Shatrick. Well then, that's aggressive. Welcome in. It is Jaguars Happy Hour. Presented by Heritage of North Florida, Jacksonville's premier roofing and remodeling company. Busy show ahead. It is the AFC wildcard playoff game this Sunday. One o'clock kickoff time at the bank for the Bills and the Jaguars. We'll get into defending Josh Allen and James Cook. The Bills quarterback and running back from the best rushing offense in the NFL. Jaguars have the best rushing defense. We'll break down the matchup. How to attack the Bills defense. Good and pass D. Not so good against the run. We'll see what Mark Duffner thinks about it. Former Jags linebackers coach in studio to give us a scouting report on the Buffalo Bills.
And then at 5 o'clock, Jags HQ on the Jaguars radio network, Buscelli and Gladstone live in studio. Coming up, we're on 1010XL, 92.5 FM, Jaguars.com, Jaguars YouTube, J.P. Shadrick, Jeff Lagerman, former Jags linebackers coach Mark Duffner. All right, guys, the playoffs are here.
Love it. Absolutely love it. Happy New Year to everybody, but we love it right now. Are you kidding? The atmosphere here is electric.
It's a lot of roof logs. Going back to the days as a player, I remember my first experience ever with the playoffs was in New York, and we didn't have a winning season. And we went to Houston and played. That was a Kevin Gilbride, Buddy Ryan, punches thrown playoff game. And then came here, and it was different here because, you know, we felt like we had a good football team back in 96. And what I really understood at that point was is that you get paid to play in the regular season. But when it comes to playoff time as a player, I would have played for free. Every single day and four or five times on Sunday. To be in playoff football, it's the greatest thing ever if you're a football player.
No, and if you're a coach, it's the same thing. You work all year long for that opportunity, and they're hard to get, and that's what makes them so attractive right now. I mean, there's nothing like that. And I'm so pleased that this team, this organization, the town is back to feeling what that's all about and enjoying what that's all about. It's tremendous. They've earned it.
How do the Jaguars plan to defend against Josh Allen and James Cook?
Yeah, they've earned it.
I mean, they've earned the right. I mean, congratulations. I mean, AFC South champs, eight consecutive wins, winning games you should win, winning some games that maybe many people thought you shouldn't. And right now, arguably the hottest football team in the NFL. Now, that doesn't matter, though, right?
The reality is the ball's on the tee.
It doesn't matter now.
It's single elimination. No, it is. But what you just said was right. They've beaten five teams that are in the playoff tourney right now.
What strategies can the Jaguars employ to attack the Bills' defense?
They've beaten. And, again, when you see some of the accomplishments this team has made collectively and individually, it's really been impressive. And like I said, let's enjoy the hell out of it. I hope they are.
We'll dig into some of the matchups coming up, clearly. But, I mean, from the Bills' perspective, talking to some of the people in Buffalo this week, I mean, they feel like this is the window for Josh Allen. Noma Holmes. The last 14 AFC championship games have had either the Patriots or the Chiefs in there. So they feel like, at least looking at it from up there, that this is a path to ascend to the top of the AFC and return to the Super Bowl. Alas, they have not won a road playoff game since 1992 in the AFC Championship game when they beat the Dolphins to go to their last Super Bowl. The Jaguars are 3-0 at home in the wildcard round in team history and have fared well here at the bank. All that is historical things.
The Buffalo perspective is that, okay, this is now the windows here for Josh Allen.
Yeah, I mean, just because of the Patrick Mahomes issue of the past, what, four out of the last five years.
