A station guaranteed human.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Play action pass dancing out to his right in trouble
and hit from behind by Bosa. The ball is out,
it is scooped up, it is run in for a
Buffalo Bills touchdown. Christian Benford scooped it up, and one
play into the second half, the Bills have taken the league.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
The Steelers have come out in the second half with
the ball six times this year. They have done nothing
four times, run the ball, one interception, one fumble return
(00:47):
for a touchdown. They are the worst third quarter team
in the league. Maybe in the history of the sport.
I can't imagine that anybody's ever been worse. Mister Wednesday,
Jeff Conkle joining us on the DV morning show on
a Monday here, and you were at the game?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Were you even back in your seat for that play?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
I was, And I've never so like I've that crowd
was hyped up, like going into that game, like there
is palpable good good high holiday crowd.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Holiday crowd four to.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Twenty five games a fun one because it's not so
late that it's like making people stressed out having to
go to work the next day, right, but also just
enough nighttime that you can kind of get your little
your little night time on, you know, your your little gremlin,
your inner gremlin comes out.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Well, the build up of tailgating is much easier. You
don't have to get there at nine am to get
three hours in. You can get there at you know,
one o'clock and have a three hour pre game.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah, and there's.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Tons of chanting on the way into the stadium and
every like that. So I went with my neighbor Frank,
and I was like, I was like, this is gonna
be a good game. This crowd is is hyped up.
And for the most part, it was a pretty good game.
I mean, they had Lynn Swan come out, wave the
terrible towel, everything like that that got the crowd pretty
hyped up. Retreating into halftime, and then I don't I
(02:07):
it was a blur, like I don't even know what
exactly happened. I just looked back up and it was
it was like, what was the score? Was it twenty
four to seven at the end of half, at the
end of.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
At the end of the third quarter, it was.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
No, it was twenty three yea, yeah, the end of.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
The well, no, they it was the a minute into
the fourth quarter they scored to make it twenty three seven.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Twenty three seven, that's that's so.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
There was fourteen minutes left in the game and they
were down twenty three seven. It was It was a
that third quarter might go down in history as one
of the suckiest sucks to ever suck three yards rushing.
It was atrocious. And that really offense that really threw
the Mason pick. Like when Mason came in, there was
like a little bit of life. It was like, Okay,
here's our real guy. And then immediately throw into triple
(02:59):
cup bridge toe tap interception and the crowd was done.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Well you would think it. You know, he comes in
the game, you put him under center. His wrists are fine,
but they hadn't prepped for that this week. So you
can't do anything that you hadn't prepped for, which is
we prepped for the one armed quarterback, and we're gonna
make our two armed quarterback one armed.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
I don't understand, like maybe Mike will be able to
illuminate me on this one, but the whole under center thing, Okay,
let's just say you didn't practice that, hasn't Isn't he
a pro NFL quarterback?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I think he can figure it out. Oh, that's what
Ben's was just talking about. It's like when it like
back in the day with Ben, you know, you could
have game planned all week long and if it wasn't
working by the end of the first half, you just
went back to like whatever slinging it. But it was
you know, the crowds I've noticed this year have been
wildly schizophrenic. And there will be like there, right before
(03:50):
the Mason Rudolph pass, we had run it or something
like that, and this guy goes.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Let Mason throw it. For God's sakes.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
The next play he throws it in a triple coverage.
He's like, why aren't we running the ball? So it's
just when you're not happy, you're not you don't make sense.
And that Steeler's crowd was not making sense. Nothing about
that game was making sense.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
When you're playing a bad run defense like the Bills,
and you have capable backs like the Steelers do, and
you put in a quarterback who's unable to utilize all
the benefits of a good running game, i e. He's
got to be in a shotgun or pistol formation the
entire game and he's handing off with not always handing
off with the you know, the hand you should be
(04:32):
handing off with. You're putting yourself at a disadvantage, Like
he should never have played this game. He's not so
good that Mason is that much of a drop up.
You took away the one thing that could beat the
Bills by putting Aaron Rodgers in there. You said he's
going to pass us to a win when the key
to victory was running the damn ball.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
I don't know. They showed Aaron Rodgers on the sideline
after he had his nose busted, and he looked like
he had done twelve Like he looked like the crowd
felt like, oh yeah, he was like the picture of
Dorian Gray somehow like that. He just like all the
energy of of the of the crowd just fed into
what he looked like in the end of the game.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
It's just rough.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Im posted a picture of the Black Knight from Monty
Python and I was like, I don't know, guys, I
feel like Aaron Rodgers can do it.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
It's just like I'll just bite you to death. It's like,
take him out. This is stupid.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Oh, imagine what kind of natural remedies he's put on
that nose last night. They're like, it's broken with at
the said and he's like, no, you don't. I'm gonna
take two coconuts and I'm gonna pound them together.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I'll be quiet, prayer, help me hold this smoldering pine
cone to my solar plexus.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Steelers are in bad shape. It's bad. I'm laugh because
it's terrible. Twenty six seven they lose. They let Buffalo
hold the ball for forty two minutes of that game.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
That was rough too, forty two to eighteen.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
It was funny because there was a decent amount of
Buffalo people at the game, and as the game wore on,
especially after the third quarter, the ratio of Blue to
Gold in the stands was absolutely palpable. Were we were
losing a lot of ranks toward toward the end. There,
very very bad. It's like Ken ken Burns could have
(06:12):
done a documentary. Yeah, like that was Lexington and Concord
and we were at the bridge just getting slaughtered.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
The Blue Shirts stayed. That's the second time we got
chased out of our stadium this year. A bad look
for the Steelers. The fire Mike Tomlin chance, you knew
this was gonna happen. We knew they were headed in
this direction after the fire Matt Canada year. I never
liked that stuff. I think that stuff looks bad on
(06:38):
a fan base. And the reason I think then, I
thought this was Matt Canada too, and I'd said it
all along. I didn't like that they were crossing the
streams and doing it at Penguins games either. The reason
I don't like it is it's like airing your dirty laundry,
you know what I mean. It just makes you look
like even more of a slappy organization when the fans
are just constantly just screaming. Now, I'm not saying there's
(07:02):
no justification for it, and I do think that unless
there's a miraculous turnaround right now for Mike Tomlin, I
don't know how the Steelers sign up for more of
this and let this guy control this coming draft and
your future destiny again when they've only showed they have
no idea how to build a team with Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I don't know that I can handle this this year.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Though.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Let's just say something happened.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Like I'm a Penn State alum, all the Penn State fans,
the situation between James Franklin and Mike Tomlin is so
similar is that he couldn't just put it over the edge,
and that seems like sort of the same.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Type of criticism. So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I think James Franklin has a much bigger argument for
not being fired than Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
But the whole point of it is is that as
a fan base, you can get rabid with subpar results.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
And then when I.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Thought it was funny, Penn State fans were like, we
need to fire James Franklin.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
And then they're like, all right, we fired James Franklin.
Like what'd you do that for?
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Like, you know, like, so now we're a drift, we
have no head coach, all of our commits are fleeing,
and so now you're staring into the chasm of oh god,
now we really have nothing.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
So but you know, it's different in college football, though,
because then you're seeing what's going on with Lane Kiffin
right now. Getting rid of James Franklin that early in
the season, initially I was like, wow, I can't believe
they gassed him with this much left in the season.
But because they did that, they made him available for
a job opening immediately, which quickly put him in the
running to land a place and reduce the amount of
(08:33):
money that the university was gonna.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Have to pay him.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So that went from what fifty million to nine million.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Yeah, like that's a huge difference for the for the
you know, nil monies that are out there for respective universities.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So I get why they did that. In the pros
it's different.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
My point though, is that you don't know what you
got till it's gone, and I that's sort of like stop,
do you know syndrome, the kind of the thing like
you fall in love with your captor. Like, maybe that's
a little bit going on too, but there always is.
You know, hey, you know maybe winning record is good
is good enough for some people. We're always in the mix,
(09:10):
but you don't like Penn States could be could be
Nebraska next year and be completely irrelevant. No, that's true,
and Steelers could fall through the same to the same
function if they follow up on this.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
They got too much money at Penn State to let
that happen.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
But yeah, no, it's starting to feel like we're in
the Symbionese Liberation arm Army or whatever Patty Hurst was in.
Because if you're making arguments that Mike Tomlin should be
given more of a chance to keep doing this. I
think you're just a little too far on the inside.
And I may have been there for a long time.
Last year was the first year where I started to go,
I don't think he's gonna do it. I remained a
fan for a long time and looking at what they
(09:46):
have achieved or what they have failed to achieve this
year again, it's like I said in the six o'clock hour, it's.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Not that they lost to the Bills, Abbey.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
It's not that they lost to the Bears or to
the Bengals three days after Flacco put on a Bengal jersey.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
It's how they do it.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
There's an inept quality to this team week in and
week out that you cannot abide if you are ownership.
In today's NFL, the game moves much quicker than it
used to. And what used to be a an asset
to say, like, oh, well we haven't changed coaches since
the moon landing.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Well that's great, but guess who has You know, the Eagles,
and they've won two super bowl since then.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
You know this is he's the Andy Reid guy. I
keep saying it whether or not he gets to he's
gonna go to this his four and twelve season. Well, maybe,
I don't know. I kind of think the game is
passing Mike Tomlin by and he's playing a very antiquated
version of the NFL. He's playing a game that doesn't
exist anymore, and he's only bringing in coaches who know
(10:51):
that there is no Ben Johnson type of guy coming
in here to say like, this is how we do it,
that this is how we down tom not happening.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
The biggest asset that we've always seen in Mike tomlin
and we saw this so well in Hard Knocks when
we were featuring that in the AFC North series, is
that he motivates players the way that he speaks to players,
like he's a player's coach. But at this point, when
you're seeing no changes over and over again and again,
(11:23):
second half just dive bombing every game, and you're seeing
defensive players that don't win their assignments, you're seeing zero
chemistry offensively, how are you speaking to your players when
postgame you're hearing the people maybe aren't going to film study,
you know, like you're okay, So now you're not connecting
to the players so now you've lost them, You've lost
your biggest asset as a coach.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
So now what do you do?
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
What is your function?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
But my whole thing is like, all right, well, obviously
unfunction capable, go function yourself?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
What team do you trust in the AFC?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Though, Like, you know, if we plant ourselves in Indianapolis
and listen to their sports talk radio, are they not
saying the same things as Baltimore not saying this is
Kansas City. Indianapolis doesn't say the same. I mean, there's
but do you trust them like they could? They could
lose it all. I mean, So what I'm saying is
like the wild inconsistencies seem to be running rampant, specifically
in the AFC. Maybe with the exception of the Patriots
(12:18):
or maybe the Bronx. Nobody's been given this long. And
that's the difference is that while there can be some
well okay, some things have to go right, we can
pull out of this. For instance, if they win the division.
The Steelers are in first place right now, they are
tied with the Raven.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
And how schizophrenic the NFL is right now?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
I can't take it, and they have to. If they
beat the Ravens on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Wait they play the Ravens of Supers. Wait the Ravens.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Oh my god, no it is, and it's there, right Jacob,
all right, So if they beat the Ravens this Sunday,
who are beatable by the way, all of a sudden,
it's back on again and Mike Tomlin could salvage this
season and his job.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I don't think that's gonna happen. I really don't.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I just don't see how this offense is scaring anybody.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
I mean, even the routes that the receivers run on
these plays just look like self defeating. There's no creativity,
no scheming to get guys open. When the middle of
the field is constantly open against the Steelers, they're never
running slants for DK, or if they are, he's not
catching it, and then starting to fight with somebody like
we traded one pain in the ass for another one.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
At least George Pickens was hilarious.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
He's a productive painting Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
I don't know. And also seeing Roman Wilson trot out
there next to Calvin Austin, I was like, the combined
height of these guys is maybe six foot three, Like
between the two of them, Like they both look teeny
weeny out there compared to everything's ten weenie.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Calvin Huston, Yeah, well he dropped one early in the
game where one of the throws Aaron Rodgers made, Calvin
Austen was unable to bring down because he's a tiny fella. Yeah,
and a quarterback in front of him is six' three,
yeah and he's you, know five to.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
EIGHT i just, YEAH i THINK i Think Darnott washington
only got targeted at least maybe like once or twice
during the.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Three times because he dropped the.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
One the other one was the interception That mason, threw
and then he did catch one he got like a
a seventeen yard game or something like. That but, yeah
it might be he might've been targeted another. TIME i don't.
KNOW i, mean but by that point in the, GAME
i was just, LIKE i can't believe it's happening like this.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Again let me tell you that not that they lost
to The, Bills, jeff it's how they.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Lose and to rub salt in the.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Wound you, know it's seven, o'clock it's, dark we're not
showing any. Life there's probably about eight minutes left in
the fourth. Quarter ten minutes left in the fourth. QUARTER
i look at my buddy And i'm, like all, RIGHT
i think we can peel out of here and let's
be some. Traffic as we're walking. Up this is off
the off the fourth down turnover on. Downs then they
hit that. Renegade the whole stadium started, laughing, like what
(15:06):
are you kidding? Me, Brother, like oh my, god it
was the.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Worst that was renegade. Abuse that was my. Opinions you
keep that in the, Box, zach read the, Room read the.
Room you cannot be trotting that out there and go.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Everything's, fine.

Today all, Right Mike pursuda joining us fresh from Yesterday's
steelers bills broadcast here on your radio home.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Of The black And gold one or two point FIVE.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
DVE i can't imagine what the tenor of the postgame
calls was like, Yesterday, mike.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
You, know not terrible about a third, Fire Mike tomlin
and the rest just. Depressing, yeah and, why you, know
what's what's going? On why is this? Happening AND i
don't have the, answer nor do.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
They.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Mike sportses are brought to you By Bridgeville. PLATZ i
will say, THIS i think any and all criticisms are
on the table at this point because that was an
off the charts awful. Performance but in response to the
game has Passed Mike tomlin by line of, thinking it
could not have been more basic What buffalo did. Yesterday
(16:58):
Buffo buffalo is one of the great.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Quarterbacks on that play you're talking about just offensively running
the running the.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
Ball they ran the, ball ran the. Ball they ran the,
Ball they ran the. Ball they were more physical and
they ran the. Ball that stuff is never going out of,
style as much as some people want to, say almost
try it. Right, okay, Yeah, okay he's in.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Charge i'm just saying What buffalo did was as basic
as it. Gets that was part of the Deflating they
ran the. Ball James cook was hitting them every Time
James cook got the, ball even in the first. Half
WAS i, mean was He he had to be averaging
nine yards of rush in the first half and it
was just just counter yards in the first.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Half, well in the first, half The bills had one
hundred and seventy six total night, yards one hundred and
twenty five, Rushing they were five and nine on third,
down they had twelve first, downs and they'd had the
ball for twenty minutes and fourteen. Seconds what saved The
steelers to that juncture was to. Turnovers so they're up
(18:01):
seven to, three and then they took care of that
by turning it over on their first two possessions of
the third, quarter and one of them ended up in
their end zone and it got ugly from. There The
steelers knew The bills were going to run yesterday At Akrosu,
stadium and they applied a variety of approaches while The
bills were.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Running they just never stopped. It HERE'S. Tj.
Speaker 8 (18:20):
Watt they were very. Effective we tried many different things
and weren't. Successful all, Right.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
They tried many different.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Things The bills were ten for seventeen on third and
fourth and The steelers were three for ten on third
and fourth. Down they extended a lot of drives on this.
Defense and To.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
Wat's point about trying a lot of, Things bills opened
in three wide receivers first, snap so The steelers went
to their, nickel because that's what you do against three wide.
Receivers cook runs for nineteen against the. NICKEL i, mean
who cares if they have three wide. Receivers who cares
to that? Fourth they don't have any wide. Receivers they
don't have any tackles to protect on. Anything it's gonna
take any amount of time to.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Throw but the unexpected matchup of the night Was Joey
porter Against James. Cook does it seem like he was
Tackling James cook all the Time.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
If he didn't have a few of those. Tackles Joey
Porter junior made some big.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Back And Sante samuel got him on the ground once
in the flat. Too they made him at four to
one on one tackles quarterbacks or it might.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Have been three hundred YARDS i, KNOW i mean it
could have been.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Worse it was the most yards rushing two hundred and
forty nine The steelers ever gave up in that.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
Stadium, yeah gotta go back to nineteen seventy. Five, uh
back to what they were trying on. Defense tomlins there
the uh the nickel got, burned as we just talked.
About on the first, snap so second, possession they go
to the base against the.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Run that's supposed to stop the.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Run Ray davis plus, Fifteen Ray davis plus twelve against the.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Base That's Ray. Davis he, uh.
Speaker 7 (19:55):
He worked the kinks out of That buffalo running, Game
Randall Ray Davis.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Davies, yeah, yeah, yeah, YEAH i like.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
IT i went a long way for that. One it's worth.
It three inside.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
Linebackers that's supposed to be an equally a depth run pass,
thing and he got some speed out there and some.
Physicality Josh allen gets out on the wing on a
bootleg and gainst six yards on first and. Ten you
get these guys in second and. Four they can keep.
Running you never got them in adverse situations where they
could just attack the nickel, again fourteen yards For, cook
(20:30):
the nickel, again eight yards For. Cook three inside linebackers didn't.
Work three outside linebackers didn't. Work so base didn't. Work
they tried everything they. Got they just weren't any good at.
It and maybe the exclamation point to, dagger however you
want to call. It third and six from The pittsburgh.
Eight in the fourth, quarter they're in the nickel And
(20:50):
alan runs a design quarterback. Run they hit him at
the three and the pile just gets shoved into the end.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Zone and.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
The problem throughout was one THAT. Tj watt had no problem.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Identifying we just need to look within. MAN i don't
want to look at any at any other.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
Examples we talk about the talent that we, have we
talk about everything that we, have but right now we
don't have a kick ass defensive.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Group and that's all THAT i can speak.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
On.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Wow, well yesterday was another historic performance by The steelers,
defense letting up the most rushing yards in agestra stadium
history have.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
A kick ass, Group and we were talking about this
stuff back In september And. October when they are flying
around and playing with emotion like we saw him playing
In dublin and seeing on a couple other occasions they're pretty,
good but they don't bring that week to week.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Well Losing harmon really hurt them on the. Line Losing
Patrick queen after that seemed to hurt them, Also.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
Yeah the horse was out of the barn by then
and Harm and if it's if Your jenga piece is one.
ROOKIE i know he's the first round rookie and he's pretty,
good but if your janga piece is a first round,
rookie that's that's fourteen. Construction that, yeah that that is
not an acceptable scenario to.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Allow you to.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
Happen we, Agree wat just said. THERE i, MEAN i
give him. Credit you usually has not much to. Say
you didn't have a ton to. Say he was pissed
on the. Sidelines you, know you're not a kick ass.
Group you say that to a defensive, player that's the
most insulting thing you can.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Say.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Right Cam hayward has already said this this.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
Year, yeah where's the you, know not enough. Fight, uh
where where's the? DISCONNECT i, mean it's it's so wildly. Inconsistent,
Well i'd think as much AS i.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Have the follow up to these postgame interviews this week
is going to be interesting, because Like, jeff you were
just pointing, out you Had Cam hayward pissed About Josh
ALLEN tj pissed about how soft the defense, Is Aaron
rodgers pissed about how nobody was on the same, page
and then calls Out john Whu smith by name and then, Mentions,
(22:59):
oh by the, way somebody's not going to meetings? Whoever that?
Is what kind of meeting that? Is is you have
to be determined, That, YEAH i get.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
It is that like an on the clock? Meeting or is, That,
hey we're gonna meet tonight and go over some stuff
and do a little extra. Work does it matter a
little homework if you're in the state that you're, in
you might have to do at elextra. Credit, YEAH i
think it does.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Matter, yeah that's.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
True if you're not showing up to team organized, activities
that's straight up, yeah treason.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Us the other one might just be considered as you,
know if.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
You're not doing the extra that's on the. Player if
you're not doing what you're supposed to be, doing that's on.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
This, yeah good point for allowing that to.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Continue, yeah, well he seemed to be calling out the,
player SO i wouldn't be surprised if it is. Extracurricular
that being, Said Aaron rodgers isn't good. Enough he's not
good enough at. All and with that, injury they put
themselves behind the eight ball for the entire. GAME i
as soon as they started pitching the, ball like this
is how we're going to run the ball, TODAY i, thought.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
How are we going to do this for the whole?
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Game is this?
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Really this was good enough when you looked at it
and practice this week like, yep he's gonna, Start we'll be.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Fine, well and you just.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Can't you can't play action effectively. Exactly and the line
has to hold the blocks. Longer like if you're under
center and you give a guy on a quick hit
or who's hole, there he can hit it if he's
six yards back and it takes longer to get.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
There and what was the way to beat The bills this?
Week mike run it down their f and? Throws then
why play the guy who doesn't allow you to.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
RUN i, know by the, way he can't even throw
that well under his curtain, circumstances it made no sense
to Play Aaron rodgers. Yesterday and whose decision was that
in retrospect it did? Not and whose decision was that
the head? Coach, okay so toss, decisions.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
All, RIGHT i mean didn't, work just saying maybe some
of it was his.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Fault you.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
Know they took the injury designation off of. Him they
said he was a full. Participant they said everything was,
fine and it was.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Not it was definitely. Not abby's got your news coming.

Dv THE Dv Morning Show Jeff, Concole Abby chrismer And
Mike persuda and Studio jacob rec. Producing you, know to
Quote Steve martin in The Jerk roll The ugliness the
top five place of the game, yesterday And mike will
start off at number five with what would be a
harbinger of things to. Come on the first play from
(27:55):
scrimmage for The Buffalo, Bills James cook tears off eighteen yards.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Handoff goes To, crook starts left and bounces back to the,
right gets around the, edge, hesitation move along the, sideline
and in the first play of the, game rips off
an eighteen yard gain out to the forty one yard.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Line or nineteen to the forty.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Two, okay, fencer, fast what it was point being gonna light?
Speaker 7 (28:24):
Yards you were, Hurry you knew it's gonna get the
ball in the first.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Play you were hoping that something went wrong there and
they would right the rudder and stop the run after
giving up an egregious huge gain to start the game
a last that would not.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Be the case at number, Four, mike.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Can you technically call something a toush push that starts
as not a touch push but ends as a touch.
Push that's a great.
Speaker 7 (28:53):
Question those pushing, involved and there was tushes and ours
were being.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Kicked Josh allen ten minutes? Left now what was the?
Fourteen this was like one minute into the fourth.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Quarter he goes right and keeps going forward and then
gets a little help at the end and he turns
it into a twenty three to seven ball, game gets
a snap back the.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Pass it's a design quarterback.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Draw allen running toward the goal, line is stood up
and still pushing and he's. In, well they stood him
up at the, three but then the scrum pushed him
over the goal line and the big quarterback rumbles in
and with that he has set a record for the
most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback IN nfl, history breaking
(29:41):
the record that he had tied With Cam. Newton and
The bills go up twenty two to. Seven do you go?
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Historic do you think sebenty six thrusting touchdown by a? Quarterback?
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Storic they stopping? There you think they kick a field?
Goal or do you think THEY i think they just
run it? Again, yeah because why wouldn't? They all, right
and it's twenty three to.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Seven you got an entire quarter basically a football to
get two scores and two two point.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Conversions if you can manage. It what could what could go? Wrong,
well at number, three this was prior to. That you,
know we're not going in chronological order, Here but When
Mason rudolph came into the, game there.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Was a little bit of hope, That, okay we have
a two wristed. Quarterback he's under the age of, forty
he's got a. Mustache what could go?
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Wrong, well he throws this first attempt at the feet
OF Dk metcalf and then somehow overthrew the tallest man
in the.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
World play action.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Pass rudolph back looking, surveying throwing left and intended For
washington and intercepted on the, overthrow and it Is bedford
who already has a. Touchdown now he comes up with
an interception at the forty four yard line of The.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
STEELERS i mean at that point it was ten Seven.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Buffalo after giving up the stripsack, touchdown and you, think, okay,
well if the defense get hold of me, here we
get the ball, back we'll go down and score fourteen to.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Ten, no that didn't. Happen they went down in.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Scored but late in the, Game mike your number two
playing the. Game The steelers have a chance, here all,
right you score a.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Touchdown they move the ball down the field. Quick they
Remember Mount washington was on the. Team they hit him
across the middle.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
For a Big remember the team when they overthrew it
got picked, off and they remembered he was on the
team when they threw too many dropped.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
It he dropped it early in the.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Game other than that wild, SUCCESS i don't understand why they. Go,
WELL i, MEAN dk has how many drops per? GAME i,
mean you know we eliminate. Everybody Ex, yeah it's.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Gonna really don't have that many that. Don't Uh, so
fourth and, two what do you?
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Do, well you bring In Spencer anderson and you light
him up outside and you say he's, eligible and then
you run the ball up to gout With Kenny gainwell
and you don't even do that. Particularly, Well huger's gets a,
Snap we'll give The gainwell straight up the middle and
(32:18):
Game wells hitting the.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Backfield and he's dropped for a one yard loss and
the students.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Will turn the ball over on.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Down and how Did steelers fans react to?
Speaker 4 (32:26):
That, well the in game production team decided that would
be a good time to play, Renegade AND.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
I, mean have you ever Heard it's almost like they
started to turn it down like, sorry all, RIGHT i
think that is For Matt light's feed a, Comedian Matt.
Light so thanks To matt for, that.
Speaker 7 (33:04):
But only that failed fourth. Down i'm at Least i'm
looking for silver linings. Here BUT i think everybody lined
up in the right. Spot, okay you didn't get illegal,
formation pedal, progress.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
Baby steps and number one play of the. Game steelers
come out with the ball in the second, half and
on the first play from, scrimmage this, happens.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Play action pass dancing out to his right in trouble
and hit from behind By. Bosa the ball is, out
it is scooped, up it is run in for A
Buffalo bills. Touchdown Christian benford scooped it, up and one
play into this second, half The bills have taken the.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
League that one's On Aaron, rodgers no, Question what the
hell is he holding on the ball so long for
when you don't have a left, tackle you're on your
backup over. There you already went through all three of your.
Progressions these guys were covered all.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Night one. Tooth you have to live to fight another.
Day you're. Not do you know? What he's doing the
same Stuff Russell wilson used to. Do you aren't twenty five,
anymore holding the ball too.
Speaker 7 (34:03):
Long AND i actually thought there was a play action
the war and the ward went up the. GUN i
thought he was wide, open a little dump, Down, yeah
get five yards and maybe he runs For.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
They scored a touchdown that, way.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Right that, was uh, YEAH i just can't have. That
at one point in the in the, crowd this guy
next to me was WHAT i was first down after
the third quarter, debacle and he started, saying punt. It
AND i was laughing at, first being, like, yeah punt.
It and THEN i started doing the math AND i was,
like we just had a, strip sack picks or you,
(34:35):
know a fumble recovery for six and an. Interception, yeah
let's punt. It let's just go ahead and do. It
that actually might mathematically work out better in our.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Favor nobody was making place for The steelers, yesterday an
abysmal performance that is going to reverberate all the way
To baltimore Next sunday at one, o'clock when The steelers
faced The ravens with first place in THE Afc north
on the. Line but after the last couple of, weeks you,
know the defense has been hot and cold the entire, Season,
(35:02):
mike a little more on the cold. Side when has
the offense done anything that is giving you.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
A little bit of hope that they can build on.
Speaker 7 (35:15):
Something they're actually way better up until The chargers, game
and it's been scattered since. Then, now they scored some
points Against, cincinnati but the defense had a lot to
do with. That but they were like tenth or eleventh
in points per game in the, league which is not,
great but it's, serviceable you, know flirting with top, third
which for The, steelers they would have a parade based,
(35:36):
on you, know the previous.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Years it's just fallen off the end of the table and.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Guntsplat steelers are six and six and they head To. Baltimore,
well The ravens are six and. Six, yeah The ravens
are terrible, too or unpredictable and, INCONSISTENT i guess you could.
Say as, is basically the ENTIRE Afc north a bad.
