- 2:13Speaker 3: look like, but we got a shot.
- 2:15Speaker 1: We got a shot DT Nico City. We're here Friday night.
- 2:19Speaker 1: We're back at it, baby eleven and four. Merry Christmas, everybody,
- 2:23Speaker 1: Merry Christmas.
- 2:23Speaker 3: Rob.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Hopefully everyone had a great week, you know, behind them,
- 2:27Speaker 1: and uh, we're onto the new year. New year brings
- 2:30Speaker 1: a lot of resolution and things of that nature. And
- 2:33Speaker 1: hopefully in the new year, we're we're in that. We're
- 2:37Speaker 1: we're right down in the in the circle of of
- 2:39Speaker 1: Buffalo watching that parade come down our way and that's
- 2:42Speaker 1: what we wanted. So time to move. It is time
- 2:44Speaker 1: to do that.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Uh.
- 2:45Speaker 1: In regards to making it happen, all the big boys
- 2:48Speaker 1: are out of the playoffs, just one biggest boy left
- 2:51Speaker 1: one seven and uh, we're we're gonna get into it here.
- 2:54Speaker 1: So two weeks left. Still gotta keep people healthy, gotta
- 2:57Speaker 1: keep rolling. It's you know, this is kind of where
- 3:00Speaker 1: I think the NFL is coming back to bite them
- 3:02Speaker 1: a little bit. The only thing that's really gonna matter
- 3:04Speaker 1: is the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in week eighteen,
- 3:09Speaker 1: Like who cares, right, And so that's I think coming
- 3:13Speaker 1: back to bite the NFL extending this a little too
- 3:15Speaker 1: long where shit just don't matter anymore, but it does
- 3:18Speaker 1: matter for us. We got to peek at the right time.
- 3:19Speaker 1: And here we go going into Philly eleven four after
- 3:23Speaker 1: a Christmas week, kind of a weird couple weeks ahead,
- 3:26Speaker 1: but happy to be here.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Mary Christmas, Rob, Yeah, Merry Christmas.
- 3:29Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it's funny because when you look
- 3:31Speaker 3: at last week's game, there's you know, there's different ways
- 3:35Speaker 3: that you can feel about it.
- 3:36Speaker 2: And one of the ways that.
- 3:39Speaker 3: It's actually a new discovery for me, DT, So you know,
- 3:42Speaker 3: being in Twitter and being on those spaces and like
- 3:46Speaker 3: interacting with different types of fans and different types of
- 3:48Speaker 3: fans that feel different types of ways. I introduced Nicol
- 3:52Speaker 3: City Crew to O Line Bills twenty two. My man
- 3:56Speaker 3: tone out there, and it was funny because you were
- 4:00Speaker 3: off that week, but he had been latching onto the thing.
- 4:03Speaker 2: And I think I've mentioned it a few times about
- 4:05Speaker 2: how you know Brady is saving stuff and he's saving
- 4:08Speaker 2: stuff for the playoffs.
- 4:10Speaker 3: Last week could have been a situation where I went
- 4:12Speaker 3: to those spaces and they were like, Rob, did you
- 4:14Speaker 3: not notice how he only ran to the right every
- 4:17Speaker 3: single time? Do you not notice how the middle of
- 4:19Speaker 3: the actual game plan was and different things like that
- 4:23Speaker 3: when you watch the game, DT, was it a situation
- 4:26Speaker 3: where you felt like the Bills were trying to do
- 4:28Speaker 3: the least amount possible to get away with the victory
- 4:31Speaker 3: keep everybody healthy, Which is actually ironic because that's the
- 4:34Speaker 3: week that Josh decides to run around like an asshole,
- 4:37Speaker 3: you know, ten yards back in his own backfield, and
- 4:39Speaker 3: then it gets hurt. It hurts his foot. So it's
- 4:42Speaker 3: just it's funny because we've you know, we always talk
- 4:44Speaker 3: about the randomness of turnovers and injuries. DT, What was
- 4:48Speaker 3: it for you last week? Because for me, I kind
- 4:53Speaker 3: of gave credence to the fact that maybe they were
- 4:54Speaker 3: holding stuff back and I hadn't thought about it watching
- 4:57Speaker 3: the game.
- 4:57Speaker 2: I was just really really frustrated with that when it
- 5:00Speaker 2: was a win twenty three twenty you know what I mean.
- 5:02Speaker 3: But it didn't need to look the way that it did,
- 5:04Speaker 3: and maybe they were vanilla one purpose, yeah, and.
- 5:08Speaker 1: That's I guess that's okay. I mean, if they lost
- 5:10Speaker 1: the game, it wouldn't have been right, but okay, you
- 5:12Speaker 1: get out of there with a victory. I I mean
- 5:15Speaker 1: I would say, I guess, like, not me being in
- 5:18Speaker 1: the pessimistic crowd, and I'm not saying you are. You've
- 5:20Speaker 1: come a long way rob for for sure, but not
- 5:24Speaker 1: being in like the like the way when I watch
- 5:26Speaker 1: games and just be so like if we're getting our
- 5:29Speaker 1: ass kicked and it's like unacceptable, like yes, I'm pissed,
- 5:32Speaker 1: but like last week against the Cleveland Browns, like in
- 5:35Speaker 1: a game where our script was decent, like yeah, they
- 5:37Speaker 1: didn't need to go down and score the first first
- 5:39Speaker 1: series That keeps happening. That's annoying, Like I get that,
- 5:43Speaker 1: but like we were on kind of pace there, blow
- 5:45Speaker 1: that game wide open. We're about to be up ten
- 5:47Speaker 1: at halftime, and then another and things just didn't fall away.
- 5:50Speaker 1: And credit to Cleveland for kind of sticking in there
- 5:53Speaker 1: and staying alive. You know, we obviously overpowered them at
- 5:57Speaker 1: the end when our defense can't do anything. But our
- 5:59Speaker 1: defense was the one closed out that game pretty easily.
- 6:02Speaker 1: I mean, Gregors was just running to shar standers and
- 6:05Speaker 1: taking him down. It wasn't like it was a crazy,
- 6:07Speaker 1: like you know, game plan. And finally he showed up
- 6:09Speaker 1: great Takwan Jones his first interception ever in his high school,
- 6:14Speaker 1: college pro career, first first pick ever for DAYA. You know, yeah,
- 6:21Speaker 1: came up with some some stops, but that dude was
- 6:24Speaker 1: never going to come back and will them to win
- 6:25Speaker 1: the game. And and that's kind of what happened. So, yeah,
- 6:28Speaker 1: it wasn't clean, you know, a ten point favorite, you
- 6:31Speaker 1: got to get out of there easier. But I thought
- 6:33Speaker 1: our game plan was good, kind of just the relaxed
- 6:35Speaker 1: run game, stay away from Miles Garrett, get up, and
- 6:38Speaker 1: we were kind of on pace to do that and
- 6:39Speaker 1: credit to the Browns were kind of kebash that a
- 6:41Speaker 1: halftime and coming back out swinging, and we weren't able to,
- 6:44Speaker 1: you know, to really move offensively. They they sold out
- 6:47Speaker 1: on the run and and we had to pass, and
- 6:50Speaker 1: you know, it comes down to who is there to
- 6:52Speaker 1: pass to? And it's just like, damn you just once
- 6:54Speaker 1: she kept one receiver, you got guys dropping it all
- 6:56Speaker 1: over the field. And to go up ten points with
- 6:59Speaker 1: Dawson in the end zone, they're on four down, Like
- 7:02Speaker 1: that covers the spread, right, that covers the spread at
- 7:05Speaker 1: double digits in the NFL, like a drop in your chest,
- 7:08Speaker 1: you know, is covering the spread. They still win the game.
- 7:11Speaker 1: I'm not on the pessimistic side of it. I'm glad
- 7:14Speaker 1: they they held back a little. That was a game
- 7:16Speaker 1: they thought they overpowered him, and they could. It almost
- 7:19Speaker 1: came back on them, but the defense was able to
- 7:21Speaker 1: turn it up when when the going got rough at
- 7:23Speaker 1: the very end and come out and seal it. So yeah, whatever,
- 7:28Speaker 1: but like what game, If you're picking a game to
- 7:30Speaker 1: hold shit back, wouldn't it have been this one? Rob?
- 7:32Speaker 1: So I'm not too critical of it. You know, it's
- 7:37Speaker 1: this point in the season, it's it's a game of
- 7:39Speaker 1: survival more than anything. As you look around the league,
- 7:42Speaker 1: and I said it in the intro. You know, Lamar
- 7:44Speaker 1: Jackson can't stay on the field, and that's going to
- 7:46Speaker 1: cause them to be out of the playoffs. Joe Burrow
- 7:48Speaker 1: couldn't stay on the field. That caused them to be
- 7:50Speaker 1: out of the playoffs. Patrick Mahomes, even if they were
- 7:53Speaker 1: in contention, he blows his knee, they'd lose out and
- 7:55Speaker 1: he'd be out of the playoffs anyway. So it's it's
- 7:58Speaker 1: a situation where you know, availability is the best availability
- 8:03Speaker 1: is the best ability at this point, and it's a
- 8:06Speaker 1: game of survival. You gotta peak at the right time.
- 8:08Speaker 1: And we always hear that, and I think, you know, hey,
- 8:10Speaker 1: on a four game winning streak, beat some good teams
- 8:12Speaker 1: on that went on the road with the Visional game
- 8:14Speaker 1: down twenty one, came back and won against the Bengals,
- 8:17Speaker 1: who might be the kryptonite. You know, oh we can't
- 8:20Speaker 1: beat the Bengals. It was exactly like that playoff game
- 8:22Speaker 1: we got embarrassed in, came back and won a little
- 8:25Speaker 1: adversity strikes Sunday against an inferior team. You've figured it
- 8:28Speaker 1: out a way to get it done. So we're finding
- 8:30Speaker 1: ways to win and seeing some adversity, and I wouldn't
- 8:32Speaker 1: say we're peaking, which is fine. I want to peak
- 8:35Speaker 1: going into the playoffs. We got two more weeks to
- 8:36Speaker 1: do that. But it definitely if it was a game
- 8:41Speaker 1: to hold back, this was the game to do it.
- 8:42Speaker 1: I just didn't. I wasn't too critical of that game,
- 8:45Speaker 1: Like we got it done. We kind of dominated it,
- 8:47Speaker 1: and yeah, they got back in.
- 8:51Speaker 3: I think that that's what you know, some of the
- 8:53Speaker 3: things that you'll hear about is that it didn't look
- 8:55Speaker 3: good and the defense necessarily didn't clamp down on should
- 9:00Speaker 3: in a way that I think that a lot of
- 9:02Speaker 3: the fan base wanted to see in that respect.
- 9:04Speaker 2: So well, I mean, I don't know about it. I
- 9:07Speaker 2: just it was it was.
- 9:08Speaker 1: A kind of a switch though, right ron Like when
- 9:11Speaker 1: it really got down to it, and it was like,
- 9:13Speaker 1: all right, if Shander Sanders is gonna drive this team
- 9:16Speaker 1: down and score and win, Like, it wasn't even cluer, right,
- 9:19Speaker 1: We blew through that line and got to him, and
- 9:21Speaker 1: it was like almost I had the confidence in that point,
- 9:24Speaker 1: and this defense is given me no confidence all year.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Some second ass adjustment, sure, some turnover, sure, but there's
- 9:30Speaker 1: no reason I should have confidence in the defense. But
- 9:32Speaker 1: it's just that feeling we're better, we're gonna win this game.
- 9:35Speaker 1: And that's why I really wasn't worried about it. The
- 9:36Speaker 1: one big flaw in it with Josh Allen going down
- 9:39Speaker 1: that just because he's a psycho path rob. That wasn't
- 9:42Speaker 1: because he was trying to make a play. He wasn't
- 9:44Speaker 1: trying to get another thirty yards. He saw ninety five
- 9:46Speaker 1: coming at him, he didn't want the record to be
- 9:48Speaker 1: on him, So he's a psycho. They probably talked about
- 9:52Speaker 1: it all week. They probably talked about it all week.
- 9:55Speaker 1: If Miles gets to you, just take it and you know,
- 9:57Speaker 1: move on. And Josh said, okay, okay, coach, check out you.
- 10:00Speaker 1: And he sees ninety five he said, nah, fuck that
- 10:02Speaker 1: he ain't getting it on me. So that's exactly what
- 10:05Speaker 1: happened there, and he Josh paid it.
- 10:07Speaker 2: You know.
- 10:08Speaker 1: He he's in the locker room after that game knowing,
- 10:10Speaker 1: like damn, I should have just taken the sack, not
- 10:11Speaker 1: been an idiot. Now my foot's killing me, you know,
- 10:14Speaker 1: like all this shit, Like I didn't need to be
- 10:15Speaker 1: dealing with that. I did just because I'm a crazy competitor.
- 10:18Speaker 1: So the one biggest flaw in the game was just
- 10:20Speaker 1: because our quarterback is a psycho. But he's a psycho
- 10:23Speaker 1: when that's why we also love him because he does
- 10:26Speaker 1: crazy shit to win us games and score six touchdowns.
- 10:28Speaker 1: So he's also a psycho and does things like that.
- 10:30Speaker 1: And it didn't lose us the game, and we claimed
- 10:32Speaker 1: down when we needed he drove down when we needed
- 10:34Speaker 1: to at the end put it in Dawson Knox chests,
- 10:37Speaker 1: like what else do you want him to do there too?
- 10:39Speaker 1: So it yeah, Hey, I'm not worried in playoff mode.
- 10:43Speaker 1: I'm glad we clinched after Monday, Like let's let's let's roll,
- 10:46Speaker 1: let's let's get right, let's get healthy. We're banged up
- 10:49Speaker 1: right now. Two weeks to get healthy, get into the
- 10:51Speaker 1: playoffs and see who you got. But I'm not I'm
- 10:53Speaker 1: not gonna be sitting here bitching and calling wgr about
- 10:56Speaker 1: the Browns game. It was win, and I say a
- 11:00Speaker 1: good win. It didn't look good, but.
- 11:02Speaker 2: It was a good definitely.
- 11:03Speaker 3: I mean all wins, all wins this time of year
- 11:06Speaker 3: are good wins.
- 11:06Speaker 1: You know.
- 11:07Speaker 2: It's funny because when you said that.
- 11:09Speaker 3: You know when I came on the space, you know,
- 11:11Speaker 3: last week after the game, and they were all like,
- 11:13Speaker 3: where you've been, Robin, this and that, and where you've
- 11:15Speaker 3: been and where you've been, cripp you know, Nicol City crew,
- 11:17Speaker 3: where you've been Listen. I was in a situation where
- 11:21Speaker 3: I needed to see us win a game where everything
- 11:26Speaker 3: is not you know what I mean, conducive, because we've
- 11:28Speaker 3: been through situations in the past, DT where we put
- 11:31Speaker 3: away teams like Cleveland early on in the game, you
- 11:34Speaker 3: know what I mean, like it's early and they're gone
- 11:37Speaker 3: and they have no chance. And that wasn't what Sunday was.
- 11:39Speaker 3: So I understand some of the frustration, but there are
- 11:42Speaker 3: no style points this time of year. I think we
- 11:45Speaker 3: literally did an episode called style Points be damned last
- 11:49Speaker 3: season like this time of year, DT, You're absolutely right.
- 11:52Speaker 3: It's about winning, it's about showing up for your team.
- 11:56Speaker 3: And I don't know, man, I mean, it was ugly
- 12:00Speaker 3: before we transition, DT. What do you think about the
- 12:04Speaker 3: fact that, yes, Josh Allen made that heroic play which
- 12:10Speaker 3: was a dumb play to walk back towards his end
- 12:12Speaker 3: zone and then he hurts himself like is this something
- 12:15Speaker 3: where we're gonna have to worry about this going forward.
- 12:17Speaker 3: I'm knocking on wood as we you don't go forward
- 12:20Speaker 3: because Josh is never gonna tell you shit. Josh is
- 12:22Speaker 3: never gonna admit that it like it's as bad as
- 12:24Speaker 3: whatever it could be.
- 12:25Speaker 2: But like it what a dumb playes.
- 12:28Speaker 1: And he knows that. And and I mean your question
- 12:32Speaker 1: should be worried. We should always be worried. I mean,
- 12:34Speaker 1: look what happened. Look what happened to Kansas City, you know,
- 12:38Speaker 1: two weeks ago. Like it's the NFL, like Tom Brady.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Tom Brady was on a few seasons in his run too.
- 12:44Speaker 1: Like it it's the NFL, Like the dude's gonna get
- 12:46Speaker 1: banged up. Dude's gonna miss games eventually. Right, But Josh
- 12:49Speaker 1: has been so durable, that's why they call him Superman.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Yep.
- 12:51Speaker 1: But he also he's grown, you know, he has been
- 12:54Speaker 1: coached and he has grown. And yes, in the beginning
- 12:56Speaker 1: of his career he was psycho and running all over
- 12:58Speaker 1: and taking bad hits. He's gotten a lot better at that.
- 13:01Speaker 1: And you see the high competitive moments, he lets that
- 13:03Speaker 1: all go out the window. But sometimes that's for good.
- 13:05Speaker 1: In this case, he knows that was dumb. He knew
- 13:07Speaker 1: he shouldn't have done that, But like I said, there
- 13:09Speaker 1: was a sole reason there, and the sole reason was
- 13:12Speaker 1: he didn't want to be the guy that got sacked
- 13:14Speaker 1: by Miles Garrett for the set for the record or
- 13:17Speaker 1: to tie it, and his competitive nature took over. It's
- 13:19Speaker 1: a learning experience he's been. He showed he can be
- 13:22Speaker 1: coached and learned in every situation in his career. Everything
- 13:25Speaker 1: that we used to have qualms on him about he's
- 13:28Speaker 1: fixed or got coached on and doesn't have those qualms anymore.
- 13:30Speaker 1: So he knows that's an easy self teaching moment. Coach,
- 13:33Speaker 1: don't even have to say shit to him. Yeah, don't
- 13:35Speaker 1: run thirty yards backwards and almost get a safety. Yeah, no,
- 13:39Speaker 1: no shit, thanks coach. But you know, like he knows
- 13:43Speaker 1: it was a competitive fluke because he is such a psychopath.
- 13:46Speaker 1: His foot probably hurts. He's probably feeling it every morning
- 13:49Speaker 1: getting in out of that ice path, like damn, I'm
- 13:51Speaker 1: an idiot, Like why did I do that? And you know,
- 13:54Speaker 1: but that that foot was banged up though the couple
- 13:58Speaker 1: weeks earlier, I think Sincy he has rolled that ankle
- 14:02Speaker 1: up a little bit, so keep an eye on it,
- 14:04Speaker 1: keep it off, you know this week, don't do anything crazy,
- 14:07Speaker 1: But I'm not you know, should we be worried? Of
- 14:09Speaker 1: course we should because it's the NFL and shit happens.
- 14:12Speaker 1: But should we be worried that Josh Allen is is
- 14:15Speaker 1: can't handle himself out there, Like, No, he just had
- 14:17Speaker 1: a bad moment at that time. It's not it's not
- 14:20Speaker 1: a he's showing he's grown and he's been able to
- 14:23Speaker 1: get coached to move on from all his all his shortcomings.
- 14:26Speaker 2: Up until Yeah, that's true. Absolutely.
- 14:29Speaker 3: Now, as we transition tonight tonight's episode, we want to
- 14:32Speaker 3: mention all of our sponsors during this holiday season.

- 15:39Speaker 3: gets a chance to enjoy any time he wants.
- 15:42Speaker 2: You're down here in Charlotte. I promise you you don't
- 15:44Speaker 2: get that good food like back home.
- 15:47Speaker 3: Check out Taste of Buffalo Pizzeria again here in Huntersville,
- 15:51Speaker 3: Charlotte area.
- 15:52Speaker 2: DT. I named the web episode the way that I did.
- 15:57Speaker 3: We had a nice little pre show talk and then
- 15:59Speaker 3: I get the promoter promo excuse me out a couple
- 16:03Speaker 3: hours ago on Instagram. It's time to like it's time
- 16:06Speaker 3: to move, Like it's time to make moves. Sunday's game is,
- 16:10Speaker 3: if nothing else, even if it doesn't have anything to
- 16:12Speaker 3: do with the AFC East, it has something to do
- 16:15Speaker 3: with compet It's kind of like the other week with
- 16:17Speaker 3: the Psyche, Like how do we stack up? This team
- 16:20Speaker 3: has been through a roller coaster just like we have
- 16:23Speaker 3: this year, and they've been up and down there. They've
- 16:25Speaker 3: got a ten and five or eleven and four one
- 16:26Speaker 3: game better, but they've been through their own set of adversity.
- 16:30Speaker 2: DT.
- 16:30Speaker 3: Talk to me about this matchup on Sunday, what you
- 16:32Speaker 3: think are some of the keys because I think that
- 16:35Speaker 3: these are two teams that mirror each other in different ways.
- 16:37Speaker 3: It's not the same, but like they've we've both got
- 16:40Speaker 3: our drama, you know what I mean. You know, Kean
- 16:42Speaker 3: Coleman is not AJ Brown. I'm not trying to say that,
- 16:45Speaker 3: but like what I'm trying to say is that you know,
- 16:48Speaker 3: both McDermott and and Sirianni have had to deal with
- 16:51Speaker 3: like a lot of shit this year for both teams.
- 16:52Speaker 1: They've been through So it's because expectations are so high,
- 16:56Speaker 1: right the Eagles coming off a Super Bowl and the
- 16:59Speaker 1: Bills went to the playoffs the last you know, nine
- 17:02Speaker 1: years under Stan McDermott. Is true that we you know,
- 17:06Speaker 1: it's so Capacchio called it spoiled earlier in the year.
- 17:08Speaker 1: We expect greatness now from this team. And the Eagle
- 17:11Speaker 1: Stands are just as nuts as us. Something a little
- 17:13Speaker 1: more brash, if you will, you know, we're into it,
- 17:17Speaker 1: but the Eagle Stands are just downright mean sometimes right,
- 17:19Speaker 1: and they they're talking like after a loss the year
- 17:22Speaker 1: after they win the Super Bowl, they're they're like outside
- 17:25Speaker 1: of Nick Sirianni's house and ship like Bill's Moby is
- 17:28Speaker 1: that type of stuff. But the similar, similar stuff of
- 17:33Speaker 1: the you know, blue collar crazy fans expectations as high
- 17:36Speaker 1: because they're two super Bowl contending teams, I you know, yeah,
- 17:40Speaker 1: similar in the fact of like Philly has the talent, uh,
- 17:44Speaker 1: but they weren't you know, they weren't showing it. It
- 17:46Speaker 1: just kind of seemed like they were stale and holding
- 17:48Speaker 1: stuff back, if you will. And in our side, it's
- 17:51Speaker 1: you know, it's just Josh Allen, where is the talent?
- 17:54Speaker 1: And can we get over the hump, and so there
- 17:56Speaker 1: are similarities. Of course, this NFL I think again, I
- 18:00Speaker 1: talked about it earlier, and I didn't mean to get
- 18:01Speaker 1: on a soapbox against like long seasons or anything like this,
- 18:04Speaker 1: but like, this is a week seventeen game now, like
- 18:07Speaker 1: it's gonna be shitty, like the way it's gonna be,
- 18:09Speaker 1: you know, twenty eight and raining all day, like a
- 18:12Speaker 1: two marquee game like teams that in earlier in the year.
- 18:16Speaker 1: This is a big game like this now it's really
- 18:18Speaker 1: not a big game, like yeah for the confidence and
- 18:20Speaker 1: get ready for the playoffs.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Or like okay, but like this is at the beginning
- 18:25Speaker 2: of the year.
- 18:25Speaker 3: DT will another schedule review about how like this might
- 18:28Speaker 3: not mean much, you know, yeah, and.
- 18:31Speaker 1: It could have you know, and they they've the NFL
- 18:33Speaker 1: flipped the coing like that it meant everything. Both these
- 18:35Speaker 1: teams going for a division or both these teams going
- 18:37Speaker 1: for a one seed, and they would have to battle
- 18:39Speaker 1: in this game to go up for it. But then
- 18:42Speaker 1: they didn't put it on Christmas either. I thought, this
- 18:43Speaker 1: is a beautiful Christmas game too, Rob, you know, put
- 18:46Speaker 1: in Buffalo on Christmas. It would have been a beautiful day.
- 18:49Speaker 1: Yesterday for it, and I think the NFL, you know,
- 18:51Speaker 1: definitely missed the ball. And now I'm not too critical
- 18:53Speaker 1: of those games slates yesterday because preseason, that's that's a
- 18:57Speaker 1: good that's a good day of matchups.
- 18:58Speaker 2: Right, you know, A fuck they got fucked. Nobody knew,
- 19:01Speaker 2: you know, Netflix, Yeah, all.
- 19:02Speaker 1: Those teams are contenders, you know, in a in a
- 19:05Speaker 1: perfect world. Last year they all were like okay, but
- 19:08Speaker 1: still Bill's Eagles is still better than all those games,
- 19:10Speaker 1: even if they are like legit, you know. So I
- 19:14Speaker 1: thought a few things got dropped on this and it
- 19:17Speaker 1: lost a lot of luster for me. And now it's
- 19:19Speaker 1: lost the luster in the fact of I just want
- 19:22Speaker 1: to stay healthy, get in like the Jets game, maybe,
- 19:25Speaker 1: like to get rolling. But it's still two weeks away,
- 19:28Speaker 1: like from that playoff, from that wild card you know, weekend,
- 19:32Speaker 1: and we're gonna have to be ready to go. I'd
- 19:34Speaker 1: like to see some good stuff against a good team,
- 19:36Speaker 1: a little playoff litmus test this week. But it has
- 19:40Speaker 1: lost a lot of luster for me, rob And you know,
- 19:42Speaker 1: even it really whatever scenario that happens, I just can't
- 19:46Speaker 1: like when I say that, I can't just find myself
- 19:48Speaker 1: moving emotion if we beat them by forty Okay, they
- 19:52Speaker 1: were kind of out of it. They they're they're clinched.
- 19:55Speaker 1: They might have not brought all their stuff. Whatever. We're
- 19:57Speaker 1: not forty points better than that roster, right, if we
- 20:00Speaker 1: lose by forty, We're not forty points worse than that roster.
- 20:02Speaker 1: If we win in a nail bier. If we lose
- 20:05Speaker 1: in a nail bier, Like, I really don't feel I
- 20:08Speaker 1: don't feel any type of different on Monday, right, And
- 20:11Speaker 1: I agree that the luster.
- 20:13Speaker 3: Was taken off, But that's why I referenced our schedule show,
- 20:16Speaker 3: like we were perplexed by the fact that why, like
- 20:19Speaker 3: you said, why was it so late? And then like,
- 20:23Speaker 3: even if it wasn't so late, Christmas would have been
- 20:25Speaker 3: like I never even thought of that, Like, yeah, that
- 20:27Speaker 3: would have been great, Like because now we're still and
- 20:30Speaker 3: all we're doing is Okay, we're gonna hold out Christmas,
- 20:33Speaker 3: hope that the Patriots lose one more game between Sunday,
- 20:36Speaker 3: which we would have played on on Thursday, you know
- 20:39Speaker 3: what I mean, and Sunday, and then next week, you know,
- 20:42Speaker 3: either lose the Jets or lose to the Dolphins. It
- 20:43Speaker 3: would have felt a lot different if this game was
- 20:46Speaker 3: played on Christmas for sure, and then you win that game.
- 20:48Speaker 3: You're right, Yeah, I never even I never even thought
- 20:51Speaker 3: about that, but you're absolutely right.
- 20:54Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and I mean it, So Sunday happens and
- 20:58Speaker 1: it's all right. Or the five seed? All right, we're
- 21:01Speaker 1: the five seed. All right, we're the five seed. Oh
- 21:04Speaker 1: maybe we could be the four seed. But like the
- 21:09Speaker 1: four seed, you can't. You can't gotta win the division. Listen,
- 21:12Speaker 1: and we could.
- 21:13Speaker 2: We can quickly talk about that before we transition to
- 21:15Speaker 2: our last topic. So you know, like I don't are
- 21:18Speaker 2: you still holding out hope or because for me for
- 21:22Speaker 2: the division? Yeah, Like I just think that it's over.
- 21:24Speaker 1: Right, Like I think it's over. I think it's over.
- 21:28Speaker 1: I still got hope, but I think it's over.
- 21:30Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 21:30Speaker 3: So then yeah, then we're we're locked in on five
- 21:33Speaker 3: or six seed and we'll we'll go from there. So
- 21:35Speaker 3: as we transition tonight, you know, I'm looking for tomorrow's game.
- 21:40Speaker 3: Like I said, a lot of the luster is has
- 21:43Speaker 3: been removed from a lot of the shine, but dt
- 21:46Speaker 3: I'm it's Josh Allen's health for me, so like for
- 21:49Speaker 3: for me, but I don't know if tomorrow you'll be
- 21:51Speaker 3: able to tell, because maybe they'll just run the ball
- 21:53Speaker 3: like they did, you know, in other games, and then
- 21:56Speaker 3: you won't notice that Josh. But maybe it's no design
- 21:59Speaker 3: runs for Josh. Maybe it's some situation where they're not
- 22:02Speaker 3: even you know, maybe he doesn't even attempt twenty passes.
- 22:05Speaker 3: Maybe you know, he attempts fifteen and it's only necessary.
- 22:09Speaker 3: And I don't know about the wide receiver cort because
- 22:11Speaker 3: last week was so weird to me that Gave Davis
- 22:13Speaker 3: was benched, Keyam was benched, Cooks dropping passes, like it
- 22:16Speaker 3: was just a weird choice of how they did the lineup.
- 22:19Speaker 3: I don't know DT, but I'm looking at a situation
- 22:22Speaker 3: where I don't like. Maybe it's just a game where
- 22:24Speaker 3: they just try to get out of there again quick
- 22:26Speaker 3: and if you win, you win. If you don't like,
- 22:28Speaker 3: I don't, I just I'm having a tough time putting
- 22:31Speaker 3: the finger on how much they get, like they give
- 22:33Speaker 3: a ship meter, like what's what.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Are are they going in there and making a regular
- 22:38Speaker 1: game plan as if it don't matter, Like if they're just.
- 22:41Speaker 3: In the game changers out, Jordan Phillips is out, like.
- 22:45Speaker 1: I would say they're changing it up. Yeah, I don't
- 22:48Speaker 1: think they're just you know, and they'll say that in
- 22:51Speaker 1: that and Sean McDermott, we're critical on that of he
- 22:53Speaker 1: just this is the stick to the process, that's the procedure.
- 22:57Speaker 1: We playing every week to win. But like you can,
- 23:00Speaker 1: you can't fool me on that anymore. This boy, this
- 23:02Speaker 1: boy's cost him this this city more than anybody has
- 23:05Speaker 1: ever cost him. So they're not They're making decisions based
- 23:08Speaker 1: on you know, his his availability and keeping him longevity
- 23:12Speaker 1: and moving forward with all that. So I think the
- 23:14Speaker 1: game pan changes up a little. But you have the
- 23:17Speaker 1: league's leading rusher, you have you know, one of the
- 23:20Speaker 1: best offensive lines in the league, and like so great
- 23:23Speaker 1: perfect game to to have to hand it off forty
- 23:25Speaker 1: times because you got the offense to do that. So
- 23:29Speaker 1: I I don't I think there it's in their heads,
- 23:32Speaker 1: it's in the game plan, you know, but it's I
- 23:35Speaker 1: also think the game plan was anyway at this point
- 23:38Speaker 1: in the year, to preserve and you know, move forward,
- 23:40Speaker 1: keep everyone healthy. If we down the stretch, I think
- 23:44Speaker 1: they're still gonna try to win the game. I don't
- 23:45Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a situation where it's like, all right,
- 23:47Speaker 1: he's got to goin for one hard series here to
- 23:49Speaker 1: go win, Like we're gonna go do that, I think.
- 23:51Speaker 1: But I think overall the plan, but even him hurt
- 23:54Speaker 1: or not hurt, I think it's a very similar like chill,
- 23:58Speaker 1: run game, attack, get let's get to the now we've clinched.
- 24:01Speaker 1: This had to be in the procedure, right, this had
- 24:03Speaker 1: to be. All right, we're the one seed in week seventeen.
- 24:06Speaker 1: This is kind of what we're gonna be wanting to do. Okay,
- 24:09Speaker 1: we're not in the playoffs. This is kind of what
- 24:10Speaker 1: we're gonna want to be doing. All right, we're in
- 24:12Speaker 1: the wildcard, and so they have to be you know,
- 24:14Speaker 1: NFL franchises have to be planning for all case scenarios,
- 24:18Speaker 1: and so you got to hope they're prepared for something
- 24:21Speaker 1: like this, and I think that preparation is a little off.
- 24:24Speaker 1: The gas lead on the league's leading rusher, Lee lean On,
- 24:28Speaker 1: you know, one of the best lines in the in
- 24:30Speaker 1: the game right now, and hurt your quarterback. Quarterback hurt
- 24:34Speaker 1: or not, you know, it's still a laid back game.
- 24:38Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I.
- 24:40Speaker 3: Guess I can't disagree, you know, I just I think
- 24:43Speaker 3: that such an like the opponent. I've got cousins in Philly, like,
- 24:47Speaker 3: you know, to mean, my next door neighbor is like
- 24:50Speaker 3: I just like I wanted to have, you know, I
- 24:53Speaker 3: wanted it to have more juice, DT, and it just
- 24:55Speaker 3: seems like a lot of it has been squeezed out.
- 24:56Speaker 3: So as we transition to begin to wrap up tonight,
- 25:00Speaker 3: I wanted to have a conversation with you one more time.
- 25:02Speaker 3: It's funny because you know our boys sheet he was
- 25:06Speaker 3: going to try to get on. He got busy with
- 25:08Speaker 3: family and and we understand that, but you know, I
- 25:10Speaker 3: wanted to, you know, kind of reassess where he was
- 25:12Speaker 3: coming from. Because DT, I look at the conference once
- 25:16Speaker 3: again a couple weeks later after we had that conversation
- 25:18Speaker 3: with him on Nicol City Crew, and I'm having a
- 25:23Speaker 3: tough time locating the teams that I'm supposed to fear now.
- 25:28Speaker 2: I do. I will be honest. I'll be honest, DT.
- 25:32Speaker 3: I do feel like the Buffalo Bills could lose to
- 25:35Speaker 3: any team this season throughout the twenty twenty five postseason.
- 25:39Speaker 3: Like I think that they are capable of losing to
- 25:42Speaker 3: any team. That's because of you know, the loss to.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Because we had no, I mean, we've lost some teams.
- 25:51Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, we've lost some booty cheek teams.
- 25:53Speaker 3: But I mean, like I was gonna say the loss
- 25:56Speaker 3: to Atlanta, obviously, the loss to Miami is number one
- 25:59Speaker 3: grade A, you know the reason why we're in this
- 26:01Speaker 3: division problem. But I was also going to say, how
- 26:03Speaker 3: like how close we played you know, the Saints, and
- 26:06Speaker 3: like how close we've looked the weekend? You know, it
- 26:08Speaker 3: was just like weeks where like I said earlier the show,
- 26:11Speaker 3: we used to blow those types.
- 26:12Speaker 2: Of teams out.
- 26:13Speaker 3: If we don't blow them out anymore, and that that's
- 26:16Speaker 3: concerning we start at the conference DT, I don't.
- 26:21Speaker 2: I don't.
- 26:21Speaker 3: I'm not fearing many teams. Let's start out. Denver is
- 26:24Speaker 3: on a precarious world. They just won the other night
- 26:27Speaker 3: on Christmas Night, DT twenty to thirteen. They did not
- 26:32Speaker 3: look that good. I got into it with Twitter on
- 26:34Speaker 3: Twitter with a guy that is a die hard, like
- 26:37Speaker 3: we are die hards for the Bills, and was like,
- 26:39Speaker 3: they're better than you and they're going to avenge last
- 26:42Speaker 3: last year's loss if you have to come to you
- 26:45Speaker 3: know what I mean, to the mountaintop to I don't know, DT,
- 26:49Speaker 3: I don't know if you go out and spend time
- 26:52Speaker 3: in the elevation, that's going to just make up for
- 26:53Speaker 3: everything like that.
- 26:54Speaker 2: This team, this team just doesn't look that good to me.
- 26:57Speaker 2: I'm I'm not scared of Denver. I'm not.
- 27:00Speaker 3: Their defense is excellent, by the way, respect whether it
- 27:03Speaker 3: can say respectfully, bless me with a dot.
- 27:10Speaker 1: I previous years we've had a higher caliber team, so
- 27:17Speaker 1: the expectations were, well, I'm not afraid anybody because we're good.
- 27:20Speaker 1: We got that, We got it like that. Yeah, mahomes are,
- 27:24Speaker 1: Mahomes is tough. Yeah, Lamar is tough, but we got
- 27:26Speaker 1: it like that. So I like us against anybody. But
- 27:28Speaker 1: you're still a little hir right.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Now.
- 27:33Speaker 1: Yeah, the caliber might not be there. Seventeen is still there,
- 27:35Speaker 1: But then the rest of the playoffs, you don't have
- 27:37Speaker 1: all those boogeymen you know that you could say like, eh, yeah,
- 27:41Speaker 1: I'm not scared of but really you're kind of scared
- 27:44Speaker 1: in this case without those guys in it, I can't
- 27:48Speaker 1: be scared of these dudes. I can't be like I
- 27:51Speaker 1: can say I'm not scared, and I'm actually not scared,
- 27:54Speaker 1: like put it in my mouth, like I'm not a
- 27:57Speaker 1: pompous idiot of like if they lose, you know, like, oh,
- 28:01Speaker 1: you know, that's why you don't overlook this team that
- 28:04Speaker 1: won thirteen games, Like I'm not saying that at all,
- 28:07Speaker 1: but like I when I have a high caliber team,
- 28:11Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm not scared of the Chiefs and the
- 28:12Speaker 1: Ravens and all those dudes in the playoffs because i
- 28:14Speaker 1: have a high caliber team. But I'm actually a little
- 28:16Speaker 1: scared right now.
- 28:18Speaker 2: I haven't.
- 28:19Speaker 1: I have a lower caliber team, but I'm not actually
- 28:24Speaker 1: scared like I'm saying, I'm not scared. I'm actually not.
- 28:26Speaker 1: Like that doesn't mean, like you said, we can't lose,
- 28:30Speaker 1: but I'm definitely not scared. Like you put him up,
- 28:32Speaker 1: like this team has proven Josh Allen has proven he
- 28:35Speaker 1: can go with the best of them. He's not getting
- 28:37Speaker 1: like other than Patrick Mahomes technically, and he's been the
- 28:40Speaker 1: best in those games. Like, so it's proven he can
- 28:43Speaker 1: best anyone. And these dudes are the easiest to best, right,
- 28:48Speaker 1: So okay, let's go through it.
- 28:50Speaker 2: Let's let's be thorough.
- 28:52Speaker 3: Let's be thorough as we close out uh the episode tonight,
- 28:56Speaker 3: then let's be let's be thorough and be I just.
- 28:59Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, but it's a visual thing. But yeah,
- 29:02Speaker 1: let's start this one.
- 29:03Speaker 3: This is because this is the last episode of twenty
- 29:06Speaker 3: twenty five, so let's put a bow on the actual
- 29:09Speaker 3: calendar year and let's do our due diligence. Prior to
- 29:12Speaker 3: the playoffs starting DT, we talked about Denver. I am
- 29:15Speaker 3: not worried about them. I have I think they played.
- 29:18Speaker 3: I forgot and then I was reminded today that Denver
- 29:23Speaker 3: beat the Jets thirteen to eleven on in London and
- 29:28Speaker 3: in London, and then I remember, and I immediately remembered
- 29:32Speaker 3: cleaning my I was, I was mopping my floors on
- 29:36Speaker 3: Sunday morning, and I forgot that the game was on,
- 29:38Speaker 3: and I turned it on and I was and I
- 29:39Speaker 3: remember mopping my floors, like just doing mundane stuff before
- 29:43Speaker 3: our game starts, and like god, like this is a
- 29:46Speaker 3: horrible game, Like London was given this piece of shit.
- 29:49Speaker 3: I don't I don't trust both Nicks.
- 29:51Speaker 1: And he's played well, he played well. They do have
- 29:55Speaker 1: they do have some weapons offensively in their defensive stout for.
- 29:58Speaker 2: Sure, but I like excellent, excellent, I said, yeah, I.
- 30:02Speaker 1: Like this the I like the the confidence this team
- 30:04Speaker 1: does have right, because like they're like, oh, yeah, well
- 30:08Speaker 1: he's the guy, he's the future, he's our guy, he's
- 30:10Speaker 1: the future. In the defense is feeling themselves because they're nasty.
- 30:13Speaker 1: So they have the I think they have this fake
- 30:15Speaker 1: sense of confidence where remember the last like, you guys
- 30:18Speaker 1: don't have any playoff experience. In the playoff experience, you do.
- 30:21Speaker 1: We beat the fuck breaks off you in the in
- 30:24Speaker 1: the wildcard game, like it was a straight beat down.
- 30:27Speaker 1: And that's the level of the difference is the levels.
- 30:30Speaker 1: There's levels to the ship. Rob seventeen right, seventeen leveled
- 30:34Speaker 1: way way up. So yeah, I love the confidence. I
- 30:38Speaker 1: love how you play like that and you're feeling yourselves.
- 30:40Speaker 1: But then you don't. You don't play with what he
- 30:44Speaker 1: can bring to a game like that can't be practiced,
- 30:46Speaker 1: that can't be preached. And and we'll see who you
- 30:49Speaker 1: are because right now you're a team that win, has
- 30:53Speaker 1: won some close games. You got beat the breaks off
- 30:55Speaker 1: you last year in the playoffs. Let's see who you are, right,
- 30:57Speaker 1: So I don't I that's what doesn't scar me about them.
- 31:00Speaker 1: I like that they're confident because I think they just
- 31:03Speaker 1: take this like, oh, it's just another game.
- 31:04Speaker 2: We just do our thing.
- 31:05Speaker 1: We beat Josh Allen.
- 31:06Speaker 3: It's not I think they should know better from last year. Okay,
- 31:10Speaker 3: we'll move on quickly. Let's get through this conference real quick.
- 31:14Speaker 2: New England.
- 31:15Speaker 3: I would say, get. I would say, here's what I
- 31:17Speaker 3: would say. I've already and we already conceded the division,
- 31:21Speaker 3: like in our heads, like it's going to be a
- 31:23Speaker 3: Christmas miracle, Cindi.
- 31:25Speaker 2: Luhu type shit, you know, to be the Grids type shit.
- 31:27Speaker 3: Okay, if we don't win the division, congratulations, you want
- 31:31Speaker 3: it and you took you did take it because you
- 31:34Speaker 3: came into our house and we were unveiling our new jerseys.
- 31:36Speaker 2: Everybody's got white jerseys.
- 31:38Speaker 3: Everybody trying to get you know, make sure chicken wing
- 31:40Speaker 3: sauce stays off of it, or not even wearing it
- 31:42Speaker 3: during the tailgate.
- 31:43Speaker 2: They're only wording it when you're walking in. You already
- 31:45Speaker 2: know how. That's all I always do for every game.
- 31:48Speaker 2: I never wear my jersey. I'm not going to ruin
- 31:49Speaker 2: it before the game.
- 31:50Speaker 3: But the funny part was that we unveiled all that
- 31:53Speaker 3: shit and then after the game, everybody's like, burn all
- 31:55Speaker 3: the shit.
- 31:55Speaker 2: It's bullshit, it whatever, because we got beat at home.
- 31:59Speaker 2: They have beat you and then they were up on you.
- 32:02Speaker 3: So I feel like it is only right in the
- 32:05Speaker 3: spirit of competition to give them respect.
- 32:07Speaker 2: I'll give your respect on that.
- 32:08Speaker 3: Drake May is not Josh Allen, but he's a good
- 32:11Speaker 3: quarterback and it looks like he's ascending. He's not Josh Allen.
- 32:14Speaker 2: DT.
- 32:15Speaker 3: I guess we talked about give a ship meter. Let's
- 32:19Speaker 3: talk about panic meter. Ten is I think we could
- 32:23Speaker 3: lose this game today, Like I'm gonna site Patriots.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Or any We'll go through the panic meeting for the
- 32:29Speaker 2: rest of the teams. We just talked about Denver.
- 32:31Speaker 3: Denver is the presumptive number one seed if they stay
- 32:33Speaker 3: on track, the number two seed would be New England
- 32:36Speaker 3: at that point in time, DT, what's your what's your meter?
- 32:39Speaker 2: Like? Like, this team could beat.
- 32:41Speaker 1: Me this day if we put this meter, this meter
- 32:44Speaker 1: is higher than Denver. For me, this meter is higher
- 32:48Speaker 1: than Denver. But this is what I'll say, divisional division,
- 32:50Speaker 1: formable opponent. Good for the Patriots. They have a good
- 32:53Speaker 1: culture there Belichick. Out of Belichick, the're able grew up
- 32:56Speaker 1: in it. They know they know how to do it right. Sure,
- 32:59Speaker 1: they took it from us.
- 32:59Speaker 2: They took it. We have to give them that respect.
- 33:02Speaker 1: But rubber match one one day won one, we won one.
- 33:07Speaker 1: This is the rubber match. Who you taking in the
- 33:10Speaker 1: rubber match? That's half and half roll it out rubber match.
- 33:14Speaker 1: If it was a Vegas fight, Who's got the odds?
- 33:17Speaker 1: The odds are going to Josh Allen all day, every day.
- 33:19Speaker 1: It's the rubber match. I like seventeen. So that's what
- 33:23Speaker 1: I feel about the Patriots. I'm more concerned with them
- 33:25Speaker 1: than the Broncos rubber match. I'm taking one seven.
- 33:30Speaker 3: Jacksonville is sitting below us at the three excuse me,
- 33:33Speaker 3: below them, excuse me at the three seed, and they
- 33:36Speaker 3: I think have been characterized and categorized as one of
- 33:40Speaker 3: the most complete teams in the conference.
- 33:42Speaker 2: Well, we're not gonna let the go league right now.
- 33:44Speaker 3: You always know, I'm hyper focused on just getting to
- 33:47Speaker 3: the super Bowl and representing the conference. Among the AFC
- 33:51Speaker 3: DT they say that the most complete. They go into Denver,
- 33:54Speaker 3: who Denver was, you know, feared to be the AFC
- 33:57Speaker 3: you know bully, and they really did take care of them.
- 34:01Speaker 3: They took care of them rather handle a two touchdown win.
- 34:04Speaker 3: And for me, I don't necessarily, I'm not. I'm not
- 34:08Speaker 3: seeking them out. If you're talking about I want.
- 34:10Speaker 2: To see you, come come see me, Picksburg, come see me.
- 34:13Speaker 2: You know I'll come see you.
- 34:15Speaker 3: I'm not like shouting out Jacksonville's name during that that
- 34:18Speaker 3: whole little montage. I'm not shouting them out, not that
- 34:20Speaker 3: I Again, I think we could lose any of the
- 34:22Speaker 3: AFC teams. I think we could beat all of them
- 34:24Speaker 3: as well. So because of them, they're one of those
- 34:26Speaker 3: teams that kind of have my panic meter up? What
- 34:28Speaker 3: would be your panic meter for a team like that?
- 34:31Speaker 3: Like I'm sitting down on Sundays ten, were we we are,
- 34:34Speaker 3: we could we could definitely lose this game as a ten.
- 34:38Speaker 1: Concern level includes bad mojo with this squad. Josh Allen
- 34:43Speaker 1: hasn't liked this, this Jaguars team, Like we're going we
- 34:46Speaker 1: break the It wasn't Josh Allen, but we break the
- 34:49Speaker 1: playoffster out. We go down there and score three points.
- 34:51Speaker 1: Josh Allen when they were a dominant team two years ago.
- 34:54Speaker 1: I go down and wayte five days. It rains every
- 34:56Speaker 1: freaking day in Jacksonville, Florida, and they score six waits
- 35:00Speaker 1: to lose to Urban Meyer who literally had to get
- 35:02Speaker 1: like kicked out of the league because he was playing
- 35:05Speaker 1: over his head. Yes, we go to London a few
- 35:09Speaker 1: times and play some bullshit game against this team. Like
- 35:12Speaker 1: it's just a weird like juju with this team. I
- 35:15Speaker 1: don't like it, you know, it's it's it's weird, like
- 35:17Speaker 1: it's a team that has never really been respected, but
- 35:19Speaker 1: like they find a way to like find us and
- 35:22Speaker 1: that's and that's annoying. And I told the you know,
- 35:25Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when we did the uh
- 35:28Speaker 1: I think it was a Monday night game early in
- 35:30Speaker 1: the season, I was like, we owe them one, you know,
- 35:32Speaker 1: we owe them one. Josh Allen owes him one. And
- 35:34Speaker 1: we went and beat the Brakes off and you know
- 35:35Speaker 1: what was it like forty eight to ten or something, right, right,
- 35:38Speaker 1: And so the concern level comes in, like nothing about
- 35:43Speaker 1: this year and this team and that they are a
- 35:45Speaker 1: complete team, credit to that, sure, but the concern level
- 35:49Speaker 1: is the bad juju, not the team they are. And
- 35:51Speaker 1: so that then that loops me back to the not
- 35:54Speaker 1: concerned level of well, if I'm if I'm worried about,
- 35:56Speaker 1: if I'm only worried about because the last couple of years,
- 35:59Speaker 1: some weird things have and and we lose to you, guys,
- 36:01Speaker 1: Then I'm actually not worried about you. If I'm not
- 36:03Speaker 1: scared of your complete team. If I'm not scared of
- 36:06Speaker 1: your complete team, I'm worried about the past and bad juju.
- 36:09Speaker 1: Screw your complete team concern. I mean, this is the
- 36:14Speaker 1: ultimate Homer optimism, of course, guys, but it's true. But
- 36:19Speaker 1: it's true. Like if you are a diehard Mafia fan,
- 36:22Speaker 1: you have to be with us right now, like you,
- 36:26Speaker 1: I respect those teams. I respect those teams, but you can't.
- 36:30Speaker 1: You can't look me in the eye and say, oh,
- 36:32Speaker 1: I'm a Bills fan, I love Josh Allen and be
- 36:35Speaker 1: like I'm oh, I'm shaking in my boots about any
- 36:38Speaker 1: of these teams.
- 36:39Speaker 2: Right.
- 36:39Speaker 1: So that's why I do sound like a Homer. But
- 36:42Speaker 1: like I'm giving you reasons why, that's legit reason why
- 36:45Speaker 1: I'm not concerned because I'm concerned about like the bad juju,
- 36:50Speaker 1: I'm not concerned about the complete team right in front
- 36:52Speaker 1: of me.
- 36:52Speaker 2: So actually I'm not particular. Let's keep going.
- 36:57Speaker 3: Then, I like the that you're in right now because
- 37:00Speaker 3: you're giving specific analysis on each potential opponent I'm not. Yeah,
- 37:05Speaker 3: we talked about Denver, we talked about New England at
- 37:08Speaker 3: the two seed. Currently, we talked about Jacksonville just now. Obviously,
- 37:11Speaker 3: as DT eloquently just laid out Pittsburgh, I'll speak for
- 37:15Speaker 3: you and we'll move on. They're in the four seed
- 37:17Speaker 3: if they win that fucking division. As I've told all
- 37:19Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh fans that I have to deal with on Twitter,
- 37:22Speaker 3: fuck y'all. Y'all are garbage. And I promise you whatever
- 37:26Speaker 3: happened a couple of weeks ago will happen again. I
- 37:28Speaker 3: don't know if it will happen the same way. I
- 37:30Speaker 3: don't know if it will be you know, James Cook
- 37:32Speaker 3: tearing y'all up, and I pick this. This something will happen.
- 37:36Speaker 3: So and y'all, y'all keep Rogers. If you want them
- 37:39Speaker 3: another year, I don't.
- 37:40Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 37:40Speaker 3: Just let him retire. But if you want him another
- 37:42Speaker 3: year of no problem. Five seed DT Chargers. They're always
- 37:47Speaker 3: interesting because you know, I'm a Michigan man, so I
- 37:50Speaker 3: love like, I love our ball like.
- 37:51Speaker 2: And I think that he's a culture center. He's been
- 37:53Speaker 2: everywhere he's been.
- 37:55Speaker 3: And this team, this team shouldn't even be here because
- 37:59Speaker 3: they have no so I could have score that like
- 38:02Speaker 3: after quarterback left tackle, it was defensive ends to go
- 38:07Speaker 3: get the quarterback. I thought that was like the most
- 38:08Speaker 3: important thing. And somehow they find a way. They have
- 38:11Speaker 3: the same record as us. They they've lost four games
- 38:14Speaker 3: this year DT with no tackles. I don't know when
- 38:17Speaker 3: you would see them based on seatings, but it could
- 38:20Speaker 3: be obviously with some upsets if they if they stay
- 38:22Speaker 3: in the five and they upset Pitt, if you stay
- 38:24Speaker 3: in the six and upset Jacksonville, you know, or something
- 38:28Speaker 3: else happens with Houston at the seventh seed, you could see,
- 38:32Speaker 3: you could see the charges at some point period.
- 38:35Speaker 1: You can't gimmick. You can't gimmick the NFL. Rob and
- 38:38Speaker 1: credit to the Chargers are good. Justin Herbert is a
- 38:40Speaker 1: good quarterback. He hasn't shined in the right moments, but
- 38:43Speaker 1: he is a good player. I agree, Harbon knows how
- 38:45Speaker 1: to win. I agree, but you can't gimmick the NFL.
- 38:50Speaker 1: And without tackles, you got no chance. And you see
- 38:52Speaker 1: it in the super Bowl every year.
- 38:53Speaker 2: Wha if they're playing the Bills. Do we have a
- 38:59Speaker 2: past rush? Have we had one all year?
- 39:05Speaker 3: I've never been the way that he did last week.
- 39:09Speaker 3: I never what was it, three and a half sacks.
- 39:11Speaker 3: I've never really seen play that way.
- 39:13Speaker 1: Have you sure?
- 39:14Speaker 2: Maybe? Okay, that's a good point, but then he just
- 39:20Speaker 2: fizzled a threat.
- 39:22Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there is the threat of like, they
- 39:26Speaker 1: don't have tackles, so I don't like, I don't respect
- 39:29Speaker 1: him seriously. I guess that's not central to the Bills.
- 39:32Speaker 1: So that's a good point, Rob, I'm gonna have to
- 39:34Speaker 1: think on that one. Yeah, that would be makes me
- 39:39Speaker 1: a little more.
- 39:40Speaker 3: That's if that's a weakness that should be exposed by
- 39:43Speaker 3: great pass rushes.
- 39:45Speaker 2: We don't have that.
- 39:46Speaker 1: I also yeah, true also, but yeah, no, no, no.
- 39:50Speaker 2: We may not play.
- 39:50Speaker 3: Okay, no problem, we'll move on. We're the six seed.
- 39:53Speaker 3: You've got Houston. India is holding on by a thread.
- 39:56Speaker 3: If if Houston takes care of business, India is done.
- 39:59Speaker 3: So you can a kind of count them out. And
- 40:01Speaker 3: then for Baltimore, they've got to win out and then
- 40:03Speaker 3: hope that Pittsburgh, uh, you know, loses and like I said, Picksburgh,
- 40:07Speaker 3: we already know. Yeah, I don't know. I think that
- 40:10Speaker 3: they're making I think that they're gonna win the North.
- 40:12Speaker 3: I think that Lamar those guys are gonna are gonna
- 40:14Speaker 3: lose out and then if there's any riffs within that building,
- 40:17Speaker 3: it'll all come out in the end. But they do
- 40:19Speaker 3: play Week eighteen, and it potentially could be for the
- 40:22Speaker 3: division if the Steelers take care of business.
- 40:24Speaker 1: If Lamar Lamar is probably out this week and.
- 40:28Speaker 3: He is out, well, I don't know, but he sounds
- 40:31Speaker 3: like he's going to be out by yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 40:35Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 40:35Speaker 1: And the Steelers. Steelers got the Brons.
- 40:38Speaker 3: Correct, they sure do this week, So we'll see, you know,
- 40:42Speaker 3: as we begin to finish up. You know, I I
- 40:44Speaker 3: I do appreciate you know your candor. DT is just
- 40:48Speaker 3: when I look at the conference, it's not about necessarily
- 40:51Speaker 3: because I don't think that we should be scared of anyone.
- 40:53Speaker 2: I do think that we could lose any of those teams.
- 40:55Speaker 3: Now, it would be a harder way to come up
- 40:58Speaker 3: with it in my head, to lose to the steel
- 41:00Speaker 3: I really can't in my head envision it.
- 41:02Speaker 2: I don't know how.
- 41:03Speaker 3: And then when we met on the field a couple
- 41:04Speaker 3: weeks ago, it only reinforced what I thought about Rogers
- 41:08Speaker 3: being old and stuff like that. All of those other
- 41:11Speaker 3: teams DT. I just feel like we are in a
- 41:14Speaker 3: situation where it's time. It's the reason I named the
- 41:17Speaker 3: episode the way that I did. It's time to move.
- 41:20Speaker 3: And I know that we talked about a little bit
- 41:22Speaker 3: last week DT about how this narrative and it's being
- 41:25Speaker 3: pushed again this week.
- 41:26Speaker 2: It's the same narrative. Josh has got to make it.
- 41:28Speaker 3: It's a failure if he doesn't make it this year
- 41:30Speaker 3: because of all the quarterbacks that are missing it. I
- 41:33Speaker 3: liked I listened back to last week's episode, listen to
- 41:35Speaker 3: your take, and I didn't feel like I pushed back enough.
- 41:39Speaker 3: I wanted to say just that I can understand that
- 41:42Speaker 3: he has more tries. I do think that it is
- 41:46Speaker 3: it is kind of a you know, this is a
- 41:51Speaker 3: really good year to make it that and that admits
- 41:55Speaker 3: and that is full you know, ten hands up, you know,
- 41:58Speaker 3: two hands, Like we've got problems on defense, and we
- 42:02Speaker 3: have injuries, and and the and the wide receivers are
- 42:05Speaker 3: ship and I talk about and argue with people on
- 42:07Speaker 3: Twitter about that all of the time. But with the
- 42:10Speaker 3: run game so good and the offensive line is so
- 42:14Speaker 3: good and Josh Allen is superman, I feel like if like,
- 42:19Speaker 3: if you get to the super like, I'll back off,
- 42:20Speaker 3: like I'll stop talking about McDermott, you know what I mean,
- 42:22Speaker 3: Like just like if you just get there with this
- 42:24Speaker 3: kind of group with the quarterbacks missing DT, it'll be
- 42:29Speaker 3: a lot of credit.
- 42:30Speaker 2: Yes, you might have got there in a cheap way.
- 42:32Speaker 2: Some people will say.
- 42:33Speaker 3: Because the quarterbacks went in there, I'll give McDermott full
- 42:35Speaker 3: marks because of what he's dealing with.
- 42:39Speaker 1: It means even more I can see And yeah, I
- 42:42Speaker 1: mean I I have to. I have to listen to
- 42:44Speaker 1: that and and somewhat come around to that of like
- 42:47Speaker 1: last you know, I'm hammering on last week, like you
- 42:50Speaker 1: can't be critical of LUSS just because we're in, you know,
- 42:52Speaker 1: and and just you're out. That's on you, that's not
- 42:54Speaker 1: on us.
- 42:55Speaker 2: We're in. It wasn't quite my point, you know. My
- 42:57Speaker 2: point was that they're not there at the party.
- 42:59Speaker 1: No, I get, but I I can't say that. And
- 43:02Speaker 1: then also you know, say, you know, I'm not concerned
- 43:05Speaker 1: about about the AFC and getting through this with all
- 43:08Speaker 1: these flaws in our team. Of course I'm a little concerned.
- 43:11Speaker 1: But then I tonight I go off and say how
- 43:13Speaker 1: I'm not concerned about all these teams, Like, so I
- 43:16Speaker 1: need to, you know, come around to that a little
- 43:18Speaker 1: bit of like, yeah, you gotta do it now, you
- 43:21Speaker 1: know this year if I'm not concerned about the teams
- 43:23Speaker 1: and none of those other boys are in there, like
- 43:26Speaker 1: I I have to agree that, like.
- 43:29Speaker 3: You have to do it this year and and then
- 43:32Speaker 3: and it's not you know or else and that I
- 43:35Speaker 3: think that's what the shouty shows. That's what they get
- 43:37Speaker 3: paid for, is just Super Bowl or but like, of
- 43:40Speaker 3: course what's not or bust because he's still our quarterback.
- 43:43Speaker 3: We still got our left tackle. We still you know,
- 43:45Speaker 3: Yetta gotta gotta still got Jimbo. But you know, things
- 43:49Speaker 3: will change, and they change every year, and we know
- 43:51Speaker 3: that here at Nicol City Crew.
- 43:53Speaker 2: We appreciate it.
- 43:54Speaker 3: Listen, tonight, we'll do a quick advance because this is
- 43:57Speaker 3: our last episode of twenty twenty five. The Nicol City
