We did understand and we didn't know that this is going to be a tough opponent regardless and so these guys aren't going to care what we did last week.

0:09.0

I don't think any other team is going to care what team they have next did prior.

0:16.0

Guys are going to come out and guys are going to play and this is the league and this is how it works and it's very good because I would say it's also very humbling for a lot of people.

0:28.0

To be able to have the highest high and then you lose in a manner like this and yeah it's very humbling and it's you know for some it's much needed.

0:44.0

To talk about low after yesterday's loss so much for my theory about quarterback showing up in his pads after after a loss being a good sign.

0:54.0

I don't know if there was any good sign yesterday for the dolphins. It started off like a track meet and it was touchdown touchdown touchdown touchdown touchdowns like tennis match and eventually the bills broke serve and all it took was one and that was it.

1:09.0

It didn't surprise me look I hedged my bets I thought the bills would win the dolphins would cover it was stupid I mean it was it was time for the dolphins to walk into a hostile environment riding off of that that huge tidal wave and it made the bills extra ready.

1:30.0

Yeah that's right you heard the way Sean McDermott was talking about that offense he coached them up the right way they were ready it was a chance for them to reassert themselves now they'll have to go back and play Miami again later in the year.

1:41.0

And maybe Miami evens it out then but it really doesn't surprise me played out that way because the bills had shown us since that week one debacle against the jets.

1:52.0

They had refound their footing and I'm getting so many hostile emails from bills fans are saying oh how's that Jenga tower doing it's like well you know the thing about a Jenga tower is sometimes it falls and sometimes it doesn't right.

2:04.0

But early in the season they were doing this it's stabilized kudos my point is it felt like the whole thing was going to fall after and after losing to Zach Wilson and the jets.

2:16.0

Following the injury Aaron Rogers how could anyone dispute that the Jenga tower was wobbly yeah and they held it together you thought it was going to fall week two against the Raiders I did they held it together.

2:28.0

And they've looked very good especially on defense but total team effort exactly what they needed it can't just be Josh Allen and last three weeks.

2:39.0

It hasn't been just just out no and this is why the bills suddenly look like the team that everyone has been hoping they would be especially bills fans for the past four years yeah that's right and yeah I'm with you I thought maybe the window had closed on the Buffalo bills the way last season ended you know who was going to be the other people to jump out on the offensive side of the ball all those questions I started to wonder yeah can they can they make this happen one more time.

3:08.0

Obviously proving both of us wrong here and like no doubt now through four weeks that they're one of the four or five best teams in football.

3:17.0

But like to how you started that is the big thing one nothing's more motivating to an NFL football player than fear right and they saw that game last week and their defense was like oh shit we better be on it this week or they're going to be running all around our football field

3:35.0

and we retiree kill and waddle and most certain attract me and we're going to get embarrassed in front of our home crowd.

3:41.0

And then of course the other side of the ball with Josh Allen and company they're going the same thing going damn you know we got to keep pace we got to be on the game our game this week you know the dolphins might score 50 we might have to score 51.

3:53.0

So that itself you know showed up on yesterday on Sunday they were on it they had answers for everything that the dolphins were doing.

4:02.0

Now I think you got to start out with McDermott and the defense a game plan. I mean one McDermott is a defensive genius.

4:09.0

He is as you've heard me say a lot and master at coaching zone coverages they're awesome at passing guys off playing certain areas as far as the breakdowns.

4:19.0

Then doing what we just saw in the last two clips there getting hands up if you're going to play the Miami dolphins with these quick throws and everything.
