00:00All right, so what's the worst part of the loss yesterday, Mike?

00:04We were just having a debate about this,

00:06and obviously Patriots fans not feeling good about this today.

00:12What should they feel worst about?

00:15I feel like, well, it's the worst home loss

00:19in terms of largest deficit loan since 1978,

00:25so let's start with that.

00:26But I think the way it happened where you couldn't control

00:30the line of scrimmage, that's where I would start, Hardy.

00:33They were able to run the ball right down your throat.

00:37Mike, I've said that this game kind of declared before it started

00:40and that the Bills knew the Patriots were going to bulk up

00:42and play base defense against the run.

00:44They were going to play man coverage in the back end,

00:46and that's really what you want to do against a Josh Allen team

00:49that also has the best running game in the league.

00:52Let's say they do meet again in the playoffs.

00:54Am I missing anything?

00:56Is there something further in the bag of tricks defensively,

00:59which was the big problem yesterday,

01:00that they could go grab to help themselves in a way

01:03that they didn't do yesterday?

01:05A couple things, Andrew, I would say personnel-wise.

01:09The Robert Spillane thing was interesting to me

01:11where he was active, went through warm-ups,

01:14and then didn't play.

01:15I mean, he's their best run-defending linebacker, in my opinion.

01:19Get Milton Williams back at defensive tackle.

01:21So personnel-wise, I think that would help.

01:25At the same time, I'm reluctant to pin it just on personnel

01:29because look at the Bills.

01:30They were playing without their best corner in Christian Benford.

01:34So I actually think it comes down to just playing better fundamentally, Andrew.

01:38I felt like this was one case, and I might be off on this,

01:42where the bye might have hurt him

01:43because I didn't think fundamentally they looked very sound,

01:48especially in the second half against the run.

01:50I went back to watch it really quickly this morning.

01:53It looked like the pad level was high, and they missed a lot of tackles.

01:56And that's not really the Patriots' defense that we've seen

02:00for the better part of the year, although recently against the run,

02:03they have been sort of springing some lead.

02:09So I think that's a bit pretty müDIC stuff for each other.

02:11So if you're about to say something about this,

02:14you might as well, like a first day of being done,

02:16you have to do this.

02:17So I'm going to kind of ask for more advice about

02:19and do it on the Bel recommandelle.

02:22So please let me know how Kahlo.

02:24I think we do it.

02:26I'm going to be mongering it, are going well70.

02:27How can we get pмотр Cabal?

02:28Well, great to see you next morning.

02:30Well, we've got Timo Avieh Mibeclips.
