Speaker 1: Cutdown Buffalo at a Steve Taster who has been all

2
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: over the field, kind of unique. He was kind of

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: a dual role player for you, Steve a blimp. We're

4
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: not even in the credit fear of normalcy. You can't

5
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: count out much in the NFL this year. Who are

6
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: you playing? Winning a play? Where's the game? Who's gonna play?

7
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes it feels that gets all up in the air.

8
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: But the Buffalo Bills look to finish up Week fourteen

9

Speaker 1: with the victory, the Bills go to nine and three

47
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: and the forty nine Ers dropped the five and seven.

48
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: Their playoff hopes took a serious hit tonight. Welcome to

49
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: a Bill's Victory Tuesday edition. Chris Brown Steve Tasker after

50
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: a rollicking night of fun and big plays to points

51
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: and fourth downs and stops at the goal line and

52
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: interceptions and another victory as the NFC West has quickly

53
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: become Buffalo's little brother, to go well less and I

54
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: kind of fell asleep, Buffalo fell asleep. You were doing

55
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: the game of the radio. Yeah, yeah, went well. I

56
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: guess yeah, I'm gonna go well, Oh my gosh. Yeah,

57
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: they're seven and one against the AFC East and the

58
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: NFC West combined, and the only one is a is

59
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: a miracle. Hail Mary. How about them apples. That's a

60
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: pretty good that's a pretty good stretch. Right there. Um,

61
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: the Bills are they could They could not have looked

62
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: better last night. Yeah, they could not have looked better

63
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: against that team. And I am not gonna take anything

64
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: away from the Bill's performance. It was fantastic. It's probably

65
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: their most complete win of the season in terms of

66
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: all three phases because Tyler Bass is putting kicks through,

67
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: the defense is getting takeaways and fourth down stops, third

68
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: down stops, and the offense is what we saw. The

69
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: offense was a juggernaut. Um, who was San Francisco last night?

70
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: As you saw it, just real quick. I'm not going

71
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,119
Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time on the forty nine ers,

72
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: but oh wow, okay, let's not forget this. Okay. The

73
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: line at the beginning of the week, if memory serves,

74
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: the Bills were laying three points right, and the Niners

75
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: were a three point home dog, right, And the money

76
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: moved from Saturday to Sunday to the point where I

77
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: believe the Niners were a one point favorite going into

78
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: the game last night. Is that correct? Yeah, so a

79
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: four point swing, So I think we know where the

80
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: country stood in terms of where they were putting their

81
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: money to move the line to that degree. The Niners

82
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: would cover three and a half points right right with

83
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback, Like I mean, you want to talk

84
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: about disrespect? Come on now, I'll say this too. And

85
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this because I told you I

86
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: gotta come clean. I had a bad feeling about the game. Yes,

87
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: you did, and you didn't like. I don't think you

88
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: like the matchup with with the Niners run game. Particularly,

89
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: it got worse when you get outside of the football stuff.

90
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: You never bet against a home underdog on a Monday night.

91
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: They always cover, yeah, always. The fact the fact that

92
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: they came back and got to be the favorite by

93
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: one point kind of gave me some a little bit

94
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: more comfort, made me feel a little better about the

95
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: game because you never bet on You always bet on

96
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: the home underdog. Yeah, And it didn't work out that

97
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: with the Bills. No. I will say this though, Steve.

98
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: You look at that first series or two of the game, okay,

99
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: and we knew going in it was gonna be a

100
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: physical game. We had Brian Greasy on the show yesterday,

101
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: who we're gonna get to in a second because I

102
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: have a bone to pick there as well, But he

103
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: said he thought it was going to be the most

104
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: physical game they had on Monday Night so far this season.

105
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: That first couple of series, Steve Cole Beasley comes out

106
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: gets checked for a head injury. They're a little extra

107
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: after the every tackle that the forty nine ers are

108
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: dishing out. I think Zack Moss went off for a

109
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: little bit to get checked out for his knee and

110
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: because he got a shot, Devin Singletary came on and

111
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary came off, and I'm sitting there going all right,

112
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,119
Speaker 1: it's gonna be one of them games. Let's see, Let's

113
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: see if these guys are ready to go toe to

114
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: toe in that kind of a game, because you want

115
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: to get in a high flying passing game. I don't

116
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: think any Bills fan blinks for a second. Yeah, we'll

117
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: take that. Do you want to go with our guy?

118
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: We got our guy, you know that kind of thing.

119
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: But when we're gonna mash it up and just get

120
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: down and dirty and have an alley fight kind of game,

121
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: what are we gonna get from this Bill's team? We

122
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: got an answer last night, they responded, and it led

123
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: to the point where they could play the kind of

124
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: game they like to play to win, which is thrown

125
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: it all over the yard. And I know there were

126
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: some people that were saying going into this game, oh,

127
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: you know, the Bills should try to run the ball

128
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: a little bit more. I didn't like that idea at all.

129
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: This Niners run front is big, strong, stout. I didn't

130
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: like the idea that. I was like, Hell, they've got

131
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: four of their top six corners injured and we got

132
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: we're only missing John Brown here, spread them out and

133
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: let's go. And I am so glad that they did,

134
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: because my god, it was pitch and catch last night. Yeah,

135
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: look like a JV team in the secondary. Yeah, and

136
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: it and the Bills did answer. And you look at

137
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: those first couple of series the Bills come up on

138
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: they get stopped on fourth and short on the one

139
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: yard line trying to go in, and I think everybody

140
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, that's what you want to go for

141
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,239
Speaker 1: it on this right. It didn't work. They turn around

142
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: and the Niners go ninety seven yards to get down

143
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: first and goal, and great tackle by Micah Hide holds

144
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: the receiver out of the end zone. It's second and

145
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: five inches. First of all, they shouldn't even been down

146
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: there right past interference. Hello, that got him out. Of

147
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: the zone. You're off the field, right, That was ridiculous. Yeah,

148
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: and horrible call that got him, that got him out

149
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: of their own en zone. They get down there though

150
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: it's a it's second and six inches. They get a

151
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: false start, so it's now it's second and goal from

152
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: the five and the Bills hold them out. They didn't

153
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: get in and they go for it on fourth down

154
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: on the one yard line, and the Bills hold them out,

155
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: and then of course the Zach Moss fumbled and sent

156
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: him to the bench for the remain almost the reminder

157
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: of the entire game, they take a seven nothing lead.

158
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: In the Bill's answer, I was despondent after that touchdown

159
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: and the Zach Moss fumble, and my son left the

160
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: room like I'm looking at him, like, really, you realize

161
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: it's like fifty three minutes left in this game, Mike,

162
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: Did you realize that? Right? I was despondent. Then you know,

163
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: the Bills come back and they answer, and all of

164
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: a sudden, Cole Beasley starts to have the half that

165
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: he has, and you know, it was late. It was

166
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: late in the game before Corey ber Orch has ever

167
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: had to do his job. Had one punt on the

168
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: night and Bills, and I'll tell you what, it was

169
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: a big one. I couldn't resist. I tweeted it last night,

170
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: probably about the third quarter. I said, I'm just gonna

171
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: leave this here. Bills came into the game with the

172
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: fewest punts in the league this season and they've yet

173
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: to punt. That was like midway through the third quarter

174
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: in punt to the fourth quarter, and they were two

175
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: or three on fourth down tries. We will get into

176
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: that as well, because coach McDermot addressed that very topic about,

177
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: you know, win probabilities live in game updates and making

178
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: those decisions, so we will cover that as well. I

179
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: was remissed that was Toshiba Game Rewind, the official copy

180
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: or company of the Buffalo Bills. As we led off

181
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: with the highlight reel from last night's game. As the

182
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: Bills are now nine and three, Steelers lost yesterday, now

183
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: eleven and one Chiefs also eleven and one, Bills are

184
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: the closest pursuers of the teams at the top of

185
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: the AFC Conference race, with an opportunity to pull within

186
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: a game of the Steelers if they can win on

187
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: Sunday night when they host Pittsburgh here at Bill Stadium

188
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park, Sunday night football just six days away.

189
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: Five days away. What am I saying? There's a five

190
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: day on Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturdays. Yeah, I mean

191
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: not counting today. I'm not counting today. Five days away.

192
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: And as we understand it, the Bills have off today

193
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: understandably after that travel, I think they do film. They'll

194
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: probably do I'm guessing here, I don't know this. They're

195
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: probably doing film review tomorrow, and then they are back

196
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: on the practice field Thursday for a regular Wednesday type

197
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: practice Tomorrow, I would say Wednesday's film review, workouts. Treatment.

198
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: They'll get treatment today. I mean they get a day off.

199
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: They get a day off, but they'll come in, get

200
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: tested today and go home. They'll and guys will hang around.

201
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: They'll get treat you know, injuries, bumps, bruises, some guys

202
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 1: who didn't play the rious committing bow. They'll get to

203
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: some conditioning in They've got a routine that they will

204
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: adhere to even on their days off. Um and and

205
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: guys like I would I think Josh Allen Barkley quarterbacks

206
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: save Us Webb, they're in. They spend all day, or

207
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: they're or they're in a zoom meeting from home talking

208
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: to day Ball, they're watching film, they're doing all this. Yeah,

209
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: I don't know that they're I haven't laid eyes on

210
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,599
Speaker 1: these guys for months. Well, with the enhanced protocols, I

211
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: would tend to think it's virtual, yes, right, So, but

212
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: they are. They are engaged in the game planning process

213
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: and so that's all going on as well. But it's

214
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: interesting the thing you said about, you know, going forward

215
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: on fourth down. We'll get into that. You know, this game,

216
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. Now the media is going like, how are

217
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: you doing this right? Right? And this isn't the first

218
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: year they've operated this way, but the Bills have two

219
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: assistant coaches up in the coach's booth during the games

220
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: and they are crunching the numbers in real time. Now,

221
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: there are some things that they calculate during the week

222
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: for potential scenarios I'm assuming based on game plan that

223
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: they can calculate prior to the game, and then there

224
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: are other elements that they obviously have to do in

225
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: real time during the game to assess win probability success

226
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: rate on certain down and distant situations at certain portion

227
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: parts of the field, based on the opponent they're facing,

228
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: personnel grouping, all of that stuff. They crunch all those

229
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: numbers and give it to coach McDermott in an easily

230
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: digestible way so he can make the split second decision

231
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: that he needs to make when it's fourth and two

232
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: and he's saying, do I want to go for it here?

233
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: Do I want to just kick the field goal? And

234
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: that's when they will chime in. Presumably again I'm speculating

235
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: as to how this works, but knowing that the Eagles

236
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: and a bunch of other teams have done this the

237
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: last few years, and the Bills have done it the

238
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: last few years, to their credit, they give it to

239
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: him in a small, bite sized package and essentially just say,

240
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: if you go for it here on fourth and two,

241
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: your win probability, your chances of making it are x percent,

242
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: and if you do convert with that percentage, your win

243
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: probability also increases by fifteen percent. You know, whatever it is.

244
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: And then he makes the decision. And coach was asked

245
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: about it last night and he was asked, you know

246
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: how you come to those decisions, and coach gave credit

247
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: where credit is due. We try to be responsible with it, Matt,

248
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: We don't. I think we just do it to do it.

249
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's calculated sometimes during the week and then

250
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 1: obviously during the game. I think Dennis Locke and Mark Lubick,

251
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: my two assistants upstairs, to a phenomenal job of working

252
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: together and analyzing the game as we're going and evaluating

253
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: the necessary areas. So it makes my job easier. It

254
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: does make his job easier. That's a lot of number figuring.

255
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he'd have to be down on the field

256
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: with a slide ruling an advocus to calculate all that

257
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: stuff during a game, all the decisions he's got to

258
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: make he needs. But it's doing that for him in

259
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: real time, and it's helping. Right now, the Bills are

260
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: number one in the league in fourth down conversion rate.

261
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: Now they've only done it a handful of times this season,

262
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: but they are five of six on the year on

263
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: fourth down for an eighty three point three percent conversion rate.

264
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: The Bills are number one in the league and third

265
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: down conversion number one in the league and fourth down

266
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: conversion this season on offense. Yeah, and they you know,

267
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: I assume I don't know this. They probably have algorithms

268
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: loaded in. Oh yeah, and they start punching in variables

269
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: and it comes out with the numbers that they want

270
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: and then they probably I don't I'm sure they I'm

271
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: not sure they don't say, hey, your wind probability is

272
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: this much? What they're saying is there get They probably

273
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: have a code they says, listen, coach, numbers say yes,

274
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: and this number says yes, this number says no. Or

275
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: they probably have a succinct way of saying. They're on

276
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: a play clock here and they gotta make's gotta get

277
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: personnel on and off all of that. There's a lot

278
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: going on. That's why they have to say it in

279
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: like four words. This is whether it's like, hey, coach,

280
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: this is a green, we gotta go for this. This

281
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: is a yellow, or this is a red, you know,

282
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: or whatever whatever grade do you want to use, whatever

283
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: code they use, it's got to be about that fast. Coach,

284
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: this is a code green, and he'll say, okay, stay

285
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: on the field, let's go. That's how fast you got

286
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: to make that call. And those guys upstairs have got

287
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: to be ahead of it. So like if they come

288
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: up with a fourth and a third and five. They

289
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: gotta think, okay, what if it's a fourth and one.

290
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: Now they probably have fourth and one, fourth and two

291
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: right and three all loaded right, and then they just

292
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: hit hit the button. The algorithm gets calculated and they

293
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: spit it out to coach, that's what it sounds like. Yeah,

294
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: and they've got to do it fast, and they did.

295
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: They're doing it well and to his credit thus far,

296
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: to his credit to see he just does what they say.

297
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: You still got it well, he said, we don't do

298
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: it just to do it, and it is calculated. So

299
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: I don't think coach goes completely by the numbers. I

300
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: think there is I think he still subscribes to his

301
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: gut at times. But with the way the Bill's offense

302
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: was performing in that game on Monday night, I think

303
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: you had, as a head coach to feel pretty good

304
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: about your chances of succeeding. I mean, Steve, it was

305
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: pitch and catch to a large degree. In the passing game,

306
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: the Niners inexplicably did not change their four man pass

307
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: rush until the latter stages of the third quarter. I mean,

308
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: you can count on one hand the number of times

309
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: they sent extra people at Josh because I and I

310
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: tweeted this this morning because ESPN had this stat. Josh

311
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: Allen was twenty three of twenty five for two hundred

312
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: and eighty four yards and two touchdowns against zone coverage

313
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: last night. Okay, we know what this receiving corps does

314
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: against man coverage, right, so he beats zone, he beats man.

315
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: All you're left with is, well, let's get pressure on

316
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback and when you do that, he rolls out

317
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: and extends the play. Have fun with that unicorn, NFL.

318
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: What do you do when you're hitting it like he's

319
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: hitting it when you're in his zone like that. The

320
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: only thing you can do is change it up and

321
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 1: hope one time he misses on you know where he

322
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: doesn't get it. You know what I mean. I'd like

323
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: that you got these guys celebrate. You know, Feliciano's picking

324
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: he picks him up like he's a baby and putting

325
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: him to sleep for a nap. After these guys are

326
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: coming up with, you know, unbelievable touchdowns celebrations because you

327
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: know they got time. I mean, they got a lot

328
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: of opportunity to do it. I mean, just through for

329
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,719
Speaker 1: four touchdowns last night, didn't get picked off, and I

330
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: don't know that the one time he hit the ground

331
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: he got a penalty for roughing the passenger because he embellished.

332
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: They were in his zone last night. So Robert Sala

333
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: and the forty nine ers defense, they did what they

334
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: could do. They were under manned. We talked about it.

335
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: They were down to the fourth and fifth and sixth

336
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: slot corner. They were under and had their pass rushwood

337
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: had evaporated because they got too many guys hurt. But man,

338
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: oh man, that's what it's gonna take to beat a

339
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: Bill's offense. Playing like that, You're gonna have to physically

340
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: be able to beat guys one on one and even

341
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: maybe two on one if you're a pass rusher to

342
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: beat this team, I don't know how you if you're

343
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator in this league and you don't have

344
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 1: all your horses, which oh, by the way, the Steelers

345
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: no longer have Bud Dupree, right, the Steelers no longer

346
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: have Devin Bush, and the Steelers may not have Devin

347
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: Bush's backup Robert Spillane this week, who went out with

348
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: an injury yesterday. It's a knee injury. It's not considered

349
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: season ending. This is according to ESPNS, or is an

350
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: NFL networks Jeremy Fowler, Jeremy Fowler, it's ESPN, right, Sorry,

351
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: I get him mixed up, and I apologize for that.

352
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: But Jeremy Fowler was reporting this morning that Spillane, the

353
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: fill in for Devin Bush in the Steelers defense, suffered

354
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: a knee injury and yesterday's game and while it's not

355
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: season ending, he is going to miss some time, so

356
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: presumably he's not going to be ready to play in

357
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: six days. So the Steelers defense is a good group,

358
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,719
Speaker 1: but Joe Hayden went out with a concussion. He's presumably

359
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: in the protocol, so whether he gets out in time

360
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: for this week's game in six days time remains to

361
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: be seen. So they've got some people nicked up right

362
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: now on the wrong side of the ball for them.

363
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: So if you're a defensive coordinator and you're going against

364
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: this Bills team and you don't have all your horses,

365
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: Mike good Which just had a horse thing. It wasn't

366
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: even trying, and then I thought, oh, that does kind

367
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: of sound like a horse. But man, you you're spending

368
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: you're spending extra hours, man, trying to figure out what

369
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: the heck are you getting to do? Because if you

370
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: can't come up with some kind of way to cross

371
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 1: Josh Allen up, I don't know. I don't know what

372
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna do, Like, what do you do? It's uh Now,

373
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not gonna go, not saying he's unstoppable,

374
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: but man, he looked like it last night. I'm gonna go.

375
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not gonna say. You know, Mike Tomlin

376
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: and the Pittsburgh Steeters organization aren't cowering in the fetal position.

377
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: They're looking forward to this challenge. Believe me, they are,

378
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: particularly coming off a loss, particularly after the game they

379
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: played against Washington yesterday. They're gonna come in fired up.

380
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: And another thing as well. And I and I was

381
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: on a radio station this morning, you know, talking about

382
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: the Bills and the weather forecast looks bad for Sunday

383
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: and we're six days out. But if it's crazy, if

384
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: it's windy, rainy, snowy, it's gonna be hard to throw

385
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: the football all over the yard in those conditions. Yeah,

386
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,200

Speaker 1: ball buses pulling out. Be pumped and confident. Bring on

394
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: the Steelers. CE encouraged, but still some AFC hurdles to clear.

395
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: Where do you sit on that spectrum? Let us know

396
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,160

Speaker 1: you right now and we are going to be taking

399
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: phone calls here probably right up till the top of

400
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: the hour when Kyle Brandt from Good Morning Football joins

401
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: us in about oh just under forty minutes or so,

402
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: and and Good Morning Football crew was talking up the

403
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 1: Bills after the Monday night win as well. They are

404
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: certainly high on what Buffalo has done these last few weeks.

405
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: And where are you are you? You're not giddy? Are you?

406
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: Are you getting not giddy? I feel like about where

407
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: I had talked myself into yesterday, even though I had

408
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: a bad feeling about that game yesterday before it began

409
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 1: as the yesterday rolled on, I was thinking about that

410
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: all last week and all this week's we rolled up

411
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: to this game last night, all day yesterday, I started

412
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: getting a little more confident in how I felt about

413
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: the Bills, because I'm starting to feel like this inherent

414
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: trust that Sean mcdermot's gonna have him ready to play.

415
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: And if they are ready to play, which they usually are,

416
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: they're hard to beat. They're they're really good. They hit

417
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: on all cylinders last night, and even when they don't,

418
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: they've got playmakers that can overcome, and they've enlarge the

419
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: Bill's margin of air. So as yesterday rolled on, I

420
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: started to feel better and better about the game, which

421
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: is kind of typical for me and maybe some other fans,

422
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: you know. But even so, that's where I'm at. I

423
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: have a lot of confidence in this team that's gonna

424
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: play well every week. And that's basically that's what it takes.

425
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: That some of these teams are going to hand it

426
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: to you. Some of the teams are gonna give you

427
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: a great performance, and maybe it takes you a better

428
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: effort or an improving effort throughout the game to beat

429
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: them or whatever. A player or something, but this team's

430
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: never gonna get left in the dirt. We see it

431
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 1: once in a while, but man's that's an aberration when

432
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: that happens. They they were relatively as mistake free as

433
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: we have seen them this You had the Moss fumble

434
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: that was probably the biggest mistake in the game, but

435
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: they kept penalties to a minimum. They only had four,

436
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: and the pass interference on Wallace was a joke, so

437
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: that's one of the four right there. I was I

438
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: went crazy. Oh my gosh. I had to get up

439
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: and leave the room for a second so I didn't

440
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: say the wrong thing. And I'm in my own house,

441
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: and you just think about the execution. I mean, I'm

442
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: I'm watching Josh Allen rolling away from pass pressure. A

443
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: pass rusher is pursuing him. Dawson Knox goes to run

444
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: to block the pass rusher has the presence of mind

445
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: to realize I'm running towards my own end zone. I'm

446
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: gonna get flagged if I get in this guy's way,

447
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna breeze by him and put my

448
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: hands up to show I'm not making contact or blocking

449
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: him in any way. Those are little coachable things that

450
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: this team is doing now that they weren't doing Steve

451
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: just three weeks ago. Right, those little tiny little things

452
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: that can compromise a team's effectiveness and efficiency. And to

453
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: see those little data points, you know, penetrating the player's

454
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: brains where they're executing it in the snap of a

455
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: finger and doing the right thing. Those are the details

456
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: that mean the difference, especially in the playoffs where the

457
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: margins are razor thin. Yeah, you're right, and this after

458
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: this game last night, every team in the league has

459
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: played twelve games. The number one passing quarterback in the

460
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: league is Pat Mahomes. He got thirty eight hundred and

461
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: fifteen yards. Number two is Deshaun Watson with thirty five

462
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: hundred and forty two. Then Russell Wilson's number three at

463
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: thirty four seventy nine, then Matt Ryan of the Atlanta

464
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,959
Speaker 1: Falcons at thirty four, thirty six, thirty six, and then

465
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: number five is Josh Allen thirty four hundred and three yards.

466
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: He is five in the fifth in the National Football

467
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: League and passing and last night gave after twenty nine

468
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: he's got thirty three total touchdowns after last night, correct,

469
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: he had twenty nine going in and he got four, yeah,

470
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: thirty three total touchdowns and and I'll go, uh, I

471
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: know you love making the NFC West look bad as

472
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: far as the Bills are concerned. But there are three

473
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: in one record this year. So I'll give you another

474
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: one number of total touchdowns by Josh Allen against the

475
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: NFC West. How does sixteen grab you in four games

476
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: including so I'll break it down for you. Thirteen passing touchdowns,

477
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: two rushing touchdowns and a receiving touchdown against the NFC

478
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: West in four games this season. It's pretty good. I

479
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: like it. You gotta like that. You just gotta like that.

480
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: I like it. Um, So how about that? That's just

481
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: the hardest. And here's my favorite stat because there, I mean,

482
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: I have We've got a numbers to no column up

483
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: at buff bills dot Com. Just went up at the

484
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: top of the hour, and I gotta put it together

485
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: the day after every game, and there were a lot

486
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: to chew on the number. I like the best since

487
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen when Josh Allen has a passer rating of

488
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: one hundred or higher. The Bills are now thirteen and one.

489
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. I mean, it's like Cole Beasley said,

490
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 1: last night after the game, we go as he goes, Yeah,

491
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: that's h And I'll tell you this. We always talk

492
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: about how good your team is when they're playing playing

493
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: well and who they've played. I know we've we've talked

494
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: about Pittsburgh maybe having a little bit of an easier schedule.

495
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: The hardest the teams, and this is from Aaron Schatz.

496
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: He has said the hardest schedules so far this year,

497
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: the top five with the hardest schedule. Denver has had

498
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: the hardest schedule, then Chicago, then Tampa Bay, then San Francisco,

499
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: and then Carolina. Those are the five from one to

500
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: five the hardest schedules, the easiest schedules so far this year.

501
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: The number one easiest schedule so far in the National

502
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: Football League has been the Miami Dolphins. Number two is

503
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. Both those teams remain on the Bill schedule,

504
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: and number three is the Kansas City Chiefs, and then

505
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: four was Indianapolis and the fifth easiest schedule this season

506
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: was Washington Redskins. The Bills have not had the easiest

507
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: schedule who and but they have not had the hardest

508
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: one either. They're outside the top five anyway. They are

509
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: playing well against whoever lines up against them, and they've

510
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: they've played some good teams that they're three and one

511
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: and a Hail Mary away from being four and oh

512
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: in that NFC West, which begin at the beginning of

513
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: the season and even still now is probably the most

514
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: competitive division in football. Where were the Browns on that list?

515
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: Because they had a relatively easy schedule too, didn't They're

516
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: not They're not in the top five, not top five

517
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: for easiest. I haven't gone. Yeah, I think they're close

518
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: because they've had a relatively soft schedule as well. We

519
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: do have phone calls to get to so we will

520
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: take a break here, But John and Las Vegas, Tony

521
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: and Rochester, Pat and Rochester, Mark and Buffalo hang tight.

522
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: We will get to you guys first when we return

523
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,479
Speaker 1: here on one Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health on

524
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: a Bill's Victory Tuesday. Stay with us. We'll be back

525
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: in a moment. Time for the reads Jen's Milestones Reads.

526
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: Jen's the official jeweler of the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen

527
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: went thirty two of forty against the forty nine Ers.

528
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: He is the first quarterback in Bill's history to attempt

529
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: forty or more passes in a game and complete at

530
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: least eighty percent of them. The only other player with

531
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: an equal performance was Matt Ryan, who was thirty six

532
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: of forty five in a twenty thirteen Monday Night football

533
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: loss to the Jets. That is, uh, that's getting your

534
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: work done. Uh wow. That it's just it's after a

535
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: season where Josh Allen has surprised us with his development

536
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: from from week one and then week two, week three, weeks,

537
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: the four and oh start where he hung his first

538
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: four hundred yard game on us. Uh, even a months

539
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: to season like that last night, I mean it was

540
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: start to finish, you know, that third quarter thing we

541
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: always to talk about it was it was unbelievable. Um

542
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: and and like we've had some people allude to this

543
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: as well. There's a little bit Aaron Rodgers ask the

544
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: way he conducted himself out there. There was one play

545
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: where I set it on the on to Murph and

546
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: on the broadcast, I go, ah, you could see it

547
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: right there. The monster almost got out of the cage

548
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: right where he was going around and he actually ended

549
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: up throwing the ball away down the field, but it

550
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: looked like he was just you know, he was a

551
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: out ready to let the lid pop off and try

552
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: and lateral it, or try and spin or take somebody

553
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: on and turn the corner and make, you know, make

554
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: this unbelievable play. But he put the lid, you know,

555
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: the Hulk put the lid back on the Green Monster,

556
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: and he just threw it away. And Coach McDermott addressed

557
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: that specifically. I asked him about Josh's total command of

558
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: the game from start to finish, because he didn't have

559
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: and we'll hear from Kyle Brandt in a little bit

560
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: under a half an hour, there weren't any of those

561
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: sugar rush Josh Allen plays. And Coach's description of Josh

562
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: was he thought he played his most patient game of

563
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: the season. He was composed. He never got outside of

564
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: this level of composure and calm that a quarterback needs

565
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: to perform at his highest level, and that is that's

566
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: the final frontier for Josh to be able to play

567
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: at that composed, used level with the physical talent that

568
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: he offers. He's already combined the physical talent with his

569
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: decision making to a large degree. But when things get

570
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: a little hairy, can you still stay composed and in

571
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: a state and a frame of mind where you're making

572
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: all the right decisions. Last night may have been the

573
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: first time where he did that from start to finish

574
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: in a football game. He didn't make any Harry high

575
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: school plays, if you know what I mean, It's exactly right.

576
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: And when he plays like that, he looks like a

577
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: completely different guy. I mean, he looks unbeat up and

578
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: completely different guy that he looked like two years ago.

579
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you think about where he played a couple

580
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: of years ago, and the way and even early last

581
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: years as he's developed through this process, he looked like

582
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: he was you know, he looked like a thirty eight

583
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: year old quarterback. You know, one of those guys were okay,

584
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: I see this. Okay, okay, if you're newing this, Okay,

585
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go over here. Okay, what's going on? You

586
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: know what I mean? It just looked like she even

587
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: gave him credit for changing protections right yesterday, the game

588
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: looked like it was going in slow motion for him

589
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: and he was standing back there just watching. Yeah, it was.

590
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: It was that that was a huge wake up call

591
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: for a lot of people because and I know they're

592
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: still out there, the people you know, it looked like

593
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: its mafia loves defending Josh Allen to all his critics. Man,

594
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: though it is it is crickets out there. He looked.

595
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: He looked like an eighth grader doing single digit edition yesterday.

596
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how easy it looked for him. Yeah,

597
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: it was. It was unbelievable. And it was his demeanor

598
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: and the like you said, the patients, and it looked

599
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: in his body language, the way he looked in the pod,

600
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: just so unbelievably comfortable and calm, like there was nothing

601
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: going on that he wasn't ready for. He said it himself,

602
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: he said he was in his zone last night, and

603
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: it's obvious he was. And you could tell too. Cole Beasley,

604
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs, Gabriel Davis, that received and Dawson Knox as well,

605
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: all those guys they just seem to know and have

606
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: such trust in each other. It just looked entirely too

607
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: easy last night. And you know, this kind of play,

608
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to put a

609
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, wet blanket on it. And this is you know, okay,

610
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 1: this is great. Let's let's stack a couple of games

611
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: like this on top of each other is this is,

612
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: no question, the best game they've played all year. I

613
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: don't know that you can match that week after week

629
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: in watching you when as a little boy every year,

630
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 1: every year, Man, it was amazing watching you that had

631
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: your jersey, uh small wrapped up. But I'll tell you

632
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: that see if you were you were your class act. Man.

633
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: You really are class act and I wish you nothing

634
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: but the best to get in there because you deserve it.

635
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: That is that is awesome to hear. Thank you. Yeah.

636
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: If it doesn't happen, I'm going up to the whole

637
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: of fame myself a complaint. That's all right, just pay

638
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: your admission going as a cool place a guy. Three

639
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: really quick things. Josh Allen's pocket awareness has just been

640
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: that I've seen in the last three years. That one

641
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: came out of the pocket, scrambled down to the far

642
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: side of the field and made that role on the

643
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: sideline was one I'm I'm gonna flat out today. It

644
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: was the greatest throw he's made since since I've seen him.

645
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: It is. It was unbelievable to see him make that

646
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: pocket awareness with the backside coming out down on him

647
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: to actually make the tackle. It was. It was unbelievable.

648
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: His ability to me to remain focused, to look off

649
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: the segnis, remain calm was This was his best game

650
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: by far. The offensive line finally found their five. I

651
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: think with uh with uh, I think it's Bootier the bucker.

652
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: That's yeah, and uh. Gabriel Davis has really, really, really

653
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 1: stepped up in the absence of John Brown, And I mean,

654
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: what what confidence this kid has must have as a

655
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: rookie to be able to come in and make those

656
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: types of plays. Um, I, guys, I really do look

657
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: forward to having John Brown back. But I mean, it's

658
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 1: what an unbelievable, unbelievable performance via rookie. You know, it's

659
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: been great to see and it's I'm telling you and

660
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: you you guys, you guys said, you know what what

661
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: do I look forward to? I think this is the

662
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 1: best we've been since that, since Steve Tasker's days, So

663
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it. As a thirty five year

664
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 1: old guy, I'm looking forward to this more than any

665
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: You know that seventeen years was the worst of my life,

666
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: but this I can see as Steve going in that direction,

667
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: like you guys were. You guys, have a great day,

668
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: Mary Christmas. Thanks John Chasohn. Yeah, there's a lot in

669
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: that call, and it's easy to gush like John did

670
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think it's interesting too, even though

671
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: all the guys were healthy from where they were a

672
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: week ago, they did shuffle the offensive line, yes, Ike,

673
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: Butcker starts at left guard, Feliciano flips over to right guard,

674
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: which is the position that he manned weekend and week

675
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: out last season when he didn't have to fill in

676
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 1: at any point in time for Mitch Morris, which happened

677
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: on occasion last year. But yeah, right guard was his

678
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: spot last year, so they flipped him over to that side.

679
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: Coach was asked specifically after the game about Butcker and

680
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: why the decision was made to put him in the

681
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: starting lineup at left guard, and coach essentially said, look,

682
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: he's a guy that comes to work every day, He's

683
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 1: consistent with his approach. I like the program he comes from.

684
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: You know, he's a product of Iowa. Kirk Ference is

685
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,959
Speaker 1: one of the best offensive line teachers in the college game.

686
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: And you think about, you know, the separation between the

687
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 1: college game and the pro game, and all of these

688
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: college programs that have their offensive linemen in two point

689
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: stances in perpetuity almost every play of the game. There

690
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: are guys that have never put their hand on the ground.

691
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: When they get to the NFL, that is not the

692
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: case in Iowa. They still run a pro style offense

693
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: up there. They get the kind of teaching that translates

694
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: very well to the pro game, and it puts those

695
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: guys on a path to early success. Butcker's a guy

696
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: that actually spent some time with Mitch Morris in Kansas City.

697
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: The Bills had him here as a rookie. The Chiefs

698
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: plucked him off their practice squad put them on their

699
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: active roster because they were short on players after a

700
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: rash of injuries. Mitch Morris actually worked with Ike Butcker

701
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, and then Kansas City got their guys healthy,

702
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: they released Ike Butcker, put him on waivers. Bills pulled

703
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: him back, got him back, and now he's in the

704
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: starting lineup and he's been here. He was out here

705
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: all the last year as well, so he's he's been

706
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: around for he's got the program under his belt, and

707
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: I think it it says something as well, you know,

708
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: they just continue to get it done up there. Yeah,

709
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: and they've been shuffled around a lot. And Winners went

710
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: to the bench yesterday, came back in when Feliciana went out,

711
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: Winners comes back in, starts playing Guarden and I was

712
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: watched him on a couple of plays. He actually looked

713
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: good against this Niners front. The Niners. I was really surprised.

714
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: They did it once or tw not very much. They

715
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 1: rushed four guys all night. I think I can only

716
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: imagine that Robert Silla's approached there or belief was blitzing

717
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: him is useless. His passer rating is through the roof

718
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: against the blitz. He just rolls away from the pressure

719
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: when we do blitz him. So I'm not going to

720
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: commit extra guys to the to the front. I'm going

721
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: to commit extra guys in the back and hope that

722
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: we can cover up with seven guys. They couldn't do it,

723
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 1: They would not do it. So Salah was very quickly

724
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: out of answers. He tried a few blitzes in the

725
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:10,240
Speaker 1: second half. They didn't work. He got sacked one time.

726
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: Josh did there. They had no answers. They were too

727
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: thin on the back end and he thought they needed

728
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: to commit numbers to the back end because of that,

729
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: and they got torched. I mean they got torched outright torched.

730
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones. Let's get to Tony

731
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: and Rochester here. Tony, welcome to the show. What do

732
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: you have for us? Hey? You guys, what's happening man?

733
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: How you guys doing today? We're doing good. Well, I'm

734
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: I'm in my tenth day of quarantine. Uh. I'm sorry

735
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: to hear that, but no, no, I'm doing all right, man,

736
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, because it could have been worse. Trust me,

737
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: it could have been worse. All right, all right, good

738
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: luck the rest of the way with that. You know,

739
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: I really get to see you guys because I'm always

740
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: working and I listened to you on the radio. But

741
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: I must say, you guys, you guys look good to

742
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: be on the radio. I've got a perfect place. You've

743
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: been told that we have perfect faces for radio, So

744
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: thank you, Tony. But listening, I mean, I just I don't.

745
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have to see anymore, you know

746
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: what I mean. Um. I was a little worried about

747
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: what our defense would do last night. Um, but it

748
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: seems like the defense has has come back together, man,

749
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: and I don't need to see anymore. I'm not saying

750
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: super Bowl or anything. I know, we got to take

751
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: it a game at a time. But I feel so

752
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: good about this team right now, and there's no feeling

753
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: like proving everybody wrong, because, as you guys know, we

754
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: get so much disrespect locally and nationally. So the the

755
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: Monday Night, the Monday Night run up, they had a

756
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: spot where they brought and I don't know if you

757
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: guys know the movie Friday and the character Deebo, but

758
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: last night the Monday Night Football cast brought in the

759
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 1: character Deebo and they talked about how Deebo Samuels was

760
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: going to be the big bully in was going to

761
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: do all this to the Bills. And I don't know

762
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: if you guys know, but at the end of the movie,

763
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: Debo got knocked the hell out. That's what our defense

764
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: did last night. Man, I'm just so proud of the guys,

765
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: and you guys do a great show. And I just

766
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: wanted to say that, thanksful listening, all right, good luck

767
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the way with that in Quarantine, Tony,

768
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: feel free to listen to us and your downtime as

769
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: you're stuck at home, because we're here for you every

770
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 1: day Monday to Friday, twelve to three. But Steve Debo

771
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 1: finishes with six receptions for seventy three yards. I would

772
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: say the vast majority of those yards were in garbage time,

773
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: when the Bills were trading yards for time on the clock,

774
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: when the game was firmly in hand. I know, we

775
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: got to about out midway through the third quarter, and

776
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: Steve Levy, the play by play guy on TV for

777
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: ESPN for Monday Night Football, said, you may find this

778
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: hard to believe, but that's only the second time that

779
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel has been targeted in this game. He was

780
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: so well covered up by Tredavious White and the rest

781
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: of the crew on the back end that Nick Mullins

782
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: didn't even have an opportunity to look and throw in

783
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: his direction. That's how tight it was on the back

784
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 1: end last night. Yeah, it was, and that's I think

785
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: that's a testament to the way the defense is constructed,

786
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: in the quality of the secondary they've got, and plus

787
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: the bills at this point coming into this game, they

788
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: were healthy. I mean, they had guys on two good

789
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: legs all over the place in the back end, and

790
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 1: that's got to feel really good. I remember times in

791
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: my career where you just you drag your aches and

792
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,919
Speaker 1: pains for week after week and it's just it gets

793
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: so exhausting, and you get a bye week or whatever.

794
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: You get to the point where you get on top

795
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: of it. You go through a game or two games

796
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: and you don't get a recurrence or the same injury

797
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: or this bump the same bump, and you show up

798
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: in that game pregame and for the first time in

799
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: it seems like forever you feel great. And I think

800
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 1: you've got a little bit of that collectively on the

801
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: Bill's roster during this week in the run up to

802
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: the Monday night football game where they felt like, man,

803
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 1: oh man, then you look around the field and you

804
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: know you feel good and you can tell all your

805
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: teammates feel good too. The health in this game going

806
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: into the last month of the season. To be as

807
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: healthy as the Bills are right now, it's gonna make

808
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen. It's gonna make a difference. It does

809
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: not happen, and man, it's a huge, huge plus for

810
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: the Bills going forward. Break time for us. But when

Speaker 1: Josh Allen on the season in the red zone Steve

822
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: thirty seven of fifty nine seventeen touchdowns no picks in

823
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: a passer rating of one oh eight point two. That's

824
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,959
Speaker 1: a completion percentage of sixty two point seven percent. Because

825
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 1: only a couple of quarterbacks that have really outperformed him

826
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: in the red zone this season in terms of touchdown

827
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: production anyway, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, Ryan Tannehill,

828
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, Baker Mayfield, Patrick Mahomes, Ben Roethlisberger. So, Josh,

829
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: about eighth on the list for touchdown passes in the

830
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: red zone? The percent I was picking up my phone

831
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 1: to try and figure out what that is. Seven thirty

832
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:06,919
Speaker 1: seven to fifty nine, sixty two point seven percent. Yeah,

833
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: well there you go. So there it is. Let's get

834
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: back to the phone calls because we got a short

835
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:17,280
Speaker 1: segment here and we're gonna lead off with Patrick in Rochester. Patrick,

836
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Welcome to the show.

837
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: I want to say happy victory Tuesday. Yes, indeed, let's

838
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: do that. I really liked what I saw from the defense.

839
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: I think it's a great time at the end of

840
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: the year to be healthy on that end of the ball.

841
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: And I saw a lot of rallying to the ball,

842
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: which is something I didn't see at the beginning of

843
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 1: the year. And I feel like it's regards to the offense. Um,

844
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 1: once smoke comes back, healthy, knock on wood everybody. Um.

845
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: But once that happens, I really feel like the offense is,

846
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 1: you know, getting glued together, and um, you know, I

847
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: I love seeing Josh Allen throw the ball away instead

848
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: of making hero ball plays. And last thing I'll add is, uh,

849
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: I really really enjoy the the segments you do with

850
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: Kyle and Greg. I think that those you guys have

851
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 1: such a great roopour between Steve Um and yourself Chris

852
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: and going with Kyle and Gragg and it just I

853
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: think you guys do such a great job five days

854
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 1: a week. So thank you so much. Appreciate that. That's nice.

855
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: We'll take that bouquet. Thank you. Check is in the

856
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: mail on that one. But yeah, and we'll have Kyle

857
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 1: Brandon about ten minutes time, and it's always entertaining with Kyle,

858
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: and then it's so cerebral and X and O oriented

859
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: with Greg every Friday, because I don't think there's anybody

860
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: in the in the country that watches more NFL game

861
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: tape outside of coaches, right than Greg cozell Um. Yeah,

862
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: he sees and for us, you know, we're so we're

863
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: kind of myopic here, we're all Bills all the time.

864
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:45,240
Speaker 1: He sees the whole league and he can extrapolate players

865
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: from other teams out how they compare. It not it's

866
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: just it's he's just an encyclopedia of information and he

867
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 1: knows what he's looking at, so we can get the

868
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: league landscape on teams very quickly from him because of

869
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: that breath of knowledge. Um and Patrick's right. The defense

870
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 1: deserves credit for two things. Number One, they're still putting

871
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 1: up takeaways. It's now twelve takeaways in their last six games,

872
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 1: so they're averaging about two every time out, and that's

873
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 1: two extra possessions for this Bill's offense, and more often

874
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: than not they will cash in with points. Second thing

875
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: is the way in which Buffalo's defense sealed the edges

876
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 1: and kept the san Francisco rushing attack in check. You know,

877
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: I do a column after every game called the top

878
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,720
Speaker 1: three things we learned, And we learned that this defense

879
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: can seal the edges when they absolutely have to against

880
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 1: a prominent and proficient rushing attack, and they did that

881
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 1: in spades last night against the Niners. Let's try to

882
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 1: get one more phone call in before the break. We'll

883
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 1: get to more later in the show, but Mark and

884
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: Buffalo has been waiting patiently. Mark, what do you have

885
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: for us? Welcome to the show. Hey guys, Hey, hey Steve.

886
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:52,919
Speaker 1: I wish I could say watched you as a kid,

887
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: but I couldn't do that. My first game was watching

888
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: O J run against San Franciso. Oh wow, I believe

889
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: you go the rock tie. So I've been a lifelong

890
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: Bill fan, and as described previously by somebody, a star

891
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 1: Bills fan. So I've been very guarded as to how

892
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: willing I was to say how good this team was.

893
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: But I think they won me over last night for

894
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: a couple of reasons. I think on the offensive side

895
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: of the ball, it was great to see dabl not

896
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: you not Deddy uses it, but we didn't have any

897
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: excuse that John why Brown was out or John Brown

898
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: was out, you know, such a big part of our offense.

899
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: He dialed up plays and Josh was willing to go

900
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: with the ball to both Mackenzie and Gabe Davis on

901
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 1: big plays. So that was great to see. I always

902
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:39,919
Speaker 1: I always thought Josh could play like he did last night,

903
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: and I was great to see it. But what really

904
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: impressed me most of all was I've always considered us

905
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: this year a finesse team, but to see both offense

906
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: and defensive lines get into trenches and slug it out

907
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: with a slobber knocker team like San Francisco was really

908
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 1: encouraging for the playoffs. And I mean, the defense has

909
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: been coming. Last night was the first game in a

910
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: while that I really felt confident they were going to

911
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 1: stop them almost all the time, especially when we needed to. Especially.

912
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean, and if they do that and Josh continues

913
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: to move that ball around like he is, there's no

914
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 1: reason not to talk about Super Bowl. So they won

915
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: me over last night. Very good, Mark, Thanks for the call.

916
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: We are up against the break and we have to

917
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 1: take a break because we got to get to Kyle

918
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: Brand from Good Morning Football when we return. But you

919
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 1: are right, Mark, the defense. They went toe to toe

920
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: with the line of scrimmage with that Niners offense and

921
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: played very well. I think at the very least, it

922
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 1: was a stalemate on most downs and San Francisco did

923
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: not reset the line of scrimmage two yards downfield. It

924
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: was a solid performance from a Buffalo defense that seems

925
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: to be getting better and better with each passing week.

926
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: And they'll have another physical matchup on Sunday night break

927
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,240
Speaker 1: time for us. But when we return Good Morning Football,

928
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: it's Kyle Brandt who is downright giddy about these Buffalo

929
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 1: Bills who back in August. He will be quick to

930
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,399
Speaker 1: tell you he picked to be twelve and four. We'll

931
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 1: revisit that prediction when we return here on One Bill's Live,

932
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health, it's Buffalo Bill's Radio at

933
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:29,320
Speaker 1: a Steve Tesker who has been all over the fields.

934
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

935
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:37,439
Speaker 1: player for you, state Steed a blimp. We're not even

936
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:46,879
Speaker 1: in the strated bere of normalcy. All right. We are

937
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: back for our number two of one Bills Live on

938
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: A Bill's Victory Tuesday, and it is that time in

939
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:56,800
Speaker 1: the show where we get the privilege of hosting someone

940
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: for a weekly visit. The man who called the Bills

941
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: a twelve and four team back in August has to

942
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,800
Speaker 1: be grinning from ear to ear at this point in time,

943
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 1: as the Bills sit at a lofty nine and three

944
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 1: after a very convincing and probably most complete win of

945
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 1: the season over the San Francisco forty nine ers last night.

946
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 1: It is one Kyle Brand from Good Morning Football joining

947
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 1: us of the twelve and four prediction. How does it

948
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 1: feel this morning, Kyle? Or this afternoon? Feels good? But

949
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,760
Speaker 1: we have to keep it a little quiet today around

950
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 1: my house, not because my children are upstairs homeschooling, but

951
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: because we are rocking the AFC East to sleep like

952
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: they're a little baby. Colt Beasley East, Sweet Dreams, nine Nights.

953
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,760
Speaker 1: We give you your blankie and your white noise machine

954
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: and see you later, because the Bills are taking this

955
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: thing and maybe I sold them short at twelve and four, Brownie,

956
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 1: What do you think? So you're thinking, you're obviously thinking

957
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 1: three and one the rest of the way at the

958
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 1: very least, maybe even better than that. Do you think

959
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 1: they can run the table here? Listen? I wish they

960
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: could play Pittsburgh tomorrow. I wish they could play them tonight.

961
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: That can we get that game now, because there's blood

962
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 1: in the water. That game has been looming for months.

963
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 1: That's the game when in the spring, when the calendar

964
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: comes out and the schedule can be says, oh my gosh,

965
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh in December, that's gonna be a game. And it is.

966
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: They're playing an eleven and one team. But they're playing

967
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 1: an eleven and one team that just got knocked out,

968
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: that can't catch a pass, that lost its second string

969
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 1: middle linebacker, and I'll be down to its third like

970
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 1: they're weak right now, they're bleeding, and I can't think

971
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: of a better time to beat Pittsbag. I already think

972
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:38,359
Speaker 1: Buffalo is gonna win them. Well, I'm burying the lead

973
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 1: right now, Brinie Normal, will you say this at the

974
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 1: end of the segment. I already think Buffalo is gonna

975
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:46,479
Speaker 1: beat this game leg Yeah, And I'll say this, it's

976
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: hard to imagine that game last night going better than

977
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: it did. And Josh played great. Everybody played great around him.

978
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,360
Speaker 1: The defense showed up in the second half and closed

979
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:02,439
Speaker 1: the door with two interceptions. So I'm never the guy

980
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,879
Speaker 1: to pumps the brakes. But the Steelers are not sitting.

981
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the Steelers are not sitting. I said this earlier.

982
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 1: The Steelers are not sitting there. Mike Tomlin is not

983
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: in his closet in the fetal position along with those guys.

984
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,399
Speaker 1: They're not you know, Ben Roethlisberger's not pulling his hair

985
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,720
Speaker 1: out about this game. They're looking forward to this challenge,

986
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 1: getting back in the saddle. And although I do think

987
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 1: it's a positive for Buffalo that Pittsburgh dropped the game

988
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 1: to Washington coming in, I still think the Steelers, you know,

989
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: this is they're a good team, and they're a good

990
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: team year in year out. This is gonna be a

991
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: really good football game. I still think I agree. And

992
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,399
Speaker 1: you know what, there was something after the game. If

993
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 1: you saw Mike Tomlin, his team loses its first game.

994
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 1: They don't play well. In fact, they some of their

995
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: play was kind of embarrassing as it pertains of the

996
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: wide receivers, and if you were looking for him to

997
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,240
Speaker 1: kick chairs and punch through the drywall and he wasn't.

998
00:54:55,840 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: I actually think there was something approaching relief on Mike Tomlin,

999
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: that there was a weight office shoulders and We've seen

1000
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: these teams for years that get to twelve and oh,

1001
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 1: get to thirteen and oh. Every player, to a man says,

1002
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 1: the burden is real. The psychological toll is real. Getting

1003
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: asked about it every two seconds is real. The Steelers

1004
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 1: now are not dealing with that anymore. They're not going

1005
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: to go undefeated. Who cares, They're not gonna go sixteen

1006
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: and oh but my gosh, they did some really bad

1007
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 1: things last night, and not just last night, two weeks

1008
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 1: in a row. Yeah. You know this time of year

1009
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:30,359
Speaker 1: that you know, the quarterbacks with the big contracts, they

1010
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 1: get their receivers and their linemen and watches or a

1011
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,839
Speaker 1: TVs or whatever the hell they want to spend their

1012
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 1: money on. Ben Roethlisberger should go and buy his wide

1013
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:43,280
Speaker 1: receivers about six or seven jugs, machines, and some extension

1014
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 1: cords so they could plug them in and do them

1015
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 1: in their backyard. They had seven drops last night, which

1016
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:50,320
Speaker 1: is the most the Steelers I've had in fifteen years.

1017
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: It's the most that's been in the NFL this year.

1018
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 1: They had seven balls batted down at the line of scripts.

1019
00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 1: That's fourteen incompletions just on drops and bats. Weird game.

1020
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:04,280
Speaker 1: Pick him apart. But I'm telling you Buffalo is playing great.

1021
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is tired, annoyed, perturbed, and coming off a loss.

1022
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,759
Speaker 1: It is great timing for Buffalo. Yeah, and you're right

1023
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 1: that this isn't just this pass game against Washington. There

1024
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 1: had been a little bit of a slide in terms

1025
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 1: of consistency and performance on the part of Pittsburgh. Not

1026
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: to dwell on them too much, I just recall Mike

1027
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 1: Tomlin and his postgame comments after the Baltimore game, when

1028
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 1: asked why are we dropping passes? His answer was two words,

1029
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 1: us sucking. So but that's Mike Tomlin. But looking at

1030
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 1: the Bill's side of the ledger here, Kyle, you know,

1031
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 1: Josh Allen basically turned into Peter Parker of Spider Man fame.

1032
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: With great power comes great responsibility. Coach McDermott addressed it

1033
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 1: after the game last night. He thought it was Josh

1034
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 1: Allen's most patient game that he has played this season.

1035
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:59,320
Speaker 1: And I know you often refer to sugar rush Josh Allen.

1036
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 1: There were there was no fun dip and no tangy

1037
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: taffy consumed before this game last night. Not a single

1038
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: piece of nerds laffy taffy sour patch kids were to

1039
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 1: be found. I thought last night was a really, really

1040
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: incredible game by Buffalo, and I'll tell you why. Something

1041
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: the three of us talked about last week. That game

1042
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 1: was about the Niners. The story was about the Niners.

1043
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 1: They're renting a stadium, they can't go home. It's actually

1044
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 1: a really sad, upsetting, messed up football story, and they're

1045
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: not allowed to play in their stadium or be with

1046
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: their families. They're in a hotel. So the broadcast is

1047
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: all over it. They're the emotional favorite. Everyone who's not

1048
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 1: a Buffalo fan watching is rooting for the Niners. And

1049
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 1: the Niners go up seven nothing, so it's like, here

1050
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: we go. What a night. And they reached down deep

1051
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: and they and too bad Buffalo. No, Buffalo said, screw

1052
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 1: that respect, nice story, We wish you the best, We're

1053
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 1: gonna stomp on you with our boot heel, and is

1054
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: exactly what I wanted to see. If No, when we

1055
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 1: talked last week, I said, no, mercy, you let them

1056
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: have their moment, you wish them well, but this is

1057
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: a football game. Kick the hell out of them, and

1058
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: they absolutely did. I made the mistake. I spoke really

1059
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 1: eagerly this morning on the show where I said, I think,

1060
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 1: I think, I think that was Josh Allen's best game

1061
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 1: as a pro. And I said it and I believed it.

1062
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: Now you get bills fans will come out of the

1063
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: woodwork and they say, well, hold on earlier this season

1064
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, you know, you get through four hundred

1065
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: yards and no interceptions, and that's fine. Well, I'm not

1066
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: gonna split hairs about statistics. That game against the Dolphins

1067
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 1: was great, So one pm kickoff, no big deal is primetime.

1068
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 1: Returning to the scene of the hail Mary against the

1069
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: supposedly genius head coach on the other side, and Josh

1070
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:41,919
Speaker 1: Allen looked like six foot five Aaron Rodgers. I really

1071
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 1: mean that. The demeanor was icy cold, no ups and downs,

1072
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 1: body language, incredible. All the stuff we've talked about for

1073
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 1: the better part of three years about how he's Johnny

1074
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 1: Knoxville or he's the roller coaster. No, he was an

1075
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 1: assassin yesterday. I mean, really, really calm. I've never seen

1076
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 1: him that poised. It's always about that with him. Poised,

1077
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: he looked like a top three guy in the league.

1078
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: It was awesome to watch and this game. As you

1079
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 1: talked about what this game was about going in, a

1080
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: lot of people had their eyes on the forty nine ers,

1081
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 1: how they were going to handle the upheaval and the

1082
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: and the problems in the relocation. It was also about

1083
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: Brian Dabole against Robert Sala. Those are two guys who've

1084
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: got a lot of credibility as good coaches in the NFL.

1085
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 1: Robert Sala had absolutely no answers for Josh Allen last night,

1086
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 1: and I felt bad for him because he is a

1087
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:33,439
Speaker 1: good coach and I got a lot of respect for him.

1088
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 1: But they showed him last night behind the mask and

1089
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: the look on his face I have not seen from

1090
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: him ever. He had there was just no place else

1091
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 1: for him to go defensively, and he looked like he

1092
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 1: wanted to go crawl under the hack. He had no answers,

1093
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: and I get it, I mean, and that was a

1094
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 1: surprise for him. That game that Josh and this Bill's

1095
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: offense put together last night. We've seen flashes of that.

1096
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 1: We've seen a series here, a series there, maybe a

1097
00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: couple series during a game where they won big, but

1098
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: four quarters of that offense like that last night, that

1099
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 1: was a shock for everybody, and you could see it

1100
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 1: on Robert Sala's face. It was I think the only time,

1101
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: maybe Steve that we've seen that look on his face

1102
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 1: is when Mahomes the Tyreek Hill in the Super Bowl,

1103
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 1: running wasp all the way down the field, when the

1104
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: Niners had a ten point lead and all of a

1105
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 1: sudden it went away. But I looked at this way.

1106
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 1: It wasn't just that they were putting up points in

1107
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: the Niners. There's some teams who have done that this year,

1108
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 1: maybe not as much lately, but the touchdowns were like symphonies.

1109
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: They were just perfect, Like the Dawson Knox touchdown was

1110
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 1: so beautiful, and the blocking out front was so perfect,

1111
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 1: and then you had a couple of them were the

1112
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 1: guys were just standing there, whether it was McKenzie early,

1113
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: there's another one late where they were just wide open.

1114
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 1: It wasn't just that the Bills player made a better

1115
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 1: effort than the Niners defender. This felt like scheme to me,

1116
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: This felt like practice. This felt like execution. I mean

1117
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 1: some of these things were looking like fair catches. This

1118
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: was the walk off. Richard Sherman has been in this

1119
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 1: league seeing everything. He got on this badly as Davis

1120
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: is dancing and the knocks just plowed right and it

1121
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 1: was it was a clinic. I can't imagine being a

1122
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 1: born and raised Bills fan watching that game how good

1123
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 1: it must have felt, because you don't get a lot

1124
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: of those, especially Monday night. For them, it's what it's

1125
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: been in this millennium. They haven't done it, and that

1126
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 1: was just a good swift butt whooping. It looked great

1127
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 1: when we I'm gonna throw this out at you, Brian Greacy,

1128
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 1: Brian Greasy, we were privilege enough to have on the

1129
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: show yesterday leading into Monday Night Football, and I threw

1130
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 1: it out to him. I said, Hey, we've talked about

1131
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 1: this on the show. What do you think about what

1132
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 1: it would take to get Josh Allen in the league

1133
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: MVP discussion. I didn't say he's gonna be a favorite

1134
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 1: anything like that. I said, just to get him in

1135
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 1: the discussion. I said, he's got four primetime games left.

1136
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 1: If he shows out in primetime, maybe you know, the Bills,

1137
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 1: maybe run the table. Could he get into the conversation? Greasy,

1138
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 1: I'm not even joking. He actually left. He laughed before

1139
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 1: he answered. I was like, come on, bro, like I

1140
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 1: understand Brownie is so hot right now, I understand a

1141
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: derisive laugh. Oh yeah, it was a snicker like. It

1142
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 1: was like he was like, just not gonna happen like

1143
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 1: and and I understand it's all about Patrick Mahomes this year.

1144
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:19,439
Speaker 1: And I totally get it. He's been playing on another level.

1145
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna throw this at you. Okay, number of

1146
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: games this season for Josh Allen with three hundred and

1147
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: seventy five yards passing or more and three touchdown passes

1148
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 1: or more and a passer rating of over one thirty.

1149
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: He's got three of those games now this season. The

1150
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 1: only other guy that has that many in a season

1151
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 1: Drew Brees in twenty thirteen, the only other guy since

1152
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty, Kyle. He keeps stacking games like this, He's

1153
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 1: gonna muscle his way into the conversation. I think I

1154
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe I'm crazy. Okay. First of all, love

1155
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:53,360
Speaker 1: the passion, Chris, love it. I will not laugh at you.

1156
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:56,280
Speaker 1: I will not laugh with you. I will only I'll laugh.

1157
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna laugh at Steve. Getta laugh at I'm laughing

1158
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 1: at my guys. Now, wait, hold on a second, Steve,

1159
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 1: let me follow them Why do you laugh at that?

1160
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 1: Because Brownie makes I feel like a pretty good point,

1161
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 1: because I love watching Brownie's head explode. All love that

1162
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm sweating over here now to day for the Greasy family. Yes,

1163
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 1: of course Bob Greasy saw the Steelers lose. He gets

1164
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 1: to stay undefeated. Um, but I would say this, here's

1165
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: where I would handicap the MVP race. Um. Russell Wilson's out.

1166
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: He's done. He was leading it for about two and

1167
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 1: a half months. He's done now. He hasn't played spectaculars,

1168
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 1: lost the big games. I think he's done. Derrick Henry

1169
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 1: was gonna try to make a run at it. He's done.

1170
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 1: You gotta have it, you gotta go a perfect eighteen

1171
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: holes to win at running back. He's done. It's Mahomes,

1172
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 1: It's Rogers. But it's not a rap some of these,

1173
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 1: Some of the times, we get to this point of

1174
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: the year and it's over. We know it's gonna be Mahomes,

1175
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 1: and we know it's gonna be Lamar Brady, whoever. It

1176
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 1: is not over. There's a full month plus left to play.

1177
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 1: If Mahomes and a Rodgers has one of these games,

1178
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 1: or okay, they win, but it's two hundred and twenty

1179
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. I hate to make it all

1180
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 1: about Staff, but it's becoming that Josh Allen definitely still

1181
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 1: has a shot at this. I feel like it's it's

1182
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:07,720
Speaker 1: a three or four horse race and the final stretch

1183
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:10,000
Speaker 1: and they're out in front for sure, Mahomes and Rogers.

1184
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 1: We got the commercials together and everybody loves it. Alan

1185
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: can still win it, but he's got to run his

1186
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 1: eyeballs out. I agree. I think Alan's the dark horse,

1187
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 1: and right now with four explained that the Bill's got

1188
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 1: to run the table against who all commers. Josh has

1189
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 1: got to play well, maybe not even as the stage

1190
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 1: though with these primetime games they still have on the schedule.

1191
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 1: Right the Pittsburgh game is the game of the week.

1192
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 1: Everyone will be watching that game. If if he shows

1193
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 1: up and beats the Steelers and stands in against t. J.

1194
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:40,280
Speaker 1: Watts and make it Fitzpatrick and he kills it and

1195
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:42,840
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, throw Rose for three runs for one.

1196
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 1: He's totally in it and it is not over, that's right,

1197
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 1: and then he's back in the conversation. Then it will

1198
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 1: be about the last couple of games of the season.

1199
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 1: And your last three games of the season. You're right,

1200
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 1: but the team's got to run the table at this point,

1201
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 1: and I think it is gonna help. And I think

1202
01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 1: these last game games at the end of the season

1203
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:01,520
Speaker 1: do mean more then the game two and a half

1204
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 1: months ago. But I you know, I think that's you know,

1205
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 1: that's a conversation for us to have after the season

1206
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 1: about where it went wrong, where it went right, because

1207
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 1: right now I think the Bills have got to have

1208
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 1: short sight and do it just one bite at a time.

1209
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 1: Think about this game this week and break it down,

1210
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 1: because there's a chance that this game on Monday, on

1211
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: Sunday night football here in Buffalo is gonna be you know,

1212
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 1: twenty eight and rainy, big wind, chill. It's gonna be

1213
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 1: a bad night. It looks like it's gonna be a

1214
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 1: bad night. And yeah, it's gonna be a bad night.

1215
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 1: And I also think I think you're gonna have to

1216
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,920
Speaker 1: run the ball more. I do, especially with what the

1217
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's dealing with injuries. This is a big deal and

1218
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 1: they'll get into this all week. But you know, they

1219
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 1: lost their great young linebacker Devin Bush. Then this great guy,

1220
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 1: Robert Spillane out of the mac came in has been

1221
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 1: playing really well. He's out now, and obviously Bud Dupree

1222
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 1: is out of the season. But Spillane is the guy

1223
01:05:57,800 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: that is right in the middle, who's meeting Derrick Henry

1224
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 1: and Hole, who's filling all that stuff for them. That

1225
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 1: is a weakness. And when I say they're bleeding, I

1226
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 1: mean they're actually bleeding injuries, so you gotta run right

1227
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 1: at them. I wouldn't much rather take my chances with

1228
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 1: that than having Alan throw at forty times. Yeah, I

1229
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if Brian Davie's gonna change

1230
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 1: his spots. I mean, short of it, short of a

1231
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 1: deluge um, you know, always credit Steve to bring us

1232
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 1: back to the level headed this while I, you know,

1233
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 1: fly off the radar and pin the needle for the

1234
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 1: red um. But you know that's what they are. I

1235
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 1: mean a lot of people going into the game, fans anyway,

1236
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 1: calling on our show. We're saying, oh, you know, I

1237
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,240
Speaker 1: think we should run against this Niners team. You know,

1238
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 1: let's let's mash and probably we can smash mouth with

1239
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:42,120
Speaker 1: these guys. And Josh comes out against the beleaguer secondary

1240
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:44,320
Speaker 1: and just throws it all over the yard. They've done

1241
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 1: that almost every time they faced a high level team. Um,

1242
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Steelers are any different. And

1243
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 1: you know you mentioned injuries, Kyle. Joe Hayden goes out

1244
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 1: with a concussion last night. We don't know where he's

1245
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 1: going to be in the protocol comes Sunday night, So

1246
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 1: I say, dance with the girl it brought you and

1247
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 1: start throwing it all over the place and do it

1248
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 1: that way. But I wanted to get your thoughts on

1249
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of advanced analytics, Kyle. Okay, So the

1250
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:12,960
Speaker 1: Bills and a couple of those fourth down situations last night,

1251
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:15,919
Speaker 1: and for the most part, it worked out for them.

1252
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:18,920
Speaker 1: Here we are entering week fourteen, Bills number one in

1253
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 1: the league and fourth down efficiency converting at a rate

1254
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 1: of eighty three percent. Granted they've only got a handful

1255
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 1: of those opportunities, but coach McDermott after the game thanked

1256
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 1: the two guys he's got up in the booth that

1257
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 1: are doing real time win probabilities, expected points added, you know,

1258
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 1: calculations and all those algorithms. So he's not down on

1259
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: the sideline with an advocus and a slide rule, and

1260
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 1: he says, those guys make his job easier. I know

1261
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 1: there are other teams in the league that do this.

1262
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: I know Philly's usually out in front of that stuff.

1263
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:53,919
Speaker 1: But where do you come down on that and how

1264
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 1: much it can really help a head coach and a

1265
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:58,800
Speaker 1: team for that matter, in terms of the difference between

1266
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 1: winning and losing. From what you've seen, what do your

1267
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 1: eyeballs tell you? Well, I'm listening to my ears too.

1268
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 1: He just had a statement win a national audience and

1269
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 1: McDermott could have thanked anybody or could have hyped anybody,

1270
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 1: and he goes to the guys with the calculators. I mean,

1271
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 1: that's that says everything's me and this is a guy.

1272
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 1: Listen McDermott. When he was banging out three hundred dips

1273
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 1: and sixty seconds Backett William and married, he was like

1274
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 1: a meathead Jim rat. I don't know necessarily if he

1275
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:26,839
Speaker 1: was into the analytics school of thought in its primitive

1276
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 1: form right then, but coming out right now and stay

1277
01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:30,920
Speaker 1: a whole on a second. We got a couple of

1278
01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 1: guys here who have crunched the numbers. It's awesome. I mean,

1279
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:37,519
Speaker 1: it's completely progressive, and I respect him for it because

1280
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:40,240
Speaker 1: there's a certain generation. I don't know where it cut out,

1281
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 1: where the cutoff is, or if it's the same for

1282
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 1: the general population as is for coaches. They don't want

1283
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:47,640
Speaker 1: to embrace that stuff. Him embracing the analytics. It's like,

1284
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, my dad, Bob brand hell of

1285
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:54,760
Speaker 1: a guy. My dad refuses to get a kindle or

1286
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 1: an e reader or one of He just he wants

1287
01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 1: the damn book in his hand. He wants the paper

1288
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 1: he wants to pay. Dad, you have sixty thousand James

1289
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 1: Patterson paperbacks and every every Michael Creighton book in history,

1290
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 1: taking up boxes in your grudge. Let me for Christmas

1291
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:13,720
Speaker 1: get you the e reader. He doesn't want it. I

1292
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 1: buy it for him anyway, he doesn't use it. So

1293
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 1: I bring this up to say McDermot could easily say

1294
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:21,680
Speaker 1: I gotta have that book in my hand. No, he

1295
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 1: goes for the e reader and look at their look

1296
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 1: at the record because of it. That's that's why I

1297
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:28,559
Speaker 1: come out. And to be fair, he says, we don't

1298
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:32,479
Speaker 1: do it just to do it. You know, he listens

1299
01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:35,599
Speaker 1: to those guys. I don't know how often he agrees

1300
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,720
Speaker 1: with them and makes his decision based on that. But

1301
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:41,840
Speaker 1: at least he's willing to listen and put it into practice.

1302
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 1: I think there are times, I'm a boy you, Steve.

1303
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 1: I feel like there are still times where he relies

1304
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,439
Speaker 1: on his gut, but he doesn't dismiss the numbers, and

1305
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 1: he's used them to the team's advantage. You think about

1306
01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:53,760
Speaker 1: last night. They get into that game, and certainly they

1307
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:56,920
Speaker 1: got stuffed on their first fourth down attempt on fourth

1308
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 1: and less than a yard. They got stuffed on their

1309
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 1: first one. Didn't he didn't shy away from it, particularly

1310
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 1: after the offense started to roll like it did. Not

1311
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 1: only did he go for it, they were throwing it

1312
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 1: on fourth down. That is, that's that's on the far

1313
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 1: edge of progressiveness, because you know, you think, with a

1314
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 1: six five, two hundred fifty pound quarterback who's the best

1315
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:21,960
Speaker 1: short yardage back in football, they're gonna, you know, they're

1316
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:23,800
Speaker 1: gonna try and just beefcake it in, you know, and

1317
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 1: try and get it in and they end up throwing

1318
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 1: it on fourth down. I think that that philosophy and

1319
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 1: that willingness to do anything and everything on fourth down

1320
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 1: has really served them well. I didn't want to ask

1321
01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 1: you this as we raise our heads up as the

1322
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:37,559
Speaker 1: Bills are closing in on this and getting to the

1323
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 1: you know, to the nuts and bolts of this division title.

1324
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:43,679
Speaker 1: The Miami Dolphins are still trying to keep their keeping pace.

1325
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 1: And did you see what happened to them over the

1326
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 1: weekend when there was a fight broke out of the

1327
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:51,760
Speaker 1: They did beat the Bengals. I get it. And the

1328
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 1: Bengals were without Joe Burrow and that the Bengals are

1329
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, in the you know, number top five pick

1330
01:10:57,160 --> 01:10:59,360
Speaker 1: of the draft, but they beat him. What do you

1331
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:02,799
Speaker 1: think about the Dolphins keeping pace with Buffalo, their chances

1332
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 1: of finishing it off? The situation with Twoatonga Voloa and

1333
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick. What are the Bills looking at in their

1334
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:12,120
Speaker 1: other division rival? And I'm not even talking about the

1335
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:17,599
Speaker 1: Patriots yet. I think they're looking at a hell of

1336
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 1: a head coach who his guys would walk into traffic for.

1337
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:25,120
Speaker 1: You know, that incident with the special teams Steve, which

1338
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:27,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure you could identify with this is a very

1339
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 1: strange same player on the same returner in almost the

1340
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 1: exact same manner in which he was gonna get a

1341
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:35,599
Speaker 1: guy hurt or worse. It was just really, really bad,

1342
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 1: and it's supposed to be a bad look for the

1343
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,680
Speaker 1: Dolphins and Flores in the league that Brian Flores was

1344
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field looking to fight someone.

1345
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:48,800
Speaker 1: I loved it. I loved it, and I don't care

1346
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 1: if I'm not supposed to say that as represented the NFL.

1347
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 1: Flores said afterwards, I need to show poised there, I

1348
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:55,479
Speaker 1: need to show calm. I think he showed his team

1349
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:58,559
Speaker 1: exactly who he is, that he will literally fight someone

1350
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 1: if they try to hurt them or they try to

1351
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 1: do them wrong. I got goosebumps watching Floras in the

1352
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 1: middle of the field do that, because there's a lot

1353
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:09,559
Speaker 1: of coaches who wouldn't. There's a lot of coaches who

1354
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:11,640
Speaker 1: would do it to be posers, to pretend like they

1355
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:14,400
Speaker 1: would and hold me back. Flores was ready to go,

1356
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 1: and I know he regrets it, at least publicly. That

1357
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:22,120
Speaker 1: moment could be really, really seminal for the Dolphins if

1358
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 1: they do make a run and finish this in the playoffs.

1359
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:26,800
Speaker 1: Do not underestimate the power of a head coach you

1360
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 1: can get behind. I don't know about Tua, He's still

1361
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:32,720
Speaker 1: got to play better. He's not world beating. But I

1362
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 1: know about that head coach and I don't care who

1363
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:36,960
Speaker 1: their quarterback is right now. Dolphins are going to be

1364
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:38,800
Speaker 1: ready to walk through fire for him, and I think

1365
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:41,439
Speaker 1: they still are very dangerous in the East. Schedule does

1366
01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 1: get tougher for the Dolphins. Got Kansas City this week

1367
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:47,200
Speaker 1: home against the Patriots, then at the Raiders, and obviously

1368
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 1: here in week seventeen. Kyle, just to clarify and make

1369
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 1: sure we got it right. You feel good about the

1370
01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:58,200
Speaker 1: Bills this weekend Sunday Night against the Steelers. I feel

1371
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:00,679
Speaker 1: great about the Bills. If there is one unit, one

1372
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 1: group on the Bills team that I need a huge

1373
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 1: game out of, it's the secondary. And very briefly, i'll

1374
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:08,599
Speaker 1: tell you why the Steelers and receivers were embarrassed this

1375
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 1: week for the second week in a row. They are

1376
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:12,880
Speaker 1: now the butt of every joke. And if those guys

1377
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 1: have pride, which I know they do, Eric Ebron, Juju Smith, Shuster,

1378
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 1: James Washington will come out in kill mode in this

1379
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:23,680
Speaker 1: game to prove themselves, to prove their reputations. They were embarrassed.

1380
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:27,960
Speaker 1: So Trey and Jordan at out better be ready because

1381
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers wide receivers are gonna be on a mission.

1382
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:33,759
Speaker 1: I think they'll be ready. I'm saying Buffalo twenty six

1383
01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:38,760
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh twenty Okay, I agree. I think that's you know,

1384
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:41,360
Speaker 1: the Steelers have been good, and they've been good for

1385
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 1: a long time. This is a year where Ben came

1386
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 1: back and he's given them something they didn't have last year,

1387
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:47,479
Speaker 1: a guy that can make the throws, and then to

1388
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:51,680
Speaker 1: see themselves fall short in a way that they that

1389
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:54,800
Speaker 1: is unforgivable or you know, it's their own fall man

1390
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 1: ole Man. There's nothing more motivating than that to come

1391
01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 1: out and I expect a really great effort this week

1392
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:00,840
Speaker 1: from the Steelers. I'm kind of with you, but I

1393
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 1: do think all top to bottom, I think the Bills

1394
01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 1: are playing better right now. Chris, what are the analytics

1395
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:10,839
Speaker 1: on Feliciano rock and Cole Beasley? Yeah, that's rocking the Beasley.

1396
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 1: Um he proposed it too, Cole earlier in the week.

1397
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 1: I don't think Cole genuinely believed he would do it,

1398
01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:18,640
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he was up in

1399
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 1: the air and didn't know what the hell was going on.

1400
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:24,280
Speaker 1: We ask we asked Mitch Morris the Center about that

1401
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 1: celebration specifically, and he said, yeah, I I was out

1402
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 1: of the loop on that. I was going to congratulate people,

1403
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:32,839
Speaker 1: and then I didn't know what the hell was happening,

1404
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:35,320
Speaker 1: so I just got out of there. Um. Yeah, that's

1405
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:37,599
Speaker 1: where it began, and that that is. I think it's

1406
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:40,000
Speaker 1: top five so far in the NFL this season. I

1407
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 1: think it's a top four. Well. I respect Feliciano to

1408
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 1: have the strength, but more Beasley to have the security.

1409
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 1: I mean that could be a very emasculine exactly his careers.

1410
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:53,080
Speaker 1: But you know, it's December. We got a lot of

1411
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:56,799
Speaker 1: Felicianos going on. Felice he's got he's got T shirts.

1412
01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:59,720
Speaker 1: I loved it. He's got T shirts. Say police Na

1413
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 1: died with half of it. Well, leaving the right, Well,

1414
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 1: we'll see if we can get where it's it's not

1415
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:08,840
Speaker 1: team sponsored, it's a little he's got his own deal going.

1416
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:11,080
Speaker 1: So you may want to hook you may want to

1417
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 1: look him up on Instagram and see if you up.

1418
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:14,839
Speaker 1: But we'll see if we can work the back channels.

1419
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:17,080
Speaker 1: I thought it was a huge fashion risk on the

1420
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:19,160
Speaker 1: part of Cole Beasley, but I think he pulled it off.

1421
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:20,880
Speaker 1: If it was a red carpet. I think he's the

1422
01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:24,680
Speaker 1: he's the guy everybody's talking about. Yeah, yes, next next week,

1423
01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 1: we'll put him in the baby bijorn and walk around

1424
01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:32,600
Speaker 1: with him. All right, Kyle, good conversation. We'll see you

1425
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:36,439
Speaker 1: next week. That's Kyle Brand from Good Morning Football. Good Lord,

1426
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 1: we went to We took a left turn to Albuquerque there,

1427
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:44,280
Speaker 1: but always entertaining. Uh. I agree with him. I think

1428
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:46,559
Speaker 1: it is going to be a tight game on Sunday night.

1429
01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:50,000
Speaker 1: The Steelers are going to be a little sore about

1430
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:53,479
Speaker 1: how they've been portrayed. You know, the first law, the

1431
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 1: first l gets chalked up this week, so they're gonna

1432
01:15:56,880 --> 01:15:58,680
Speaker 1: be loaded for bear. I think too, it's gonna be

1433
01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:00,639
Speaker 1: one of those things where they feel like now after

1434
01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:03,200
Speaker 1: this and I think it is real that I've never

1435
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:05,640
Speaker 1: been in that spot where we've been undefeated through you know,

1436
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 1: ten or twelve games. I think it is real that burden,

1437
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:12,000
Speaker 1: that that elephant in the room that is sitting out

1438
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:13,800
Speaker 1: there for these teams that go one defeated deep into

1439
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:16,679
Speaker 1: the season and have that lifted. It's going to enable

1440
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 1: the Steelers and say, okay, now you know what, we

1441
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 1: can get back to business now. Let's go, and I

1442
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:23,400
Speaker 1: think it's a real It's a nice mental reset for

1443
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 1: those guys. Plus having the motivation of not having played

1444
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 1: well against the team they really should have handled is

1445
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 1: really going to do wonders for their site going into

1446
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:33,400
Speaker 1: this game on Sunday night for the Bills. One quick

1447

Speaker 1: very inspiring Monday night performance by our Buffalo Bills. Man, Hey, Maddie,

1463
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:46,880
Speaker 1: how are you? Hey? Guys, I feel like that intro

1464
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 1: should just really be for the Bill's offense after what

1465
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:52,640
Speaker 1: they did last night. It shouldn't say the Maddies. It

1466
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 1: should say like the Josh Allens or something like that,

1467
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 1: because they deserved like all the awards for what they

1468
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:03,680
Speaker 1: were able to put together against a top ten defense

1469
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 1: in the forty nine ers. Got that right. We'll talk

1470
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 1: to it. We'll talk to the graphics department. We'll see

1471
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 1: if we can get that altered for you. Mattie. You

1472
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 1: want it, You got it. We'll fix that up. Yeah,

1473
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah, you know what I want. I

1474
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:20,320
Speaker 1: want that Josh Allen Home Alone graphic that we saw

1475
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 1: on Monday night football on One Bill's Live. That was

1476
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:27,679
Speaker 1: my favorite graphic of the night. Josh Allen like pushed

1477
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:30,439
Speaker 1: the paint can down the stairs. Like in Home Alone,

1478
01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:34,599
Speaker 1: he was rocking an ugly sweater. It was amazing. Yeah,

1479
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:37,599
Speaker 1: that's right, But we have plenty of awards to get

1480
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:40,519
Speaker 1: to after all the strong performances in last night's game.

1481
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 1: So why don't we begin in an obvious place here

1482
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 1: with offensive MVP. Offensive MVP. I'm sure you guys have

1483
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:52,360
Speaker 1: covered this at length already, but let me just lay

1484
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:56,120
Speaker 1: it on thick again, because Josh Allen has got to

1485
01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:59,400
Speaker 1: be the offensive MVP of this game. I mean, he

1486
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:04,679
Speaker 1: is calm and confident on big stages when they play

1487
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:07,760
Speaker 1: in primetime games. It's never too big for him. When

1488
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 1: the offense is clicking the way it clicked last night

1489
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:13,439
Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers. You know, you look at

1490
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:17,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's third year in the NFL and quarterbacks as

1491
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:19,720
Speaker 1: a hole in year three, and it's it's a proven year.

1492
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:22,600
Speaker 1: It's a year to really look at a quarterback and

1493
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 1: see what he can offer four teams, see if he's

1494
01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:28,840
Speaker 1: capable of being a franchise quarterback. And Josh Allen has

1495
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:32,360
Speaker 1: done that time and time again this season. He continues

1496
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:35,840
Speaker 1: to silence the haters and the doubters with him performance.

1497
01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:39,160
Speaker 1: To do what he did last night on a Monday

1498
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:42,400
Speaker 1: night football stage, thirty two of forty for three hundred

1499
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:46,480
Speaker 1: and seventy five yards four touchdowns says a lot about

1500
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:49,360
Speaker 1: his future and what he can be for this franchise.

1501
01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 1: The mental toughness to be able to go back to

1502
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 1: Arizona and win a game after a really hard loss

1503
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:59,360
Speaker 1: came from the last time they were in Arizona, playing

1504
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:02,160
Speaker 1: at State arm Stadium. I've got to point out one

1505
01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:05,439
Speaker 1: pass that Josh Allen had that I just it was

1506
01:20:06,240 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 1: jaw dropping. He had to pass over to Gabriel Davis.

1507
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:13,360
Speaker 1: I think it was Davis's first or second reception. Josh

1508
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:16,840
Speaker 1: Allen threw it through like three defenders and placed it

1509
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:21,960
Speaker 1: perfectly into the hands of Gabriel Davis, basically throwing him open.

1510
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:25,400
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh my gosh, this is what a

1511
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 1: real deal quarterback looks like. He was amazing on plays

1512
01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 1: of twenty or more yards yesterday. It has thirty three

1513
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:36,400
Speaker 1: total touchdowns. Now for the season, continues to break records.

1514
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 1: I mean, if there was a record that was like

1515
01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:41,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen went to the moon and was the first

1516
01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:44,559
Speaker 1: quarterback to throw a touchdown at this point, I'd be like, yeah,

1517
01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:48,040
Speaker 1: that makes sense totally. Why not. Yeah, that you're right,

1518
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:50,840
Speaker 1: And he was. He looked like a different guy. His

1519
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:55,559
Speaker 1: attitude seemed different, his body language seemed much more calm. Yeah,

1520
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:58,120
Speaker 1: he didn't seem like the as we had Kyle Brandon.

1521
01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:00,479
Speaker 1: He didn't seem like the guy that was all sugar rushed,

1522
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:04,400
Speaker 1: you know, sugar high. He just really seemed no sugar Hi,

1523
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:08,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen that Kyle Brandt likes to talk about from yesterday?

1524
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 1: What was it? What's your award for? It? Is it

1525
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:15,200
Speaker 1: the always open Award? The always Open Award goes to

1526
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:19,960
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley. And I'm taking this slogan that Stefan Diggs

1527
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: has basically started, he said a couple of weeks ago

1528
01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:25,360
Speaker 1: after a press conference. He left it off, saying Cole

1529
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:28,640
Speaker 1: Beasley is always open and that's what he did the

1530
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:31,719
Speaker 1: last night for the Buffalo Bills. One hundred and thirty

1531
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:35,160
Speaker 1: receiving yards a career day for him. He ranks third

1532
01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 1: right now amongst wide receivers with an eighty point five

1533
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 1: percent catch percentage. He's thirty six receiving yards away from

1534
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:46,000
Speaker 1: tying his career high eight hundred thirty three receiving yards,

1535
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:52,920
Speaker 1: has thirty five reception yards to go. He's just proves

1536
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:56,919
Speaker 1: that he is more than a slot receiver to this offense.

1537
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:00,200
Speaker 1: And time and time again people say a great height

1538
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 1: end is just a secret weapon to your team. That's

1539
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:05,519
Speaker 1: how you can be really great on offenses by having

1540
01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 1: a tight end who can score touchdowns, who can catch passes.

1541
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 1: Lean know what, I think a good slot receiver is

1542
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:15,840
Speaker 1: just as important. Cole Beasley had an awesome year last

1543
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:18,840
Speaker 1: year for the Buffalo Bills, but this year he continues

1544
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:23,400
Speaker 1: to prove why he is a needed receiver in the offense.

1545
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:26,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen can look to him on so many different

1546
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:32,479
Speaker 1: types of plays and Cole Beasley always answers. Yeah, and Beasley.

1547
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:34,799
Speaker 1: I saw. I heard the other stat on Monday Night Football.

1548
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:37,639
Speaker 1: They said he's now got the most touchdowns I think

1549
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 1: in NFL history for a player five eight or shorter,

1550
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:43,519
Speaker 1: which I thought was kind of a past Darren Sprowls. Yeah,

1551
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:46,240
Speaker 1: kind of a cool stat. So I'm all about the

1552
01:22:46,280 --> 01:22:50,799
Speaker 1: short guy's getting credit. So I love that one defensive MVP, Maddie,

1553
01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:52,479
Speaker 1: there were a couple of candidates there, who did you

1554
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:56,599
Speaker 1: come down up? It was a good defensive performance. I mean,

1555
01:22:56,720 --> 01:23:01,360
Speaker 1: the secondary had a great game with an interception, Micah

1556
01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:05,000
Speaker 1: Hyde finally getting an interception. Tradevius White said at the

1557
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:06,920
Speaker 1: end of the game, once he talked to the media,

1558
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:09,280
Speaker 1: he was like, look, we allowed a touchdown in the

1559
01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:11,960
Speaker 1: third quarter of the fourth quarter. A good defense can't

1560
01:23:12,040 --> 01:23:14,400
Speaker 1: do things like that, so we still have things to correct.

1561
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:17,479
Speaker 1: But the defensive MVP for me goes out to Micah

1562
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:21,200
Speaker 1: Hyde forgetting that first interception of the season. He said

1563
01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:23,760
Speaker 1: the secondary was giving him a hard time about not

1564
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:28,120
Speaker 1: having one. He said he was doubting himself because all

1565
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 1: the secondary and the defensive players say, hey, sometimes it's

1566
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 1: just right place, right time. And Micah Hyde said after

1567
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 1: the game, you know, I truly believe at right place,

1568
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 1: right time, and the turnovers when they happen, they happen

1569
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:42,559
Speaker 1: in bunches. And that's been the case for this Buffalo

1570
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:46,559
Speaker 1: Bill's defense as of the last few weeks. Last week,

1571
01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde talked about Jordan Poyer having an all Pro year.

1572
01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:53,000
Speaker 1: Hyde has been picking up his play of late two.

1573
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:56,519
Speaker 1: He led the team with twelve tackles against the forty

1574
01:23:56,600 --> 01:23:59,080
Speaker 1: nine ers last night. In him and Jordan Poyer are

1575
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:01,240
Speaker 1: really going to be me down the stretch as we

1576
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 1: finish out the season and go into the playoffs. These

1577
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:07,400
Speaker 1: are two players who are super mature for this defense.

1578
01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:11,519
Speaker 1: They're able to do things that not every safety can do.

1579
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:14,400
Speaker 1: Not every safety. Tannem can do in the NFL and

1580
01:24:14,479 --> 01:24:16,599
Speaker 1: the wave they've been able to pick up the pace

1581
01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:19,240
Speaker 1: and just the aggressive nature that they've added to this

1582
01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:23,479
Speaker 1: defense really since the last four or five weeks, I

1583
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:26,519
Speaker 1: want to say, has been something that is great to

1584
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:29,599
Speaker 1: see and is going to continue to be needed down

1585
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:32,880
Speaker 1: the stretches that they faced the Steelers on Sunday night,

1586
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 1: who have a plenty of offensive weapons. Yes, and as

1587
01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:38,840
Speaker 1: this game took place and they offense started to take

1588
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:41,680
Speaker 1: off and they couldn't be stopped. There's one award you

1589
01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:44,080
Speaker 1: wanted to give out as a recognition I played this one.

1590
01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 1: I played in a game twenty five or whatever, however

1591
01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 1: many years ago where neither team punted, and you've got

1592
01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:53,760
Speaker 1: a bench warm or award for the Buffalo Bills. Now

1593
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:57,040
Speaker 1: what Coreyjrkez has just been keeping that bench warm all

1594
01:24:57,120 --> 01:25:00,200
Speaker 1: season for the Buffalo Bills. And usually you know want

1595
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:02,880
Speaker 1: a guy to come off the bench and have a

1596
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:05,720
Speaker 1: good game and get some time in the game on

1597
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:08,639
Speaker 1: the field. Corey bjork Is, just stay on the bench, please,

1598
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:12,400
Speaker 1: because you know you just helped the offense when you

1599
01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:15,479
Speaker 1: just stay on the bench. His only punt of the

1600
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:19,759
Speaker 1: game came in the fourth quarter, for the Bills, let alone.

1601
01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:23,240
Speaker 1: It was his sixty eight yard punt. He just boomed

1602
01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:26,200
Speaker 1: that thing. He also has the longest punt of the

1603
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:29,559
Speaker 1: season four punters in the NFL, with seventy two yards.

1604
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:32,759
Speaker 1: This guy has a strong leg. He's punted the fewest

1605
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 1: times this season twenty nine. Chris, you tweeted that out

1606
01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 1: during the game and like the third quarter, I think

1607
01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:40,559
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm just gonna leave this here. But Cory

1608
01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:43,000
Speaker 1: Mohorks has yet to punt, and he also has the

1609
01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:47,040
Speaker 1: lowest amount of punts in the NFL. So Coy, you

1610
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:50,040
Speaker 1: just keep doing your thing on special teams. Just keep

1611
01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:53,400
Speaker 1: that bench warm. It's getting colder outside. We're gonna need

1612
01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 1: you there all right quickly around the league, here, Mattie,

1613
01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:59,639
Speaker 1: best athlete of I guess of the week. We're going

1614
01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:04,559
Speaker 1: with you, the best athlete of the week. Yes, Tyreek Kill.

1615
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:06,960
Speaker 1: The things that he can do when a football is

1616
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:11,440
Speaker 1: thrown near him is just incredible. He had this absolutely

1617
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:15,639
Speaker 1: crazy catch in quotes air quotes because it wasn't actually

1618
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 1: ruled a catch, but it definitely should have been challenged.

1619
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:22,800
Speaker 1: He was in the end zone playing against the Broncos,

1620
01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:25,200
Speaker 1: and if you're watching TV, you can see it now.

1621
01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:28,840
Speaker 1: He has this catch where it bobbles off his fingertips,

1622
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:32,000
Speaker 1: hits his helmet, hits the defender's helmet. He goes down

1623
01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:35,280
Speaker 1: to the ground, is laying on his back, the ball

1624
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:38,400
Speaker 1: hasn't hit the ground yet, and manages to just turn

1625
01:26:38,479 --> 01:26:41,240
Speaker 1: over at the perfect time to catch the ball before

1626
01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:45,160
Speaker 1: it actually hits the ground. He has insane reflexes that

1627
01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:47,799
Speaker 1: I want. I can't believe a ball hit both players

1628
01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:51,400
Speaker 1: helmets and shoulder pads never hit the ground and managed

1629
01:26:51,439 --> 01:26:54,559
Speaker 1: to go into Tyreek Hills hands. Yeah. And as we

1630
01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 1: as we move on and we're up against the break here,

1631
01:26:57,080 --> 01:26:59,320
Speaker 1: I want to ask you this one. Hats off award

1632
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:02,599
Speaker 1: and got Alex Smith on here talk about what he

1633
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:06,640
Speaker 1: went through and how that team played yesterday. Yeah, how

1634
01:27:06,680 --> 01:27:10,800
Speaker 1: about the Washington football team beating the not so undefeated

1635
01:27:10,920 --> 01:27:13,639
Speaker 1: Anymore Steelers. They were eleven ol going into that game,

1636
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:17,400
Speaker 1: but Washington football team took them down, scoring twenty three

1637
01:27:17,479 --> 01:27:20,920
Speaker 1: points against a team that only allows seventeen points a game.

1638
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:24,320
Speaker 1: And how about Alex Smith in his comeback season, somebody

1639
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:26,519
Speaker 1: who a lot of people thought would never play football

1640
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:29,000
Speaker 1: again after that injury. He had good to see him

1641
01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:31,720
Speaker 1: have some success on the field. Also, he gets the

1642
01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:35,839
Speaker 1: Brainiac Award of yesterday because right before half he managed

1643
01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:38,439
Speaker 1: to put his team in the perfect position to get

1644
01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:41,840
Speaker 1: three points on the board because he ran off the

1645
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:46,559
Speaker 1: field with the football, which made the refs stop the clock.

1646
01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:49,160
Speaker 1: In order for the team to kick a field goal

1647
01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:52,799
Speaker 1: right before time expired, they had to reset the clock

1648
01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:56,479
Speaker 1: and get a kicking ball. A little bit confusing, not

1649
01:27:56,600 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 1: so sure if that's legal, but a brilliant effort by

1650
01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:04,599
Speaker 1: him to get three points as the clock expired going

1651
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:08,799
Speaker 1: into halftime. Yeah, smart play for sure, really veteran plays,

1652
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 1: and it's you know, take advantage of the rules. They're

1653
01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:14,599
Speaker 1: they're there for you. Hey, your benefit end your other

1654
01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:16,880
Speaker 1: team's not six point when in the end, So the

1655
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:20,599
Speaker 1: three points were important. Maddie, thanks as always for these

1656

Speaker 1: Maddie Awards. We hope we're talking to you on Monday

1657

Speaker 1: for another edition of Maddie Awards because that will mean

1658
01:28:25,600 --> 01:28:29,640

01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:56,439
Speaker 1: where you're at, just how giddy you are about this

1668
01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:59,080
Speaker 1: football team. When we return here on One Bill's Line,

1669
01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:16,800
Speaker 1: presented by Collote Health, it's Buffalo Bill's Radio time to

1670
01:29:16,800 --> 01:29:20,000
Speaker 1: go inside the numbers with New York Lottery. The New

1671
01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:23,599
Speaker 1: York Lottery has released their seasonal scratch off games once again.

1672
01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:25,680
Speaker 1: Head to your nearest retailer for the chance to win

1673
01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:31,920
Speaker 1: up to five hundred thousand dollars. Please gift responsibly. Bill's

1674
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:35,240
Speaker 1: wide receiver Cole Beasley had nine receptions and a career

1675
01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:37,559
Speaker 1: high one hundred and thirty receiving yards against the forty

1676
01:29:37,640 --> 01:29:40,040
Speaker 1: nine ers. Previous career high was one hundred and twelve

1677
01:29:40,120 --> 01:29:42,639
Speaker 1: yards in a game. Beasley had one hundred and thirteen

1678
01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:45,679
Speaker 1: yards in the first half alone, becoming the first Bill

1679
01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:48,559
Speaker 1: with one hundred plus receiving yards in an opening half

1680
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:52,320
Speaker 1: since Sammy Watkins did it against Kansas City back in

1681
01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:54,840
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, he had a one hundred and fifty eight

1682
01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:59,760
Speaker 1: yards against Casey. That was a ridiculous game. Second half

1683
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:02,880
Speaker 1: kind of tapered off, but he came out like he

1684
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:05,320
Speaker 1: got shot out of a cannon. And Beasley looked much

1685
01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:08,400
Speaker 1: the same yesterday. They didn't have an answer for that

1686
01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:13,360
Speaker 1: guy because primarily they were down to their third nickel corner.

1687
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:16,840
Speaker 1: Kawan Williams is their starting nickel. He was declared out

1688
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:22,280
Speaker 1: on Friday, and his backup Emmanuel Moseley was questionable with

1689
01:30:22,320 --> 01:30:24,880
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury and then was on the inactive list

1690
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:27,439
Speaker 1: last night, so they were down to their third guy.

1691
01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:30,600
Speaker 1: Dante Johnson was playing his first career game, making his

1692
01:30:30,640 --> 01:30:33,920
Speaker 1: first career start at nickel corner, and he didn't know

1693
01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:36,559
Speaker 1: which way was up against a veteran like Beasley. It

1694
01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:39,800
Speaker 1: was embarrassing, yeah, and also to the Niners dropped back

1695
01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:43,240
Speaker 1: into his own coverage out a ton and were taking

1696
01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:45,080
Speaker 1: their chances trying to get a chance to know to

1697
01:30:45,160 --> 01:30:47,479
Speaker 1: break on the ball and covering guys up and Josh

1698
01:30:47,520 --> 01:30:52,040
Speaker 1: Allen just made him defend too much field and then

1699
01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:54,519
Speaker 1: when he'd break contain and get out, he was throwing

1700
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:57,479
Speaker 1: it accurately to the guys crossing the field or breaking open.

1701
01:30:58,200 --> 01:31:00,800
Speaker 1: Beasley and Digs are starting and Davis as well are

1702
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:04,160
Speaker 1: starting to get a real feel for what Josh Allen

1703
01:31:04,280 --> 01:31:07,400
Speaker 1: wants him to do, particularly when he breaks contain. Certainly

1704
01:31:07,439 --> 01:31:08,800
Speaker 1: they know what they want to do when the plays

1705
01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:11,360
Speaker 1: are called and you run the route that's called. But

1706
01:31:11,439 --> 01:31:13,400
Speaker 1: when the pressure gets there or when Josh Allen has

1707
01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:15,880
Speaker 1: to avoid and then the play goes beyond, you run

1708
01:31:15,920 --> 01:31:17,960
Speaker 1: your route and then you look around and Josh is running,

1709
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:21,920
Speaker 1: Then it becomes about how familiar you are with what

1710
01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:24,679
Speaker 1: that quarterback is thinking and the play that you're looking around,

1711
01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:27,480
Speaker 1: where's the open area I can go to make myself available?

1712
01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:29,880
Speaker 1: And the quarterback has to trust that that's what you

1713
01:31:29,920 --> 01:31:33,480
Speaker 1: see is the exact same thing he sees. That's becoming

1714
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:38,360
Speaker 1: a given with these guys, and that makes him all

1715
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:42,000
Speaker 1: that much more dangerous. And you think about how you

1716
01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:45,960
Speaker 1: think about the progression of the way this season has

1717
01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:48,600
Speaker 1: unfolded on the offensive side of the ball. Beginning of

1718
01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:52,240
Speaker 1: the season, defenses think they can play this receiving cores

1719
01:31:52,240 --> 01:31:55,840
Speaker 1: man to man, and they are sorely mistaken, and the

1720
01:31:55,920 --> 01:31:58,880
Speaker 1: Bills are hanging thirty burghers on teams through the first

1721
01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:01,360
Speaker 1: month of the season. Then some defenses get a little

1722
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:03,200
Speaker 1: wiser and say, you know what, let's play a little

1723
01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:04,920
Speaker 1: more zone. Let's keep him in front of us, Let's

1724
01:32:04,920 --> 01:32:07,160
Speaker 1: force him to be patient. Let's see if they can

1725
01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:10,160
Speaker 1: be efficient and matriculate the ball down the field. That

1726
01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:14,320
Speaker 1: was an exercise in progress. It did not come all

1727
01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:16,519
Speaker 1: at once. It happened in baby steps. There were some

1728
01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:20,880
Speaker 1: times where this offense sputtered in certain games, and you

1729
01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:23,000
Speaker 1: look at where they were. Then they have seen so

1730
01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:26,960
Speaker 1: much zone coverage over the last six weeks. They know

1731
01:32:27,040 --> 01:32:30,120
Speaker 1: how to beat it. And we saw that last night,

1732
01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:33,519
Speaker 1: and that's why Robert Sala looked like somebody stole his

1733
01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:36,800
Speaker 1: kid's dog on the sideline last night. With the look

1734
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:39,479
Speaker 1: on his face. It was the most blank expression you

1735
01:32:39,479 --> 01:32:42,320
Speaker 1: could see from a play caller in this league that

1736
01:32:43,040 --> 01:32:45,640
Speaker 1: you could come up with, because he has said, all right,

1737
01:32:45,640 --> 01:32:47,240
Speaker 1: we've got to go into this game and play zone.

1738
01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:50,120
Speaker 1: We're shorthanded on the back end, and we got to

1739
01:32:50,160 --> 01:32:52,880
Speaker 1: keep it all in front of us. And Josh looked

1740
01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:55,080
Speaker 1: like a surgeon out there, I mean, just slicing and

1741
01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:58,080
Speaker 1: dicing and just doing whatever the hell he wanted. And

1742
01:32:58,120 --> 01:32:59,559
Speaker 1: then they're like, all right, well, I guess we gotta

1743
01:32:59,560 --> 01:33:01,680
Speaker 1: play a little a man. Get our hands in at

1744
01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:03,760
Speaker 1: least get our hands in a passing lane. I mean,

1745
01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:05,599
Speaker 1: they weren't even near the ball. How many I got

1746
01:33:05,680 --> 01:33:07,800
Speaker 1: to look it up. How many pass breakups did the

1747
01:33:07,800 --> 01:33:11,439
Speaker 1: forty nine ers have last night? Three? Yeah, something like that.

1748
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:15,200
Speaker 1: I mean it was just a lost credit or to

1749
01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:19,360
Speaker 1: his to his defense, he was standing on the sideline

1750
01:33:19,400 --> 01:33:21,760
Speaker 1: late in that game, and you could tell he knew

1751
01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:25,360
Speaker 1: what he was looking at. He knew the right win situation. Right.

1752
01:33:25,439 --> 01:33:28,559
Speaker 1: He was in a place where we don't have the

1753
01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:31,320
Speaker 1: people that can do anything to stop what this guy's

1754
01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:34,240
Speaker 1: doing to us. If we had all of our great players,

1755
01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:37,080
Speaker 1: you'd think, well maybe I got a chance here, or

1756
01:33:37,120 --> 01:33:38,840
Speaker 1: maybe this game would have gone differently. But with the

1757
01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:40,920
Speaker 1: guys they had available to them, in the schemes that

1758
01:33:40,920 --> 01:33:44,040
Speaker 1: they had ready for this game, they had nothing left

1759
01:33:44,040 --> 01:33:46,519
Speaker 1: in the tank to try. So Josh Allen threw forty

1760
01:33:46,520 --> 01:33:52,840
Speaker 1: passes last night. Okay, he had eight incompletions. Okay, I

1761
01:33:52,920 --> 01:33:58,519
Speaker 1: know he had at least three throws three throwaways at least.

1762
01:33:59,360 --> 01:34:03,040
Speaker 1: And the nine has had three pass breakups, So we've

1763
01:34:03,040 --> 01:34:06,360
Speaker 1: got two unaccounted for incompletions in the whole game. I

1764
01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:08,040
Speaker 1: think there might have been a bad at pass too.

1765
01:34:08,200 --> 01:34:11,080
Speaker 1: I can't remember. There was one to cole Bezi where

1766
01:34:11,080 --> 01:34:13,720
Speaker 1: he threw it down. We mentioned on the low, yes,

1767
01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:16,240
Speaker 1: low and inside, and he had a throwaway in the dirt,

1768
01:34:16,280 --> 01:34:19,920
Speaker 1: the dirt, the line pass on the screen, pass two

1769
01:34:19,960 --> 01:34:22,200
Speaker 1: to the far side, going right to let's four through

1770
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,679
Speaker 1: toad away through down, out of bounds. So that's four

1771
01:34:25,840 --> 01:34:28,080
Speaker 1: and then three pass breakups that seven. So we're just

1772
01:34:28,120 --> 01:34:32,320
Speaker 1: missing one, right, I mean, I know you can't take

1773
01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:35,160
Speaker 1: out the throwaways, but if you did, it's a pretty

1774
01:34:35,200 --> 01:34:37,840
Speaker 1: good night. This guy's thirty seven. That's why. That's why

1775
01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:40,400
Speaker 1: Robert slaws on the sidelines like he did everything but

1776
01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:42,400
Speaker 1: shrug his shoulder. Anything he didn't do was check. Right.

1777
01:34:42,920 --> 01:34:46,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what you want. Yeah, that's certainly right.

1778
01:34:46,080 --> 01:34:48,120
Speaker 1: And you look at what the Bills. The Bills are

1779
01:34:48,160 --> 01:34:51,080
Speaker 1: doing and they're twelve games this year, six of them

1780
01:34:51,080 --> 01:34:54,840
Speaker 1: they've scored thirty points half the games. Yeah, uh, it's

1781
01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:56,920
Speaker 1: a pretty good run. They didn't on opening day, but

1782
01:34:56,920 --> 01:34:59,320
Speaker 1: the next three they did. Then the of course the

1783
01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:01,800
Speaker 1: Titans and the Chief. You stayed sixteen and seventeen, and

1784
01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:04,320
Speaker 1: then to the Jets, they scored eighteen respectively. They actually

1785
01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:07,840
Speaker 1: won the Jet game, scoring eighteen points twenty four against

1786
01:35:07,840 --> 01:35:09,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots, and then of course they busted out against

1787
01:35:09,840 --> 01:35:13,080
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, the Cardinals, and then the Niners as well.

1788
01:35:13,080 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 1: They scored twenty seven against the Chargers too. So I

1789
01:35:17,120 --> 01:35:21,240
Speaker 1: guess what I'm saying is we are watching the maturation

1790
01:35:21,560 --> 01:35:28,600
Speaker 1: of an offense with high scoring potential, coming to understand

1791
01:35:29,560 --> 01:35:34,200
Speaker 1: where all of the answers are. And everybody is writing

1792
01:35:34,240 --> 01:35:36,719
Speaker 1: the same answer on their answer sheet for this offense,

1793
01:35:37,040 --> 01:35:40,320
Speaker 1: which is why receivers are in areas where they're supposed

1794
01:35:40,360 --> 01:35:44,640
Speaker 1: to be and their quarterback is finding them with alarming proficiency.

1795
01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:48,000
Speaker 1: Alarming And if they keep playing like this, and I'm

1796
01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:50,800
Speaker 1: not saying they will, but if they keep playing like this,

1797
01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:52,800
Speaker 1: I don't know who the hell's stopping them. Right well,

1798
01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:54,719
Speaker 1: I really know. If you want to know, we're gonna

1799
01:35:54,720 --> 01:35:56,280
Speaker 1: break right here. But let me just say this, let

1800
01:35:56,320 --> 01:35:58,000
Speaker 1: me just wind up, and so I'll save it for

1801
01:35:58,040 --> 01:36:01,280
Speaker 1: after the break out. This Bill's offense. We'll talk about

1802
01:36:01,280 --> 01:36:02,519
Speaker 1: it when we come back. We got a lot to

1803
01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:04,519
Speaker 1: talk about and what you can help you to break? Yeah,

1804
01:36:04,560 --> 01:36:06,560
Speaker 1: and we've got your phone calls as well in the

1805
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:09,160
Speaker 1: hour of the show. Yeah, you do that and we'll

1806
01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:11,760
Speaker 1: get you a sports update when we come back, and

1807
01:36:12,520 --> 01:36:15,400
Speaker 1: some around the locker room sound and then your phone

1808
01:36:15,400 --> 01:36:16,760
Speaker 1: calls the rest of the way. We want to know

1809
01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:19,000
Speaker 1: what kind of team you think you've got. In this

1815
01:36:46,160 --> 01:36:48,559
Speaker 1: four win over the forty nine Ers, Josh Allen had

1816

Speaker 1: another monster game against an NFC West opponent, completing eighty

1817
01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:54,599
Speaker 1: percent of his passes the three hundred and seventy five

1818
01:36:54,680 --> 01:36:57,639
Speaker 1: yards and four touchdowns. Cole Beasley led the receiving corps

1819
01:36:57,640 --> 01:36:59,479
Speaker 1: with one hundred and thirty yards, a career high for

1820
01:36:59,560 --> 01:37:02,519
Speaker 1: him and to touchdown. The Bills will host the Steelers

1821
01:37:03,040 --> 01:37:06,160
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Speaking of the Steelers, they entered Monday as

1822
01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:09,120
Speaker 1: the last undefeated team, but fell to Washington twenty three

1823
01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:11,720
Speaker 1: seventeen in an upset to suffer their first loss of

1824
01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:14,479
Speaker 1: the season. The Steelers are now eleven and one, tied

1825
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:18,599
Speaker 1: with the AFC leading Chiefs in the conference race. In

1826
01:37:18,640 --> 01:37:20,680
Speaker 1: the game, for the second game in a row, the

1827
01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:24,080
Speaker 1: Steelers lost another linebacker to a knee injury. Inside linebacker

1828
01:37:24,160 --> 01:37:27,120
Speaker 1: Robert Spillane suffered an apparent left knee injury in the

1829
01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:30,360
Speaker 1: third quarter of Monday's loss to Washington. He's expected to

1830
01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:33,680
Speaker 1: miss some time, including next week against the Bills. He

1831
01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:36,080
Speaker 1: will not need surgery, though he is expected to return

1832
01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:38,800
Speaker 1: at some point this season. The Steelers should get running

1833
01:37:38,840 --> 01:37:41,320
Speaker 1: back James Connor back off the COVID list to play

1834
01:37:41,320 --> 01:37:44,800
Speaker 1: Sunday night against Buffalo. However, he's eligible to be activated.

1835
01:37:45,080 --> 01:37:47,120
Speaker 1: It would be a big boost for Pittsburgh, whose running

1836
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:50,040
Speaker 1: game has averaged just one point five yards per carry

1837
01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:54,519
Speaker 1: yesterday against Washington. Wolf Eagles head coach Doug Peterson is

1838
01:37:54,600 --> 01:37:58,040
Speaker 1: naming Jalen Hurts his new starting quarterback, and the rookie

1839
01:37:58,120 --> 01:38:01,599
Speaker 1: will start Sunday against the Orleans Saints, who will, by

1840
01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:05,840
Speaker 1: the way, have the number one defense in football. Carson Wentz,

1841
01:38:05,840 --> 01:38:08,400
Speaker 1: who was benched in last week's game, will now serve

1842
01:38:08,520 --> 01:38:11,599
Speaker 1: as a backup to Hurts, and the NHL and Players

1843
01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:15,599
Speaker 1: Association are continuing talks regarding the twenty twenty twenty one season.

1844
01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:19,559
Speaker 1: Reports Monday said talks are centered around a fifty two

1845
01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:23,200
Speaker 1: or fifty six game schedule starting January thirteenth, with the

1846
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:26,880
Speaker 1: hopes of the Cup Finals ending in early July. That

1847
01:38:27,080 --> 01:38:29,559
Speaker 1: is your sports update from One Bill's Drive. Chris Brown

1848
01:38:29,600 --> 01:38:32,679
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you our number three of eight Bills

1849
01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:38,720
Speaker 1: victory Tuesday edition of One Bills Live. And we do

1850
01:38:38,840 --> 01:38:41,360
Speaker 1: want to go around the locker room a bit because

1851
01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:43,720
Speaker 1: a lot of the postgame sound came back in the

1852
01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:46,600
Speaker 1: wee hours of the morning, so a lot of you

1853
01:38:46,760 --> 01:38:51,960
Speaker 1: probably hit the sack after the game was over and

1854
01:38:52,040 --> 01:38:54,040
Speaker 1: didn't hear a lot of the comments from the players

1855
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:56,680
Speaker 1: and from coach McDermott. So we are going to go

1856
01:38:56,840 --> 01:38:59,800
Speaker 1: around the locker room. And that has brought to you

1857
01:38:59,800 --> 01:39:04,520
Speaker 1: by I Connect Life, your Blood and organ Donor Network.

1858
01:39:04,880 --> 01:39:08,320
Speaker 1: And we begin with Sean McDermott, who had this to

1859
01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:12,160
Speaker 1: say about Josh Allen and the offensive performance against the

1860
01:39:12,160 --> 01:39:17,040
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. That's how he's wired um and and

1861
01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:21,000
Speaker 1: our offense feeds off it, and I just really appreciate

1862
01:39:21,080 --> 01:39:24,519
Speaker 1: the way he played the game. Tonight. He played the game,

1863
01:39:26,240 --> 01:39:30,599
Speaker 1: you know, in a very patient way when he needed

1864
01:39:30,600 --> 01:39:33,000
Speaker 1: to be patient. He took some shots when he when

1865
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:36,880
Speaker 1: he needed to take some shots. And I thought, you know,

1866
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:39,840
Speaker 1: coach Dabel caught a great game and Josh and the

1867
01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:42,640
Speaker 1: offense executed. I mean, there were some moments where we

1868
01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:45,160
Speaker 1: had some leagues and I thought the offensive line, in

1869
01:39:45,240 --> 01:39:47,760
Speaker 1: order to have those numbers, you know, the quarterbacks, the

1870
01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:49,639
Speaker 1: offensive line's got to give him time. And I thought

1871
01:39:49,640 --> 01:39:52,479
Speaker 1: they did that for the most part. And then here

1872
01:39:52,560 --> 01:39:56,919
Speaker 1: is Josh Allen addressing his comfort level that coach McDermott

1873
01:39:56,960 --> 01:39:59,200
Speaker 1: spoke about within the scope of the offense Monday night.

1874
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:03,120
Speaker 1: A team that care about each other in an extreme amount.

1875
01:40:03,160 --> 01:40:06,120
Speaker 1: We practice extremely hard and really, I think our main

1876
01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:08,360
Speaker 1: goals not to let each other down. So when you

1877
01:40:08,439 --> 01:40:10,760
Speaker 1: got a group of guys wanted to do that, it

1878
01:40:10,760 --> 01:40:12,800
Speaker 1: doesn't matter how fast or how slow you start. You

1879
01:40:12,880 --> 01:40:15,200
Speaker 1: always feel like you've you've got to step in the game.

1880
01:40:15,240 --> 01:40:18,880
Speaker 1: And against not starting how we wanted to turn up

1881
01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:21,559
Speaker 1: run downs in the fumble, but we didn't let it

1882
01:40:21,680 --> 01:40:23,479
Speaker 1: phase us. We understood that there was a lot of

1883
01:40:23,479 --> 01:40:27,479
Speaker 1: time lock in the game. And I think the key

1884
01:40:27,520 --> 01:40:29,959
Speaker 1: takeaway from the night is you know, we stopped ourselves.

1885
01:40:30,640 --> 01:40:32,160
Speaker 1: And when we don't do that, when we make the

1886
01:40:32,240 --> 01:40:34,559
Speaker 1: decisions and our guys are allowed to go get open,

1887
01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:37,679
Speaker 1: we protect the quarterback and protect them all for that matter,

1888
01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:42,840
Speaker 1: good things are going to happen. I mean that pretty

1889
01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:45,200
Speaker 1: much sums it up in a nutshell. I mean McDermott's

1890
01:40:45,280 --> 01:40:49,400
Speaker 1: characterization of Josh's poise in the game, where he never

1891
01:40:49,439 --> 01:40:52,000
Speaker 1: really looked like his head was scrambled at any point

1892
01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:56,560
Speaker 1: in the contest. Yeah, and then Josh, you know, reiterating

1893
01:40:56,600 --> 01:40:59,200
Speaker 1: this because he's addressed this before. Just the implicit trust

1894
01:40:59,800 --> 01:41:02,720
Speaker 1: for one player to the next on that roster, and

1895
01:41:03,360 --> 01:41:06,839
Speaker 1: that goes a long way, like when that inherent trust

1896
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:09,800
Speaker 1: is there, especially quarterback and receiver, but that I mean

1897
01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:13,280
Speaker 1: it goes across the board. You know, Mitch Morris making

1898
01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:16,120
Speaker 1: a line call, he's trusting Feliciano's passing that down to

1899
01:41:16,160 --> 01:41:19,559
Speaker 1: the tackle. I mean, it's simple stuff sometimes, but when

1900
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,720
Speaker 1: you have the trust as a component of that, everybody's

1901
01:41:23,760 --> 01:41:26,479
Speaker 1: playing a lot freer. And I'm kind of I'm kind

1902
01:41:26,479 --> 01:41:29,479
Speaker 1: of remembering, you know, being back in that type of

1903
01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:32,160
Speaker 1: environment when I played, and the thing that none of

1904
01:41:32,200 --> 01:41:36,960
Speaker 1: us get out here is how hard they work to

1905
01:41:37,080 --> 01:41:39,479
Speaker 1: make that happen. I mean, it is a real effort

1906
01:41:39,479 --> 01:41:42,719
Speaker 1: in his conscious effort, and there's tangible and real things

1907
01:41:42,760 --> 01:41:46,680
Speaker 1: you gotta do that are like like, Okay, you know,

1908
01:41:46,840 --> 01:41:49,200
Speaker 1: you've got to address certain issues, you got to talk

1909
01:41:49,240 --> 01:41:53,400
Speaker 1: about it, you got to spend time on it, and

1910
01:41:53,400 --> 01:41:55,960
Speaker 1: in this environment with COVID around and these guys doing

1911
01:41:56,000 --> 01:41:58,679
Speaker 1: that a lot of this virtually, and and limited time

1912
01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:00,519
Speaker 1: on the practice field or at least sitting next to

1913
01:42:00,520 --> 01:42:02,000
Speaker 1: each other where he can do this having and just

1914
01:42:02,160 --> 01:42:03,519
Speaker 1: walking out and say hey, let's go into this room

1915
01:42:03,520 --> 01:42:04,880
Speaker 1: and watch the film. You can't really do that. You

1916
01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:07,120
Speaker 1: got to like get a hold of them and pull

1917
01:42:07,160 --> 01:42:11,800
Speaker 1: them in. The amount of effort it takes to get

1918
01:42:11,840 --> 01:42:13,600
Speaker 1: to this level that we're talking about, at least the

1919
01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:18,520
Speaker 1: manifestation of it is enormous. And that's you know why,

1920
01:42:18,720 --> 01:42:20,960
Speaker 1: you know, when you win games like this, and when

1921
01:42:20,960 --> 01:42:22,720
Speaker 1: you go in and you get playoff games, and you

1922
01:42:22,720 --> 01:42:24,759
Speaker 1: win playoff games and you look back on the season,

1923
01:42:25,840 --> 01:42:28,679
Speaker 1: the amount of effort these guys put forward into things

1924
01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:31,839
Speaker 1: that you just can't see and can't really quantify is amazing.

1925
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:34,720
Speaker 1: And it's that hearing these guys talk about that is

1926
01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:40,200
Speaker 1: reminds me of how what they're going through. Yeah, on

1927
01:42:40,240 --> 01:42:42,960
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, the play and the

1928
01:42:43,080 --> 01:42:47,080
Speaker 1: level of play has been on a steady ascent. Terms

1929
01:42:47,080 --> 01:42:50,160
Speaker 1: of pass pressure, in terms of taking the ball away,

1930
01:42:50,640 --> 01:42:54,760
Speaker 1: in terms of playing more physical at the line of scrimmage.

1931
01:42:55,160 --> 01:42:57,439
Speaker 1: They have done at all over the better part of

1932
01:42:57,479 --> 01:42:59,639
Speaker 1: the last five or six weeks and it has made

1933
01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:03,599
Speaker 1: a gigantic difference. Trudevious White, who had an interception at

1934
01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:06,280
Speaker 1: the goal line last night where the clutch player the

1935
01:43:06,320 --> 01:43:11,720
Speaker 1: clutch time, talked about the defensive improvement, keep getting better,

1936
01:43:11,880 --> 01:43:14,000
Speaker 1: keep climbing and keep getting better. But you know, obviously

1937
01:43:14,040 --> 01:43:17,400
Speaker 1: there's always uh errors to get better. But as more

1938
01:43:17,400 --> 01:43:19,599
Speaker 1: as many reps as we get we continue to get

1939
01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:21,840
Speaker 1: better and continue to jail that we had. Matt alone

1940
01:43:21,840 --> 01:43:23,840
Speaker 1: will come back, and you know he's a big piece

1941
01:43:23,840 --> 01:43:26,200
Speaker 1: to to our defense too. So here's always a company

1942
01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:28,640
Speaker 1: in boost w you have pay caliber like Matt to

1943
01:43:28,640 --> 01:43:30,479
Speaker 1: come back and play big time football for it. So

1944
01:43:30,960 --> 01:43:33,559
Speaker 1: I mean, as we continue to practice in jail and

1945
01:43:33,600 --> 01:43:35,320
Speaker 1: as the season going along, we continue to get better

1946
01:43:35,320 --> 01:43:37,479
Speaker 1: because like I said a few weeks ago, I mean,

1947
01:43:37,520 --> 01:43:40,599
Speaker 1: he's still the group of guys that we have are new.

1948
01:43:40,880 --> 01:43:43,519
Speaker 1: This is a basically new defense. We got basically out

1949
01:43:43,560 --> 01:43:45,160
Speaker 1: secondary and a couple of a couple of guys that

1950
01:43:45,200 --> 01:43:46,720
Speaker 1: we still have back, but we got a new we

1951
01:43:46,720 --> 01:43:48,120
Speaker 1: got a new front with a lot of guys. So

1952
01:43:48,280 --> 01:43:50,679
Speaker 1: just take time to jail. But uh, as we continue

1953
01:43:50,680 --> 01:43:52,479
Speaker 1: to hang around each other and practice together and hang

1954
01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:55,240
Speaker 1: around and joke around, continue to get better as as

1955
01:43:56,439 --> 01:44:01,160
Speaker 1: as as one. And that's pretty much the defensive summation

1956
01:44:01,520 --> 01:44:04,760
Speaker 1: by Treudavious White. He looked like an attorney there giving

1957
01:44:04,800 --> 01:44:09,639
Speaker 1: his final summation as his gestures. Yeah, but yeah, he's uh,

1958
01:44:11,120 --> 01:44:14,000
Speaker 1: you know, they held the fort down now, Milano is

1959
01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:16,799
Speaker 1: an interesting conversation that we really haven't even had yet. Steve,

1960
01:44:17,400 --> 01:44:22,360
Speaker 1: he gets nineteen snaps last night, plays mainly on passing

1961
01:44:22,400 --> 01:44:25,400
Speaker 1: downs serving in a coverage role, although they did Evan

1962
01:44:25,439 --> 01:44:29,200
Speaker 1: blitz once or twice I think, But it was clear,

1963
01:44:30,760 --> 01:44:32,800
Speaker 1: at least to me that they were trying to keep

1964
01:44:32,920 --> 01:44:38,439
Speaker 1: him from, you know, the physical confrontational battles at the

1965
01:44:38,479 --> 01:44:41,160
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage with big men. They had him dropping

1966
01:44:41,160 --> 01:44:44,280
Speaker 1: into coverage a good deal to use his athleticism more

1967
01:44:44,280 --> 01:44:46,200
Speaker 1: than anything else. Yeah, I think the play we just

1968
01:44:46,240 --> 01:44:48,400
Speaker 1: saw here on MSG He came off the edge and

1969
01:44:48,479 --> 01:44:50,679
Speaker 1: rushed the right tackle and got up inside. He forced

1970
01:44:50,720 --> 01:44:54,320
Speaker 1: the incompletion by Mullen. That was the blitz. With his

1971
01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:56,720
Speaker 1: pass rush, he was right on him. He was on

1972
01:44:56,760 --> 01:44:58,360
Speaker 1: the guy's chest as he was trying to release the

1973
01:44:58,400 --> 01:45:01,720
Speaker 1: ball and forced a bad throw. His athleticism is what

1974
01:45:01,800 --> 01:45:04,000
Speaker 1: set him apart last night. There was one time when

1975
01:45:04,040 --> 01:45:07,960
Speaker 1: Mostart trying to guard Mostart. It was a screen passed

1976
01:45:07,960 --> 01:45:11,080
Speaker 1: by the Niners. He was rushing the passer put the

1977
01:45:11,120 --> 01:45:13,599
Speaker 1: brakes on, turned around and ran back, and as Mostard

1978
01:45:13,600 --> 01:45:16,280
Speaker 1: tried to stop to make a cut up field, Mulano

1979
01:45:16,320 --> 01:45:19,880
Speaker 1: got him from behind. His speed and athleticism is what

1980
01:45:19,920 --> 01:45:22,439
Speaker 1: we missed in this defense. His ability to change direction

1981
01:45:22,479 --> 01:45:24,920
Speaker 1: and run guys down and get on their side of

1982
01:45:24,960 --> 01:45:27,720
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and make a play has been

1983
01:45:27,720 --> 01:45:30,520
Speaker 1: what this defense has missed. And kudos to the defensive

1984
01:45:30,560 --> 01:45:32,920
Speaker 1: staff for saying, look, we still don't have one hundred

1985
01:45:32,920 --> 01:45:35,720
Speaker 1: percent Matt Mulano, but we have a role for him

1986
01:45:35,760 --> 01:45:39,559
Speaker 1: and we can plug him in in these situations and

1987
01:45:39,680 --> 01:45:43,559
Speaker 1: deploy his athletic ability in this fashion where it will

1988
01:45:43,560 --> 01:45:46,120
Speaker 1: serve a purpose and it will help us. I don't

1989
01:45:46,160 --> 01:45:49,559
Speaker 1: think they were there five weeks ago, when I don't

1990
01:45:49,560 --> 01:45:52,040
Speaker 1: think they were quite sure what he could and could

1991
01:45:52,040 --> 01:45:55,200
Speaker 1: not do based on his physical imitations. Because of the injury,

1992
01:45:55,840 --> 01:45:58,599
Speaker 1: he's healed up. I don't think he's one hundred percent.

1993
01:45:58,840 --> 01:46:00,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if he will be the to this season,

1994
01:46:01,560 --> 01:46:04,120
Speaker 1: but it's clear that the coaching staff has found a

1995
01:46:04,200 --> 01:46:07,439
Speaker 1: role for him to play where he is helping this

1996
01:46:07,520 --> 01:46:11,519
Speaker 1: defense unquestionably. Eight oh three oh five fifty one eight

1997
01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:14,360
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty. Phone lines are open

1998
01:46:14,400 --> 01:46:17,160
Speaker 1: for you to take advantage. As we are asking you

1999
01:46:17,720 --> 01:46:22,479
Speaker 1: on the Twitter poll today, how are you feeling following

2000
01:46:22,479 --> 01:46:25,120
Speaker 1: the Bills Monday night football win over the forty nine Ers. A.

2001
01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:29,880
Speaker 1: I'm seeing sounds and hearing colors, super Bowl busses pulling out.

2002
01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:35,640
Speaker 1: B pumped and confident, Bring on the Steelers or see,

2003
01:46:35,800 --> 01:46:40,280
Speaker 1: I'm encouraged, but still some AFC hurdles to clear. First

2004
01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:43,360
Speaker 1: and right now, the far and away leader is pumped

2005
01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:46,519
Speaker 1: and confident, Bring on the Steelers, getting almost two thirds

2006
01:46:46,520 --> 01:46:49,559
Speaker 1: of the vote. Second right now with about twenty six

2007
01:46:49,600 --> 01:46:52,759
Speaker 1: percent of the vote. Encouraged but still some AFC hurdles

2008
01:46:52,760 --> 01:46:57,320
Speaker 1: to clear, and nobody's gaga yet right well nine percent

2009
01:46:57,360 --> 01:47:01,360
Speaker 1: of the population is Gaga, and it's the way I'm

2010
01:47:01,400 --> 01:47:03,920
Speaker 1: looking at this, and we're all a little bit. We're

2011
01:47:03,920 --> 01:47:06,200
Speaker 1: all pretty pumped after that game last night. It's hard

2012
01:47:06,240 --> 01:47:08,559
Speaker 1: to imagine. I think it was the most impressive win

2013
01:47:08,600 --> 01:47:10,519
Speaker 1: they've had all season. They looked the best doing it.

2014
01:47:10,600 --> 01:47:15,040
Speaker 1: Even if the Niners weren't at full strength. I still

2015
01:47:15,040 --> 01:47:17,040
Speaker 1: think it was impressive. And here's the thing that I

2016
01:47:17,080 --> 01:47:19,280
Speaker 1: was going to say before the break, when I said that,

2017
01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:21,479
Speaker 1: you know, if you're gonna spend this positive, think about

2018
01:47:21,479 --> 01:47:23,400
Speaker 1: this for a minute. They played as good at offensive

2019
01:47:23,439 --> 01:47:26,280
Speaker 1: game as they have had all year against a top defense,

2020
01:47:26,280 --> 01:47:28,880
Speaker 1: one of the top defenses in the league, and they

2021
01:47:28,920 --> 01:47:32,840
Speaker 1: looked really good doing it. Think about this. They're gonna

2022
01:47:32,880 --> 01:47:36,439
Speaker 1: get John Brown back, and this offense may have a

2023
01:47:36,479 --> 01:47:39,920
Speaker 1: gear that we have yet to see this season, a

2024
01:47:39,960 --> 01:47:45,800
Speaker 1: gear that gives them another weapon, another formation for a

2025
01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:49,479
Speaker 1: flexibility in their personnel. I saw last night Dawson Knox

2026
01:47:49,560 --> 01:47:51,559
Speaker 1: was clear out to the boundary on a couple of things.

2027
01:47:51,760 --> 01:47:54,120
Speaker 1: They motioned them in more often than not. They started

2028
01:47:54,160 --> 01:47:57,519
Speaker 1: him at the sideline, then brought him inside off the

2029
01:47:57,560 --> 01:48:00,280
Speaker 1: wing as a shift. Just to find out something about

2030
01:48:00,280 --> 01:48:06,880
Speaker 1: the defense. With John Brown, in the mix. This is

2031
01:48:06,880 --> 01:48:08,920
Speaker 1: a deep This is an offense that can go go

2032
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:11,280
Speaker 1: another step, and it's hard to imagine what that step

2033
01:48:11,280 --> 01:48:13,920
Speaker 1: would look like. But you're talking about Kansas City Chief steps.

2034
01:48:14,200 --> 01:48:19,000
Speaker 1: You're talking about teams like that where it's you may

2035
01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:21,519
Speaker 1: not any team you face the rest of the way

2036
01:48:21,600 --> 01:48:24,280
Speaker 1: may not have enough answers to get you out of

2037
01:48:24,320 --> 01:48:27,799
Speaker 1: these you know the questions they're being asked by your offense.

2038
01:48:29,200 --> 01:48:32,720
Speaker 1: I love when Brian Davil goes empty with eleven personnel

2039
01:48:33,400 --> 01:48:36,040
Speaker 1: and he puts the tight end way outside on one

2040
01:48:36,080 --> 01:48:38,200
Speaker 1: side and he puts the back way out on the

2041
01:48:38,200 --> 01:48:41,560
Speaker 1: other side because he knows those guys are going to

2042
01:48:41,600 --> 01:48:44,840
Speaker 1: get the linebackers more often than not as the matchups.

2043
01:48:44,880 --> 01:48:48,000
Speaker 1: So now he's got the linebackers all the way out

2044
01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:50,960
Speaker 1: wide what's wide open the middle of the field, and

2045
01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:54,000
Speaker 1: then he runs a high low concept with Cole Beasley

2046
01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:56,360
Speaker 1: and Stefan Diggs in a wide open middle of the

2047
01:48:56,360 --> 01:48:59,160
Speaker 1: field where you only have the deep safety that's got

2048
01:48:59,160 --> 01:49:01,720
Speaker 1: to come down and help. That is game, set and

2049
01:49:01,840 --> 01:49:04,600
Speaker 1: match before the balls even snap. And most teams what

2050
01:49:04,640 --> 01:49:07,040
Speaker 1: they'll do is if they if they send those guys out,

2051
01:49:07,080 --> 01:49:09,479
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna check it off to zone, bring

2052
01:49:09,479 --> 01:49:14,679
Speaker 1: the linebackers back inside, and then you know, go from there.

2053
01:49:15,360 --> 01:49:19,040
Speaker 1: If they do that, and you know they're gonna do that,

2054
01:49:19,040 --> 01:49:21,200
Speaker 1: that works to your advantage as well, because then you

2055
01:49:21,200 --> 01:49:23,640
Speaker 1: you've got some well if they're staying outside, you know

2056
01:49:23,720 --> 01:49:27,640
Speaker 1: it's manned right, and so have fun with that, right

2057
01:49:27,920 --> 01:49:30,719
Speaker 1: whatever defense is going against Cole Beasley and Stefan Diggs

2058
01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:32,280
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field one on one, I

2059
01:49:32,280 --> 01:49:34,960
Speaker 1: mean because both because both in that situation, Diggs and

2060
01:49:34,960 --> 01:49:37,880
Speaker 1: Beasley both have two way goes inside or outside deep

2061
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:40,479
Speaker 1: or I mean they've got four way goes deep, shallow

2062
01:49:40,760 --> 01:49:44,960
Speaker 1: and inside outside. You just forget it, you know, I mean,

2063
01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:46,640
Speaker 1: it's it's too big, it's too much to ask and

2064
01:49:47,080 --> 01:49:49,200
Speaker 1: I and I wrote this in the top three things

2065
01:49:49,240 --> 01:49:52,120
Speaker 1: we learned from Bield's forty nine ers last night. Bryan

2066
01:49:52,200 --> 01:49:57,680
Speaker 1: Dable had all the right answers, and granted, he had

2067
01:49:57,680 --> 01:49:59,960
Speaker 1: the advantage to a certain extent in terms of qualit

2068
01:50:00,040 --> 01:50:03,479
Speaker 1: of personnel last night with all the injuries that San

2069
01:50:03,560 --> 01:50:07,200
Speaker 1: Francisco had at the cornerback position. But don't blame Brian

2070
01:50:07,280 --> 01:50:10,080
Speaker 1: Dable for that. He's just taken advantage of something they

2071
01:50:10,080 --> 01:50:12,360
Speaker 1: could take advantage of and they did it in a

2072
01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:14,519
Speaker 1: big way last night. And I mean, you know, all

2073
01:50:14,520 --> 01:50:16,600
Speaker 1: the right answers. Whether it was that rub concept that

2074
01:50:16,680 --> 01:50:19,320
Speaker 1: had Isaiah McKenzie wide open for the touchdown in the

2075
01:50:19,360 --> 01:50:22,639
Speaker 1: second half, Gabriel Davis that looked more like a busted

2076
01:50:22,680 --> 01:50:25,080
Speaker 1: coverage assignment in terms of his zone, it looked like

2077
01:50:25,160 --> 01:50:27,439
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman clearly thought he had help over the top

2078
01:50:27,800 --> 01:50:31,439
Speaker 1: and it never came. And there's Gabriel Davis skipping and skipping,

2079
01:50:31,479 --> 01:50:33,920
Speaker 1: his skipping to his lou, skipped to my lou into

2080
01:50:33,920 --> 01:50:38,759
Speaker 1: the end zone right standing by himself. The Isaiah McKenzie

2081
01:50:38,840 --> 01:50:41,760
Speaker 1: play could not have been more open. And I'll tell

2082
01:50:41,800 --> 01:50:44,000
Speaker 1: you what the thing that helped this play to Gabe

2083
01:50:44,040 --> 01:50:45,760
Speaker 1: Davis when when he ended up in the end zone

2084
01:50:45,760 --> 01:50:48,200
Speaker 1: by himself, it was really subtle. And I mentioned it

2085
01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:50,679
Speaker 1: on the broadcast. Josh Allen gave the big shoulder fake

2086
01:50:50,760 --> 01:50:53,200
Speaker 1: like he was gonna throw it. And on the replay

2087
01:50:53,400 --> 01:50:56,719
Speaker 1: when Josh Allen gives that pump fake, all the defense,

2088
01:50:56,760 --> 01:51:01,400
Speaker 1: all three defensive backs like just hesitated. I mean it

2089
01:51:01,439 --> 01:51:03,160
Speaker 1: buckled their knees because they thought they were gonna have

2090
01:51:03,200 --> 01:51:05,960
Speaker 1: to break on the ball. Then by that time Gabe

2091
01:51:06,000 --> 01:51:09,479
Speaker 1: Davis is still running, it ends up being in wide open.

2092
01:51:09,520 --> 01:51:11,840
Speaker 1: You gotta respect the arm strength, otherwise you're not getting

2093
01:51:11,880 --> 01:51:14,200
Speaker 1: there in town. That's right. He pump faked it and

2094
01:51:14,280 --> 01:51:19,400
Speaker 1: then the entire defense flinched, and that's man, it's hard

2095
01:51:19,439 --> 01:51:24,080
Speaker 1: to come back from. And very quietly, your third receiver,

2096
01:51:24,400 --> 01:51:27,479
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis in the last two games six catches, one

2097
01:51:27,520 --> 01:51:30,519
Speaker 1: hundred and forty seven yards and a touchdown in two games.

2098
01:51:31,280 --> 01:51:33,479
Speaker 1: That's pretty good for a rookie fourth round pick that

2099
01:51:33,520 --> 01:51:35,360
Speaker 1: you're leaning on a little bit more right now because

2100
01:51:35,360 --> 01:51:38,040
Speaker 1: of John Brown. And to your point about another level

2101
01:51:38,080 --> 01:51:40,879
Speaker 1: that potentially this offense can reach when John Brown returns.

2102
01:51:41,720 --> 01:51:44,080
Speaker 1: Think about all this extra experience in time on the

2103
01:51:44,080 --> 01:51:47,160
Speaker 1: field that Gabriel Davis is getting when he moves back

2104
01:51:47,160 --> 01:51:50,840
Speaker 1: to the fourth receiver. Brian Dabel might be even more

2105
01:51:50,960 --> 01:51:53,959
Speaker 1: inclined to go ten personnel because of all the experience

2106
01:51:54,040 --> 01:51:57,240
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis is getting now. So when John Brown comes back,

2107
01:51:57,280 --> 01:52:00,320
Speaker 1: now your fourth receiver is an even better receiver then

2108
01:52:00,360 --> 01:52:02,960
Speaker 1: he was a month ago because of all the time

2109
01:52:02,960 --> 01:52:05,360
Speaker 1: he's getting on the field. Right, So, now you have

2110
01:52:05,439 --> 01:52:07,800
Speaker 1: John Brown coming back into the fold, who's your number

2111
01:52:07,800 --> 01:52:10,360
Speaker 1: two and now your number four is an even better

2112
01:52:10,400 --> 01:52:12,400
Speaker 1: player than he was five weeks ago because of all

2113
01:52:12,400 --> 01:52:15,519
Speaker 1: the opportunities he's got. And not only good five weeks ago,

2114
01:52:15,600 --> 01:52:20,000
Speaker 1: it's a five week stretch that you've gone four and

2115
01:52:20,080 --> 01:52:24,120
Speaker 1: one in without John Brown, Hail Mary away from being

2116
01:52:24,160 --> 01:52:26,000
Speaker 1: five and oh yeah, six and oh on a run.

2117
01:52:26,040 --> 01:52:30,880
Speaker 1: They're five and one in their last six. Yeah. Yeah,

2118
01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:33,040
Speaker 1: it's a good day to be a Bills fan. Certainly,

2119
01:52:33,120 --> 01:52:35,559
Speaker 1: let's go to the tweet sheet, which we haven't touched

2120
01:52:35,640 --> 01:52:37,879
Speaker 1: upon yet. It's brought to you, as always by Corrigan

2121
01:52:37,920 --> 01:52:41,320
Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official moving company of the Buffalo Bills.

2122
01:52:41,439 --> 01:52:44,960
Speaker 1: How are you feeling following the bills Monday night football

2123
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:49,880
Speaker 1: win over the forty nine Ers, Marty says, great team win.

2124
01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:53,400
Speaker 1: I thought maybe I was over confident going in based

2125
01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:56,280
Speaker 1: on all the national media thought. We clearly won all

2126
01:52:56,320 --> 01:52:59,639
Speaker 1: three phases. The team played physical on defense, and they

2127
01:52:59,680 --> 01:53:03,000
Speaker 1: had no answers for Josh bring on the Steelers and

2128
01:53:03,120 --> 01:53:06,280
Speaker 1: go one to oh next week. So he's probably in

2129
01:53:06,320 --> 01:53:10,479
Speaker 1: that majority there that says I'm pumped and confident bring

2130
01:53:10,479 --> 01:53:12,880
Speaker 1: on the Steelers, which was getting sixty three percent of

2131
01:53:12,920 --> 01:53:18,280
Speaker 1: the vote, looks like it. He's gonna be. I think

2132
01:53:18,280 --> 01:53:21,720
Speaker 1: the question mark was, if there was a question mark

2133
01:53:21,760 --> 01:53:25,040
Speaker 1: going into last night's game, it was will the defense

2134
01:53:25,080 --> 01:53:27,320
Speaker 1: be able to mash at the line of scrimmage with

2135
01:53:27,320 --> 01:53:29,519
Speaker 1: this forty nine ers offensive line? And the answer was

2136
01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:33,840
Speaker 1: a resounding yes. I have to say takeaways were great,

2137
01:53:34,439 --> 01:53:39,599
Speaker 1: third down stops were great. Where the defense convinced me

2138
01:53:40,360 --> 01:53:42,559
Speaker 1: that they were ready to win this game. Take this game,

2139
01:53:42,640 --> 01:53:45,679
Speaker 1: dictate play to the opponent. Was the way they sealed

2140
01:53:45,720 --> 01:53:48,479
Speaker 1: the edges in the run game last night. I mean,

2141
01:53:49,240 --> 01:53:53,639
Speaker 1: kudos to those guys. They were flocking to the edges

2142
01:53:53,880 --> 01:53:57,120
Speaker 1: as soon as the forty nine Ers declared the direction

2143
01:53:57,160 --> 01:54:00,639
Speaker 1: of their run play. There were three, four, five guys

2144
01:54:01,560 --> 01:54:05,080
Speaker 1: just swarming to the line of scrimmage to help seal

2145
01:54:05,120 --> 01:54:09,679
Speaker 1: off that edge and not give any of the speed

2146
01:54:09,800 --> 01:54:14,000
Speaker 1: backs of the forty nine ers an alley in which

2147
01:54:14,040 --> 01:54:17,280
Speaker 1: to get up to top speed. These running backs are

2148
01:54:17,400 --> 01:54:19,800
Speaker 1: quicker than a hiccup. And there were two plays they

2149
01:54:19,840 --> 01:54:22,320
Speaker 1: ran for eighteen yards on one sixteen yards on the other.

2150
01:54:22,360 --> 01:54:24,240
Speaker 1: I think Jeff Wilson had one of them. I think

2151
01:54:24,280 --> 01:54:28,080
Speaker 1: Mostard had the other. One carry for eighteen one carry

2152
01:54:28,120 --> 01:54:30,040
Speaker 1: for sixteen. When they did leak out a little bit

2153
01:54:30,840 --> 01:54:33,839
Speaker 1: and showed you what their speed can do to a defense.

2154
01:54:34,840 --> 01:54:37,280
Speaker 1: That was forty four of the eighty six yards on

2155
01:54:37,320 --> 01:54:39,760
Speaker 1: the ground that they got all night on two plays. Yeah,

2156
01:54:39,760 --> 01:54:42,000
Speaker 1: they had ten sixteen. Was any of you talking about

2157
01:54:42,200 --> 01:54:44,400
Speaker 1: they had? It? Was they two. They have two ways

2158
01:54:44,400 --> 01:54:46,560
Speaker 1: to run the football. They would bring guys across the

2159
01:54:46,600 --> 01:54:49,680
Speaker 1: formation and get a kickout block and run up inside

2160
01:54:49,680 --> 01:54:51,080
Speaker 1: of them. Or they would come off and let the

2161
01:54:51,200 --> 01:54:52,680
Speaker 1: back come out, put his foot in the ground and

2162
01:54:52,680 --> 01:54:55,760
Speaker 1: make a one cut in Yeah, stretch play where they

2163
01:54:55,760 --> 01:54:58,160
Speaker 1: stretched the defense thin and the back picks his own

2164
01:54:58,160 --> 01:55:00,800
Speaker 1: spot wherever it might be. The the one play that

2165
01:55:00,840 --> 01:55:03,040
Speaker 1: I remember, and A. J. Klein was the victim of this.

2166
01:55:03,280 --> 01:55:06,200
Speaker 1: He was on the field with Bam Johnson. Bam Johnson

2167
01:55:06,240 --> 01:55:10,480
Speaker 1: came up the field and the motion and the offensive

2168
01:55:10,520 --> 01:55:13,200
Speaker 1: line moved off to the offenses left, but the play

2169
01:55:13,280 --> 01:55:15,720
Speaker 1: was coming back to the right offensive right, which would

2170
01:55:15,760 --> 01:55:18,600
Speaker 1: be the defensive left. Bam Johnson came up the field

2171
01:55:18,680 --> 01:55:22,680
Speaker 1: and as that gap between Bam Johnson the backside got big,

2172
01:55:23,040 --> 01:55:25,680
Speaker 1: the Bam block, the wamblock came across and got him

2173
01:55:25,680 --> 01:55:27,680
Speaker 1: and A. J. Klein was right where he was supposed

2174
01:55:27,720 --> 01:55:30,160
Speaker 1: to be, but the gap between him and Bam Johnson

2175
01:55:30,200 --> 01:55:33,560
Speaker 1: was so big the running back got by Klein. He

2176
01:55:33,640 --> 01:55:35,760
Speaker 1: had no chance on the play and it made him

2177
01:55:35,760 --> 01:55:39,120
Speaker 1: look bad and he was and like we've been, he's

2178
01:55:39,160 --> 01:55:41,879
Speaker 1: been victimized by criticism over the last month. Bam Johnson's

2179
01:55:41,880 --> 01:55:44,920
Speaker 1: got to squeeze that down. He got the upfield pass

2180
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:47,440
Speaker 1: rush route. A J. Klein looked bad on that play,

2181
01:55:47,480 --> 01:55:49,960
Speaker 1: and it's actually I think Bam Johnson, who was a

2182
01:55:49,960 --> 01:55:52,160
Speaker 1: little unaware, didn't see kind of catch. What he was

2183
01:55:52,200 --> 01:55:54,680
Speaker 1: supposed to do is close down that hole and forced

2184
01:55:54,720 --> 01:55:57,920
Speaker 1: the back to either cut around him to the outside

2185
01:55:58,560 --> 01:56:02,919
Speaker 1: or make the tackle and help AJ Kleine to squeeze

2186
01:56:02,920 --> 01:56:04,520
Speaker 1: that down so there's no room for that back to

2187
01:56:04,520 --> 01:56:06,360
Speaker 1: fit through there. That was one of those big plays

2188
01:56:06,360 --> 01:56:08,920
Speaker 1: that got through and that was just and to their credit,

2189
01:56:08,920 --> 01:56:11,880
Speaker 1: I mean, the Niners are no slouch and they got

2190
01:56:11,880 --> 01:56:14,360
Speaker 1: that play and they executed it perfectly. But that's what

2191
01:56:14,440 --> 01:56:16,840
Speaker 1: happened the one on one of those big run plays

2192
01:56:16,840 --> 01:56:19,720
Speaker 1: you said, and I was I gotta I was shocked

2193
01:56:20,120 --> 01:56:22,360
Speaker 1: at the niners inability to run the football any better

2194
01:56:22,360 --> 01:56:24,400
Speaker 1: than they did. They really sealed the end. I think

2195
01:56:24,440 --> 01:56:26,760
Speaker 1: that was a surprise for them. That was done. Keep

2196
01:56:26,880 --> 01:56:31,120
Speaker 1: this in mind, that was done with two defensive ends

2197
01:56:31,640 --> 01:56:37,480
Speaker 1: in aj Epinessa and um Bam Johnson. That for the

2198
01:56:37,520 --> 01:56:40,080
Speaker 1: most part they were in the rotation. They were in

2199
01:56:40,120 --> 01:56:42,920
Speaker 1: the rotation. I mean, Trent Murphy isn't healthy and active,

2200
01:56:43,200 --> 01:56:45,400
Speaker 1: and that's a guy that has a history of sealing

2201
01:56:45,400 --> 01:56:47,600
Speaker 1: the edge well. So they put their faith in two

2202
01:56:47,680 --> 01:56:50,640
Speaker 1: very young players to handle that job, and they did

2203
01:56:50,680 --> 01:56:53,120
Speaker 1: it for the most part. I'm not saying they were perfect,

2204
01:56:53,560 --> 01:56:55,560
Speaker 1: but they handled it for the most part. The other

2205
01:56:55,600 --> 01:56:57,560
Speaker 1: thing that surprised me is you and I talked a

2206
01:56:57,560 --> 01:57:00,960
Speaker 1: lot on the show all week and even yesterday about

2207
01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:05,160
Speaker 1: the distinct possibility that the Bills defense would play more

2208
01:57:05,280 --> 01:57:08,320
Speaker 1: base personnel with three linebackers to combat that run game.

2209
01:57:08,320 --> 01:57:10,920
Speaker 1: He thought that that didn't happen either were Tarn Johnson

2210
01:57:10,960 --> 01:57:13,440
Speaker 1: played the entire game. I don't think he came off

2211
01:57:13,440 --> 01:57:18,360
Speaker 1: the field. Taren Johnson, let me see sixty plays. He

2212
01:57:18,440 --> 01:57:20,760
Speaker 1: barely came off the field, and he played a good game.

2213
01:57:20,800 --> 01:57:24,400
Speaker 1: I thought, Um, there's another guy that you know his

2214
01:57:24,560 --> 01:57:28,000
Speaker 1: game wasn't super consistent in the first half of the season.

2215
01:57:28,200 --> 01:57:30,960
Speaker 1: There's another guy whose game is rounding into form here

2216
01:57:30,960 --> 01:57:32,520
Speaker 1: in the second half of the year. So this you

2217
01:57:32,520 --> 01:57:35,560
Speaker 1: you want a signal that the Bills are feeling better

2218
01:57:35,600 --> 01:57:39,760
Speaker 1: and better about their defense, that's it. They came in

2219
01:57:39,800 --> 01:57:42,680
Speaker 1: against a run game of the Niners, that is that

2220
01:57:43,040 --> 01:57:47,000
Speaker 1: facilitates their entire offense off their running game, the zone read,

2221
01:57:47,080 --> 01:57:49,720
Speaker 1: the stretch plays and the and the power runs on

2222
01:57:49,720 --> 01:57:52,440
Speaker 1: the and the band blocks and wham blocks and things

2223
01:57:52,440 --> 01:57:54,800
Speaker 1: like the trap blocks and things like that. They have

2224
01:57:54,920 --> 01:57:57,280
Speaker 1: both those at their disposal. They run their entire offense

2225
01:57:57,320 --> 01:58:00,560
Speaker 1: off play action that kind of thing. And the Bills

2226
01:58:00,560 --> 01:58:02,560
Speaker 1: didn't flinch. They went in there and played their nickel

2227
01:58:03,320 --> 01:58:05,800
Speaker 1: like their base defense. They didn't try to match up

2228
01:58:06,200 --> 01:58:08,720
Speaker 1: Let's body up and they said, no, our guys can

2229
01:58:08,760 --> 01:58:12,600
Speaker 1: do it, and man they did. I think I think

2230
01:58:12,640 --> 01:58:15,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's got to be surprised by that as well.

2231
01:58:15,200 --> 01:58:18,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they they felt that the Bills would

2232
01:58:18,200 --> 01:58:23,000
Speaker 1: do that, particularly when they activated Milano. Yeah, I thought

2233
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:27,320
Speaker 1: they'd had Milanoline and Tremaine Edmonds on the field the

2234
01:58:27,360 --> 01:58:29,160
Speaker 1: same time. But if you look at it, the Bills

2235
01:58:29,240 --> 01:58:35,160
Speaker 1: play almost ninety percent nickel of their defensive snaps this season.

2236
01:58:35,600 --> 01:58:39,600
Speaker 1: Ninety percent. That's almost a twenty percent increase from last year.

2237
01:58:39,680 --> 01:58:43,040
Speaker 1: And a lot of and a lot of the percentages

2238
01:58:43,040 --> 01:58:45,000
Speaker 1: out of that ten percent that's left over. A lot

2239
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:47,240
Speaker 1: of that's like short yardage, goal line stuff where you're

2240
01:58:47,240 --> 01:58:49,480
Speaker 1: not gonna you know, you got a body up on

2241
01:58:49,520 --> 01:58:51,680
Speaker 1: a quarterback sneak or that like the fourth and one

2242
01:58:51,720 --> 01:58:53,600
Speaker 1: on that first drive of the Niners. They got down

2243
01:58:53,600 --> 01:58:56,680
Speaker 1: and they stopped. That's the kind of ten percent other

2244
01:58:56,720 --> 01:59:01,800
Speaker 1: snaps you're talking about. Forty of the sixty one snaps.

2245
01:59:02,600 --> 01:59:05,760
Speaker 1: AJ and Darryl Johnson combined for forty snaps on defense

2246
01:59:06,280 --> 01:59:08,520
Speaker 1: last night out of the sixty one that the defense

2247
01:59:08,520 --> 01:59:11,440
Speaker 1: played in total. They're counting on those kids. Yeah, they're

2248
01:59:11,440 --> 01:59:13,880
Speaker 1: counting on tell you what, they trust them. A. Jpanez

2249
01:59:13,960 --> 01:59:16,760
Speaker 1: is coming along. He's playing a lot better. He's showing

2250
01:59:16,880 --> 01:59:19,080
Speaker 1: I think because he's lighter than he was in college.

2251
01:59:19,120 --> 01:59:21,440
Speaker 1: He moves better, no question about it. He's ranging a

2252
01:59:21,440 --> 01:59:24,520
Speaker 1: little side to side better. And of course, Bam Johnson,

2253
01:59:24,520 --> 01:59:27,080
Speaker 1: we've liked him ever since his first preseason impressed. Were

2254
01:59:27,080 --> 01:59:30,360
Speaker 1: you on his coverage play on punk how about that

2255
01:59:30,600 --> 01:59:33,280
Speaker 1: or what was it a kickoff? I think yes? He

2256
01:59:33,280 --> 01:59:36,920
Speaker 1: he kickoffs first man down, yeah, and you know another

2257
01:59:36,960 --> 01:59:40,760
Speaker 1: person down. He tackled the running back for eleven yard

2258
01:59:40,840 --> 01:59:43,360
Speaker 1: loss on a sweet play where he got penetration. Yes,

2259
01:59:43,520 --> 01:59:46,680
Speaker 1: inside the block, got up the field and got two

2260
01:59:46,720 --> 01:59:49,040
Speaker 1: hands on the running back and wouldn't let go and

2261
01:59:49,200 --> 01:59:51,600
Speaker 1: forced into a big tackle for loss. They had a

2262
01:59:51,640 --> 01:59:53,920
Speaker 1: receiver on him. What the heck are they doing with that? Well,

2263
01:59:53,920 --> 01:59:56,360
Speaker 1: they thought the bat had to speed to get outside

2264
01:59:56,360 --> 01:59:58,720
Speaker 1: of him. You know that that's a it's a risk,

2265
01:59:58,800 --> 02:00:01,200
Speaker 1: no question. But once you get out there, there's nobody there,

2266
02:00:01,200 --> 02:00:02,840
Speaker 1: it's a big play and it's you know, you win

2267
02:00:02,960 --> 02:00:04,920
Speaker 1: or lose, and bam. Johnson won that play for the

2268
02:00:04,960 --> 02:00:08,640
Speaker 1: Bills defense got the meat hooks in and man, he

2269
02:00:08,680 --> 02:00:11,440
Speaker 1: didn't let go. That was a great play by him.

2283

2284
02:01:07,280 --> 02:01:09,520
Speaker 1: Let's go Bills. It's sounding he's given a locker room

2285
02:01:09,560 --> 02:01:12,360
Speaker 1: speech there. Yeah, so will Newt rock me in that.

2286
02:01:13,440 --> 02:01:15,080
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna give you the next one, Steve,

2287
02:01:15,160 --> 02:01:19,640
Speaker 1: because I know you were were shocked to see the

2288
02:01:19,800 --> 02:01:25,400
Speaker 1: unbridled enthusiasm of Tiffany. Yes, some of our listeners aren't

2289
02:01:25,480 --> 02:01:29,120
Speaker 1: noticed that we read Tiffany's tweets quite often. She's the

2290
02:01:29,200 --> 02:01:32,600
Speaker 1: regular contributors, regular contributor on the tweets she comes out.

2291
02:01:32,680 --> 02:01:35,360
Speaker 1: She's always the voice of reason and well thought out

2292
02:01:35,360 --> 02:01:38,720
Speaker 1: and out the window here on Tuesday, Tiffany says, we

2293
02:01:38,840 --> 02:01:42,280
Speaker 1: have a full fledged championship team on our hands. Who

2294
02:01:42,640 --> 02:01:44,839
Speaker 1: Josh showed the rest of the league what we already

2295
02:01:44,880 --> 02:01:49,400
Speaker 1: knew that he is elite. The way he's playing, we

2296
02:01:49,520 --> 02:01:52,600
Speaker 1: can hang with any team. Winning it all is on

2297
02:01:52,640 --> 02:01:56,680
Speaker 1: the table. Tiffany, going off the board. Tiffany didn't even

2298
02:01:56,720 --> 02:02:03,160
Speaker 1: put the bottle down. She she is off the board.

2299
02:02:03,200 --> 02:02:05,920
Speaker 1: He's holding the bottle by the neck and talking with

2300
02:02:07,600 --> 02:02:10,880
Speaker 1: Twitter while making gestures with the bottle. One thumb on

2301
02:02:10,920 --> 02:02:15,920
Speaker 1: her phone. Full flat champions champ tame you dang it.

2302
02:02:16,480 --> 02:02:19,400
Speaker 1: This is that kind of day. And it's been a

2303
02:02:19,400 --> 02:02:22,840
Speaker 1: while waiting. It all is on that table, and don't

2304
02:02:22,880 --> 02:02:30,560
Speaker 1: you forget it. We're going places you gotta love it from. Hey, look,

2305
02:02:30,640 --> 02:02:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this. Okay, I'm just gonna say this.

2306
02:02:34,200 --> 02:02:37,160
Speaker 1: Just let it all hang out today. Today is your day.

2307
02:02:37,280 --> 02:02:40,360
Speaker 1: You know, the players and coaches do the twenty four

2308
02:02:40,400 --> 02:02:43,240
Speaker 1: hour rule, do the same thing. Man, Just let it

2309
02:02:43,280 --> 02:02:46,680
Speaker 1: all hang out today. It's been a long time since

2310
02:02:46,720 --> 02:02:49,600
Speaker 1: Bills fans have been able to feel this good about

2311
02:02:49,640 --> 02:02:53,720
Speaker 1: their football team. There's legitimate reasons to feel that way.

2312
02:02:54,080 --> 02:02:58,800
Speaker 1: Don't let anybody tell you you cannot gush today about

2313
02:02:58,840 --> 02:03:01,800
Speaker 1: this football because let's let's we've all been we who

2314
02:03:01,840 --> 02:03:03,760
Speaker 1: have followed this team for a long I've been following

2315
02:03:03,760 --> 02:03:06,560
Speaker 1: this team since nineteen eighty six, closely and with a

2316
02:03:06,600 --> 02:03:08,840
Speaker 1: lot of passion and a lot of for a lot

2317
02:03:08,840 --> 02:03:13,440
Speaker 1: of that time, with skin in the game. How many

2318
02:03:13,480 --> 02:03:16,400
Speaker 1: how much of a relief, and you feel like it's

2319
02:03:16,440 --> 02:03:18,480
Speaker 1: better to be doing this and trying to pump the

2320
02:03:18,480 --> 02:03:21,440
Speaker 1: brakes on our own emotions than deciding who we're gonna

2321
02:03:21,480 --> 02:03:23,800
Speaker 1: pick in the draft. We can pump the brakes on Thursday,

2322
02:03:23,840 --> 02:03:25,880
Speaker 1: Friday and Saturday when we're trying to have a little

2323
02:03:25,880 --> 02:03:29,720
Speaker 1: bit more respect for this Steelers team. Let it go today.

2324
02:03:29,960 --> 02:03:32,040
Speaker 1: Let it go, I mean, because there's been like I

2325
02:03:32,080 --> 02:03:34,560
Speaker 1: just said, there's been too many years where we're thinking

2326
02:03:34,560 --> 02:03:36,200
Speaker 1: about who we're gonna pick in the draft. We're starting

2327
02:03:36,200 --> 02:03:38,560
Speaker 1: to watch college football for that reason. We're so far

2328
02:03:38,680 --> 02:03:43,600
Speaker 1: from that today. So I get it. This feels really

2329
02:03:43,600 --> 02:03:48,160
Speaker 1: good and and you know what, there's really good reason

2330
02:03:48,160 --> 02:03:51,120
Speaker 1: to feel like all of this. Oh, it's legitimate, it's legit.

2331
02:03:51,640 --> 02:03:54,640
Speaker 1: This is a really good football team and they played

2332
02:03:54,920 --> 02:03:59,560
Speaker 1: really well last night and everybody saw it, and it's

2333
02:03:59,600 --> 02:04:01,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot of reason for Bills fans around the

2334
02:04:01,640 --> 02:04:04,040
Speaker 1: country worldwide to kind of, you know, pump their beat

2335
02:04:04,040 --> 02:04:06,879
Speaker 1: their chests this morning. Yeah, stick your chest out today

2336
02:04:07,040 --> 02:04:09,800
Speaker 1: on social media or wherever else. Just let it all

2337
02:04:09,840 --> 02:04:13,400
Speaker 1: hang out. You earned that day today from Rachel. It's

2338
02:04:13,440 --> 02:04:16,960
Speaker 1: possible we win out, especially with this suddenly healthy lineup.

2339
02:04:17,160 --> 02:04:19,160
Speaker 1: It's also possible we lose at least two of the

2340
02:04:19,200 --> 02:04:22,160
Speaker 1: next four and stumble to the playoffs. We can't take

2341
02:04:22,200 --> 02:04:24,520
Speaker 1: the foot off the gas, but there are a lot

2342
02:04:24,600 --> 02:04:27,720
Speaker 1: of reasons to be excited about the Bills right now.

2343
02:04:28,200 --> 02:04:31,760
Speaker 1: It's a little more measured approach than Tiffany Shelley. She's

2344
02:04:31,760 --> 02:04:34,880
Speaker 1: got a point because no, no, I agree at this point.

2345
02:04:34,960 --> 02:04:39,480
Speaker 1: Last year, Yeah, the Bill stumbled last year, lost their

2346
02:04:39,560 --> 02:04:41,520
Speaker 1: last three of their last four. Last year, they lost

2347
02:04:41,520 --> 02:04:44,760
Speaker 1: to the Ravens. In Week fourteen, they beat the Steelers,

2348
02:04:44,720 --> 02:04:48,560
Speaker 1: whoever that's that clinched. Then they lost to the Patriots

2349
02:04:48,600 --> 02:04:50,760
Speaker 1: seventeen to twenty four, and they lost to the Jets

2350
02:04:50,760 --> 02:04:53,800
Speaker 1: six to thirteen. They stumbled into the playoffs last year.

2351
02:04:55,040 --> 02:04:58,080
Speaker 1: Now Week seventeen, I get it, I mean, but they

2352
02:04:58,080 --> 02:04:59,880
Speaker 1: would even if they beat the Jets, if they play

2353
02:05:00,040 --> 02:05:01,760
Speaker 1: anybody in that Jets team and they win it, there's

2354
02:05:01,760 --> 02:05:05,360
Speaker 1: still two and two headed into the playoffs last year.

2355
02:05:05,480 --> 02:05:08,760
Speaker 1: So there is reason to think, Okay, let's not repeat

2356
02:05:08,840 --> 02:05:11,960
Speaker 1: any mistakes or miscues that we might have done last

2357
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:15,800
Speaker 1: year with these last four games from Jeremy. The Steelers

2358
02:05:15,880 --> 02:05:19,320
Speaker 1: record as a mask to what that team is yesterday's

2359
02:05:19,360 --> 02:05:22,280
Speaker 1: game was a perfect indicator of that. At this point,

2360
02:05:22,560 --> 02:05:25,600
Speaker 1: I fear the Browns more than I do the Steelers. Yes,

2361
02:05:25,680 --> 02:05:29,040
Speaker 1: that's not a typo. I can almost see the division

2362
02:05:29,080 --> 02:05:34,800
Speaker 1: banner hanging now now. As Steve mentioned, the Dolphins did

2363
02:05:34,880 --> 02:05:38,800
Speaker 1: keep pace, but their schedule gets considerably more difficult moving forward. Here.

2364
02:05:39,240 --> 02:05:42,840
Speaker 1: They have the Chiefs, they have the Patriots. Both of

2365
02:05:42,840 --> 02:05:45,800
Speaker 1: those games are at home, though they have the Raiders

2366
02:05:45,840 --> 02:05:47,600
Speaker 1: on the road and then the Bills on the road

2367
02:05:47,640 --> 02:05:50,520
Speaker 1: to close it out. They can stay within a game

2368
02:05:50,520 --> 02:05:53,040
Speaker 1: of the Bills through these next couple of weeks, then

2369
02:05:53,240 --> 02:05:56,480
Speaker 1: color me impressed. I will be impressed at that point. Absolutely.

2370
02:05:56,640 --> 02:06:00,280
Speaker 1: Now there's are and you know they played to a

2371
02:06:00,360 --> 02:06:03,360
Speaker 1: play this last weekend. He did right so, and they

2372
02:06:03,760 --> 02:06:08,160
Speaker 1: scored nineteen point in their last three games. They've scored thirteen,

2373
02:06:08,360 --> 02:06:11,480
Speaker 1: twenty and nineteen. They're winning games a lot of the

2374
02:06:11,520 --> 02:06:14,920
Speaker 1: way the Bills won games last year. Defense holding a minute,

2375
02:06:15,280 --> 02:06:19,080
Speaker 1: it's solid special teams, and the offense doing just enough

2376
02:06:19,120 --> 02:06:22,560
Speaker 1: to squeak by with victories with a quarterback that's learning

2377
02:06:22,600 --> 02:06:25,320
Speaker 1: on the job. That's that's really their formula right now,

2378
02:06:25,320 --> 02:06:27,680
Speaker 1: which isn't It's not all that different from what the

2379
02:06:27,680 --> 02:06:29,800
Speaker 1: Bills did last year. They Bills won ten games doing

2380
02:06:29,800 --> 02:06:32,400
Speaker 1: that first year, and the Miami Dolphins are in a

2381
02:06:32,480 --> 02:06:36,160
Speaker 1: position now where you know they could win ten games,

2382
02:06:36,400 --> 02:06:37,720
Speaker 1: they go two and two. The rest of the way,

2383
02:06:37,760 --> 02:06:41,280
Speaker 1: they're ten and six. Yeah, so you know, tip your

2384
02:06:41,280 --> 02:06:44,000
Speaker 1: hats to them. They're doing it with what they got,

2385
02:06:44,040 --> 02:06:46,839
Speaker 1: and they got into a tussle with the Cincinnati Bengals

2386
02:06:46,840 --> 02:06:51,600
Speaker 1: this last weekend and won it. They're getting it done

2387
02:06:51,600 --> 02:06:52,720
Speaker 1: the way you have to get it done with the

2388
02:06:52,720 --> 02:06:54,760
Speaker 1: people you have, and that's you know, that's a sign

2389
02:06:54,760 --> 02:06:57,280
Speaker 1: of a good coaching staff. And Brian Floors, as we've

2390
02:06:57,280 --> 02:06:58,800
Speaker 1: talked about here a number of times, we got a

2391
02:06:58,840 --> 02:07:02,000
Speaker 1: lot of respect for those guys down there. So I

2392
02:07:02,000 --> 02:07:04,360
Speaker 1: think it's good that, you know, there's no reason for

2393
02:07:04,400 --> 02:07:06,160
Speaker 1: the Bills to take their foot off the gas. Here

2394
02:07:06,400 --> 02:07:09,720
Speaker 1: they go ten and six. Brian Flores I think could

2395
02:07:09,720 --> 02:07:13,240
Speaker 1: be in the driver's seat for Coach of the Year consideration,

2396
02:07:13,640 --> 02:07:18,040
Speaker 1: probably him, Kevin Stefanski in Cleveland, right and I'm sure

2397
02:07:18,080 --> 02:07:20,120
Speaker 1: there's other candidates that I'm not even right now, but

2398
02:07:20,160 --> 02:07:23,160
Speaker 1: even Mike Tomlin. Still just because they lost a game,

2399
02:07:23,200 --> 02:07:25,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta think they're they're eleven and one. Yeah,

2400
02:07:26,520 --> 02:07:28,400
Speaker 1: and you read and you read, and the Chiefs are

2401
02:07:28,400 --> 02:07:30,960
Speaker 1: always in that conversation with with what they're doing. And

2402
02:07:31,080 --> 02:07:34,400
Speaker 1: there are others around. There is Frank and Indy. I mean, yeah,

2403
02:07:34,520 --> 02:07:36,480
Speaker 1: put together a nice season. To win over the Titans

2404
02:07:36,600 --> 02:07:39,440
Speaker 1: was a big one. Um. So yeah, if you gotta

2405
02:07:39,440 --> 02:07:41,920
Speaker 1: look at it, look at the job Sean Payton is

2406
02:07:41,960 --> 02:07:46,840
Speaker 1: doing with Tayson Hill. Yeah, so it is. It is

2407
02:07:46,880 --> 02:07:52,680
Speaker 1: a crowded field of nine in a row, I'll tell

2408
02:07:52,680 --> 02:07:54,920
Speaker 1: you right now. They've won a lot of games in

2409
02:07:54,960 --> 02:07:58,160
Speaker 1: a row. They haven't lost in a while once some overtime. Yes,

2410
02:07:58,320 --> 02:08:01,400
Speaker 1: they have won nine in a row. That's the quietest

2411
02:08:01,480 --> 02:08:04,080
Speaker 1: nine game winning streak I've ever seen. Two of those

2412
02:08:04,120 --> 02:08:06,640
Speaker 1: wins were in overtime. How is that not headline news?

2413
02:08:07,240 --> 02:08:08,960
Speaker 1: And what is it the last think it's headline news

2414
02:08:09,000 --> 02:08:11,840
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. The last three now with Hill right

2415
02:08:12,160 --> 02:08:14,879
Speaker 1: at quarterbacks, I think, yes, they beat three games Atlanta,

2416
02:08:14,960 --> 02:08:18,880
Speaker 1: Denver and Atlanta again with Taysom Hill. Yeah. From Alan

2417
02:08:18,960 --> 02:08:20,880
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet, I'm still in the game by

2418
02:08:20,960 --> 02:08:23,760
Speaker 1: game category. Beating the Steelers would be a start. But

2419
02:08:23,920 --> 02:08:29,000
Speaker 1: don't sleep on New England. There's that scar tissue against Steve,

2420
02:08:29,880 --> 02:08:32,200
Speaker 1: it's for real, they are playing better and you know,

2421
02:08:32,320 --> 02:08:34,440
Speaker 1: forty five nothing, I'll get your attention even against the

2422
02:08:34,480 --> 02:08:36,720
Speaker 1: three and nine team like the Chargers. That's what the

2423
02:08:36,920 --> 02:08:41,720
Speaker 1: Patriots did last week, right, And I think, but I think, yeah,

2424
02:08:41,760 --> 02:08:43,600
Speaker 1: there's always going to be that scar tissue until it's

2425
02:08:43,640 --> 02:08:45,600
Speaker 1: not there. I mean, it will always do it and

2426
02:08:45,800 --> 02:08:48,400
Speaker 1: until the division banner goes out to say this, until

2427
02:08:48,400 --> 02:08:52,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots becomes somebody other than who they are, right right,

2428
02:08:52,960 --> 02:08:56,080
Speaker 1: eliminated from playoff contention with a different coach or whatever.

2429
02:08:56,200 --> 02:08:58,840
Speaker 1: But even if they're limited from playoff contention, nobody's going

2430
02:08:58,920 --> 02:09:00,640
Speaker 1: to go in and beat them forty five to nothing

2431
02:09:00,720 --> 02:09:04,800
Speaker 1: like they beat the Chargers. Well, think about this, Steve.

2432
02:09:06,520 --> 02:09:10,960
Speaker 1: Just three short weeks ago, the San Francisco forty nine

2433
02:09:11,040 --> 02:09:13,720
Speaker 1: Ers beat New England in their place thirty three to six.

2434
02:09:14,320 --> 02:09:16,960
Speaker 1: They wiped the floor with the Patriots. And now here

2435
02:09:17,000 --> 02:09:19,120
Speaker 1: they are two weeks later and they just got mopped

2436
02:09:19,200 --> 02:09:24,640
Speaker 1: up by the Bills. This league that doesn't this league

2437
02:09:24,840 --> 02:09:27,680
Speaker 1: is cuckoo for cocoa puffs. Man. It is one week

2438
02:09:27,720 --> 02:09:29,280
Speaker 1: to the next, you don't know what's going to happen,

2439
02:09:29,560 --> 02:09:32,040
Speaker 1: which is partly what makes it so damn entertaining. Yeah,

2440
02:09:32,080 --> 02:09:35,240
Speaker 1: it is um from Jack. I'm fired up. I was

2441
02:09:35,320 --> 02:09:37,560
Speaker 1: nervous about last night before the game, but after we

2442
02:09:37,680 --> 02:09:39,960
Speaker 1: handled the forty nine Ers and watching the Steelers lose

2443
02:09:40,240 --> 02:09:42,600
Speaker 1: and look underwhelming again, I think we can take them

2444
02:09:42,800 --> 02:09:45,440
Speaker 1: and pull within a game of second place in the AFC.

2445
02:09:45,680 --> 02:09:51,160
Speaker 1: Let's go. Absolutely, it's out there. It is, it's it's

2446
02:09:51,320 --> 02:09:57,640
Speaker 1: it's it's within arms reach. Now. Well no, yeah, within

2447
02:09:57,800 --> 02:10:00,240
Speaker 1: arms reach, you're winning. You win this week, you're game

2448
02:10:00,320 --> 02:10:04,520
Speaker 1: back right right? But the chief the Chiefs have gotten

2449
02:10:04,560 --> 02:10:10,760
Speaker 1: How about this? Are we just hear me out? Are

2450
02:10:10,840 --> 02:10:15,840
Speaker 1: we rooting for the Chiefs to lose to Miami this week? No,

2451
02:10:16,360 --> 02:10:19,800
Speaker 1: because the first goal is still to win the division.

2452
02:10:20,640 --> 02:10:22,840
Speaker 1: You win the division, you host a playoff game, no

2453
02:10:22,960 --> 02:10:27,040
Speaker 1: matter what. That's job number one. So I think, well,

2454
02:10:27,120 --> 02:10:31,200
Speaker 1: let's in our hands to do that. Correct. We don't

2455
02:10:31,240 --> 02:10:34,880
Speaker 1: need help from the Dolphins for the division? You mean

2456
02:10:34,920 --> 02:10:36,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. You don't need help from the Chiefs. No,

2457
02:10:36,640 --> 02:10:38,360
Speaker 1: we don't need help. Yes, that's right. We don't need

2458
02:10:38,440 --> 02:10:41,160
Speaker 1: help from the Dolphins. By losing, it doesn't matter who.

2459
02:10:41,320 --> 02:10:43,120
Speaker 1: We don't need for help from anybody to win the division.

2460
02:10:43,280 --> 02:10:45,280
Speaker 1: What we could use some help with a somebody knock

2461
02:10:45,320 --> 02:10:48,280
Speaker 1: on the Chiefs off and helping us when we knocked

2462
02:10:48,320 --> 02:10:49,960
Speaker 1: the Steelers out. I don't know if I'm signing up

2463
02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:51,880
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins to do that for us, though you

2464
02:10:52,000 --> 02:10:54,080
Speaker 1: got the Saints. I want to give me the division.

2465
02:10:54,880 --> 02:10:57,280
Speaker 1: It's like it's like bird in the hand versus two

2466
02:10:57,320 --> 02:10:59,720
Speaker 1: in the bush. The division is the bird in the

2467
02:10:59,760 --> 02:11:02,120
Speaker 1: hand and the two in the bush or Pittsburgh in

2468
02:11:02,200 --> 02:11:06,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City. So I'm let me take care of my

2469
02:11:06,400 --> 02:11:09,320
Speaker 1: division business first, all right, then I'll worry about chasing

2470
02:11:09,360 --> 02:11:12,160
Speaker 1: those other two down. So kind of you. So knock

2471
02:11:12,240 --> 02:11:16,600
Speaker 1: Miami down a peg here, Yeah, I get it. Yeah,

2472
02:11:17,080 --> 02:11:19,040
Speaker 1: break time for us. When we come back, it'll be

2473
02:11:19,120 --> 02:11:22,720
Speaker 1: time for what we have learned from today's show. Banner

2474
02:11:22,800 --> 02:11:27,240
Speaker 1: show Man, full of energy, full of excitement. Bills are

2475
02:11:27,280 --> 02:11:31,640
Speaker 1: going places and we're all here to watch it. Unbelievable

2476
02:11:31,680 --> 02:11:36,040
Speaker 1: on TV. Well, yeah, true, back in a moment here

2477
02:11:36,040 --> 02:11:38,680
Speaker 1: to wrap things up on A Bill's Victory Tuesday one,

2478
02:11:38,760 --> 02:11:41,160
Speaker 1: Bill's Live presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's

2479
02:11:41,240 --> 02:12:01,120
Speaker 1: Radio nine four. What have we learned? Brought you buy Skyworks,

2480
02:12:01,120 --> 02:12:05,640
Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills

2481
02:12:06,440 --> 02:12:09,240
Speaker 1: at Kyle Brandt making his weekly visit here on our

2482
02:12:09,280 --> 02:12:11,560
Speaker 1: Tuesday edition of the show, as he does every week

2483
02:12:12,240 --> 02:12:17,080
Speaker 1: during football season, and he said back in August this

2484
02:12:17,200 --> 02:12:19,480
Speaker 1: team was going to be twelve and four, so we

2485
02:12:19,560 --> 02:12:22,880
Speaker 1: asked for an update on where he thinks his prediction

2486
02:12:23,000 --> 02:12:26,640
Speaker 1: on the Bills stands. We have to keep it a

2487
02:12:26,760 --> 02:12:30,040
Speaker 1: little quiet today around my house, not because my children

2488
02:12:30,080 --> 02:12:33,320
Speaker 1: are upstairs homescoring, but because we are rocking the a

2489
02:12:33,440 --> 02:12:36,880
Speaker 1: FC East to sleep like they're a little baby. Colt

2490
02:12:36,960 --> 02:12:43,680
Speaker 1: Beasley Sweet Dreams nine nights and give you your blankie

2491
02:12:43,880 --> 02:12:47,640
Speaker 1: in your white noise machine and see you later. Because

2492
02:12:47,680 --> 02:12:49,720
Speaker 1: the Bills are taking this thing in. Maybe I sold

2493
02:12:49,800 --> 02:12:53,480
Speaker 1: them short at twelve and form maybe sold him short.

2494
02:12:53,760 --> 02:12:56,120
Speaker 1: He thinks thirteen and three is in the offing. Well,

2495
02:12:56,160 --> 02:12:58,240
Speaker 1: they looked like it last night, no question about it. Now.

2496
02:12:58,280 --> 02:13:00,240
Speaker 1: The Steelers are a different animal in the same go

2497
02:13:00,320 --> 02:13:02,280
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Both good teams, but they're different and

2498
02:13:02,320 --> 02:13:05,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a matchup problem. The Steelers can bring

2499
02:13:05,920 --> 02:13:09,360
Speaker 1: much more pressure on a much more consistent basis than

2500
02:13:09,480 --> 02:13:12,760
Speaker 1: the Niners could do. We'll see if the Bills have

2501
02:13:12,800 --> 02:13:16,720
Speaker 1: an answer for it. And they're another team that can

2502
02:13:16,840 --> 02:13:20,240
Speaker 1: legitimately go four wide. Yeah, and every one of them

2503
02:13:20,480 --> 02:13:24,000
Speaker 1: is a different kind of receiver. Chase Claypool is big,

2504
02:13:24,360 --> 02:13:28,919
Speaker 1: a man child. I mean he looks like a condor

2505
02:13:29,000 --> 02:13:31,960
Speaker 1: out there with arms that go on for days. And

2506
02:13:32,160 --> 02:13:35,520
Speaker 1: he's a ridiculous athlete with four four two speed, I

2507
02:13:35,560 --> 02:13:37,480
Speaker 1: can out jump anybody for the football. Then you have

2508
02:13:37,640 --> 02:13:41,680
Speaker 1: Deonta Johnson, who is a jitterbug player who is as

2509
02:13:41,760 --> 02:13:44,080
Speaker 1: fast as Isaiah McKenzie, but a little bit taller and

2510
02:13:44,080 --> 02:13:48,240
Speaker 1: a little bit longer. Then you have James Washington, beefy

2511
02:13:48,440 --> 02:13:52,440
Speaker 1: wall off kind of receiver. I mean they go four

2512
02:13:52,520 --> 02:13:56,000
Speaker 1: deep there, comparable to the Bills when they have John Brown. Yeah.

2513
02:13:56,000 --> 02:13:57,720
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna Yeah, it's gonna be fun week.

2514
02:13:57,760 --> 02:14:00,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna get We're gonna dive into the Steeler Yeah.

2515
02:14:00,560 --> 02:14:03,840
Speaker 1: We'll have Bob Labriola from Steelers dot Com, veteran reporter

2516
02:14:03,920 --> 02:14:06,840
Speaker 1: covering that team on with us tomorrow. Who else we

2517
02:14:06,920 --> 02:14:11,600
Speaker 1: got Mike Robinson, that's right from NFL Network. Thank you, Jay,

2518
02:14:11,720 --> 02:14:12,560
Speaker 1: We'll see you tomorrow.
