looked easy, but man

173
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 6: to manipulate the defense, get them where they where they

174
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 6: wanted to get him, and have Josh looked the safety

175
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 6: off and then zing it right on the money. I mean,

176
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 6: that is its elite play. And that's when you knew

177
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 6: this Bills team was on it. I thought I had

178
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 6: some doubts as to how they were going to handle

179
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 6: the twenty four hours delay. Being the home team, it's

180
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 6: not so easy to say, well, they're at home, it's

181
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 6: gonna be great. It's not that easy. It's not that easy.

182
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 6: You got all the like we talked about all through

183
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 6: the pregame yesterday on the roundtable and everything.

184
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: These guys' personal lives.

185
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 6: In the playoffs kind of escalate because everybody you know, tickets, family,

186
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 6: former teammates, college buddies, former coaches, everybody you know wants

187
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 6: to reach out and say hey, congratulations and all that

188
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 6: want to come to the game. And then to have

189
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 6: that put off for twenty four hours, where you got

190
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 6: to handle that stuff even another day, I thought maybe

191
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 6: it might lend itself to have the Bills come out

192
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 6: a little flat or a little slow. Not so they

193
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 6: handled it really well and man oh Man, Yeah, that

194
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 6: Josh was once again as good as player as there

195
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 6: is in the NFL.

196
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 2: As we know, quarterback Josh Allen led the NFL this

197
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 2: year in offensive yards and offensive touchdowns. Quarterbacks that do

198
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: that in the regular season, counting Josh's win yesterday, are

199
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: now six and zero all time in the wild card

200
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: round of the playoffs. Four of the last five quarterbacks

201
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 2: to have done that have at least made it to

202
00:11:54,120 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 2: the conference title game. Patrick Mahomes last year, Tom Rady

203
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: in twenty one, Patrick Mahomes in twenty eighteen, Andrew luck

204
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: in twenty fourteen, Peyton Manning in twenty thirteen. That's your list, uh,

205
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 2: and Josh is now on it.

206
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: UH.

207
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 2: Eight h three five point fifty one eight eight eight

208
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 2: five point fifty two five fifty is the number to

209
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: get on board with us as we want your biggest

210
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 2: takeaways from the bills thirty one seventeen win over the Steelers.

211
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: There is the drawback that came out of this game,

212
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: and that was the injury list, which got lengthier, particularly

213
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: on the defensive side of the ball. As we know,

214
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: the Bills went into the game with out linebacker Tyrrell

215
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 2: Dodson cornerback Rasuell Douglas. They were questionable going into the

216
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 2: game but not fit to suit up and play. And

217
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 2: then the replacement for Dodson, Baylen Specter, goes out with

218
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: a back injury as he's recovering a fumble that he

219
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: recovered in bounds.

220
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: Did we ever get an explanations what they saw?

221
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 2: They did rule it a fumble. Initially it was a fumble,

222
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 2: but they they claimed he fumbled it out of bounds.

223
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 2: Now watching it on replay, there was no point in

224
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: time where Friarmuth, after making contact with the sideline, made

225
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: contact again with the ball after fumbling, so it's not

226
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: out of bounds there. So then it becomes a question

227
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: of Baylenspector recovers the fumble, is he still in bounds

228
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 2: when he has possession? Obviously the refs felt he did not. Unfortunately,

229
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 2: on that play though, Spector takes a knee in the

230
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: back from a defensive back trying to close on the

231
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 2: loose ball as well, and he leaves the game. He

232
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: came back briefly, but then ultimately leaves the game injured.

233
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 2: So then aj Klein comes in to play alongside Terrell Bernard.

234
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 2: Bernard gets hurt with an ankle injury. He leaves the

235
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 2: game on a cart. Now NFL Networks see in rapaport

236
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: last night was reporting that X rays on Terrell Bernard's

237
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: ankle were negative, but he is having an MRI today,

238
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: which can often give a much much better picture of

239
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 2: the area for a more accurate diagnosis. I anticipate that

240
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: we'll have an update from head coach Sean McDermott when

241
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: he addresses the media at four o'clock this afternoon, not

242
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: only on Bernard, but a slew of other players because

243
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 2: Christian Benford left the game with a knee injury and

244
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: did not return. Tarren Johnson left the game to be

245
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: examined for a head injury, did not return, and then

246
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: we all saw Sam Martin unfortunately pull his hamstring running

247
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: after a block kick that got sent into Buffalo territory

248
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: and about after thirty yards he pulled up lame with

249
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: a left hamstring pull. So that is the rundown of

250
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: injured players now, Steve, there is a part of me

251
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: that is hoping that some of these injuries would took

252
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 2: place later in the game. They chose to air on

253
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 2: the side of caution and not try to reinsert those

254
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 2: players because the Bills had control of the game at

255
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: that point in time. There were a couple of injuries

256
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: that happened while the Bills were up twenty four to ten,

257
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 2: you know, late third quarter.

258
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: That's my hope, right.

259
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 6: Connor McGovern left the game, came yeah, came back and

260
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 6: he helped off. Came back in same thing with Leonard Floyd.

261
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 6: He came off as like, I mean, the last guy

262
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 6: you want. I mean, that would have been catastrophic. He

263
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 6: came back in the game. He got a stinger and

264
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 6: he came back.

265
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: In the game.

266
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: Oh is that what it was called?

267
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't. It looked like it to me.

268
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: It was holding his hand and it was holding his arm.

269
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 6: Limp at his side, and he can't and he I

270
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 6: don't know, who knows what it was. Nevertheless, he's he

271
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 6: was back in the game. I don't know. Sam Martin,

272
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 6: here's the problem with Sam Martin. He holds for Tyler

273
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 6: Bass too. If you're gonna get a new punter, you

274
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 6: gotta get a new holder, and that means everything's up

275
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 6: in the air now you're already of course, then again,

276
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 6: It couldn't be worse than missing one and having one

277
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 6: block back in your kisser.

278
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 2: It was a short pitch, I mean, it was a

279
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: chip shot field goal attempt.

280
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 6: So that was a bad night. I don't know how

281
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 6: you can't do worse unless you missed the extra points too.

282
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 6: But that thing got It was a low sideways kick

283
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 6: and it was it was, yeah, well there you go.

284
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 6: They're gonna have to They're gonna have to figure that out.

285
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 6: It'll be interesting to see what what happens with because

286
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 6: Martin was immediately hurt.

287
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: And gotta give him credit.

288
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: He punted once with a pulled hamstring forty five yard punt,

289
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: no return, and looking at the kick again, it was

290
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 2: clear that it was a very low trajectory on the kick.

291
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 2: And Steve and I were talking about this before before

292
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 2: we came on the air, and I did see that

293
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: bass he was warming up before the game. It looked

294
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 2: like he was trying to adjust his swing to compensate

295
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: for the cold weather and the fact that the ball

296
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: is a rock. There's no secret the ball doesn't travel

297
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 2: as far this kind of weather because it's freezing and

298
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 2: the ball hardens and it's a rock. There's not as

299
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 2: much give when the foot strikes it, so I can understand.

300
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 2: It just seemed to me he was trying to maybe

301
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 2: hit it harder, and sometimes when you do that, you

302
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 2: can impact the consistency of your swing.

303
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, anytime you're changing when you hit it harder, usually

304
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 6: hit it lower, you're gonna get different results. I mean

305
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 6: you're gonna you know, that's.

306
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: He's got enough leg strength even with a cold ball

307
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 2: on a cold day, to just kick it regular, don't

308
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 2: you think.

309
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, But here's the thing. When it feels different, you

310
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 6: want to adjust and you want to get it to

311
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 6: where it feels comfortable for you. And so it's but

312
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 6: I agree with you. You gotta when it's cold like that,

313
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 6: it's going to feel different coming off your foot, and

314
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 6: when you're getting into the ball and planning it, the

315
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 6: whole thing is going to be a diff for an operation.

316
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 6: So I get it that it was didn't feel right

317
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 6: to him and he was uncomfortable with it. When you're

318
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 6: uncomfortable with it, you want to get comfortable and then

319
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 6: you know, so you start tinkering right away and then

320
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 6: all of a sudden you're inconsistent. That's it's a problem,

321
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 6: and that's one thing. That's one way the conditions, you know,

322
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 6: affect the game. It's because it affects guys between their ears.

323
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: Eight oh three oh five point fifty one eighty eight

324
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 2: five fifty two five fifty the number to get on board,

325
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 2: give us your biggest takeaways from the Bill's wild card

326
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: playoff win over the Steelers, and uh, just to give

327
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: you a rundown on what we've got today. It's obviously

328
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: an abbreviated version of a Buffalo Victory Tuesday, as we

329
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 2: only have two hours instead of three as we usually

330
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 2: do on Mondays after Bill's games, and coming up in

331
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 2: about ten twelve minutes, we'll have our colleague Matty g

332
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 2: Lab for the Maddie Awards, so be good to see

333
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 2: her again because that whenever we see her in studio,

334
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: that means the Bills won a foot, so that's a

335
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 2: good thing. And then second hour of the show, my

336
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 2: broadcast partner Eric Wood will join us for his thoughts

337
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 2: on the bills victory over the Steelers late yesterday afternoon.

338
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 2: But let's crack open the tweet sheet to start things

339
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 2: while calls roll in at eight three ZHO five to

340
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: fifty and tweet sheet as always is brought to you

341
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of

342
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills, and Brian says the biggest takeaway is

343
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 2: this team is very resilient and well coached. That showed yesterday.

344
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 2: I'd like the offense to sustain a few more drives,

345
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 2: but they answered when they needed to just win and advance,

346
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: and nobody's looking for style points anymore. Do you notice that,

347
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 2: Steve when the team, when this Bill team was running

348
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: off and leaving people the last couple of years, in

349
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 2: a game where they like won by six points, they're like, ah,

350
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 2: what's wrong with this team?

351
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, ah my god.

352
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 2: And it's just like they did still win the game, right,

353
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 2: And nowadays people are like, just win, Just just win

354
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: the game. I don't care how it looks. Just win

355
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 2: the game.

356
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 6: This is a team that has lost so many games

357
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 6: by such in such crazy ways. There's so many different

358
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 6: ways they've self inflicted losses. So most people just just

359
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 6: just get out of here with a win and let's

360
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,719
Speaker 6: move on. I think that's kind of where Bill's Mafia

361
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 6: is right now. Just just win and thank you. And

362
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 6: they they're kind of resigned to the fact that they're

363
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 6: going to be you know, you need pepto bismo throughout

364
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 6: the entire game, and you know right, So I think

365
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 6: you're right, brownie. Nobody you're not hearing anything about style

366
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 6: points these days now, and I'm going to get the

367
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 6: t shirt out.

368
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: You got to play well on that day. It doesn't matter.

369
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,959
Speaker 6: It didn't matter that the Bills were favored, that they

370
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 6: were probably a better team top to bottom than Steelers yesterday,

371
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 6: None of that matters. You got to play well on

372
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 6: that day because if you know, if you fumble the ball,

373
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 6: if you turn it over and they get a freaky

374
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 6: touch down and they come out and they squeak out

375
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 6: a win, you're still going home. It doesn't matter if

376
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 6: you're a better team. You gotta play well on the day.

377
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: Of the game.

378
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 6: The Bills did that yesterday, in high fact, in fine fashion.

379
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 6: They look good in every phase, like I say, except

380
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 6: for the field goal unit. This game coming up and

381
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 6: we're not really ready to turn the page yet, but

382
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 6: same story. Just play well and just play better than

383
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 6: those guys now.

384
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 2: Jeremy on the tweet, she says, it is unbelievable what

385
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 2: our defense is doing with a ton of backups. It's

386
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 2: impressive and I love it. I do wish our normal

387
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 2: starters are with us, but it's just awesome to see.

388
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 2: I hope it continues. I know the hope at least

389
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 2: going into this week's game is that Radeuell Douglas and

390
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 2: Tyrrel Dotson can return to the lineup. As we said earlier,

391
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 2: they were both questionable. Terror Zuel Douglas Rasul Douglas spoke

392
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 2: to a reporter in the locker room after the game

393
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 2: last night and said he will be good to go

394
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 2: this week coming off his knee injury. So hopefully that

395
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 2: proves to be the case. You get him back on

396
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 2: the field. If you can get Tyrel Dodson back on

397
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 2: the field, that could kind of lessen the blow of

398
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: the injuries you sustained in this week's game. Of course,

399
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 2: everybody's hoping for good news on Terrell Bernard and Tarren

400
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 2: Johnson specifically, because you're going against a much different passing

401
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 2: offense this week than you did last week.

402
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 6: And I'll say this too, I like, I said Pachecko

403
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 6: better than I like you know, Najie Harris and Warner.

404
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 6: I mean, I Warren Pachecko's a really good running back.

405
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 6: And the offensive line. When you got a running back

406
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 6: like the way Pachecko runs, the offensive lines picked up

407
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 6: a notch too. You know, they want to work hard

408
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 6: for him because he works. He runs so hard every play.

409
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 6: This group offensively obviously with Mahome, I mean this, this

410
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 6: offense is a different animal than one you just beat.

411
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 6: There's no I mean everybody, I gotta say it, but

412
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 6: everybody knows it. You know, Mason Rudolph and the Pittsburgh

413
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 6: Steelers and this season are not the offense even on

414
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 6: an off years perceived of the Kansas City Chiefs.

415
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: They're down a little bit from where they were.

416
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 6: They're light years ahead where the Steelers are. Yeah, so

417
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 6: you need guys like Dodson. You need guys like Taron

418
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 6: Johnson and Rasuell Douglas in the game. And I think

419
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 6: Taron Johnson will probably make it. He was getting he

420
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 6: got to evaluated, never really got it.

421
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 7: Well.

422
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: It happened so late in the game. We never got

423
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 2: a status like questionable to return, probable to return, doubtful

424
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 2: to return, or out. We just know he was getting it.

425
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: They shut him down head injury, best case scenario. They

426
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: shut him down. They said, you know, you know.

427
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 2: What wait till next week. We're gonna win the game.

428
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: You're not going back in.

429
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go to the phones at eight oh three

430
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 2: oh five fifty and we lead off today with Cindy

431
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 2: and Niagara Falls. What do you got for Cindy?

432
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 8: Hi, guys, Happy New Year. And I'm just still wondering

433
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 8: what they're doing with von Miller. I don't get it.

434
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 8: They wasted camp money on him, and you never hear

435
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 8: his name mentioned even when he's in, and they need

436
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 8: to get rid of him and get somebody younger.

437
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: Thank you, this all right, Cindy. I don't know. He

438
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: had two pressures on the final drive.

439
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 6: He whacked He whacked Mason Rudolph right in a mouth

440
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 6: on that last when he rolled out. Didn't get him

441
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 6: wrapped up. I am not as down, I gotta say it.

442
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 6: I'm and I know we talk about him all the time.

443
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 6: We're one Bill's Live and we're guys in the building,

444
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 6: so I get it. We're we're slanted vastly towards the

445
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 6: team and the players. I'll say this, I am not

446
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 6: down on Vaughan like everybody else, like a lot of

447
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 6: people are not everybody, but a lot of people like Cindy,

448
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 6: I am not down on him. I still think he's

449
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 6: going to help us down the stretch.

450
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: I really do.

451
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 6: I think he's going to come through, and I think

452
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 6: he's going to rebound and come back better. And I'm

453
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 6: and I this last every time I watch him, specifically,

454
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 6: I don't watch him that much because I'm always into there.

455
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't even mind the I don't

456
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: even watch the rotation.

457
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 6: But last, late in that game, he's showing some stuff

458
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 6: I don't I'm not gonna say he's laying in the weeds.

459
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 6: He's gonna explode in these deep in the playoffs. Now

460
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 6: he's gonna come on and play great and all. Now,

461
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 6: I don't know, But I still I still got faith

462
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 6: in him that he's gonna be a really good player

463
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 6: for this team going forward. I'm not ready to kick

464
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 6: him to the curb. And I know a lot of

465
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 6: people are. And he hasn't been on the stat sheet.

466
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 6: He's coming off the ACL and people are impatient with him,

467
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 6: and they're not, you know, they're not ready to, you know,

468
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 6: let him off the hook for not playing as well

469
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 6: as he should and all the other stuff that's gone

470
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 6: on in his life. I'm not throwing dirt on him.

471
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 6: I still think he brings something to the table, and

472
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 6: I think he's gonna show it and in these playoffs

473
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 6: in this season.

474
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 2: And more importantly, it's difficult for them to get out

475
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 2: of the contract until twenty twenty five off season. So,

476
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 2: in all likelihood, unless they both come to the table

477
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 2: after this season and say we got to make a

478
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: change and agree on mutual compensation adjustments, he's probably gonna

479
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 2: be here through next season.

480
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: Uh.

481
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: Just for what it's worth, let's go to Kathy in

482
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: north Tonawanda next week. Got for his Kathy.

483
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 9: Hi, I'm Steve Kathy's husband.

484
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough. What do you got to see?

485
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 7: Well?

486
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 9: With with our punter being a hamstring problem? Why why

487
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 9: don't we go back to that young kid that we

488
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 9: had last year that had legal problems. I understand he's

489
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 9: been acquitted of those charges and looking to get back

490
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 9: in the NFL.

491
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, mattri Risa, Yeah, we were knocking that around the

492
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 2: office this morning.

493
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: You are right.

494
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 2: He is cleared of his legal cases, no charges, no

495
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 2: pending charges.

496
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 6: He was even resolved, he was exonerated, and I get it.

497
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 2: I wouldn't rule it out.

498
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would neither got to get somebody and he

499
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 6: at least he's been here for a minute and held

500
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 6: for Bass. I'm not saying it's gonna happen and got

501
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 6: to do it, but I want to see how Sam

502
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 6: Martin's doing, because I am very hesitant to throw in

503
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 6: another holder. And you're certainly not gonna keep Sam Martin

504
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 6: around to hold while Mattterriza punch. You ain't got a

505
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 6: roster spots for the space for that, so that's not

506
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 6: gonna happen. It's a hard thing right now because you're

507
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 6: switching out two people, two roles on the team, not

508
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 6: just one. So you don't need Tyler Bass having a

509
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 6: night this coming Sunday like he had last night.

510
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here, but we'll get

511
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,480

538
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 10: I mean, this guy is not from planet Earth. I

539
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 10: don't know where we found him, but I'm glad we

540
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 10: found him. He proved to not be from planet Earth

541
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 10: as he took the ball fifty two yards to score,

542
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 10: shook off a defender who like fell right off of him.

543
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 10: They tried to touch Josh and then they turned to

544
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 10: stone and fell down. I mean, this guy is a

545
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 10: linebacker with the ball in his hands, and he had

546
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 10: the little stutterstep juke. Get out of here, your quarterback

547
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 10: could never That was the second longest run in touchdown

548
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 10: run in playoff history. It had a point two percent

549
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 10: chance of becoming a touchdown when he got his hands

550
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 10: on the ball, and he reached nineteen point three three

551
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 10: miles per hour. Incredible. Statistically, had a great performance yesterday,

552
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 10: completing seventy percent of his passes. Like you said, four

553
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 10: total touchdowns, a one to twenty one passer rating. The

554
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 10: MVP chance last night were totally right and on c

555
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 10: at the perfect time because he is the most valuable

556
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 10: player to this team. He finishes this season leading the

557
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 10: NFL with offensive yards and offensive touchdowns. Seventeen is totally

558
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 10: our lucky number, and we're going to need him to

559
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 10: continue to be our lucky number against the Chiefs on Sunday.

560
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 2: The coolest thing that happened after that touchdown was Josh.

561
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: When he got back to the sideline, the first person

562
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 2: he went up to was Kyer Elim because Kyrie Elam

563
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 2: made the interception in the end zone which led to

564
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:44,719
Speaker 2: that touchdown drive. And if that is not Josh Allen

565
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 2: personified as a leader of this football team, I don't

566
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: know what else is. There's a guy that's been riding

567
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 2: the bench, been inactive all season. The guy makes a

568
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: big play. They cash in on the other end with

569
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: him scoring the touchdown run, and he makes sure to

570
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 2: go talk to Kyer and thank him for getting the

571
00:30:59,440 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 2: ball back.

572
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 11: Right.

573
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 2: You imagine how ky Em feels after that.

574
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, Yeah, I mean it's a great move by Josh,

575
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 6: and it shows, you know how everybody you kind of

576
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 6: in it together. You get some of that in the

577
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 6: post game, in the post game speeches that they they

578
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 6: always put in. But it's it's a great atmosphere. I

579
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 6: know a lot a lot of great teams share a

580
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 6: lot of things in common. One of them is that

581
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 6: everybody from the from a guy like Josh Allen all

582
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 6: the way down to the bottom of the roster. You

583
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 6: know where I used to live. You always feel like

584
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 6: you're in it. They're in it, you're included, you're part

585
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 6: of it, you're contributing. And to have a guy like

586
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,239
Speaker 6: Josh just thank guys and just acknowledge him, it just

587
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 6: goes a long way towards keeping everybody engaged and just pushing, pushing, pushing.

588
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 6: Wow that I can't get over that play. I've been

589
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 6: talking about it for like twenty four hours now, losted

590
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 6: it about twenty times and there's like five thousand camera angle.

591
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 6: I just put out on social a retweet of a

592
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:01,719
Speaker 6: of a skycam from like the Blint, like from a drone.

593
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 2: That was a cable cany No, no, no, no no.

594
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: This one was above the stadium.

595
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 6: It was thrown and it was like ants on a

596
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 6: hill and you could still see that play happening.

597
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. Wow, everybody had their camera on that guy. Yeah,

598
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: it was great.

599
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 7: Here.

600
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, next up, mister reliable.

601
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 10: Khalol Shakir is mister reliable in this one because he

602
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 10: had a big time touchdown when the Bills needed some

603
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 10: more points, when he they needed to put the Steelers away,

604
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 10: And it wasn't like it was just a simple five

605
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 10: yard touchdown, no problem, wide open in the end zone.

606
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 10: Shakir had to work for it. He had to get

607
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 10: the catch, which he did, made the catch, and then

608
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 10: he basically was headed toward the ground getting tackled and

609
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 10: fought his way to stay up and keep fighting through

610
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 10: traffic to score. He had three targets, caught all of

611
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 10: those three targets. I love what he's become for this offense.

612
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 10: I love how humble he is and how hard he

613
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 10: works as a player, being a younger guy, being a

614
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 10: fifth round pick, finally finding some success within this offense,

615
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 10: feeling like he fits in this offense. I loved how

616
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 10: the team talks about him. I love how these guys

617
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 10: talk him up. I love hearing how Stefan Diggs is

618
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 10: proud of some of these guys for, you know, being

619
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 10: able to find a role within this offense. He finished

620
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 10: the regular season with an eighty six point seven percent

621
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 10: catch rate, which ranks first among wide receivers in the NFL.

622
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 10: So kudos to Khalu Shkir for being a big part

623
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 10: of this offense. From a fifth round pick to now

624
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 10: being a productive wide receiver. There might just be something

625
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 10: about these fifth round picks. You know, Stefan Diggs was

626
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 10: one of those. Tyreek Hill was one of those as well.

627
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: Mat Malana was one of those.

628
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 6: Yeah that I'll say this, he caught that and spun

629
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 6: out of that Minka Fitzpatrick tackle and the jab step

630
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 6: he put on was a Walker.

631
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: The lineback, Michael Walker.

632
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 2: Was the illusive frozen Oh.

633
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 6: My gosh, she snap and snapped his ankles and then

634
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 6: he turned down the corner and got in. Uh, I

635
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 6: gotta I gotta say. Khalil Shakir has been the most

636
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 6: surprising and surprisingly improved player on the r in my

637
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 6: opinion this year from what I saw on all the

638
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 6: stuff from last year where he was unbelievably massive contributions

639
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 6: time and again and his catch percentage is one of

640
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 6: the best things about him.

641
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, it's probably him and Bernard probably the most

642
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 2: approved player sure on this roster this year. Defense, all right, next,

643
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 2: coming in clutch.

644
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 10: Coming in clutch. Those were the backups who had to

645
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 10: step up and come in and play some meaningful snaps

646
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 10: in this one. Last week, I gave credit to the

647
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 10: backups who came in and they deserved all the credit.

648
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 10: And the backups deserve even more credit this week because

649
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 10: the Bills were down. Guys, coming into this game and

650
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 10: then by the end of the game they were down

651
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 10: even more players. I mean, aj Klein said he had

652
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 10: an RV ready to go to Florida and was convinced

653
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 10: to get off his couch and come play for the

654
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 10: Bills for their playoff run. And he had a huge

655
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 10: roll on the defense last night, wearing the green dot,

656
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 10: being the mic linebacker, kind of being able to just

657
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 10: roll right into things, you know. He said, I had

658
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 10: to get my feet wet, but then it was like

659
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 10: riding a bike because I know this defense. Kyer Elam

660
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 10: had to come in for Christian Benford, Baal inspector came out,

661
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 10: and Dorian Williams had to come in. I mean, some

662
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 10: of these guys were on scout team all week and

663
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 10: then to have to play for a good portion of

664
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 10: this game and kind of flip your brain. That's not

665
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 10: easy to do. And we're probably gonna need some of

666
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 10: these guys this week as well, and you know, to

667
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 10: be able to make a difference when you come into

668
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 10: the game, Kyer Elam, aj Klein, several guys, Dorian Williams

669
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 10: coming in. I mean, you talk about the roster that

670
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 10: Brandon Bean has put together, knowing that hopefully you don't

671
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 10: have to always go to second string and third string

672
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 10: guys in big time games. But they were up for

673
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 10: the challenge. Just like I said last week, they were

674
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 10: up for the challenge. They were able to keep every

675
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 10: thing in check and able to keep the score within

676
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 10: thirty one to seventeen.

677
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, you look at this game, and I was looking

678
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 6: at the flip card, and then you know they always

679
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 6: give out for the media. They give out flip cards

680
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 6: that has the depth chart of your.

681
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 2: Team on both teams.

682
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 6: On both teams, right your offense, you know, Bill's offense

683
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,439
Speaker 6: against the Steeler defense and vice versa, Bill's defense against

684
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 6: Steeler offense. They got these, samement I'm looking at it.

685
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 6: So they got these guys on the flip Terrell Dodson no,

686
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 6: Terrell Bernard out tearing out, Russell Douglas out, Christian Benford out,

687
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 6: Taylor rap out, Baylen Spector goes out. There's like seven

688
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 6: guys that are off the flip.

689
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: For the game, all on defense, all on defense.

690
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 2: Except for Sam Martin yeh, who stayed in the game.

691
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,919
Speaker 2: I was kind of intrigued by aj kleins comments after

692
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 2: the game in the postgame press conference, where he commented

693
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 2: on how this coaching staff tries to sprinkle in backups

694
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 2: during the practice week with the first team defense with

695
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 2: the first team offense.

696
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 10: So that during training Campion, Yeah, but I.

697
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 2: Mean in the regular season, not every team does that

698
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 2: because there's only so many snaps.

699
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: You have to get your.

700
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 2: Starters ready for the game right to install the game plan.

701
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 2: So the fact that they practice that is I don't

702
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 2: want to say it's unique, but it's not common.

703
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 6: And it's I'll say a thing. It goes in hand

704
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 6: in hand with a lot of other stuff they do.

705
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 6: We always hear about how he's got a veteran rest day. Well,

706
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 6: it's not like they're gonna go with ten guys. Offensively,

707
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 6: somebody's getting plugged into Steph Diggs spot, somebody's getting plugged

708
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 6: into Mitch Morse's spots, somebody's getting plugged into you know,

709
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 6: Connor McGovern spot and all these guys. And on defense,

710
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 6: same thing with Poyer Hide all that those guys not

711
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 6: only get a chance to take a rest, but it

712
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 6: also gives the defense a chance to do it ill

713
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 6: a chance to nobody's like when they're not there. And

714
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 6: think about this just in Sean McDermott has been standing

715
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 6: on it. If he was a goalie, he's pitching a

716
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 6: shutout with nobody in front of him, right, I mean

717
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 6: that guy. The the hoops they've had to jump through

718
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 6: with roster adjustments on the fly during games, particularly this

719
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 6: last one yesterday.

720
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:07,720
Speaker 1: Kudos to those guys.

721
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 7: Yeah.

722
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 2: And I think the last thing that it does is

723
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 2: those guys that are deeper on the roster that may

724
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 2: or may not play on a given Sunday. It keeps

725
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 2: him engaged. When they're taking starter reps in practice, They're like, oh,

726
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 2: I really do kind of have to be ready here.

727
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: It's a reminder. It is a stark rop.

728
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 6: It's a great carrot to keep guys engaged and to

729
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 6: practice hard and to let them realize the coaches are

730
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 6: thinking about them once in a while.

731
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean.

732
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 2: Let's move to the shake it Off award next.

733
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 10: Shaking off kaye Elon, That's exactly what he did. He

734
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 10: comes into this game and the Steelers start to go

735
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 10: right on him. They start to throw the ball right

736
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 10: at him, and he gets a defensive pass interference call

737
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 10: on him pretty quickly and then is able to not

738
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 10: let that get the best of him because he picks

739
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 10: off Mason Rudolph in the end zone. If it was

740
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 10: a catch and it was a touchdown, the score would

741
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 10: have been fourteen to seven at that point. And the

742
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 10: Bills were able to after that, like we talked about,

743
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 10: they were able to score and extend the lead twenty

744
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 10: one to nothing. That's playing complimentary football. Way to step up, Kye.

745
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 10: I mean he talked about after this game, he talked about,

746
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 10: you know, if it was earlier in my career, I

747
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 10: probably would have let that get me. I probably would

748
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,479
Speaker 10: have let that DPI call get me and other things

749
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 10: them going right at me get the best of me.

750
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 10: But I was able to kind of let it roll

751
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,959
Speaker 10: off my back and get back in the game because

752
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 10: I'm mature enough at this point in my NFL career

753
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 10: to be able to make some plays like that. So,

754
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 10: I mean, just like Josh Allen, I feel like when

755
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 10: he throws a pick or turns the ball over, shakes

756
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 10: it off and goes out and throws a touchdown. And

757
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 10: Kyrie and Elam did exactly that on defense.

758
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 2: Yeah said he was rusty coming in and you can

759
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 2: understand why he hasn't been in a game live for

760
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 2: quite a while. So to be able to shake off that,

761
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 2: Russ gets some valuable reps knowing he may have to

762
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 2: be called upon again this week's going to serve him

763
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 2: well against the Chiefs.

764
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, and there's no question and he's gonna be on

765
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 6: the short list of guys. I mean there's still a

766
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 6: lot of question at this Tuesday. You play on Sunday

767
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 6: and there's a lot of question marks on the on

768
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 6: the injury list.

769
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: So and it's.

770
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 6: Probably gonna it'll serve him well. The reps he got

771
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 6: and the time he got on the field yesterday are

772
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 6: really going to serve him well coming into this week

773
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 6: because he'll probably have to take the reps in practice anyway,

774
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 6: because nobody's gonna feel like they're one hundred percent even

775
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 6: though probably walking through a lot, he's gonna be ultra

776
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 6: engaged in making sure he's on it. So it's it

777
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 6: was really nice to get that under his belt and

778
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 6: give him some confidence.

779
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 2: Tough Guy Award Maddie.

780
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,280

781
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 10: Playing through some pain. I mean, he gets that hamstring

782
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 10: injury by trying to chase down the ball after that

783
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 10: field goal was blocked and by the way he was limping,

784
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 10: you're thinking, oh, no, who are they going to go to.

785
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 10: Who's gonna be the backup in this situation? But Sam

786
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 10: Martin was able to keep going and that must have

787
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 10: not felt good for him. But way to be a

788
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 10: tough guy instead in there for your team. Hopefully he

789
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,800

793
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 10: snowplow crews who worked hard throughout the evening or early

794
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 10: mornings to make sure everything was good to go on

795
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 10: the streets. And then shout out to the fans and

796
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 10: everybody who came out to the stadium early, worked through

797
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 10: the night, worked into the morning to help clear the

798
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 10: stadium so that Bills fans could enjoy the game even

799
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 10: if they were standing on snow. It could have been

800
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 10: way way worse. And shout out to all the Bills

801
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 10: fans for being able to brace the cold. Brace the elements,

802
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,280
Speaker 10: show up and be loud. We're gonna need them times

803
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 10: ten on Sunday.

804
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 6: I thought, you know, when we were out there and

805
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 6: I was looking at the stands and driving in and

806
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 6: you know, we all live through this stuff and we

807
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 6: know how it is. It's it's downright dangerous once in

808
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 6: a while.

809
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 1: Right.

810
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 6: So I'm thinking, I was down the field and I

811
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 6: was looking at the stadium and we're here here very early,

812
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 6: like all of us were.

813
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, man, oh man, I don't know.

814
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 6: I mean, there's probably gonna be some empty seats, there's

815
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 6: gonna be some no gaps.

816
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: And it's like there was nothing. Everybody. Every seat was taken.

817
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 6: I mean everybody was standing there and I was I

818
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 6: don't know how they got in some of those plays.

819
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 6: Well you saw that you could see on the highlights

820
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 6: we just showed. I don't know how people got to

821
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 6: their seats, let alone clear them up. What they do

822
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 6: with the snow.

823
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 2: They just kicked it off their chair and threw it somewhere,

824
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 2: stomped on it and put it in their neighbor's seat.

825
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 2: Whatever you too.

826
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 6: It's a funny thing, you know how people are. I mean,

827
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,800
Speaker 6: so they get let you come in, make twenty bucks

828
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 6: an hour, you know, So people come in, sign up

829
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 6: to shovel, they go up, they shovel their seats and

830
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 6: then leave.

831
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 2: That's a sneaky way.

832
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, so there was a little bit of that going

833
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 6: on as well.

834
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 1: Do that I'll get that.

835
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 2: More altruistic than that, but most of them all right.

836
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 2: So the last one the Fired Us Up Award.

837
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 10: Steve Tasker, you fired us up man. You were the

838
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 10: legend of the game. I mean the Bills scored on

839
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 10: their first drive.

840
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 11: You.

841
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: That is right.

842
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 10: A clip going around of Stefan Diggs repeating you. He

843
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 10: was on the sideline. He was feeling it as well.

844
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:10,439
Speaker 10: It was awesome. Loved you tossing the cigar, dropping the mic.

845
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 6: You know, I tossed the mic. I tossed the mic

846
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 6: to sal He wasn't ready for it. I tossed it

847
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 6: too hard at him. He dropped it.

848
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: But I gotta tell you I was aggressive.

849
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie.

850
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 10: That was that was crazy.

851
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 2: Well, I dropped like a softball pitch.

852
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: Let's go. You killed it. I killed it. Test It's

853
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: not easy. Everybody's you know, you can feel it. That's

854
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: you know. The cigar. I wish I would have liked

855
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: the cigar. Keep me warmer.

856
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 6: They told me to be down there. You know, game

857
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 6: kicked off four thirty and they said getta be down there.

858
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 6: Like four o'clock, and I was like, okay, I got you,

859
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 6: you know, because you know you I should have got

860
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 6: down there like four twenty because man, I was freezing.

861
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 6: I was I could not get out of there fast enough.

862
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 6: It was so cold because I you know, the hat

863
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 6: is not covering my ears. Yeah, oh my gosh, I

864
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 6: was so cold down there.

865
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 2: You needed like a nook of the north hat, that's

866
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 2: what you needed.

867
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: I had like nine layers under that stink jersey. I

868
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: look like a you know, the puff. Marshall was so full, but.

869
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 6: I fans were great. It was a great atmosphere. I

870
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 6: was really It's so fun to go down there and

871
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 6: do that, but you got to rehearse it because you

872
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 6: get down there and the adrenaline, your adrenaline kicks in,

873
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 6: whether you like it or not know it or not.

874
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: And you've seen it.

875
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 6: Some of these guys they go kind of go off

876
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 6: the air a little bit because it's like, what am

877
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 6: I supposed.

878
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: To do again?

879
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 2: So you kind of blank first.

880
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're kind of like okay, and then you got

881
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,280
Speaker 6: that microphone that there's a little bit of a delay,

882
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 6: you know, and that kind of comes up. So it's

883
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 6: you really have to concentrate and be ready for it,

884
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 6: and so.

885
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 2: Well well done as usual, Maddie. Thanks for the Maddie Award.

886
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: It's my first Maddie Award.

887
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 2: I'm that's right.

888
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: You deserve special so I'm kind of cool.

889
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 2: It's kind of Trump in the Emmys last nice job there.

890
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: I didn't get an Emmy either, but yeah, neither did.

891
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: I don't worry.

892
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 4: Uh.

893
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 2: We we are late for the break. We'll take a

894
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 2: break here, come back and try to squeeze in some

895
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 2: phone calls. Next on one Bills Live, presented by Colida Health.

896
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bills Radio Numbers that matter is presented by

897
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 2: the New York Lottery. Josh Allen's fifty two yard touchdown

898
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 2: run against the Steelers marks the longest run by a

899
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 2: Bills player in a playoff game and the second longest

900
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 2: in NFL history. Allen's run surpassed the previous long, a

901
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 2: forty five yard touchdown run by former Bills running back

902
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 2: Joe Cribbs in nineteen eighty one against the Jets. Joe

903
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 2: Cribbs was my wife's favorite player as a young girl

904
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 2: here rooting for the Bills. Joe Cribbs was her guy.

905
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 2: So she'll probably be disappointed to see that he's been

906
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 2: scrubbed from the record books by Josh Allen. He's not

907
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 2: the first, he won't be the last.

908
00:45:58,520 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: That's right.

909
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,240
Speaker 6: That's like, that's why they keep records, man, so people

910
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 6: can shoot form and break them.

911
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 2: So those are the numbers that matter, presented by the

912
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 2: New York Lottery. Let's quickly get to the phones at

913
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 2: eight oh three five point fifty and to Bradley on

914
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,280
Speaker 2: Grand Island. He got for his is Bradley, Hey, Happy

915
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 2: New Year.

916
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 7: Guys.

917
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 12: You were talking about that bumble out of bounds deal.

918
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 12: They explained on the TV the referee they go to

919
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 12: off to the side that the ball actually went off

920
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 12: the guy's helmet that was out of bounds the Steelers player. Yeah,

921
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 12: that's why it wasn't over.

922
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 2: If it did, it was like, I don't know, I read.

923
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: I didn't see that. To look at it again, but.

924
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 2: So do I because it didn't seem to change to read.

925
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 1: That up because I didn't see it do that at all.

926
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: I want to.

927
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 6: I'll go back and look and now I agree, if

928
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 6: it did that, it is out of bounds. And so

929
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 6: if they got confirmation of that, fine, But I didn't

930
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 6: see that on any.

931
00:46:56,200 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: Of the replays. I saw, yeah, and I would maybe

932
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: I missed it.

933
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 2: I'm not saying this happened. And yeah, we could have

934
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 2: missed it because we watched multiple replays of it, and

935
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 2: maybe we're just not looking for thing.

936
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 6: Maybe when on the angle they showed it, maybe I

937
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 6: was looking at something else.

938
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 1: I don't know, but.

939
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 2: Man, that was that was a tough one. Should have,

940
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 2: in my estimation, should have been Bill's ball because Specter

941
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 2: had it before he went over and hit the sideline

942
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 2: in my estimation. Uh, let's go back to the phones

943
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 2: and to Steve and Apple Springs. What do you got

944
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 2: for Steve?

945
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 13: Hi, Brownie, Hi, mister Tasker, it's asshole Springs like the.

946
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 2: Okay, oh, I got you. Yeah, I'm just going by

947
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 2: what's typed in front of me, Steve, forgive me.

948
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 13: Yeah, No, guys, auto correct is great.

949
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 11: No.

950
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 13: The only common wanted to make there was an earlier

951
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 13: caller about the von Miller bad side of it. I

952
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 13: just want to talk about the good side, and especially

953
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 13: as talking to two former players. So the first thing

954
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 13: is number one, we got there renumber. He had a

955
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 13: torn achilles and then I had the fortune of knowing

956
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 13: Takio Spikes growing up, so there was that kind of

957
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 13: recovery period with that, and it's good to see the

958
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 13: Bills playing this in the sense of we have an

959
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 13: asset and we don't want him to get hurt. He

960
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 13: has a multitude of experience, not forgetting his impact on

961
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 13: Greg Russeau and the defensive line on what he can

962
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 13: actually teach them. And then lastly, one of the questions

963
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 13: that I had was as a along the game, did

964
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 13: you notice that later on he took a hit on

965
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 13: Mason Rudolph. That seems like it was late and we

966
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 13: kind of lucked out with not having a rough end

967
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 13: passer call on that.

968
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 1: Von did that.

969
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a little late later. Yeah, it was

970
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 2: a little late judgment call obviously. I know reps mostly

971
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 2: have a quick whistle on that stuff, as they did

972
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 2: on the what was it the Josh slide and then

973
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 2: he got hit right by Miles Jack and they tacked

974
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 2: off another fifteen yards on it. Yeah, I mean, could

975
00:48:58,040 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 2: they have called it?

976
00:48:58,680 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: Sure?

977
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 2: Did they know? So you just take your fortuitous non

978
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 2: calls and keep on rolling and the Bills may have

979
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 2: gotten one there. Yeah, he's a good leader. I don't

980
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 2: think there's any question about that he can pour into

981
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,280
Speaker 2: younger players. You're right about that, and Steve is encouraged

982
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 2: by what he saw in Sunday's game. You know, had

983
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,439
Speaker 2: a couple of quarterback pressures. You got to hope there's

984
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 2: more of that coming down the pike here because this

985
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 2: game against Mahomes, you're gonna need that kind of stuff.

986
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 2: You're absolutely gonna need it. Yeah, let's quickly Steve squeeze

987
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,720
Speaker 2: in Steven Michigan. Here, what do you got for a Steve?

988
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 7: Guys, that was the most brilliant special teams played by

989
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,720
Speaker 7: the Bills I have ever seen. And I am talking

990
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,839
Speaker 7: about them. Missing the twenty seven yard field goal at

991
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 7: the end of the game. Why well, it was shedded

992
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 7: so badly, it's too badly to be a mistake. Here

993
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 7: we go, the Bills are up fourteen. It's fourth and

994
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 7: goal from the nine. You could go for the fourth,

995
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 7: but that's nine a lot and you're gonna risk you know,

996
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 7: turnover or perhaps injury because you've got a short field.

997
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 7: Not the option. All right, Well, line up and kneel

998
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 7: on the ball. But there's still time, just under two minutes.

999
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 7: Steelers defensive line to come crashing through, causing injury or turnover.

1000
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 7: You line up for the ship shot field goal. If

1001
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 7: you make the kick, you're up seventeen. But you've got

1002
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 7: to now kick off to the Steelers austin the third

1003
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 7: you would have returned it even from deep in the

1004
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 7: end zone. Now you're risking the score and injury to

1005
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 7: special teams players that must immediately go back on defense

1006
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 7: because you've got guys hurt on your defense. Even if

1007
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 7: the kickoff is a touchback and like Bath kicks it

1008
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 7: out of the end zone, balls placed at the twenty

1009
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 7: five eight yards better than the seventeen yard line. The

1010
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 7: Steelers around with no timeouts. Now you've got little risk

1011
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 7: to the Bills. That was freaking brilliant. No one's gonna

1012
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 7: believe it. No one's gonna believe it. The Bills will

1013
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 7: never admit it. But it was the smartest play. And

1014
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:01,800
Speaker 7: he kicked it so wide to avoid it being blocked

1015
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 7: straight on I, you know, and everybody's jumping on deass

1016
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 7: because of the blocked forty nine yarder and the initial kickoff.

1017
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 7: I don't know if that was trying to be a

1018
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 7: squib or something, because then he was, you know, bouncing

1019
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 7: him out. I mean, he hit the forty what the

1020
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 7: forty five yard or whatever right down the pike is Yeah, seeah, Steve.

1021
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 2: I respect, I respect the analysis, Steve, but you're you're

1022
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 2: way down the rabbit hole here. I mean, the amount

1023
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 2: of time just to explain all of that, just for

1024
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 2: an eight yard advantage in what would be a two

1025
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 2: score game, I just can't get there. I respect all

1026
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 2: the analysis and the work you put into that explanation,

1027
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 2: but all you need to do is look at Tyler

1028
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 2: Bass's reaction after the kick, and you know that he

1029
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 2: is trying to make it. There is no kicker in

1030
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 2: this league not trying to make a field goal, especially

1031
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 2: when the last attempt was blocked. You want to get

1032
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 2: right for the next game.

1033
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're right. I hadn't really thought about the fact

1034
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 6: that they got the ball inside the touchback line and

1035
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 6: it was still it was still a two score game

1036
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 6: and rather than a three score game with more field position,

1037
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 6: a little bit more field position.

1038
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 1: But I yeah, I.

1039
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 2: Can't take that journey with you.

1040
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,359
Speaker 6: Are you are a true Bills fan If you're going

1041
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 6: down that rabbit hole coming out like that with the

1042
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 6: Bills smelled like a rose missing it on purpose.

1043
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: You are You're alled it the most brilliant of the game,

1044
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: Steep from Michigan. You are a goner, bro. I salute you.

1045
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: I absolutely salute you.

Speaker 2: radio color analyst, former Bill Center and host of the

Speaker 2: Centered on Buffalo podcast. It is Eric Wood, joining us

1057
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 2: after the long drive back to Louisville last night after

1058
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 2: the game. Eric, good to see you wide eyed here,

1059
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 2: because that's that's not a drive I was prepared to

1060
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:56,240
Speaker 2: take after that game.

1061
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 14: No, and uh yeah, that was a pretty pretty long

1062
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 14: day for us. We had a super long pregame with

1063
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,240
Speaker 14: the four thirty, so just extra time to be locked

1064
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 14: in for that one. But you know what, Bill's victory

1065
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 14: made it all worth it. And the kids actually here

1066
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 14: in Louisville got a delay one hour delay for school,

1067
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 14: so we all got an extra hour of sleep in

1068
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 14: the woodhousehold because it was too cold for some to

1069
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 14: wait out in the cold for the bus, which Steelers

1070
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 14: fans would say is extra soft compared to what we

1071
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 14: dealt with in Buffalo last weekend, when then when they

1072
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:34,919
Speaker 14: were poking fun of us from downtown Buffalo, when Orchard

1073
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,879
Speaker 14: Park's catching three feet of snow, most of which came

1074
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,280
Speaker 14: Sunday at one when the game was supposed to be played.

1075
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 14: But all in good fun there, and uh, yeah, the

1076
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 14: Bills Bill's win definitely makes it worth it.

1077
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's a nice win too, because you know,

1078
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 6: over this past you know, five or six game stretch

1079
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 6: when they've had to win and kept in the conversation,

1080
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 6: we've had some so a lot of angst, you know,

1081
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 6: in your blood pressures skyrocketing in these games because it

1082
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,280
Speaker 6: doesn't look like some times are gonna win. This one,

1083
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 6: there was maybe a stretch there in the third quarter

1084
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:08,399
Speaker 6: when the Steelers got to seven points and then kicked

1085
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,319
Speaker 6: off to Buffalo and then Buffalo extended. But during that

1086
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 6: time when they got it to seven points. That's really

1087
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 6: the time of the game when there was really some angst.

1088
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 6: But other than that, the Bills add their lead and

1089
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 6: then it was a two score game again, and it

1090
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 6: was like, okay, let's go. This game was this game

1091
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 6: was in full control except for that little stretch by

1092
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,240
Speaker 6: Buffalo from start to finish.

1093
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 14: Yeah, when they got up twenty one to nothing, and

1094
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 14: it looked like they were gonna get up twenty four

1095
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 14: to nothing right before the end of the half, it

1096
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 14: looked like the game was completely out of hand. Of course,

1097
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,919
Speaker 14: then you get the field goal blocked, Pittsburgh gets seven

1098
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 14: points before the half, and you come out of the

1099
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 14: half and go three and out, and then the injuries

1100
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,800
Speaker 14: start mounting defensively, and yes there was a touch of angst.

1101
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 5: Then I'll tell.

1102
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,320
Speaker 14: You what, when you know, you get those two injuries

1103
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 14: on the what should have been a fumble recovery by

1104
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 14: Spector and that's not overturned there, and then you get

1105
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 14: two injuries there with Spector and Ben and then you

1106
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 14: lose Treel Bernard. Later, I'll tell you what I was.

1107
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 14: I was halfway sick to my stomach, just one. I

1108
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 14: felt for those guys and too you just kind of

1109
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 14: feel not that this game is slipping, but you know,

1110
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 14: you just love the momentum that this Bills team has

1111
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 14: and they've been able to piece it together defensively despite

1112
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,359
Speaker 14: all the injuries this year, and then you're just thinking

1113
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 14: to yourself, how can they overcome these And then you

1114
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:24,399
Speaker 14: just saw incredible individual efforts. You know aj Klin, who's

1115
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 14: supposed to be going on vacation with his family last week.

1116
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 14: Credit him for staying in shape and be able to

1117
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 14: come in and make what eleven stops in the game

1118
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 14: and be able to lead the defense and have an

1119
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 14: experienced guy in the middle of that defense and be

1120
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 14: able to put the green dot on his helmet and

1121
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 14: be able to lead them down the stretch. But I

1122
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,879
Speaker 14: went back after the game and looked at the win

1123
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 14: probability on one of the sports apps, and you know,

1124
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 14: even when they cut it to seven, I think it

1125
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 14: was like an eighty eight percent win chance for the

1126
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 14: Bills by you know, Yahoo's sports standards. And so maybe

1127
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 14: we felt the angst a little bit more than others

1128
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 14: in the public opinion, mainly because we've experienced some collapses

1129
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,839
Speaker 14: this year. But it seems like ever since the by

1130
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 14: this team has turned that corner and with their backs

1131
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:12,839
Speaker 14: against the wall, have found a way to win all

1132
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 14: of these games down the stretch.

1133
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty crazy to see at the end

1134
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 2: of the game. On defense, Aj Klein, Kyrie Elam, and

1135
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember the third guy that I'm trying

1136
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 2: to think of here, oh, Dorian Williams. Were three of

1137
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 2: the top four tacklers in the football game when he

1138
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 2: came to the end, they really stepped in and stepped

1139
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 2: up for sure. We talked about it in the pregame

1140
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 2: Eric that we thought the Steelers could be had at

1141
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 2: the second level, their linebacker level, and it seemed like

1142
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 2: the Bills felt the same way based on how they

1143
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 2: utilized the tight ends early the game Khalil Shakir had.

1144
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 2: It just seemed like they were victimizing the middle of

1145
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 2: the field and the second level of the defense all afternoon,

1146
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 2: almost to the point where they didn't even concern themselves

1147
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 2: with taking many shots down the field.

1148
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 14: And Josh Allen stayed incredibly patient all throughout this one.

1149
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 14: You know, no risk he plays. The only one that

1150
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 14: kind of got tipped up and looked like it could

1151
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 14: have been an interception was really just an underthrow by

1152
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 14: Josh I thought he had the cover two Cover two,

1153
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 14: the Tampa two beater again right down to the scene.

1154
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 14: He hit dalk Kin Kate on that one early in

1155
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 14: the game and almost got Digs on the same look

1156
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 14: in the red zone for a touchdown, which was a

1157
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 14: throw he wanted back based upon his reaction with his

1158
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 14: hands on top of his head, knowing that he missed

1159
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 14: a touchdown in that situation. But we heard from people

1160
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 14: that had worked with Joe Brady in the past that

1161
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 14: the way he likes to form a game plan is

1162
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 14: to figure out the weakness of the defense and attack it.

1163
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 14: In some weeks, it may be your number one receiver

1164
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 14: on the outside against a mismatch. Other weeks, it may

1165
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 14: look like the Dallas game where you're simply running the

1166
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 14: ball over and over if you're going to stay in

1167
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 14: super light personnel. And then we've seen multiple times with

1168
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 14: Joe Brady say, look, these linebackers are not athletic enough

1169
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 14: to keep up with our tight ends, with our slot receivers,

1170
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 14: and we're going to pick on them. And from jump

1171
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 14: they attacked them. They did it all throughout the game

1172
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 14: that first driving the game, Dawson Knox scores tight end

1173
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 14: gets the first touchdown four years in a row in

1174
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 14: the wild card round that Dawson Knox gets the first

1175
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 14: touchdown of the game. And then that second tight end

1176
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 14: the strike on the first play after the turnover, he

1177
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 14: hits Dalton Kinkaid on the same play that I was

1178
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 14: just referring to to Diggs that Josh miss later in

1179
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 14: the game, hits him right down the seam, and that's

1180
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 14: that's a great play call. It's anticipation of coverage. But

1181
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 14: Josh knew where he wanted to go with this football

1182
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 14: right as his play started. He identified the coverage, understood

1183
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 14: that Miles Jack is not going to be able to

1184
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 14: run with Dalton kink down the seam. So there's your mismatch.

1185
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 14: Throws a perfect ball and they get to score to

1186
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 14: hop up fourteen to nothing. I thought it was a

1187
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 14: masterful job offensively throughout this game of staying patient, taking

1188
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 14: what the defense gives them, not forcing anything, and then

1189
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 14: making the plays when they're there to be had.

1190
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 6: When you see this game, it goes up fourteen to nothing,

1191
00:59:55,400 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 6: the Bills get the ball back and Josh you know,

1192
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 6: snaps off this fifty two yard run that I it's

1193
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 6: a work of art, and because it looks like he's

1194
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 6: gonna slide looks and everybody's saying, just get down, you

1195
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 6: got the first down, Just get down, don't take the hit,

1196
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 6: and then he plows through the tackle by the safety

1197
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 6: and then literally outruns the secondary for the Steelers to

1198
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 6: the end, they were losing ground on him. A play

1199
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 6: like that, you know, describe the you know you're standing

1200
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 6: there on the sideline. You know you're a defensive player,

1201
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 6: you're special teams guy like men. You're watching your quarterback

1202
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 6: take off and snap off a play like that. Talk

1203
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 6: about what that does to the site of the entire team.

1204
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 14: Oh, I mean the entire team, the entire stadium, the

1205
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,919
Speaker 14: broadcast booth. We were all giddy when we saw Josh

1206
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 14: rip that one off.

1207
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 5: And look this.

1208
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 14: They kept Josh under wraps the first part of the season, saying, look,

1209
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 14: when when the games are on the line where we

1210
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 14: need it most, that's when we need Josh Allen to run.

1211
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 14: But we want him to play a certain style of offense.

1212
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 14: And we saw that through maybe the first half of

1213
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 14: the season. But like I mentioned before, with their backs

1214
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 14: against the wall, as me and Chris like to say

1215
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 14: on the broadcast can't hold anything.

1216
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 5: Back, and they're not holding back with Josh Allen.

1217
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 14: Now they've used him as a weapon in the red

1218
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 14: zone really since Joe Brady's taken over as offensive coordinator

1219
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 14: in there, they give Josh this freedom to run and look,

1220
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 14: if you're gonna run mann to man defense against the

1221
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 14: Bills and bring pressure, if Josh breaks the line of scrimmage,

1222
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 14: it's going to be a big play. Is it's always

1223
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 14: going to be fifty two yards? No, but they tracked

1224
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 14: Josh Allen going nineteen point three to three miles per

1225
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 14: hour on that play, was the fastest of any Bills

1226
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 14: ball carrier in the game. And so yes, when you're

1227
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 14: on the sidelines there and you see your quarterback who's

1228
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 14: got maybe the smallest ego of anyone on the entire field,

1229
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 14: the way he's willing to risk his body and put

1230
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 14: it all out there week in a week out, Yeah,

1231
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 14: that'll fire up the troops.

1232
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:48,439
Speaker 2: All right. So let's spin forward a little bit here

1233
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 2: to Kansas City, because you've got a Chiefs team that

1234
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 2: many perceive as over the last five years, one of

1235
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 2: the most vulnerable versions of this Kansas City Chief squad,

1236
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 2: and it feels like, it's crazy to say that coming

1237
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 2: off a Super Bowl championship. They're defending Super Bowl champions

1238
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 2: But we've seen enough evidence of their offense to know

1239
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 2: they're not the same offense juggernaut attack that they used

1240
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 2: to be. And they're coming off a game in which

1241
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 2: I believe they went one for five in the red

1242
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 2: zone against the Dolphins. Harrison, Butker is the leading scorer

1243
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 2: in the postseason. He's got fourteen points because he was

1244
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 2: kicking field goals for them all last week. But they

1245
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 2: do have two extra days of preparation and rest for

1246
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 2: their players. What at first blush strikes you about this

1247
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 2: Chiefs matchup this time around, Eric.

1248
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, this is the team that you got

1249
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 14: to get over, and this is a team that's had

1250
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 14: the Bills number in the playoffs and the regular season.

1251
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 14: The Bills have gone to Arrowhead. They've conquered those demons.

1252
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 14: You think back to the COVID game against the Chiefs

1253
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 14: and they ran the ball down the Bills throw in

1254
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 14: the regular season. We haven't loss to them since, and

1255
01:02:58,440 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 14: all those games have.

1256
01:02:59,160 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 5: Been at Arrowhead.

1257
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 14: But then we've had to go to Arrowhead each time

1258
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 14: that we've played them in the playoffs and we've lost

1259
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 14: all of those games. So you know, I know these

1260
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 14: guys are excited to get them in high Mark Stadium

1261
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 14: and kind of flip the script. And you know Arrowhead

1262
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 14: high Mark Stadium, those are two of the loudest stadiums

1263
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 14: in the league. I always say, as an offensive player,

1264
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:19,200
Speaker 14: there's a certain threshold of noise where we just can't

1265
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 14: communicate well. Anything over that's just gravy. You know, it

1266
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 14: doesn't really impact you any further. And high Mark and Arrowhead,

1267
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 14: you can say, one's one A and one B as

1268
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 14: far as loudest stadiums in the AFC, but neither of them,

1269
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 14: especially in the playoffs, are you're going to be able

1270
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 14: to communicate well. So you get them in your house

1271
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 14: this week. The Chiefs played well against the Dolphins last week,

1272
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 14: and you know, watching that game and I watched it

1273
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 14: back to the I watched it live and then the

1274
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 14: condensed version back last night, and you know, both times,

1275
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 14: I was trying to think, is this more about Miami

1276
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 14: or more about Kansas City here, And it's a combination

1277
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 14: of both. I didn't think Miami played well. They also

1278
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 14: are just completely depleted on the defensive side of the

1279
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 14: football and Kansas City was able to take advantage of that.

1280
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 14: But now they didn't capitalize in the redis zone like

1281
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 14: you said or else. That really could have been a blowout.

1282
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 14: And under Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, they've consistently been

1283
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 14: a top five red zone offense and they're always creative

1284
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 14: down there, and one of their two red zone touchdowns

1285
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 14: they had to resort to the wildcat. They put Pachecko

1286
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 14: in the wildcat to get him into the end zone.

1287
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 14: And so this is going to be a big time

1288
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:21,919
Speaker 14: matchup this week. You know, Kansas City's offense hasn't played

1289
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 14: as well, and over the last few years they've designated

1290
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 14: a lot of draft capital into that defensive side of

1291
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 14: the ball and it's paid off and they have one

1292
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 14: of the top defense in the league this year, but

1293
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 14: then their offense has struggled. Rashid Rice, their second rounder

1294
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 14: from this year, played really well against the Dolphins against

1295
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 14: the banged up Dolphins team and secondary, like I said,

1296
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 14: and we'll see what he can do in high Mark Stadium.

1297
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 14: But when he gets going, then that allows Travis Kelcey, Scanling, Pachecko,

1298
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 14: a lot of those guys more opportunities. When you have

1299
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,120
Speaker 14: a downfield threat, because I feel like that's one of

1300
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 14: the things that they've been missing. Kelsey's kind of their

1301
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 14: big play guy. Well, when you can put a lot

1302
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 14: of resources to towards him neutralize him in the game,

1303
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 14: then this Kansas City offense just as hasn't been nearly

1304
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 14: as formidable. And when I look at this matchup in

1305
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 14: you know the possibilities of corners and linebackers still being

1306
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 14: out this week. Look, you got your two safeties, these

1307
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 14: guys that Sean McDermott just raved about that are just

1308
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 14: dying to get a championship. Here to Buffalo, New York.

1309
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 14: You have this defensive line that you've invested a ton

1310
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:27,960
Speaker 14: of draft capital and free agents too, that is playing

1311
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 14: at a high level. And look, there's going to be

1312
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 14: injuries throughout the season, and they generally happen in waves

1313
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,400
Speaker 14: and position groups, and it's generally not a coincidence. You

1314
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 14: start getting injuries to a position group, then other guys

1315
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 14: get stretched thinner, and guys that are playing special teams

1316
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 14: as well are getting put into the game and they're

1317
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 14: getting overworked, and those injuries stack. But then it's those

1318
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 14: position groups that are healthy. And when I'm looking at it,

1319
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 14: mainly this defensive line. This has got to be the answer.

1320
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 14: And I've come on this show in the past before

1321
01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,440
Speaker 14: and one of the things I've been critical about this

1322
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 14: Bill's team in the playoffs is the lack.

1323
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 5: Of a pass rush with a fore man rush.

1324
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 14: And when you're going against guys like Mahomes and Burrow

1325
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 14: in the playoffs, you've got to be able to put

1326
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 14: pressure on them with a four man rush if they're

1327
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:13,280
Speaker 14: able to get home this week, neutralize the line of

1328
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:16,440
Speaker 14: scrimmage against the run in this Chiefs run game, and

1329
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 14: then in obvious pass situations, really apply pressure to Patrick Mahomes.

1330
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 5: This Bill's defense can be successful against his Chiefs offense.

1331
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 6: How big of an effect will the six days be

1332
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 6: instead of the seven days between games?

1333
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great question. That's a great question, and

1334
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 5: that's to be seen.

1335
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 14: You know, when you get guys dinged up, that extra

1336
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 14: day or two can really add to it. It's late

1337
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 14: in the season right now, those extra days of rest

1338
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 14: can be pivotal. Now when it's winner go home, can

1339
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,600
Speaker 14: it play an effect you know in how your body

1340
01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 14: might feel throughout the week. Likely, but you're going out

1341
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:54,040
Speaker 14: on Sunday and you're gonna push through. And I would

1342
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 14: imagine from a from a physical standpoint that this isn't

1343
01:06:57,600 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 14: going to be a deal where we look back next

1344
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 14: Monday and say, well, you know, the bills were just

1345
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:05,440
Speaker 14: still wore out from Pittsburgh. You know, if this doesn't

1346
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 14: work out, we're not gonna be making those excuses. From

1347
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 14: an injury standpoint, I'm sure there are some guys that

1348
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 14: are dinged up with which would love that extra day rest.

1349
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:17,400
Speaker 14: When I look in particular Taron Johnson, who had to

1350
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 14: go into concussion protocol, look very healthy.

1351
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 5: And a good spirits leaving the game.

1352
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:25,720
Speaker 14: I don't want to speculate on anything because often head injuries,

1353
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 14: you know, they're just a little mysterious and how they

1354
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 14: end up shaking out. But you know him in particular,

1355
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:35,280
Speaker 14: and you think about an extra day or two that

1356
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:37,080
Speaker 14: could have been pivotal, right.

1357
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, because clearing concussion protocol is obviously a step by

1358
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 2: step process, and sometimes players can't even make it out

1359
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 2: after being on that list for the week. So we'll

1360
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 2: hope for the best for Taron Johnson. Steve and I

1361
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 2: were actually hoping that maybe he was just kept out

1362
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 2: as a precaution regardless of what the examination revealed in

1363
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,640
Speaker 2: the locker room, because it's like, hey, we're up to scores,

1364
01:07:57,680 --> 01:07:59,439
Speaker 2: why don't you just sit out? We got this game

1365
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 2: in hand, And so I thought that we were kind

1366
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 2: of speculating, Hey, maybe they just sat guys that got

1367
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 2: a little dinged and say, hey, look, we're already down

1368
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 2: a day of extra rest this week. Why don't you

1369
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 2: just start resting now?

1370
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 14: Yeah, And I think there likely is some truth in that.

1371
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:21,160
Speaker 14: So I just love Taron Johnson's game. I mean, I

1372
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 14: love everything about him as a player. He's been one

1373
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:25,600
Speaker 14: of my favorite players to watch. This guy that I

1374
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:27,080
Speaker 14: wish I would have gotten to play in the same

1375
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 14: locker room as he's going into the locker room, and

1376
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,920
Speaker 14: so he's sprinting to the tunnel, trying to get into

1377
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:36,479
Speaker 14: the locker room to be able to go through the

1378
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 14: protocol the analysis at the time because of the head injury.

1379
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 14: He's sprinting to the tunnel. There's a pivotal third down

1380
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 14: coming up for Pittsburgh. He stops right at the edge

1381
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:47,639
Speaker 14: of the tunnel so that he can watch the play,

1382
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 14: and they're trying to corral him up the tunnel, and

1383
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 14: he refuses to go because he wants to watch his

1384
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 14: guys out there on the field for this pivotal third

1385
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:58,720
Speaker 14: down play and to me, very small moment, but just

1386
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 14: another thing that just epitomizes who he is and maybe

1387
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,800
Speaker 14: more maybe he was more excited, but no one in

1388
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,680
Speaker 14: my position was more excited to see him make the

1389
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 14: All Pro team last week, because this is a guy

1390
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 14: who I felt like has earned it for a number

1391
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 14: of years. He flies mainly under the radar because of

1392
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 14: some bigger names on this defense, but man, what he's

1393
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:22,560
Speaker 14: allowed Buffalo to do and being able to stay in

1394
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 14: nickel defense constantly. He matches up with tight ends, well,

1395
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 14: he matches up with slot receivers, and he is a

1396
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 14: weapon versus the run. It was awesome to see him

1397
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 14: get that All Pro nod last week.

1398
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:37,680
Speaker 2: Eric, thanks as always for the time. We appreciate it.

1399
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 2: We'll catch up with you on the weekend.

1400
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 5: All right, sounds good. Look forward to see you guys

1401
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 5: this weekend.

1402
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:42,599
Speaker 1: Thanks a.

1403
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:44,760
Speaker 2: That's Eric Wood joining us as he does the day

1404
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 2: after every Bills game here on One Bill's Live. And yeah,

1405
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:52,720
Speaker 2: I mean I'm really hoping that that's part of what

1406
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,640
Speaker 2: was at work last night. It's like, hey, look you

1407
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:58,320
Speaker 2: got a little nick tear. We got this game, we're

1408
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 2: up two scores. Why don't you just sit there to

1409
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:03,960
Speaker 2: this one out, start resting now for next week and

1410
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 2: hopefully you know, and we don't even know if Taron

1411
01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:10,160
Speaker 2: Johnson's in concussion protocol because, as we mentioned earlier, he

1412
01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 2: left the game late and the only word we got

1413
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:15,719
Speaker 2: was he was being examined for a head injury. Nothing

1414
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 2: was confirmed with respect to whether he was in concussion protocol.

1415
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 2: Nothing was given in terms of a status possibility of

1416
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 2: returning to the game. So the game just kind of

1417
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:29,600
Speaker 2: ended and there was no resolution on what his condition was.

1418
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 2: So we'll see if head coach Sean McDermot, why scheduled

1419
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 2: to address the media at four this afternoon, has any

1420
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 2: updates on him and a host of other players who

1421
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 2: got nicked in the game, namely Baylen Spector. He also

1422
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:45,599
Speaker 2: had Terrell Bernard who went down with an ankle injury,

1423
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 2: and he had Christian Benford who left the game with

1424
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 2: a knee injury, and you know Taron Johnson too, So yeah,

1425
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 2: it was it's a little disconcerting to see it.

1426
01:10:56,200 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know, Rasulle Doug was off the field anyway,

1427
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 6: right he's got to come. So we've got a chance

1428
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 6: to get some of these guys back on the field,

1429
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 6: but there's nothing that says they don't get hurt again

1430
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:11,800
Speaker 6: first quarter of the next game too. But you're trying

1431
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,840
Speaker 6: to get these guys back on the roster. Management at

1432
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,880
Speaker 6: this time of year is I mean, it's a it's

1433
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:20,760
Speaker 6: a you're trying to keep fifty three guys in the air, right,

1434
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 6: your fifty three balls in the air, and it's uh,

1435
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:28,160
Speaker 6: it's a lot. It's a lot because the later in

1436
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 6: the week you get, the more information you have, and

1437
01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 6: you know you can make some decisions a little earlier.

1438
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 6: But practice time comes into consideration because some of these

1439
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:39,160
Speaker 6: guys you get down these backups, it's like who's practicing

1440
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 6: the best, that's who's gonna play right, and that means

1441
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:44,840
Speaker 6: you may have a different guy active at the other end.

1442
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:46,720
Speaker 6: You know, Andy Isabella got up this last week and

1443
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:49,320
Speaker 6: had a chance to help out a couple of times.

1444
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 6: So you never know how it's gonna fall. And that's

1445
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:57,240
Speaker 6: it's crazy to even try and predict it, like because

1446
01:11:57,240 --> 01:11:59,040
Speaker 6: we don't you know, because it's up to the really

1447
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:00,759
Speaker 6: the players and how that how how fast they recover.

1448
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 2: Let's jump back on the tweets. Sheet heard one Bill's

1449
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:09,679
Speaker 2: Live on Twitter and from Bill's Mafia season. They say

1450
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 2: we need to get healthy and fast, But man, is

1451
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 2: it remarkable what McDermott has done with our defense. Also

1452
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 2: happy for Kayeir to get some confidence back. Tough year

1453
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 2: for him. It's been a tough year due to lack

1454
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:25,200
Speaker 2: of opportunity and injury, not really anything else. I mean,

1455
01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:29,040
Speaker 2: his opportunities have been limited. That's a coaching decision, and

1456
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 2: he had an injury that landed him on injured reserve.

1457
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 2: Those happened. But to see him shake the rust off yesterday,

1458
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:40,040
Speaker 2: bounce back from a play two plays earlier that set

1459
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:42,800
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers up first in goal and come away

1460
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:45,120
Speaker 2: with a takeaway in the end zone and quite literally

1461
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 2: take points off the board was huge, not only for

1462
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:51,200
Speaker 2: the team and the outcome of the game, but for

1463
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:53,320
Speaker 2: his own personal confidence going forward.

1464
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:53,720
Speaker 1: Right.

1465
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 6: It's you know what you talk about a roller coaster.

1466
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 6: Think about Kyrie Eatam. You had the pass interfere it's

1467
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 6: got him first and goal on the one or whatever

1468
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:02,680
Speaker 6: it was.

1469
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:04,400
Speaker 2: I think it was a nine or yeah.

1470
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:07,400
Speaker 6: Something like that. And you know, next player or two,

1471
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 6: he's you know, he's walking away with the football in

1472
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 6: the end zone as a gigantic play.

1473
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 1: A gigantic play.

1474
01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:18,879
Speaker 2: It's in the same vicinity as the Micah Hyde intercept

1475
01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:21,719
Speaker 2: right in the wild card game against the Patriots, same

1476
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:24,920
Speaker 2: side of the end zone, the same corner. Much different play.

1477
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 2: But that's a little lucky spot for Bill's defensive backs

1478
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:34,599
Speaker 2: because I mean, we've seen it before down there.

1479
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,200
Speaker 1: Will another one this week, hopefully.

1480
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones and we'll check in with

1481
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:39,920
Speaker 2: Tom in north Tonawanda.

1482
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:44,320
Speaker 15: What's up, Tom, Hey, good morning, how are your afternoon. Yeah,

1483
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:47,800
Speaker 15: I guess I'm an armchair play caller, and it frustrates

1484
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:49,719
Speaker 15: the heck out of me every time there's a third

1485
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 15: and two and they throw a long pass instead of

1486
01:13:52,479 --> 01:13:55,400
Speaker 15: running the ball. What's what's the theory behind that?

1487
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:59,400
Speaker 2: Well? I think a lot of times for Josh it's

1488
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:03,840
Speaker 2: kind of predic on the look. I mean, sometimes where

1489
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:07,640
Speaker 2: you are on the field will predicate whether or not

1490
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:10,600
Speaker 2: to take a shot. I remember when Brian Dable was

1491
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 2: the oc here if this team was between the forties

1492
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:17,680
Speaker 2: and they had a second and one or even sometimes

1493
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:20,519
Speaker 2: a third and short on occasion, not usually third and short,

1494
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:22,680
Speaker 2: but second and short they would take a shot play

1495
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:24,680
Speaker 2: because they knew they had third and short to work with.

1496
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 2: I'm not going to pretend to remember the third and

1497
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:30,800
Speaker 2: short you're referring to specifically from yesterday's game, but I

1498
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:33,640
Speaker 2: think the shot plays were few and far between. They

1499
01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:37,559
Speaker 2: got the turnover on the forest fumble by Terarren Johnson

1500
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:40,720
Speaker 2: that was recovered by Terrell Bernard. The next play, they

1501
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 2: take a shot down the scene twenty nine yards for

1502
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:46,360
Speaker 2: a touchdown. You've got a quarterback who can reach any

1503
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 2: part of the field with his arm. That's why you

1504
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 2: throw it on third and short. Sometimes for a big play,

1505
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:54,679
Speaker 2: not often. Yeah, but you gotta take your shots.

1506
01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:58,559
Speaker 1: I'm hesitant because I get it. Armchirk. You're an Armchirk

1507
01:14:58,600 --> 01:14:59,800
Speaker 1: play caller, just like I am.

1508
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 6: And when you get in there and you start thinking

1509
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:06,360
Speaker 6: about what's going on and you see something happen twice

1510
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 6: and it doesn't work, I would say, you know, go

1511
01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 6: back and watch the game on a on a third

1512
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 6: and two, I don't know how many third and twos

1513
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 6: they had that they threw the ball deep. I'd be shocked,

1514
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:22,599
Speaker 6: and probably count on one thing I would shot. I'd

1515
01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:25,680
Speaker 6: be shocked. If it was three. So I'm saying they

1516
01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:27,479
Speaker 6: do that all the time or what they're doing that.

1517
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:29,760
Speaker 6: And plus, if you're gonna do it, you know you

1518
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:31,680
Speaker 6: do it once during the game. Okay, I you know,

1519
01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:34,799
Speaker 6: take a shot. And I'll say this as well, anytime

1520
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:39,400
Speaker 6: you go deep, unless it's a four vertical, even if

1521
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:42,920
Speaker 6: it is four verts, if you're gonna go deep, that's

1522
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 6: on the quarterback. I ain't know a play caller. I

1523
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:47,800
Speaker 6: mean you can say what you want. Well, yeah, no,

1524
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:49,840
Speaker 6: you gotta check. You always have a check down every

1525
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 6: pass play. So if if he's going deep when you

1526
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:54,760
Speaker 6: don't think he should talk to the quarterback more than

1527
01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:57,200
Speaker 6: the play caller because every play in the NFL, almost

1528
01:15:57,200 --> 01:15:59,800
Speaker 6: every single play has got somebody going taking the lid

1529
01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:04,840
Speaker 6: off defense all every single play. So and it's the

1530
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 6: quarterback's job to pick and choose where he throws it.

1531
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:10,559
Speaker 6: So you know, don't crush the play caller. When it's

1532
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:12,920
Speaker 6: a third and two and the quarterback thinks he's got

1533
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:15,120
Speaker 6: a shot at it, he's gonna make that throw, especially

1534
01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:20,840
Speaker 6: our guy, right, But I did not notice anything about

1535
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:23,080
Speaker 6: throwing the ball deep consistently on a third and two.

1536
01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:26,719
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here. When we return,

1537
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:29,640
Speaker 2: we will go around the locker room here from some

1538
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:32,519
Speaker 2: of the players on the victory over the Steelers in

1539
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:34,840
Speaker 2: the wild Card playoff game, and we'll get more of

1540
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:37,120
Speaker 2: your phone calls in as well. Here on One Bill's

1541
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:39,479
Speaker 2: Live presented by Colid of Health. It's Buffalo Bills.

1542
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:55,800
Speaker 16: Radio Time now for around the Locker Room, presented by

1543
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 16: connect Life, your blood and organ donor Network, and we

1544
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 16: begin with Austin Knox and Dalton kin Gay.

1545
01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 2: The two tight ends were at the postgame podium after

1546
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 2: the win over the Steelers, and both of them were

1547
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 2: asked for their reaction to the fifty two yard touchdown

1548
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:12,759
Speaker 2: run by Josh Allen.

1549
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 4: It's almost normal now, him making a crazy play like

1550
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 4: that almost every single game. Sometimes you just you can't

1551
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:23,719
Speaker 4: help but just to sit back and be a fan.

1552
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:28,519
Speaker 4: It's like in your head, you're you're screaming slide. But

1553
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 4: then he's just you know, weaving in and out of defenders,

1554
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 4: running guys over. It's hard to tell him guy to

1555
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:35,320
Speaker 4: slide when he's doing stuff like that.

1556
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,800
Speaker 14: So normal for you, Dalton, at this point, you're still

1557
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 14: in your one one.

1558
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 17: It's it's still surprising to me, you know, it's just like,

1559
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:44,600
Speaker 17: how does he stay up? How does he get the

1560
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:46,640
Speaker 17: extra yards? And then tonight it was you know, how

1561
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:50,800
Speaker 17: did he score that touchdown? So I don't know when

1562
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:53,759
Speaker 17: it will get normal, but it's it's cool to watch.

1563
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 18: You were the closest to him, I think while he's

1564
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:58,559
Speaker 18: running that, So what's going through your head as you're

1565
01:17:58,560 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 18: watching him?

1566
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 5: He got a double dude.

1567
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:05,000
Speaker 17: I mean I'm watching it just like all right, and

1568
01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:07,799
Speaker 17: then I'm like okay, and then he just keeps going somehow,

1569
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:11,120
Speaker 17: and he's a special player, you know, best quarterback in

1570
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:11,800
Speaker 17: the week for a reason.

1571
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty crazy. These guys see him every single

1572
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 2: day and even they're amazed. Yeah, I mean they're around him,

1573
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:24,680
Speaker 2: they talk to him. He's not like this far off superhero,

1574
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:25,000
Speaker 2: you know.

1575
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1576
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:27,800
Speaker 6: I hung out with some great players when I was

1577
01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:30,519
Speaker 6: playing to and sometimes you get immune to it a little,

1578
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:34,759
Speaker 6: but every so often something happens like like, dude, Yeah,

1579
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:35,640
Speaker 6: it's amazing.

1580
01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:41,120
Speaker 2: Pretty crazy. Cornerback hyer Elim saw his first action in

1581
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 2: quite some time as he returned to the lineup to

1582
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:48,400
Speaker 2: help spell an injured Christian Benford, his draft classmate. In

1583
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:52,800
Speaker 2: the game, admitted he was a little rusty having been

1584
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 2: off the game field for quite some time, but got

1585
01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:59,360
Speaker 2: right back into the flow and also got an interception.

1586
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:01,439
Speaker 2: Here's Kaye on his return to the lineup.

1587
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:05,599
Speaker 11: Do you know why where I was mentally a couple

1588
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 11: of months ago? I probably, I don't know. I just

1589
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:12,719
Speaker 11: I was just so grateful, man, so grateful.

1590
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:14,240
Speaker 5: What did you see? What did you see on the play?

1591
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 5: Take us through?

1592
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:16,200
Speaker 7: What did I see?

1593
01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 11: It was just man and man. He gave me a

1594
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:22,760
Speaker 11: quick outside release. I got my hands on. He tried

1595
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:24,640
Speaker 11: to he tried to like speed up his feet to

1596
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 11: make me go over the top, and I just slipped it.

1597
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:28,280
Speaker 11: I slipped herout in the end zone and just was

1598
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:30,120
Speaker 11: able to secure my feet into two feet into.

1599
01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:31,800
Speaker 5: You can talk about where you were mentally a couple

1600
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:32,080
Speaker 5: months ago.

1601
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 6: Where were you mentally after the last two plays where

1602
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 6: you get up mentally in a mission tagle for the

1603
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:36,559
Speaker 6: first time.

1604
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:38,719
Speaker 11: Damn starting off on the negatives already, man.

1605
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:40,880
Speaker 16: You talk about that, we'll see like where you were

1606
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:42,920
Speaker 16: there and going to where you were mentally after the

1607
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:43,280
Speaker 16: pick too.

1608
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 11: I just felt like everything that I've been through has

1609
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:49,800
Speaker 11: made me stronger, you know, So I didn't let those

1610
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:51,640
Speaker 11: two plays really affect you, you know what I mean. Like

1611
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:54,280
Speaker 11: me earlier in the season, I probably would let things

1612
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:56,640
Speaker 11: affected you, you know what I mean. And dude, it my

1613
01:19:56,680 --> 01:19:59,360
Speaker 11: whole story. Man, I've just been grown mentally stronger, you know.

1614
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:02,200
Speaker 11: And you know I was trying to battle through some

1615
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 11: my foot and I really couldn't run, couldn't sprint, could nothing.

1616
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 11: But I'm trying to force myself to play and play

1617
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 11: well and it just just would happened. But you know,

1618
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:12,559
Speaker 11: I just want to thank God and my teammates will

1619
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:15,840
Speaker 11: never allow me to, you know, give up, and I

1620
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:17,680
Speaker 11: always continue to work hard, especially when I got that

1621
01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:18,240
Speaker 11: help him out.

1622
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:22,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you got to give him credit. And you know,

1623
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:25,959
Speaker 2: you talk, people talk all the time about how resilient

1624
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:29,120
Speaker 2: and resourceful this team is. The reason they are is

1625
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 2: because of that kind of a mindset. Here's a guy

1626
01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 2: that really hasn't played significant snaps since Week five in London, right,

1627
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:40,559
Speaker 2: and now he's in a playoff game. I mean, those

1628
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:43,160
Speaker 2: are big stakes to come in after that kind of

1629
01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:45,559
Speaker 2: a layoff, and it was a little rocky at the beginning.

1630
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 2: He admitted it, but the guy more than redeemed himself

1631
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:53,439
Speaker 2: and his teammates were there to kind of encourage him

1632
01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:55,559
Speaker 2: even more after he did make a play, like, yeah,

1633
01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 2: you can do this for us.

1634
01:20:57,439 --> 01:21:00,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've I remember feeling that way.

1635
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 6: You get guys who haven't had a chance to contribute,

1636
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:04,519
Speaker 6: haven't had a chance to get on the field and

1637
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:06,960
Speaker 6: done that, and you see him in practice working and

1638
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 6: you feel and you kind of got a lot of

1639
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:10,519
Speaker 6: respect for him because they play well in practice, they

1640
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:12,680
Speaker 6: do what they're supposed to do. They have they have

1641
01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:15,320
Speaker 6: strengths and weaknesses and all that, but you feel like

1642
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:18,080
Speaker 6: when they get on the on the field, you've.

1643
01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:18,840
Speaker 1: Watched them practice.

1644
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:20,880
Speaker 6: I like as a defensive back and I was a

1645
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 6: wide receiver, I would see these guys and play against

1646
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:24,759
Speaker 6: him and you know a guy, he's tough.

1647
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:24,960
Speaker 17: You know.

1648
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:27,720
Speaker 6: Uh, they had some you know, something to offer the

1649
01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:29,640
Speaker 6: team when they finally get a chance to do it.

1650
01:21:29,680 --> 01:21:31,800
Speaker 6: Sometimes the guys that practice against them have more faith

1651
01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:34,800
Speaker 6: in them than the guy themselves, Like, dude, you're hard

1652
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:37,240
Speaker 6: to play against. Go out and show them, you know

1653
01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:41,320
Speaker 6: it's and it's it's really a cool spot to be

1654
01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:43,600
Speaker 6: in as a teammate. It's a great opportunity as a

1655
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:45,680
Speaker 6: teammate to show, you know, let the guy know how

1656
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 6: much you love and respect him, and I think a

1657
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:49,000
Speaker 6: lot of guys did that for Kaiyir yesterday.

1658
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 1: Dude, I see you in practice every day. You got this.

1659
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:51,800
Speaker 1: Let's go.

1660
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:56,720
Speaker 6: You know, we all know, hopefully a lot of us know.

1661
01:21:57,439 --> 01:21:59,640
Speaker 6: To have somebody say that to you and give you

1662
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:02,599
Speaker 6: like do I got you? You got this is pretty

1663
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 6: cool to hear, and perhaps his teammates do that for

1664
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 6: him is nice to hear about it.

1665
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:08,639
Speaker 2: It wasn't just as defensive teammates, because as I mentioned earlier,

1666
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:10,599
Speaker 2: Josh Allen went right up to him after he scored

1667
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 2: on the fifty two touch fifty two yard touchdown run,

1668
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:17,200
Speaker 2: which was possible because of his interception in the end zone,

1669
01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:19,599
Speaker 2: because they go back down the other way and Josh

1670
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:22,000
Speaker 2: CAP's the drive with that run, and he goes right

1671
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:23,599
Speaker 2: up to him, and I don't know what he said,

1672
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:25,920
Speaker 2: but probably something to the effect of, you made that

1673
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:29,559
Speaker 2: opportunity happen with your interception, so good on you, And

1674
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:32,360
Speaker 2: I want to talk about lifting somebody up. There's your

1675
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:34,879
Speaker 2: captain on the football team and probably the best athlete

1676
01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 2: on the squad thanking the guy that made the pick

1677
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:39,439
Speaker 2: at the other end of the field. Pretty cool stuff.

1678
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 2: BET's go back to the phones and to John infre Donia,

1679
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:43,839
Speaker 2: who's waiting.

1680
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:44,719
Speaker 1: What's up John?

1681
01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 18: Hey, guys, how you doing good?

1682
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:47,320
Speaker 1: Good?

1683
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:48,880
Speaker 7: Hey?

1684
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:53,080
Speaker 18: Two things real quick for you? On number one, when

1685
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 18: my dog's going stupid. Number one. There are bad calls.

1686
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:01,559
Speaker 18: There are non calls in every game, every year, every

1687
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:05,280
Speaker 18: season we see that. But the Bills had two penalties

1688
01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:09,760
Speaker 18: yesterday the entire game. And that's discipline and that goes

1689
01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 18: a long way in the playoffs especially. And number two

1690
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:16,519
Speaker 18: this Josh Allen. He's the first one to take the

1691
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 18: blame when we lose. He's the last one to take

1692
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 18: threat at when we win. And that's the mark of

1693
01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:21,519
Speaker 18: a true leader.

1694
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:21,640
Speaker 5: Man.

1695
01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:22,799
Speaker 18: I hope he's around for whoever.

1696
01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:27,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, well said John. Can't disagree with you there. I

1697
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:31,840
Speaker 2: will tell you that the Bill's got a very favorable

1698
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 2: official assignment, Carl Cheffers, at least according to numbers that

1699
01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:40,400
Speaker 2: I saw call his crew. Now keep this in mind too,

1700
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:43,880
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, there are mixed crews. It's not just

1701
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:45,640
Speaker 2: the it's not the crew that they have in the

1702
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:49,280
Speaker 2: regular season. They put the best and highest rated officials

1703
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:53,400
Speaker 2: at all roles and responsibilities in a crew together, so

1704
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:57,320
Speaker 2: they have mixed crews, but it was Carl Cheffer's yesterday,

1705
01:23:57,720 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 2: and he had three of the members of his crew

1706
01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:04,439
Speaker 2: on assignment with him yesterday here in Buffalo, along with

1707
01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:08,200
Speaker 2: you know, three other officials from different crews. But Carl

1708
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:10,720
Speaker 2: Cheffer's crew, through the course of the regular season called

1709
01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:15,720
Speaker 2: the fewest penalties in the league on home teams. May

1710
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:18,759
Speaker 2: have had something to do with it. Maybe not. Yeah,

1711
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:21,400
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to dismiss the discipline of the football team.

1712
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:25,600
Speaker 2: I mean, they played a pretty clean game yesterday, but

1713
01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:28,080
Speaker 2: there may be something to that as well, because we've

1714
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:31,800
Speaker 2: also seen examples where CRUs over officiate.

1715
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:36,200
Speaker 6: We've had these conversations throughout the year, and there have

1716
01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:39,960
Speaker 6: been a lot of games, particularly obviously in support of

1717
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:42,479
Speaker 6: the point I'm trying to make. I've said this before

1718
01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:46,000
Speaker 6: about the officiating this year. The league has got a

1719
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:48,080
Speaker 6: ton of games that are close, and we're not hearing

1720
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:49,960
Speaker 6: too much about the officiating one way or the other.

1721
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:52,280
Speaker 6: In this game, there's a couple of plays where, you know,

1722
01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:54,679
Speaker 6: the fumble and the challenge that Bills fans thought should

1723
01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:57,320
Speaker 6: have been overturned, of the non call on the pass

1724
01:24:57,360 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 6: interference on Dame Jackson there on the last fourth down,

1725
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:04,840
Speaker 6: you know. But they also called it on Kyrie Elamy

1726
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:07,599
Speaker 6: in all the stuff, not too much about this game,

1727
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:10,320
Speaker 6: mostly because it was a fourteen point.

1728
01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:11,720
Speaker 1: Win by the home team.

1729
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:16,640
Speaker 6: In my opinion, this NFL officiating is as high at

1730
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:19,800
Speaker 6: a level, it's as high as elite as it's been

1731
01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:21,680
Speaker 6: ever in the history of the game. And I'll say

1732
01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:25,160
Speaker 6: why people are going crazy about it is two things. One,

1733
01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:28,240
Speaker 6: bitter guys who are silly enough to bet on the

1734
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:31,160
Speaker 6: game think and they know what's going to happen and lose,

1735
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 6: and then they get mad at whatever they think was

1736
01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:36,000
Speaker 6: the reason for it. And two, the games are so close.

1737
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:38,920
Speaker 6: It has always been this way when the NFL has

1738
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 6: a lot of close games, and this year there's as

1739
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:43,800
Speaker 6: many as any other year around when they have a

1740
01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:48,080
Speaker 6: ton of close games, there's only one, two, a maximum

1741
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:51,080
Speaker 6: of three plays during the game that make a difference,

1742
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:54,120
Speaker 6: and you got a chance at an official being involved

1743
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:56,840
Speaker 6: in one, two, or all three of those plays. When

1744
01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:59,320
Speaker 6: it doesn't go your way, you think the officiating stinks.

1745
01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:02,240
Speaker 6: If you goes your way, you don't say anything about it.

1746
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:05,040
Speaker 6: If it's a bad call, it's one thing. If it's

1747
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:07,479
Speaker 6: a non call, it's another. And if the guy calls

1748
01:26:07,479 --> 01:26:10,599
Speaker 6: a penalty and it is a penalty, people still complain.

1749
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:14,880
Speaker 6: They still complain the Kansas City game. In point, the

1750
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 6: Bills game against Kansas City, when the guy's lined up

1751
01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:21,040
Speaker 6: this far off sides and they call a penalty, everybody's

1752
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:23,080
Speaker 6: up in arms like, Oh, you should have let the guy,

1753
01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:25,120
Speaker 6: You should have waved the guy, you should have helped him,

1754
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 6: Like they can't win. These games are close because the

1755
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:33,920
Speaker 6: league wants close competitive games. They everything about the offseason

1756
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:37,800
Speaker 6: and the structure of everything is parody. They want every

1757
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:39,880
Speaker 6: team to be eight and nine, nine and eight and

1758
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:42,400
Speaker 6: have come Everything come down to a ton of tie breakers.

1759
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:44,640
Speaker 6: It's so competitive and so hard to win and get

1760
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:48,479
Speaker 6: an edge. That's where the league focuses its efforts on.

1761
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:51,519
Speaker 6: And when you get there. One of the symptoms is

1762
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:54,639
Speaker 6: one little call at the wrong time makes a difference

1763
01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:55,920
Speaker 6: in the game. Well that's the way it is.

1764
01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 2: Well, they get magnified when the game is closed. When

1765
01:26:58,520 --> 01:27:01,680
Speaker 2: the game is closed, everything gets happened. It takes its unquestionable.

1766
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:04,160
Speaker 6: If it's a bad non call, Okay, if it's a

1767
01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:06,120
Speaker 6: If it's a call and they get it right, shut up.

1768
01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:08,479
Speaker 1: If it's a call that they should have made and didn't.

1769
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:09,400
Speaker 1: That's another thing.

1770
01:27:10,040 --> 01:27:13,040
Speaker 6: I mean, they can't win, and they can't they're gonna

1771
01:27:13,040 --> 01:27:14,880
Speaker 6: get it right or they're not gonna get it right.

1772
01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:15,639
Speaker 1: But don't give me.

1773
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 6: This if like the officials decided it, listen, don't give

1774
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:21,600
Speaker 6: them a chance to. I mean, that's the way it is.

1775
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:24,840
Speaker 6: The officials aren't aren't any worse or better than they've

1776
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:27,880
Speaker 6: ever been. But the games are so competitive and so close,

1777
01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:30,200
Speaker 6: and you get it boiled down to the nuts and bolts.

1778
01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:32,760
Speaker 6: One call does make a difference. But you want them

1779
01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:35,880
Speaker 6: to call the rules. This isn't for lack of a

1780
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 6: better way. But this is in the NHL, where they

1781
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:40,800
Speaker 6: even the analysts say, hey, they're not going to call

1782
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:43,320
Speaker 6: penalties in the third they like trumpet the fact that

1783
01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:46,640
Speaker 6: it's arbitrary. In the NFL, they don't want it to

1784
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:48,960
Speaker 6: be arbitrary. If it's overtime, call it just like you

1785
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 6: did in the first quarter. They don't do that. They

1786
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:53,280
Speaker 6: try to get it right all the time, and they don't.

1787
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:56,679
Speaker 6: But it's not for lack of trying. And these games

1788
01:27:56,680 --> 01:27:58,840
Speaker 6: are so competitive that when you come down to one call, yeah,

1789
01:27:58,840 --> 01:28:01,880
Speaker 6: everybody's gonna have The people are gonna be bitter. So

1790
01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:05,800
Speaker 6: I'm the NFL officiating is as good as it's ever been.

1791
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:09,280
Speaker 6: The games are more competitive, and they're more decid dissected

1792
01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:13,559
Speaker 6: by video and analysis and reverse replays, all of that stuff.

1793
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:15,920
Speaker 2: Every former officials who are analysts now.

1794
01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:18,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, now they've got guys picking their calls apart in

1795
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:21,280
Speaker 6: real time. Yeah, it's gonna it's better look bad.

1796
01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:24,680
Speaker 2: The best way to overcome questionable officiating is to make

1797
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:26,639
Speaker 2: your own breaks to the point where you're comfortably ahead

1798
01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:28,840
Speaker 2: in a football game and it doesn't become part of

1799
01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:31,120
Speaker 2: the outcome. Got to take a break here. When we

1800
01:28:31,160 --> 01:28:35,919
Speaker 2: come back. Bill's owner Terry Pagoula had some flowery comments

1801
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:39,120
Speaker 2: for Bill's Mafia. We'll explain when we return here on

1802
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 2: one Bill's Live presented by Colida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio,

1803
01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:58,320
Speaker 2: all right. As we mentioned before the break, Bill's owner

1804
01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:01,720
Speaker 2: Terry Paula had a comment that he issued on the

1805
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:07,200
Speaker 2: Bill's social media post on x or Twitter, and it says,

1806
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:09,719
Speaker 2: best fans in the world, all the love for Bill's Mafia.

1807
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,439
Speaker 2: Here's the statement from mister Pegula. I know the stadium

1808
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:14,600
Speaker 2: conditions weren't the best because of the storm, but the

1809
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:18,040
Speaker 2: playful attitude and energy you brought yesterday was electric and memorable.

1810
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:21,200
Speaker 2: I'll never forget your snow celebrations during the game and

1811
01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:24,600
Speaker 2: after our touchdowns. Thank you Bill's Mafia for being a

1812
01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:29,080
Speaker 2: class act. See you on Sunday night. That's from Terry Pagula,

1813
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:31,599
Speaker 2: the owner. Pretty cool git a tip of the hat

1814
01:29:31,920 --> 01:29:32,679
Speaker 2: Bill's Mafia.

1815
01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:36,439
Speaker 1: It was amazing night. Hope we can repeat it.

1816
01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:41,240
Speaker 2: That would be a welcome reprisal. We've got Dan Orlovsky tomorrow.

1817
01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:51,200
Speaker 2: We'll see it one
