2:42
Sunday Night Nickel City Crew special. That's nothing wrong with that. I'll get
2:46
a chance to start your week off with this. And we really do enjoy
2:49
you guys joining us. We have really just seen the love grow. I
2:52
know you've seen it to DT with the live shows that I think it's like
2:54
four consecutive weeks are just over one thousand viewers on the live platforms. We
3:00
really appreciate the crew out there are from our ogs like Noah and Josh Kluel
3:05
all the way through to some of our new listeners. I was talking to
3:07
a buddy of mine from high school says that he listens. I was like,
3:08
I didn't even know you listened. Fam, So DT, we are
3:12
growing that the crew is growing everything that we wanted. We're getting so we
3:15
will take some downtime. We've got, you know, training camp coming up
3:19
in summertime. But other than that, when the players break, we'll break.
3:22
We're gonna take some time off, and then it'll be ramp up time.
3:25
And what are we ramping up for the twenty twenty four Bills season.
3:29
We knew the opponent's DT, now we know the order. Week one,
3:32
Buffalo hosting the Arizona Cardinals one o'clock PM out there Row. It's just,
3:38
I don't know, something when that rolls off the ton DT, that shit
3:40
just feels good. I don't know. I can't even explain it, man,
3:44
these primetime bills, like you say, Man, it's just we're I
3:47
just love one o'clock. Something about it DT, especially with the homeover.
3:51
It's something about the sun shining a nice day in Orchard Park in September.
3:54
I don't know if you can beat it. Man. It's a bill's holiday.
3:58
It truly is the It's gonna be what we're good at. It's in
4:00
our wheelhouse. We are professional tailgaters, and you know, we we're getting
4:05
good at all the rest of the times. But one o'clock is there still
4:08
our meat potatoes. We know it's all to be how to be there and
4:12
what and what levels we need to be through those hours of the morning tail
4:15
meat. But you know, got to love Its gonna be good weather hopefully
4:18
you know it's at least gonna the temperature wisees is gonna be cold. You
4:21
know, we can't we don't know about rain or anything like that. But
4:25
you know, starting the season, we've been away the past couple of years
4:28
and you know it's time to time to get back to it, baby,
4:30
get back to the roots and that one o'clock game. And you know there's
4:33
no cupcakes in the NFL. You know, obviously let's be rid with that.
4:36
But you know, you come into a team that uh, you know
4:40
it is has a lot of improvement to do and and you can see,
4:44
you know, Marvin Harrison right out of the gate, sure and get these
4:46
these cornerbacks ready to go. So I love it. I'm gonna We're gonna
4:49
be there ready rock and roll and you know hopefully that's a that's a one
4:53
and o game. Yeah. Absolutely, it is interesting. You talked about
4:56
Marvin Harrison Junior get a chance to see his debut, a lot of hype
5:00
around him. The consensus it seemed like number one wide receiver in the draft
5:02
class, so we will get a chance to see him up close and personal
5:05
again at the rough one o'clock. We will give our predictions at the end
5:09
of the show, but to let that be a life little slow burned.
5:12
For tonight's episode, Week two, The Bills Thursday Night in South Beach.
5:18
Now we found out this little schedule league. I think it was the night
5:21
before Amazon Prime put out. Yeah, they put out their little promo DT
5:27
and when I saw it, I just thought, like, Miami vice.
5:30
I saw like I think of those little Miami Heat jerseys that they came up
5:32
with a couple of years ago, all colorful, and I'm just like,
5:34
I'm down with it, man, Miami sunset strip, Like I'm down with
5:39
it, man, Like, let's go. I like the fact that I
5:42
like the fact that it's at night, so that's going to mitigate some of
5:44
that. That's the sun that is blaring down. And we remember that game
5:46
where Steph had the IVS and all these players were going out. So I
5:50
like the fact that it's at night, so some shouldn't be a real factor.
5:54
But it's still going to be hot. It's still Miami and quite frankly,
5:58
we still own them right now. Josh Allen is still their daddy.
6:00
So I'm gonna be really excited to see how this new version of the Bills
6:03
takes on a formidaal fold because we know that the AFC East with Miami and
6:08
the Jets have gotten better, and we'll see if we can stay on top.
6:11
When you're when you're the kingpin, DT, everybody's looking to knock you
6:14
down. And then that's where the kingpins are down in Miami, right,
6:19
So then the boys, the boys gotta go down there and and take it
6:23
for themselves. So yeah, I like it. You know, you gotta
6:27
the game that you're gonna need to win, and you can hopefully ride some
6:30
momentum, you know, hopefully up all win the Sunday before and go down
6:32
there and take on that divisional opponent. The Mafia loves going down to South
6:38
beat Rob And this is even better. Now you've got a four day weekend
6:41
you can get on, you know, down and down in Miami. Get
6:44
up, get out there, you know Wednesday or Thursday, stay out there
6:46
all weekend and take over that stadium, take over that strip. And yeah,
6:54
so they were they were filling the stadium last year, you know,
6:56
from the division on a Sunday night. Now they you can take a you
6:59
can take a nice long weekend down in Southeast. Yes, true, Mafia,
7:03
that's true. I didn't think about that. Yes, if you leave
7:06
Wednesday, or even if you leave it, if you left early Thursday and
7:11
you've got Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and then you know you can travel
7:15
back Sunday. Yeah, that game is and the game is the start of
7:16
it. You know that kicks off your trips. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
7:19
yeah, that is. That's kind of dope. That is kind of
7:21
dope. I know that we're looking at trying to go to one away game
7:25
this year, and we haven't ironed it out quite yet. We were waiting
7:28
for the schedule to come out, so we'll we'll talk more about that throughout
7:30
the offseason as we approach preseason. But yeah, that'll be interesting. Yes,
7:33
that is a nice long weekend and you can have some fun down there.
7:36
I know Bill's Mafia will be well representative, excuse me, well represented
7:41
now Week three Bills Again, it's funny when you look at the schedule,
7:45
it was four out of the first six games are primetime games, and that
7:48
is just it speaks to what you always talk about. DT. It's funny
7:51
when you say primetime bills. We talked about a pre show. But I
7:55
mean Josh Josh Allen is like I mean, he's the ticket. Like he
7:59
is, he's must see TV like you talked about. The NFL obviously picks
8:03
up on that same tenor again. Week three, Jaguars at the Buffalo Bills
8:09
at the Ralph Monday Night Football. I guess it's a Monday night football double
8:11
header DT. We're at seven thirty yep. I think the Commanders come right
8:16
after us at around eight o'clock or eight thirty DT. I like this when
8:20
I look at the schedule, I just I like the fact that it's a
8:22
little seven thirty. We won't get out as late Monday night football. You
8:26
know that they're going to bring their a crew for our game. I mean,
8:28
I I love it. There's nothing that I don't like about it.
8:31
I love it. Yeah. I mean I'll just say this too. We
8:35
owe them one. We owe those. They got a little thing with the
8:41
Bills. But in Buffalo, the Bills seemed to you know, handle my
8:45
number back. It was back when rookie year. Yeah, well, the
8:48
Urban Meyer year for surest Jacksonville. But I'm saying the last time they beat
8:52
him at home, Okay, when they played them at home, they beat
8:56
them, yes, yes, so so get them, get them more more
8:58
coomfortable in week three and I like that and the fans perspective were the voice
9:01
of the fans, right, Robin, That's right, And that's getting out
9:05
that if you go to that game, your seven thirty year home before midnight
9:09
as opposed to a regular you know, eight thirty start, it's probably one
9:11
one in the morning, your Tuesday's probably already shot. But you might be
9:16
able to play burning at both fans and be okay, you know for Tuesday
9:18
after this one. Absolutely Now Week four, continuing the trend again, four
9:26
out of the first six games, Nicol City Crew Bills Mafia our primetime games.
9:30
That's because of your quarterback. That's because of the president that has been
9:31
set by him. Bill's traveled to Baltimore Sunday Night Football NBC against the Ravens
9:39
DT. I mean talk about staying in the limelight. I mean we go
9:43
from Miami, you know, to be back home for a Monday night football
9:46
game and then right back out to Baltimore. For a marque matchup against one
9:50
of the AFC's you know, top teams. I mean they were in the
9:52
AFC Championship game last year against Kansas City after Kansas City beat us, and
9:56
they really did have Kansas City down the ropes. They should have won that
9:58
game. I mean, completely honest, they fucked up that game. I
10:01
mean, Bills Ravens, what do you think? I mean that is like,
10:05
that's a prime time matchup. I guess Lamar Jackson lost a bunch of
10:07
weight. He's going to be even faster, they say, and then obviously
10:11
they have Derek Henry in the backfield, King Henry. I mean that could
10:13
be an intributing matchup, man. I mean the Bills, there's no where
10:16
to hide this year. We we've talked about that before. I know they
10:18
did this, you know, you know, tear down and the rebuilding with
10:22
a younger group. And we'll talk about that as the off season goes on.
10:24
DT, but this is I mean, you're gonna have to take your
10:28
medicine these first six weeks because this is this They're coming right at you.
10:31
Yeah, I mean talk about the ramp up and turn that now, like
10:37
this is it? You better do that ship Week one. Yeah, when
10:41
this is your Week four, when this is your Week four matchup, because
10:45
I mean, we don't have to speak to how how crucial this game is
10:48
going to be. Whether the Bills drop a couple in the first three games
10:52
and then this turns into a must win, or you know, they come
10:54
in undefeated and it's like, okay, when's the letdown coming? You know.
10:58
So so either way, either way, this game is gonna be,
11:01
you know, very sketchy for a fan. You know, no matter what
11:05
the what the situation going into this, we're gonna be a little sweaty palm
11:09
going in, going into whatever the situation is Sunday Night. But Super Bowl
11:13
Contender, AFC Champions last year, you knew, you knew we had to
11:16
play them. Let's let's go get it. And last time we went in
11:20
there and stole one. So hopefully we don't leave it to luck this time
11:22
and get it done. Yeah. Absolutely, It'll be interesting to see now,
11:26
you know, as we again, as we proceed through the schedule,
11:30
DT and I will give our predictions at the end of the show. Again,
11:33
this is a Sunday Night special. The schedule of release. We missed
11:37
you on Thursday we missed your nicchol City crew, we missed you Bill's Mafia.
11:39
We're gonna be right back at you with the live episodes in full force
11:43
again. I had to move, so some schedules got flipped around. DT
11:48
was golfing today. Yesterday I was still moving getting everything together. But we
11:50
are. We're gonna be back at you. Don't worry. We love the
11:52
live episodes, we love the interaction with the fans. But please enjoy this
11:56
episode tonight and tomorrow. Chew on it and give us your thoughts in the
12:00
comment section. For sure, when you guys get a chance to listen to
12:03
this, what do you guys think the Bills are gonna do this year?
12:03
This is the ramp up, this is the new uh my co host says
12:09
Josh Ellen, Phase two. I mean I can't wait too. I'd literally
12:13
already have an episode down in the off season that's ready to go for Pace
12:16
two, So I can't wait to talk about all that stuff now. Week
12:20
five, Revenge Game of all revenge games. You already know how I'm gonna
12:24
feel about that game because and it's funny because the Bills will travel to Houston
12:31
one o'clock and it's funny because I mean a lot of people, not just
12:33
me, but a lot of people in dewlgr a lot of fans and Bills
12:37
Mafia were just like, oh, yeah, that's definitely gonna be primetime.
12:39
It's definitely gonna be primetime. It's funny to look at the schedule, DT
12:41
and that it's not. It's almost like you could have almost flipped the Ravens
12:46
game and said, okay, Ravens one o'clock in Baltimore, and then flipped
12:50
it to a Sunday night game. But either way, one o'clock the Bills
12:52
go to Texans. I mean it is the Stefan Diggs revenge gaming. You
12:56
already know. My heart's gonna be conflicted. I would never want the Bills
12:58
to lose, but i'd be I would be personally lying DT if I didn't
13:03
want step one to go off for a little bit. I mean nothing.
13:05
No, I mean I said I want never, never want the Bills to
13:09
lose, but I mean they can have you can have two touchdowns and we
13:11
beat him, you know, thirty five fourteen. That's cool with me.
13:13
But I want you want to get a little love. Yeah, man,
13:16
you know already know, come on, you know, and they traded it
13:20
like ship on the way out the door. So yeah, I it'll be
13:22
interesting. DT no nothing, no, no good blood between this one.
13:28
It was almost unanimous how it was. This was a primetime game, right,
13:33
everyone liked bet. We would have bet it. It was the safest
13:35
bet on the schedule from what everyone thought. But I don't know. I
13:39
like it. Back to one and now we'll be wanting that one o'clock game
13:41
again after those three prime time games back in a row, and you know,
13:45
good teams are playing, so going up to another another good one,
13:48
a rising you know Houston Texans team. But I'm open for that sophomore slump,
13:52
maybe sophomore slump from uh from mister Stroud and you know, sure give
13:58
give gigs a few We'll see. But I think God go in there and
14:01
take care business. Yeah, I mean it'll be interesting. I mean,
14:05
I can't wait. I think that the Houston Texas have already have already leaked
14:09
that they're going to wear those new third jerseys. I can't lie. I
14:11
like those new third jerseys. I like the little new logo that they've gotten,
14:15
stuff like that. So it'll just be an interesting matchup. I mean,
14:18
you know, regardless of what you think of fourteen or you know,
14:22
what you think about his exit from Buffalo, one thing that cannot be disputed
14:26
and I won't. And that's why I still argue with people on exit Twitter,
14:28
whatever they call. I still argue with people because you cannot ignore his
14:31
production. He had a lot of great production for the Buffalo Bills. So
14:35
regardless of how you feel about him as a person or his social media habits
14:39
and what in the case may be, he helped elevate our quarterback, Josh
14:43
Allen. He helped elevate this Bill's offense, and a lot of people will
14:46
attribute to the fact that he elevated the competition and the expectations within the locker
14:50
room. Those all things that are important to me. Those are all things
14:54
that to help us get closer to our ultimate goal of the Super Bowl.
14:56
So regardless, I'm sure he's going to be amped up for that game now,
15:01
to say the least, now Week six, DT, I mean,
15:05
the schedule just does not get any easier. Bills at Jets MetLife Stadium,
15:09
you went there last year, you had a great time. Monday Night football
15:13
again, our second one already of the season. DT. I mean Aaron
15:18
Rodgers. There's no Leonon Floyd, so he should be okay, even though
15:22
Lennon Floyd's playing a week one, which is just a funny fucking twist that
15:24
the Jets have to go to San Francisco. That's just funny. It's just
15:28
it's poetic that way. But assuming Aaron Rodgers stays healthy, this is the
15:33
matchup that everyone thought they were getting last year when obviously the Bills kicked off
15:37
everything on nine to eleven and you were there, attended and an eerie I
15:41
don't know, this game is an eerie feeling to me. I hate that
15:43
Monday Night again. Monday Night again is you know, like I was so
15:48
pumped up and ready ready to roll, and you know, they they they
15:52
they made us straight up. So it's in a way, maybe maybe we
15:56
look at it as a revenge game on our own of how we kind of
15:58
kicked off the season with a thud last year, and Josh, that's okay.
16:02
Last time, I you know, I came here, I played like
16:03
a complete jackass. So I'm gonna I'm gonna strap up for Monday Night and
16:07
actually give the people a nice show so we can we can hope on that
16:11
and but man, I I wanted to see that at either at you know,
16:14
four or one o'clock. I didn't need that on Monday night. Again,
16:17
just like getting my ass to that bus so fast last year before all
16:26
that ship I was talking, I gotta get my ass to the bus.
16:30
Somebody. That was so funny. You were talking so much shit. I
16:33
remember. I remember that you were talking a lot of ship with the people,
16:37
with the fans out there and having a good time, and and that's
16:41
that's funny. That's funny. Well you won't be there, so at least
16:44
that'll be different. How about that. I'm probably probably not hitting this one.
16:47
Let's let's go there and uh, you know, so we'll see what
16:49
happens there. Oh, I love it. I love it. Yeah.
16:52
Now Week seven the Bills, Uh, we'll be back at home again,
16:56
a nice little Sunday one o'clock game again, getting back in our wheelhouse of
16:59
what were used to and you know, obviously the drought days stuff like that.
17:02
So these primetime bills can't stay off a prime time they do avoid it.
17:06
Week seven Bill's at home at the ralph against the Tennessee Titans. I
17:10
mean it'll be interesting to see, yeah, I mean a rebuilt receiving core.
17:15
DeAndre Hopkins still got it. Will Levis kind of looks like he could
17:19
be some sort of deal. I don't know if he's the real deal,
17:22
but a flash of a deal. Somebody calls him. Somebody w GR calls
17:26
him Josh Allen light Diet Diet Josh Allen because he's like that. There we
17:36
go. So they they got a good offense and and we'll see a lot
17:41
of guys they got to cover with Calvin Ridley. Calvin Ridley tore us up
17:45
last year. You know, so when the jackson when on Jacksonville, so
17:49
he comes in with DeAndre Hopkins. That's it's a matchup to watch. Yeah,
17:53
it'll be interesting DT. I mean, you know, Tennessee, they've
17:56
got they beefed up. You know, there's nothing all the way to really
18:00
go around it. They beefed up. They've they've made some dedication to their
18:03
offensive side of the football. I think, what do they have. They've
18:04
got d hop They've got Calvin Ridley. Now I think they just brought in
18:11
somebody else to Tyler Boyd Right and Tyler Board used to work with the head
18:14
coach Bryan Callahan. You know, it'll be interesting. They are not to
18:18
me, They're not a joke, you know what I mean. I don't
18:21
know if they're you know, competing for the AFC South or they're gonna win
18:23
the division or anything like that. I'm not I don't really get Tony Pollard
18:29
like. It just seems like they understand offense and they understand that they've got
18:33
to go after it, and I, you know, I respect that.
18:34
One of the reasons though, I always want an offensive coach is as opposed
18:38
to McDermott, because an offensive coach is going to make sure that the GM
18:41
is working in conjunction with him to address let's address my ship because if we
18:45
score more points, it doesn't matter how many points the other team puts up,
18:48
if we're going to be making sure they we're efficiental on offense. So
18:51
I'm not this we'll say it now, schedule release. Who knows what the
18:53
season is gonna say, you know, turn out to be. But I'm
18:56
rob his own record saying that I'm not taking them as a joke at this
18:59
point time. I think that they have loaded up on offense, and I
19:02
think that's the right thing to do. Now. Week eight, Bills will
19:06
travel on the road. That's the first West Coast trip. I heard something
19:08
interesting on gr DT that the Bills actually have like second least or least amount
19:15
of airtime travel, like miles traveled in the air, which is really good,
19:19
you know what I mean. You know, obviously we had to go
19:22
to London last week excuse me, last season and shit like that, and
19:25
obviously everybody was arguing over when we went and in YadA, YadA, YadA.
19:27
So not a lot of West Coast trips outside of you know, Seattle
19:32
and LA and it's really nice DT a four o'clock game on Fox Seattle new
19:37
coach. I understand that they've got a defensive coach, just like they just
19:41
had with Pete Carroll. So you know, a lot of people think that
19:42
they're gonna look very similar in that respect. But you know, who knows
19:45
about Geno Smith? Who knows about you know, his weapons? And I
19:48
know that you know, DK Metcalp and Tyl Lockett are obviously prime time in
19:52
that respect. But I don't know, you know, sometimes the new coach
19:56
comes in and they give him a spark. Sometimes it really doesn't even mean
19:59
a hill of So they've always been competitive. I don't think you can go
20:02
out west and overlook them. No, not not at all. And man,
20:06
another week of some prime receivers. And this is a this is an
20:10
episode you know for this is a different episode. But yeah, we talk
20:14
about, you know, leaving Stefan Diggs your highest producer, and that every
20:17
week you play teams that you know, have two or three studs, you
20:21
know, even in Seattle, who really is probably our weakest game on the
20:25
schedule since Arizona, you know, starting with Arizona with Marvin Harrison to Seattle
20:30
having DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. So that wow, Yeah, so the
20:37
two easiest games on your schedule still got some dudes to guard and and and
20:40
obviously we're gonna see a gauntlet you know, in between that too. So
20:45
just really kind of made me think about it when you you know, we're
20:47
talking about the offense for the Titans and then bet Boom and now we're at
20:49
it with with lock and Metcalf and granted they you know, I'm not like
20:53
shaking in my boots, but no, it's guys, you gotta you know,
20:57
real definitely respect and who knows if they got going on with the quarterback,
21:00
you know, Smith's really checking hide and hot and cold and hopefully he's
21:06
got a cold on when the bills come out to the West Coast. That
21:08
just got raty written all over there. I know later in the year,
21:12
like later in the year, Sunday afternoon, I think, you know,
21:15
brain game. Yeah, coming back and then coming back from commercials, you'll
21:19
see the food district, the seafood district down there, people throwing the fish
21:23
into the papers, and I mean you could already see all that shit already,
21:27
so we could write that for them right off the bat. So yes,
21:30
hopefully the bills are on their piece and queues again at the end of
21:32
the episode, we'll do our win loss records and figure out where we they
21:36
stack up. Now, Week nine, Bills Division opponent, we already know
21:40
him very well. It'll be one o'clock at the Ralph. Bring them on
21:44
to town. Now, it's not gonna be that cold, you know what
21:45
I mean cold. It'll be Buffalo, you know, November tenth. It's
21:48
gonna be Buffalo, excuse me, November third. But it's not going to
21:52
be a blizzard hopefully or anything like that. So you're not going to get
21:55
any cool. Mike McDaniel's t shirts or anything like that, and I wish
21:59
it was cold and all the other the bullshit, So it'll be interesting.
22:00
The Dolphins come back to Buffalo after their trip down to South Beach. Bill's
22:07
Dolphins one o'clock. Week nine. What do you think? I mean,
22:10
another crucial divisional game and this is only what yeah, oh no, we
22:15
have the gets so our third divisional game, you know, of the year.
22:18
And you know, if again kind of back to that Ravens point earlier
22:22
in the year, if you're one and one in the division by this time,
22:25
you know, this is another must win, you know, kind of
22:26
stacked in there before you make that Thanksgiving run. So I like him,
22:30
you know that. It's like you said, it's gonna be probably a cool
22:33
game, you know, and hopefully it's it's clear in the precipitation, but
22:38
not going to be super cold. It's just going to be a matchup on
22:42
matchup head on had and you know, hopefully Josh Allen continues to be the
22:45
father of the Who's Your Daddy? I know it? I love it.
22:51
Now. Week ten, we are approaching the bye I think the buy is
22:55
in a perfect spot this year. But Week ten, Bills on the road.
22:57
We had talked about this games DT as a as an away game destination.
23:03
You've got Saint Elmo's, You've got you've got some some prime steakhouses in
23:07
Indianapolis. I went there a couple of years ago. You remember, I
23:11
missed the Bills home opener the Titans because I was working at a at a
23:15
job that had me at a conference, so I was in Indianapolis. The
23:18
conference was in Indianapolis and it was nice. We went to a steakhouse I
23:22
actually was. I think it was like the sister restaurant of Saint Almos or
23:26
whatever that place is called. And it was great, great steaks, great
23:27
cut, nice people. You know, DT, Bills on the road one
23:33
o'clock against I guess Anthony Richardson and the new look Xavier. What's the other
23:41
guy? Is not worthy? What's the other thing? Mitchell? Yes,
23:48
Yes, the the the Colts GM customed everybody the fuck out after the GM
23:52
because they were talking about Mitchell. Yes, Bill's Colts. What are your
23:56
thoughts? That'll be fun, A good a good match up there. If
24:00
Anthony Richard Richardson is healthy, you know that's gonna be He's he showed some
24:03
promise last year and he's got a cannon now has another weapon with Adi Mitchell
24:07
and and Pittman signed back there for some money and you know, ready to
24:11
lock in. And and you know, Taylor obviously in their defense, has
24:15
kind of come around. They got some all they got the Forest Bunkers and
24:17
all bro up up front. A good matchup. Lucas Oil is a great
24:21
stadium, and yeah, I got some My my family, my uncle and
24:25
cousins lived down there. My a little what my cousin just said, she
24:30
just moved into an apartment basically across the street from Lucas Oil, right right
24:33
downtown when I was downtown. My mom and grandma are down in Indianapolis as
24:41
we speak. Actually, I think towards that, yeah, towards that.
24:45
It's it's a night it's like kind of got a Buffalo vibe to it type
24:49
of city, but a little bit sir, and uh uh, you know,
24:53
definitely not the most expensive city in the world. And uh you fly
24:59
or drive, it's you know, he's gonna drive all the way from Buffalo's
25:02
only about seven hours, so right, I would I would have to see
25:04
what it is from Charlotte. But yeah, yeah, I mean it's doable
25:08
for sure. I know that it's doable. So that's interesting for game ticket
25:12
wise. You're not going to have to be dropped, you know, five
25:15
six hundred bucks to get into that one, and you're gonna be and you're
25:18
gonna be comfortable. I mean, a nice little dome. I mean,
25:21
I know that Bill's Mafia doesn't like to hear that because I always talk about
25:23
that that we missed an opportunity. But I mean when I went to Detroit
25:26
a couple of years ago for Thanksgiving to see my sister, I posted it.
25:30
You guys see it on my Instagram. I was like, I can't
25:33
front. It's nice. It was nice to walk into a stadium and take
25:36
my coat off and just sit there and be comfortable. I couldn't hate.
25:40
There was no way that I could hate on it. I would just be
25:41
a hater. I'm not a hater. So it'll be interesting. That'll be
25:45
a fun game. I think I think it was a good candidate. Yeah,
25:48
I think it's a good candidate, especially with all your family. I've
25:52
already gone to see my sister, so I think that we should switch it
25:53
up this time. Maybe me and you go out and meeting Indianapolis. That
25:56
might be that might be. We'll circle that. Well, we'll circle that,
26:00
We'll be back. We'll let you know. Nichol City Crew will be
26:02
decided because it's either Indy or Detroyan. I would love for you to come
26:04
see my sister and see how they rock. She's also close to ford Field.
26:07
I mean literally like five minutes from ford Field and we had a fucking
26:11
blast down there for the Thanksgiving game. But we'll see that that that might
26:15
be the leader in the clubhouse. I know the PGA Championship was today.
26:18
That might be the leader in the clubhouse. Now Week eleven, DT,
26:23
I mean how many how I mean, they're gonna talk shit about, uh,
26:30
the Xavier Worthy trade. They're gonna, they're gonna hype up the fact
26:33
that Patrick Mahons beat us in the playoffs. I mean, they're gonna they're
26:37
just gonna do everything with this game. They're gonnahype up the fact that the
26:40
Bills have beat the Chiefs in the regular season three consecutive years. But what
26:45
happens in the playoffs DT, Chiefs come to town Week eleven, I mean,
26:52
it's it's it's a little bit wild to me because of the fact that
26:55
I mean, I'm so sick of them to the point where like they're they're
27:00
nauseating to me at this point in time, they are really, really,
27:03
really nauseating, Like they're now all my nerves to the point where it's not
27:07
that I don't respect what they have done, it's the fact that they're all
27:10
my nerves so much because of fucking Taylor Swift, and they're all my nerves
27:14
because they winning all the championships and now they're all my nerves because they're going
27:18
for three straight and it's unprecedented and it's never happened, and they just it
27:22
seems like they stay in my fucking face, and I really am starting to
27:26
have a disdain for them again. I know that that's how I felt with
27:29
it with Brady and the Patriots, Like it wasn't because there was anything that
27:33
they did. It was the fact that they kept curb stopping us all the
27:34
time. We were never competition for them. It really irks me that we
27:38
win these games in the regular season and then when it comes time for the
27:41
postseason, we can't get it done. It irks me. I know that's
27:45
gonna come up. I know they're gonna talk about the Brandon Bean, Xavier
27:47
Worthy trade. I know they're gonna talk about all that, and that's gonna
27:49
be even regardless of what Worthy did week one through ten. They're gonna talk
27:52
about that before that matchup because we directly traded with them. DT. Chiefs
27:56
come to Buffalo, they come back to Orchard Park four twenty five. Yes,
28:00
we're hosting it, and then at the same time DT, yet it's
28:04
fucking regular season, Like I like, wake me up when the game is
28:07
over. I mean, I'm being honest. I'm I'm being honest. I'm
28:10
not trying to be an asshole. I'm being honest, Like the fact that
28:12
we continue to lose to them in the playoffs and how much I'm starting to
28:17
hate them, And I don't even use the word hate like sports hate.
28:19
Wise, I really do hate them, like I'm starting to get starting to
28:22
get worse for me. DT really couldn't agree more, couldn't agree more.
28:26
Everyone was kind of you know, like you hear the murmurs, like,
28:30
oh when we play in the Chiefs is that prime time? Like I was
28:32
like, I don't care. This game is the least game I care about
28:34
on the Schlusship because I get I get hyped up for it. Every year
28:37
and we and we beat them and find ways to win and look dominant against
28:41
them, and then you know we can't get it done. So I couldn't
28:42
agree more. This is this is the game I cared the less about,
28:47
the least about. Even Oh it's in Buffalo, I don't care. It's
28:48
it's in Kansas City. We beat them, It's in Buffalo, we beat
28:52
them. It doesn't matter. On November you know what, what is it?
28:55
November seventeenth, seventeenth, Yes, yeah, right before Thanksgiving? Yeah,
29:00
yeah, I love that you all my energy because I know that we
29:03
might sound salty right now lose against the Chiefs. I don't even I'm not
29:07
saying care, but yeah, it's it'll depends. It'll depends on what the
29:11
record is. It'll depend on how much I can yeah exactly. But I
29:17
definitely don't need to feel like I'm I have to. I definitely won't feel
29:19
like I have to be there, like you know what I mean or anything
29:22
like that. I know we got the season tickets and stuff like that,
29:23
but like, I won't feel like I have to be there. I won't
29:26
feel like even if I'm in Charlotte, like, oh, well, I
29:29
gotta cook out, and I got like, I like, it's almost one
29:33
of those games where you just like you might wake up late, you might
29:36
miss some of the pregame, and then you just wake up and you know,
29:38
it's twelve o'clock. It's twelve. They're like, okay, let me
29:41
turn the game on and I'll just watch. I am. I am now
29:44
starting to become separated from the emotions because I I really I poured. I
29:51
poured. I poured everything into last last year. We came up with every
29:56
excuse and and and I'm and I'm I'm guilty of it as well. We
30:00
came up with every excuse over why what? And I was like, okay,
30:03
what did that? What was I always saying? DT just put that
30:04
motherfucker on the plane, and then what was that doing? All of you
30:07
know, the tailgate, you know, pregame like he's, oh, he's
30:10
here. I hope his night was horrible last night. I hope somebody pulled
30:12
the fire alignment at the hotel, you know what I mean, Like,
30:15
I hope somebody, Yeah, Patty, like exactly, we fried Patty a
30:22
nice juicy bitch, Like yes, Like I mean, I poured so much
30:26
into last year off the fact that he was in our building and it didn't
30:30
matter. Yes, the Bills played a good game in respects to the score
30:33
was close. I do not agree with their tactics, but their tactics almost
30:37
work. And then we can go into all the arguments about this, this,
30:41
this, this, this, this, this and that, and I'm
30:42
not doing that shit tonight. So I love that you're on that energy.
30:45
I do not care about the game, and the least I care about I
30:51
really don't give a fuck. As we continue to transition again, we will
30:53
give our predictions at the end of the show. Week twelve is the buy
30:56
week DT. Really good time for the by week to be completely honest,
31:00
six games remaining. I mean, by the time week twelve comes around,
31:07
you've got injuries. You've got you know, nagging injuries. Even if guys
31:10
are playing, they're playing through stuff. What a perfect, perfect way to
31:12
come into bye week because you're hosting KC bye week. Go ahead and rest
31:18
and lick your wounds, and then you come back and you're hosting Sunday Night
31:22
football against the forty nine ers, the Super Bowl representative from the National Football
31:27
Conference last year, DT. It doesn't there is Honestly, you can't script
31:33
it up any better than that. Now, obviously you could say, well
31:33
I want a cupcake before the bye week. There are no fucking cupcakes really
31:37
on the bill schedule. So it's gonna be a tough schedule regardless. Like
31:41
you said earlier in the show, DT coming off the Chiefs game, bye
31:44
week at home, and then you do again host the forty nine ers.
31:48
They have to fly across country. It is a Sunday night game. I
31:52
mean, what are your thoughts, man, the NFC champs, the raining
31:55
NFC champs coming to town. I like it. I love the bye week.
31:57
I just love it. I love it, love it, I love
32:00
it nineers. Back back to business, Back to business. We have that
32:04
game against the Chiefs, and you know, go on that bye week and
32:07
rest, Thanks go Gab, Thanksgiving, Thanks chill last week, and then
32:14
you come back. Okay, you're coming back after Thanksgiving and work's coming up
32:16
Monday. But first let's get this dumb you know, Sunday night against a
32:21
great opponent, coming into into the stadium, getting back on the getting ready
32:23
to roll, and McDermott, McDermott undefeated, uh, coming out of his
32:28
buys. You know, so last year I said, oh, This is
32:30
awesome because we're playing the Chiefs out of our buye and this is why I
32:34
want him. You know, we're most will be most prepared for the Chiefs
32:37
after a buye. But now we know how we feel about the Chiefs game.
32:40
So let's why I can roll, you know, to the forty nine
32:43
ers. It'll be a good one. A lot of superstars on the field
32:45
that night. You're gonna see a lot of names out there, and uh,
32:50
you know, right after that Thanksgiving holiday and ready to roll. Ramping
32:53
it back up. A nice little tidbit for the forty nine ers in general,
32:59
they play the Bills, and the Bills are you know, on their
33:01
by coming off their by, and then when they play the Chiefs, they
33:05
also have to play the Chiefs coming off their by, So they're playing the
33:07
Bills and the Chiefs after both of those teams had a week to rest.
33:14
Yeah, I like it. I mean I like it. The NFC champions
33:17
are going to be hard. Christian McCaffrey. You know, Debo I Yuk.
33:22
I mean, I know the Bills are working to trade for not the
33:24
Bills, but Bills Mafia was wanting to trade for Ayuk in the off season.
33:28
And that came. That whole chatter was a big buzz. So it'll
33:30
be interesting to see I like it, you know, I mean, I
33:34
just like the back of the Sunday night. I mean I do like primetime
33:37
games. I'm not I'm not anti primetime. I just feel like last year
33:40
it got a little fucking carried away and it was just like god damn,
33:44
like we are never at one o'clock anymore, like it. We really are
33:45
the primetime Bills, like you always say. So it'll be interesting. That's
33:49
week eleven now Week twelve would be another West coast trip again. I had
33:52
mentioned that somebody, excuse me, week fourteen, excuse me, I'm way
33:57
behind. But week fourteen, after the San Francisco game, I had mentioned
34:00
that the Bills don't have that many long trips. And long trips, so
34:05
we got we already got Seattle out of the way earlier in the season.
34:07
We'll go out west again to to LA. And anytime I see the Rams
34:12
logo now the new Rams logo, and they're rebranded because they're back in LA.
34:15
They're not the Saint Louis Rams. Anytime I think about that, I
34:17
always just think about that fucking game to start the season, the season open,
34:22
and I was just like I DT, I thought we were on the
34:27
precipice of Like I was like this like when that happened, when that game,
34:30
when that game started, I was I was nervous because all off season
34:35
it was everybody's crowning us, and everybody's like the Bills are next in line,
34:37
and the Bills are next to line, and the Bills are next to
34:39
line. And then you know, von Miller coming off of Super Bowl with
34:45
them, chooses us. So you remember, you remember that episode we had,
34:47
the vond Miller episode. It was like I was so excited that he
34:51
was there and then the performance and I was like, holy fucking I don't
34:55
even I mean, we have to. I might have to go back into
34:58
the archives. I might even name that episode like I think I named it,
35:00
like holy crap, this could be like this could be the year,
35:04
like we just dominated that game DT. Every time I see that logo,
35:07
I'm like, man, I I thought we were on the precipice DT of
35:13
of our of our parade. That's all I want. You already know that.
35:15
That's that's all I want. I know that that's what Bill's Mafia wants
35:19
Bill's at rams for twenty five on Fox DT. How at me what you
35:22
got man? I mean every time, I mean I promise today every time.
35:27
Course, Yeah, today on the golf course, we were talking about
35:29
that game, Lion. You that with that we can you know, we'll
35:34
record some listeners. No One and Brett they listened to the Nickel Pinkles and
35:40
they were we were talking about, you know, going out there, and
35:43
just while we were it started talking about Isaiah McKenzie and how he like fumbled
35:47
against the Colts and you know, like all the like funny things why McDermot
35:52
would bench him. And then that game he caught a touchdown and he also
35:55
did have a fumble I think that game. But that first drive coming right
35:59
out of the gate, popping them straight down to uh gave Davis. It
36:02
was a perfect executed offensive drive And yeah, I feel you. That was
36:07
a great game going in there, taking down the defending champs there and good
36:09
team you know overallver it's it's gonna be a test obviously, always is going
36:14
on the West Coast. But another beautiful stadium. Another if you if you
36:17
missed the opener two years ago and you heard all the mafia that went out
36:22
west and had a good time at the beach parties and then went into the
36:24
beautiful new stadium. This might be your chance to go back and get to
36:29
LA because you missed it the first time. So another good travel ticket.
36:32
The you know, the Sunset Strip. Maybe, I mean, it's it's
36:37
crazy, DT, I mean, it's crazy. I just I don't know.
36:39
It was just the entire vibe. Just I just I just I see
36:44
that logo and I'm like, damn, man, we were fucking like we
36:46
looked like rock stars that night, Like we looked like, holy shit,
36:51
that's so go to you know, cause and I know that the NFL wants
36:53
a nice matchup, and they and they make it sure that it's a nice
36:55
matchup. Normally it's a rematch of some sort, just like we're getting this
36:59
year with the AFC Championship game. But it's just I mean, like I
37:02
just was like, man, I did not expect. I didn't think we're
37:06
gonna lose, but I didn't know if we're gonna win either. And then
37:07
they had that kind of performance, and after all of the off season hype,
37:10
I was like, Okay, yeah, our bills, we might we
37:15
actually might go ahead and get ourselves a parade. So the older years,
37:19
the yester years, we can always look back on those memories. Week fifteen
37:23
Motown Bills at the Detroit Lions no longer just the twelve o'clock. Nobody's paying
37:31
attention on Thanksgiving. You're peeling potatoes, or you're helping your mom with something,
37:37
or you're getting the turkeys ready or whatever you're doing. They're no longer
37:39
just a gloss over. They are primetime television. Now they are a marquee
37:45
the NFC. They almost made it to the Super Bowl. I mean they
37:47
made AFC Championship game. They gave I mean they had the lead on San
37:52
Francisco DT. They really did. They were blowing them out to start the
37:54
game. And obviously they lost to San Francisco in the second half. But
37:59
Bills at Lions for twenty five Some people thought there would be a Thanksgiving game,
38:01
and it is not. It is right before Christmas. I mean at
38:07
the crew they are They're no longer they're They're not our dads or even our
38:12
earlier year Lions. Man, they are for real. They're here their paper
38:15
bag on their head. Lions. Yes, yeah, there's not that.
38:22
You look at the schedule and your upcoming opponents, and you know, it's
38:27
like, okay, a lot of a lot of hard teams on that schedule.
38:29
And the Lions used to be a nice okay, okay, you got
38:30
to play that NFC game and you know, get it over with. But
38:34
now it's it's it's a it's a good matchup, and and Campbell will have
38:37
those boys ready. They'll be in the playoff push at that time, and
38:42
it can be no easy, noisy task going in there and trying to trying
38:45
to steal one because we again stole one from themout Thanksgiving. I was there,
38:50
and I was there, and so you come in and and they're gonna,
38:53
you know, they don't want that to happen again. And Josh All
38:57
fourteen, that sh it worked out really well. It was really nice.
39:01
That was a crazy throw. If you remember that throw. I mean on
39:06
TV, it was more impressive than live because live I was just like holy
39:09
you know, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit. But like when
39:14
I watched it on TV, I was like, damn, like he he
39:16
put that bitch in there, like that was like one of the frozen ropes.
39:21
So that was really nice. So we will see what happens. Like
39:22
you talked about DT late in the year, you know, Week fifteen,
39:27
everybody's got everything to play for. Nobody's got anything wrapped up, nobody's got
39:30
anything, you know, nobody's resting fucking starters or anything like that. So
39:34
I just love the fact that that's going to be an all hands on that
39:36
game. You are absolutely right about Dan Campbell. He has his his his
39:39
troops ready to play. He has those guys always motivated, they love playing
39:43
for him. He's got a he's got a coaching staff that is leyden with
39:46
former NFL players. I mean, I've read an article on ESPN like last
39:50
week about how he's got so many different former players and that the players are
39:53
responding to that. They're you know, the current lines are responding to the
39:57
fact that they're listening to guys that have been in the trench. You know,
40:00
you're talking about Mark Brunel as the quarterback coach for golf, and you
40:02
know he's got a whole bunch of guys. Calvin Shepard is on that squad,
40:07
a former Buffalo Bill's player, He's the linebacker's coach. Just a whole
40:10
bunch of guys on there that are just they're resonating. Man, I don't
40:15
know what it is over there. I don't know what they're cooking over there
40:16
in Deetown, in Motown, but they are. They are responding to Campbell.
40:21
I know everybody laughed at the biting kneecaps that is opening press conference,
40:24
but after, I mean shit, after the first half of the NFC Championship
40:28
game, No, what was Everyone's like, Damn, Detroit is about to
40:31
go to their first Super Bowl. Obviously they threw up on themselves, but
40:35
I don't think there are anything to sleep at now. As we transition and
40:38
begin to wrap up, we are going to give our predictions at the end
40:42
of the show. It's a weird quirk DT in this year's schedule. You
40:45
don't see it too often. Patriots right before Christmas. You've got December twenty,
40:52
second week sixteen, Patriots come to the ralph come to Orchard Park,
40:59
and then it's home against the Jets Sunday one, and then back to the
41:04
Patriots to end the year. It's still two week determines either going to be
41:07
January fourth or fifth. But that's just weird that you are not. I
41:09
mean, when is the last time I can't remember the last time. You
41:13
don't see New England until week sixteen. I don't care if you've got seventeen
41:15
games, sixteen games, I can't remember a time that you play them that
41:20
late for the first time in the year, Like I could. You could
41:22
have easily flopped out one of those you know, Kansas not can't say one
41:27
of the Jets games over the Miami games with that like wow, like boom
41:30
boom boom. It's just that's just a weird way to end the season.
41:31
But I'm not expecting much from the Patriots, so I'm not really sweating it
41:35
too much. If it was Tom Brady's Patriots, I'd be pissed because like
41:37
then, you know, maybe the last three weeks two a year, we're
41:42
trying to hold onto a wild card and then these stomps on our fucking throat,
41:45
like nope, you're not getting d you know what I mean. But
41:46
very very interesting, DT. We will not see the Patriots until week sixteen
41:52
at the Jets, excuse me, at home against the Jets and then to
41:54
Foxborough to the end of the year. Very interesting end of the year.
41:57
Yeah, and this is one I mean I kind of wanted to see the
42:00
Patriots at least once early one quarterback and rookie quarterback, you kind of get
42:07
him early in his NFL career. You know, by the end of the
42:08
season, he might have a few things figured out a little bit and making
42:13
a little tougher on you than he would have been, you know in week
42:15
four or five. So so that's when I would have liked to see a
42:17
little sooner. But you know, if this is we needed division games to
42:21
win the division last year, you always kind of get them. That's just
42:23
the way it's set up. And and uh, but yeah, they're kind
42:27
of stacked ready to roll, and those are gonna need to be need to
42:30
be wins down the stretch we're not gonna have with the schedule we have.
42:32
It's it's we're gonna be fighting for that one seed I think all the way
42:36
through if that's if that's on the on the table. So uh, that's
42:39
it's gonna be an interesting little stretch there with these divisional opponents end of the
42:45
year. Though, Like I haven't like you. I love that you talked
42:47
about the fact that may might have stuff figured out. I don't even know
42:52
if it'll be May you know, maybe maybe Jacobe, you know, ut
42:55
is playing well, and and maybe he's you know when I say, quote
42:59
unquote, well, maybe they're not a dumpster fire. And maybe it's just
43:01
a situation where they don't want to just bring in the court. You know,
43:04
I understand that rookies, and they want them to play right away,
43:07
and the timeline has been sped up. But maybe they're nibbling on the outside
43:10
of a wild card, on the outside of a seventh seed, and maybe
43:14
they have you know, Brisett playing like I just don't like the fact that
43:16
it's so long until I see you for the first time. You already spoke
43:20
to it, like I don't even know who the fuck you are, and
43:22
like all I've got is film. And they could have easily switched one of
43:25
the Dolphins of the Jets games in that middle of the portion of the season.
43:30
It gave us the Patriots. This is weird, really weird that we're
43:32
not seeing them to Week sixteen. So again Week sixteen, Bill's Patriots,
43:37
one o'clock. Love it, Sunday, one o'clock at the roof. We've
43:38
got two straight home games again. The Jets will come the next week,
43:43
Week seventeen at the roof one o'clock again, Sunday, and then it is
43:46
a two be determined game for Week eighteen. It can be either January fourth
43:51
or fifth in the time obviously they'll figure that stuff out. So there is
43:54
your Buffalo Bill's twenty twenty four schedule. In nicol City, Crew Bill's Mafia.
43:59
We are so so happy again that you guys, just the crew,
44:02
the crew is just growing. It's really really growing, and it really makes
44:07
me, you know, it just makes me smile DT, because I mean,
44:09
we thought about this, we talked about this last season. We're like,
44:13
we got to step it up, we got to do something a little
44:15
bit different, and the live shows have really just helped us out so much.

44:52
Shirts again here on Buffalo fan Base, the official Bil's Mafia podcast network DT.
44:59
Let's wrap it it up. I I I hate to put your feet
45:02
to the fire. It is what's today. It is May nineteenth. It
45:07
is okay, GT. I am not going to hold you to this now.
45:10
Your opinions can change. We are going to run through it. I
45:15
want rapid, not rapid, but I want We already did the breakdown.
45:20
I want I just want your gut man. We are going and I am
45:23
definitely recording this in respects to because I want to be able to talk shit
45:29
or the AGAs get changed. We are not even at training camp. Maybe
45:32
somebody twists an ankle, or maybe Patrick Mahones gets you know, malaria or
45:37
something like that. He's not going to die, but he's out for the
45:39
year. I fucking know. I have no clue. Week one Cardinals,
45:45
that Bill's win loss. When gotta be get out there. We had the
45:51
dud three years ago against the Steelers on opening Day and time to get it
45:53
back. Let's get loud, let's get ready roll in there. I can't
45:57
I like his energy on that one. Care you heard DT. You heard
46:00
the official co host, the nicholsony crewe. He just told you no problems,
46:05
no no sweat. Marvin Harrison, I'm not worried. I know Kyler
46:07
Murray. We got the hail Murray and that I mean, that was a
46:10
fucking fluke. No way they're coming across the country to Buffalo. I don't
46:14
care how much time they have to prepare for the team. I don't even
46:16
care about all of the worries that we'll talk about in the off season that
46:20
I have about this team. And maybe my predictions will reflect that, but
46:23
I will go with a w as well with DT. Bill start out one
46:28
to know we both are are on that train. Week two, Bill's are
46:31
Dolphins. Bill's Mafia takeover on and we're gonna come up. There's gonna be
46:37
a ton of energy, a ton of energy for the Sunday before we're rolling
46:42
over. Bill's mafia having a good time on South Beach was still their daddy
46:45
to them. I like I like Miami's I always I mean, I like
46:50
Mike McDaniel. I've already admitted that on Nicholson the Crew. You guys already
46:52
know that because I want to off as a coach, So any offensive coach
46:54
I'll probably like more than than our coach. I like the weapons. Obviously,
47:00
their defense they kind of beefed up, So we'll talk about that more
47:02
in depth in the offseason. I still have to lean what DT said.
47:07
I think I did. Josh Allen is your daddy, I mean, who's
47:08
your daddy? You gotta beat us until I feel like that. I mean,
47:12
Patriots fans had to laugh at us throughout the drought, like you motherfuckers
47:17
think you're really gonna take us, like until we did it. It just
47:21
it just never happened. So because of that, I can't go against the
47:23
Bills Bills down there in Buffalo South. I go with the win as well.
47:27
Two and oh Jaguars at Bills DT Monday night football win and loss back
47:31
home, give them what they deserve. Three and oh I love it.
47:35
Yeah, I'm down with it. I'm down with three and oh. But
47:37
you know, Jaguars, you know, had a great season two seasons ago,
47:40
they kind of took a step back I'm down with that energy for sure.
47:45
I like the three and oh now Bill's at Ravens week four go now
47:51
I'm going. I'm going with the Winds. There's a there's something in the
47:57
future that's making me do the win right now. But we'll we'll get to
48:00
that, but let's start off as strong four enough. I I have to
48:06
differ with you for this one. I like. I like Henry a lot.
48:09
I think that he has more tread on the tires and because of that
48:13
him when when when Baltimore signed Henry, I put on Twitter, I said,
48:19
is there a player that is more that looked that it's more like fitting
48:23
for the team than fucking Derek Henry on the Baltimore fucking Ravens a team that
48:28
is obsessed with running the ball. I can't think of another player that fits
48:31
the team more. I think that they are going to be very dangerous.
48:34
Now again, yes, they threw up on themselves and they went away from
48:37
their game plan and they were trying to show that Lamar Jackson could throw it
48:42
in the biggest game of the year, which I don't know why you I
48:45
just I don't know why you needed to do that, But you know,
48:47
whatever, the case may be they went away from their game pen and they
48:50
bit him in the ass against Kansas City. But I just think earlier on
48:52
the year they're going to be tough. So I've got him at three one,
48:54
DT's got him at four and oh. Week five, revenge game,
48:59
step on Diggs in Texas, go ahead, Well this is you know where
49:05
where I went for and oh. We exhausted a lot of energy on the
49:07
road against the Ravens to get that win. This is a game the mafia
49:13
w g R Is going to be wanting drama by this point. Texans beat
49:19
us, We go to four and one, and we hear about it.
49:22
You got the young boy, young CJ. Stroud beating us really okay because
49:29
a hangover hangover from the hot start and putting a lot into the Ravens a
49:32
week before. Okay, I am already counting it as a loss because I
49:38
think that I don't know. I I believe in c. J. Stroud.
49:44
Obviously he's a rookie, so I don't know anything about him long term,
49:47
but I think that he can get it done. And I just think
49:51
they built they just they haven't all they have what I want. I'm sorry
49:54
they have uh, they have a plethora of weapons. I mean, I'm
49:58
sorry, and again I eat crow on that because the Bills weapons and this
50:01
Wide Receiver by Committee. You saw less episode that we posted, you know,
50:06
that's what I named it, Wide Receiver by Committee. That's clearly Beans
50:08
approach. They've got stuff. They've got Nico Collins, They've got Tank Dell,
50:13
who should be healthy after he suffered a gunshot wound. And then they
50:15
got stuff like and then they got you know, Joe Mixon in the backfield.
50:19
I think that they've got the offense, they've got the chops to hang
50:21
with the Bills and not only hang but beat him. So DT's got him
50:23
at four and one. I've got him at three and two. We already
50:25
knew that this first six games was the gauntlet game. Six Bills, Jets,
50:31
Matt Life, nightmare. DT back in the building. What do you
50:37
got, Aaron Er? What'd you say? Give me a loss, Give
50:43
me a loss in a row? Rogers? Rogers. Okay, Well,
50:47
then we are now stuck at four and to a piece. So DT and
50:52
I both have records of four and two. I think the Bill's gonna beat
50:53
the Jets. I just don't until I see everything work. I mean,
50:57
I understand. I listen, I stopped making fun of Joe Douglass, and
51:00
I like, I like Robert Salat from from San Francisco Days. I think
51:04
he's a player's coach. I think that, you know, he knows his
51:07
ship. I liked the behind the scenes with the hard knocks, how he
51:08
talks to his guys, assuming that that's how he always talks to his guys.
51:13
He's a players coach. I like players coaches. I like that type
51:15
of vibe until I see them do it, like I just I don't know,
51:20
Like it was just it was very tragic that four plays in after an
51:24
entire offseason and Rogers forces his way out of Green Bay and then he finally
51:29
gets his wish. He gets to the desk stay she wants to get and
51:30
literally four fucking plays in. I mean, I'm laughing. I don't give
51:35
a fuck, you know what I mean, Like he's rich as hell,
51:37
he didn't you know, he didn't die or anything like that. Like that
51:38
shit was fucking It was just wild. Like I couldn't even believe it on
51:42
my screen. I was like, oh my god, like watching the game,
51:45
like he's hurt. I couldn't imagine what it was like for you being
51:47
in Metli Stadium, that stadium, Like you said last season, you said
51:51
that you could hear a pin drive, you can hear a mouse. Shit
51:53
like that is just that's wild to me how that went. Until they do
51:58
it, I don't believe it. So DT and I have the Bills at
52:00
four and two after the sixth game Gauntlet Titans at Bills, DT go,
52:07
we take care of the Titans. They are a better team once we talked
52:09
about, but we take care of it my home and after my two straight
52:14
losses in a row, here this is a back on track five and two.
52:16
Five and two, Yeah, I've got the Bills beating the Titans.
52:19
I do like Will Levis. I like his spirit. I'm not sure if
52:22
he's the answer out there in Tennessee, but I do like the fact that
52:24
he does have a He has definitely sugar high Josh vibes to him. For
52:29
sure. He reminds me of Josh that lost to Houston, excuse me,
52:34
in that wildcard game. For sure. He's got he's young, he doesn't
52:37
know what, he doesn't know quite yet, and he'll try fucking anything.
52:39
And I just have to have a little bit of respect for that, Like,
52:42
I like, this is something about it that is attractive to me.
52:45
I like that about football players. So I don't think they can beat the
52:49
Bills, though. Five and two DT and I are mirroring schedules. We
52:52
got different losses, but we are mirroring schedules right now. Five and two
52:55
headed out West Seattle. Go got to give me the win here, need
53:00
it. It's one of those fun you kind of back into the schedule that
53:02
you know, like I said, this is the weakest team other than the
53:07
Cardinals in Week one of all the teams you've listed. Yep, you gotta
53:09
go out there and take a cone clip Gino Smith and get the win.
53:14
I can't say Geno beating us. I'm sorry. I mean, if you
53:17
had talked about him, how he's the kind of Jecko, mister high.
53:20
He had a great season two years ago and he won whatever comeback player,
53:22
he's a Pro bowler, whatever the case may be. In the last year,
53:24
was like eh, and I was like, damn, DC's got a
53:27
right. He kind of is not not maybe not hide but he you know,
53:30
he wasn't. He wasn't a fucking Pro Bowl quarterback. Last year wasn't
53:34
anything fucking special. So I'm with you on that energy. I don't think
53:37
Geno Smith can beat the Bills defense, specifically mcdermot's defense, and almost almost
53:42
regardless of what the offense does. We are definitely digging into the fucking office
53:45
this offseason. You are not going to get off the hook DT. The
53:49
draft happened, off season happened. This wide receiver by committee approach is blowing
53:54
my fucking mind, Marta. Was it Mark wes Valdez Scantley just signed?
53:58
Okay? You sent me a text mess the other day. I was walking
54:00
into the office. You're like, Yo, we just had Chase Clayfield.
54:05
You're like, all our problem solved. I was like, well, I
54:07
guess so. Oh fucking branded beats really all my fucking nerves right now.
54:12
I just I'm really upset. I'll save it for another episode, but it's
54:16
all good. Dolphins at Bill's go. I'm sticking when here again with future
54:25
considerations, but I'll stick away and go seven and two. Yep. I
54:29
don't. I don't know again until I see it, I'm not going to
54:31
believe it. I don't think that Mike McDaniels can bring a team in the
54:35
buffalo in the cold and win the game until he does it. So I'm
54:37
with you on that. We are at seven and two, Bills that Colts
54:40
might be our away game of the year. Canny. They were Elmos the
54:46
night before, eat on the steak bigger than our fucking face. A nice
54:51
little tomahawk, No, nice little tomahawk downtown Indy. We're there. We
54:54
got up cheer with the mafia and watched the Colts fans you know, head
54:59
home in there to their own beds and disappointment. So let's go eight and
55:02
two? God Dt, do you know how Homer is? We signed right
55:08
now? The gauntlet. We handled the gauntlet and ate it like like like
55:13
chicken wing, like we ate it like a wig plate like that was no
55:15
big problem with that first six games, all right, eight and two.
55:19
I gotta keep going with you, chief, said Bills. Go I slept
55:24
through the game. I don't even know what happened. Wake me up because
55:28
that'll change the change the tone. Then we beat them in the playoff because
55:30
that's what they do to us. So yeah, I'll say lost because just
55:35
because So okay, let's skip over it, okain, bye week. Coming
55:38
out of the bye week NFC reigning champs coming into town San Francisco at buff
55:44
go uh love of averages, mcdermot's not going his whole career of winning out
55:49
of the bye week every year, so this is the one he drops into
55:52
a worthy opponent. Give us the loss or losses eight and four another two
56:00
two lost stretch for the Boys. I will go with I guess if they
56:06
just lost to the Chiefs, Yeah, I can't see them losing to the
56:12
chief Like. If they beat the Chiefs, then I can see them riding
56:14
the momentum through the bye week and beating the Niners. I can't if they
56:16
lost to the Chiefs, like I think that we both think, then I'll
56:20
get Okay, two straight home loss are gonna piss them off of you off,
56:22
But okay, eight and four, you're still in the great record.
56:25
Six games ago, Go Bills on the road, one of their few West
56:30
Coast trips outside of Seattle in l A. Let's replay that opener we talked
56:35
so much about. Let's play it. Stop them out Bills that Lions motown
56:45
right before Thanksgiving, excuse me, right before Christmas, yea, ten days
56:50
before we are in lockstep on the schedule we only differed on on one game,
56:59
so are made it back up. Put me the l they owe us
57:04
from Thanksgiving, Give me the L. WHOA Buffalo is too familiar with Motown?
57:10
I will go ten and four. Buffalo's too familiar with Motown. We
57:15
had to move there for the snow storm all that other shit, So I'm
57:17
down with it. I think we can go in there and get a win.
57:20
We are very very familiar with that stadium, not far of a city.
57:23
I think we can get it done. Patriots in town for the first
57:27
time. Go take them down, Take them down. We gotta start stacking
57:30
wins. Ten and five for DT. I am at eleven and four,
57:37
Jets at the Bills, Go win because there were again redemption. Oh wait,
57:42
did I have them beaten that? No losing? Yeah, I'm losing
57:46
early. That was a game we different one. Okay, all right,
57:52
I'm at twelve and four. DT's at eleven and five. I might be
57:55
tapped out DT. Bill's in Foxboro and the You're gonna be resting starters.
58:01
If listen eleven and five or twelve and four, you should have the division.
58:07
You have already beaten Miami twice by my calculations, I mean that's a
58:12
rest game, right, Yeah. Yeah, I mean for me, eleven
58:16
and six. Yeah, I've got them at twelve years. I'll give them,
58:19
I'll give him with the win, I'll keep them. I'll keep them
58:21
twelve and five. I'll give them twelve and five. Twelve and five.
58:23
We both end up on the same twelve and five. We just went at
58:28
it different ways. Yeah, I mean it'll be interesting if the deals go
58:31
twelve and five. That'll be surprising the fuck out of me, to be
58:36
honest. I mean, I'm honest with my first takes, but I just
58:38
don't give a few losses that's pretty homersh. Twelve and five would we will
58:44
be very happy with. Yeah, I know they're definitely like at least two
58:47
losses in there that we're not accounting for. I mean, that happens every
58:51
year, but I yeah, but that's what I was trying to account for.
58:54
But then because of that, I probably skipped over some games that I
58:59
think, you know, we might I might have it. I mean,
59:04
I might go fucking I just I just don't see it. I understand it.
59:07
I just didn't. I mean, we went through it rabbid reaction.
59:09
We'll have more time in the off season and dissect stuff. There are things
59:13
that concern me about this offense. There are things that concern me about the
59:17
team and their approach in respects of the offense. So we'll talk about that.
59:21
We've got so much time. Nickel City crew, we appreciate you on
59:24
this Sunday night episode joining us for the schedule release. DT and I are

And I like the schedule. I think, you know, they gave us
59:57
some breaks where we where we you know, eat it a break. Three
1:00:00
straight road game sucks, you know, like Ravens Texas Jets sucks. That
1:00:05
sucks. Like that's three straight. I think one of only two teams that
1:00:07
have that. You gotta play good teams. We knew that was gonna happen,
1:00:12
but you know, let's let's all that's left is, you know,
