00:00I keep thinking about this team and how this team's ready for this.
00:04I don't know if it's going to turn out they're going to win. Of course not, right?
00:07They could go and we could have another heartbreak.
00:09It could be a few bad bounces, bad calls, whatever.
00:13A couple turnovers that are uncharacteristic.
00:16I just feel like this team compared to that team and where each is,
00:20this one for the Bills is so much...
00:22It's ready for this moment and this time to be in this position.
00:28I like the way I've seen this development all week.
00:32In my own head, if that makes sense.
00:34Do you sense a difference at all in the attitude and the confidence
00:40of the players that have been a part of those losses
00:44as opposed to some that maybe haven't?
00:46That would mostly be rookies.
00:48I mean even beyond last year, Sal.
00:50The AFC title game in 20 and then the 13 second game.
00:54Not a lot or I should say a lot.
00:57Maybe it's just not all.
00:58How many of these guys have actually been around for all of them?
01:00Right. I was listening to Khalil Shakir yesterday
01:03and I'm thinking he wasn't even here for that 21 game.
01:06He wasn't on the team yet. He wasn't drafted.
01:0822 was his first year. This is his third year.
01:13So I'm thinking right because he was drafted later that year.
01:16There's a lot of really core players who just haven't been a part of it.
01:20That was three years ago now and four years ago for the last time
01:23the AFC championship and Von Miller wasn't here.
01:26A lot of the core guys who were here are not here anymore.
01:31I know that Micah has come back on the practice squad
01:34but no Jordan and Stephon Diggs and Gabe Davis
01:37and Mitch Morse and that group.
01:39Even go down to the depth of Saran Neal and guys like that
01:42who aren't here anymore.
01:43Do I sense something different, Joe?
01:45I think only in this way which is the Bills really have taken
01:51this week-to-week approach all year.
01:54It's not that they haven't in years past
01:57but you really get the sense that nothing has changed
02:00this week when it comes to that.
02:02They're just really approaching this game.
02:05They have every single game all year trying to go 1-0
02:08as Josh always says.
02:10I know you can't quantify that. I get it.
02:12They all know what's on the other side.
02:14Spencer Brown had the quote of the week.
02:16Spencer Brown was asked,
02:17have you thought about the two extremes of winning and losing?
02:19He said, one will be a really big celebration.
02:21The other is me with a 24-pack by myself.
02:23They know.
02:25Then someone else on Twitter joked and said,
02:27I guess that means 24-pack by yourself either way.
02:29Celebration. That's what it is.
02:31I love that.
02:33I know that they understand the gravity of it.
02:37They really do.
02:39But I just feel that they have taken this really calm,
02:44collected, deep exhale approach to every week
02:48and they're not tight and wound up
02:51and thinking about these games in years past
02:53and these clips that you played and things like that.
02:55I think that's healthy.
02:56I think that permeates from a lot of the stuff
02:58we've talked about with Sean McDermott
02:59specifically over this past year to be honest with you.
