The way tire buying should be the Broncos knocking on
(00:52):
the proverbial door. They are inside the Bills five yard line,
five and a half to go here in the fourth quarter.
The game is fifteen a piece. The Broncos, I believe,
have started every drive tonight from the Bills twenty and
they have six points off those drives. It has been
a night where everything has gone the way of the Broncos,
(01:16):
from field position to turnovers, the Bills have four and
it's a fifteen to fifteen game. This tells you the
level of just the discrepancy between the two teams. Hey,
I believe it. No, it's caused another horrible game by
the Bills to turn into something that is going to
give the Broncos the lead. And Javonte Williams just catches
a touchdown pass from Russell Wilson. As I say it,
(01:37):
it is twenty one to fifteen, now five minutes left
to go extra point pending the Bill. Look, the Bills
continue to shoot themselves in the foot, they continue to
play poorly, they continue to play up and down, and
we talked about the beginning of the show. It's just
not the same Bills team. But you see every year. Hey,
another year for Josh Allen, who's still young in his prime,
another year for Stefan Diggs's a top three wide receiver.
(01:59):
The Bills are gonna be great. No, it's not the
same Bills. It's not the same offense, not same defense.
Josh Allen tries to do way too much. It's just
not their year and it's been a struggle and it's
gonna beest even if they pull this game out. It's
still going to be a struggle throughout the rest of
the way. Oh it's a mess, there's no question about it.
As we watch a botched struggling Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Pat, But the thing with the Bills is so many
unforced errors, like that's the thing that get you, right,
the lack of concentration, the the little things. And yes,
wide receivers are gonna have balls fly through their hands,
like Gabe Dans said on the first turnover.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
But the.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Botched handoff to James Cook is about as bad as
you're gonna see.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Right.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Cook obviously had the fumble to start things, and for
a while he was just stalking his position, coach, begging
for another opportunity to you know, wash that taste out
of his mouth. Uh seven carries forty yards for him
on the night two catches eleven yards. But that humble
rings so huge and indicative of the type of games
(03:05):
that we've seen from this Bill squad, where you keep
waiting for it to happen. You know what, tomorrow may
never come here. Right that that sudden flip the switch
and suddenly the offense is clicking and Josh Allen still
makes some throws that defy logic right as as you
see him put the ball into crazy windows, and we've
seen a couple of those tonight. But also sometimes you
(03:28):
know there might be just a little extra mustard on
there that his receivers, even though they should be able
to catch up with, they don't mustard. If I'd said cheese,
mustard and cheese, extra cheese would have gotten you actually salivating.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Mustard actually done.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
But you see that his receivers have some Troublestfad Diggs
three catches thirty four yards on five targets, I'm sure, certainly.
I mean that's why they didn't make that trade that
everybody was looking for at the deadline when we when
we look at that situation in that one on one matchup,
but the expectation is you'll find a secondary option that's
(04:11):
able to show up. I mean, you've run the ball
pretty well on the night. Twenty carries one hundred and
seventeen yards, has nothing to sneeze at.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Right, but you have a bit You had a fumble
by James Cook and a fumble on the handoff exchange.
Those are killers, man, no kill.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Those two interceptions. And like I said, when when they're unforced, right,
the I'm tucking the ball into your gut. This seems
about as innocuous as it gets. And it falls to
the turf and gets recovered by the defense. And you
want to talk about the air sailing out, I mean
the boo birds were out after the first Cook fumble.
I can only imagine the level that.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
They're at here in the fourth And DJ, Brandon, Flowers
and those three other guys are what those turnovers are
because they are killers for the Bills. DJ, no, I
know know the other three guys, though, I just know Brandon.
If you can't at least any other three.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
If you can't at least give me an example of
a Larry Mullen junior. No, no, no, But that's my point,
the equivalent of a Larry Mullen junior.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
No no, no.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
The edge is the edge bottom. But we always know
Larry Mullen junior. Here, you got one guy and he
had nobody else.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
So we'll keep you updated on this game again. The
Broncos botch the extra point. The snap is good, but
the hold is bobbled, and Riley Dixon cues you uh
fumbles the ball but is able to fall on it.
So the Bills now it's up for them to drive
down the field and get a game winning touchdown to
win this game. Twenty two twenty one. So the Bills
have the ball five minutes left to go. They trail
(05:39):
by six. We'll have more on this game as it finishes,
but it is time to take the conversation about the
Jets in a different direction because you watch the game
last night, You've heard what said. Does Zach Wilson stink? Yes?
Do the plays that are called for Zach Wilson? Are
they any good?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
They're absolutely terrible. This is no one man can do
what they're doing to the Jets offense. This is a
complete and total failure with a bad quarterback and a
bad offensive game plan that the Jets refuse to alter.
We're not gonna change quarterbacks. We're not gonna change how
we call plays. Everything's gonna be the same. You think
I'm lying, here's Robert Sala from earlier today saying everything's
(06:16):
still gonna be the same.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
We're talking. They're nothing with the quarterback, nothing with the
play caller. You know, we're just looking at things with
regards to schematically the things that we can do differently,
some different personal personnel changes, which I'm gonna keep here
with me, but we're looking across the board to see
if we can find a way to generate some offense.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Uh, just what I want to hear. Yeah, it's gonna
be the same same thing. You know, Look Jackson, before
I get to the because I because it really does
sum it up nicely there. Listen. I know that maybe
you don't know if Tim Boyle is any good or
if Trevor Simmons is any good. I understand all this,
but you know what you're getting every week. You know
there's got to be some kind of change. This is
(06:53):
when you do change the quarterback because you know that
we need something else. And I don't care if they're
worried at all. This would this would end Zach Wilson's
tenuous Jetts doesn't, of course it would. The guy's that
he's terrible. He's been bad for two and a half years.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah. No, But here's the thing, and you got sucked
into it. You and I were communicating in the game.
There are still a number of throws that that guy makes.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
You're like, oh, here, there it is. He a couple
he made a couple of Mahomes throws. Well, you're like,
if Mahomes makes those throws, you're like, that's why he's
the greatest quarterback in the NFL. But Zack Wilson makes
a nuts. Oh yeah, he's able to get that ball
around the defense. That's pretty cool. So he's got the play.
He comes back and then throws y. Yeah. But here
here's the but here's the thing to take in a
(07:33):
different direction. The Jets need a new head coach. Okay,
I like Robert Sala. I think the players like Robert Sala.
But he is not up to this. Okay. There's two
big things about him and about the Jets that just
haven't been fixed, no matter how many times he says, Oh,
we gotta fix it. We gotta fix dude, don't tell
me again. It's gonna pop, it's gonna work. We gotta
(07:54):
fix it. No, it's not telling me. If you can't
fix it, it's gotta be somebody else. But the two biggest
things about out him. Number one is he can't teach
responsibility and consequences because the Jets still make incredibly stupid
penalties that cost them ten points last night. In games,
too many penalties happen, and every week it happens that way.
You know what, that's a direct responsibility of the head
(08:16):
coach and the coaches to stop that from going on,
because these already just, hey, here's a fall starter. It's
here's a roughing the passer penalty. Here's a holding penalty
when it's not needed, when when the players already run
by you that, hey, we're committing a holding penalty. That's
completely on Robert Salad. He can't teach responsibility and consequences.
The other part is he is not attention to detail
(08:38):
enough what you need to be an NFL head coach.
He's not. He's not attention to detail. He's my guys
are out there and yacking it up and honking it
up when the guys make plays. But he is not
attention to detail. Me. I know this. Let me tell
you this. I know this. The end of the game
last night. What happens when there's twenty seconds left. The
Jets don't call time out right, Wilson completes that pass
(08:58):
to Tyler Conklin over the middle, and there's twenty one
seconds left. Timeout timeout right? No timeout? Do you believe? No?
You know what, there's two things. So the clock ticks
down to thirteen seconds. Finally, Jets call timeout. It's like, what,
you just let eight seconds tick off? The Jets could
have run one more play twenty second. They could have
run one more play to the twenty yard line. Spie
(09:20):
had a good shot at the end zone. But no,
and Robert sala is screaming, I called it with twenty
seconds left. You know what. First of all, if he
really called the timeout with twenty seconds left, they're not
starting another play until they go back and look and say, hey,
did he call a timeout? We got to put twenty
seconds on the clock. There is no way that if
he actually did it with twenty seconds left, that the
(09:42):
referees don't go back because that nobody else does you
tell me any other coach in the NFL that if
that actually happened, they would allow the ball to be snapped. No,
you go back and look. I talked to this guy
that no, you come and talk to me about it
right now. But instead it was I called it with
twenty seconds left, and the refs all tell him no, no, no.
But that's not my point. My point is this attention
the detail. If you wanted to time out in twenty
(10:02):
seconds left, right, of course, you want to time out.
I want to time out three thousand miles away. I
wanted to time out. Why did nobody else on the
field call a timeout? Right if you knew what was
going on, if you were on top of it, you know, hey, Zach,
complete this pass, get first down, get a time out.
But that's all you do. But nobody's calling time out.
Zach Wilson's not calling a timeout. Garrett Wilson's not calling
(10:23):
a timeout. Nobody else is calling a timeout. So you
tell me the attention to detail the Jets have when
in a very easy situation like that, you got to know,
complete the past timeout, but instead eight seconds tickle? Are
you kidding me? That was the moment. That was the
moment where I said, you know what, I am out
on Robert Salah, even with all the penalties everything else.
But I'm like, that's a moment that's inexcusable that if
(10:44):
you're on top of detail like you need to be.
And I just think back to stuffs like Bill Belichick
teaching his center to snap the ball to hit the
upright with so they can really worry about taking a
safety if they want to, and having the you know
and kicking the ball you know off when they want
to take a safety at the end of the games
and I see Robert Saal and I look at this
and I go, what what is going on here? Where
(11:06):
is it? Where's the attention? I don't see it. There's
a lot of things that go on every single week
that's right under his jurisdiction to change, and he doesn't
do it. And when I'm saying, why is nobody else
calling to and I'm like, that's a team that nobody's
on the same page. You know what they want? One
no one knows what they want, and that's on him.
That was my out moment on Robert Sola.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah, that was one of the more pathetic sequencings that
we saw in a day full of them. Conklin gets
the big reception and he came up big with some
catches for Zach Wilson as the game wore on, and
and that immediately, you know, you got Wilson look into
the sideline like he's waiting on direction. So you know,
(11:46):
with Salah, you take Hackett with him quite obviously. I
don't care if Aaron Rodgers is his best friend, he
can pay him out of pocket, he can take his
Pat McAfee money and just initiate. You know what, let's
cut out the middle man. You guys, just pay him
for my appearances, you know, or I'll put it up
as an act of charity at this point because he
(12:07):
he's disastrous.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
So yes, salah to one.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
But you look at Hackett, and the communications also got
to come through him to make sure that that timeout
gets called, as as we look at you know, the
the Jets moving forward because Rogers was able to force
some of that roster movement and add in all those
ex Green Bay guys. Fine, but the fact that they
(12:31):
signed off and brought in Hackett, he works with one
quarterback twelve and even then they disagreed with each other
on on play calls or whatever. You caught the glimpses
of Rogers shaking his head on certain play calls down
the stretch from Hackett. So yeah, you've got a dysfunction
a lot. But the beard looks good, so natural, no
(12:52):
one could tell. I mean, the beard looks great, and
I like Robert Soliz. He's got a good painting. The
players like him too, and I get that I don't
know how much him any but but well, especially now
when he's saying, Zack's our guys, Zack's our guy. I
just I don't I I the team is stunk and
they're too talented to stink like this. Well and Garrett
Well Wilson said, what jee to say? You know, he's
(13:14):
a young guy, but he's leading. I hope so. And
I'm tired of this arrange.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I want Garrett Wilson to stand up to say, this
is all the crap that's gotta happen, This is all
the crap that's got I really want.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Six hundred page manifesto of how he takes over the Jets.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Not that we called it, but like I said, it's
tough to say for guy to put the Jets ne
to new head coach. Uh. We called the Buffalo Bills
go ahead touchdown. It happened James Cook with a big
run where he fumbled but picked up the ball on
his run got deep into Broncos territory. Josh Allen just
ran it in from a few yards out. The Bills
(13:52):
have a twenty two to twenty one lead, two minutes
left to go. The Broncos are getting the football back.
We have a hell of a two minutes left ear
in this game between the Bills and the Denver Broncos.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Coming down to it, Monday Night Football.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
As we always say, it doesn't have to be a
great game, it just needs to be close in the
final minute. And that's what we're getting once again, as
we've got a pass interference call that sets the Broncos
up first and ten with just twenty nine seconds remaining
(16:48):
in this one. Another beaten off the line and then
the ball comes short to you kind of push into
the receiver coming back and sets the Bronco up at
the nineteen yard line. Smith, I can't believe what I
just saw.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
It. It was you know, it sucks, but it was
pass interference. Yeah, you know, I mean there's nothing, there's
nothing you can say about it. You can't run into
the receiver before the ball gets there. And if Russell
Wilson wasn't rushed as fast as he was, and he
kind of does that, I don't want to step up
and throw it, so he kind of backs up and
just chucks it up. It's a touchdown because Jerry Judy
(17:25):
is behind. Yeah, I mean it's a it's an easy touchdown.
So the fact that they still got it is you
say to yourself, oh my goodness. But it was clearly
pass interference. And now Will Lutz is gonna come on
for i believe, his eighth field goal of the game
to try to win. But remember the Broncos botched the
snap on the extra point last time, so you know
(17:47):
that's gonna be in everybody's head and Will Lutz is
gonna be coming out for the game winning field goal
here pretty soon. Second down and twelve for the Broncos
that have the ball middle of the field, it's going
to be a very makeable field goal for Will Lutz.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Now what was curious and as you're you're watching it,
obviously we're here in the studio, we don't have sound
to help the set the tone here for us, but
and down distances they're going through, just in terms of
the game composition, because we saw nowhere on the screen
as we were looking that the Broncos had any timeouts remaining.
(18:24):
So at thirty five seconds left, Wilson takes a sack.
It's like, all right, how quick, nobody's rushing to the line.
What are we doing?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yeah? Yeah, Robert not coaching that game. Oh we know
it called timeouts.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
We have the timeout, but there was the timeout at
thirty five seconds. But there was just this moment. I'm like,
I don't see any you know, hash marks, I don't
see it. They use them all but get the time
out and then they get the pass interference call and
now try to run clock a little bit. Twenty four
seconds left, third and thirteen.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
If the Broncos win this game and Will LUTs Is
gonna come out for a short field goal here twenty
four seconds less, so the Bills are going to get
the football back for some kind of last crazy ass possession. Uh,
because they did call a time out to stop the clock.
This has put the Broncos. I mean, I look at
the Jets, I go there, four and five, but this Broncos.
(19:13):
Everything was abysmal for them, and now here they are
just one game out of the playoffs. You're one game
out of the playoffs. I mean, there's ten teams, that's it.
But it's but you are right when this was, Hey,
we're tanking and we're gonna be taking.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
All these teams are calling for Patrick certain all this stuff,
and now here we are and.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Now here are the here are? I don't know what
Sean Payton is doing. This is just ridiculously stupid. So
not please Yeah, I really hope they missed because please
miss it. I really hope they missed because of this.
He missed you. Yeah, on the field, there are flags
(20:02):
down they deserve to miss. Hang on, we are getting
twelve men on the field for the still fourth down.
Oh my goodness, how let's explain what just happened?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
So there's twenty four seconds left to go in the game,
and it looks like you're gonna bring out the field
goal kicker and Lutch is gonna come out with twenty
four seconds left because the Broncos are out of timeouts
and you gotta make sure you get this kickoff. The
Broncos decide to kneel on the football and rush the
field goal unit out there on the field to get
(20:39):
a kick because Sean Payton, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, more
than anybody else in the room, I don't want to
give the Bills offense a chance, So I'm gonna rush
my field goal unit out there. He rushes the field
unit out there, they get the kickoff. They miss it. However,
the Bills are called for twelve men on the field
because it was very hectic for the Bills as well
(20:59):
to try to get everybody on the field, so the
missed field goal is taken off the board. There was
one last play and seconds ago, Will Lutz hits the
game winning field goal to win it for the Broncos
twenty four to twenty two. Now, let me just say this,
I hate the way this game. And you know I'm
telling you the truth because hey, you seeing the Bills
losing the AFC East, I love that. I hate the
(21:21):
way this game ended. The Broncos deserve to lose just
for running that stupid ass play trying to run everybody
on the field for a last second kick because Sean
Payton wanted to show I'm smarter than everybody else. They
deserve to lose just for that, and they wound up winning.
I hate the way this game ended.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Twelve men on the field and final score twenty four
to twenty two. What was the over under on this one,
you may ask, forty six and a half?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Oh really, forty hitting? Wow?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
So there you go. You got your Broncos plus eight.
They get the victory out right, and the under still
catches here. I didn't see what it went off at
That was my my notes doing my show into Sunday,
so a lot of action would have gone down before then,
and then a lot of people obviously chasing Betts as
we got to game time. But just an absolutely insane
(22:19):
finish and the counting to twelve situation for the Buffalo Bills.
We want to talk about down distant situational football, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
You got caught in the switches.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
The guy missed the chip shot field goal, but he
gets to live to see the game.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
He deserve to lose. For that, they deserve to lose.
And Sean past whatever deal with the devil Sean Payton made. Man,
I'll tell you, man, it's gonna come do at some point. Man,
I'll tell you I don't know what it's gonna be.
Maybe maybe they're they're gonna make home team two and
three and four and five. I don't know, but something's
gotta be doing, man, because I hate that this game
ended this way. It helps the Jets. It helps the
(22:59):
Jets because they're tied with the team that they beat already,
so they get so it's it's the right outcome for
my team, but I hate the way it end because
they don't deserve to win like that. What do you got, Frostburg?
When Sean Payton dreams at night, he has both the
devils on his shoulders, there's no angels. He just got one.
Downside is the devil. The other side is the devil
hanging out in a room with him like they're playing chess.
(23:20):
Hey man, how about you do this? I don't know,
devil says this, devil says.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
The final drive for the Broncos inside the two minute
warning right ten plays fifty seven yards, including that pass
interference play. They'd started off with a little shovel to
Samaji p Ryan and they're able to move the ball
down into field goal range, run out the clock again.
One of the more asinine things when Russell Wilson goes
(23:45):
and takes the knee out there.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
That's a coach that says, I'm smarter. I'm the smartest
coach in the world, and what look look at me.
I'm gonna do something that we're gonna win, and I'm
not gonna allow the Bills to get the football back
even for a few seconds, and and they couldn't. They
should have lost the game.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Yeah, the passion pass attempt from Wilson to Judy that
you talked about, Judy got behind the defender Johnson and
then he tried to play ketchup ends up getting caught
up in him. That was a twenty eight yard play,
taking the ball from the forty five down to the seventeen. Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
We have more on this game coming up in two minutes.
We have to break down what this means for the Bills,
everybody's favorite team to go to the super Bowl. Now,
there's many ways to break and many things we have
to talk about this game to break it down. But
let me let me, let me go to the most
basic level of emotion. Here is that growing up there?
(24:38):
And I know for you it's the same Frostburg, Steve.
I mean not for Tyscher because he's not a sports fan,
but for all of us. There are losses regular season game,
not big playoff losses, not the ones you always remember
the rest of your life for whatever reason. But there
are regular season losses and games that you just remember
that you still are not over you more than us.
(24:59):
But yeah, I am still not over the Jets losing
to the Bears Monday Night Football in nineteen ninety one,
the cap Bozo game. I'm still not over that game.
I'm not over that game.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
You're just mad because it was a guy named camp
Bow I'm not sure kept confusing him with Bozo the
clown waiting for Wizzo.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Jim Harbaw was the quarterback. Jim Harbor was a quarterback
in that game. I'm so mad about that game. I
still remember, okay, and because it was just so frustrating
to watch so many things go wrong, where any one
thing goes the other way your team wins. And again,
this is a thirty something year old game, and I
still am not over that game. It's one of the
worst losses I've ever had to go through in Jet's history.
(25:35):
And if I'm a Bills fan, this is a regular
season game. I don't know when I get over it,
because to play so poorly and to turn the ball
over four times and to still have a game winning
drive where you go in for a touchdown and you
still lose to a team that missed two extra points.
(25:55):
Watched the game winning field goal, but you had too
many men on the field, so they have to kick
it again and make it that is That is just
next level. I'm not gonna sleep tonight. Really, I mean
tight bars in in in Buffalo. I don't know if
you're allowed to stay open till four because there's people
that need some all big time therapy. I make sure
Amazon for people who need online retail therapy, because that's me.
(26:18):
I'm a retail therapy guy. Uh say, make sure you're
you're overstaffed till four o'clock in the morning because people
are gonna need some way to blow off steam. Because
this this is a game that I'm as a Bills fan,
I would not get over four years. I mean, I
can see in twenty forty a bunch of Bills fansitting
around going, oh, worst regular season loss, dude, twenty twenty
three Broncos. Oh my god, the twelve men on the
(26:40):
field game. Oh dad, twelven on the field game. That's
what the twelven on the field game. That's this kind
of loss. To have all those things go on and
still you almost won the game. Yeah, the Broncos started
drives five times in Bill's territory tonight, and still they
should have won the game in spite of your turnovers,
four turnovers and still Bill they should have won the game.
(27:03):
And as we speak right now, the Bills are technically
out of a playoff spot in the AFC. This guy,
I would not get over this game for years years.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
You ran for one hundred and ninety two yards, all
of it on that last drive. But here James Cook
keep going. Twelve carries one hundred and nine yards, including
a long of forty two. You had sixty eight yards
from Latavius Murray, and obviously Josh Allen with the short
touchdown run. He had four carries thirteen yards with the
(27:34):
score on the night, you did everything to get yourself
back to a lead despite all of those the unforced
errors right the ball zipping through gave Davis's hand the
fact that you had that botched handoff, which was just
one of the more confusing looking plays you'll see as
(27:56):
the ball looks like Alan doesn't quite tuck it into
the stomach, but Cook doesn't react when the ball touches
his pads and his jersey and it falls, and you
give the Broncos great field position. Look, let's goes four
for four, because that this will never be seen. It
doesn't appear, and he can wipe that away with the
(28:18):
flashy thing from Men in Black. It'll remain in the
minds and hearts and souls of all the Buffalo Bills
fans now going to Anchor Bar to have as many
wings as they can before they close. See retail therapy
of a different variety, Eat your feelings, as this is
the table of girls who eat their feelings. That's really
kind of what it's gonna be tonight, I think in Buffalo.
(28:40):
I mean, you saw the incredulous looks on the sideline
after the pass interference call, the first one, right, that
was the first time in that drive was.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Like, oh, here it is.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
But when you see the flags in the end zone immediate,
it's like, besides delay a game, Yeah, happen. And then
they go to they give your knee the all twenty
two and it's like, let's count them off, what dude, three,
four and five and they're one guy behind the line
of eleven.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I thought for sure it would be false start because
they ran up, They ran everybody out there, because Sean
Payton smart than everybody else, and uh, that's what was
gonna be. But then you know, and here's the thing though,
and this this is this is what what what the Bills.
And another thing to go through for Bill sorry Bills fans,
is that either you're on the field goal block team
you're not right, like you're on the field goal block
(29:29):
team and you're not. So somebody's on the field that
knows I shouldn't have been on the field, because, like
I said, either you're on the and now was this, Hey,
we're gonna keep guys on the field, and we're gonna
try to keep some of you want to keep the
defense on the field. Either no, they want to get
their guys on because it's a it's a it's a
winner lose kick. You're either on the field goal block
team you're not, absolutely disturbing. So again going to the
(29:51):
attention to details. At the end of the game, you
lost your head, you lost the game, and now you're
a five hundred squad searching for answer when your offense
has been inconsistent. Hey, maybe they'll actually stick with the
running game going forward. Maybe they saw that enough tonight
to say, hey, you know what, if we gave him
more than eight carries a game, we might do something.
I thought the Jets had it been no don't forget
(30:14):
they got a stack of four Super Bowls they lost
that they're still dealing with thirty years later. And don't
forget who plays next week, Jets Bills. Let's go look out.
What did Josh Allen have to say following this incredibly
frustrating and awful loss for the Bills. Tell Allen you'll
(30:35):
hear from him coming up next, Josh Allen, keep it
right here. We're just starting to break down Monday Night
football and the rest of all the big action from
Week ten of the NFL. Jason Smith Mike Harmon Live

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon Live from the tire act dot Com Studios.
The Bills turn the ball over eighteen times in the
game tonight against the Denver Broncos. John Payton, I'm the
smartest coach in the world, tries to rush the field
goal team on for a last second field goal when
he could have kicked it with twenty seconds left because
(31:17):
I don't want to give the ball back to the Bills.
Will Lutts misses the field goal. However, the Bills are
called for too many men on the field. Let's gets
to rekick it and with a second chance, he doesn't
miss this.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
Fall spotted far hash at the twenty six in attempt
of thirty six yards for the win.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Let's kicks it on the way.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
And it is good. The Broncos can celebrate because they
have come to Buffalo and upset.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
The Bills by a final score of twenty four to
twenty two.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Bill's Radio network on the call, the Bills lose twenty
four to twenty two, And like I said a few
minutes ago, I hate the way this game ended because
Sean Payton decided to say, I'm the smartest coach that
ever lived, and instead of just kicking the field goal,
getting his field goal kicker out there and you know,
in a calm situation to kick, no, I'm gonna rush
the team onto the field and take an extra snap
(32:15):
because I don't want to give the ball back to
the Bills with any time left on the clock, and
he should have blown it. But they make the field goal,
they win the game. We're gonna hear from Josh Allen
coming up in a few minutes. But let me just
say this, another bad game for Josh Allen and another
game filled with turnovers for Allen, and it wasn't tell
(32:36):
Allen two interceptions and a botched handoff with James Cook
that looked like the ball slipped out of Allen's hands.
And now the Bills are five and five and Josh
Allen is not quite the quarterback he was and the
Bills are struggling. If you want to say what's wrong
with Josh Allen, that's gonna be the big topic of
(32:57):
conversation coming out of this game. There's two things. Number
one is I know the Bills run the football pretty well.
James Cook, Latavious Murray Tonight turned out fine, even though
it didn't look that way in the end. He still
had two fumbles. James Cook fumble and he fumbled the handoff.
The first thing is he needs a few more design rushes.
(33:17):
He needs a few more times where he tucks the
ball and is able to run, because that was when
he was at his most effective, when he had between
seven to ten rushes in a game, and right now
he's averaging about three or four. They've dialed back on it,
obviously because they want to keep Josh Allen healthy peas
shoulder injury. That Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
I mean, look, he's on the field right right, dial
things back, and he's a guy that has put himself
in harm's way.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
I mean that's been the biggest criticism.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Yeah, but this is little Carol with the ball, but
it's the Hey, he puts himself in the harms way,
So we got to find another way to get a
run game going.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
That isn't all him, but you could tell him to slide,
and you can also have to understand that, Okay, are
we taking away what helps me him great? You can't
take away what makes a guy great.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Well, that's what we talked about with Cam Newton. Towards
the end, he wasn't the same guy right as soon
as the run part of it is gone, he becomes
a better than average, but not the exceptional player that
he's been.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
He needs a little bit more because maybe that gets
him into the flow of the game where he makes
better decisions. He feels like he's more part of the game,
because that's what it was great when Josh he'd follow
his tackle will be oh my goodness, Josh Allen's big.
He's gonna put a hit on a guy. Now, you
don't when to go down or slide. But that's the
first thing. The second thing I see with him is
that the turnovers right leads the NFL interceptions as much
(34:34):
as it's it's the inverse, an opposite from Zach Wilson,
where Zach Wilson at, dude, just throw the ball down.
Just let him throw the ball downfield. Let's not go
five yards every single time. He's got to understand when
downfield the play isn't there, and when you're struggling a
little bit. I get that. I want to make more plays.
I want to go make the plays. But his interceptions
(34:55):
are not Hey, this coverage was disguised or the receiver
ran a bad rout, or a lot of his turnovers
are he just throws. Why are you throwing into into
into double coverage? His turnover the end of the first
half was abysmal. I mean, right down, Gabe Davis is
look you, why are you pushing the ball? Understand that.
(35:15):
Understand the value of a five yard pass. Understand like
all running backs have to understand the value of a
two yard carry instead of trying to dance behind the
line of scrimmage and make a big play and you
lose three yards. Know the value of a two yard carry.
Josh Allen's got to understand the value of a five
yard pass play where if I get the ball the
running back and we gain five. I know it's not sexy.
I know it's not getting the ball all the way
(35:36):
down the field, but sometimes that's the right play because
that's what's killing them, because the turnovers are are turning
into points, and this is what's crushing Buffalo.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
Right.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
You could look, I could look at three games the
Bill should have won where the turnovers killed them. You
got this could go back to the Jets Week one.
The turnovers are killing them, and he's got to take
better care of the football and he's got to make
better decisions and understand that maybe I can't go downfield
as much as I want to on this and I
gotta dial it back a little.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
Yeah, I'm gonna try to go put the super cut
of the interceptions and turnovers together.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Fumbles are what they are.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
But when we talk about some of the interceptions again,
they all count just the same, and in the end,
we're just talking about the cumulative cumulative effect, but a
couple of the turnovers, including against your Jets. I mean,
I felt like he was almost yelling, punt check. I'm
gonna send it up there, and if Diggs makes a play, great,
(36:30):
If not, he's going to tackle the guy at the three,
and it was third and long anyway, or circumstances like that.
Not to excuse it, but we try to, you know,
talk about it in game situation as well as just
as opposed to just giving another notch in that column,
which it becomes. You know, the game Davis sailing through
his hands today, Counce as an interception should have been
(36:53):
a first down at the Denver twelfth, right, So you
just have circumstance change on a dime. But you know,
the look on his face is like he's been punched
in the face multiple times. At the end of that game, right,
ran the ball in to give them the lead, put
the pat up, and so now you're a team searching
for answers because there's been a lot of the criticism
(37:15):
has been on Ken Dorsey of not embracing the run game. Well,
they did today and it worked to get them a
lead established again, but once again, defensive plays and players missing,
guys pressed into action, and an underthrown deep ball which
has become the bane of the existence of all defensive
backs in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
I'm kind of with you.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
I'm hey, ah, Damnity threw an eight yard shirt, so
now you're coming back through me and it's my penalty.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
The worst Twitter at How about a Fresca, Mike gets
Swelling down. Couple of things you could fix the Bills fix,
Josh Allen. Those are the two things on the top
of the list. Can't fix the Jets though. Can't fix
the Jets, but we'll try. Exit out about a Fresca

The way tire buying should be the Broncos knocking on
(00:52):
the proverbial door. They are inside the Bills five yard line,
five and a half to go here in the fourth quarter.
The game is fifteen a piece. The Broncos, I believe,
have started every drive tonight from the Bills twenty and
they have six points off those drives. It has been
a night where everything has gone the way of the Broncos,
(01:16):
from field position to turnovers, the Bills have four and
it's a fifteen to fifteen game. This tells you the
level of just the discrepancy between the two teams. Hey,
I believe it. No, it's caused another horrible game by
the Bills to turn into something that is going to
give the Broncos the lead. And Javonte Williams just catches
a touchdown pass from Russell Wilson. As I say it,
(01:37):
it is twenty one to fifteen, now five minutes left
to go extra point pending the Bill. Look, the Bills
continue to shoot themselves in the foot, they continue to
play poorly, they continue to play up and down, and
we talked about the beginning of the show. It's just
not the same Bills team. But you see every year. Hey,
another year for Josh Allen, who's still young in his prime,
another year for Stefan Diggs's a top three wide receiver.
(01:59):
The Bills are gonna be great. No, it's not the
same Bills. It's not the same offense, not same defense.
Josh Allen tries to do way too much. It's just
not their year and it's been a struggle and it's
gonna beest even if they pull this game out. It's
still going to be a struggle throughout the rest of
the way. Oh it's a mess, there's no question about it.
As we watch a botched struggling Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Pat, But the thing with the Bills is so many
unforced errors, like that's the thing that get you, right,
the lack of concentration, the the little things. And yes,
wide receivers are gonna have balls fly through their hands,
like Gabe Dans said on the first turnover.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
But the.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Botched handoff to James Cook is about as bad as
you're gonna see.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Right.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Cook obviously had the fumble to start things, and for
a while he was just stalking his position, coach, begging
for another opportunity to you know, wash that taste out
of his mouth. Uh seven carries forty yards for him
on the night two catches eleven yards. But that humble
rings so huge and indicative of the type of games
(03:05):
that we've seen from this Bill squad, where you keep
waiting for it to happen. You know what, tomorrow may
never come here. Right that that sudden flip the switch
and suddenly the offense is clicking and Josh Allen still
makes some throws that defy logic right as as you
see him put the ball into crazy windows, and we've
seen a couple of those tonight. But also sometimes you
(03:28):
know there might be just a little extra mustard on
there that his receivers, even though they should be able
to catch up with, they don't mustard. If I'd said cheese,
mustard and cheese, extra cheese would have gotten you actually salivating.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Mustard actually done.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
But you see that his receivers have some Troublestfad Diggs
three catches thirty four yards on five targets, I'm sure, certainly.
I mean that's why they didn't make that trade that
everybody was looking for at the deadline when we when
we look at that situation in that one on one matchup,
but the expectation is you'll find a secondary option that's
(04:11):
able to show up. I mean, you've run the ball
pretty well on the night. Twenty carries one hundred and
seventeen yards, has nothing to sneeze at.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Right, but you have a bit You had a fumble
by James Cook and a fumble on the handoff exchange.
Those are killers, man, no kill.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Those two interceptions. And like I said, when when they're unforced, right,
the I'm tucking the ball into your gut. This seems
about as innocuous as it gets. And it falls to
the turf and gets recovered by the defense. And you
want to talk about the air sailing out, I mean
the boo birds were out after the first Cook fumble.
I can only imagine the level that.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
They're at here in the fourth And DJ, Brandon, Flowers
and those three other guys are what those turnovers are
because they are killers for the Bills. DJ, no, I
know know the other three guys, though, I just know Brandon.
If you can't at least any other three.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
If you can't at least give me an example of
a Larry Mullen junior. No, no, no, But that's my point,
the equivalent of a Larry Mullen junior.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
No no, no.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
The edge is the edge bottom. But we always know
Larry Mullen junior. Here, you got one guy and he
had nobody else.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
So we'll keep you updated on this game again. The
Broncos botch the extra point. The snap is good, but
the hold is bobbled, and Riley Dixon cues you uh
fumbles the ball but is able to fall on it.
So the Bills now it's up for them to drive
down the field and get a game winning touchdown to
win this game. Twenty two twenty one. So the Bills
have the ball five minutes left to go. They trail
(05:39):
by six. We'll have more on this game as it finishes,
but it is time to take the conversation about the
Jets in a different direction because you watch the game
last night, You've heard what said. Does Zach Wilson stink? Yes?
Do the plays that are called for Zach Wilson? Are
they any good?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
They're absolutely terrible. This is no one man can do
what they're doing to the Jets offense. This is a
complete and total failure with a bad quarterback and a
bad offensive game plan that the Jets refuse to alter.
We're not gonna change quarterbacks. We're not gonna change how
we call plays. Everything's gonna be the same. You think
I'm lying, here's Robert Sala from earlier today saying everything's
(06:16):
still gonna be the same.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
We're talking. They're nothing with the quarterback, nothing with the
play caller. You know, we're just looking at things with
regards to schematically the things that we can do differently,
some different personal personnel changes, which I'm gonna keep here
with me, but we're looking across the board to see
if we can find a way to generate some offense.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Uh, just what I want to hear. Yeah, it's gonna
be the same same thing. You know, Look Jackson, before
I get to the because I because it really does
sum it up nicely there. Listen. I know that maybe
you don't know if Tim Boyle is any good or
if Trevor Simmons is any good. I understand all this,
but you know what you're getting every week. You know
there's got to be some kind of change. This is
(06:53):
when you do change the quarterback because you know that
we need something else. And I don't care if they're
worried at all. This would this would end Zach Wilson's
tenuous Jetts doesn't, of course it would. The guy's that
he's terrible. He's been bad for two and a half years.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah. No, But here's the thing, and you got sucked
into it. You and I were communicating in the game.
There are still a number of throws that that guy makes.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
You're like, oh, here, there it is. He a couple
he made a couple of Mahomes throws. Well, you're like,
if Mahomes makes those throws, you're like, that's why he's
the greatest quarterback in the NFL. But Zack Wilson makes
a nuts. Oh yeah, he's able to get that ball
around the defense. That's pretty cool. So he's got the play.
He comes back and then throws y. Yeah. But here
here's the but here's the thing to take in a
(07:33):
different direction. The Jets need a new head coach. Okay,
I like Robert Sala. I think the players like Robert Sala.
But he is not up to this. Okay. There's two
big things about him and about the Jets that just
haven't been fixed, no matter how many times he says, Oh,
we gotta fix it. We gotta fix dude, don't tell
me again. It's gonna pop, it's gonna work. We gotta
(07:54):
fix it. No, it's not telling me. If you can't
fix it, it's gotta be somebody else. But the two biggest
things about out him. Number one is he can't teach
responsibility and consequences because the Jets still make incredibly stupid
penalties that cost them ten points last night. In games,
too many penalties happen, and every week it happens that way.
You know what, that's a direct responsibility of the head
(08:16):
coach and the coaches to stop that from going on,
because these already just, hey, here's a fall starter. It's
here's a roughing the passer penalty. Here's a holding penalty
when it's not needed, when when the players already run
by you that, hey, we're committing a holding penalty. That's
completely on Robert Salad. He can't teach responsibility and consequences.
The other part is he is not attention to detail
(08:38):
enough what you need to be an NFL head coach.
He's not. He's not attention to detail. He's my guys
are out there and yacking it up and honking it
up when the guys make plays. But he is not
attention to detail. Me. I know this. Let me tell
you this. I know this. The end of the game
last night. What happens when there's twenty seconds left. The
Jets don't call time out right, Wilson completes that pass
(08:58):
to Tyler Conklin over the middle, and there's twenty one
seconds left. Timeout timeout right? No timeout? Do you believe? No?
You know what, there's two things. So the clock ticks
down to thirteen seconds. Finally, Jets call timeout. It's like, what,
you just let eight seconds tick off? The Jets could
have run one more play twenty second. They could have
run one more play to the twenty yard line. Spie
(09:20):
had a good shot at the end zone. But no,
and Robert sala is screaming, I called it with twenty
seconds left. You know what. First of all, if he
really called the timeout with twenty seconds left, they're not
starting another play until they go back and look and say, hey,
did he call a timeout? We got to put twenty
seconds on the clock. There is no way that if
he actually did it with twenty seconds left, that the
(09:42):
referees don't go back because that nobody else does you
tell me any other coach in the NFL that if
that actually happened, they would allow the ball to be snapped. No,
you go back and look. I talked to this guy
that no, you come and talk to me about it
right now. But instead it was I called it with
twenty seconds left, and the refs all tell him no, no, no.
But that's not my point. My point is this attention
the detail. If you wanted to time out in twenty
(10:02):
seconds left, right, of course, you want to time out.
I want to time out three thousand miles away. I
wanted to time out. Why did nobody else on the
field call a timeout? Right if you knew what was
going on, if you were on top of it, you know, hey, Zach,
complete this pass, get first down, get a time out.
But that's all you do. But nobody's calling time out.
Zach Wilson's not calling a timeout. Garrett Wilson's not calling
(10:23):
a timeout. Nobody else is calling a timeout. So you
tell me the attention to detail the Jets have when
in a very easy situation like that, you got to know,
complete the past timeout, but instead eight seconds tickle? Are
you kidding me? That was the moment. That was the
moment where I said, you know what, I am out
on Robert Salah, even with all the penalties everything else.
But I'm like, that's a moment that's inexcusable that if
(10:44):
you're on top of detail like you need to be.
And I just think back to stuffs like Bill Belichick
teaching his center to snap the ball to hit the
upright with so they can really worry about taking a
safety if they want to, and having the you know
and kicking the ball you know off when they want
to take a safety at the end of the games
and I see Robert Saal and I look at this
and I go, what what is going on here? Where
(11:06):
is it? Where's the attention? I don't see it. There's
a lot of things that go on every single week
that's right under his jurisdiction to change, and he doesn't
do it. And when I'm saying, why is nobody else
calling to and I'm like, that's a team that nobody's
on the same page. You know what they want? One
no one knows what they want, and that's on him.
That was my out moment on Robert Sola.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah, that was one of the more pathetic sequencings that
we saw in a day full of them. Conklin gets
the big reception and he came up big with some
catches for Zach Wilson as the game wore on, and
and that immediately, you know, you got Wilson look into
the sideline like he's waiting on direction. So you know,
(11:46):
with Salah, you take Hackett with him quite obviously. I
don't care if Aaron Rodgers is his best friend, he
can pay him out of pocket, he can take his
Pat McAfee money and just initiate. You know what, let's
cut out the middle man. You guys, just pay him
for my appearances, you know, or I'll put it up
as an act of charity at this point because he
(12:07):
he's disastrous.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
So yes, salah to one.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
But you look at Hackett, and the communications also got
to come through him to make sure that that timeout
gets called, as as we look at you know, the
the Jets moving forward because Rogers was able to force
some of that roster movement and add in all those
ex Green Bay guys. Fine, but the fact that they
(12:31):
signed off and brought in Hackett, he works with one
quarterback twelve and even then they disagreed with each other
on on play calls or whatever. You caught the glimpses
of Rogers shaking his head on certain play calls down
the stretch from Hackett. So yeah, you've got a dysfunction
a lot. But the beard looks good, so natural, no
(12:52):
one could tell. I mean, the beard looks great, and
I like Robert Soliz. He's got a good painting. The
players like him too, and I get that I don't
know how much him any but but well, especially now
when he's saying, Zack's our guys, Zack's our guy. I
just I don't I I the team is stunk and
they're too talented to stink like this. Well and Garrett
Well Wilson said, what jee to say? You know, he's
(13:14):
a young guy, but he's leading. I hope so. And
I'm tired of this arrange.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I want Garrett Wilson to stand up to say, this
is all the crap that's gotta happen, This is all
the crap that's got I really want.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Six hundred page manifesto of how he takes over the Jets.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Not that we called it, but like I said, it's
tough to say for guy to put the Jets ne
to new head coach. Uh. We called the Buffalo Bills
go ahead touchdown. It happened James Cook with a big
run where he fumbled but picked up the ball on
his run got deep into Broncos territory. Josh Allen just
ran it in from a few yards out. The Bills
(13:52):
have a twenty two to twenty one lead, two minutes
left to go. The Broncos are getting the football back.
We have a hell of a two minutes left ear
in this game between the Bills and the Denver Broncos.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Coming down to it, Monday Night Football.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
As we always say, it doesn't have to be a
great game, it just needs to be close in the
final minute. And that's what we're getting once again, as
we've got a pass interference call that sets the Broncos
up first and ten with just twenty nine seconds remaining
(16:48):
in this one. Another beaten off the line and then
the ball comes short to you kind of push into
the receiver coming back and sets the Bronco up at
the nineteen yard line. Smith, I can't believe what I
just saw.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
It. It was you know, it sucks, but it was
pass interference. Yeah, you know, I mean there's nothing, there's
nothing you can say about it. You can't run into
the receiver before the ball gets there. And if Russell
Wilson wasn't rushed as fast as he was, and he
kind of does that, I don't want to step up
and throw it, so he kind of backs up and
just chucks it up. It's a touchdown because Jerry Judy
(17:25):
is behind. Yeah, I mean it's a it's an easy touchdown.
So the fact that they still got it is you
say to yourself, oh my goodness. But it was clearly
pass interference. And now Will Lutz is gonna come on
for i believe, his eighth field goal of the game
to try to win. But remember the Broncos botched the
snap on the extra point last time, so you know
(17:47):
that's gonna be in everybody's head and Will Lutz is
gonna be coming out for the game winning field goal
here pretty soon. Second down and twelve for the Broncos
that have the ball middle of the field, it's going
to be a very makeable field goal for Will Lutz.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Now what was curious and as you're you're watching it,
obviously we're here in the studio, we don't have sound
to help the set the tone here for us, but
and down distances they're going through, just in terms of
the game composition, because we saw nowhere on the screen
as we were looking that the Broncos had any timeouts remaining.
(18:24):
So at thirty five seconds left, Wilson takes a sack.
It's like, all right, how quick, nobody's rushing to the line.
What are we doing?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yeah? Yeah, Robert not coaching that game. Oh we know
it called timeouts.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
We have the timeout, but there was the timeout at
thirty five seconds. But there was just this moment. I'm like,
I don't see any you know, hash marks, I don't
see it. They use them all but get the time
out and then they get the pass interference call and
now try to run clock a little bit. Twenty four
seconds left, third and thirteen.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
If the Broncos win this game and Will LUTs Is
gonna come out for a short field goal here twenty
four seconds less, so the Bills are going to get
the football back for some kind of last crazy ass possession. Uh,
because they did call a time out to stop the clock.
This has put the Broncos. I mean, I look at
the Jets, I go there, four and five, but this Broncos.
(19:13):
Everything was abysmal for them, and now here they are
just one game out of the playoffs. You're one game
out of the playoffs. I mean, there's ten teams, that's it.
But it's but you are right when this was, Hey,
we're tanking and we're gonna be taking.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
All these teams are calling for Patrick certain all this stuff,
and now here we are and.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Now here are the here are? I don't know what
Sean Payton is doing. This is just ridiculously stupid. So
not please Yeah, I really hope they missed because please
miss it. I really hope they missed because of this.
He missed you. Yeah, on the field, there are flags
(20:02):
down they deserve to miss. Hang on, we are getting
twelve men on the field for the still fourth down.
Oh my goodness, how let's explain what just happened?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
So there's twenty four seconds left to go in the game,
and it looks like you're gonna bring out the field
goal kicker and Lutch is gonna come out with twenty
four seconds left because the Broncos are out of timeouts
and you gotta make sure you get this kickoff. The
Broncos decide to kneel on the football and rush the
field goal unit out there on the field to get
(20:39):
a kick because Sean Payton, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, more
than anybody else in the room, I don't want to
give the Bills offense a chance, So I'm gonna rush
my field goal unit out there. He rushes the field
unit out there, they get the kickoff. They miss it. However,
the Bills are called for twelve men on the field
because it was very hectic for the Bills as well
(20:59):
to try to get everybody on the field, so the
missed field goal is taken off the board. There was
one last play and seconds ago, Will Lutz hits the
game winning field goal to win it for the Broncos
twenty four to twenty two. Now, let me just say this,
I hate the way this game. And you know I'm
telling you the truth because hey, you seeing the Bills
losing the AFC East, I love that. I hate the
(21:21):
way this game ended. The Broncos deserve to lose just
for running that stupid ass play trying to run everybody
on the field for a last second kick because Sean
Payton wanted to show I'm smarter than everybody else. They
deserve to lose just for that, and they wound up winning.
I hate the way this game ended.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Twelve men on the field and final score twenty four
to twenty two. What was the over under on this one,
you may ask, forty six and a half?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Oh really, forty hitting? Wow?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
So there you go. You got your Broncos plus eight.
They get the victory out right, and the under still
catches here. I didn't see what it went off at
That was my my notes doing my show into Sunday,
so a lot of action would have gone down before then,
and then a lot of people obviously chasing Betts as
we got to game time. But just an absolutely insane
(22:19):
finish and the counting to twelve situation for the Buffalo Bills.
We want to talk about down distant situational football, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
You got caught in the switches.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
The guy missed the chip shot field goal, but he
gets to live to see the game.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
He deserve to lose. For that, they deserve to lose.
And Sean past whatever deal with the devil Sean Payton made. Man,
I'll tell you, man, it's gonna come do at some point. Man,
I'll tell you I don't know what it's gonna be.
Maybe maybe they're they're gonna make home team two and
three and four and five. I don't know, but something's
gotta be doing, man, because I hate that this game
ended this way. It helps the Jets. It helps the
(22:59):
Jets because they're tied with the team that they beat already,
so they get so it's it's the right outcome for
my team, but I hate the way it end because
they don't deserve to win like that. What do you got, Frostburg?
When Sean Payton dreams at night, he has both the
devils on his shoulders, there's no angels. He just got one.
Downside is the devil. The other side is the devil
hanging out in a room with him like they're playing chess.
(23:20):
Hey man, how about you do this? I don't know,
devil says this, devil says.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
The final drive for the Broncos inside the two minute
warning right ten plays fifty seven yards, including that pass
interference play. They'd started off with a little shovel to
Samaji p Ryan and they're able to move the ball
down into field goal range, run out the clock again.
One of the more asinine things when Russell Wilson goes
(23:45):
and takes the knee out there.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
That's a coach that says, I'm smarter. I'm the smartest
coach in the world, and what look look at me.
I'm gonna do something that we're gonna win, and I'm
not gonna allow the Bills to get the football back
even for a few seconds, and and they couldn't. They
should have lost the game.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Yeah, the passion pass attempt from Wilson to Judy that
you talked about, Judy got behind the defender Johnson and
then he tried to play ketchup ends up getting caught
up in him. That was a twenty eight yard play,
taking the ball from the forty five down to the seventeen. Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
We have more on this game coming up in two minutes.
We have to break down what this means for the Bills,
everybody's favorite team to go to the super Bowl. Now,
there's many ways to break and many things we have
to talk about this game to break it down. But
let me let me, let me go to the most
basic level of emotion. Here is that growing up there?
(24:38):
And I know for you it's the same Frostburg, Steve.
I mean not for Tyscher because he's not a sports fan,
but for all of us. There are losses regular season game,
not big playoff losses, not the ones you always remember
the rest of your life for whatever reason. But there
are regular season losses and games that you just remember
that you still are not over you more than us.
(24:59):
But yeah, I am still not over the Jets losing
to the Bears Monday Night Football in nineteen ninety one,
the cap Bozo game. I'm still not over that game.
I'm not over that game.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
You're just mad because it was a guy named camp
Bow I'm not sure kept confusing him with Bozo the
clown waiting for Wizzo.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Jim Harbaw was the quarterback. Jim Harbor was a quarterback
in that game. I'm so mad about that game. I
still remember, okay, and because it was just so frustrating
to watch so many things go wrong, where any one
thing goes the other way your team wins. And again,
this is a thirty something year old game, and I
still am not over that game. It's one of the
worst losses I've ever had to go through in Jet's history.
(25:35):
And if I'm a Bills fan, this is a regular
season game. I don't know when I get over it,
because to play so poorly and to turn the ball
over four times and to still have a game winning
drive where you go in for a touchdown and you
still lose to a team that missed two extra points.
(25:55):
Watched the game winning field goal, but you had too
many men on the field, so they have to kick
it again and make it that is That is just
next level. I'm not gonna sleep tonight. Really, I mean
tight bars in in in Buffalo. I don't know if
you're allowed to stay open till four because there's people
that need some all big time therapy. I make sure
Amazon for people who need online retail therapy, because that's me.
(26:18):
I'm a retail therapy guy. Uh say, make sure you're
you're overstaffed till four o'clock in the morning because people
are gonna need some way to blow off steam. Because
this this is a game that I'm as a Bills fan,
I would not get over four years. I mean, I
can see in twenty forty a bunch of Bills fansitting
around going, oh, worst regular season loss, dude, twenty twenty
three Broncos. Oh my god, the twelve men on the
(26:40):
field game. Oh dad, twelven on the field game. That's
what the twelven on the field game. That's this kind
of loss. To have all those things go on and
still you almost won the game. Yeah, the Broncos started
drives five times in Bill's territory tonight, and still they
should have won the game in spite of your turnovers,
four turnovers and still Bill they should have won the game.
(27:03):
And as we speak right now, the Bills are technically
out of a playoff spot in the AFC. This guy,
I would not get over this game for years years.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
You ran for one hundred and ninety two yards, all
of it on that last drive. But here James Cook
keep going. Twelve carries one hundred and nine yards, including
a long of forty two. You had sixty eight yards
from Latavius Murray, and obviously Josh Allen with the short
touchdown run. He had four carries thirteen yards with the
(27:34):
score on the night, you did everything to get yourself
back to a lead despite all of those the unforced
errors right the ball zipping through gave Davis's hand the
fact that you had that botched handoff, which was just
one of the more confusing looking plays you'll see as
(27:56):
the ball looks like Alan doesn't quite tuck it into
the stomach, but Cook doesn't react when the ball touches
his pads and his jersey and it falls, and you
give the Broncos great field position. Look, let's goes four
for four, because that this will never be seen. It
doesn't appear, and he can wipe that away with the
(28:18):
flashy thing from Men in Black. It'll remain in the
minds and hearts and souls of all the Buffalo Bills
fans now going to Anchor Bar to have as many
wings as they can before they close. See retail therapy
of a different variety, Eat your feelings, as this is
the table of girls who eat their feelings. That's really
kind of what it's gonna be tonight, I think in Buffalo.
(28:40):
I mean, you saw the incredulous looks on the sideline
after the pass interference call, the first one, right, that
was the first time in that drive was.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Like, oh, here it is.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
But when you see the flags in the end zone immediate,
it's like, besides delay a game, Yeah, happen. And then
they go to they give your knee the all twenty
two and it's like, let's count them off, what dude, three,
four and five and they're one guy behind the line
of eleven.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I thought for sure it would be false start because
they ran up, They ran everybody out there, because Sean
Payton smart than everybody else, and uh, that's what was
gonna be. But then you know, and here's the thing though,
and this this is this is what what what the Bills.
And another thing to go through for Bill sorry Bills fans,
is that either you're on the field goal block team
you're not right, like you're on the field goal block
(29:29):
team and you're not. So somebody's on the field that
knows I shouldn't have been on the field, because, like
I said, either you're on the and now was this, Hey,
we're gonna keep guys on the field, and we're gonna
try to keep some of you want to keep the
defense on the field. Either no, they want to get
their guys on because it's a it's a it's a
winner lose kick. You're either on the field goal block
team you're not, absolutely disturbing. So again going to the
(29:51):
attention to details. At the end of the game, you
lost your head, you lost the game, and now you're
a five hundred squad searching for answer when your offense
has been inconsistent. Hey, maybe they'll actually stick with the
running game going forward. Maybe they saw that enough tonight
to say, hey, you know what, if we gave him
more than eight carries a game, we might do something.
I thought the Jets had it been no don't forget
(30:14):
they got a stack of four Super Bowls they lost
that they're still dealing with thirty years later. And don't
forget who plays next week, Jets Bills. Let's go look out.
What did Josh Allen have to say following this incredibly
frustrating and awful loss for the Bills. Tell Allen you'll
(30:35):
hear from him coming up next, Josh Allen, keep it
right here. We're just starting to break down Monday Night
football and the rest of all the big action from
Week ten of the NFL. Jason Smith Mike Harmon Live

Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific Fox.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon Live from the tire act dot Com Studios.
The Bills turn the ball over eighteen times in the
game tonight against the Denver Broncos. John Payton, I'm the
smartest coach in the world, tries to rush the field
goal team on for a last second field goal when
he could have kicked it with twenty seconds left because
(31:17):
I don't want to give the ball back to the Bills.
Will Lutts misses the field goal. However, the Bills are
called for too many men on the field. Let's gets
to rekick it and with a second chance, he doesn't
miss this.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
Fall spotted far hash at the twenty six in attempt
of thirty six yards for the win.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Let's kicks it on the way.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
And it is good. The Broncos can celebrate because they
have come to Buffalo and upset.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
The Bills by a final score of twenty four to
twenty two.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Bill's Radio network on the call, the Bills lose twenty
four to twenty two, And like I said a few
minutes ago, I hate the way this game ended because
Sean Payton decided to say, I'm the smartest coach that
ever lived, and instead of just kicking the field goal,
getting his field goal kicker out there and you know,
in a calm situation to kick, no, I'm gonna rush
the team onto the field and take an extra snap
(32:15):
because I don't want to give the ball back to
the Bills with any time left on the clock, and
he should have blown it. But they make the field goal,
they win the game. We're gonna hear from Josh Allen
coming up in a few minutes. But let me just
say this, another bad game for Josh Allen and another
game filled with turnovers for Allen, and it wasn't tell
(32:36):
Allen two interceptions and a botched handoff with James Cook
that looked like the ball slipped out of Allen's hands.
And now the Bills are five and five and Josh
Allen is not quite the quarterback he was and the
Bills are struggling. If you want to say what's wrong
with Josh Allen, that's gonna be the big topic of
(32:57):
conversation coming out of this game. There's two things. Number
one is I know the Bills run the football pretty well.
James Cook, Latavious Murray Tonight turned out fine, even though
it didn't look that way in the end. He still
had two fumbles. James Cook fumble and he fumbled the handoff.
The first thing is he needs a few more design rushes.
(33:17):
He needs a few more times where he tucks the
ball and is able to run, because that was when
he was at his most effective, when he had between
seven to ten rushes in a game, and right now
he's averaging about three or four. They've dialed back on it,
obviously because they want to keep Josh Allen healthy peas
shoulder injury. That Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
I mean, look, he's on the field right right, dial
things back, and he's a guy that has put himself
in harm's way.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
I mean that's been the biggest criticism.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Yeah, but this is little Carol with the ball, but
it's the Hey, he puts himself in the harms way,
So we got to find another way to get a
run game going.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
That isn't all him, but you could tell him to slide,
and you can also have to understand that, Okay, are
we taking away what helps me him great? You can't
take away what makes a guy great.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Well, that's what we talked about with Cam Newton. Towards
the end, he wasn't the same guy right as soon
as the run part of it is gone, he becomes
a better than average, but not the exceptional player that
he's been.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
He needs a little bit more because maybe that gets
him into the flow of the game where he makes
better decisions. He feels like he's more part of the game,
because that's what it was great when Josh he'd follow
his tackle will be oh my goodness, Josh Allen's big.
He's gonna put a hit on a guy. Now, you
don't when to go down or slide. But that's the
first thing. The second thing I see with him is
that the turnovers right leads the NFL interceptions as much
(34:34):
as it's it's the inverse, an opposite from Zach Wilson,
where Zach Wilson at, dude, just throw the ball down.
Just let him throw the ball downfield. Let's not go
five yards every single time. He's got to understand when
downfield the play isn't there, and when you're struggling a
little bit. I get that. I want to make more plays.
I want to go make the plays. But his interceptions
(34:55):
are not Hey, this coverage was disguised or the receiver
ran a bad rout, or a lot of his turnovers
are he just throws. Why are you throwing into into
into double coverage? His turnover the end of the first
half was abysmal. I mean, right down, Gabe Davis is
look you, why are you pushing the ball? Understand that.
(35:15):
Understand the value of a five yard pass. Understand like
all running backs have to understand the value of a
two yard carry instead of trying to dance behind the
line of scrimmage and make a big play and you
lose three yards. Know the value of a two yard carry.
Josh Allen's got to understand the value of a five
yard pass play where if I get the ball the
running back and we gain five. I know it's not sexy.
I know it's not getting the ball all the way
(35:36):
down the field, but sometimes that's the right play because
that's what's killing them, because the turnovers are are turning
into points, and this is what's crushing Buffalo.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
Right.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
You could look, I could look at three games the
Bill should have won where the turnovers killed them. You
got this could go back to the Jets Week one.
The turnovers are killing them, and he's got to take
better care of the football and he's got to make
better decisions and understand that maybe I can't go downfield
as much as I want to on this and I
gotta dial it back a little.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
Yeah, I'm gonna try to go put the super cut
of the interceptions and turnovers together.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Fumbles are what they are.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
But when we talk about some of the interceptions again,
they all count just the same, and in the end,
we're just talking about the cumulative cumulative effect, but a
couple of the turnovers, including against your Jets. I mean,
I felt like he was almost yelling, punt check. I'm
gonna send it up there, and if Diggs makes a play, great,
(36:30):
If not, he's going to tackle the guy at the three,
and it was third and long anyway, or circumstances like that.
Not to excuse it, but we try to, you know,
talk about it in game situation as well as just
as opposed to just giving another notch in that column,
which it becomes. You know, the game Davis sailing through
his hands today, Counce as an interception should have been
(36:53):
a first down at the Denver twelfth, right, So you
just have circumstance change on a dime. But you know,
the look on his face is like he's been punched
in the face multiple times. At the end of that game, right,
ran the ball in to give them the lead, put
the pat up, and so now you're a team searching
for answers because there's been a lot of the criticism
(37:15):
has been on Ken Dorsey of not embracing the run game. Well,
they did today and it worked to get them a
lead established again, but once again, defensive plays and players missing,
guys pressed into action, and an underthrown deep ball which
has become the bane of the existence of all defensive
backs in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
I'm kind of with you.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
I'm hey, ah, Damnity threw an eight yard shirt, so
now you're coming back through me and it's my penalty.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
The worst Twitter at How about a Fresca, Mike gets
Swelling down. Couple of things you could fix the Bills fix,
Josh Allen. Those are the two things on the top
of the list. Can't fix the Jets though. Can't fix
the Jets, but we'll try. Exit out about a Fresca
