• 3:53
  Speaker 2: a few weeks here and I'm back and I'm stoked
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and manic. Last week going into Baltimore, I was excited,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: but maybe not in a as confident a way. You know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: that was a scary matchup for us. But man, I
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: feel good, not locked, but good, confident, good like not
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: stressing about this one on Sunday night. So man, happy
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: to be here to talk to those football Good to
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: see you guys, just staying off the air. How good
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: you guys look, you know, for for you guys, you know,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: we only all get so good. Butt looks like you're
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: combed up and stuff. Man, you got what's going on there?
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: Got that fresh cut, got that fresh cut. We're trying
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: to keep it a little more a little more root coperate,
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: not as much. Just go till it looks like dog shit.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: Just set it up every every three weeks. Hit my boy,
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: right up on on hurdle lab, right up the street,
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: tom My boy, Tommy it good, looks barber and nice.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: It tightens me.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I'm nice.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: So thanks, guys.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Look good.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, y'all looking fresh, y'all looking good. I like that.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: I like that.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: It's funny because before we go forward to this.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Week, and obviously that's the the you know, the reason
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: that we're having this episode is just to talk about
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: this AFC Championship game that the Bills will battle their rivals,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Let's look back quickly, Fellas.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: And it's funny that you talked about that, Scott, because
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: DT can attest to it. And if you listened to
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: last week's episode, I was a nervous wreck. And part
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: of the reason was because of the opponent. Part of
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: the reason was because of the stakes that were at
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: hand and not wanting to hit our heads on that
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: proverbial ceiling, so to speak. You know, we had lost
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: in that division a round last three years and I
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: wanted to get through. Not that I'm satisfied then that
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: a loss on Sunday is going to make it all okay.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: But I was just nervous about the matchup. I thought
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: it wasn't a good matchup for us, and I couldn't
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: be more one to eighty from this week. Like I am,
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: I am just.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Like you, Scott.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: I'm actually probably a little bit further along than you.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: I said it on Bill's Thoughts of the Week early
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: this week. Shout out to Olivia Enego, our actual creative director,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: who got my thoughts out there. I'm confident I think
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: the Bills are better than this team, fellas I do.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I've looked at this team up and down. I've gotten
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: a chance to look at some stats and different things
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: like that, and we all know that they'll all get
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: thrown out of the window on Sunday at six thirty.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Like DT said, but I mean, this team scored thirty
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: points twice this year. I just I'm not afraid of
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: their offense. I understand that they've got, you know, the Boogeyman,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: but he's not the boogey Man to me anymore. I'm
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: not scared. There's no monsters in my closet. I don't
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: know DT speak to it. How's your confidence level this week?
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Because mineus one. I'm one hundred and eighty degrees from
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: where I was last week.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: I feel good about this game. I think we're gonna win.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Confident, but confident to go to work. You know.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Like the narrative last week was this is the big game,
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: this is the matchup, this team's a lot more high power.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: Whatever the case is, the winner of this game probably
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: gonna win the next week against Kansas City. And I
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: was really never about that narrative. I was kind of
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: pushing it away because I was so focused on the
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: game last week, and then it happened and there was
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: still kind of that narrative, and I was like, I
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: don't think I'm about that where it's just like we
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: just automatically win this game. If history has told us anything,
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: it's gonna take a darn near perfect game. Even if
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: the Chiefs are not who they once were, and we
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: might be better than in all facets, it's gonna take
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: a darn near perfect game to take come down at
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: home on Sunday night, you know, because they know how
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: to do it and we don't, right and until we do,
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: we don't. So I am confident. I do think we're
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: the better team, and I think we can go out
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: and get this dub and we will see you know,
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: Josh Allen and the Bills be represented at the AFC
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: in the super Bowl. But it's confident to go to work,
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: you know, Like I'm confident I can do the work
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: I need to do this week to be.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Prepared for Sunday. And that's where I'm confident in.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: I don't know if I'm you know, confident that we're
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: going to go in and blow this team out or
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: go in and win easily, and it's just no sweat.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: I'm confident in this team that they went in knowing
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: they had to do the work and be perfect Sunday
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: to win, and I'm confident in that.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Scott.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: It's funny because when you just, you know, talk about
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: some of your feelings, I had to echo them because
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: that's exactly how I felt all this week leading up
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: into this game. Where does your confidence level come from?
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Is it the matchup? Is it the opponent? What is
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: it about this week's matchup? In Arrowhead Chiefs Kingdom? All
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: of the things should say that the Bills fans and
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Bill's bafia and Nicol City crew should be nervous as hell.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I know a lot of Bill's Mafia that is not
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: nervous like yourself. What is it about this matchup that
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: that leads that leads you to this kind of confidence
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: level that you have.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Our offense is so balanced and there are so many
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: ways we can be productive on offense. I'm old school,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I'm just old, but I'm a firm believer that you
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: have to have a solid run game you can count
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: on when you're in the playoffs. And I'm not saying
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: we should be run first. That's a different thing. Right now.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: They have got to respect a triple threat out of
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: our running back room and even just the run game.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: It's that those guys are active in the past game,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: particularly Tyd Johnson. But then who do who do you
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: focus you know McDuffie on for past catchers and route runners.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: We've got numerous guys who can work open or make
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: something happen. So and then Josh is just playing the
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: best cleanest ball we've seen it play. So as long
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: as we don't have one of those just bizarre games
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: where we just like the Bengals Division game at home
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: was like what what team is it?
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Weird watching.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: You know, as long as we don't have that, I'm
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: confident will be fine. I love how DT put. I'm
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: ready to see us go to work because this is
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: not like a slam dunk confidence Like there's no way
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: we can lose this. There's just no need, like you said,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: to be afraid that. You know, I got two things
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: I have concerns over. Besides obviously just Pat Mahomes is
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: just awesome, and you just he's just awesome, and playoff
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes is another level of awesome. But I'm most
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: concerned about Kelsey and then Chris Jones. You know, we've
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: got to make sure that we keep Kelsey under control,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: which is I think a simpler task than what we
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: had to deal with last week with Lamar and Derrick Henry.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Now Chris Jones is going to get his, but man
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: our O line is the best. Oh my god, it's
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: so good. I just I'm not frightened of him anymore.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Like he'll get his, he'll get pressures, but Josh knows
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: how to deal with that. He's one of the best
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: against the blitz or under pressure. So you know, I
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: think we'll game plan. I think we'll be we'll be
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: confident as a team. A lot of the guys who
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: went through all that are gone, you know, we got
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: a whole new slate of people, and the guys that
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: are still there have learned. So I feel good. But
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: but I'm with DT. We you have to go do
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: it now. You've got to play your best game of
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: the year. But I feel like this could be a
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: two score win. I feel like this could be anywhere
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: from from you know, nine till nine to fourteen points.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: You know, I feel like a you know, thirty one
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: twenty one kind of a thing is certainly possible. But
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: then you know, playoff Patrick and playoff read is awful
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: hard to get fully comfy, you know. Again, So I'm excited.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm excited.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I understand.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: It's funny because you had talked about something that last
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: I think was the last time that you're on Scott
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: And it's funny because I thought about it last week,
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: and I thought about you when I was watching that game.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: So before we go forward to the AFC Championship game,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: let's chop it up quickly, Fellas to get your thoughts
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: on last week the last Bill's home game of the
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty four season was last week at the Ralph.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: What an awesome night fits leads everything off. DT talked
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: about it all the nicholsony Crue tailgate reported and I
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: watched the video. It was just, you know, I didn't
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: get emotional and getting ready to cry, DT, but it
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: was I understood what you were talking about with the
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: emotion just because just fits and his energy in the
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: way that he brings it.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: So he starts it off and then the night goes
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: and it was funny.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: I thought about you, Scott, because what did you say
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: a couple weeks ago when you were back on You
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: said you have to sprinkle in a little bit of luck.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: And I always say that because the balls oblong, it
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: bounces a certain way. It's not basketball where it bounces
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: right up and down. It's not even soccer. You've got
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: to get a little bit lucky to win a championship
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: in one of those years. And you think back two
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: years past and even the greatest comeback in Bill's history,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: that was also the greatest come back in NFL history
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: up until a couple of years ago with that one comeback,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: and I think that was Indie or somebody like that.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Jacksonville had if somebody had. But until they took that mantle,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: don Bbe stepped out of bounce, you know, and the
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: rest of you know, you gotta get a little lucky. Boy,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: were the Bills a little bit lucky? And I'm not
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: apologizing to anybody DT for that luck. I understand Mark
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Andrews is an all world tied end. I understand that
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: he makes those catches and different things like that.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: But that fumble by Tero Binard.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: We talked about that on the show DT and how
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: how timely of a play that was and then his
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: drop at the goal line. DT, you need a little
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: bit of luck sprinkled in the twenty twenty four Bills.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: If we win the Super Bowl in a few weeks,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: you'll go spot Yeah, you'll go back to those plays
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: like damn. And that was some lucky shit. But we
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: needed it. We needed everything to go right.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: And I mean the actual drop on the two point conversion,
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: and what about the three turnovers. You know, a team
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: that doesn't turn the ball over, Lamar Jackson, it doesn't
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: turn the ball over. They turned the ball over three times.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not considering our credit to our defense
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: for forcing them or whatever the case. But you know,
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: if if you weren't expecting those, that's a little lucky too.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: I will say that this week. You know, I'm not
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: about the like I could give a shit about the
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: narrative about what it like. The Ravens lost it, the
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: Bills didn't win it. I don't care. We won the game.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: We're playing with championship. I could care less, but I
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: will say, you know, for the final time on this
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: we earned the win. I mean, there was a situation
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: where coming out of halftime we could go up. We
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: could have went up eighteen points after the Andrews humble,
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: we could have went down and been up twelve points
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: with three minutes left.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: There was a lot of.
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: Opportunity to go to blow the doors off this game
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: and get a double digit victory at home and kind
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: of ease into the end of it. They made credit
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: to the Ravens. They fought in, they kept it close,
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: and you know, we knew it was gonna be a battle,
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: and it came down to I said it last week,
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: a game of inches, a game of yard. He catches
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: it one more inch in, he drops it one more
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: inch out, And it literally came down to a game
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: of inches and who was going to be the dogs
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: last week, and the Bills were the dogs. They forced
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: the turnovers they needed and that was the difference in
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: the game. Could they have finished a few drives and
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: made it a little easier on us, Yes, but they
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: did what they needed to do to win the game.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: And we talked all year how the Chiefs didn't look great,
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: but they're sixteen to two. You know, they win these
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: game because they're good teams and they find ways to win.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: It's situational. We won the situation. It wasn't We weren't
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: the better team and went out there and just scored
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: more points because we were bigger, faster, stronger. We won situationally.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: And that middle twelve, you know, the last six minutes
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: of the first half of the first half, in the
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: first six minutes of the second half, granted we came
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: out and punched it, but that last six minutes of
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: the first half was clinical. And we've been good at
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: that all year. And that's what it takes to win
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: these games down the stretch, to beat these good teams,
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: you have to win situationally. And you know, I think
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: we deserved every part of that win. I again, I
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: could give a shit about the narrative. But it did
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: take a little luck, and we forced our own luck
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: as well, you know, and we never know what that
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: what would have happened with one thirty three.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Left on the clocket.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: Glad we didn't have to find out, but you know,
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: survive in advance, Scott.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: You know, I was just interacting with one of our
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: listeners right there, so shout out to Sarah Christine because
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: she was like, well, you know just what DT said
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: when we had time to come, you know, one thirty
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: three left, that type of thing, And I agree, you know,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: that's what I was telling Nate win that ball, excuse me,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: prior to the two point conversion attempt, Scott, that was
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: it was close though. DT's right, We had a chance
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: to blow the doors off, but we didn't, and because
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: of that, that game kind of got tight towards the end.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: And you do see, you need a little bit of
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: luck that type of thing.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know what would have happened, but we don't
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: know a lot of things about you know what the
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: what if game? You can always play that that that
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: game was was an instant classic, and even Lamar fumbling
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: off that tomorrow Hamlin hanging on his ankle. I mean,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: that was it was. It was pretty sweet. I don't
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: I don't apologize for any of it.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: I really don't.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: I think you know, in the regular season, you steal one,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: you might feel an easy bit bad. But in the playoffs,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: it's winning advance. And we've been on the other side
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: of those games enough times that like, I feel bad
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: for Ravens fans because I know how they feel, But
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: I would never apologize for a win. We got the
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: job done and that's the end of the day.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: My thing I was. I wanted to see our defense
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: come out and play a different style against a guy
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: who's given us trouble over the years. We held him
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: once when he was in Tennessee on an Okay game.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: You know, we kept him under a hundred. My goal
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: was like, hey, one hundred yards and a tuddy. If
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: we could do that with with you know, twenty two,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: that's a win all day long. And it ended up
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: the defense did it, and they did it by changing
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: the way they played. You know, they played the most
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: man they've played in a couple hundred years. Right. They
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: also got into their three linebacker set, so that made
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: me feel good. Like that, like, like you said, DTS
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: situational football. You know, the defensive coaching staff had a
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: game plan, they adjusted, they got out of their comfort zone,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: and we shut down the two headed monster enough to win.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: And you know we also didn't Sometimes you know, it
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: feels like coach McDermott likes to get like super concerned,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: servative and just you know, play not to lose, and
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: it felt that way. But the two drives in the
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: third quarter weren't us rolling up into a blankey and
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: holding on. They were execution issues. You know, Josh missed,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: a missed an open guy and so forth. So you know,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: it's not like we tried the old Bill's way where
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: we're like, well, just trying not to mess us up.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: You know that that wasn't it. Man, foot was still
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: on the gas. But but we don't need to be
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: thirty yards downfield thirty yards every time that you know that,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: we have a different foot on the gas. And it's
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: called run and pass and I love it. So I'm
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: happy to see that we didn't roll up in a ball.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: You know, some hope in that, you know, on that
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: side of things, because that's been a knock is you know,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: coach McDermott and his decision making and kind of rolling
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: into a ball. And we've seen it a few times
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: this season now where he's done the exact opposite of that,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: So that gives me. That's another reason I feel confident
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: going into Sunday. Just don't think we're going to see
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: ghosts and relive. You know, we're just not going to
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: do it. I just don't see us doing it this time.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: I don't see us as we begin to transition to
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: this matchup tonight. We really appreciate the listeners, a bunch
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: of you guys shouting us out on IG I see y'all, man,
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: I love you guys for sure. What's good? Zach was good?
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: My cousin Greg was good? Andy, what's that? I see you, Lenny.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: We appreciate you guys, and again the Twitter people out
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: there as well, Sarah Christine, we really appreciate you guys.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Listen as we transition over almost seven hundred people watching
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: us already, so we really appreciate the support. DT Scott
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: is time to break out the knife before and let's
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: dig into the meat and potatoes. The Buffalo Bills will
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: win this game on Sunday night if the bills offense,
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: does what go first? DT or our resident co host
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: holla at the crew, we will win this game if
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: what happens on offense, and I'll give my takes at the.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: End, well blatantly score thirty one points. I think thirty
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: I think thirty one wins.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: That's the magic number, you know.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: I think it's going to be a battle, you know,
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: and and nothing's gonna come easy. I think thirty one
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: wins it. They're too good of a team to let
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: you get higher than that, I think, And you know,
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: and I think we're good a good enough team to
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: keep him under that. So, you know, with the way
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: we've been kind of working the clock the past couple
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: of weeks, the way we've been working the possessions, I
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: think has been you know, definitely favorable. You control the game,
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: you control the flow, you control the tempo. You know,
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: things start to flow your way. So I think offensively,
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: you know, nothing nothing different. This is this is I
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: think defense. We might have to, you know, pull some
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: rabbits out of the hat and make some things happen.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: But are you are you a proponent of last week's strategy,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: basically of ball control.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think under and it doesn't. And but not
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: playing scared, you know, And Scott had a great point.
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: I heard that a lot this week of people being
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: like all typical bills coming out in the third, you know,
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: in the third and and not in shelling up. But
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: that wasn't the case. They just didn't execute. They were
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: trying to get six, They were trying to go up
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: eighteen and they used to absolutely and the Ravens D
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: is pretty damn good, right, So I think offensively it
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: has to be the same type of thing. Controlling the ball.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: We are not abandoning the run. We never have all season.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: The run has been working, that offensive line has been playing,
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: you know, outstanding. But you gotta you gotta count for
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: ninety five, you really do. And and we talked about,
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: yes they got stars and those are game breakers.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Last year in the divisional.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: Round, if Dean Dawkins does get blown back into Josh
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: Allen he makes that throw to Khalil Shakira at the
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: back of the end zone, we must be having a
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: whole different conversation, right, So you know, these guys are
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: gonna make plays. And and Spagnola credit to him of
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: being one of the best to do it. What different
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: types of looks, you know, and trying to trying to
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: confuse seventeen. So keep to the game plan offensively, I
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: think we're we're so well rounded right now, especially with
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: the offensive line playing well, everybody stepping up, the run game,
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: stepping up, our third string running back catching dimes all year.
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: Keep it, keep it to the game plan, keep it simple.
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: It's cliche to say I don't have a lot of
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: hot takes on this offense. I don't think there needs
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: to be much that needs to happen. Differently, if it
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: comes down to seventeen having to go into Superman or
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: God Motor or whatever you want to call it, he's
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: capable and he's chopping at the bit.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Hey, we know he'll put on the cake.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, who wouldn't be wanting that? And he wants it
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: the most, you know, to go out there and game
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: on the line. I gotta get this yard. Seventeen is
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: going to get that yard. So get to thirty one.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: Keep it simple, do what you've been doing all year,
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: and I think we come out easily on the offensivet.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Mister Fry, the Buffalo Bills will win on Sunday night,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: six thirty In Chiefs Kingdom.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: If the offense does what what do they have to
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: do to win this game?
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Stake free football needs to continue. They will they will
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: punish us if we turn the ball over. So I
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: know that's again if you want to say, cliched or silly,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: but it's a fact, especially in the playoffs, especially against
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Reedha ma home. So protect the football like we've been doing.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: And that's that's been amazing this year, Just amazing how
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: well they've done with that.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: They's got eight turnovers, eight turnovers already five takeaways, the
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: highest margin in the league.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, including the playoffs. That's great.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Keep doing that, Keep doing that. That's fine. I like
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: kind of what you know, I want to echo what
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: DT said, you know, mix it up. Keep our identity.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: And the cool thing about our identity is I don't
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: really know what the hell it is used to be.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: You know, we got to get digs involved, got to
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: get digs involved. There For a while, it was it's
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: got to be number four, Cook's got to be you know.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Now it's like, you know, if something isn't working, like
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: we only gained like fifty yards on the ground in
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: November against them. They did a nice job shutting down
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: the runs, so we had to go a little more aerial.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: And that's what I like about our offense is we
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: can adjust and at the end of the day, in
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: case of emergency, break glass, get the cape out. And
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: that's exactly how we took it home last time. So
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: I feel good about that. So for me, it's mistake
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: free football. I'm not opposed to, you know, it's it's
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: really hard for Mahomes and company to do your thing
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: if they're sitting there watching our offense eight minute drive,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: nine minute drive, ten minute drive. I don't have a
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: problem with that, but we may not be able to
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: do it as effectively on the ground this time. But
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: statistically the KC defense has not done as well in
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: the last five six games since the Bill's game on
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: run defense. So I don't know if that you know,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: what that was coasting end because they're in the first
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: you know, seed position or what that is. But I'm
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: kind of anxious to see, you know, if, if, if
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: we can make the run happen, you know, better than
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: the last time.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting because when I thought about it and
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: I looked at the house, said well, what do I
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: need from the offense, you know, and and and sometimes
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: I want to get greedy, And I was like, well,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: I want Josh Allen to you know what I mean,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: I wanted to not necessarily stats, but I'm like, I
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: want him to have the cape on from the opening
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: kickoff and things like that. But one of the things
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: that you just kind of spoke to it, Scott and
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: DT as well, is that maybe we don't have to
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: change too much about ourselves because when you start acting
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: out of character, that's when mistakes do happen. So whatever,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Joe Brady, all the different keys that he's playing with
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: this team and the offense, it seems to be working.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: He's got the pulse of the team. So I actually,
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: you have to step and I took a step back,
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: and I said, I'm just gonna have to just trust
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Joe Brady an seventeen. I have supreme confidence in seventeen
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: to do the right thing. Joe Brady has won me
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: over throughout this year. I still don't necessarily believe it.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Everybody eats, but I shit, we're on the custom of
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, so I really I have to start.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: I have to eventually shut the buck up about that.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: So listen, I believe that it's up to Josh Allen
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: to be situationally just smart, Just know the pulse, understand
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: what's going on in the game. If you know, if
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: they need you to run something on a fourth and
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: short or a third and short, or you think that
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: you don't have the look that you want, absolutely fellas,
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: don't force it. Just run it and figure out a
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: way to get five yards and maybe we go forward
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: in a fourth and three depending on the field position.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: I just don't want to.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: See Josh press, I think, is the best way for
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: me to say it.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: It's not that I don't trust him.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: It's not that he's actually shown to be that type
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: of guy this year, because he's actually been the exact opposite.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: The lights will not be any brighter than this. The
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: super Bowl obviously is the brightest of stages. But that's
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: a whole different conversation for another day. For this game,
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: you're trying to slay the dragon. You're trying to get
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: over that bugaboo that has always had your number. I
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: see these stats all the time about oh and three,
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: and if Josh Allen goes to oh and four, there's
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: all these different matchups.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: It's Ken Stabler.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Versus Bradshaw, it's Steve Young versus Brett Fires, all these
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: different matchups that they had at least four matchups, and
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: now Josh Allen Mahomes will get together for the fourth time.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: I don't want to be a part of that wrong
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: side of history. And I also don't want Josh to
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: give a ship about either way. I want him to
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: just play loose, play free, and come into this game
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: really just with a clear head. Because of the fact
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: that sometimes the pressure can get to players, it seems
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: like Josh Allen is impervious to it. It seems like
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: he has kind of turned that corner where we don't
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: have to worry.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: About Sugar High.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: Joh It's a long ways away from Sugar High, Josh,
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: right long way away. Nobody he said that, what do
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: he said? The good Angel told me not to that ships.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Hilarious look on his face when he said no, I
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: was dying.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: In because he was like I looked, I saw how
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: har he was, and then I saw somebody to the
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: right of me.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: And I was like, no, this is not a good decision.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: And I was like, thank you, Josh for not fucking
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: up that game.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: Longevity is consistency. I mean, you look at the dynasty
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: and the Patriots and the offense of the Patriots and
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: Tom Brady, you know what's good and you had to
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: account for him. But they were never you know, it
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: wasn't the twenty twenty Bills, right, It wasn't the twenty
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: twenty one Bills where they were just lay up, lay up,
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: lay up, all the way down the field.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: But they were winning championships. I watched the AFC Championship.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: The twenty twenty Bills Chiefs last night on the NFL network,
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: and Bills come out, start crat, get a muff punt,
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: get a muff punk get up nine zero, and then
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: they go three and out. And what are the Chiefs do?
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: They just drive down the field, they score a touchdown,
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: Bills go three and out.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: What are the Chiefs do? Drive down the field, score touchdown?
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Bills out? What are the Chiefs do?
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: Drive down the field, score touchdown? Close to getting the
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: doors blowing off us? And that's it is. So I
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: think we've taking the step to that level, right to
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: that level of like you know, obviously don't have the accolades.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying any of that, just that level of
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: consistency and calmness of longevity is consistency and the consistency
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: of just we're fine, We're one of the best offenses ever. Well,
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: they score the most points ever in team history. Just
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: go out, trust the players do the thing, and that's
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: you know, it doesn't have to be flashy. It doesn't
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: have to be the layups. It doesn't have to be
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: you know, Josh known for four hundred and fifty yards.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: It just has to be situationally. We need six, go
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: get six. Six is non negotiable. I missed that in
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: my offensive takedown. What do I say this this week?
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: Six is non negotiable. That's my model for the offense
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: this week.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd like to add one thing on offense, and
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: this is just me personal preference. Sultan Pepper time here.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: I would love to see eighteen get a tuddy or
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: two and have him kind of at least start off
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: the night is our feature wide out. That would be
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: fun for me, because man, this is a special run
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: for him. He's so understated. There's a couple of interesting
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: interviews this week with him.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: Where you're going, Yeah.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Just talking about, Hey, you know, I got a couple
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: of catches here and there, whatever, not a big deal.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: I'm just happy like this this is really special to him.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Talking about the team and now the team when it's
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: all that matters, it's all that matters.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: So from just a feel good like if if we
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: could get a Mari you know, six seven catches get
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: over the sentry mark and a touchdown or two man,
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: that would be freaking awesome. That would that would just
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: make my my heart sing. So but but we don't that.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: The cool thing about this offense is we don't have
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: to have that guy do that thing or we're screwed.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: You know. It's it's not like that. And so that's
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: why I have a level of confidence especial where the
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: offense is.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: And I still feel like we got ship under the hood.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Like you said, you said.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: That phrase now and it's been about a month now
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: that you what do you mean by that?
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: Please you look down the box score last week you
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: got like five six guys with one catch and it's like,
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: all right, well, what happens when the game comes and
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: they have the they have eight you know, like and
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: they have like and any of them are capable like
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: we saw Curtis Samuel in the wildcard game have a
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: have a great touchdown and like it's just I just
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: feel like it there's so much more that could happen.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: You know, like what if instead of all those guys
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: having one catch, what if three of them had four?
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: You know, and like shit, like we got four guys
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: over one hundred yards like something wild, Like do.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: You think there's still more? There's more to attain for
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: this offense?
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: Yes, and and it I don't think they's I think
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: they're just everything has been working. They haven't got to
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: a point where it's like, man, this isn't working. Like
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: this guy gets a little, this guy gets little, will
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: run the ball, will run the ball, just take care
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: of it.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: We're all good.
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: And I just feel like, yeah, not that we're saving it,
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: but I just think we haven't like not saying the
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: trick plays or anything like that, but I just think
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: we can expand. Like on that box score, a bunch
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: of guys with one catch could easily do a bunch
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: of guys with eight catches, and then we're, oh shit,
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: like Bills just put up four hundred Joshua for four
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: hundred and five touchdowns and everybody on the team scored,
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: Like that's possible.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: What if the Rams are Detroit game offense shows up, man,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that could be a thing. Yeah, so yeah, interesting,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: I like.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I like where y'all had it.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, I just I know DT has said that
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: he said that under the hood thing maybe for like
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: the last month. The last time you were on, he
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: talked about that as well, Scott, So I was just
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: interested that I wanted to hear him elaborate. So that's
• 30:31

• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Now as we transition Fellas, Scott, you had mentioned something
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: earlier and I wanted to hear you expand on it.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: The Buffalo Bills defense will stop Kansas City? Why on Sunday?
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Because DT says I just need thirty points or less.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: I've got a different take. Talk to Scott about how
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: why the defense can impact because one of the things
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: that I've always been worried about is the fact that
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: this desive line in the biggest moments comes up.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Really really poqito, really small.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: D T and I sat next to each other last
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: year and just in amazement that this defensive line could
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: not affect mahomes at all, and it was a long
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: day for us and it was really it was really
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: low key a blowout. We were one Jordan Poyer fumble
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: at the goal line away from getting our asses blown out,
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: and DT and I would have headed to the car
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: early possibly talk to me about what this defense can
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: do to affect fifteen.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: To me, he's not the Boogeyman anymore, but.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: He is still he's etched in stone, his legacy is
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: is cemented.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: He's in it's playoff. Patrick and I got all that respect,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: all the respect in the world for that guy. I'm
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: excited because we got guys back that we didn't have
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: in November, and I think that makes a difference. And
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: I'm not big on, you know, crying over injuries. They're real.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: They're the guys that are out that are injured are
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: starters for reasons. So it's a real thing when your
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: starters go down.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Just so you know, McDermott today officially ruled out Taylor
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: Rap Taylor Cole Bishop will start in his place.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Interesting side thing about him when he got drafted Dalton
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: and Kaid Cole Bishop Dalton k and Kaid was is
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: on the record as talking about how good he was
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: covering tight ends.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: That's what he said, so that's interesting in practice.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Then you go rookie on Travis Kelsey and Noah Gray
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: is no bs. Now that dude banged us up for
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: two teddies on in the Game of November. So we
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: got to cover the tight ends obviously. But man, we've
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: got Dorian Williams back there. We've got Matt Mulanos going
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: side to side like he's playing like he's twenty two
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: years old, man, which is awesome. Taron Johnson, Terre Bernard.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: So as long as those guys keep things reasonable, keep
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: things in front of them, no breakdowns, what I really
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: need is freaking Ed Oliver to have one of those
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Ed Oliver days. I don't understand why we can't have
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: that on a more consistent basis, and I try not
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: to get really pissed off about that, but it's like,
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: why is that like a special thing? Like if you
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: can do that and be a game wrecord, could we
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: do that maybe four times a season instead of once
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: or twice. So like this would be a great week
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: for Ed to kind of lose his ship and go
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: off and he's gonna by face today. We're not the
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: best version of the Chiefs offensive line, So that excites
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: me a little bit because that d line is due
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: for a three sack game and that could be a
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: difference maker if we could could do something like that.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: But just like you said, Pakito just doesn't happen. So
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: I feel like the middle back end of our defense
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: needs to play strong. I wouldn't be opposed to seeing
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: three linebackers in the game to deal with their their
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: two and three tight end sets because they pound us.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Pounded us with that last year in Buffalo in the playoffs.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, they pounded us with that and we stayed
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: in nickel the whole time and got run down pretty bad.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: So I don't you know, I love that we've got
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: this ability to get out of our our nickel and
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: into more of a base set up with three linebackers,
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: and I think that can help us against Kelsey and Gray.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: So again, smart football, keep stuff in front of you.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: They're gonna come after a cold Bishop. Yeah, So for
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: the love of God, don't run over a receiver downfield
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: before the ball gets there, Like, just could we just
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: not do that, you know what I mean? Just don't
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: give them the free thirty five yard PI because you know,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: you know they're coming at you for that to see
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: if it's there.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny, DT, because when he talks about Bishop,
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: I kind of get like a chill up my spine.
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: And then I think about the.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: Houston game and I'm like, CALLI you know what I mean, Like,
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: you know, he's he's been much better. He studied himself
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: in the games that he did have to come in
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: and play in spot duty. But you know, anytime a
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: rookie is back there, I'm just gonna be I'm just
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: gonna be nervous.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: That's just me naturally. Yeah, Yeah, I'm just nervous.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: DT.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: The Buffalo Bills will.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Stop the Kansas City Chiefs and the Mighty Patrick Mahomes
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: one Sunday night if we do what well.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: I'll start by saying we'd probably be a little more
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: confident in cold Bishop if he didn't have such a babyface,
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: you know, like it looks like a legit kid, and
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: you know you're like, okay, but hey, ring the bell, baby,
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: this is the NFL. Welcome, welcome to it. You're ready
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: to play the My first thought on this defense is
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: like back to the the twenty twenty Super Bowl when
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: the Bills losing the NFC championship, Chiefs go into and
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: play the Buccaneers.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: What did the Buccaneers do?
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: They got after Mahomes' ass, and it was it was
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: an ass kicking because of it, like they Mahomes couldn't
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: do anything, And you know, that was the key and
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: for since the beginning of time, to win football games,
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: it's protect your quarterback and get to the opposing quarterback,
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: and that's the easiest way to win. But you know,
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: last like over the years, I guess I've been seasoned
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: to like not even be mad about not getting pressure
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: on fifteen.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Anymore, Like I don't even know almost the fact.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: I don't even expect it.
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: And so then that has to relate to kind of
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: what last week was and the fact of like me
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: watching back the All twenty two and the highlights of
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: that Ravens game.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Eight had forever back there.
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah he didn't, but I think that was I think
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: that was also part of the game plan, same as
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: what I kind of was talking about the week before
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: with bow Nicks. It was like, damn, a few times
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: he was back there, it looked like he was back
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: there a little too long, and they keep him and
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: then he did that and it was like, Okay, so
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: I think.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: That I think that's because they didn't want him to run.
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: They didn't want to get out of their lanes.
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: Gabite McDermott kind of have this vibe about them, like
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: not that we're not gonna come after you, but it's
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: gonna be a lot harder, you know, what you see
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: down field than than what you're used to, And so
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: I don't even expect the pressure. But I've been calling
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: about this defensive line for a couple of weeks now,
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: and they're gonna have to have a good game for
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: us to win it. Straight up, playing simple, I mean
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: you you are gonna have.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Success.
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: Then, yes, they got lucky, and well not lucky. They
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: forced the three turnovers, good for them last week. You
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: can't you can't count on those turnovers this week, and
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: you're gonna have to get stops. You're gonna have to
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: get stops to win this game, obviously, But the fact
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: of getting to Mahomes, I think is out of the question.
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: I just haven't seen it, and I don't believe that
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: we could with this with this defensive line. So kind
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: of go back to the last two weeks and that
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: game plan, not sitting back but making those throwing lanes.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Really hard, second guessing really where you're gonna throw that ball.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Lean on the back half, yeah yeah, and and stuff
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: to run. You know they don't run real well. You know,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Checko is not the same guy before the injury. He's
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: just not back yet. He'll I mean that dude's a beast.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: He'll be He'll get Yeah, Karema.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Tire's not a he's not a bell cow running back. Yeah.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: So so you know it's gonna really come down to
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Mahomes's arm. And I just I feel an Ed Oliver.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: I'm wearing ninety one. Someday, I'm feeling it. I'm gonna manifest.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: I love it, Oliver. I love it Oliver Man. But
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: I love the version of Ed that Rex games. Ye
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: know what I mean, just feels see feels lazy or
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: something to me. And I don't hate to say that
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: because that's kind of douchey, but it feels like he
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: turns it off and on.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just turn it on, leave it on, and leave
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: it on the break switch, leave it on.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: I think that's the same thing.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: You know Ed is a is a perplexing player because
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: of the fact that you know he has the upside
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: even though he's undersized, he has the motor to get
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: you know, to get back there and affect the game,
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: and he just doesn't always do it.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: I know, for me, we'll go ahead DT.
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean go through this off this defensive line
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: right at Oliver could be a game record needs to
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: be Dukwan Jones. This could be his last NFL game ever,
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: you know, he he might be done after this the ends.
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: Greg Russo had a great game against KC back in
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: the regular season when he had that tip pick when
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: he was a rookie.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Like the it's an opportunity to kind.
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: Of change the narrative about the D line too, all
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: the kind of it's the probably the weakest spot on
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: this team all year. If they have a good night,
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: it changes the whole vibe, like okay, yeah, the S line,
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: look out whoever we're playing in the super Bowl, because
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: this is to come after your boy. And so I
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: think there's a there's some story book things happening on
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: this defensive line too, where you could like change that
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: narrative and be aggressive and At Oliver could wreck that
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: game and the Kwan Jones isn't going out on this
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: on this you know type of way, and these defensive
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: ends are finally making their their point that they're dominant.
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: And so that's kind of where I'm like, not expecting it,
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: but it's there. The opportunities there.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: It's funny because when you guys talk about defense, there's
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: only it's fun because Scott actually stole by thunder earlier
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: the show. There's only one thing that I think about
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: with this version of this version of the Chiefs, and
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: I'm just like, what the you know, I was watching
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: that game last week and I was like, do.
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: The tech do the typan the Texans? Excuse me?
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: Do they know that that Travis Kelcey is his main?
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: Like it was some crazy stuff. And then I heard
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: like I was listened to Colin Kawher the other day
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: and he was like talking to like Greg Cosell was
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: on the show.
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: He's like, it wasn't just that Houston wasn't playing good,
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: they just weren't executing.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: I'm like, man, I saw this dude running wide open
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: where I manned him up, Like, it's crazy to me.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: Mahomes had one hundred and seventy seven yards a pedestrian day.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: I know Josh died as well. I'm not taking shots.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: But out of the one hundred and seventy seven, one
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: hundred and seventeen went to Kelsey, and I'm like, why
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: is he not?
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: Why is he not your main focus?
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: I think d Hop didn't have a catch, the new
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: guy who just got back, Hollywood Brown didn't have a catch.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: Everything was too Worthy beside Worthy was the only wide
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: receiver to catch a pass the entire day. And I'm
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: just looking at it. I'm like, what do these decoordinators
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: do in their offices all week and then when they
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: present the game plan to these players.
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: Not that I could be a defensive coordinator.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying that Nickel City Crew Bill's maulfil All
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: I'm saying is that if I was a DC, my
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: number one thing when facing the Chiefs would be let's
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: get on eighty seven, let's frustrate him, bump them at
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: the line, and then we're going to make fifteen throw
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: to other guys. And I think for me, that's my
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: biggest thing defensively for the Bills. I understand. I'm almost
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: like DT that I'm resigned to the fact that I
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: don't expect a lot of pressure on Mahomes because it
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: just I've never seen it happen with my face, physical eyes.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: Can can somebody please cover this motherfucker Travis Kelsey. I
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: understand that he's popular. I understand that t Swift, this
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: little girl is up in the press box. Can you
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: cover him all day and make his life hell?
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Please?
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: For one game.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: We've done that. We have done it. So that's my
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: message on this game is this whole thing is doable.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: It's really doable.
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: She gets open those Scott.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: I know, it's like magic. I don't understand it.
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: It doesn't make any sense. I was watching the game,
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: I'm like, what that touchdown? Why did you keep him?
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: Why did you even flow to the other to the
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: other receiver like he's gonna throw eighty seven?
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Like what are you doing? It made make no sense
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: to me as a decordinator.
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: You think you could stop a guy with Cement Jordan's
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: on like straight up like yeah, yeah, I agree.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: I feel like if you, you know, shadow him with
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: a safety and the third linebacker and let the corners
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: play ball on man coverage, that that's gonna be good.
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: I think I like that the best. I think with
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: the d yes, somebody just cover him, just stay on.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: Him and then and then let the chips fall, you know,
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: with Noah Gray's and Worthyes and and all these other guys.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: I understand that they've got d Hopping and Hollywood Brown,
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: but Hollywood Brown hasn't even been around the team all
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: damn year. Just got there and hasn't even been a factor.
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: He had one good game again, I watched on a
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: Monday night. After that, I really did even know that
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: he was on I forgot he was on the.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Team for half the damn year.
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: So I'll be excited to see that, you know, Bobby
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: Babbage and Sean mcdermot's actual game plan for eighty seven,
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: because I do think he's going to be crucial.
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: Lays some licks too, Lays some licks. Take a take
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: a page out of the Ravens like playbook, that bully
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: ball style and be like, hey you, we're here, like
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: we're talking about the shoulder pads tonight.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: Watch the damn o line doing it on the other
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: side of the ball.
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: Man Kelsey gets his first hit, I want one through
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: his bitch ass like they don't see.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Like, lay some licks like we'd love it. We might
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: not get some homes.
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: But don't make the game easy for these guys.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: But let's let's let's lay some licks.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: That's what I hate about Missing Taylor rap is he's
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: kind of a piss missile. Yes, true, I got hurt,
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: but that's you know, he's a little fragile that way.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe he just got to start to change
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: that up a little bit.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: DT said he'll stick his head of the wood chipper,
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: and that's how he got hurt. And then he's like
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: it comes right back out and doesn't again. So that's
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: definitely his game for sure. As we transition to that
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: before we begin to wrap up. It's funny because I
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: know that a lot of people have talked about Sean
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: Mcdermoty's been a hot topic. He was snubbed for NFL
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: Coach of the Year and being listen, it wouldn't be
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: nicchol City Crew if we didn't get to Jell McDermott
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: sometime before uh this big ass game. So I would
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: be off brand personally. I would feel like I wasn't
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: doing my job. It's funny because my feelings on him,
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: I still don't, you know, I still don't forgive him
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: for thirteen seconds until I will if they make the
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl appearance. I'll forgive him, but until then, I'm
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: still got my eye on him.
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: One thing that I can definitely say a.
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: Couple of things I could say about him this year, Fellas,
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: is that he has been aggressive and he's he's been
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: leaning that way the last couple of years. And the
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: facts prove it on fourth down efficiency and going forward
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: in tendencies and all the different type of things. So
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: he has already been leaning that way the last few years,
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: and I'll give him credit for that. I think that
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: he had his magnum opus, you know, was the Miami
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: game a couple of years ago.
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: And then DT was like, this.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: Was probably his best game last week and I was like, yeah,
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: twenty five points to that, two head of monster is
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: probably the best I've ever seen him coach.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: I understand body Bavage is actually calling the plays now.
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: Confidence level in McDermott to the thing about him that
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: worries me the most more than just when to go
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: forward and fourth down and stuff like that. I think
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: that he's got that downpack for at least there's somebody
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: in his ear that's given him the right advice. Is
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: that when the lights are brightest, when they're shining, the brightest.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: I feel like he starts to clench. He starts to
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: do that booty clench. Got you don't know much about that,
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: but like he starts to get tight and clenched up.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: And that's been my major, my number one, you know,
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: critique of him is just that when the games are tight,
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: he starts to change his stripe, you know, and you
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: can't change a tiger stripe.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: A tiger's a tiger. A giraffe spots are Jiraft spots.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: So I always feel like he reverts back to what
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: he always has been, and that is a conservative coach
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: and quite frankly, coaching not to lose the game instead
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: of trying to go snatch the game. What's the confidence
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: level that you have, DT, as you approach this game
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: in the head man, he's gotten a lot of good
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: press about being more loose, and he's doing snow angels
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: and all this different type of stuff, and he's letting
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: Josh be Josh and all this listen. And I'm not
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: poo pooing any of it, DT, I'm not poo pooing
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: any of It's got The lights again, will not be
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: brighter than they are Sunday night.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: If you are really turned the corner.
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: And I can think of Mama Mondy in my head
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: right now, DT talking about him and his maturation and
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: different things like that. I know he sat down with
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: Tie Done and let Tie Doun into his office most
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: recently a couple months back, and let Tye ask him questions.
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: So I appreciate that he's been open. I appreciate that
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: he seems to be evolving, and I'll give him credit
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: for that. Don't don't revert. Do not revert in Missouri
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: on Sunday night, or will be right on your ass again.
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: Do not revert.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: Stick to the same sean that you you seem to
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: be heading towards.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: Well, it's inevitable. I mean, there's nowhere to hide.
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: And we've said that a few times, but it's legit
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: this time, like if that happens, you know, that's the
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: narrative and there's there's no saying anything about it. You know,
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: four years ago, probably weren't ready, probably were out matched,
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: probably didn't have the talent. Then the divisional round against
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: the bank or the next year was thirteen seconds two
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: seconds were you were probably ready to slew it. That's
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: what everybody, and you blew it. On the next year
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: the Bengals Divisional. I don't even know. I don't I
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: don't know. I don't know what to put that on.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: I think it was vibes and and everything tomorrow Hamlet.
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: Okay, unacceptable, but it's still throwing in there. Yeah, last
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: year similar to thirteen seconds, right, you had, I mean
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: the injuries whatever, but they it was it was a
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: shell of a team.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: You let them go up and down the field on you.
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: You had a chance, and the end he really didn't
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: you know, throw any kills shots or you know, do
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: anything killers. So now it feels this team feels different,
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: this this run feels different, This bod feels different. So
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: it has to be different from Sean McDermott as well.
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: It has to go in, you know, confident and it's
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: it's your time. Now, it's your time to take over
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: and make this step. It doesn't happen. Organizations like this
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: don't happen. We are very lucky to have this. But
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: as we've talked about a couple of years ago, Rob,
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: it's okay to lift our expectations as fans.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: We've had all this. Now expectation is to win this game.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: We're not.
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: We're happy to be here, but we're not okay with
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: losing that satisfied. We're not satisfied with losing this game.
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: So it's okay to raise that expectation and take it
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: to the next level. And I think there's nowhere to
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: hoide anymore.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: It is what it is. The excuses are out.
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: Everything's set up, this team, this man power, no injuries,
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: the Chiefs a little down. Everything's in your favor to
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: go in there and coach, coach this team to the
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: super Bowl. And if he does that, he will forever
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: be you know, beloved, and there'll be statues and Sean
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: McDermott can do whatever the fuck he wants in Buffalo
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: the rest of his life, but it has to be
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: this year. So I am confident because I feel like
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: the vibe of this team is different and he's obviously
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: the leader of the team when it comes to that,
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: so changing that and moving into that into that threshold.
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: But it's also Seventeen's got a lot more rains on
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: the team than he did on those on those games.
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: When I mean that contradicts the thirteen second game because
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: Josh Allen played lights out and they still found a
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: way to lose it, but I feel like there's more
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: hands on deck. It's not all Sean McDermott now seventeen
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: has a big part of winning this game too, and
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: like not just his talent on the field, but his
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: leadership in his libe and the team following him. So
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: maybe a little more off his plate, Babbage calling the
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: D seventeen, stepping up a little more, making it his team,
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: and then growing and being become more looser and trusting
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: in the process, if you will. So that's that's kind
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: of where I lie. It's it sounds like a broken record,
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: but there's really no other option. Now you go in
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: and you lose this game, there's it's it's gonna be
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: because you know you are ready.
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: Scott Man, I mean, this guy has.
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: He's garnered a lot of praise from Bill's mafia and
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: and rightfully so because he has been a little bit
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: of a different coach. And you know, I never would
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: have I never would have imagined up doing snow ages
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: on national TV after I mean, I just it just
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: wouldn't have been in the lexic kind of things that
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: I thought would happen.
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: Boy, just the lights and just the situations.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: And we've seen him I've seen him get tight, and
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: because i've seen him, yes his face and then all
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, he's making different calls and he's doing
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: different things, and it's like, man, now you not understanding
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: the situation. I just want him to understand that you've
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: got to coach this game like it's week two. I
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: understand it's not week two. But if your principals in
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: week two were your principles and you were you had
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: conviction back then, then have that same conviction in the
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: AFC Championship game. Don't let the moment and the magnitude
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: of the moment change who you think you are or
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: what you think is best for the team, because you are.
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: You're the CEO of this team. Regardless or not, you're
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: the CEO.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: I first of all, I don't think we're going to
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: be in that ridiculous moment where it's all or nothing,
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: do or die. I just see it. I just think
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: we're going to play well enough to have to avoid that.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying it can't happen, because that's silly, but
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: I feel confident to be there. But if we're in
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: that spot, one thing that makes me feel better about
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: all of this is We've got a formula this year,
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: and I saw it in the Denver game. I saw
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: it in the Baltimore game, but it didn't pan out
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: because we struggled to execute those third quarter drives. But
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: this team adjusts better than any team under Sean McDermott
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: that I've seen. We'll go in, we're you know, ten
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: to seven, seven to seven, fourteen to you know, it's
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: a tight game, one score window at half time and
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: we're looking at each other like where is the Bill's
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: team from last week? And then the second half comes
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: out and bam, there it is, and we closed the
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: door and we move on. That's different this year. We've
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: never had that on a consistent level. And it's been
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: pretty consistent all season. Mid mid game adjustments, la game adjustments.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: And that tells me it feels like Sean's letting the
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: coaching staff coach. Yes, like you said, this is Josh's
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: team and it's not you know that knock you know,
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: Tyler Dunn, the whole knock on mcnermott was my way
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: or the highway and all this story stuff. Yeah, and
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: it feels like leaders are able to lead, and maybe
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: that's a sign of his his growth openness. But you know,
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: you look at how long did it take Coward to
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: get his title? Right? How long there's new Bill Belichick
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: for the love of God and all that's holy, he
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: was awful for decades, you know. So, so even like
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: letting go of thirteen seconds is painful because that was
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: the first window. It was wide open, and we slammed
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: it on our knuckles self inflicted horseshit. God, it still
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: pisses me off. But I'm letting it go because I'm
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: I'm just trying to like it's coming. Like Peyton Manning.
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: How long did it take Peyton and and so Josh
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: I feel and and U freaking Denver Bronco guy John Elway,
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: how long did it take him to get his you know,
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: Steve Young before he won to Yeah, so I'm not hopeless.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: Even if this doesn't work out Monday, and I'm not
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: setting myself, I'm gonna be crushed like garbage if this
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: doesn't pan out Sunday night. So I'm not doing that right,
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: But I don't. I just I just feel like we're
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: gonna get there. But damn it, like you said, DT,
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: this is the year man. It is sitting here right here,
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: for us. This to me is head and shoulders more
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: of our shot at it than thirteen seconds was in game.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: Thirteen seconds was but coming in fitting in me.
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: Now, this is I expected us to win this game.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, thirteen seconds is like ship, we had it and
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: we peed down house.
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, thirteen seconds was house money going in
• 54:07
  Speaker 5: like even they got a little lead coming out of
• 54:09
  Speaker 5: the second. I was like, yeah, yeah, here we go.
• 54:12
  Speaker 5: We're gonna get the premise of what Scott saying. I
• 54:14
  Speaker 5: understand that I expect us to do it this year.
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: Yes, that's it.
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: It's the expectations leading in the expectations that year, and
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: I did not expect it to be a super Bowl team.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not just a pissed off fan. I'm confident, Like
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: I love what you said to TV. We're gonna go
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: to work. I'm gonna watch us roll up our sleeves
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: and do our job. And I'm confident we can do that.
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: And if we do that, I'm not worried about it.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: And I know how freaking good Chief's Kingdom is. I'm
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: not I will never that that franchise, but they are amazing,
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: no problem. But we're we're We're ready we're ready.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, I love them.
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: Try that because I know my mom will probably listen. Listen, man,
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: I really enjoyed you guys tonight. Twelve hundred people over
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: twelve hundred watching from Nichols's. It was Mafia's and I
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: really appreciate all you guys tonight for our special Nickel
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: City Crew tail gate report. We're gonna have a little
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: bit of fun tonight because you weren't around, Scott, but
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: I know I messaged you. We did an emergency you know,
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: a podcast because we're just we were just so amped
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: up and we're like, come on, man, let's let's just
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: get on there. And the actual Buffalo fan base actually
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: asked me to go live because they didn't have anybody
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: to go live, so I volunteered. I was like, I'll
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: go live, and I get so DT was coming back
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: from the game, so we had a good time with that.
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: We almost had like two thousand people tune in for
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: that episode, which was really really cool because it's dead
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: of night and everybody's just amped up over the bills,
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: so we're gonna have some fun tonight with it. I
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: want to know what your plans are gonna be if
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: we win the game, and I know that that is.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: It's like, what, that's blasphemy. We haven't even played the
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: game yet.
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: Because you know, it's funny because when you start to
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: let your mind wander a.
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: Little bit, and I'm not talking about menu and stuff
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: like that.
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about how you're gonna feel as a Buffalo
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: Bills fan. I was five. Nickel City Crew knows this, Scott.
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: I was five, six, seven and eight for the Super
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: Bowl run. You know, I literally that you see right
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: behind me. My Bill's fandom was shaped by those guys,
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: just you know, Thurman and Bruce and Andre and Jim
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: and all those got darn Tally. I mean, I literally
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: have a Spider Man jinks. I have a Spider Man
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: under armor that I wear underneath the Tally jersey that
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: I have upstairs in my closet.
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: Like literally, those guys shape my Bill's fandom for sure.
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: For me, I know that it's going to be something
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: where I might be like DT, I might actually shed
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: a tear just getting back there, because what if I
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: always said on the show, DT, I just want to
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: get back to the bowl, get back to the show,
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: and then I let the chips fall from there, not
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: saying that I want to go oh and five, not
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: saying that I want to get jeered and shit talk
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: to me at the barbershop like I always doing.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: What's Bill standing for? Boy?
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: I love losing Super Bowls. I had to deal with
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: all that growing up. I already know it all. So
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: what's the worst. The worst is that you go oh
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: and five and I got to hear more bullshit at
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: the barbershop. But boy, the other side of the coin
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: would be just so glorious. So I just want to
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: get there and be an adult and enjoy it. I
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: was five, six, seven and eight. I'm I can't really,
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: I can only do so much. My parents threw a
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: party for the Giants game, and I remember crying like
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: a baby, and then I cried like maybe fifty two
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: seventeen with the Cowboys blew our doors off.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: I am so excited for this week because if we
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: do get a chance to come out with this victory,
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: it's two weeks of lead up, fellas Bill's Mafia, Nicol
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: City Crew.
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: It's all about us and the NFC team. It's all There's.
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: No more, no more debates, no more this and that
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: about Oh can he get it? Done, and all that
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: other shit you can flush it down the toilet and
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: shooting into the sun.
• 57:33
  Speaker 4: It's about us.
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: It's about this team that is representing the American Football Conference,
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: our twenty twenty four bills, and I just I get
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: chills sometimes thinking about it because I just want to
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: be a grown up. I want to be an adult
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: for those games. I enjoyed those memories, but they're faint
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: memories because I was five, six, seven and eight. As
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: an adult, I can only imagine and then that you
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: already know Scott and DT obviously know. DT became an
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: uncle again this year. I welcomed my first daughter.
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: Like I have.
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: There is so much much riding on this twenty twenty
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: four season that has been special for me that a
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl berth Man. It would just it would mean
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: the world to me, and I would. I would be
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: a madman. I'd have stuff all over my house, all
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: of the mailbox.
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: And I would.
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: I would definitely cook every meat imaginable. I'd smoke and
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: be up at I don't know, four o'clock in the morning.
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: I'd be smoking meats and frying meats and doing everything
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: imaginable for that game. I cannot wait for it, and
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: it's all about the lead up because of the fact
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: that there's nowhere else for the NFL word to focus.
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: You're focused on the AFC team and the NFC team
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: and all the rest of all those you know, those
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: talking heads and Ryan Clark, all those guys talking shit
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: about us, Nick Wrights, they all have to eat cro
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: and talk about the bills, go to your job and
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: talk about us because we're representing the conference and I
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: just want that so bad for this fan base. I
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: want it so bad for me and my family, and
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: I can't wait. So that is my Nicol City crew
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: tailgate report, DT lead us off.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: What would a Sunday win mean? Man?
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: It would It's I get chills thinking about this shit.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 58:58
  Speaker 5: Well, what did Specer Brown say this week? He said
• 59:00
  Speaker 5: it's gonna be a party, celebration or well, you know,
• 59:07
  Speaker 5: you know Nicola City knows DT DTS all allsober this month.
• 59:10
  Speaker 5: So I'm gonna keep that rolling. I got through two
• 59:13
  Speaker 5: tailgates with it, so I can get through literally anything now,
• 59:18
  Speaker 5: and I will. The biggest, the deeper meaning here is that,
• 59:24
  Speaker 5: like we said, this feels different, This feels like it's
• 59:27
  Speaker 5: our year. So this would solidify that you know this
• 59:30
  Speaker 5: would it wouldn't. I wouldn't go in the super Bowl like,
• 59:32
  Speaker 5: oh man, we made the super Bowl round house money again.
• 59:35
  Speaker 5: Like no, I'd go into the super Bowl expecting to win,
• 59:37
  Speaker 5: and I expect to win Sunday. And if we do,
• 59:41
  Speaker 5: I feel like that confidence, that difference, that that flow,
• 59:45
  Speaker 5: if you will, will be yep, good, we're supposed to
• 59:48
  Speaker 5: win this.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: We definitely.
• 59:50
  Speaker 5: I mean it'll be emotion I'll be pumped up, I'll
• 59:51
  Speaker 5: go crazy, but the general feeling is going to be like, yep,
• 59:55
  Speaker 5: this is our year. This is why it's our year.
• 59:57
  Speaker 5: This is part of the story. We deserve to go
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 5: in and win this game, change the narrative, finally beat
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 5: the Chiefs. All whatever it's got to be. We deserve
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 5: to be here.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: We're going to go win the super Bowl now, Scott Man,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: I I remember when we broke the drought. I was
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: at buff and I was at my boy's house, and
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: I mean right on Ken Wore in Princeton, and I
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: just went out o the road Delaware, Prinston. I went
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: out on the street and just was screaming and other
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: people you can hear other people in other houses screaming
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: I did that for a playoff, Berth.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine what it would be like on Sunday night.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: What would it be like for you to witness the
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: Bills get back to the super Bowl Because obviously you were
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: a little bit older than me for the Super Bowl run.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: How old were you for the Super Bowl run?
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: So I was in graduate school. So my bills, My
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: bills are fred Smerliss, Jie Ferguson, Jill Cribs, Charlie Romes.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: There you go, Reggie McKenzie.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, what.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: Word for me Sunday night will be tears and a
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: little bit of shock and oh my god.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: But I really want this for Bill's mafia, for the
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: people who've never experienced it, who only know the drought.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: I want this for Josh Patrick Allen. I want this
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: for him. The road he's been down as a as
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: a professional, as a high school kid. The amount of
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: disrespect that still gets laid on his name pisses me off.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: I love that he seemingly really doesn't care about it,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: but I know he's got to say that. But I
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: need this for Josh. I'd like to see McDermott get
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: some you know, some come home and some recognition. But
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: I just for me, it's gonna be emotional. Yeah, it's
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: gonna be really emotional. There's gonna be tearshed. I'm not afraid,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: ashamed or afraid to say that. I'll and I'll be
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: I'll probably just have to sit for a little while. Yeah,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: and just sit, man. But I love what you said
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: about they're gonna have to talk about us, and they're
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: going to have to put respect on our name because
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: there's only two got to you know. Either way. I love.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: I would love to play Philly and I would love
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: to play the.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: Kids, but I love that part of it that they
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: all have to eat.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: Bro, you gotta go to work and talk about us
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: because we're the biggest thing in town right now, us and.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: We deserve.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 5: Some be super Bowl. You know, like no offense to
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 5: the Bengals a few years ago, but when they slid
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 5: by the Chiefs and it was like okay, sick, you know,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 5: Chiefs Bengals and Rams like okay cool. But like if
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 5: we get there, it's like we deserve to be there.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 5: And then you know that's why it's such a heated
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 5: match up so to the Chiefs, so you know it
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 5: that's what I find like pride into Like it's not
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 5: gonna be house money, it's not gonna be just for fun.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: Oh we made it.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 5: Let's see what happens. It's we deserve to be here, like,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 5: let's go win the thing now, like, but we definitely
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 5: deserve to win.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: Like they And we've run the gauntlet. Listen. Man, we
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: we beat the freaking Baltimore Ravens and that was not
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: a good matchup for our roster, not defense on our
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball, it was. That was heroic
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: in my opinion. Yeah, we'll take the luck. I will
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: take the luck. We we covered that, so and then
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: go to k C and get it done in Kansas City,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: absolutely chef's kiss. So yeah, I will feel good about that.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: And you look at the back six games of our
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: season where the no bullshit stretch was. We came through
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: that and the only real thing we had was losing
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: that damn Rams game, which was weird, and that was
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: one that I just didn't see coming as well either.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: I said that Matthew.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: Stafford just went superhuman. God dang, he played a ball
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: game and their defense, you know, made them just enough plays.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: So we've earned it. Like DT said, We've earned it,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: we belong here. This is no bullshit. So yeah, that's
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: it'll be emotional for me.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it would be emotional for most of
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: Bill's Mafia.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 4: And I know I can.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: I could speak for Bill's Mafia in that regard because
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: I'm a member of the Bafia just like you guys are,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: and we know how much this means to us. You know,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: fan is short for attic for sure, but it just
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: out of there's something about the Buffalo Bills and the
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: city of Buffalo and the western New York region.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 4: It just means more.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: I don't really know how to quantify it or put
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: a you know, a word on it that really encapsulates it,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: but it really just means more to us. That's why
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: sometimes I used to joke with people, like what you
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: think the Buffalo is a Sabers town. I was like,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: are you there's seventy thousand people do not go to
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: watch the Favors.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: I don't even care.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: When we were in the Stanley Cup and we were
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: filled up Niagara Square, like there's it's it's no comparison.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: That's not to take a shot the Savers.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying that would also be awesome. But this
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: is a Bill's.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: Tuffalo is a Bill's town, like like like it's just
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: it's not even closed. It's not even worth the argument.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: And I just think that it just means so much
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: to us. The fans deserve it. We do deserve it.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 3: I do believe that you're absolutely right, Scott, Josh does
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: deserve it. I think that one of the things that
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: made me so mad. I don't think I know that.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: One of the things that made me so mad at
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: Sean McDermott was that, like your quarterback just he literally everything.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: He left the field twice with the lead and you
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 3: fucked it up, you know what I mean. And obviously
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: he wasn't just McDermott, but he's again, he's the CEO.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: That's why I'll be watching him on Sunday. You're running
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: all of this, and I really hope that you're right
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: about it, Scot. As we close up tonight, is that
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: I have heard that, you know, some of those Tyler
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: dun vibes. I heard, you know that he was a
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: control freak, and then I heard that now he's you know,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: delegating more and he's he's kind of that grip has
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: kind of loosened a little bit. He's letting Bobby really
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: call the plays. He stays out of the way of
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: the offense and really entrust Joe Brady DT. I think
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: that that's going to be key on Sunday. I don't
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: know really any other way to say it. I have
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: confidence in Josh, I have confidence in the offense and
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: Joe Brady because he's turned the corner for me. The
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: defense I really don't care too too much about because
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: just score more than them.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 4: It's McDermott for me.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: DT.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: I know we're getting ready to close up, but this
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: is a special episode. I just don't want him to
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: change DT. Does that make I know that you know
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: that that makes sense because you know how much he
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: gets on my damn nerves. Just don't change, man, Just
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: do what act like it's week seven. I know that
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: it's not week seven. I know that mentally, you have
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: to play tricks on your mind, like, okay, well if
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: we lose, though, it's don't make any decisions on the
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: fact that you can lose this game and it's over.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: Make the decision that you feel like best for the team,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: and do it with conviction.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 5: And I will say This is a team you can
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 5: trust more than any team you've ever had. Right what
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 5: they've shown in the maturity and especially out of one seven,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 5: this is a team you can trust one than any
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 5: team you've ever had. AFC Championship. Probably weren't ready.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: Whatever.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 5: Next year thirteen seconds, Yeah, we were thirteen seconds. We
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 5: could have We could have want to ring that year.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 5: We could have deserved the Bowl. Make an argument for it.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 5: Fuck the Bengals year whatever.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: Moving on. Last year, we could have won.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 5: We we battled at six and six, but all that adversity,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 5: got back into got back into the playoffs second and
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 5: could have beat the Chiefs to go on, and you know,
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 5: we could have went to the super Bowl that year.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 5: So at one point it starts to get a little personal,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 5: like it's what they are taking away something from you
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 5: that you deserve. They are taking away something from you.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 5: They are taking away happiness, They are taking away the
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 5: mafia exploding, They are taking away our fucking prey. Taylor
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 5: Swift has a song bad Blood. This is bad Blood.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 5: This is personal. I like that this is personal and
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 5: we are focused. I'm not worried about overcompensating because we're
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 5: pissed off and got to be.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: We are focused. We don't play the game.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 5: What you deserve. This team is taking away what you deserve.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 5: This team is taking a ring off your finger.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: I like it.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: Team is taking away our fucking prey.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 4: I like it.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 3: I like it a lot. Bad Blood, I like it.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 3: Bad trying to make me change the episode name. I'm
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: not changing the episode.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: Baby.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: You almost did that ship to me last week. But
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: I feel you though on that Bad Blood. I like
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: that a lot. Man, I almost played the revenge open
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: for this game to pay back open, but you know,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: I'm just in a different headspace. I don't I don't
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: fear them the way that I did before. So it's
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: not payback for me. This is this is what's rightfully ours.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: This is time for us to step into our own destiny.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: There they're gonna write stories about this team down the
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: road and thirty for thirties and different things like that,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: and Bill's maffield go crazy and we deserve it all.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: And I think that if we get to the super Bowl,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: I'll let the chips fall. And I do think that
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: we'll win it. Well, we'll cover that, We'll cover that.
