Welcome to the Buffalo plus podcast, presented by Connors and Ferris. Mike Catalana. I'm Jenna Cottrell. The Bills with a beat down of the Rams in SoFi Stadium, 31 to 10. Buffalo with a dominant, dare we say, statement, win on Thursday night. Mike, what do you make of this game?
A (0:22)
You called the right word statement. I mean, you know, they've told us the same thing. We were in there for the post game. We asked all the players, and it's just one win. I give them credit for that. I give them credit because I actually think they believe it. But they made a statement to the entire country, to the entire league. To start out the year with. It was dominating that first half. They outplayed the Rams, made those few mistakes with the turnovers, but, man, when they came out in the second half and got the ball, went right down and scored, you could see it was just different. They were like, enough messing around here. What did we say before? They're the better team with the better quarterback. They played like it. Yes, I know, I know. The Rams won the super bowl last year. That's true. But the Bills are the better team and they proved it on. On a national stage.

Yeah, it's so funny. We're recording this podcast in our hotel, in the basement of the hotel, and the song playing right now is Respect by Aretha Franklin. R E S B E C T I think the Bills did a good job of garnering some respect tonight.
A (1:28)
Yeah, it's respect. And it's also. It's kind of weird, isn't it, because they were named the preseason super bowl favorite, right? And then a lot of people like, yes, the Bills, they look great. And then the natural way it works, we have that. And then people start going, wait a minute, why are the Bills that team? I mean, come on, you know, they can't beat the Chiefs in the playoffs, and Cincinnati made it to the super bowl and all that. So typically, in this cycle of the way the world works, we prop the Bills up. And I say we, but in general, they were propped up. And then it was like, okay, Bills, let's see what you got. And, you know, in the Nick Wrights of the world tweeting about Josh Allen during the game, I'm like, nick, I know you got a big gig and all, but I don't think he was watching the game. He was blaming him for the interception. Like, Josh Allen was spectacular in this game.
B (2:21)
I'm at the point where if you think Josh Allen is not the real deal, you are an idiot. Like, you just want to choose ignorance, which, I mean, whatever. But, I mean, Josh was spectacular, especially in that second half. I look back at some of those touchdowns. I mean, the touch, the rushing touchdown. He had the one to Isaiah, and then obviously the. The one to Stefan Diggs. I mean. And let's talk about the stiff Arnold. I was. I was on the field shooting the game. I was recording the game for our TV station as well, so I didn't get a great angle of it, but it seemed. I mean, it's all over TV right now.
