Joseph hold that -- Is on the road this is going to be. Going to be pretty dreamy assignment I would say Joseph be right about San Francisco happened there was a lot of time for sightseeing in San -- but still. Hang out -- -- and the time change like you know they've they've got -- -- pretty well for. I'll know Bulldog it's it's a -- nightmare no it's not as. I'm I'm water and. -- in trouble and riveted on I don't our -- to clients a more web columns. Or something gives you learning about it -- -- but. I hope they will they will be pleased to hear that I've. I've only gone outside be eaten most of most of my day has been -- inside my hotel room looking at that they fell over and over them. You are grinder -- we do know that about -- no doubt about it and there is lots of info from -- will be lots more this week goes on WGR. 550. Dot com Joseph buddy -- tells mark on he sees a lack of urgency and and a and a lack of intensity. In in the two games. Back to back here -- six quarters of football with a -- just been stomped. By the patriots and by the 49ers. Hard to argue with that certainly considered the way -- games have gone by. Well I I I I can't believe. That. There'd be an intensity. Or urgency problem. In the San Francisco game given the way the second half of that New England game. Yeah and I don't know that it was. Necessarily an issue. Early on in the game. I felt that the bills were were pretty doing pretty well. Considering everything I mean. Defense they had that solid goal line stand to keep paper just go out of out of the end zone and hold them to three point Nick Barnett was great. On the goal line there and then. -- and -- will collect the offense started moving the ball a little bit in the first half that are able to get themselves field goal but. Of course that the defense surrendered a touchdown but that often to get close. Was moving the ball. Or they were trying to move the ball near the near the talent in the first -- there and Scott Chandler. Got himself stripped. And away the rest of the game went and in that second half. I mean it's -- for the second straight week they were just outclassed. Outmanned. Out so played out everything you could you could possibly. Conjure up here now they were just. You know they they weren't able to establish. Any sort of physical dominance. Defense. They want able to impose their will on offense and can make -- Cisco react but basically what we saw -- both the offense the defense rather than. Baking and making the opposite side react to what they were doing they were reacting to what the 49ers were doing and whenever you have both sides of the ball during -- that's a recipe for disaster and you're just you're just. You wind up just. Find yourselves. A little bit. You know behind the eight ball because. There's there's so many times where it could be reactions are probably not -- good ones resident. In your view of things you're anticipating they're not always what appeared to be you know also it it was a it was bad shape for the built in the past. Hey Joseph you know I eat eat I know I've heard. Howard Simon Chris Brown on the round tables are not pregame show coverage here and WGR. Reference. -- the feeling as though it was possible his team got rattled all the way back to the pre season game against Pittsburgh. Before half time with Israel that long drive and I know brownie in particular recently that that really bears watching. You know early this season. And I'm thinking about the conversation Mike and I were -- with Stevie Johnson yesterday talking about their ability to. You know manage adversity handle it this -- around. And whether this team really had is a big problem in this area. I'm starting to think maybe that really they do. On -- and we've seen. Three games in three regular season games where things have not gone their way and then it's just. Like an avalanche comes down him and did and they just -- buried. The jets game did not did not start out the way they wanted to do when don't even know. You know it it was only like I've got to work three score game. It it felt like it was over very early in the neck contest and it's the patriots game. You know once once the patriots took the lead even though they're only up by seven points. It felt like decade was over. And and this one as students Scott Campbell. Maybe -- after structural problem because they did get the ball back in the second half but there actually you know what what Mario Manningham trotted in for that there. Uncharted medical Crabtree -- for that touchdown at the end of the first half yeah I think I think the -- -- -- that that was over at them so it it's it's really disconcerting to. Does see this team again and again when adversity hits them. To just kind of cold up there and and that's not only gonna win games in the NFL you're not always going to be on top for the entire game what it worked at the -- the browns you have to win a physical game that you have to be able to come back from deficits and the bills just haven't children ability to do that. Thinking about. You know I'm an old that the players would certainly say every season's different every group has different. But you know I'm thinking about this point in in in if you'll allow the small context of apple football or an entire game from this year. And then I'm thinking about a seven game losing streak last year an eight game losing streak in Chan -- first year here. And just wondering if if this team. Has the ability. I mean it's I think flat out they don't have the ability I'm not really wondering I mean I'm almost asserting that they don't they don't know the moved here 20. Know that they did and they don't and if if things don't go well in in this upcoming game against Arizona. -- Very. Easily see them having another long losing streak here and they've already lost the Q&A -- now it was airs on that makes its three Tennessee probably their best shot. And then there's no way to -- a winning -- that are at New England so they could be staring at another six game losing streak if things don't go well in the -- on the games so. It's definitely concerned it has so why. These long losing streaks plagued this team I have. I have certain. I have certain things that aren't. I think are the reasons for -- and you know no one of them being the quarterback and other of them being you know. Mediocre to below average. -- play at the quarterback position being another. But there's and dinners. It's it might be I don't I don't even know what if it is it cultural problem inside the locker room more. Or what what the deal is because you know offer a third straight year that might be facing -- long losing streak and and that just. Can't happen in the apple when you're trying to snap the biggest play out skated in the NFL currently -- active. The biggest active -- it and it's just it's. It's not only a great time to be a Buffalo Bill that point in time. I would Joba -- he is in Phoenix with the bills traveled out west the bulls staying in in Arizona this week in advance of Sunday's game at. The cardinals for a five kick off here on WGR. Joseph a part of my comments already with you hear reference Stevie Johnson and talk with Stevie Johnson and and he indicated to us yesterday that. But he's got some ideas about. You know maybe how to go about things on the sidelines and -- get. That specific but he was specific enough. So -- to indicate that. There were some things that we're going on down there on Sunday that he was trying to affect. And teammates were kind of talking him out of it. And town to come down because it was gonna look bad I'm wondering like what you might have added anything to that. And you know what were you know. Really that's it -- view noting that about any of that. Well I don't know how much the the cameras showed down on the side by our -- on -- I'd sit on I didn't see any of the -- I I heard I think that you guys did talk about it. Maybe off the error during the broadcast or even on I don't know but it didn't get shown on TV that I know. Right well for the second straight week. Stevie Johnston. When is I don't I don't wanna go as far as safe -- but he would miserably match. And you know a lot of that were spurred on by frustration and in being a competitor and and all that. But every time it seemed like if you think back to the patriots game -- necking when but he was opened and -- an actor couldn't hit a bomb. -- row and he would react and if it would be an outward reaction you could I remember you could see those on the on the broadcast. It was less obvious against the 49ers what. When he came to the sidelines it was kind of justice. Long and it assists spare into its space sort of thing just this. Inside his own head it didn't really wanna be bothered that sort of thing but. And because you don't it's the frustration of getting the better of them. In -- Kirk Morse and came over to -- and and really just. You know try to get try to -- down in and -- -- words we're trying to you know. Just IISTV about that conversation. After the game and he said that Kirk told them just you know. Continue. To fight through it and to -- continue to work hard at their achievements in all and all that stuff so. I don't know what Stevie was. -- reference to him I don't know he meant she wanted to blow up at somebody on the sidelines but I don't really think that's his style you know but but it. You know it he has been visibly. Frustrated over the past couple weeks and for good reason -- operatives have been able to do anything over the past six quarters so. IA I can understand we're comfortable. You know I I would wanna say Joseph that I think it's it's a fine line. And someone cautioning him about how something might look without knowing what's being said or what his intentions are. Is sensible enough. But. At the same time like I think may be this is this like a little too Psycho analytical four vote for some people's taste but. I wonder if this group. Causing Noelle what how to see what needs to be said to one another because. Maybe. They don't feel like they've earned it maybe they're not good enough for not performing well enough. To do the leading or being the one calling people out whatever it is but. I think that's got to stop because that. Until that happens I don't think you're gonna dig yourself out in -- learn how to respond to adversity everyone's afraid to offend their friends -- teammates. Right that the thing I was thinking -- that entire time you're you're gone through that the Psycho analytical -- as I'm sure everyone. Has been in a relationship where you know they're they're seeing this this this person and there's. It. Both of you are afraid to just say something because then that might ruin everything you know and and that's that's kind of we're kind of what I figured it net. No just justice kind of not I don't know it's an awkwardness but. Just afraid to step on anyone's toes not to rock the boat to bought shouldn't. Sometimes you just have to shake them up a little bit you have to and that you don't you wanna keep that passion you wanna see that -- Mean there's there's guys on this team that. Our purple old fashioned simple fire it -- and I would put -- each operated adopt -- that so you know sometimes you'd like to see and then never you never want to see it. Be done over the top right side you know is sometimes you just wanna see. That -- from the players to see that I don't know that that big. I don't wanna see it but I don't care -- you wanna see it just further the sake of security it is to know that the peace. I don't I understand workable for. I think almost was for me for my own sanity I just think what you said I think it's healthy. I think you need to have -- some brutal honesty you know if someone's not pull his -- I think they need to be called out there needs to be some peer pressure. And I'm just I'm wondering -- like a theory that I'm I'm in the I'm in the process of working my way through. Because -- talking with him yesterday. Like really just got me thinking about it like I'm just not shirk. That this group. Emotionally. Has the mechanics -- the aptitude in place to like figure out problems they're not -- problems solving it seems to me. And I mean at some. That the means a big deal so I'm I'm really watching that I think it it is the kind of thing that could explain. Them not responding. The way you'd like to see them respond. When these games circled the wrong way and mean it's really on the table this week because they have. A week together to economy be sort that out. And a game against the team that is not a super team even though they have a good record in Arizona. You know and that would just add one last thing to add to what you double -- accountability needs to be president. And there can no longer be 88 passive aggressive nature did it mean they're. You have to attack but you can't just assume people get -- sometimes you have to actually -- those things and as far as that this opponent coming up yeah I think the cardinals are like for the -- to be perfectly honest or offensive line. Is in shambles they have Wayne Hunter are starting left tackle who wasn't even good enough to beat the jets starting right tackle this past year. Heard the deceit and and he's. This will be offered to wind is in great so that that means being the defensive line can you get back into gear here. They're running back their top two running back art. Donald right now are starting running back is going to be some guy -- William Powell what I'm assuming will be one of the most added in the -- football leagues around the league just because you know he might be getting starting touches but that doesn't mean it's not there -- good. It is so there's some major in the -- and of course they have Kevin Cobb who I would. Port right on par with with Ryan Fitzpatrick as a quarterback. So there there is this matchup is a little bit. And it is matchup is viewed as favorable to a certain degree but. Turkey -- is still very good. And the bills are gonna have to you know be able to act acute on offense that they would they wanna have a shot at winning this game but. I think their defense that they'll look at for a a bounce back week against the that would get the team what you'll bit weaker on offense the this might be a good what good wanna start so. Are registered to see how old they start to. Invective against the cardinals because that's going to be the most important thing for them when they started off hot. They've they've been able to stick in games and they have really been able and it it and they've only done it twice against achieved in the grounds but when they started slow out of the gates that it just -- all it's like a Rolling Stone Deborah ball static or extremist is this just. It's good it's bad the whole way through the rest of the -- -- they just don't know how to pick themselves up out of that. Joseph Staley is out west with the bills in Arizona. It is very good today and Mark Anderson or is that probably that could happen till tomorrow because today's conflict than the day off for the team. Yeah players have a day off today coaches have a day off from speaking what -- so will get that update tomorrow. All right how big a deal that pre Emmy night I I suppose it should. Yeah he's not he has not been good against the run and you know we just -- back -- here doesn't have too many pressures so. They. -- I will say it would probably be a loss against an offensive line like the cardinals. You know he just hasn't really played up to expectations just yet but helping him in terms of a rotation standpoint I think it would be lost -- --
