• 0:41
  Speaker 2: But man, what a Sunday. We are drama galore. I'll
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: tell you what.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I have been, you know, slightly critical of one brock
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Purty over the years, and I'm not willing to completely
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: step off of that take.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: But it's funny.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: I want to a decent bet on brock Perty's in
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: game passing.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Yardage, and it's just so funny. Man, Like, as soon as.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I win cash on brock Purty, I'm like, look at
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: the playmaking ability of this guy. Huh, people are sleeping
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: on this guy. Look how savvy brock Purty is right here. Listen, man,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: he played great. It was crazy too because he started
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: off throwing a pick six very first play of the game. First,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: all right, what's Brock got what's number thirteen got dialed up?
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: He's got a pick six dialed up? And since that
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: point he was fantastic. He had a play where he
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: bought time. They're close to the goal line, right around
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: the ten yard line, and he's buying time. Looks like
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: he's gonna scramble at the line of scrimmage is the five.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Looks like he's gonna run.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: No, he's gonna He stopped at the last second, and
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: he found Kyle yuscheck the side of the end zone.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Touchdown. It was a It was a brilliant play.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: So listen watching Sunday night football, and for a for
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: a second here before I get to a thought of
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: two things can be true at the same time.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: What a game? What a game?
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: You know? I think we get so cynical sometimes, and
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: listen to me as a sports better. I can be
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: sour someday I just have a bad day and make
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: bad picks. I gotta talk to Justin Cooper about my
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: confidence pool. Oh my gosh, it's a bad day. It's
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: a bad day.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: For years.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Truly, it was really just a one o'clock games, the
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: early start games, terrible two and five.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: But I won't bore you with that. You don't care.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: But the point is sometimes we can get sour. Sometimes
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: it just turns it. I don't know, there's something in
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: your life not going well, something with your day not
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: going well, and it just turns into, oh gosh, these games,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: and you just you're like, man, man, man, with everything
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: that you say. That Sunday night game between the Bears
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: and Niners, forty nine.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Ers win it, forty two to thirty eight.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: That game was awesome, like an instant classic back and
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: forth you know fight. It was a heavyweight, fifteen round
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: prize fight. It was amazing. It was a great stat
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: that Mike Tarrico shared. This is at the very beginning
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: of the fourth quarter. This is the stat. This is crazy,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: a little piece of NFL history.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: For the first time in a regular season game, we've
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: been tied at seven, fourteen, twenty one, twenty eight, and
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: thirty five. Never happened in the regular season once in
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: the postseason.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: How about that. I like the little ding ding ding.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: We got the NBC chimes in there. We got to
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: get that right. They gotta be branded. That game is
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: an opportunity for brand recognition right there. But what a
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: stat right we're tied at sevens, fourteens, twenty one, twenty eight,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: thirty Five's a piece that that was amazing, man. And
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: then a defensive play. How many times do you see
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: these NFL games or college games and it's just a shootout.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Both quarterbacks Brock Purdy Caleb Williams, they each throw for
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: over three hundred yards. Just a shootout, shootout at the
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: SF Corral. Sorry, that's that's not pre orchestrated corningess. That's
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: on the fly corniness right there. It's just a shootout,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: just dialing them up wide open offense. Defenses can't stop
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: anything or anybody. And then the last play of the game,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: San Francisco puts enough heat on Caleb Williams and they
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: force a little bit of a short throw incomplete. Forty
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: nine Ers win and forty nine Ers host. The Seahawks
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: winner gets the one seed in the NFC. That was
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: That was just an unbelievable game, man. It was great,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: great entertainment, and I was just happy to sit back
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: and enjoy it, you know. And I think this this
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: is another thing that I take away from Sunday Night Football. Man,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: we'll get to all of this stuff. We'll get to
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Josh Allen. I don't know what happened to Josh Allen.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Josh Allen is fantastic. It's got a wide open two
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: point throw to win the game, and he just he's
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: missed a wide open guy. We'll get to Josh Allen
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: in a second. That was unbelievable, just missing a bunny
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: that was a finger roll and he's like the iceman
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: George Gervin with finger rolls, and somehow he missed the
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: finger roll.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know what happened with Josh Allen there.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: But the other thing I took away from Sunday Night
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Football actually ties to Saturday Night football when we saw
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Derrick Henry go crazy against the Packers and we also
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: saw Brock Purdy go crazy against the Bears. I think
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: two things can be true at the same time, and
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: a lot of fans, a lot of listeners don't like
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: the two things can be true at the same time.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Thing.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: The thing that's true in two very conflicting ways with
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: the Saturday Saturday night game between the Ravens, you know,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: beating the Packers, the Niners beating the Bears. Derrick Henry
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: was unbelievable. Okay, thirty six carries, two hundred and sixteen yards,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: four touchdowns. The Ravens had their backup quarterback in there,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Tyler Huntley, threw for just over one hundred yards. He
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: threw for a bucko seven. Yeah, that's it, one o
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: seven and uh, you know, the Packers know it's gonna
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: be Derrick Henry all night.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: They know he's getting the ball.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: They can't stop him, They can't come close to stopping him.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: So thoroughly impressed with Derrick Henry, but at the same time,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Packers defense freaking awful.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Man Like, both.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Things can be true, and I think that when you
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: hear that, let's say you're a Derrick Henry fan or
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: you're a Ravens fan, you automatically think someone like me
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: is taking credit away from your guy or your team.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: That's not true. I think two things can be true
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: at once. Derick Henry sensational performance, Packers brutal performance.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: That's just what it was. And I think the Sunday
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: night game was the same thing.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Rock Purty outstanding performance, five total touchdowns he accounted for.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: He's scrambling around.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: He's throwing darts all night, he's buying time, he's picking
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: up some yards with his legs. Scored a touchdown right
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: with his legs couple of times. That was a great
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: performance by him. But at the same time that bears
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: defense freaking brutal. Both defenses awful, just brutal defense. I
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: thought Caleb Williams played a great game too. He missed
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: a couple of very makeable throws. That's the weird thing
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: with Caleb Williams. By the way, Caleb Williams will make
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: some insane throw some insane plays where you're like, there
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: aren't many people on this planet that could make that
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: throw right there. Mahomes maybe could make that play, Josh Allen,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: maybe that's that might be the list, and it's Caleb Williams.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: He'll make some sensational plays and then he'll turn around.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: You're like, the guy was wide open, man, how did
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: he miss that throw? Just weird, But overall, Caleb Williams great,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: great performance. At the same time that forty nine ers
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: defense with zero pass rush, yikes, man, you look at
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: the playoffs, it is just wide open, man, It is
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: absolutely wide open. But I love the Week eighteen matchup
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Niners hosting Sam Darnald and the Seahawks. Have we not
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: seen this movie before? It was just last year we
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: saw Sam Darnald Week eighteen on the road against the Lions.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go one set on the line, and
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Sam Darnold was just like, Damn, I'm just gonna be
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: horror tonight.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Oh he was brutal. Does he exorcize the demons? This season?
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Against the Niners team that is banged up defensively, they
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: have the worst pass rush in football. They have the
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: least amount of sacks defensively this season, and it's by
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: a lot. If you look at the numbers, it's pretty crazy.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: If you look at coops Broncos, my gosh, Justin Cooper's
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Broncos are it's like just lapping the forty nine ers
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: in terms of sacks defensively. If you just look at
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: that one category, the Broncos sixty three sacks heading into
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Week seventeen. This is heading into Week seventeen, sixty three
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: sacks for the Broncos, leading the league. The Niners have
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: eighteen sacks on the season heading into Week seventeen. Right,
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know what the numbers are, right now, that's
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: an obnoxious amount of homework. Melon Militia, Key can only
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: expect me to do so much over here, right, think
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: about that eighteen? Okay, on the fly, it's at thirty
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: six fifty four, Like we're in the neighborhood of three
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: and a half times the amount of sacks for the
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Broncos compared to the Niners. By the way, look at this,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: so the Niners dead last in the league in sacks.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: If you look at the teams that are tied for
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: twenty ninth, these three teams are tied, so they're basically
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: second to last.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: If you will.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: That's the Carolina Panthers, the Bengals, and the Jets. What
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: do you think of that Jets pass rush?
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Right now? What do you think about that Bengals pass rush?
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: They could really put heat on the opposing passer, right, No,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: they can't generate a pass rush, Matt. They heading into
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Week seventeen, Bengals, Panthers, Jets, all those teams had seven
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: more sacks than the Niners on the season. That's how
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: bad the forty nine ers pass rush is. They can't
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: get heat on the opposing quarterback. So when Week eighteen
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: rule around and Sam Donald heads into Levi Stadium, and
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: that Niners pass rush is probably not getting a whole
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: lot of pressure on him. The Sam Donald actually look
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: like a competent quarterback with all the chips in the
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: middle of the table. He might don't be shocked if
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: he does. I can't wait for that game. That's gonna
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: be a sensational game. By the way, that is your
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: nightcap on Saturday. I find this interesting. So the way
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: it works, they have two Saturday games next week, and
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: they have all the rest of the games on Sunday
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: with the Sunday Night Football game. So you have these
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: three windows for these marquee games. Okay, so in the
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: very first window on Saturday, they put the the NFC
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: South matchup. That's the Panthers at Tampa Bay. We will
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: get to the dead inside Tampa Bay Buccaneers a little
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: bit later this hour, but they've got Carolina Tampa Bay
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: for the NFC South. That's the early game on Saturday.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: That's your four thirty pm Eastern time kick, right. And
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: then the night cap on Saturday night is the Seattle
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: San Francisco game. That's eight pm Eastern time. That's for
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: the NFC West that's for the one seed in the
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: NFC playoffs. That is a monstrous game. And then on
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Sunday night, Like Sunday Night is the headlining act. Think
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: of a concert like the Carolina Tampa game. That's the
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: first warm up band, right and then Seattle San Francisco,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: as the TV execs see it, that's the next warm
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: up band. And then Sunday night football rolls around. This
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: is the headlining act. This is who we came out
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: to see, and it's the AFC North Showdown. It's Baltimore
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: at Pittsburgh. I know it for a divisional crown, but man,
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: do are you more excited to see Baltimore Pittsburgh. We
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: don't even know if Lamar is gonna play. We don't
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: know if this bruise is gonna keep him out until
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: like mid May. My gosh, the guy has a bruise,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: a bruise, he's got a contusion. And he not only
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: missed the second half of last week against the Patriots,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: he missed the entire game against the Packers.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: He's on the sideline standing up.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: If this is like a debilitating injury, why is he
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: just standing on the sideline? Why why is he not
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: in uniform out there. I don't know if Lamar is
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: even gonna suit up and play, And this is the
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: headlining game. I would much rather see the Seattle San
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Francisco game on Sunday night football. Now, it's not a
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: big deal. It's gonna be on Saturday night. It's fine,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: but I think it would make more sense.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: But it's just me.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I think it would make more sense to make Saturday
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: this is win and in day. This is for divisions
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: are on the line. You know, it's a doubleheader on ABC, Slash, ESPN.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: You market it like that.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Okay, we got NFC South Carolina Tampa winning in followed
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: by Baltimore at Pittsburgh winning in the loser. Say you
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: better luck next year, suckers, Right, I'd rather have a
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: day like that. That's Saturday, it's the winning in day,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: and then Sunday this is just for the big boys,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: all right, big dogs in the house. Here we're talking
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: about not only winning the division. We're talking about a
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: one seed on the line that has much higher stakes.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: To me, I'd rather see that on Sunday night. That's
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: your headlining act right there. In my mind, it's Seattle
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: San Francisco. It is not Baltimore, Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh who scored
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: six points against the Browns. That's that's the headlining act. No,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: thank you, No, I'd rather see that on Saturday. Give
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: me the battle for the one seed on Sunday.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: But that's just me. Your thoughts feel free to check in.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Have I counted? It's just just under a million.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Things to talk about tonight. My gosh, there are so
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: many things that happen in Week seventeen of the NFL
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: playoff implications left and right.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: We got to get to Josh Allen.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Josh Allen had an out of body experience at the
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: end of the game against the Eagles.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: He had a wide open receiver.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Josh Allen has turned into one of the more accurate
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: quarterbacks in the NFL, and he absolutely blew it. There
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: is one key takeaway from this game from that throw,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: and it absolutely applies not only to the Bills, but
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: the entire NFL playoffs. We also have a team I
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: will be happy.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: I've already bet it.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: I am so happy to bet against one particular team
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: that they might make it into the playoffs. They might not,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: I'm bet, but we will get to that right around
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: the corner.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: As well.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox is your phone number,
• 16:07

• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Trust me.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: I could go for the next eight hours with this
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: amount of ball to talk about. But I love having
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: a conversation with you guys. You guys are more than welcome.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: If you get in here, I'll get you on also
• 16:21

• 16:24
  Speaker 3: reach out to me there so we'll keep squawking about
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: stuff right around the corner. Oh, the major takeaway from
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Josh Allen screwing up and not hitting a wide open
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: receiver that would have beaten the Eagles. What does it
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: mean for the Bills for the NFL playoffs as a whole.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you next. I'm Brian no In for Big

• 17:51
  Speaker 3: moon hours right. That's how we're getting down here on
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio. So yeah, Josh Allen hoof, let me
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: thy say one thing first, before you know, I start
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: trashing the guy for a pathetic throw at the end
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: of the game that lost it for the Bills and
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: the bigger picture, Josh Allen is an outstanding quarterback. Josh
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Allen is the reigning MVP on the short list. This year,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: I think it's a Stafford year. I think it's Stafford's
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: year to win his first MVP. I don't think Stafford's
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: even been I don't think Stafford's ever gotten a top
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: ten vote. Don't quote me on that. But there's some
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: insane stat about Matthew Stafford where it's like he has
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: he hasn't even gotten a vote something crazy like that,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: where not only is he probably in line to win it,
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: it's like he might finally get voted on for MVP.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: But Josh Allen is he's an outstanding quarterback and I
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: know he's come up short in the playoffs. That's routinely
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: against Mahomes and the Chiefs, which over the years has been.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: An incredibly high hurdle.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Clear, it's not like he's wetting his leg against I
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: don't know, inferior competition when you're running into this roadblock
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: time and time of game named Mahomes and the Chiefs.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, I mean you gotta say it's.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Somewhat understandable, somewhat, but Josh Allen, he is so much
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: better than what you saw at the end of that
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: game against the Eagles. So if you missed it, if
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: you know you didn't watch Wall the wall ball today,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: it's fine, we got you here. So the Bills, they
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: couldn't do anything against Philly. They are scoreless with under
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: five and a half minutes to play in the game.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: They haven't scored a point. They're losing thirteen to nothing.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: They score a touchdown, they get a stop, they get
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: the ball back, they score another touchdown. Now, the funny
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: thing was they were losing thirteen nothing when they scored
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: their first touchdown. The Bills had their extra point blocked.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Jalen Carter blocked the extra point, so instead of it
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: being thirteen to seven Philly, it's thirteen to six Philly
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: with the lead at that point. So we fast forward
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: to the end of the game. Josh Allen scores a touchdown.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: It's thirteen to twelve Philly. So you look at the sideline,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Sean McDermott stoic. He's like, let's go for two. Let's
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: freaking go for two. Freaking in this guy, I'm pretty
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: sure he's throwing freakings around out there, and so they
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: line up.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: They're going for two.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Josh Allen has a wide open, wide open Khalil Shakir
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: in the back of the end zone. Pass isn't even
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: close to the guy not even close.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know what happened.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: He just short armed it. It's one of those deals
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: where I don't know, your guy is just wide open
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: and you want to run over there and just hand
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: it to him, and I don't know, you just short
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: arm it. You just sort of panic and he just
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: missed a wide open throw. Now here's the thing. You
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: could look at this and say, yeah, you know, it happens.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: It's just one throw. This doesn't mean that dot dot
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: dot fill in the blank, you know.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: It doesn't mean that they can't win it all. This
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean they're.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Not gonna readbount ya da baby Babby. You could fill
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: it in with a bunch of stuff. You know what
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: this really means when you cut to the chase and
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: you get to the heart of the matter. The Bills
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: don't have the clutch gene.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: They don't have it. They lack it, and it shows
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: up time and time again.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: It just does like you can't explain it any other way.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I don't want to say that the Bills are incapable.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: That that would be that'd be reckless, that'd be a
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: little silly. I mean, you look at the AFC playoffs,
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: what team do you love? Who's the team that you love?
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: There's not one. There's not one team I even like like.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: I actually do like the Patriots quite a bit, but
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: I don't love them. They have their shortcomings, they have
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: their question marks. They don't have a ton of postseason experience. Right,
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: there are a lot of reasons to doubt the Patriots.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: They've had an incredibly soft schedule, on and on and on.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: But I look at their strengths a lot more often
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: than I hear most people saying, right, Like, a lot
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: of people look at the schedule. It doesn't just begin
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: and end there. But that's just me. I like the
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Patriots quite a bit. But the point is, there isn't
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: one team in the entire NFL playoffs that I just love.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: I really really like the Rams as well. Don't love them.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Don't love their second theory, hate their path now that
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: they're probably gonna be on the road for three straight games.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: But the deal with the Bills, you can't say no chance,
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: know how, even though they lack the clutch gene because
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: of the lack of great teams around them. I hate
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: their rush defense. It's terrible. It was thirtieth in the
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: NFL heading into Week seventeen. They did a pretty decent
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: job on Saquon Barkley on Sunday. But I don't trust
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: the Bills rush defense at all. And I don't like
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: their wide receivers. They got a bunch of number two,
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: number three wide receivers running around out there. It's when
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: James cook is held in check and it's all right,
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Josh Allen, do your thing. I mean, I like their
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: tight ends. I like Dalton Kinkaid quite a bit. Thasston
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Knox's okay, you know, he's fine as a backup tight end.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: But they're wide receivers, dude.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: It's just like.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Who they just picked up, Brandon Cooks. Brandon Cooks was
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: like their main guy on Sunday against the Eagles. That's
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: how limited their wide receiver room is. So it might
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: not come down to a clutch situation.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: It might not. It might not be all right.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: There are five seconds left, we're going for two to
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: win this game, and he's got a wide open receiver
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: and he's got to make this throw.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: It might not come down to that.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Like the Bills, they're good enough where it might not
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: be this you know, tight sphincter moment right.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Like we're clutch. This is a big, huge moment.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: You know, high leverage might not come down to that.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: So I'm not gonna count them out. Make no mistake,
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: I'm not counting them out completely.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: But the main.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Reason I doubt them it's their rush defense sucks. Their
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: wide receivers are average at best, and they do not
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: have the clutch gene. They as much as highly as
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: I think of Josh Allen, he doesn't have the clutch gene.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: That team does not have the clutch gen. I don't
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: know what it is about Buffalo. Think about like some
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: of these games that they've lost. I know it's Mahomes,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: I know it's the Chiefs. They had a lead at
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: arrow Head with thirteen seconds to play.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: They lost.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: I still can't believe that one. There were thirteen seconds left,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: just squib kick that thing like run some time off
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: the clock, you defend one pass and you win.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: I still can't believe they lost that game.
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: You don't think Sean McDermott's the problem.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: I think he's part of the problem.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: But Sean McDermott wasn't the reason that you know, like
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: Khalil Shakir didn't get the ball in the back of
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: the end zone, Josh Allen was the reason and.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Well points overtime.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean you could second guess that, but if
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: you're watching that play, and first off, I think you
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: gotta be first guessing in order to be second guessing.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: I have a problem at all with them going for two.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, you're being aggressive, that's fine. And
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: the way the play unfolds, the Bill's got exactly what
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: they wanted.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, it was a terrible pass. It was a
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: horrible pass.
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: And you know, Josh Allen knows that obviously. The shots
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: on the sideline.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Shoh yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. But I mean, and.
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: I'm not talking about just this game, but my best
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: friend is a Bill's fan, has has been since since
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: he was a child, uh huh, and he has been
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: calling for Sean mcdermot's firing for like a couple of
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: years and a few years now, right, he's just he's
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: just had it with him. And I mean, I can't
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: you know, you can say, yeah, the going for Tudo
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: to win is fine. Uh, you know, I do think
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: that and Ben would hate this, oh oh, but I
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: do think that the Bills had a bit of momentum.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Oh oh dude.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: You by the way, I want to sidetrack your your
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: thought here, I'll circle back to it because a big
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: ben you know, co host slash, you know, a compadre
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: if you will over the years, don't let me sidetrack.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: I'll circle back to it. Go ahead, finish your thought
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: about momentum and the bill. They had momentum, that's right,
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: they did, absolutely.
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: I just I think that I would have liked their
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: chances in overtime too. But like you said, you know,
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: the play worked out exactly how it was supposed to.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: They just missed it.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: They just they missed a layup. Man, there's no way
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: if they're going for two, they're being aggressive. If they
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: could see that play open up the way it did,
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: and then they could be asked like, okay, you still
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: want to go for two? Are you banking on Josh
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Allen making this throw? Or hey, mulligan time you could
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: just undo it and magically, through the powers of the
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: football gods, you could just kick the extra point go
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: to overtime. Which would you rather do? All day long,
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: they'd be like, oh, our money's on Josh Allen.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: You kidding me right now?
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: So as a as a fan, I hate like decisions
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: like that. Obviously, when it were you're like, oh, great,
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: that was awesome. But when I'm when I'm watching my
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: team and they, you know, come back from behind and
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: they score touchdown to potentially tie the game, and they
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: decided to go for two, I'm just like a nervous wreck.
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: I would way rather just breathe and watch some more football.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Hey man, hey listen. You can second guess this stuff
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: all day. You could sit here and be like, look,
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: they're legitimate arguments. It's Philly didn't complete one pass in
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: the second half, right right. Jalen Hurts was oh for seven,
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: He was oh for the second half. But I have
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: no problem with him going for two and it was
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: wide open. That is strictly a Josh Allen bricked layup
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: like he didn't even draw iron. He's going in for
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: a finger roll and somehow he bricked it off the
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: backboard and it didn't touch net, it didn't touch.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Rim, it didn't touch anything. He just bricked.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: That's how bad it was. Josh Allen miss and listen,
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: I get it. And Coop going back to your diehard,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: you know your friend who's a diehard Bills fan. I
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: get how you're not in love with Sean McDermott, but
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: the truth is, he's the easy fall guy. He really like.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Sean McDermott is not the reason that the rush defense sucks.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Sean McDermott is not the reason that their wide receivers
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: are just a bunch of guys. That's a Brandon Bean issue.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: That's the GM. He's the guy responsible for the roster.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: It's not a Sean McDermott issue. That Josh Allen, the
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: reigning MVP, missed an absolute layup, wide open receiver. The
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: ball's not even close to him. None of those things
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: are Sean McDermott's fault. Yet there are a lot of
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: fans that want to act like it is and listen.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: I get if you want to sit here and say, hey,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: look man, we've tried it for a number of years,
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: just hasn't worked. It's time to try something new. That's fine,
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: that's fine, But to blame Sean McDermott for that loss,
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: that's that's ridiculous. If anybody's doing that, it's just silly.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: That's Josh Allen just blowing it, and I hey, raining
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: MVP to the side. I think it's even worse. Like
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: the fan mentality. I know a lot of Bills fans
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: will think like this. It's like, well, it's Josh Allen, man, Like,
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: we can't really crack on Josh Allen too hard. He's
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: the reason why we're good, Like yeah, and he's also
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: the reason you lost that game. Okay, that's the reality.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: It's not a Sean McDermott thing. It was a Josh
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: Allen thing against the Bills in Week seventeen specifically, that's
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: what it is. And it makes it even worse because
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: he's so talented, because he's a raigning MVP, because he's
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: arguably the best quarterback in the game right now. It
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: makes it even worse than he missed a wide open
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: layup like that. You should have high standards and high expectations.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: That should be like just that's not anything that's permissible.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: That is an impermissible situation from Josh Allen, impermissible performance
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: from him against the Eagles, specially late Listen, Coop, I
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: gotta say one thing because my guy Tom Looney, who
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: I love like a brother, we have traded multiple texts,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: multiple voice notes.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: He somehow he got on this thing.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: And he's like, he talked about momentum and he was like, yeah,
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: this is a big Ben Mallard take, and he's like,
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: I actually subscribe to it as well. It's like, momentum
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: is not a thing. I'm like, that's the worst take
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: of all time?
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? That's what you think? Listen, man,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: And I.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Won't bore you with the whole argument, like this is
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: what I think about momentum. Just watch the game between
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: the Rams and the Seahawks last week and you tell
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: me that momentum is not a thing, right, Like, the
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Seahawks are down thirty to fourteen. They're not even sniffing
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: the lead, they're not even sniffing a win.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: At the time.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Sam Darnold has just thrown two hideous interceptions, and what happens.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: They get a punt return for a touchdown, They get
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: the two, They get another touchdown, They get a ridiculous
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: two point conversion that was a complete you know, just fluke.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: It hits a Rams helmet, bounces into the end zone.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: They pick it up, they get the two point conversion,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: goes to overtime, They give them a touchdown, they score
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: a touchdown, They go for two and win it. You
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: tell me momentum is not a thing. The way I
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: look at momentum is the way I look at a
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: run or a lead. Okay, you typically talk about runs
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: in basketball. It can still happen in football. You go
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: on a you know, a twenty one nothing run. Alabama
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: against Oklahoma. They're down seventeen to nothing and whatever the
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: run was, went on a twenty four to nothing run
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: or something like that. You know in basketball, Oh, they're
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: on a seventeen to one run or whatever it happens
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: to be. That's what momentum is. But these these jokers
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Looney and Big Ben, who I love, but it's a
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: terrible take. They act like, once you lose momentum, it
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: means that momentum never existed in the first place. That's crazy.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: That's like saying a run never existed. Because okay, we're
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: watching a basketball game. My team goes on a fourteen
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: nothing run. Your team goes on a thirteen to one run.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Does that mean that my original run never happened?
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Right? Like a lead?
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, today, the Eagles had the lead, they had the momentum.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: They're up thirteen to nothing, and what happened the Bills
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: stole the momentum. They had a chance to take the
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: lead and win the game. That doesn't mean if they
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: were able to do that, the Eagles never had a
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: lead to begin with. Right, It's just so bad. It's
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: just such bad logic. Momentum absolutely exists. And this is
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: on the heels of me doing a list the last
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: time I filled in for Big Ben. Right, So I'm
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: doing list radio at least one segment that I thought
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: was good at least a good idea, and it was
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: the biggest surprise NFL teams this season, good or bad?
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: You know what did the top five look like? I
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: was entertained. Maybe I was only one, but yeah, I
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: was doing a list segment. I know Ben hateses list radio,
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: and then I'm doing Yes. Momentum is absolutely, without a doubt,
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: unequivocally a real thing in sports. Oh, Coop, I'll say
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: this is the last thing.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: I'll say.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: I'm sick to my stomach here because I was watching
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: a game a couple.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Of weeks ago. It was the Mountain.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: West Championship game. Okay, and it's Boise State and they're
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: playing UNLV I think, and RG three is on the call, right,
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: and They're about twelve minutes to go in the game.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: And I had just been arguing with Looney about this
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: right where trading texts, where trading voicemail, you know how
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: Looney is. So it went from us talking about momentum
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: to somehow Looney tying it into like molecules and I
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: don't know, like geopolitics, and it's like, Looney, I don't
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: even know what you're talking about. At this stage, they
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: were talking about momentum and then RG three coop he says,
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: I'm not even Kennedy goes, momentum is not only real
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: in football, it is real in life. And I'm like, Boob,
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: let's go RG three And I went and I looked
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh can I And they were going
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: to replay the game on FS one. I'm like record,
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: I'm recording the game. And so I'm watching the replay
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: of the game. I'm like, all right, I remember I
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: wrote it down, twelve minute mark, this is our this
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: is audio gold. I'm gonna send this to Looney right away.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: And what they do they skipped forward. It was like
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: a dead period of the game, like there's a huge lead.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: And it went from I don't know like the beginning
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: of the fourth quarter, like seven minutes in the fourth quarter.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: They totally skipped over it. I can't find it. I
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: can't find it anywhere. But shout out to Robert Griffin,
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: the third Man. He believes in momentum, not just in
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: football but also in life. But look, man, at least
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: in sports. Oh gosh, momentum absolutely exist. You know what
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: else exists?
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: The who Am I? Game?
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: So there's a stat I saw shout out to Sports Center.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: This was on with Scott Van Pelt and yeah, well
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: you're not a big Sports Center guy there, Cooper.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fine, it's just me. No, he's a great show,
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: great job.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: But they had a stat on the show where it
• 36:54

• 36:59
  Speaker 3: touchdowns in each of the last two weeks, and this

  Speaker 3: accounted for five touchdowns back to back weeks. That's right,

  Speaker 3: Who's the other quarterback that accounted for five touchdowns? Who
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: and back to back weeks? Gunner checks in and says,
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: my answer is my guy, Cam Newton. It is not
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: Cam Newton. I like this, Miguel on fire. You are
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: the hefty lefty Jared Lorenzen, by the way, I can't remember.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's Philip Rivers being back now.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: He's a righty, you know, but it reminds me of
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: the hefty lefty at times, you know, at times he
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: moves a certain way and put on a lot of weight. Yeah,
• 39:46

  Speaker 3: Sounds like circling is involved in the momentum process.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: I digress. All right, No, it's.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: Who am I the guy who in twenty twenty that
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: accounted for five touchdowns in consecutive weeks? How about one?

• 40:30
  Speaker 3: the first quarterback since Russell Wilson in twenty twenty to
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: account for five touchdowns in back to back weeks. How
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: about that? And it made me think immediately about well,
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: you know, how fast Russell Wilson's career came off the
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: tracks and how much work brock Purty still has to do.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: These are two outstanding performances back to back weeks, but man,
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: there's still a lot of work to be done to
• 40:58
