Finding the way. Find the way every week. Camolo Buffalo Bill, no overthinking. All right, go play football. We play the football. Exciting time to be a Buffalo build of the fan of the Buffalo Bills. Welcome into Week fourteen of the Sean McDermott Show, presented by Connors and Ferris, your workers comp attorneys. I'm Steve Taskin. As always, I'm pleased to be joined by Sean McDermott, coach. Thanks for being here with us. Lost a tough one of the Patriots on Monday night in some of the craziest weather we've ever seen in Buffalo, and that's saying something. What was your message to the team after a game like this, Well, my message was really it was everything that we didn't do as to why we got the result we did, Steve, And it was obviously not the result we wanted. And we're capable of doing more as a team, and we had opportun ttunities to win the game at multiple times and we didn't get it done. So those are things we got to get correct moving forward. Yeah, there was a bizarre game. Mac Jones only attempted three passes and the Patriot and I want to know how that Patriots refusal to even try to throw the football impact your defensive game plan as the game unfolded. Well, you know, we figured that going into the game quite honestly, you know, with the way that they had played leading up to our game with their formula. In addition to that the weather that we know we were going to get, and so we knew that they were going to try and run the ball, including on third downs potentially especially going into the wind. And I thought our guys for the most part, did a good job with it. If you take the one big run away that said, you can't have that big sixty three sixty four yard run because that really hurt us, in particular when they were going against the whim when they didn't have to or didn't want to throw the football. Yeah, your offense also was one for four in the red zone. Unlike most teams in the NFL, your red zone success has really been tied to your wins and losses this season. What do you think have been the biggest challenges for your offense in the red zone. Well, I think just consistent and see as you alluded to, and we got to find a rhythm down there. We need to have positive plays and not go backwards and through negative plays penalties where we're off schedule, and so we need to find a rhythm down there, and rather quickly. Here Josh was fifteen to thirty through for a season low one hundred and forty five yards. He's also able to connect with Gabe Davis for a touchdown. Now, the weather was a huge factor in this game, But how do you feel about the way Josh played on Monday night? Well, I think there was opportunities. There really was, and I thought Josh created some of those opportunities with his feet and also with his arm. He did some really good things. Then there was some he wants back. And so, as you mentioned, when we're in that red zone, the multiple times we've got to cash in and at a minimum it's got to be point, but you'd like to get seven. Two out of the four times we were down there, we came away with zero points. And besides, as you mentioned, the one big play, the explosive play that the defense led up in at first half, you really held the Patriots office in check for most of the game. You're able to force a couple of three and out. So he gave the offense multiple chances. What do you think away, you're your defense played well? Again, I thought they gave as you say, gave us a chance. No one wants to give up that run that we gave up early in the game in particular like that, and as you look at a big picture wise, you say, hey, did they give us a chance to win the game? And I believe that the two fourth quarter drives where we got off the field gave us multiple chances to win the game and put together good drives to score and go ahead and win it. I know it's tough to focus on the positives coming off a tough loss like this, but were there any players that stood out to you on Monday night when they put you saw their performance on tape. There were, you know, there were at times for everyone. Everyone had their highs and everyone had some plays that they went back. But when you look at it, I thought Dane Jackson really did a good job in his debut out there for us at corner, and I noticed on the offensive side of the ball, I thought we did some good things in terms of some of the runs that we had at times, and then again some of the connections we made down the field with some of the receivers, but again overall not consistent enough. The NFL also this week amounts to the Walter Peyton Man of the Year nominees for each team, and this week Harrison Phillips was once again the Bill's nominee. What can you say about the work Harrison does in the community and how much this award means? Yeah, you know, I mean, Harrison's a class young man and he comes from a great family and has all the core values and intangibles that you want. And it gives me great pleasure and joy as a coach. And not only have a player that in Harrison that we have on the field, but a class act off the field, and a guy that has really bought into the Buffalo area in the Western New York community, and he's paid it forward for everything he's been blessed with. He has paid that blessing forward in my mind. All right, thanks, coach. We're gonna catch up with you later in the show to get your final thoughts on your upcoming matchup with the Buccaneers. The game plan is presented by Energy Mark, the official energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills. Game treat view is presented by Independent Health. You deserve the red shirt treatment. Mattie glad here with Week fourteen's game preview. The Bills are heading to Tampa to take on the defending Super Bowl champions in the Buccaneers. Buffalo will try to spoil Tampa's three game win streak and perfect five and oh record at home. This season. The Bucks lead the NFL and scoring, averaging thirty one point four points per game and are averaging the second most yard per game at four hundred and three point seven. Tampa's defense ranks tenth, allowing three hundred and thirty two point eight yards per game and twenty two and a half points per game, which is good for sixteen. They do get after the quarterback though, ranking second with ninety quarterback hits, have thirty two sacks, which is the fourth most in the NFL, and blitch thirty four point six percent of the time, which is the third most in the NFL. Buffalo still ranks high on offense and defense time for fifth, averaging twenty eight points per game and second allowing only sixteen point three points per game. Josh Allen has twenty nine total touchdowns, which is the third most in the NFL. Buffalo still has the best defense in the NFL, allowing just two hundred and seventy two point three totally yards per game with twenty six takeaways, which ties for second most. The Bucks leave the series against the Bills with seven wins and four losses. The Bills beat the Bucks thirty to twenty seven in their last meeting in twenty seventeen. That's this week's game pre game, steve back to you, Thanks Maddie and coach. You're coming off a short week and you're going on the road to face the defending world champs. What's the most important thing your team can do to get a win. Well, we've got to come together and we've got to respond. And that's what resilience football teams do, and that's what's called for this time of year. It's it's tough sledding. Whether you squeak out a win this past week or you lose like we did in a close game with opportunities. Get to stay together and you got to find your resiliency and it's got to come through during these moments. Now, you came in your first time head coach, you've been in the AFC East. You know this last week you face Bill Belichick, this week, you're facing Tom Brady, arguably the greatest coach and now the greatest quarterback. How what's the difference between preparing for a tough head coach and a tough quarterback like you're going to face this week in Tom Brady? Yeah, great question, Steve, one of them on the field playing and the other ones on the sideline. So the execution hinges more on the gather's on the field in this case with Tom Brady maybe the greatest player ever to play the game, greatest quarterback perhaps as well, and certainly had great success, won a lot of world championships, and they're the defending world champs, so it'll be a great test for us as we head down to Tampa. Yeah, thanks, coach, good luck on Sunday. We're gonna be back next week to recap this game against the Buccaneers and preview your Week fifteen matchup against the Panthers.
