00:00All right, there's some big conversations obviously going on right now
00:03as the trading deadline is 4 p.m. Eastern time today.
00:06A lot of teams looking for positions, and most notably,
00:09especially after last night's debacle with the Minnesota Vikings
00:12at the quarterback spot.
00:14Adam Schefter is reporting that the Vikings have begun conversations
00:18on trying to bring in a quarterback.
00:21Obviously, Kyler Murray's not getting it done.
00:24Carson Wentz was a train wreck last night.
00:26Kevin O'Connell is addressing this right now.
00:30And he was addressing this question last night at the podium.
00:32I know it's a quick turnaround to the trade deadline,
00:35but is there any chance or any thought in your mind
00:38of at least considering a quarterback, acquiring a quarterback?
00:41Yeah, I'll defer to Nolan on that.
00:44We've had dialogue about a lot of different positions
00:47and tight turnaround, obviously playing the Monday night game before that.
00:51And we'll get right to work on any potential moves that can be there.
00:58But really just focused on, you know, the game tonight
01:01and which was not good enough in any way, shape, or form.
01:04Do you talk about a train wreck of an organization
01:06when it comes to making the quarterback decisions?
01:09You land on J.J. McCarthy.
01:11Then you have Daniel Jones and you have Sam Darnold in the building.
01:15You allow those guys to roll out of the building.
01:18And I'm under the premise that you're going to make the right decision
01:21at the quarterback decision?
01:22Wow, you've got a long way to go.
01:24And I'll tell you something here.
01:26You need to appease this dude.
01:28You need to make this guy happy because he is your franchise.
01:33Is the solution maybe Nolan bringing somebody in
01:35before the deadline tomorrow afternoon?
01:37Not sure.
01:37That's on Nolan.
01:39That's on Kale.
01:40That's their job.
01:41My job is to continue to get open, continue to be the leader of the team
01:46and come next week and hopefully, you know, things change.
01:50Man, I wonder if I'll ever be able to wear a million-dollar necklace like that.
01:54That's incredible.
01:55I love that thing here.
01:56The game itself was absolutely a tough one for the Bills early on.
02:02Obviously, you're going to take on Brian Flores.
02:04But Brian Flores looked like a goat on the sidelines with that flat brim.
02:07I love the defense that he calls.
02:09And Kevin O'Connell knew that this was going to be a very tough game.
02:15I think it's just a mindset of going out there.
02:18You know, in no way, shape, or form was tonight acceptable.
02:24You know, it told the team it starts with me.
02:28And 100% defense was on the field too much.
02:31Thought they battled.
02:32Thought we made some plays in the kicking game.
02:34Just not even close offensively to what we want to be.
02:40Thought there were some opportunities to kind of flip that game a little bit
02:44at multiple times.
02:45But we just, you know, never got Carson in a rhythm.
02:51And, you know, tried a bunch of tools to see if we could help that happen.
02:54And just I didn't do a good enough job doing that.
02:58Across the board, our team, they'll stick together.
03:01We're 6-2.
03:02That's what our record is.
03:04And we got to go back to work.
03:05And we got to go back to work and really evaluate, you know,
03:09what gives our team the best chance to win and play the game accordingly.
03:14So put tonight 100% on me.
03:17It's not about any one particular player.
03:21But we've got to improve offensively at a rapid pace.
03:26With a divisional game on a short week, our guys will handle it the right way.
03:30We'll get them turned over.
03:31And we'll go compete.
03:33No question about it.
03:34By the way, I'll get to Superman in a minute here.
03:37But you can't have a 6-2 football team and no offense.
03:40The Minnesota Vikings have one of the worst offenses in pro football.
03:43And they're sitting at 6-2 in the toughest division in the National Football League,
03:48the NFC North.
03:49Carson Wentz was brutal last night.
03:51And he knew he had to take advantage of what that defense did last night.
03:55And he was unable to.
03:57Anytime you got a great defense like that, I mean, you know all the things.
04:01Take care of the ball, sustain drives, all that stuff.
04:04That's kind of complimentary football for a defense that we have.
04:07But at the end of the day, when they're playing as good as they have been, you know,
04:11as an offense, as the guy pulling the trigger tonight, I feel terrible.
04:14I feel a pit in my stomach that I let those guys down.
04:17We want to go make plays.
04:18We want to sustain drives.
04:19We want to do all those things and score points.
04:20And we, quite frankly, haven't really done it all year.
04:23That's just a headless team, isn't it, when you don't have a quarterback sitting there
04:26like that can move the chains and also just be competent.
04:30Speaking of competent and speaking of moving the chains, you know,
04:34one of the most important things you have to have when you have a football team
04:37that's going to contend for a Super Bowl, you've got to be patient.
04:41You know when you're taking on a Brian Flores defense, you know that this is going
04:45to be a hard-fought football game.
04:47And Josh Allen, he took his time and he knew his spots.
04:52I think it's just a mindset of going out there and not being result-driven,
04:58going out there and being process-driven and understanding what they're trying to do.
05:02And at the end of the day, having fun playing the game of football.
05:05Bad play early on, wipe it, next drive, let's go.
05:10Just, again, finding the joy in the game itself and going out there
05:14and having fun with my teammates.
05:16You know, we've worked extremely hard.
05:17And like I said, this game is what this game is.
05:20And we're going to do it having a good time.
05:23That guy sent out over 280 emails at one time when he was being recruited in high school
05:30or maybe not being recruited.
05:32And only one school got back with him, and that was Wyoming.
05:36And now look at him.
05:37He's the best player in the National Football League.
05:40And he's carrying that franchise on his back.
05:42There's no doubt you've got the best player in the National Football League there in Buffalo
05:47at the midway half.
