Transcript
- WEBVTT 00:00:11.180 --> 00:00:13.140 What's up, friends? Welcome to another episode 00:00:13.140 --> 00:00:15.419 of Tables, Tailgates, and Toploaders. This is 00:00:15.419 --> 00:00:17.699 a special Week 10 game preview. We are going 00:00:17.699 --> 00:00:19.820 to talk about Bills and Dolphins. I am your host, 00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.199 TB. Thanks for checking out the 3Ts Podcast. 00:00:22.379 --> 00:00:24.719 So much to get to in this game preview. But before 00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:27.140 we dive right into the news and notes, I do want 00:00:27.140 --> 00:00:29.179 to start by talking about the trade deadline. 00:00:29.579 --> 00:00:32.479 Because the trade deadline came and went on Tuesday 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:36.579 at 4 for the Buffalo Bills. Now, I actually recorded 00:00:36.579 --> 00:00:40.140 an emergency podcast on this new kind of travel 00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:42.679 mic system. thing I bought for my phone. And 00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.539 I'm clearly still working out the kinks because 00:00:45.539 --> 00:00:49.200 by the time I inputted it into my audio editor, 00:00:49.380 --> 00:00:52.219 it was absolute trash. And so that's exactly 00:00:52.219 --> 00:00:54.600 where it went, the trash. So I'm going to give 00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:57.600 you kind of a shorter, abridged, maybe less ranty 00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.479 version of what I kind of was talking about in 00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:02.640 that emergency pod. But one thought I was hearing 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.840 was regarding the competition in the AFC for 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.200 the Buffalo Bills. And the thought was that most 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:10.890 teams stood pat in the conference. The Ravens 00:01:10.890 --> 00:01:14.189 made a few smaller deals, and if you haven't 00:01:14.189 --> 00:01:16.730 checked, the Colts made an absolute blockbuster, 00:01:16.790 --> 00:01:18.709 which we'll get to. But other than that, you 00:01:18.709 --> 00:01:20.950 have the Patriots, you have the Chiefs, the Steelers, 00:01:20.950 --> 00:01:23.650 the Broncos, the Chargers. All of them really 00:01:23.650 --> 00:01:26.790 didn't do anything. They kind of did zippo. So 00:01:26.790 --> 00:01:28.590 the thought was, hey, the competition didn't 00:01:28.590 --> 00:01:30.530 move, so we're good. We're good. We shouldn't 00:01:30.530 --> 00:01:33.629 worry about not making a move. I'm sorry, I don't 00:01:33.629 --> 00:01:37.030 agree with that at all. In fact, I totally, totally 00:01:37.030 --> 00:01:38.950 disagree that that was the right strategy. I 00:01:38.950 --> 00:01:42.709 think this was the time to kind of jump and to 00:01:42.709 --> 00:01:44.769 separate ourselves from the rest of the pack. 00:01:44.890 --> 00:01:47.810 Distance yourself more this year than ever before 00:01:47.810 --> 00:01:51.030 and go get the Lombardi. Like, go get it. Do 00:01:51.030 --> 00:01:53.629 all you can. Push your chips in. Like, this is 00:01:53.629 --> 00:01:56.150 a year that we were supposed to go get that number 00:01:56.150 --> 00:01:58.769 one seed because... If you think back, what was 00:01:58.769 --> 00:02:00.469 the one thing we've been missing the last four 00:02:00.469 --> 00:02:03.349 playoff runs was that number one seed. We had 00:02:03.349 --> 00:02:05.430 an easy schedule. It was kind of all laid out 00:02:05.430 --> 00:02:07.959 for us. And the one thing that we've missed, 00:02:08.020 --> 00:02:10.080 like I said, the last four years is that number 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.219 one seed. So to sit back and do nothing and to 00:02:13.219 --> 00:02:15.659 not get further ahead of that competition, I 00:02:15.659 --> 00:02:19.099 really think it was a huge miss. A huge miss. 00:02:19.259 --> 00:02:22.199 And now as a result, I think it makes the Buffalo 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.639 Bills margin for error so much smaller. Because 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.879 God forbid we suffer more injuries or significant 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.039 injuries, I think we are in big, big trouble. 00:02:32.379 --> 00:02:35.360 So let's talk about Kincaid. If he re -aggravates 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.719 his oblique or, God forbid, Shakir goes down, 00:02:37.819 --> 00:02:40.539 I think the offense is toast. I've discussed 00:02:40.539 --> 00:02:43.240 the offensive triangle, and it made me think 00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:45.979 of, if you all remember the Jordan teams, the 00:02:45.979 --> 00:02:48.539 Bulls, Chicago Bulls teams of the 90s, they ran 00:02:48.539 --> 00:02:50.580 an offense called the triangle offense. And I 00:02:50.580 --> 00:02:53.840 kind of think, well, obviously it doesn't. necessarily 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:55.680 it's not a one -for -one translation but the 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.699 bills run a triangle offense uh with josh allen 00:02:59.699 --> 00:03:01.919 james cook and dalton kincaid these are the three 00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:04.500 that make the offense go they simply make it 00:03:04.500 --> 00:03:08.199 move and if one of those pieces is gone then 00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:10.360 it doesn't work so smoothly so we've seen what 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.979 happens when kincaid is out of the lineup for 00:03:12.979 --> 00:03:15.620 weeks at a time it's not smooth it's not efficient 00:03:15.620 --> 00:03:18.580 and nothing seems to work right so yeah i do 00:03:18.580 --> 00:03:21.400 look at those three as the key components and 00:03:21.710 --> 00:03:24.330 If he re -aggravates that oblique, because we 00:03:24.330 --> 00:03:26.530 know historically, I know he's only been in the 00:03:26.530 --> 00:03:28.770 league a couple of years, but he has an injury 00:03:28.770 --> 00:03:31.250 history already. So we didn't do anything to 00:03:31.250 --> 00:03:34.800 ensure help if one of those guys goes down. But 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:36.800 the way I look at this, it seems like Brandon 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.659 Bean is treating returning injured players as 00:03:39.659 --> 00:03:42.719 trade deadline acquisitions. Now, I know he had 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:44.000 a press conference, and we'll get to that in 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.780 a minute, but I kind of think that this is a 00:03:46.780 --> 00:03:48.580 big mistake. I think he's looking at Josh Palmer. 00:03:48.699 --> 00:03:50.460 I think he's looking at Gabe Davis, Daquan Jones 00:03:50.460 --> 00:03:53.360 as reinforcements to the wide receiver room and 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:56.530 to the defensive line. So people assumed that 00:03:56.530 --> 00:03:59.110 we were going to pivot with the trade, with the 00:03:59.110 --> 00:04:01.969 trade focus. After losing Hoyt and Oliver, people 00:04:01.969 --> 00:04:04.229 assumed we were going to pivot and go get D -line 00:04:04.229 --> 00:04:06.689 help at the deadline, which I would have been 00:04:06.689 --> 00:04:08.650 completely fine with. I would have understood 00:04:08.650 --> 00:04:10.509 the move. I would have been fine with. But instead, 00:04:10.669 --> 00:04:13.909 we get nothing, zip. Then people looked at the 00:04:13.909 --> 00:04:17.029 Falcons and the Patriot game, and everyone on 00:04:17.029 --> 00:04:19.149 the earth, everyone on the planet, everyone who 00:04:19.149 --> 00:04:21.209 follows the NFL, specifically the Buffalo Bills, 00:04:21.290 --> 00:04:23.310 everyone was screaming that we needed wide receiver 00:04:23.310 --> 00:04:26.120 reinforcements. And everyone's clamoring for 00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.800 a big, huge trade. I have been talking about 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.540 this for weeks, a big, huge trade at wide receiver. 00:04:31.699 --> 00:04:34.379 And the rumor was that there were wide receivers 00:04:34.379 --> 00:04:38.100 available for the right price. So you had names 00:04:38.100 --> 00:04:41.160 like Chris Alave, you had Waddle from Miami, 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.060 and you had Brian Thomas Jr. from the Jacksonville 00:04:44.060 --> 00:04:47.139 Jaguars. These three were rumored to be available, 00:04:47.220 --> 00:04:50.540 but yet, once again, we got absolutely zip. So 00:04:50.540 --> 00:04:52.860 I can only explain this in one of two ways. Either 00:04:52.860 --> 00:04:55.779 Brandon Bean truly believes that Palmer and Davis 00:04:55.779 --> 00:04:59.199 can be the solution and will help this wide receiver 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.420 core eventually when they're healthy, when they're 00:05:01.420 --> 00:05:04.600 on the field. Or he just doesn't really want 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:07.040 to admit he was wrong in the offseason. And he 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.139 doesn't really want to dive deeper into position. 00:05:09.300 --> 00:05:11.399 Now, maybe he softened. Maybe he backed off this 00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:12.879 with the press conference. And if you listen 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:14.800 to the press conference, he was adamant that 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.639 he had players that he tried to trade for. And 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.100 he thought he had potential deals in place. Whether 00:05:21.100 --> 00:05:23.519 they were for a wide receiver or not, we will 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:25.540 never know. But you would like to think that 00:05:25.540 --> 00:05:29.839 that was the case. I don't know. I really don't 00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:31.660 know. But either way, I just don't get either 00:05:31.660 --> 00:05:34.560 explanation, to be honest, because, yes, I know 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:36.379 a couple things. I know it takes two to tango. 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.060 I know you need a trade partner. But as I said, 00:05:39.139 --> 00:05:40.980 these rumors are flying around that these players 00:05:40.980 --> 00:05:43.279 are available. So what does it come down to? 00:05:43.850 --> 00:05:46.149 It just comes down to cost and what the bills, 00:05:46.250 --> 00:05:48.310 what Buffalo Bills and Brandon Bean are willing 00:05:48.310 --> 00:05:50.670 to pay. And this brings us to the idea of draft 00:05:50.670 --> 00:05:54.009 capital. And it seems how some teams are so reluctant 00:05:54.009 --> 00:05:55.949 to part with these draft picks. Well, to me, 00:05:56.089 --> 00:05:58.069 draft picks, let's talk about draft picks for 00:05:58.069 --> 00:06:00.189 a minute. To me, they're nothing more than lotto 00:06:00.189 --> 00:06:02.089 tickets. They are essentially scratch -offs. 00:06:02.209 --> 00:06:04.529 So despite all your research, despite having 00:06:04.529 --> 00:06:07.550 teams devoted to draft prep and so -called experts, 00:06:07.790 --> 00:06:09.610 at best, it's like flipping a coin. You got a 00:06:09.610 --> 00:06:11.889 50 -50 shot of whether these players are going 00:06:11.889 --> 00:06:14.410 to pan out. And it's crazy to think about it 00:06:14.410 --> 00:06:16.370 like this. Not only that, sometimes it takes 00:06:16.370 --> 00:06:19.029 two, three, four, five years sometimes until 00:06:19.029 --> 00:06:21.009 you really know for sure whether these draft 00:06:21.009 --> 00:06:23.730 picks are going to be successful. We don't have 00:06:23.730 --> 00:06:25.750 that long to wait. And I frankly, I don't have 00:06:25.750 --> 00:06:28.110 the patience to wait for that long. So it makes 00:06:28.110 --> 00:06:29.889 no sense when you have a team that's literally 00:06:29.889 --> 00:06:32.170 knocking at the door to the Super Bowl. It makes 00:06:32.170 --> 00:06:35.069 no sense to wait years to solve a problem that 00:06:35.069 --> 00:06:37.850 you know you have right now. So as far as I'm 00:06:37.850 --> 00:06:39.810 concerned, you take all your chips, you push 00:06:39.810 --> 00:06:42.949 them in the middle of the table, and you go after 00:06:42.949 --> 00:06:45.350 it. Now let's talk about the Colts deal because 00:06:45.350 --> 00:06:47.269 I said I wanted to talk about this. The Colts 00:06:47.269 --> 00:06:48.829 deal with the Jets. They went out, they traded 00:06:48.829 --> 00:06:50.649 for Sauce Gardner, cornerback, and they gave 00:06:50.649 --> 00:06:52.689 up a big haul. They gave up two first -round 00:06:52.689 --> 00:06:54.829 draft picks, and they also traded back to the 00:06:54.829 --> 00:06:57.310 Jets. wide receiver Adonai Mitchell. Now people 00:06:57.310 --> 00:06:59.649 lost their collective minds. They trashed the 00:06:59.649 --> 00:07:02.009 Colts every direction. They trashed the Colts. 00:07:02.009 --> 00:07:04.389 Oh my God, such an overpay. And the flip side 00:07:04.389 --> 00:07:06.370 to that, what did they do? They praised the Jets. 00:07:06.449 --> 00:07:08.629 They praised the Jets for selling and getting 00:07:08.629 --> 00:07:11.930 such a victory as far as draft capital is concerned. 00:07:12.149 --> 00:07:14.550 But is this really how we should be looking at 00:07:14.550 --> 00:07:16.790 this deal? Because here's a team with the Colts. 00:07:17.129 --> 00:07:18.949 They're seven and two. They're sitting in first 00:07:18.949 --> 00:07:21.529 place right now in the AFC, in the whole conference. 00:07:21.829 --> 00:07:24.600 Yes, they probably have overachieved. thus far 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:26.740 this year but as i said they're the one seed 00:07:26.740 --> 00:07:29.019 and now they're basically in control of their 00:07:29.019 --> 00:07:32.139 own destiny here here's a team with a absolute 00:07:32.139 --> 00:07:35.000 drastic need at cornerback they saw a player 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.720 who was available who is fantastic by the way 00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:39.920 they saw a huge need they went out and they fixed 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.439 it instantly done your problem is now solved 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:46.079 so now you get a young awesome contract controlled 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.720 superstar who is now penciled into your starting 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.519 defense and has fixed the problem For the next, 00:07:51.540 --> 00:07:54.220 what, four years? This is not a Band -Aid, folks. 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.560 This is not a short -term solution. This is a 00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.439 long -term gain to your defensive side of your 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:01.240 franchise. It sounds like an awesome deal to 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.139 me, so what's the problem? We want to talk about, 00:08:03.220 --> 00:08:06.060 well, you also gave him Adonai Mitchell. How 00:08:06.060 --> 00:08:08.540 many catches does he have? I looked it up. He 00:08:08.540 --> 00:08:10.839 has nine catches on the season so far. Nine? 00:08:11.060 --> 00:08:12.800 Give me a break. Like, what are we talking about 00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:14.579 here? And the Jets, they're getting praised. 00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:17.279 They're getting praised for this move, for stockpiling 00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:19.399 draft picks. Well, now they have a billion picks 00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:21.180 in the next two years. Fantastic. That's awesome. 00:08:21.259 --> 00:08:24.079 Now you just gave away two huge cornerstones 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.779 in Sauce Gardner and Quinn and Williams, who 00:08:26.779 --> 00:08:29.720 you also traded. So two huge pieces. Now you 00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.019 have to replace them with these picks. Okay. 00:08:32.059 --> 00:08:34.990 Well, just what we talked about. These are lotto 00:08:34.990 --> 00:08:37.710 tickets. So let's say they want to go out and 00:08:37.710 --> 00:08:40.269 not necessarily use all these picks, but they 00:08:40.269 --> 00:08:42.529 want to compile some sort of package to go and 00:08:42.529 --> 00:08:44.809 get a franchise quarterback. Well, tell me which 00:08:44.809 --> 00:08:48.750 team out there is giving you a franchise quarterback. 00:08:49.009 --> 00:08:51.690 Is it the Ravens? Are they going to trade Lamar 00:08:51.690 --> 00:08:54.149 Jackson? Not a chance. Are the Chiefs going to 00:08:54.149 --> 00:08:56.529 take your first round picks and give you Patty 00:08:56.529 --> 00:08:58.470 Mahomes? Are the Bills going to trade you Josh 00:08:58.470 --> 00:09:02.299 Allen? There's no chance. So what now? We've 00:09:02.299 --> 00:09:04.980 seen historically the Jets have drafted great 00:09:04.980 --> 00:09:08.480 players. And what has happened? They end up right 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.120 back in this situation because they're a trash 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.620 franchise that has no direction. And they end 00:09:13.620 --> 00:09:15.919 up right back here every few years selling off 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.879 their great players that they can't seem to build 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:23.600 around. And now they go draft again or they stockpile 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.220 these draft picks again. And they're setting 00:09:26.220 --> 00:09:28.240 their cycle back another three, four, five years. 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.500 I mean, there's a reason. If you've hopped on 00:09:31.500 --> 00:09:33.340 social media in the last few weeks, you see these 00:09:33.340 --> 00:09:36.080 videos of these young Jets fans, like teenage 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:39.879 boys, younger, like young kids. And there are 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:41.860 Jets fans coming out of games and they're like. 00:09:42.169 --> 00:09:44.490 telling the camera oh my gosh i hate this team 00:09:44.490 --> 00:09:46.110 and they're crying and they're like losing their 00:09:46.110 --> 00:09:48.809 minds because their team is a joke the jets are 00:09:48.809 --> 00:09:51.409 a laughingstock so i don't get the praise you're 00:09:51.409 --> 00:09:54.230 gonna praise this team for trading away two cornerstone 00:09:54.230 --> 00:09:57.370 defensive superstars makes no sense for unproven 00:09:57.370 --> 00:10:00.409 lotto tickets yeah i get the rebuild but this 00:10:00.409 --> 00:10:02.909 is all this team does year after year decade 00:10:02.909 --> 00:10:05.570 after decade it seems like is hit the reset button 00:10:05.570 --> 00:10:09.200 so We have this idea where we fall in love with 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.259 draft capital. And to me, like I said, it's nothing 00:10:11.259 --> 00:10:13.220 more than lotto tickets. So you're telling me 00:10:13.220 --> 00:10:17.340 I could have gotten Jalen Waddell from the Dolphins 00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:19.879 for a first and something else? Okay, Miami, 00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:21.759 I'm listening. Tell me what that something else 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:23.720 is because now I'm sitting at the table waiting 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.600 to see what this negotiation is going to lead 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:29.460 to. And maybe you won't ever trade in the division. 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:31.200 Maybe you won't trade to the Bills. Okay, no 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:34.159 problem. What if the same deal is on the table 00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:36.299 with the Saints and Chris Olave? What if the 00:10:36.299 --> 00:10:39.159 same deal is on the table with the Jaguars to 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:42.600 get Brian Thomas Jr.? Now you have proven, young, 00:10:42.779 --> 00:10:45.799 fantastic wide receivers who are not just a season 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.159 rental, but these players will be on your team, 00:10:48.179 --> 00:10:50.419 not just through the end of this season, but 00:10:50.419 --> 00:10:53.860 for next year as well. And in the case of Brian 00:10:53.860 --> 00:10:56.539 Thomas, another year after that, I mean, what 00:10:56.539 --> 00:10:59.120 are we talking about here? It's just like the 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:01.399 Colts situation. Diagnose where your problems 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:04.220 are and go fix your problem. And maybe you can 00:11:04.220 --> 00:11:07.259 even sign him to extensions. In the case of Olave, 00:11:07.259 --> 00:11:09.279 I think you have this season, next season, and 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.279 then sign him to an extension. Pony up to the 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:13.639 table, make it happen. So you're telling me I 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.320 could have an offense of the triangle, obviously, 00:11:16.379 --> 00:11:19.039 but then you could have Cook, Kincaid, Shakir, 00:11:19.100 --> 00:11:23.200 and either Olave, Waddle, or Brian Thomas Jr.? 00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:25.559 Yes, please. I will stack those four up against 00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:28.700 any other team in the AFC. Absolutely. I would 00:11:28.700 --> 00:11:31.419 stack it up right now. So you want to talk about 00:11:31.419 --> 00:11:33.840 frustrating? That's an understatement. I was 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:36.139 extremely, extremely frustrated Tuesday night. 00:11:36.220 --> 00:11:38.500 And I've heard the same thoughts and comments 00:11:38.500 --> 00:11:41.389 from other Bills fans. other mafia members so 00:11:41.389 --> 00:11:44.129 anyway that's kind of what my thoughts were on 00:11:44.129 --> 00:11:46.169 the whole trade it's just very frustrating but 00:11:46.169 --> 00:11:49.029 let's get into this week 10 game preview and 00:11:49.029 --> 00:11:50.570 let's start with some news and notes the power 00:11:50.570 --> 00:11:52.490 rankings you know how i love talking about the 00:11:52.490 --> 00:11:54.350 power rankings they are out after nine weeks 00:11:54.350 --> 00:11:57.110 of football and what do we have here folks so 00:11:57.110 --> 00:11:59.629 after beating the kansas city chiefs 28 to 21 00:11:59.629 --> 00:12:02.429 last sunday afternoon in orchard park espn of 00:12:02.429 --> 00:12:05.549 all places shot the bills out of a freaking cannon 00:12:05.549 --> 00:12:07.610 and they zoomed all the way up to the rankings 00:12:07.610 --> 00:12:10.240 to the top spot. That's right, the Bills are 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:13.480 sitting at number one on the ESPN NFL Power Rankings. 00:12:13.500 --> 00:12:15.259 I was kind of shocked when I found this out. 00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:17.320 Now, other publications, I've seen them at two, 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.000 I've seen them at four, I've seen them as low 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:21.659 as five. Bottom line, you beat an absolutely 00:12:21.659 --> 00:12:24.139 rolling Chiefs team and you're going to get rewarded 00:12:24.139 --> 00:12:27.279 in the Power Rankings. What else? We just talked 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:30.059 about the lack of trades by the Bills, but it 00:12:30.059 --> 00:12:32.100 doesn't mean that the Bills have not been active. 00:12:32.340 --> 00:12:35.100 Hey, buckle up for your dose of excitement. Are 00:12:35.100 --> 00:12:38.220 you ready? Because guess what? Defensive tackle 00:12:38.220 --> 00:12:41.320 Fadarian Mathis has signed and was brought up 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:44.059 from the practice squad to the active roster. 00:12:44.340 --> 00:12:47.259 We excited yet? Anyone like jumping out of their 00:12:47.259 --> 00:12:50.120 seats? I know I am. But if that doesn't get you 00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:53.740 fired up, how about signing former Bill Kingsley 00:12:53.740 --> 00:12:56.179 -Jonathan? Defensive end Kingsley -Jonathan. 00:12:56.220 --> 00:12:58.559 Who's excited for that one? Anyone? Anyone? How 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.860 about defensive back Takori Couch? Well, Couch 00:13:01.860 --> 00:13:03.840 and Jonathan were both signed to the practice 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.379 squad. So are we fired up yet? Does that help 00:13:07.379 --> 00:13:09.580 anyone recover from the lack of moves at the 00:13:09.580 --> 00:13:12.320 deadline? Anyone? No, I didn't think so. And 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.419 so what did they do to make space on the practice 00:13:14.419 --> 00:13:16.899 squad? They cut everyone's favorite HBO Hard 00:13:16.899 --> 00:13:20.059 Knocks highlight film, Jimmy Charlo. So say goodbye 00:13:20.059 --> 00:13:23.120 to the military man. He is no longer on the practice 00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:24.940 squad. Brandon Bean, I talked about this earlier. 00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:27.639 He held a press conference Wednesday to discuss 00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:29.879 the trade deadline and the state of the team. 00:13:30.649 --> 00:13:32.169 He said some of the same things we already talked 00:13:32.169 --> 00:13:33.990 about. He said, you know, he was disappointed. 00:13:34.210 --> 00:13:36.629 He was kind of, he kind of went home upset, mad, 00:13:36.710 --> 00:13:39.509 mad as a fan, but he kind of reiterated, hey, 00:13:39.570 --> 00:13:41.610 it takes two to tango and teams weren't just, 00:13:41.669 --> 00:13:43.889 weren't willing to move guys. He made it seem 00:13:43.889 --> 00:13:45.909 like they had deals in place and things were 00:13:45.909 --> 00:13:48.629 ready to move to free up cap space, had certain 00:13:48.629 --> 00:13:50.269 things falling into place. But at the end of 00:13:50.269 --> 00:13:53.230 the day, he made a comment that he kept talking 00:13:53.230 --> 00:13:55.750 about how this isn't fantasy football. I know 00:13:55.750 --> 00:13:57.710 a lot of people aren't bothered by this. I don't 00:13:57.710 --> 00:14:00.659 know. I don't love it. when the GM comes out 00:14:00.659 --> 00:14:04.360 and tells the general public that it's not fantasy 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:07.000 football. Because to me, that's kind of condescending, 00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:09.580 and it's almost like he's talking down to us, 00:14:09.620 --> 00:14:11.000 like, well, you don't know how hard this job 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:14.220 is. Yeah, I get it. I understand. No one has 00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:17.019 ever said that this is fantasy football. I understand 00:14:17.019 --> 00:14:20.639 that there's roster construction and salary and 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.039 the cap and all this stuff and long -term ramifications. 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:26.940 I get it, but... You don't need to tell me that 00:14:26.940 --> 00:14:29.279 this isn't fantasy football because comments 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:31.360 like that just make me kind of annoyed. Anyway, 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.639 he goes on to say the trade deadline is hard. 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:35.759 And what's the fit? Where's the mental capacity 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:37.940 of the player? How are they going to be involved 00:14:37.940 --> 00:14:41.220 in the team? And it's just like, does GM speak? 00:14:41.620 --> 00:14:44.559 And yeah, I get it. I listened to it a couple 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:46.159 of times. And the first time I kind of got annoyed. 00:14:46.299 --> 00:14:48.279 And the second time I kind of calmed down a little 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:50.700 bit. But I just get kind of tired of the GM speak. 00:14:51.019 --> 00:14:52.860 And it seems like there's this condescending 00:14:52.860 --> 00:14:55.970 attitude towards the... The commoners, if you 00:14:55.970 --> 00:14:58.590 will. And I understand that we don't know all 00:14:58.590 --> 00:15:00.809 the ins and outs of running a franchise. Trust 00:15:00.809 --> 00:15:03.090 me. This idea that what's the fit and what's 00:15:03.090 --> 00:15:04.889 their mental capacity? These are professional 00:15:04.889 --> 00:15:08.590 athletes. So tell me how Olave or Waddle or Brian 00:15:08.590 --> 00:15:10.789 Thomas, who are some of the best receivers in 00:15:10.789 --> 00:15:13.289 the league, tell me how that they would struggle 00:15:13.289 --> 00:15:16.570 mentally to fit in with Josh Allen. I don't buy 00:15:16.570 --> 00:15:18.629 that for a second. But anyway, let's move on. 00:15:18.710 --> 00:15:21.460 The Dolphins. Here's a team on the opposite end 00:15:21.460 --> 00:15:23.539 of the spectrum. They recently fired their general 00:15:23.539 --> 00:15:26.159 manager. They have already moved on, traded past 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:29.360 rusher Jalen Phillips to the Eagles for a third 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:31.519 round pick. And you want to talk about active 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:33.879 general managers. Well, here's the Eagles yet 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.080 again, proving year after year that a couple 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:39.419 of things, deals can be made regardless of the 00:15:39.419 --> 00:15:41.080 cap. So we want to talk about cap implications. 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:45.000 It seems like this guy, Howie Roseman, the GM 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:47.710 of the Eagles. It's almost like they don't even 00:15:47.710 --> 00:15:49.929 have a cap because he's making moves like this 00:15:49.929 --> 00:15:52.389 year after year. It just seems like he has literally 00:15:52.389 --> 00:15:55.690 stockpiling talent on a roster that is already 00:15:55.690 --> 00:15:58.450 loaded. I mean, they just won the Super Bowl, 00:15:58.509 --> 00:16:00.330 for God's sakes, and he's out there going out 00:16:00.330 --> 00:16:02.889 and just getting more talent, especially on the 00:16:02.889 --> 00:16:05.429 defensive side, to just be dominating on that 00:16:05.429 --> 00:16:07.129 side of the ball. And it kind of makes me want 00:16:07.129 --> 00:16:09.750 to be sick. So it can be done. I don't want to 00:16:09.750 --> 00:16:14.049 hear it can't be done. Jalen for a third -round 00:16:14.049 --> 00:16:16.710 pick, big whoop. I would do that deal in a heartbeat. 00:16:16.970 --> 00:16:18.529 Anyway, back to this game. This is a big game 00:16:18.529 --> 00:16:20.830 for the Bills. We need to keep the positive production 00:16:20.830 --> 00:16:25.169 on the field anyway because we know nobody's 00:16:25.169 --> 00:16:27.210 too happy about the off -field positive production, 00:16:27.389 --> 00:16:29.389 but we need to keep the on -field production 00:16:29.389 --> 00:16:31.809 moving in the right direction. We need to get 00:16:31.809 --> 00:16:34.029 down to Miami. We need to take over Hard Rock 00:16:34.029 --> 00:16:35.570 Stadium. I think it's going to be rocking with 00:16:35.570 --> 00:16:38.649 Bills fans. They're very fair weather fans down 00:16:38.649 --> 00:16:41.250 in Miami. Once the Dolphins are pretty much out 00:16:41.250 --> 00:16:43.909 of it, which was what, week four, week five, 00:16:44.070 --> 00:16:47.250 they are pretty quick to sell their tickets. 00:16:47.470 --> 00:16:49.470 And so I think we need to get down there, take 00:16:49.470 --> 00:16:51.330 over the stadium, take advantage of this Dolphin 00:16:51.330 --> 00:16:53.909 team that appears to kind of be in a bit of disarray 00:16:53.909 --> 00:16:56.669 coming off the heels of a 28 -6 defeat at the 00:16:56.669 --> 00:16:59.929 hands of the Baltimore Ravens. So injuries, let's 00:16:59.929 --> 00:17:02.149 switch our attention to injuries for the Buffalo 00:17:02.149 --> 00:17:05.289 Bills. There's kind of a lot going on. I don't 00:17:05.289 --> 00:17:07.730 really want to overreact on a Thursday, but it 00:17:07.730 --> 00:17:10.930 seems like this list is kind of growing and it's 00:17:10.930 --> 00:17:14.289 a little bit scary. So Christian Benford today 00:17:14.289 --> 00:17:16.730 did not practice. He was limited on Wednesday. 00:17:16.849 --> 00:17:18.930 Now today's did not practice. He's got a groin 00:17:18.930 --> 00:17:22.349 injury. This isn't good. I think if he's a DNP 00:17:22.349 --> 00:17:24.490 today, I'm not sure that they're going to risk 00:17:24.490 --> 00:17:27.269 it and put him in the lineup against what their 00:17:27.269 --> 00:17:30.500 one offensive. pass catcher in Waddle. So it 00:17:30.500 --> 00:17:32.660 would not shock me at all if he misses this game. 00:17:32.740 --> 00:17:35.559 Joshua Palmer. Hey, stop me if you've heard this 00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:38.599 before. Joshua Palmer has limited participation 00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:43.140 in practice. Not sure what his availability will 00:17:43.140 --> 00:17:46.180 be for Sunday. Joey Bosa, he's dealing with a 00:17:46.180 --> 00:17:48.339 wrist injury. Now, I was at the game, and I kept 00:17:48.339 --> 00:17:50.599 keying in on Bosa, and he kept shaking his arm 00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:53.200 out, so this does not surprise me at all. Yesterday, 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:55.900 he did not practice. On Wednesday, today, Thursday, 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.299 he is limited. We shall see what happens. Hopefully, 00:17:58.460 --> 00:18:00.660 he's moving in the right direction. James Cook, 00:18:00.819 --> 00:18:03.140 also Wednesday, he did not practice, but today, 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:05.400 he was out there in a limited capacity. He was 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:09.240 on some TV show, some NFL show. I can't remember 00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:11.839 who he was on, but he assured that he would be 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.079 good to go for Sunday. AJ Epinesa, now this one 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.099 is a little scary because he has not practiced 00:18:18.099 --> 00:18:20.700 all week because of the concussion. And this 00:18:20.700 --> 00:18:22.920 is, you know, he's got to go through the mandatory. 00:18:23.710 --> 00:18:26.730 protocol to be cleared for for the game it wouldn't 00:18:26.730 --> 00:18:28.950 shock me if he also does not play Taron Johnson 00:18:28.950 --> 00:18:31.910 he was limited today after not practicing yesterday 00:18:31.910 --> 00:18:34.289 he's got a groin injury as well Daquan Jones 00:18:34.289 --> 00:18:36.789 now he did not practice Wednesday but Thursday 00:18:36.789 --> 00:18:39.349 he was in a limited capacity hopefully he is 00:18:39.349 --> 00:18:41.190 moving in the right direction dealing with that 00:18:41.190 --> 00:18:44.309 calf issue and Shaq Thompson uh dealing with 00:18:44.309 --> 00:18:46.349 the hamstring so yeah that's a lot going on a 00:18:46.349 --> 00:18:48.690 lot a lot going on it would not shock me if a 00:18:48.690 --> 00:18:50.890 lot of these players are just completely inactive 00:18:50.890 --> 00:18:55.680 and they don't risk it but Like I just got done 00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:57.380 saying after the trade deadline, there is no 00:18:57.380 --> 00:19:00.440 room for error. So you can't sit all these guys. 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:04.059 So it'll be interesting to see who is ready to 00:19:04.059 --> 00:19:07.559 roll on Sunday afternoon. For the Dolphins, Russell 00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:11.619 Douglas. He did not practice. They have Chop 00:19:11.619 --> 00:19:13.799 Robertson. Those are probably the two big names 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:16.420 on the defensive side of the ball. Chop Robertson, 00:19:16.420 --> 00:19:18.500 he's also in the concussion protocol. And Russell 00:19:18.500 --> 00:19:20.539 Douglas is dealing with an ankle foot injury. 00:19:20.779 --> 00:19:24.230 Bradley Chubb. He has been limited in practice 00:19:24.230 --> 00:19:27.410 this week. He's got a foot injury going on, and 00:19:27.410 --> 00:19:31.009 that about covers their big main players. Let's 00:19:31.009 --> 00:19:33.289 talk themes, some storylines heading into the 00:19:33.289 --> 00:19:35.289 game. Can the Bills offense, can they keep it 00:19:35.289 --> 00:19:38.309 rolling in Miami against the Dolphins? The passing 00:19:38.309 --> 00:19:41.099 game got back on track. against Kansas City and 00:19:41.099 --> 00:19:43.599 the Chiefs and saw Josh Allen set a franchise 00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:46.460 record for a new high completion percentage in 00:19:46.460 --> 00:19:50.500 the game. He had an 88 .5 % completion percentage, 00:19:50.619 --> 00:19:53.779 which is kind of crazy. He threw for 273 yards, 00:19:53.900 --> 00:19:56.579 and frankly, he was damn near perfect. And the 00:19:56.579 --> 00:19:59.099 one ball, Jackson Hawes, we talked about it at 00:19:59.099 --> 00:20:00.980 the last podcast. Jackson Hawes, he should have 00:20:00.980 --> 00:20:02.839 caught it, but he threw it so freaking hard it 00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:05.460 almost took his head off. But the offense needs 00:20:05.460 --> 00:20:08.440 to keep rolling. If Palmer is ready to go, I 00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:10.759 say we try to slowly incorporate him back in 00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:13.480 the mix, get him some playing time if he's good. 00:20:13.619 --> 00:20:15.480 But as we talked about with the injuries, he's 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.319 still in a limited capacity. And then the red 00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:21.559 flag is the Cook ankle injury. You know, it's 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:24.359 one of these things. Do we risk having that ankle 00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:27.579 aggravated or re -aggravated in a game that... 00:20:27.789 --> 00:20:30.250 We should hopefully be able to win, but I don't 00:20:30.250 --> 00:20:32.730 know. These Dolphins can be pesky, and it seems 00:20:32.730 --> 00:20:36.410 like they stick around way too long when we play 00:20:36.410 --> 00:20:38.210 them. But it's definitely something to focus 00:20:38.210 --> 00:20:41.029 on as we get closer to the game. I say you play 00:20:41.029 --> 00:20:43.190 him. If he's available, you get out to a lead, 00:20:43.309 --> 00:20:45.400 and then you sit everybody and get... get the 00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:47.500 key players off the field because we're going 00:20:47.500 --> 00:20:49.559 to need him probably more than anyone else down 00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:51.259 the stretch outside of Josh Allen. What else? 00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:53.519 The Bills have owned the Dolphins over the last 00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:55.880 few years. They are looking for their eighth 00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:59.220 straight big dub over this team. You've probably 00:20:59.220 --> 00:21:00.759 seen the memes. You've probably seen the shirts. 00:21:00.980 --> 00:21:03.000 It's one of my favorites. It shows Josh Allen 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:06.579 cradling like a baby dolphin. He's feeding it 00:21:06.579 --> 00:21:09.220 with a baby bottle. I love that picture. We need 00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:11.559 to see Allen continue to dominate the Dolphins 00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:14.660 and keep that train rolling. Let's get it. dub 00:21:14.660 --> 00:21:17.240 eight eight straight over this team that would 00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:19.240 be great the dolphins are coming into this game 00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:21.859 they have a little extra rest kind of a mini 00:21:21.859 --> 00:21:25.039 baked in by uh they played last on the thursday 00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.839 night game against the ravens and they got smoked 00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:30.940 we already talked about it 28 to 6 this gives 00:21:30.940 --> 00:21:33.579 them a huge rest advantage but hopefully it doesn't 00:21:33.579 --> 00:21:35.839 really hurt the bills chances of winning this 00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:39.640 game coach mike mctaniel i love listening to 00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:41.740 his press conferences or at least trying to get 00:21:42.009 --> 00:21:44.549 catch some of the sound bites. He was asked, 00:21:44.630 --> 00:21:45.910 if you all haven't seen this, this is pretty 00:21:45.910 --> 00:21:49.410 funny. He was asked Wednesday why they keep losing 00:21:49.410 --> 00:21:52.210 to the Bills and he provided this fan -freaking 00:21:52.210 --> 00:21:54.789 -tastic answer. Quote, they've beaten us because 00:21:54.789 --> 00:21:57.690 they've scored more points and done the right 00:21:57.690 --> 00:22:00.029 football things longer than we have in those 00:22:00.029 --> 00:22:03.390 games. That's what he said. They've beaten us 00:22:03.390 --> 00:22:05.329 because they've scored more points and they've 00:22:05.329 --> 00:22:11.210 done more football things right. I love his soundbites. 00:22:11.430 --> 00:22:13.569 He's to the point now where he just seems like 00:22:13.569 --> 00:22:15.990 he doesn't give a crap about anything. You got 00:22:15.990 --> 00:22:18.430 to respect him for coming out and just giving 00:22:18.430 --> 00:22:20.789 you these golden nuggets and his willingness 00:22:20.789 --> 00:22:23.890 to provide epic soundbites to the media. It's 00:22:23.890 --> 00:22:25.950 just fantastic. I really hope he does not get 00:22:25.950 --> 00:22:28.430 fired this offseason because I want to see this 00:22:28.430 --> 00:22:30.609 train wreck continue forever. All right, let's 00:22:30.609 --> 00:22:32.589 move and turn our attention to X factors to the 00:22:32.589 --> 00:22:34.819 game. Let's start with the defense. D -line, 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:36.660 once again, in the middle of this line, this 00:22:36.660 --> 00:22:38.740 is scary because they need to step up and cover 00:22:38.740 --> 00:22:41.599 these injuries. Hoyt, Oliver, Daquan Jones, maybe 00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:43.660 he can come back, maybe not. But the Dolphins' 00:22:43.660 --> 00:22:46.779 strength is running A -chain. A -chain is a beast. 00:22:46.900 --> 00:22:49.240 And if he gets going, specifically, he can carve 00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:51.400 it up right in the middle of the D -line. So 00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:53.500 it's time to go next man up kind of mentality. 00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:56.680 We need to get after it. He can be extremely 00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:58.819 dangerous if he gets going early, so we need 00:22:58.819 --> 00:23:01.279 to look to keep him in check. And what else? 00:23:01.299 --> 00:23:03.319 We have to contain their only passing threat, 00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:05.299 which is Waddle. Outside of him and A -Chain, 00:23:05.380 --> 00:23:07.700 there's nothing that scares me on this offense. 00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:10.119 Lock him down just like we locked down Xavier 00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:12.460 Worthy, Rashi Rice last week, and we should be 00:23:12.460 --> 00:23:14.740 good because, in my opinion, Tua does not have 00:23:14.740 --> 00:23:17.440 the ability to take over a game. Slow down these 00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:19.359 two weapons, and frankly, it should be over. 00:23:20.099 --> 00:23:22.799 Offensively, someone else outside of Kincaid, 00:23:23.230 --> 00:23:26.049 James Cook, Khalil, Shakir, someone else outside 00:23:26.049 --> 00:23:28.549 of these guys needs to step up. I'm looking for 00:23:28.549 --> 00:23:32.329 someone, anybody else on this roster, on this 00:23:32.329 --> 00:23:34.450 offense. specifically in the wide receiver room, 00:23:34.529 --> 00:23:37.289 anybody else, we need to establish some other 00:23:37.289 --> 00:23:39.130 threat. Somebody else has to be ready to go. 00:23:39.210 --> 00:23:40.630 And I'm not just talking about a random catch 00:23:40.630 --> 00:23:43.089 here and there, but because I know a ton of people 00:23:43.089 --> 00:23:45.089 caught one ball last week, but I'm talking about 00:23:45.089 --> 00:23:47.450 someone that the defense actually needs to start 00:23:47.450 --> 00:23:50.630 worrying about, focusing on. Is it Josh Ballmer? 00:23:50.690 --> 00:23:53.509 Can he get on the field? Can Curtis Samuel contribute 00:23:53.509 --> 00:23:56.190 literally anything to this team at all in the 00:23:56.190 --> 00:23:58.809 last few years? I mean, come on, let's go. You 00:23:58.809 --> 00:24:01.809 see the meme of the guy, the hand drawn. character 00:24:01.809 --> 00:24:03.430 and he's like poking the stick at something, 00:24:03.589 --> 00:24:05.650 trying to get it to move and wake up. It's time 00:24:05.650 --> 00:24:07.450 for someone else in this wide receiver room to 00:24:07.450 --> 00:24:10.150 move. It's time to go. Let's go. What else? Special 00:24:10.150 --> 00:24:12.430 teams coverage unit. You need to button it up. 00:24:12.470 --> 00:24:14.990 Last week, I was not impressed watching the Chiefs 00:24:14.990 --> 00:24:17.349 start nearly every drive on the, around the 40, 00:24:17.410 --> 00:24:19.569 45 yard line. We got to tighten this up. Matt 00:24:19.569 --> 00:24:21.769 Prater, time to bounce back. No more bouncing 00:24:21.769 --> 00:24:24.170 stuff off the goalpost when we can put the game 00:24:24.170 --> 00:24:26.549 away. Get a bunch to go through the uprights 00:24:26.549 --> 00:24:29.789 this week. calm everyone's fears. Nobody wants 00:24:29.789 --> 00:24:32.529 to see a kicker controversy between you and Tyler 00:24:32.529 --> 00:24:35.250 Bass. We don't want that. We don't need that 00:24:35.250 --> 00:24:36.970 right now. We need stability with our special 00:24:36.970 --> 00:24:40.250 teams and y 'all got to go and show up on Sunday. 00:24:40.869 --> 00:24:43.029 All right, let's move on to the stress meter. 00:24:43.109 --> 00:24:46.250 After last week's stress meter, I think it broke 00:24:46.250 --> 00:24:49.930 new heights with the Chiefs game. Well, this 00:24:49.930 --> 00:24:52.670 week I am operating at a much lower level. Thank 00:24:52.670 --> 00:24:54.930 goodness. Some of these injuries scare me, but 00:24:54.930 --> 00:24:57.789 I think that even if we play it safe with most 00:24:57.789 --> 00:25:01.390 of these guys, I think we should be okay. I'm 00:25:01.390 --> 00:25:02.910 not very stressed this week. I've got to be honest 00:25:02.910 --> 00:25:05.589 with you, Mafia. I'm not that stressed and kind 00:25:05.589 --> 00:25:08.089 of happy that I'm not because after last week, 00:25:08.109 --> 00:25:11.170 I needed a break. I will tell you that the stress 00:25:11.170 --> 00:25:13.529 meter is rocking right around three and a half, 00:25:13.650 --> 00:25:16.349 three and a half, so we're not even halfway stressed. 00:25:17.069 --> 00:25:20.769 So I'm nice and cool. I'm nice and calm. I like 00:25:20.769 --> 00:25:24.869 it that way. I prefer these less stress, low 00:25:24.869 --> 00:25:27.529 stress games. Anyway, prediction time. Here we 00:25:27.529 --> 00:25:31.170 go. Bills are favored on the road by nine points 00:25:31.170 --> 00:25:34.349 in Miami at Hard Rock Stadium. It's going to 00:25:34.349 --> 00:25:36.970 be sunny. And on Sunday afternoon, the Bills 00:25:36.970 --> 00:25:38.769 will be rocking the blue jersey up top, white 00:25:38.769 --> 00:25:40.910 pants, white helmet weather. Well, it's Miami. 00:25:41.069 --> 00:25:44.190 It's November. It'll be almost perfect. 85, which 00:25:44.190 --> 00:25:45.930 might be a little hot on the field for them. 00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:48.619 Nothing like playing down there in September, 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:50.960 so they should be just fine. I'm not going to 00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:52.980 waste any time on this and overthink it. I think 00:25:52.980 --> 00:25:54.640 the Bills will win. I think they cover the nine 00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:57.160 points. I have them winning this game 31 -18. 00:25:57.359 --> 00:25:59.779 I think they're going to move on to 7 -2. They're 00:25:59.779 --> 00:26:01.420 going to come home to Orchard Park, and they're 00:26:01.420 --> 00:26:03.140 going to get ready for a big matchup against 00:26:03.140 --> 00:26:06.220 Baker, Baker, Touchdown, Maker, Mayfield, and 00:26:06.220 --> 00:26:08.359 the Tampa Bay Bucs. So there you have it, folks. 00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:11.099 Thanks for tuning in to the 3Ts and this special 00:26:11.099 --> 00:26:14.299 Week 10 game preview.
