00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Alright, welcome back to the Buffalo Red Podcast.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,700
We are recording January 19th, coming to you on Friday night, and looking at a divisional

3
00:00:13,700 --> 00:00:21,160
matchup in Buffalo at Highmark Stadium with the heated Kansas City Chiefs, who have not

4
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:28,160
traveled to Highmark Stadium since the COVID year 2020, and they appeared there with no

5
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:33,720
fans in the stands and in that game, Clyde Edwards-Eleir ran for over 100 yards.

6
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:40,880
I think Bill's mafia is itching to see their first ever Allen Mahomes matchup in person,

7
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,840
live, and in the snow and cold of Orchard Park.

8
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,360
What do you think of that, Dan?

9
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,280
Let's get the people ready.

10
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,480
JJ, the stakes could not be higher for this game.

11
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:57,800
I don't think there's enough words in the English language and enough descriptors to

12
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:04,600
properly evaluate how Bill's mafia is feeling right now, but hyped, I think, is the absolute

13
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,320
of pitamy of where this fan base is at.

14
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:11,440
We have been building it feels like to this moment, and if the bills were ever going to

15
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:16,440
go on a Super Bowl run, we have all probably envisioned it in this way, where we had to

16
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:23,440
go through Patrick Mahomes, slay that dragon, send the grim reaper to bed, on our way to

17
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,840
a Super Bowl, and we have here our opportunity.

18
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,320
The fan base is jacked.

19
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:33,960
JJ, the way this team is talking, they seem absolutely ready to meet this challenge.

20
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:38,080
I could not be more excited for Sunday.

21
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,440
Excited and just terrified.

22
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,360
I think that this this match because this is it, right?

23
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:49,320
Like this is that moment, the defining moment of the season in which this Buffalo Bill's

24
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,760
team is the same old Ken McDermott get over the hump is Stefan Diggs unhappy Ken Josh

25
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,600
Allen ever be a championship quarterback.

26
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,200
All those questions are piling up like the snow drifts and Buffalo waiting for this match

27
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,080
up to answer them.

28
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,080
And this is it, right?

29
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,960
I think that entering the season, entering every season since the kind of quote unquote

30
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,600
Super Bowl window has opened has been championship or bust.

31
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,880
But I think truly to call this season a success, the bills cannot exit in the divisional around

32
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,280
for a third straight year.

33
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,760
No, I think that is 100% correct.

34
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:33,720
And we have talked about this with the context of McDermott as the head coach of this team,

35
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,000
usually at the forefront.

36
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,840
If this team, which as it began this run in that COVID year of 2020 into the postseason

37
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:48,640
of 2021, they exited in the AFC championship game and have not been back since you could

38
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:54,160
call it regression to not reach that level again, you could call it stagnation or at

39
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,600
the very least plateauing.

40
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:01,880
But at the end of the day, this is the hump this team needs to get over in order to accomplish

41
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,640
what their ultimate goal is.

42
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:12,320
I feel you on the trepidation, I'm usually there with the rest of Bill's mafia, but

43
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:19,480
there is a different vibe JJ around this like there is a there is like a we are all in this

44
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,200
pushing in the same direction type of feeling with this squad.

45
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,640
As you listen to a lot of these pregame press conferences, they seem ready to meet this

46
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:29,640
challenge.

47
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:35,160
And JJ, this is what they've been preparing and building towards year after year, every

48
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,400
since they got that taste of postseason success after the 2020 season.

49
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:47,440
They have wanted to secure home field advantage for this very reason to pull in Patrick Mahomes

50
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:53,800
and pull in the rival Kansas City Chiefs into their confines of Highmark Stadium in front

51
00:03:53,800 --> 00:04:00,720
of their fan base and tilt the advantage of playing location and their favor.

52
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,040
But more importantly than I think the strategic desires that they have around bringing this

53
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:12,000
game to Buffalo, they have wanted the fan base to bask in what could be not a culminating

54
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,520
victory because there would still feasibly be two more games to go if the bills won this.

55
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:24,120
But I think I think an era defining win, which is what the McDermott era lacks right now.

56
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,080
McDermott has coached a lot of great games.

57
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,440
He's coached a lot of questionable games.

58
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:34,040
But if you were to ask your run of the mill bills fan, what is the Sean McDermott era

59
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,800
been most known for?

60
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,040
They would probably tell you 13 seconds.

61
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:45,560
This is an opportunity with a victory in Highmark on our terms, on our field in front of our

62
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:54,040
fans, we can finally get that era defining win for this generation of bills fans and

63
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,720
this generation of bills players as well.

64
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:03,240
And because of that, I'm not feeling the usual trauma induced past bills fan behavior

65
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,840
trepidation that I normally feeling it.

66
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:07,760
I'm feeling like I'm ready for this moment.

67
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,560
I'm feeling like I want this moment.

68
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,000
And if the bills lose that might make the letdown a little bit more unsufferable than

69
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,840
it would have been otherwise.

70
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:21,080
But JJ, if they win the high that we're going to feel from this is going to be absolutely

71
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,080
immeasurable.

72
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,720
Dan, I couldn't agree with you more and I'm there with you.

73
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,480
And I think that, you know, I say terrified, horrified, whatever I might say, because it's

74
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,120
just because the stakes are so high.

75
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:36,920
But I too am feeling that kind of there is a scintillating energy flowing around Bill's

76
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,200
Mafia right now, because this again, like you mentioned, is what we've been wanting

77
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,760
so badly.

78
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:49,000
Patrick Mahomes has established himself as, you know, the top of the top in the QB, QB,

79
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,000
you know, pyramid.

80
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,840
And rightly so, you know, he's got an MVP, he's got multiple Super Bowl rings at this

81
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:56,320
point in his young career.

82
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:01,520
But this season, with that offense in Kansas City, not necessarily operating at the high

83
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:06,160
kind of electric levels you've been, you know, known to expect from the Kansas City Chiefs.

84
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:12,640
And Patrick Mahomes, having sort of a bad look in multiple games this season, you know,

85
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:18,320
crybaby appearances on the sidelines, screaming at profanities at referees for not warning

86
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,080
his team, they were breaking the rules.

87
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:27,320
All of that is kind of building up to this point, where, you know, what like you mentioned,

88
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:33,120
the statement about Bill's Mafia being present for this game and this matchup is so much

89
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,120
bigger than just it's an inconvenience to go on the road.

90
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:42,560
Patrick Mahomes has never played in a hostile stadium in the playoffs, not once in his career.

91
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:48,960
He's always been at GHA Field in Kansas City, or he's been at a neutral site for a Super

92
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:49,960
Bowl.

93
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,440
He's never had to go anywhere.

94
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:56,160
The AFC Championship game has been played in Kansas City most of the, I think all of

95
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,400
the past five or six years.

96
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:05,600
And it's the ability for the Bill's Mafia, the stadium, the atmosphere to have an impact

97
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,560
on this game, I think is one of the biggest X factors that people are talking about.

98
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,560
But I don't know that they're really talking about it, right?

99
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,560
Like, I think that everyone's like, Oh, Patrick Mahomes gonna have to travel, we'll see what

100
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,720
this team looks like on the road.

101
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,840
But they've traveled before, they played in Super Bowls.

102
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:24,200
And that I don't know that anyone's ready for what, what this fan base is going to bring

103
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,040
to that field on Sunday night.

104
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,560
They're going to be sourced just to, you know, public service announcement, take care of

105
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,560
each other.

106
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,080
We don't want anything bad to happen.

107
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:38,360
You know, have a good time, be super loud, but don't, you know, look after each other

108
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,160
because it's going to be pretty, you know, and start praying for each other's livers

109
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,280
right now, because I think that's going to be, you know, it's a long day of tailgating

110
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,760
before that game and that matchup, but I expect to see the snow cannons in the air.

111
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:56,360
I expect to see, you know, the refs warning the fans that they should not be throwing

112
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,000
snowballs on the field.

113
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,920
Just quick, quick FYI about that.

114
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:05,880
There is no rule in the NFL handbook at all that says that fans interaction with snow

115
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,560
in the field or the field surface can be held against the team of any kind.

116
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,160
So you know, I'm not telling you to do that, but I'm saying that they can actually penalize

117
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,160
the bills.

118
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,160
I've seen it before.

119
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,160
It's always false.

120
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,160
They can't actually do that.

121
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,960
But, and we can talk about officiating because of freaking Sean Hockley, but, but yeah, it's

122
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,480
going to be a wild experience.

123
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,360
And I am, I'm here for it.

124
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,200
I'm so excited to see this Kansas City offense, which again has kind of taken a step back

125
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:38,720
this year, trying to operate under the roar of the crowd.

126
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,320
And I think that's a good segue.

127
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,480
They can't saying, talking about the Kansas City offense and it being a different type

128
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:51,240
of beast than we have faced in the regular season and post season and years past because

129
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,400
it is a squad.

130
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:57,840
I think that as we have talked about, we have previewed Kansas City once already.

131
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:03,720
And in that preview, we talked about what was different about this KC squad.

132
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,480
I think one thing has been the tackle play.

133
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,960
The other thing has been the wide receiver play.

134
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,920
And then I think the third thing that people have talked less about has was that triumphant

135
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:20,360
of Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reed and Eric Biedemey being broken up, right?

136
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,080
All of those things.

137
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:27,440
And as a result of that, Kansas City has had to find a different way to win this season.

138
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:33,920
It's been on the back of what is an elite defense that Patrick Mahomes is now now has

139
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,400
a benefit to himself.

140
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,000
The one year where finally we get Kansas City and maybe a vulnerable spot offensively, they

141
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,880
roll out what is a top seven defense by DVOA.

142
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:50,480
But the bills JJ have been winning in a similar way to and it's crazy because the bills we

143
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,480
have said so many times and a lot of ways use the chiefs as a measuring stick.

144
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,040
And there have been game previews in the past where we've been like these teams are basically

145
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,840
mirror images of these chudder.

146
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:06,280
And it is almost uncanny in a season where the chief's offense has been his regress and

147
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,040
they had to find a new way to win.

148
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,880
The bills have had to find multiple new ways to win as well this season.

149
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,920
They've won in a lot of games with defense, despite the plethora of injuries they've

150
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:18,920
faced.

151
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,280
They have won more in the ground game this season than I would say they have with the

152
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,720
passing game as well.

153
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:33,360
Both of these teams, the media has told us are vulnerable and have risk and are not the

154
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,920
same squads they were before, but I think what we have seen over the course of the season

155
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:43,880
have been two elite squads that have had to find different versions of themselves in order

156
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,960
to remain competitive in order to win.

157
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,240
And now those two things come to a head here.

158
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:55,680
So I think whatever the outcome of this game is, it's going to be the path to that is going

159
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:59,800
to be unlike anything that we've seen between these two teams before because we're used

160
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,480
to shoot out games.

161
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,240
These two QBs dominating and I don't know that we're necessarily going to see that

162
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,240
this game.

163
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,240
These teams have seen a lot of each other over the past five years.

164
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,240
This is basically a divisional game.

165
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,040
Everybody knows what the other is bringing to the table and both of these teams have

166
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:22,200
some new additional tools in their tool belt to secure a victory that they haven't brought

167
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,600
to the table before by way of really, really elite defensive play.

168
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,240
And on the bill side of the ball, a new kind of physicality in the way they play offense.

169
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:37,000
And I think this is going to be unlike any entry we have seen in the series before and

170
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,080
I'm ready to get into it.

171
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,080
What about you?

172
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,080
Yeah, absolutely.

173
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:45,200
And I think that this in a lot of ways could look like like the street fight that, you know,

174
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,880
the Steelers game showed up to be because again, what the similarities between that game and

175
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:57,880
this game are that these two teams both tend to be defense first forward and find a way

176
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,160
to win on offense.

177
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,880
And that's not like you said, that's not the story of a couple of, you know, Formula

178
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,040
One cars showing up to the starting line with a clean track in front of them, like it has

179
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,200
been in previous matchups and critical moments.

180
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,240
And I think you saw, you know, Kansas City had pretty domineering victory against the

181
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:19,120
Dolphins, which is a high flying offense because again, defense led the way and then their

182
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,440
offense did what it had to do, you know, with some opportunities.

183
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,840
I think that's, you know, that's the game you're going to see here.

184
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,480
And certainly we can get in that down the road of score predictions.

185
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:32,960
But yeah, I mean, let's start, you know, I think that where we should go with the pod

186
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:39,520
is to we can just jump right into discussing kind of Casey offense versus Bill's defense.

187
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,760
And then I would ask you, Dan, throughout this, this conversation, sprinkle in some

188
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,280
observations you made about the bills in the playoffs.

189
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,040
Because we've seen one game, you know, the Steelers game this past weekend, we haven't

190
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,320
really kind of covered it and we probably won't go very much in depth to it.

191
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,960
But I think that everyone can agree that the Steelers were the, they were the seventh seed

192
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:04,760
in both name and image coming in to the AFC.

193
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,520
They did not necessarily have kind of the horses to really earn a seat at the table.

194
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,400
They got in by the way they did.

195
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,600
Mason Rudolph had a really nice run at the end, all the things we talked about, but not

196
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:21,040
having TJ Watt, their defense is about 50% power.

197
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,280
And then their offense just was not, you know, did not have the, the, the, the, the, you

198
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,200
know, talent needed to continue in the race.

199
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:33,120
And so to see the bills kind of pull that one out somewhat easily, you know, it got

200
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,200
tight within a score at one point, but the Pittsburgh Steelers never actually possessed

201
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,880
the ball within seven points.

202
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,560
The bills got it back and answered immediately.

203
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:46,640
So as we go through Casey offense versus Bill's defense and get into the kind of the metrics

204
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:51,440
there, just, you know, I offer the opportunity to give your observations about what we've

205
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,520
seen so far and how this bill's team is playing.

206
00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:00,360
Oh man, such a, such a wide open area to explore.

207
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:05,120
You know, I'll say this just generally, this is a team now that's playing with a lot more

208
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,560
physicality on offense.

209
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:14,260
And it has done that in a, in sort of this really amazing way without forgetting their

210
00:14:14,260 --> 00:14:15,680
elite star QB.

211
00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:20,600
They're just using his skill set, I think more fully than what was happening earlier

212
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,320
on in the season.

213
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,240
I also think to JJ, this is a team that is eager to close.

214
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,720
We've talked about this before.

215
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:32,080
This is a team that wants to get in front and then it wants to kind of grind things to a

216
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,080
halt.

217
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,560
I think I texted you in that Pittsburgh game in the third quarter.

218
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,520
I didn't love the play sequencing because they were really taking the air out of the

219
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:44,200
ball during a game where Josh was in basically terminator mode.

220
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,160
He was having great success in the air, taking care of the ball, making good decisions, hitting

221
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,040
guys in stride, but he was also having a lot of success on the ground.

222
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,640
And in the third quarter, and this is a trend I've noticed with this team, is they enter

223
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,120
the second half with a lead.

224
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,280
They kind of take their foot off the gas and I don't mean that in a, in a bad way, but

225
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:09,280
you can see them kind of like a boxer using the middle rounds of a fight to start to set

226
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,120
the opposing team up.

227
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,600
So they focused a lot more on that third quarter against Pittsburgh on the run game.

228
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,280
They ran more than they passed in the entirety of that quarter.

229
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:24,640
And as a result, when you get to the fourth quarter, you just saw how gassed and how tired

230
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,920
that Pittsburgh defensive front was.

231
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,600
And then they didn't have any answer for the bills closing it out with James Cook,

232
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:36,080
Ty Johnson, Latavius Murray and Josh Ellen's legs at the end of that game.

233
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:41,640
I think you can get away with that against a team like Pittsburgh.

234
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:46,080
I don't know that you're going to have the same benefit, even if you have a lead heading

235
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,640
into the second half with a team like Kansas City.

236
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,600
And I know this offense isn't what it used to be, right?

237
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,880
But this Kansas City offense has redefined itself.

238
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:01,840
And I don't think, I don't think they necessarily found their groove against Miami, but they

239
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,640
found some different ways to win.

240
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,080
They have now realized we've got to lean into Rashid Rice.

241
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,840
We've got to lean into Isaiah Pachinko.

242
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:15,080
Travis Kelsey isn't as dynamic as he used to be, but in short area yardage, he can help

243
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,240
keep some of these methodical drives this team needs to go on going.

244
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:25,400
So I think if the bills continue to follow this, this philosophy of game clock management,

245
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,960
grinding things to a halt when they have a lead, I think what you're asking this team

246
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:35,480
to do is play perfect on offense and have another turnover list game where they're not

247
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,320
giving an extra advantage to Patrick Mahomes.

248
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,440
Because that seems to be the way that they prefer to live in the second half of a lot

249
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:42,440
of these games.

250
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,840
And I just don't know that it works against this version of Kansas City.

251
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,520
I don't know that it works against any version of Patrick Mahomes, but in particular, this

252
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,520
version of this offense, the way that it is built and what they are answers, they are

253
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,160
now starting to find on offense.

254
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,880
I don't know that it's the way to go.

255
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:03,640
So if I had to summarize my thoughts on the offensive side of the ball for the bills,

256
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:04,640
it is more effective.

257
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,840
It is less efficient, but they are really, I think, too eager to take their foot off

258
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,120
the gas and start to go into their closing script.

259
00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:17,000
I would like to see them keep their foot on the gas just a little bit more against this

260
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,680
Kansas City team and really put this game away early if they have the opportunity.

261
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:27,440
Well, and I think that you may see that a little bit in this game because the bills

262
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,640
don't have a punter, Dan.

263
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,800
Or if they do, he's playing on one leg.

264
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,880
So or they're going to have Matt Hack.

265
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,560
I was going to say, we signed Matt Hawk.

266
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:36,560
We're fine.

267
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:37,560
Yeah.

268
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,560
Who's who's a Hock and name and a hack in the game.

269
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,560
So bro, that is that's the title for this episode.

270
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:45,560
Congratulations.

271
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,560
We're going to name it after the punter.

272
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:48,560
Yeah, we are.

273
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:53,400
So anyway, they may not have a punter, so they may be forced to kind of play more aggressively.

274
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,880
I think that we've we've also seen in critical moments of the past, you know, five, six games

275
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:58,880
stretch.

276
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,200
Sean McDermott has been way more aggressive.

277
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:06,240
He has looked different in the way he's been coaching in those key moments.

278
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,280
And he's looked like, you know, he is playing to win as opposed, you know, playing not to

279
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:11,280
lose.

280
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,200
And so I'm really hopeful that that carries in this matchup as well.

281
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,160
And I think that, you know, you're right.

282
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,440
I think that these two quarterbacks, you mentioned this earlier, bring the best out of each other.

283
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:27,440
And so if Josh Allen is Terminator mode, Josh Allen making smart decisions, kind of running

284
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:32,120
when he sees openings, Spagnola's defense does a lot of man, they're going to turn their

285
00:18:32,120 --> 00:18:36,160
back to him and rely on their spies to find him.

286
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:43,320
And that means one thing to me, James Cook, like if James Cook, they can't spy bull, the

287
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,520
way that they play defense, they cannot spy both James Cook and have a linebacker assigned

288
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:53,040
to him, the every play every snap, like the Steelers did, and then also have a linebacker

289
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,560
assigned to Josh Allen, every play, every snap.

290
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,640
Because if that's the case, then we're going to see Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid, Cleal

291
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:04,120
Shakir in the slot, maybe Stefan Diggs in the slot going off a little bit, because they're

292
00:19:04,120 --> 00:19:08,920
going to stretch that middle of that field a little bit too much for those, they're going

293
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:15,240
to put the linebackers in conflict, they won't be able to to spy and cover or spy Cook and

294
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:20,280
and Allen and cover all simultaneously, they'll have to kind of pick one or the other.

295
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,280
Those are the opportunities.

296
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,440
So really, what I'm what I'm thinking about with this game is like, yes, be aggressive,

297
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:33,760
but also, I think the big advantage here is that this Kansas City defense has the best

298
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:39,960
pass rush sack percentage in the league, they bring the quarterback to the ground the most.

299
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,160
They sack Josh Allen three times the last time they met.

300
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,560
It's likely they're going to get them to the ground again, as long as he doesn't make

301
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:51,720
poor decisions, fumbles, you know, throw in receptions, trying to throw himself out of

302
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:52,720
a sack.

303
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:53,920
I think it's okay if they get him down.

304
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:58,800
But I think that it's expect to see a game where Josh Allen tries to have a quick trigger.

305
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,480
And that's something that I think is going to be an advantage here.

306
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,880
And you know, the bills have more talent on the offensive side of the ball than than the

307
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:08,880
chiefs do.

308
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,720
And I think that's just that's just it.

309
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:16,240
Travis Kelsey has had a higher twice as his drop percentage is twice as much as it's ever

310
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,680
been in his entire career this season.

311
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,120
So he's struggling with drops a little bit.

312
00:20:22,120 --> 00:20:27,200
They literally have a rookie and Rishi Rice who I think is excellent and has really kind

313
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,280
of shown after the snap that he's or after the catch point that he's got some excellent

314
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,040
run after catchability.

315
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:38,040
But he's still kind of coming into his own beyond that they have not a lot of talent

316
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,840
anywhere else on that, you know, in the past catchers anyway.

317
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,560
As a Pacheco, I agree he runs like the ground owes him money.

318
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,480
I heard that or saw that on Twitter.

319
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,480
It's brilliant.

320
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,080
There's a lot of if you just like quote to eat or look for the quotes of Isaiah Pacheco

321
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,080
runs like it's gold.

322
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,800
The cover one guys were talking about that and I really appreciated it.

323
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,240
So you know, it's like there's a lot of opportunities in this game.

324
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,880
I think the bills have better talent on offense than the chiefs.

325
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,680
And I think the chiefs have better talent on defense than the bills.

326
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:09,840
But it's close.

327
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,640
And I think so that, you know, once you mix that all up with with the high mark stadium,

328
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,640
Bill's mafia, it's advantage bills, of course, and that's what we want.

329
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,560
But it's going to be an interesting and like you said, kind of when we opened, it might

330
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,400
be a bit of a street fight.

331
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,600
Oh, I absolutely think so.

332
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:31,120
And if you're the bills, you've you've got to you've got a course correct a little bit

333
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:37,080
from that first game that we played earlier in the season on the offensive side of the

334
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,080
ball in particular.

335
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,640
So maybe this is where we kind of frame things up and where we do a deep dive, because I'm

336
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:48,760
fascinated to see what this matchup or this rematch of Joe Brady versus Steve Spagnolo

337
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,040
is going to look like, because we kind of both agreed.

338
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,680
Spagnolo kind of got the better of Brady in that first matchup.

339
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,320
Josh threw the ball 42 times in that game.

340
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:04,280
And there were times where this chiefs played a lot of zone in that game, which was surprising.

341
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:10,880
And per EPA per backdrop, that was Josh's worst statistical performance against the

342
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,280
zone this season.

343
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:19,760
Spags, but Spags also knows how to dial up blitzes at the right time as well.

344
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,920
Brady and we saw a bit of a struggle with this in the Miami game that was nicely corrected,

345
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:29,200
I think in the Pittsburgh game, Brady built in a lot more quick time throws, blitz beaters

346
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,880
for Josh Allen.

347
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:36,760
There are a couple of key ways that you could attack this Kansas City defense that I think

348
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,600
I would like to see Brady hone in on and course correct from that first week.

349
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:47,800
One, you've got to be able to establish a second threat next to Stefan Diggs.

350
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:54,000
This unit because of the emergence of Lageria Snead has been elite at covering wide receiver

351
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,000
ones.

352
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:01,680
And per DV away the number five ranked team and shutting down an opposing teams top weapon

353
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,600
in the slot because of second year star Trent McDuffie.

354
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:11,760
This is the number two team and shutting down your slot receiver per DV away tight ends.

355
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,400
They're a top 10 unit and doing that because the guys like Nick Bolton, guys like Drew

356
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,360
tranquil, right?

357
00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:19,320
Here's where this team can be had.

358
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,800
It's on the outside opposite of Snead.

359
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,720
Where Snead is not guarding has got a factor in key to this game.

360
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,480
Now Gabe Davis, we know has already been ruled out.

361
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:36,480
So do you stick with Trent Scherfield and stick with your run blocking run minded run

362
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,560
run establishing mindset?

363
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:43,520
You might because this is also a Kansas City team that struggles against the run as well.

364
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:48,560
They're 27th and DV away against the run and they're 30th and EPA and success rate.

365
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,400
This is a team you can absolutely run on and we did in that first game.

366
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,400
But if this becomes a game where you got to win a little bit through the air, this could

367
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:02,520
be a cool Shakir flipping to the outside type of game or and we've been asking for this

368
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:03,800
for a while.

369
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,520
This could finally be our Deontay Hardy game.

370
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:13,840
It finally could be the emergence of that small fast quick footed little guy that we

371
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,000
that we picked up in the off season and we've been wondering when he's going to earn his

372
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,920
money when he's going to earn his money.

373
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,840
It could be in this game because as tough and as physical as this Kansas City defense

374
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:29,440
is there is no one opposite of Snead that they have an answer for that can counter Hardy

375
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:30,440
speed.

376
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,320
So I'd like to see Brady dig a little bit deeper into the bag.

377
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,160
I think we've got to establish the run in this game and it wouldn't make any sense to

378
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:45,320
not take advantage of a weak Kansas City run defense and wear that line down and pause that

379
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,240
George Carloftus and Chris Jones led pass rush.

380
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:54,080
But when we have to activate the passing game thrown a little bit of unpredictability and

381
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,080
unpredictability in the outside.

382
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,960
And this is different than my stance has been against other teams where I'm like we got

383
00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:01,640
to exploit the middle of the field.

384
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,120
We've got you know we've got to have these Blitzbeaters.

385
00:25:04,120 --> 00:25:09,240
I actually think you've got to attack whatever third of the field and outside the numbers

386
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,280
that Snead is not on.

387
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,080
That's what's going to give you your chunk plays.

388
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:17,880
That's what's going to give you the explosives that you need to really dictate game script

389
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,560
in the way that you need to.

390
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:24,480
So JJ I'm looking at a play cadence and a play sequence that I want to see from Brady.

391
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:30,340
This is a steady dose of James Cook and then forcing those Kansas City Chiefs to bring

392
00:25:30,340 --> 00:25:36,120
safety help over the other side of the field opposite Stefan digs because they can be had

393
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:39,120
wherever Snead is not on the outside of the hashes.

394
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:43,720
Yeah well and I think that they will bring safety help over because as you mentioned

395
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:49,280
Jalen Watson and Joshua Williams are the other outside corner since Trent McDuffie will

396
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,680
stay primarily in the slot.

397
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:56,000
And so those two other corners are pretty poor in their coverage grades.

398
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,880
But like you said they do tend to shade you know the safety they've just been reading

399
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:05,400
Mike Edwards playing Brian Cook being out is kind of a big thing for their run defense

400
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,480
because he was really in the box player.

401
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:13,320
And so or was he the middle fielder and Justin Reed's more in the box.

402
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,360
I forget which which way that those guys rotate.

403
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:20,000
Justin Reed is like their their chess piece.

404
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,360
He's like the guy who will play in the box and sometimes play in coverage.

405
00:26:24,360 --> 00:26:29,880
So you know Spags likes to rotate his coverages in the same way that McDermott does as we

406
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,120
talk about these teams being mere images of each other.

407
00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:37,920
Reed is the guy who is often going to rotate and he did it to great effect in that game

408
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,160
against Kansas City in the regular season.

409
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:46,080
Josh held on to the ball for his longest clip of the year at 3.3 seconds and you can credit

410
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,320
it a lot to those safety rotations confusing Josh post snap.

411
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,640
Well and I think that that's that's also there's something to be said for this bill's offense

412
00:26:53,640 --> 00:27:03,000
at that point in the year had been operating under Joe Brady for I mean he had the buy but

413
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,160
he essentially had you know two weeks against Jets and Eagles then the buy and then the

414
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,160
chiefs and so there's something to be said for like a little bit more time on task a

415
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:17,200
little bit more opportunity to kind of blend and and make the offensive playbook match

416
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,280
his his style.

417
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,880
And I believe that you know some of the things we saw against a stealer some of the things

418
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:28,760
that we've seen in the the win streak they had leading up to the playoffs gives me hope

419
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:33,680
that he'll be able to do things that they weren't able to do under Ken Dorsey which

420
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:38,360
is scheme individual guys open and scheme individual matchups.

421
00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:44,040
The Dalton Kincaid's seam shot for the touchdown after the turnover was a scheme based route

422
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,520
in which they studied their opponent they knew exactly what look they wanted to get

423
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:52,880
once they got the look they had the play dialed up to to score boom done.

424
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,680
And he's done a lot of that with bunch formations leading up to this you know this game in the

425
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:01,640
past number of weeks by having a bunch confusing coverage a little bit and then sneaking people

426
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:02,840
out.

427
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:07,520
We've seen James Cook both drop and catch wheel route you know against linebackers for

428
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:12,920
touchdowns there are some opportunities here to you know basically pick the guy you want

429
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:18,040
to pick on and attack them that we've seen from Brady which wasn't necessarily the same

430
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,240
with Ken Dorsey because with Ken Dorsey it's like okay yeah there's there's weaknesses

431
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:25,480
in the coverage but it's basically everybody at full speed deciding how they're going to

432
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:30,480
attack them and making those adjustments during the play and then hoping that everything hooked

433
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:35,720
up right in that moment in that window that it was created by coverage shifting the way

434
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:40,240
that both Stefan Diggs again running full speed and Josh Allen again avoiding the rush

435
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,600
decided to hit on right like that was not connected was connecting for a little while

436
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,920
and then it wasn't because I think that you know it became too predictable so there are

437
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:54,120
some opportunities here and kind of you know I'm I'm excited to see them over the past

438
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,840
month and a half.

439
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,040
Kallil Shakir has a 100% catch rate.

440
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:04,120
I hope he continues that you know you know somebody like Patrick Malm's is salivating

441
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:09,120
looking at a player like that with the problems he's had with Marcus Veldas scantling and

442
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:15,640
Kaderius Tony and Skymore various other you know craptacular wide receivers down there.

443
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,880
Even Rice has dropped a bunch of balls this season.

444
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,960
Yeah for as good for as good as he's been late.

445
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,320
Yeah.

446
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,240
So yeah I think that there's some opportunities and I'm I'm looking forward to those matchups

447
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:33,120
I'm worried about the Kansas City pass rush because it's so lethal it does such good work.

448
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,680
We saw that against the Dolphins as well.

449
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,240
It's going to be a true test.

450
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:42,560
I think they're going to probably put Chris Jones over Osiris Torrance a lot in this game

451
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:49,080
and really press that matchup which is advantage chiefs of course but hopefully the builds

452
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,080
have some plans for it.

453
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,920
With the release of Leonard Fournet I don't think that we're going to have there's any

454
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:59,760
question Latavius Murray is your third down pass protecting back in there and I see you

455
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:00,760
making a face.

456
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:06,560
It's so it's so predictable when he comes on the field now and listen man we're both

457
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,520
we're both from like the upstate New York region.

458
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,480
Oh yeah like like he's a local.

459
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,480
He's a legend in the area.

460
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:15,480
Yeah.

461
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:20,520
Syracuse guy Syracuse guy on a dog a guy we love we love Latavius Murray and he's been

462
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:28,040
in this team has shouted out his leadership ability in the in the locker room every time

463
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:32,800
he is on the field the opposing team knows exactly what is coming and every time he's

464
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:40,280
on the field and he is the check down he slips he doesn't have the same kind of agility

465
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,280
or quickness or cutting ability drops the ball.

466
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,280
Right.

467
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:49,080
So not only are we showing our hand every time he's on the field offensively we are

468
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,520
less when he is there.

469
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:56,760
I appreciate Latavius Murray but it is time to move him out of these personnel packages.

470
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:02,240
Well and I'll say this you know if we talk about who do we move in when we move him out

471
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:07,240
I know that Cook has kind of struggled in past protection but Ty Johnson even though

472
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:13,520
he's not a large man has shown some tenacity in kind of filling in in those snaps he's

473
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:18,080
had on third downs and various times of being a personal protector for Josh Allen.

474
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,680
I actually really like that you know that the way he presents as a blocker and you know

475
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:27,520
he tends to flow to the right spot to pick up Blitzers and we know we're going to see

476
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:34,240
them against you know the Spagnolo defense you know I like Ty Johnson in that role and

477
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,680
hopefully we see him for some of those snaps because otherwise yeah you're right it gets

478
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,560
predictable it's like oh Latavius Murray is in the game this must be either a short yardage

479
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:48,440
handoff draw or they're just going to pass it most likely the pass.

480
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,840
Yeah and and and as I say the things that I want to see Brady course correct that is

481
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,400
definitely one of them.

482
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:59,360
Listen there are there are not a lot of knits to pick with the offenses that Brady has called

483
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,920
he's given this offense an identity which even last year you and I were saying what

484
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:09,960
is the identity of this offense what are they good at Brady has given them an identity but

485
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:17,040
now I think we are far enough along into the progression of Brady as a offensive coordinator

486
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:22,960
and play caller where he's got to start pulling out some of the the things in the scheme that

487
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:28,320
are not working and Latavius Murray and any of these personnel packages is just not working.

488
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:35,600
Yeah man there this is a game as we say these two teams know each other so much there are

489
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:41,560
not a lot of surprises that either of these coaching staffs can go into the bag and pull

490
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,280
out against the opposing squad.

491
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:50,360
Less Latavius Murray more Ty Johnson would absolutely be one of those surprises flipping

492
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:55,320
Khalil Shakir to the outside in the absence of gave Davis and using a little bit more

493
00:32:55,320 --> 00:33:00,960
diana diana Hardy would also be one of those surprise tricks that you could pull out of

494
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:09,640
the bag outside of that JJ I don't know that there is much that the bills can offer offensively

495
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:16,200
that this Kansas City Chiefs defense wouldn't already be prepared for.

496
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,760
Yeah I agree with that and I think that you know that's that's the other thing is that

497
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:25,040
I think that you know when we talk about this bills offense versus Kansas City defense you

498
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:32,480
know against strength on strength in this matchup I you know it's going to sadly it's

499
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,760
going to come down to basically the way that Ken Dorsey called the offense which is every

500
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,360
offensive player is going to have to execute their assignment perfectly if they want to

501
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,560
pull this this game out that's exactly what has to happen because you're not going to

502
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:51,320
win because the defense is has a clunky scheme or players don't know fundamentally where

503
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,480
they're supposed to be on the field that's not a way that you win that way against teams

504
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,640
like the Chargers you win that way against teams like the commanders where it's like

505
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:06,000
you're exploiting gaps and talent you know vacuums in certain areas of the field or you're

506
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:11,680
running it down the throats of the you know Dallas Cowboys because they play a nickel

507
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:16,280
or dime defense that's way lighter than the offensive line you're putting on the field

508
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,680
and you're just kind of out beefing them that's not going to happen in this game I think that

509
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,480
one piece that's kind of interesting is that the Kansas City Chiefs are missing Derek Naughty

510
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:29,640
for this who plays as their nose tackle and heavy sets so expect to see that opportunity

511
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,120
but then you have Chris Jones in the middle you have George Carl Loftus who's like high

512
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:38,120
motor you know think Kyle Williams and his prime type player who never gives up on a play

513
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,360
can make you know has the athleticism to make the tackle from the from the trailing side

514
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,960
of the play comes up behind you know and that sort of thing can make some game changing

515
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:50,960
plays there's there's a lot going on in this defense that I don't think that you can just

516
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:56,160
you know line up your guys and say okay you know eight of eleven of our players can play

517
00:34:56,160 --> 00:35:01,440
their best rap and we're going to get a touchdown it's eleven of eleven gets you a touchdown

518
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:08,360
or first down only right like and anything less is maybe a negative play probably not

519
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:13,560
a turnover because the for some reason this defense is incredibly fundamentally sound

520
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,080
but it's almost like they're too good in coverage that they're never they're not selling out

521
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:22,440
for interceptions because they're just playing to like shut down the route.

522
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:30,520
Yeah, yeah man. It's it's going to be a fascinating chess match and I cannot wait to see what Brady

523
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:37,760
learned from that that I would say masterclass in the first game that Spags rolled out against

524
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:43,880
him like the bills still came away with that win and the defense played out of their minds

525
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,920
for the bills that game and I think this might be a good transition point to talk about my

526
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:53,240
homes versus whatever version of this bill's defense we're going to roll out per the injury

527
00:35:53,240 --> 00:35:59,600
report but the bills defense only allowed 17 against the chiefs in that first game and

528
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:04,920
as good as they have played and as good as McDermott has coached 17 does not feel like

529
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,960
a realistic number that they're going to hold this squad to right.

530
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:15,800
So let's let's talk about this bill's defense against this chiefs offense because it's equal

531
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:21,520
parts important and as fascinating as the matchup on the other side of the squads.

532
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:25,400
So JJ where do you want to start with us to I mean the injuries probably are the place

533
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:29,560
where we should start run through that litany of injuries.

534
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,800
Sure, well we'll get to the kind of lineup piece but before I get to the lineup piece

535
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:40,120
I have a little bit quiz lit I have a quiz to ask you how how many players how many

536
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,920
individual players were able to accumulate skill position players were able to accumulate

537
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:52,960
100 yards or more rushing or receiving against these Buffalo bills on this defense this season.

538
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:53,960
Skill position players.

539
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:58,000
Yeah, so running back tight end wide receiver somebody who is a skill position player not

540
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,400
quarterbacks of course quarterback getting 100 yards isn't really much at all.

541
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:05,680
I don't think we gave up 100 Tyreek at all this season right I think we did not know

542
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:06,680
we did not.

543
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,680
So we didn't give up on her to waddle who did we play.

544
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:16,400
Oh did Garrett Garrett Wilson got a Garrett Wilson got 100 in that first game right.

545
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:17,400
No, no.

546
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:18,400
Oh wow.

547
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:19,400
No, but Breece Hall did.

548
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:20,400
That's yeah.

549
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:21,400
Yeah, yeah, Breece Hall.

550
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,560
Yeah, he broke God he broke that ridiculous run.

551
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,480
Thank God for Christian Benford.

552
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:29,920
So I'm going to say so we know Breece Hall I'm going to say I mean it's got it's got

553
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:30,920
to be single digits.

554
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,440
I'm going to say four.

555
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:38,920
Four total individuals four total individuals had individual performances of 100 yards or

556
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:39,920
more against the bill.

557
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,920
So it was five games six individuals.

558
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:47,880
Oh, six individuals but six individuals think about the number of running backs wide receivers

559
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:52,120
and tight ends that roll out against a team in any week and go off for 100 yards which

560
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:56,000
you know when you get down to you know running backs wide receivers having excellent seasons

561
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:01,800
we pick face some excellent individuals but yeah, Breece Hall 100 in the first Jets game

562
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:06,200
rushing Devon Hain 100 in the dolphins blow out.

563
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:07,200
That's right.

564
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:13,720
Yeah, the one that I thought was extra surprising was that in the in the Jaguars game both Travis

565
00:38:13,720 --> 00:38:18,920
Etn went for 130 and Kelvin really went for 120 which is just I remember that game was

566
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,000
just a mess.

567
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,240
And that team that team was seven and eight in the United States.

568
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:25,240
I know.

569
00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:27,240
It's wild.

570
00:38:27,240 --> 00:38:30,840
And the Bengals T Higgins went for 100 on us.

571
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,720
And then finally and this is the this is I think the most important thing if you want

572
00:38:33,720 --> 00:38:39,160
to like frame how this bill's defense has been kind of since the break the last person

573
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:45,400
to go for over 100 was Devonta Smith with the Eagles before the buy they haven't done

574
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,780
no player has gotten over 100 and only a few players have gotten over 50.

575
00:38:49,780 --> 00:38:54,120
That is in since then readable when you consider they've done the majority of that work without

576
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:55,120
Milano.

577
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,120
Yes.

578
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:57,120
Without Trey White.

579
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:02,240
Rizul Douglas working himself into this scheme as a just just Dequan Jones coming back for

580
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:03,240
the last game.

581
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:05,120
Like that's that's that's incredible.

582
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:11,320
That's incredible again like a McDermott in the defensive coordinating job he has done

583
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:12,320
this season.

584
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,080
I mean it is one for the books.

585
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,080
It is one for the books.

586
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:21,120
It won't matter if they lose on Sunday but it really is in retrospect one for the books.

587
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:25,480
And to speak to that now now to kind of pivot to that lineup question about this Kansas City

588
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:30,120
matchup the Buffalo Bills are going into this game with their kind of base nickel defense

589
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:36,720
missing five preferred starters that are out or out or questionable and unlikely and those

590
00:39:36,720 --> 00:39:42,840
are Trell Bernard, Taryn Johnson, Tredavious White, Matt Milano, Rizul Douglas, right.

591
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:47,200
Like those are the players that you would kind of prefer to have on the field.

592
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,720
And we don't know about you know it's hopeful and likely Taryn Johnson and Trell Bernard

593
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:54,360
are in hopeful and more likely Rizul Douglas isn't right.

594
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:58,160
So those are players that might be playing dinged up but might will be there and then

595
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:03,960
there's two preferred backups that get a lot of snaps and Taylor Rap and Christian Benford

596
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:09,280
specifically over that span of time the last six seven games where the Buffalo Bills have

597
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:14,520
been holding opposing talent to such you know kind of regular pedestrian numbers.

598
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:19,720
Taylor Rap coming on the field as a deep deep third safety in dime looks and bringing Jordan

599
00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:26,800
Porter into the box has allowed the Bills to take their you know Tyrell Dodson who's

600
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:33,040
an excellent you know early down run stuffer off the field kind of pivot into a dime look

601
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:37,080
and really shut down what play what the teams are trying to do in the past game.

602
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:42,160
They won't have that opportunity with you know Taylor Rap out it's going to be maybe

603
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:48,360
DeMar Hamlin, Cam Lewis coming on and I think that you know the thing that I've seen just

604
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:54,680
in the Steelers game that I was really impressed with was Kyrie Lom after that awful you know

605
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:59,480
first four or five snaps including the penalty for pass interference that got the Steelers

606
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,080
down to the one yard line.

607
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,760
After that and he made that interception he had a solid game on the rewatch and on the

608
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:10,640
all 22 he had sticky coverage who's still very handsy there were definitely some calls

609
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,840
that Pickens you know was a little bit upset about that could have could have been made

610
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:20,840
on him and on Dane Jackson but you know he had a solid game so I feel a little bit better

611
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,360
about him having to come in in relief but yeah that is the story that's the story of

612
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:29,040
this defense for the entire season is playing shorthanded playing without you know some

613
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:34,240
of their key stars and the one thing that might be an X factor in this game as we kind

614
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:39,320
of do talk about lineups is the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs did not see DeQuon

615
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:44,400
Jones and Ed Oliver lined up next to each other in the first meeting they had Jordan

616
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:51,520
Phillips Tim Settle I don't think did we have I'm blanking on the name Linval Joseph

617
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,040
do we have Linval Joseph in that game.

618
00:41:54,040 --> 00:42:00,160
Yeah here I got the snap count run for me I always say yeah so they did not see probably

619
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:06,720
our best interior big technique detackle into Quon Jones and we did have Linval.

620
00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:10,440
Yep Linval had to tackle that game and I think that might have been his first game with the

621
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:11,440
team.

622
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:16,360
It would have been right after the trade deadline and he was a free agent a street free agent

623
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,160
so right we signed him right at that time I think.

624
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,140
Oh no yeah yeah yeah you're right you're right I'm getting him confused with playoff

625
00:42:22,140 --> 00:42:23,140
lining.

626
00:42:23,140 --> 00:42:28,720
Oh yeah no problem so that I think is the big story is that the clear strength of this

627
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:33,480
builds offense or builds defense against the Kansas City offense is that line it's that

628
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:38,520
line in that pass rush and I think that we're going to need to see something from Von Miller

629
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,800
we're going to need to see another AJ Epineza game against KC he had a really excellent

630
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:48,680
game the first time and he cracked his ribs on that one play or intercept the ball so

631
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:53,160
he's probably got some desire to come back in here and make some hay having played against

632
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:59,320
them once before their offensive line I'm sure we've covered is excellent in the middle

633
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,880
Creed Humphrey the one that got away Joe Tooney.

634
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,840
Can we not can we just not talk I mean Creed is just so.

635
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,720
We won't rehash it anyone who's listened to the pod knows how we feel about Creed Humphrey.

636
00:43:09,720 --> 00:43:14,200
Anyone who's listened to any Buffalo Bills podcast knows how this fan base feels about

637
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:15,720
Creed Humphrey.

638
00:43:15,720 --> 00:43:20,000
So in their middle Joe Tooney Creed Humphrey Trace Smith Trace Smith had a kind of crappy

639
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:25,400
game against the Bills the first time they met but he's solid and has been but you know

640
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:30,520
Juan Moris is out so Donovan Smith at left tackle Joann Taylor has been a mess he's had

641
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:36,840
like 18 or 19 penalties which is far and away the most by any offensive player this season

642
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:42,840
and he's also the one who tends to one leave snap early to leave the snap count early into

643
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:49,160
his pass set and also to never actually line up legally on the line so I'm hopeful that

644
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:53,000
you know the officiating notices make sure that he's lined up properly make sure that

645
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:58,240
he's leaving on time and not early and that's another advantage for the Buffalo Bills with

646
00:43:58,240 --> 00:44:02,000
Bill's Mafia in the house the snap counts are going to be hard to hear communication

647
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:03,000
is going to be rough.

648
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:09,040
Joann Taylor somebody who we can directly effect as a fan base to benefit the defense

649
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,800
and put them in some longer down in distance opportunities.

650
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:18,360
Yeah, Taylor has had 17 total penalties called on him this season that is basically one per

651
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:19,360
game.

652
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:23,480
So he's absolutely good for one just like Snead is good for one on the defensive side

653
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:24,480
of the ball.

654
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:31,560
Um, yeah, they're again, and this is it is hard for me to remain objective and hold

655
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:32,940
in my excitement.

656
00:44:32,940 --> 00:44:38,960
But when we talk about this Kansas City offense, and it could all come crashing down around

657
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,640
us after I make this take.

658
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:47,040
But with this Kansas City, this feels like the most gettable this team has ever been

659
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:48,320
ever been.

660
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:52,800
And this bill's defense and the elite level it is playing at and the elite level it is

661
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:59,480
being coached at the end of the Philadelphia Eagles game feels like eons ago.

662
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:04,280
Because to your point, McDermott has thrown caution to the wind and he is absolutely coached

663
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,800
out of his mind and coached aggressively.

664
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:11,560
And I think if that continues and he doesn't turtle up in this game with whatever who they

665
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:17,280
roll out there, whatever squad they roll out there is going to have a chance against this

666
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,040
version of Kansas City.

667
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:25,480
The power of Kansas City has been that no matter how multiple you are against this offense,

668
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,200
they are eventually going to assimilate.

669
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:33,720
But that was back when they had the triumvirate of my home's read and be enemy.

670
00:45:33,720 --> 00:45:39,160
That was a crew that had seen just about everything together, everything together.

671
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:44,360
And whatever you could throw at them, they were eventually going to adjust to the Miami

672
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,840
Dolphins blitzed Patrick Mahomes JJ.

673
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:52,680
The thing that you are never supposed to do against the great one, Patrick Mahomes, the

674
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:58,240
grim reaper himself, they decided to do what no one else does, bring extra guys against

675
00:45:58,240 --> 00:45:59,240
him.

676
00:45:59,240 --> 00:46:05,400
And Patrick Mahomes only completed 56% of his passes against that Miami Dolphins defensive

677
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:10,280
pass rush when they brought an extra rusher at the line of scrimmage.

678
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,980
They confused Mahomes pretty successfully at the line of scrimmage with a little bit

679
00:46:13,980 --> 00:46:19,120
of disguised coverage, which we know the bills can do to much greater effect than the dolphins

680
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:20,360
can.

681
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:26,640
This version of the Kansas City chiefs seems to have less answers than it has had in the

682
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,720
past for what opposing defenses can do.

683
00:46:29,720 --> 00:46:35,840
And opposing defenses, much like they've been playing Josh, have tended to basically

684
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:41,400
say we can die a death by 1000 paper cuts and let Mahomes absolutely cut us up on a

685
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:47,000
12 play drive and bring us down the field, or we can change things up a little bit.

686
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:52,080
Teams are still playing a lot of too high against Kansas City and they are forcing Kansas

687
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:56,600
City to be basically the Baker Bayfield version of the Cleveland Browns from a few years ago

688
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,920
and plot down the field.

689
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:02,920
And they've taken advantage of the fact that the personnel around Mahomes is not good enough

690
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:07,560
to execute those drives perfectly like you need to to be successful.

691
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:11,440
The teams have also been picking their spots, ma'am, Mahomes has been rushed.

692
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:16,960
We talked about Josh Allen being in the top 10 and facing Blitz this season.

693
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:18,640
Mahomes is in the top 12.

694
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:24,320
Teams are picking their spots a lot more aggressively against Mahomes and it is working.

695
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:29,400
So when you factor in less talent at positions where they've had talent before, when you

696
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:35,960
factor in a hostile environment, and when you factor in the way this bill's defense

697
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:41,040
is playing and the schemes that are running out there, being the things that this Kansas

698
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:47,120
City Chiefs team has less answers for, I don't want to get ahead of myself, but it feels

699
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:51,880
like this could be an advantageous matchup for the bills for the first time in a while.

700
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:52,880
Oh, absolutely.

701
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:58,440
And I think it's the first year that Patrick Mahomes has had his pressure when he when

702
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:03,680
pressured his completion percentage, his deep throw percentage, his touchdown to interception

703
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,360
rate, everything is down.

704
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:09,840
He is much more likely to turn it over than get a touchdown when blitzed, which is the

705
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:13,040
first time in his career that that's been true.

706
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,840
And so I think that that absolutely is an opportunity.

707
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:20,360
And I'd like to highlight one player that might have some opportunities in that way.

708
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:24,000
And I think I have a good analogy for him.

709
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:30,880
So I think we talked about Dorian Williams as making a full speed mistakes previously.

710
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,920
And I think that one thing I saw with the Steelers, they had to play him, right?

711
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,480
They had to play him because the injuries forced their hand a little bit.

712
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,920
But I saw something really interesting on the rewatch.

713
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:45,120
Dorian Williams is a green shell in Mario Kart.

714
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:46,400
He is not a blue shell.

715
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:47,400
Blue shell.

716
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:48,880
Matt Milano is a blue shell.

717
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:53,280
Matt Milano will find the quarterback, no matter the cost through the trash, through

718
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,200
the scrabble and bring it to the ground.

719
00:48:56,200 --> 00:49:03,520
He will fold Mike White in half and break everything inside of his body at full speed.

720
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:04,920
Dorian Williams isn't that.

721
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,480
So you have to use Dorian Williams like a green shell in Mario Kart.

722
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,320
You have to go for the bank.

723
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,960
You have to do you just it's a direct fire.

724
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:14,280
It's dumb ordinance.

725
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:18,360
You shoot him at whatever you want to stop as fast as possible.

726
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,560
And you cover him with other players.

727
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:21,560
And that's what they did.

728
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:27,120
They actually had him do some run blitzes and some different kind of pass rush assignments

729
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:28,680
where they're like Dorian.

730
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:33,280
He's Bobby Boucher in the water boy for all the olds who know that particular Adam Sandler

731
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:34,280
vehicle.

732
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:39,360
You just need to point him at something and be like, go destroy that and don't think too

733
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:43,800
hard about what's going on around you because we have Jordan Boyer and Mike Ahide and we've

734
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:49,760
got, you know, AJ Klein, who is a hero among men also for skipping his vacation plans and

735
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:50,960
coming out of retirement.

736
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:55,400
They're quasi retirement for a game and showing up and having the most tackles on the team.

737
00:49:55,400 --> 00:50:00,840
Really they that was I think the biggest benefit is we've seen Terrell Bernard trying to help

738
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:02,240
Dorian Williams on the field.

739
00:50:02,240 --> 00:50:07,160
And then we've seen Dorian Williams fail epically, hit the wrong run fit, not make his kind of

740
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,120
assignment.

741
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,800
So I think that having AJ Klein out there with Dorian Williams was an amazing kind of

742
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,840
veteran presence of being like, no, no, this is what you want to do.

743
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:17,720
And just that don't do anything else.

744
00:50:17,720 --> 00:50:19,440
Don't look at any of the flashy things.

745
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,480
Don't pay attention to any sparkling lights.

746
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,520
I just need you to run full speed at that person.

747
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:29,080
And if they catch the ball, I want you to evict their soul from their body.

748
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:30,080
And that worked.

749
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:31,080
That was okay.

750
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,560
So, you know, we may see some Dorian Williams snaps in this game.

751
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:40,480
And if we do, I'm actually kind of excited because as terrible, it's sort of like watching

752
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,480
Josh Allen when he's a rookie, right?

753
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:47,520
You're like, oh my God, like you're just looking horror at some of the things he does.

754
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:52,200
But then you see something you're like, Oh, that was an incredibly athletic and unworldly

755
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,600
play that not many people in this league can make.

756
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:56,080
That's Dorian Williams for me right now.

757
00:50:56,080 --> 00:51:02,480
Yeah, man, he's definitely a min max version of a player on this defensive squad.

758
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,360
He he he's glass cannon for the DNDs.

759
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:06,360
Exactly.

760
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,800
He's going to be very high variance, right?

761
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:12,160
I was checking because he has really struggled in past coverage.

762
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:16,840
And this is, I think back to early career, Tremaine Edmonds against Pat Mahomes and the

763
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:20,960
way Mahomes would just move Edmonds wherever he wanted to on the field.

764
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:22,400
He had a remote control.

765
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,600
Exactly, right?

766
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,240
Mahomes reacts so quickly.

767
00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:31,720
I don't know that he's patient enough to be manipulated by Mahomes over the middle.

768
00:51:31,720 --> 00:51:36,320
But still, I mean, there is a case to be made for Dorian Williams to get real snaps in this.

769
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,720
And we can't say it enough.

770
00:51:38,720 --> 00:51:43,280
Bobby Babbage, assistant coach of the year, he's not going to get it.

771
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:49,720
But every time a linebacker has gone down, he has literally taken guys off the couch

772
00:51:49,720 --> 00:51:55,200
and AJ Klein and gotten them ready to play in this game, just absolutely unbelievable.

773
00:51:55,200 --> 00:52:00,880
We criticize so much of the coaching detail and the efficacy of this crew.

774
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:02,880
Bobby Babbage, man, he's one of the real ones.

775
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:08,060
And we need to keep him at any cost it takes to keep him because he to me, he is our future

776
00:52:08,060 --> 00:52:10,760
defensive coordinator without a doubt on this squad.

777
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,480
Oh yeah, he's excellent.

778
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:17,120
So JJ, if we were to summarize before before going to prediction, should it go wrong?

779
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,080
I think we would probably both agree.

780
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:23,000
On the offensive side of the ball, a steady dose of James Cook.

781
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,600
This is a Kansas City defense that struggles to stop the run.

782
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:31,440
This is also a team that struggles to defend running backs, catching pit balls out of the

783
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,240
backfield.

784
00:52:33,240 --> 00:52:35,920
Roll out a couple of surprises, man.

785
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:40,520
Duff the Latavius Murray packages, give those snaps to Ty Johnson.

786
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:45,320
And let's see a little bit of Chicanery in the absence of Gabe Davis on the outside.

787
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:46,320
Chicanery word of the pod.

788
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:47,720
Yep, there we go.

789
00:52:47,720 --> 00:52:48,720
Chicanery.

790
00:52:48,720 --> 00:52:51,120
By the way, we owe my buddy, Dave, a beer.

791
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,160
He used the term amalgamation to me.

792
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:54,160
Yes.

793
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:57,600
He listens to the pod and we were hanging out earlier this week and he used amalgamation.

794
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:58,880
He's like, where's my beer?

795
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,160
And I'm like, you listen.

796
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:06,240
One of the guys at the PT spot I go to who I shouted out last time, used amalgamation

797
00:53:06,240 --> 00:53:07,240
when I walked in.

798
00:53:07,240 --> 00:53:08,840
And so I also him a beer.

799
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:09,840
Yes.

800
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:11,080
So we owe some people beers.

801
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:12,600
We got to like be careful with those things.

802
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:16,120
We can't go too rich with the use the word of the pod and we'll send you a car.

803
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:17,120
Like no.

804
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:18,120
Yeah.

805
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:19,120
We can't get a beer for right now.

806
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:20,120
Yes.

807
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:21,120
That feels very.

808
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,520
I can afford however many people listen to this pods worth of beer.

809
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:24,520
That's right.

810
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:25,520
So yeah.

811
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:26,520
So I think that right.

812
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:31,120
So a little bit of deviation from the typical, hey man, we're going to run the ball.

813
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:34,760
So let's put Trent Scherfield out there for all the David snaps.

814
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:36,040
Let's see a little bit of Hardy.

815
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:40,080
Let's see a little bit of Shakira on the side because we absolutely know these Kansas City

816
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:46,760
Chiefs struggle to defend outside the numbers wherever Lageria's Sneed is not on the defensive

817
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:48,360
side of the ball.

818
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:51,600
How would you summarize what these Buffalo Bills need to do against this Mahomes led

819
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,640
defense or offense?

820
00:53:54,640 --> 00:54:02,280
I think that the the bills defense needs to take advantage of Bill's mafia to turn that

821
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,480
into pass rush pressure.

822
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:09,160
And what I mean by that is you need to press the edges of this team and use twists and

823
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:14,960
stunts and things that require a lot of offensive line communication because the tackles left

824
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:19,760
and right tackle on the Kansas City Chiefs, they are solid but not spectacular and they

825
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:20,860
can be had.

826
00:54:20,860 --> 00:54:25,320
So I think that this is an opportunity, different twists stunts, different delayed blitzes.

827
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:29,880
I know that a number of teams having watched a lot of Kansas City football replays this

828
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:35,280
week, a lot of teams have done delayed blitzes on Patrick Mahomes where they basically wait

829
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,760
one beat to make sure it's not a screen.

830
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:39,960
And then they send someone flying through the gap.

831
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,800
Maybe that's green shell Dorian Williams.

832
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:47,240
But again, I don't trust him to diagnose whether it's a screen and then go on a rush.

833
00:54:47,240 --> 00:54:49,120
So like who knows.

834
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:53,080
But yeah, that's the thing that's crazy is we mentioned before Patrick Mahomes does

835
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:58,400
not has been doing more poorly under pressure than he has any on the other time in his career.

836
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:02,960
This team he's also holding the ball longer than he ever has purse on a person that basis

837
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:07,280
and this team throws screens at like a top five or top six rate.

838
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:13,640
And so the screen comes out in less than one and a half seconds on a pass usually.

839
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:17,400
And still his rate for holding the ball is over 2.8.

840
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:22,520
So he's definitely hanging onto it much, much longer because you'd think that that amount

841
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:26,080
of screens would bring his average way down and it's not.

842
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:27,880
So he is he's trying to make magic.

843
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,160
So you need to compress a rush.

844
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:35,400
You need to cage rush delayed delayed blitzes, you know, read the play and then shoot a gap.

845
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:39,600
Use twist stunts with your defensive line, some tackle scrape stuff because they're not

846
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:40,600
going to do.

847
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:44,760
They're not going to do very well if they can't communicate live with the Bill's mafia

848
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:45,760
screaming.

849
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:47,260
Love it.

850
00:55:47,260 --> 00:55:48,260
Absolutely love it.

851
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:50,120
All right, JJ.

852
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:52,800
The moment of truth prediction sure to go wrong.

853
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:53,920
Let's start with score.

854
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:54,920
Where are you at?

855
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:58,040
Oh my God.

856
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:02,160
So the bills defense has held.

857
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:06,000
I don't think any has anyone scored 30 on this Kansas State Chiefs this year.

858
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,520
I don't think so.

859
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:09,520
On the Chiefs.

860
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:15,520
No, in point of fact, over their last 10 games, they have not allowed over 21 points.

861
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:16,520
Okay.

862
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:20,680
So I like the bills 27 to 21 over these Chiefs.

863
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:22,480
Man, bucking the trend there.

864
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:23,480
Look at you.

865
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,840
Yeah, I know this is going to be scrappy.

866
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:32,040
But I think what we see from Josh Allen, like, I know we've talked about sugar high Josh

867
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,480
and kind of panic Josh and those sorts of things.

868
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,960
I feel like this is straight up a Terminator Josh game.

869
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:43,200
I feel like this is how he came out saucy and ready in the negative six degree game

870
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,480
against the Patriots 47 17 game.

871
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:50,200
I think that that's the kind of Josh we have dialed in because that's how he was slinging

872
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:55,280
it in basically the second half of the Dolphins game all the way through the Steelers game.

873
00:56:55,280 --> 00:57:00,240
Good decisions, solid, you know, decision making running when he wanted opportunities.

874
00:57:00,240 --> 00:57:03,960
Really like juke and people's out of their shoes so bad they accused him of fake sliding,

875
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:05,400
which is BS.

876
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:06,400
That's literally called a deek.

877
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:07,400
Yeah, yeah.

878
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:08,400
It's an hockey.

879
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,560
I mean, it was it's chicanery.

880
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:11,560
Absolute juke.

881
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:13,560
It was an absolute juke not a fake slide.

882
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:17,440
Now, look at what Kenny, what Kenny Pickett did in college was a fake slide.

883
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,520
Josh Allen was not fake sliding.

884
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,320
No, stat correction.

885
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:26,880
The Kansas City Chiefs have given up over 21 points in one game out of their last 10

886
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:29,280
that Green Bay Packers game where they get 27.

887
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:30,280
Right.

888
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:34,560
So this is not a team that's given up 30 and it's usually holding squads around 20.

889
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:38,760
Ah, man, I struggle with this so badly.

890
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:40,760
I'm going to go bills.

891
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:42,240
I don't think it's 27.

892
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,160
I just don't.

893
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:48,880
I have too much respect for this Kansas City defense and the level of hype they're going

894
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:50,920
to bring to this game as well.

895
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:56,120
I'm going to say bills 24 Chiefs.

896
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:57,600
Chiefs 20.

897
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:01,800
I think I think the bills defense can get the job done.

898
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:05,600
And I think the offense is going to do just enough to squeak it out.

899
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:11,160
And here's the reason why we've laid out what we think this bill's offense needs to do to

900
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:14,960
take advantage of the weak spots on this Chiefs defense.

901
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:22,800
This is the best defensive coordinator probably that that the bills have faced in the McDermott

902
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:28,720
era, and he always seems to be able to dial up a lot of answers with inadequate rosters

903
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:29,720
against this team.

904
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:34,920
This is a really good defensive roster for Kansas City, and it's a mostly healthy defensive

905
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,440
roster, especially when compared to the bills.

906
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:41,080
And young and they've got speed elements, right?

907
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:46,400
Unless the unless Brady is willing to not completely deviate from tendencies, but like

908
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:52,800
I said, show the show the Chiefs something that they have not yet seen from this squad.

909
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,040
I think Spags is going to have this team ready to go.

910
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:59,560
I still think the bills pull it out, but I don't think it's 13 second shootout game.

911
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:01,880
I think this is 24 20 bills.

912
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:02,880
Great.

913
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:03,880
I like both.

914
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:07,840
I mean, gosh, like like we said, when we open the pod, like this is this all coming.

915
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:08,840
It's all come to this.

916
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:12,240
Like this is the decider of the season.

917
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:16,800
Of course, it's winter go home, but also of all of the narratives around this team and

918
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:20,400
the struggles they've had and Sean McDermott and Ken Josh Allen beat my homes in a big

919
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:24,760
moment and all of the, you know, all the things that people have been saying for ever since

920
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:30,600
13 seconds, basically all come around to this is this a chance, you know, for the bills

921
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:35,080
to change their destiny and not be remembered for puking all over themselves in the last

922
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:38,320
minute or 13 seconds of a game.

923
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:40,200
This is again.

924
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:46,160
This is an era defining opportunity for the squad and the stakes cannot be understated.

925
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:49,160
It dude, it's whatever happens.

926
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:50,160
It's going to be epic.

927
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:51,840
The high is going to be epic.

928
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:56,400
The mental health recovery I'm going to need in the event of a loss is going to be epic.

929
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,000
Way too much of my well-being is riding on this game on Sunday.

930
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,000
It's way too much.

931
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,000
The hands of a bunch of 25 year old millionaires.

932
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:04,000
Seriously.

933
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,960
Oh my God, we are sick puppies of sports fans.

934
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:08,280
Let me tell you for sure.

935
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:09,280
All right.

936
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:11,520
I have I've only got one prop for this.

937
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:12,520
Okay.

938
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:16,280
I was trying to come up with like fun quirky stuff, but the reality is, is this basically

939
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:20,120
a divisional game and these games are always like too weird.

940
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:21,840
But I do have one for you.

941
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,400
It's not an overrun der.

942
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,280
Von Miller, active or inactive for this game.

943
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:29,160
Oh my God.

944
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:30,440
Mine was a Von Miller one.

945
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:31,440
That's so funny.

946
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:32,440
Was it really?

947
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:33,440
Yeah.

948
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:34,440
We do.

949
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,520
I was like, this is funny because I didn't go active inactive.

950
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:39,040
I'm going to say he's active.

951
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:40,040
I'm picking active.

952
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:45,800
I'm picking active because I think he was close to sacking Mason Rudolph on one play.

953
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:50,160
He had a little bit of juice on a couple of pass rush snaps at the end of that game against

954
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:51,160
the Steelers.

955
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:56,280
And so I think that they probably they made him inactive or they made him active for games

956
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:59,960
following way worse performances than that against the Steelers.

957
01:00:59,960 --> 01:01:04,920
And he's still respected in the locker room as a leader, as a championship winning defensive

958
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:05,920
end linebacker.

959
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:06,920
Yeah.

960
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:09,280
And that's what Kingsley Jonathan could do with some of those snaps.

961
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:10,360
You know what I mean?

962
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:16,080
But that was my prop though is Von Miller over over under half a sack under.

963
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:20,520
Again, I'm going to continue to take the under until he actually sacks someone, which he

964
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:22,000
has not done this season.

965
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:23,400
No, he hasn't.

966
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:28,120
And the last time, I mean, not the last time he had a sack, but he did have a game clinching

967
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:32,480
sack on Patrick Mahomes in the regular season game last year before he was injured.

968
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:38,880
I know, and it would be great to see that version of Von again, but I just I don't think so.

969
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:42,520
I think it's going to have to be the other edge rushers that get this done.

970
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:46,440
And man, I hope that D-Line brings the heat and take some of the heat off what has been

971
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:49,480
an excellent secondary performance this season.

972
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:56,880
Well, and I remember hearing post game conversations from AJ Epinezza about how he was feeling it

973
01:01:56,880 --> 01:02:02,040
against this chiefs team and like had that amazing play and then got injured on it and

974
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,280
had to, you know, was it was shelved for the rest of the game.

975
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:05,760
So I feel like he has a lot of things.

976
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:07,960
He has some oats he wants to sow here.

977
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:09,840
Absolutely some unfinished business.

978
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:10,840
Yeah, for sure.

979
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:12,760
All right, man, you got any more props?

980
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:14,640
Like I said, I just got the Von Miller one.

981
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:19,200
No, I just, you know, I'm just, you know, I'm putting putting all my chips in for this

982
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:20,200
one too.

983
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:23,960
We got to we got to get this thing and continue on survive in advance.

984
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:28,200
That's the name of the game can be ugly just needs to be a W.

985
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:32,600
If the bills lose, I'll be very honest with our listeners, you're not probably not going

986
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:36,000
to see a new episode for like months until it's draft season.

987
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:40,160
And we're just going to come back and be like, Hey, all right, bills, post season.

988
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:41,760
One of two things will happen.

989
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:45,880
You will not hear from us for a very long time or you will hear from us immediately.

990
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:50,160
Like there will be a prod the same day as the game where we just come on and like we're

991
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:55,880
partially drunk and like very upset just 12 and crying in the background.

992
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:59,200
12 minutes of two grown men just crying openly on the internet.

993
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:02,760
That's sobbing uncontrollably new YouTube sensation.

994
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:08,480
All right, well, and hopefully this game will be sensational in the favor of the bills, but

995
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,000
we'll we'll see this Sunday.

996
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:14,560
So for all of you listening at home, like share and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts,
