00:00It's a four-year problem coming to a head.

00:04It came to a head last year.

00:05They were able to get through it.

00:07Amari Cooper, the trade of Cooper, the surprise of Hollins,

00:11the freshness of Joe Brady's offense, how well Allen played.

00:15They never turned the ball over.

00:17They were able to get through it, even though it was obviously a problem last year.

00:22And now, it's all come home.

00:25And if you think about the four- to five-year timeline, like you said,

00:27four-to-five years, I know it's four-to-five years because for four-to-five years,

00:32they've needed it, and went all the way back to when they drafted James Cook,

00:35and it was think of him like a receiver.

00:37Then they drafted Kincaid.

00:38It was think of him like a receiver.

00:40Then they drafted Keon Coleman, and it's think of him like a receiver that he isn't.

00:45He can't be on the outside.

00:46But what if he could?

00:48All right.

00:49Let's see it.

00:51So it's been obvious.

00:53And people talk to me a lot about the receiver because, you know,

00:58I drive the train, play this gimmicky bit where we hit a horn,

01:02I've got a board behind me because I'm leaning into the idea that they go,

01:04all right, let's go do this.

01:05Let's make this thing happen.

01:06This team really needs somebody at this spot.

01:09But it wasn't ever a hot take.

01:10It was always very clear.

01:12Everybody knew it.

01:13Everybody knew it.

01:15And it's, you know, it is where it is right now.

01:17And if Josh Palmer and Dalton Kincaid come back,

01:21then maybe the Bills can, you know, get this thing over the line

01:23and get this thing back on track.

01:25But, man, you're just really praying for what?

01:29For Josh Palmer to be the thing that rescues you.

01:32And the Kincaid injury, like, he's probably out this week, right?

01:36He's out this week.
