- 1:54Speaker 6: at the crew DT.
- 1:56Speaker 1: I mean we are here. You say you tried to
- 1:57Speaker 1: slow me off last week. You can't. You can't left
- 2:00Speaker 1: me off any more depressions here, baby, what's good? I
- 2:02Speaker 1: let the crew? What's up?
- 2:03Speaker 3: Brob Nickel City. We're at it, baby. Playoffs playoffs we
- 2:10Speaker 3: never thought of.
- 2:11Speaker 7: And I remember, you know, going to my first playoff game, uh,
- 2:14Speaker 7: literally a few years ago and being like this is
- 2:18Speaker 7: this is awesome being in the postseason. And now it's
- 2:20Speaker 7: it's a regular thing for for us in the in
- 2:23Speaker 7: the Mafia and Nickel City Crew. Let's go, baby, I'm
- 2:26Speaker 7: I'm pumped up. We've talked all year. I'd like this Friday,
- 2:29Speaker 7: you know, kind of let you get get loose in
- 2:31Speaker 7: the beginning of the week, kind of figure things out,
- 2:33Speaker 7: and then Friday you start to ramp up.
- 2:35Speaker 3: And you know, I'm not.
- 2:36Speaker 7: I'm I'm gonna say I'm scared. I'm pumped up. It's
- 2:39Speaker 7: postseason one in old time. Uh one o'clock at the Ralph.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Let it roll out, baby, Yeah. Man, Absolutely, you're absolutely right.
- 2:48Speaker 6: I mean, I'm not I'm not scared, but I'm definitely
- 2:50Speaker 6: on on high alert for sure. That's for good reason
- 2:53Speaker 6: because the one and done nature of the playoffs, as
- 2:56Speaker 6: I said last week, just kind of adds a little
- 2:57Speaker 6: bit of anxiety that that just is. It's just it's
- 3:00Speaker 6: just what's really sports is all about. Man, The fantom
- 3:02Speaker 6: is all about joining us tonight. We've got a big
- 3:05Speaker 6: time crew for tonight's playoff preview episode. This guy, as always,
- 3:10Speaker 6: has just been a rock in our corner here at
- 3:13Speaker 6: Nichols City Crew since the very beginning, and I guess
- 3:16Speaker 6: he's here to do a victory lap.
- 3:17Speaker 1: I don't know what it could possibly be.
- 3:19Speaker 6: Maybe it's for that goddamn everybody eats or some of
- 3:22Speaker 6: that other garbage, but joining us tonight. The creative director
- 3:25Speaker 6: over at Buffalo fan Base, the Official Bills Mafia podcast

- 4:04Speaker 6: tonight for our twenty twenty four playoff preview. A young
- 4:07Speaker 6: man that I really have enjoyed his content. He started
- 4:10Speaker 6: coming on here to Buffalo fan base and join the network.
- 4:13Speaker 6: I'm back in the in the late spring, I think
- 4:15Speaker 6: it was early summer, and we're happy to have him.
- 4:18Speaker 1: He's come on the.
- 4:19Speaker 6: Show before, he's knocked him down, so we had to
- 4:21Speaker 6: have him back on again. At the crew Sterling.
- 4:24Speaker 5: Furl Hey, what's up?

- 4:33Speaker 6: crew man, what's good with you, man, hot let the crew.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Hey man, it's Friday. It's a playoffs eve, right, you know,
- 4:41Speaker 2: all the all the playoff demons. I guess they're gonna
- 4:45Speaker 2: you know, Haunch your sleep tonight, right man, it's you know,
- 4:52Speaker 2: it's a it's a good day around here, bro and
- 4:54Speaker 2: and me being in Colorado, you know, hearing these Broncos
- 4:58Speaker 2: fans talk smack this. You know, it's time to put
- 5:01Speaker 2: these boys in their place.
- 5:03Speaker 1: I love it. I love it.
- 5:04Speaker 6: Yeah, You've got a unique perspective being out there in
- 5:07Speaker 6: the mountain country for sure.
- 5:08Speaker 1: So we can't wait to get it now, fellas as
- 5:10Speaker 1: we begin tonight.
- 5:11Speaker 6: It's funny because DT and I did an episode last
- 5:14Speaker 6: week about nervous energy and just about how I'm starting
- 5:17Speaker 6: to freak the fuck out and like and I'm trying
- 5:19Speaker 6: to keep everything level headed. And DT was definitely in
- 5:22Speaker 6: the level place last week. But as we talked about,
- 5:25Speaker 6: this is it's time to go, This is a it's
- 5:27Speaker 6: go time. And I think that it's because of the
- 5:28Speaker 6: fact of the finality of the playoffs. I know for
- 5:31Speaker 6: a fact for me personally, that's what has really got
- 5:35Speaker 6: my awarenesses at a heightened sense because of the fact
- 5:37Speaker 6: that you know, one slip up and it could all
- 5:39Speaker 6: be over, and one bad game it could all be over.
- 5:42Speaker 6: And I think it's a situation where, you know, DT,
- 5:45Speaker 6: we talked about a little bit last week, but we
- 5:47Speaker 6: already recalibrated early in the year. I mean, we talked
- 5:50Speaker 6: about how episode eighteen or so, after that Miami game,
- 5:53Speaker 6: like man, we might have something here, and then we
- 5:55Speaker 6: had those bad losses, and then afterwards Being goes and
- 5:58Speaker 6: gets Amari Cooper and like, okay, all hands on deck,
- 6:01Speaker 6: like this is something that we can go and get
- 6:03Speaker 6: and get done because of the fact that the team
- 6:05Speaker 6: is realizing some of the deficiencies that they have. And
- 6:07Speaker 6: then after that it was almost like a rocket ship DT.
- 6:10Speaker 6: We just kind of took off and haven't looked back
- 6:12Speaker 6: since great season fourteen wins. I mean, I just I
- 6:16Speaker 6: don't know what to say other than the fact that
- 6:17Speaker 6: I think that this team is prime and ready to.
- 6:18Speaker 7: Go enough trajectory to be excited for sure, you know,
- 6:22Speaker 7: the bell curve of just working its way up, working
- 6:26Speaker 7: up the roller coaster. Hopefully you know, our big drop
- 6:29Speaker 7: doesn't come anytime soon, and we'll still keep working up there.
- 6:33Speaker 7: So excited to get Roman. The big thing about this
- 6:37Speaker 7: team this year is, yeah, we've had something here and
- 6:40Speaker 7: against expectations or whatever the case is, but we've a
- 6:44Speaker 7: lot under the hood. It feels like they haven't even
- 6:47Speaker 7: exploited everything that we got. You know, we haven't been
- 6:49Speaker 7: fully healthy really until now. We haven't showed all our
- 6:51Speaker 7: offensive weapons really until now. Like, there's a lot of
- 6:54Speaker 7: things I feel like we're still very capable of. And
- 6:57Speaker 7: to get fourteen wins in the NFL is you know,
- 7:00Speaker 7: it's nothing to sneeze at, very hard to do, you know,
- 7:02Speaker 7: record setting in terms of seven years of doing it
- 7:06Speaker 7: and being able to come here and get fourteen wins
- 7:08Speaker 7: and not even really show all your stuff or have
- 7:10Speaker 7: your whole team in one place at one time. It's
- 7:14Speaker 7: got to make you really excited as.
- 7:15Speaker 1: A Bill's fan.
- 7:16Speaker 6: Yeah, it's interesting because I know, Justice, you're here to
- 7:19Speaker 6: do a little bit of a victory lap as well
- 7:22Speaker 6: in respects to everybody eats. But this was something where
- 7:25Speaker 6: I have to admit, I mean it was back in
- 7:27Speaker 6: the beginning. It seamson like it was like September, and
- 7:29Speaker 6: I was like, we got to like recalibrate this thing
- 7:31Speaker 6: because it was a situation where the team was looking
- 7:34Speaker 6: dominant to start, they were taking teams out short fields,
- 7:38Speaker 6: aided by some great defensive play from the defense of
- 7:40Speaker 6: the turnovers, and then all of a sudden, you're looking
- 7:42Speaker 6: up and this team is whooping up on Miami and
- 7:44Speaker 6: like we're rolling like it looked like there was nothing
- 7:46Speaker 6: else getting ready to stop us. We've already recalibrated our
- 7:49Speaker 6: expectations over here at Nicholsiony Creue. How was it for
- 7:52Speaker 6: you watching this season transpire, because again, you're here for
- 7:55Speaker 6: a victory lap.
- 7:56Speaker 1: I didn't.
- 7:57Speaker 6: I poop pooed everybody eats. I thought it was bullshit,
- 8:00Speaker 6: but it seems to be something that has a little
- 8:02Speaker 6: bit of teeth to it now. I do think a
- 8:03Speaker 6: Mari Cooper's is a big deal with that, with drawing
- 8:06Speaker 6: defenses away and helping out as a pseudo number one.
- 8:09Speaker 6: But I mean this whole Moniker man, there's like nobody
- 8:12Speaker 6: over like four hundred yards besides Shakira's.
- 8:15Speaker 1: It's it's wild to me.
- 8:17Speaker 8: So everybody eats isn't really what I want to do
- 8:21Speaker 8: a victory lap over, because that's that's here and there.
- 8:24Speaker 8: I don't think everybody eats will always be the consistent
- 8:28Speaker 8: thing that gets the Bills to be super Bowl contenders.
- 8:31Speaker 8: I agree, the thing that will get the Bills to be,
- 8:35Speaker 8: you know, perennial super Bowl contenders is going to be
- 8:38Speaker 8: Josh Allen. And that was my argument to start the season.
- 8:41Speaker 8: It was he still got seventeen on the roster, right,
- 8:44Speaker 8: you know, it's like everybody kind of you know, I
- 8:48Speaker 8: will say that Aaron Kromer has been in absolute godsend
- 8:55Speaker 8: because I'm sure it's a lot easier to be Josh
- 8:57Speaker 8: Allen when you have a consistent in the game and
- 9:00Speaker 8: you have really good protection. So not only do you
- 9:04Speaker 8: have your absolutely all time greatest ever es capability, you
- 9:10Speaker 8: also have a good offensive line in front of you
- 9:12Speaker 8: to hinder anybody attacking you in the first place.
- 9:16Speaker 5: And then.
- 9:18Speaker 4: If you really watched the Bills, Stefan Diggs.
- 9:22Speaker 8: Gabe Davis, Curtis Sammon or not Curtis Samuel and Mayuel
- 9:27Speaker 8: Sanders like all these guys, Kobe's Lee, John Brown, They're good.
- 9:29Speaker 8: I'm not taking anything away from any of them, But
- 9:32Speaker 8: if you actually watch the Bills, it's Josh. It's all
- 9:36Speaker 8: ways been Josh. It's Josh dropped back the past all right,
- 9:40Speaker 8: Diggs beat his man.
- 9:41Speaker 4: Boom. Okay, cool.
- 9:43Speaker 8: Now if Diggs don't beat this man, or if the
- 9:45Speaker 8: protection is shaded towards Diggs, all right, cool, second read,
- 9:49Speaker 8: third read. Whatever, Now I'm out of the pocket. Now
- 9:51Speaker 8: we're into the sidelight, and now I'm throwing a dark
- 9:53Speaker 8: somewhere across the field. Yeah, you know, within a yard
- 9:57Speaker 8: of this highland. That's been consistent for the last five years.
- 10:00Speaker 8: So I didn't see why people thought that was gonna change.
- 10:04Speaker 8: That was really my whole thing. I will say that
- 10:07Speaker 8: Joe Brady has been very good. I'll give him a
- 10:13Speaker 8: good ninety percent of the season. He's been really, really good,
- 10:15Speaker 8: so I want to give him his skudos to that.
- 10:18Speaker 8: I think it's it's a lot easier of a job
- 10:21Speaker 8: to do when you have the best toy in the
- 10:23Speaker 8: world to play with, which really tells you just how
- 10:27Speaker 8: bad Ken Dorsey was and that's why he got fired again.
- 10:30Speaker 4: But that that was my whole thing, is it's Josh
- 10:32Speaker 4: Allen have the most talented.
- 10:33Speaker 8: Quarterback that's ever picked up a football, So he's gonna
- 10:37Speaker 8: make things happen with whoever's on the field.
- 10:39Speaker 4: So you know, that was really my whole thing, and
- 10:41Speaker 4: Josh made it come to fruition.
- 10:44Speaker 1: Yeah, he really did make it come to pass for sure.
- 10:46Speaker 6: And Sterling, It's funny because like as I was talking,
- 10:50Speaker 6: like when I was watching the season like transpiring, like
- 10:53Speaker 6: we're progressing through. I mean I picked my hands up,
- 10:56Speaker 6: I said ten and seven on that schedule release show,
- 10:58Speaker 6: I said ten and seven. That's what I thought, because
- 11:00Speaker 6: I thought that there was definitely a step back and
- 11:02Speaker 6: I was one of those people fighting to be honest
- 11:05Speaker 6: justice when fourteen left town because I thought that there
- 11:08Speaker 6: was going to be a massive hole left. Not only
- 11:10Speaker 6: has it not been a massive hole, but this this
- 11:12Speaker 6: whole community approach has kind of it's kind of worked again.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Host Amari Cooper is.
- 11:18Speaker 6: Really when it started working best because of the fact
- 11:20Speaker 6: that defense weren't able to exploit Mac Collins being the
- 11:22Speaker 6: number one wide receiver on the team, which he should
- 11:24Speaker 6: never be.
- 11:25Speaker 1: But how was it for you watching and consuming this
- 11:27Speaker 1: team this year?
- 11:28Speaker 6: Because Sterling this things just kind of changed and then
- 11:31Speaker 6: they just kept going up and it was like, man, this,
- 11:33Speaker 6: I can't even I did not see this coming.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Maybe you did.
- 11:35Speaker 2: I did not, No, I mean I didn't see them
- 11:39Speaker 2: being this good from a record standpoint, but I think
- 11:42Speaker 2: we get lost in the shuffle of you know, because
- 11:45Speaker 2: we were so spoiled of having multiple capable receivers at
- 11:49Speaker 2: one time, like Stefan dis Gabe Davis whatever we think
- 11:51Speaker 2: about him, and you know, the list goes on and on.
- 11:54Speaker 2: But I think it comes back down to when you
- 11:57Speaker 2: have the best player in football throwing the ball.
- 12:02Speaker 1: You know.
- 12:02Speaker 2: It kind of reminds me of like the Brady years
- 12:04Speaker 2: where they didn't have you know, they had Wes Welker
- 12:07Speaker 2: and they had Gronk. I mean, Gronk was into Hall
- 12:09Speaker 2: of Famer in his own right, but they necessarily didn't
- 12:12Speaker 2: have a go to number one guy. And you have,
- 12:15Speaker 2: you know, the best, in my opinion, the best quarterback
- 12:19Speaker 2: in the league, with an offensive coordinator who cut his
- 12:23Speaker 2: teeth on you know, being at LSU at twenty nineteen,
- 12:27Speaker 2: with those guys who brings a modern kind of flair
- 12:31Speaker 2: to your team, I think that's a great, great combination
- 12:35Speaker 2: for success. So I think what we've seen from Josh Allen,
- 12:38Speaker 2: I don't think we expected it, but it's our fault
- 12:41Speaker 2: because we should have expected it because he's a great player.
- 12:43Speaker 2: So it's been real nice to see man everybody eat.
- 12:47Speaker 2: I hate that Moniker I did.
- 12:50Speaker 1: I did like that.
- 12:51Speaker 2: It sounds it sounds so cheap and lame, but uh,
- 12:54Speaker 2: you know, I just think, man, it's like Josh. We
- 12:57Speaker 2: did say though, Josh Allen had to play point guard, right,
- 13:00Speaker 2: and Josh Allen's been playing point guards as good as
- 13:03Speaker 2: anybody in the league this year, and so I'm pretty
- 13:05Speaker 2: excited from what we seen thus far.
- 13:07Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I'm excited as well, DT, because we
- 13:10Speaker 6: talked about it as we getting ready to transition and
- 13:12Speaker 6: break down this matchups. It's just interesting because I'm like Sterling,
- 13:16Speaker 6: I didn't like everybody eats. I didn't you know, I
- 13:18Speaker 6: didn't agree with it, and you already know that you
- 13:20Speaker 6: had first first hand view of it. But it was
- 13:22Speaker 6: a situation where I mean, if it's working, it's working,
- 13:25Speaker 6: and then the running backs become more involved, and then
- 13:28Speaker 6: all of a sudden, I'm not even you know, Kincaid
- 13:30Speaker 6: goes out for weeks and like, I'm not even noticing
- 13:32Speaker 6: that he's not there, and then it was just it's
- 13:34Speaker 6: been interesting DT to watch this offense evolve, and I
- 13:37Speaker 6: think it speaks to what Justice had spoken about, is
- 13:39Speaker 6: that I mean, it seems like it seems like Brady
- 13:43Speaker 6: has like pushed all the right buttons and in sequence
- 13:46Speaker 6: and in the right order. And I didn't I didn't
- 13:48Speaker 6: necessarily think that that was in his back because I
- 13:50Speaker 6: didn't know much about him other than lsu and and
- 13:53Speaker 6: you know, Joe Burrow and all those guys down there.
- 13:55Speaker 6: But DT, this guy, we got to give him his
- 13:57Speaker 6: props because of the fact that I mean, he seems
- 13:59Speaker 6: to have really tapped into what really what Josh does best.
- 14:03Speaker 1: And that's what I love so much about Dabel.
- 14:05Speaker 6: Dabels seemed to be able to understand how to extract
- 14:08Speaker 6: the best out of seventeen.
- 14:09Speaker 1: And it seems like Brady is like right in tune
- 14:11Speaker 1: with this man.
- 14:13Speaker 7: Well, I think it's an opposite narrative of what's perceived,
- 14:16Speaker 7: like everybody eats of everybody gets a little you know,
- 14:20Speaker 7: we're talented enough all around the roster to be good.
- 14:23Speaker 7: But I think it's opposite. I think it's everybody like
- 14:27Speaker 7: that what you just said of Joe Brady being able
- 14:30Speaker 7: to to scheme a game plan.
- 14:32Speaker 3: And let Josh just this is where Josh is his best, you.
- 14:35Speaker 7: Know, like we saw we haven't seen this since Dable
- 14:39Speaker 7: in twenty and you know, and it's been sputtery here
- 14:43Speaker 7: and there in the meantime when we're trying to do
- 14:45Speaker 7: other things. And this has proven to us that this
- 14:47Speaker 7: is Josh's best when he has this type of game
- 14:51Speaker 7: plan where he doesn't have to zero in on somebody
- 14:53Speaker 7: and he could just be free. It's been the narrative
- 14:56Speaker 7: all season of how chill and free and zen he
- 15:00Speaker 7: is and how you know, he's just in a in
- 15:02Speaker 7: a in a flow state. And I think that's that's
- 15:05Speaker 7: just like you said it. Credit to Joe Brady and
- 15:07Speaker 7: the fact of being able to let Josh be his best,
- 15:11Speaker 7: and he is his best when it seems like he
- 15:13Speaker 7: doesn't have pressure for a specific game plan. It's just like,
- 15:16Speaker 7: here's what we're gonna do. All these guys are gonna
- 15:19Speaker 7: be open, get the ball where you need it to go,
- 15:21Speaker 7: and and let's put thirty on fucking everybody, you know.
- 15:23Speaker 7: So that's that's been the key. And it's not like
- 15:27Speaker 7: everybody eats. We don't have the talent around, so everybody's
- 15:30Speaker 7: gonna get a little. It's opposite. It's Josh being his
- 15:34Speaker 7: best because he doesn't have to go in a certain direction.
- 15:37Speaker 7: He can just kind of be himself and be free,
- 15:40Speaker 7: and that's been proven to be his best I think
- 15:41Speaker 7: his best year by far of his career. And going
- 15:44Speaker 7: into it being the first year of it being his team, you.
- 15:48Speaker 1: Know, let's go.
- 15:50Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I agree, you know, and as we
- 15:52Speaker 6: begin to transition, uh you know, it's it's funny because
- 15:56Speaker 6: as we look to this matchup, it all kind of
- 15:57Speaker 6: culminates on Sunday and and one of the things about
- 16:00Speaker 6: the playoffs that is so intriguing why it's the greatest
- 16:02Speaker 6: show is that you know, you have no idea what
- 16:04Speaker 6: the what the outcome is gonna be, but you do
- 16:06Speaker 6: know it's winner go home.
- 16:07Speaker 1: And that's one of the things that I do love.
- 16:08Speaker 6: I know, I appreciate basketball and hockey and and baseball
- 16:12Speaker 6: with their series is but there's something about March madness.
- 16:14Speaker 6: There's something about the NFL playoffs, uh justice, I mean,
- 16:18Speaker 6: it's it's it ticking them home the roofs that they
- 16:21Speaker 6: say on Sunday like this, there's nowhere to hide, man,
- 16:24Speaker 6: I mean, Sunday is is it. You got to bring
- 16:26Speaker 6: your best and if you don't bring your best, as
- 16:27Speaker 6: I said a couple of weeks ago, you better hope
- 16:29Speaker 6: your opponent doesn't either, because you could be you could.
- 16:31Speaker 1: Be in for a long offseason.
- 16:32Speaker 8: So just to speak on what DT said, because he
- 16:35Speaker 8: explained that perfectly about like the transition between day.
- 16:37Speaker 4: Ball and and Dorsey.
- 16:39Speaker 2: Uh.
- 16:40Speaker 8: I kind of look at it as like when when Clark,
- 16:43Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying, When kal El Kark klint
- 16:45Speaker 8: right when he's a teenager and he started realizing like,
- 16:47Speaker 8: oh I got to pick up trucks, you know what
- 16:49Speaker 8: I mean, I could pull the Paul off the ground, right,
- 16:52Speaker 8: and you start chucking stuff across them the lake and
- 16:55Speaker 8: trying to test out your power.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, that's kind of.
- 16:58Speaker 4: How I feel like it was with Dayball.
- 17:00Speaker 8: Right, it's five wide every play, you know, Josh just
- 17:04Speaker 8: go out there and figure it out, you know, and
- 17:07Speaker 8: he learned how to become Superman.
- 17:09Speaker 1: Right.
- 17:10Speaker 8: But Brady kind of reminds me of like, you know,
- 17:13Speaker 8: when when you get your job and you get your
- 17:16Speaker 8: wife and you got to start settling down. You got
- 17:18Speaker 8: to go to work today every day and you get
- 17:20Speaker 8: a routine and everything is a lot more serene.
- 17:23Speaker 4: You know, you're more peaceful because.
- 17:26Speaker 8: You you have your day to day life that you're
- 17:28Speaker 8: comfortable with, right, and then you can still take off
- 17:30Speaker 8: that jacket shirt of night, and you can still pull
- 17:34Speaker 8: out the cape when need be. But for right now,
- 17:37Speaker 8: I'm gonna go to work as a reporter and wear
- 17:39Speaker 8: these glasses, you know what I'm saying, because I have
- 17:42Speaker 8: teammates that can do what they need to do, right.
- 17:45Speaker 8: So that's kind of how I see it with Brady. Now,
- 17:48Speaker 8: Brady's almost like Louis Lane. Right, calm me down, right,
- 17:51Speaker 8: put you in a.
- 17:52Speaker 1: Good mindset, mindset.
- 17:53Speaker 4: It ain't chaotic all the time like it was under
- 17:56Speaker 4: day ball.
- 17:56Speaker 1: Right.
- 17:58Speaker 8: But again, most points in team history, most touchdowns in
- 18:01Speaker 8: team history, really obviously has been doing the damn thing
- 18:03Speaker 8: this year. So the thing, it's the playoffs. So you're
- 18:08Speaker 8: always gonna be nervous no matter what game you're headed into.
- 18:11Speaker 1: Right.
- 18:11Speaker 4: The thing that makes me feel a A.
- 18:12Speaker 8: We're undefeated at home this season, right straight A, No,
- 18:16Speaker 8: didn't take anything close to a l right, and then
- 18:20Speaker 8: McDermott is basically undefeated against rookie quarterbacks, sayings Drake May
- 18:26Speaker 8: last week, which really didn't count because we wanted to
- 18:28Speaker 8: lose that game as far as some concerned. And the
- 18:32Speaker 8: Broncos have been kind of trashed away from Denver this year.
- 18:35Speaker 8: So all that being said, and it's the playoffs where
- 18:39Speaker 8: Drake may like, you got a say what you want
- 18:41Speaker 8: about the Bills defense, but it is totally different game
- 18:44Speaker 8: in the playoffs versus the best teams in the world.
- 18:46Speaker 8: You got to look across the field and see seventeen Like,
- 18:48Speaker 8: that's gonna be a different kind of pressure. So I
- 18:51Speaker 8: feel generally comfortable with Sunday. I really want to like
- 18:58Speaker 8: tear them apart, right, you know what I'm saying. I
- 18:59Speaker 8: want to I want to send a message to whoever
- 19:03Speaker 8: we see in the next round, because I'm not totally
- 19:05Speaker 8: convinced that the Ravens is gonna win, So I want
- 19:08Speaker 8: to I want to send a message to whoever we.
- 19:10Speaker 4: See in the next round and kind of use them
- 19:12Speaker 4: as like a sacrificial lamb. Almost.
- 19:16Speaker 6: Wow, Sterly, you hear all this bravado coming from from
- 19:19Speaker 6: Ja seventeen Justice, I mean I was calm, That was
- 19:22Speaker 6: me being modest, be a modest So clearly, what what
- 19:27Speaker 6: what are your thoughts as we get ready to break
- 19:29Speaker 6: down this game, because I mean, you look at it
- 19:32Speaker 6: and yeah, my my anxiety is on is on level
- 19:35Speaker 6: ten for sure, but that's just because not that I
- 19:37Speaker 6: don't think that they were the better team, because I
- 19:39Speaker 6: clearly do think that we are a better football team.
- 19:41Speaker 6: But it's just the finanalite of the playoffs. That's what
- 19:43Speaker 6: I spoke about last week. It always just gets me
- 19:45Speaker 6: on edge. I said that it's got it gets my
- 19:47Speaker 6: spidy senses, my Bill's Spidey sense is tingling because I
- 19:50Speaker 6: don't want any type of slip ups. I don't want
- 19:52Speaker 6: any type of slow game. And then in respects to Denver,
- 19:55Speaker 6: they might even try to slow down the game, which
- 19:57Speaker 6: means that limits Josh Allen's possession.
- 19:59Speaker 1: So I just I don't know. I'm on hyper awareness.
- 20:01Speaker 4: Man.
- 20:02Speaker 1: How do you feel on the eve of the playoffs?
- 20:04Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I think all those feelings are fair.
- 20:06Speaker 2: I mean justice has a point, though, I mean, listen, uh,
- 20:10Speaker 2: I think you gotta respect every opponent, right that that
- 20:13Speaker 2: comes first. But the Broncos have only won two games
- 20:18Speaker 2: against teams that are in the playoffs, and really one
- 20:22Speaker 2: of those games was against the Chiefs, so you know,
- 20:24Speaker 2: you kind of hold that one like, okay, does it
- 20:25Speaker 2: really count because they didn't play any starters. But I
- 20:29Speaker 2: think the anxiety is there. It's just not for me.
- 20:32Speaker 2: It's just not for this week. I think when you
- 20:35Speaker 2: get to the divisional round, you see uh, you know,
- 20:38Speaker 2: whoever the Ravens or whoever it may be, I think
- 20:41Speaker 2: that's where the for me, that's where the playoffs start.
- 20:44Speaker 2: But for this game particularly, I mean I think there's
- 20:48Speaker 2: some real definite advantages. I know Dever has you know,
- 20:51Speaker 2: a really really good defense, but it's not a scheme
- 20:54Speaker 2: that Josh hasn't seen. He's played against Vance Joseph defense
- 20:57Speaker 2: is and fared well. You know when you talk about
- 21:01Speaker 2: you know how much they blitz. I mean the Broncos,
- 21:04Speaker 2: I think they're they're a blitz rate is like second
- 21:06Speaker 2: to third in the league. If if I'm not mistaken,
- 21:08Speaker 2: second okay second.
- 21:09Speaker 5: In the league.
- 21:10Speaker 2: And then you know, Josh Allen against the blitz, he'll
- 21:14Speaker 2: be able to use his legs because what that's gonna
- 21:15Speaker 2: do is open up running rushlanes.
- 21:17Speaker 1: Right, So.
- 21:19Speaker 2: I mean yeah, I just think that when you when
- 21:22Speaker 2: you look at those things. Now, the defense for us,
- 21:24Speaker 2: I mean, look, they can completely fuck this game up,
- 21:27Speaker 2: and we you know, I think so, right, I don't
- 21:31Speaker 2: have a I don't have an issue with our offense.
- 21:33Speaker 2: So like, in order for the Bills to win the
- 21:35Speaker 2: Super Bowl, they have to go out and score thirty
- 21:38Speaker 2: plus every game, and thirty is the least amount they
- 21:42Speaker 2: can score. You know what I'm saying, because I just
- 21:44Speaker 2: don't have much faith in his defense. And you know,
- 21:47Speaker 2: you want to know what I'm like skeptical about, and
- 21:50Speaker 2: it's the fact that you know, when they say, well
- 21:52Speaker 2: we have we really haven't put everything out there offensively
- 21:56Speaker 2: or defensively, I'm.
- 21:57Speaker 5: Like, okay, but like, what are we gonna see?
- 22:01Speaker 2: Like, so I'm more interested to see from a schematic
- 22:03Speaker 2: standpoint offensive and defensively. Like defensively, are you gonna be
- 22:07Speaker 2: playing all that zone covers? Are you gonna lean a
- 22:10Speaker 2: little bit more than man maybe like in the man covers?
- 22:13Speaker 1: That'd be nice, right because of my thoughts, Yeah, all week?
- 22:20Speaker 1: Yeah you do.
- 22:21Speaker 2: Listen, you do that and your players don't have to
- 22:23Speaker 2: think as much. They can just go out and play
- 22:25Speaker 2: and be free, right, I think that'd be That would
- 22:28Speaker 2: be great. But for this week though, you know, having
- 22:32Speaker 2: that defense and kind of switching the coverages in the
- 22:35Speaker 2: back end, like like the Bills do, I think, you know,
- 22:38Speaker 2: changing the pitcher post snap for bow Nicks. I'm curious
- 22:41Speaker 2: to see how he answers to what the pitcher is
- 22:45Speaker 2: gonna look like post snap, So if he can do that,
- 22:47Speaker 2: I mean, I think they can find some success on offense.
- 22:49Speaker 2: But I think the Bills win this game. I think
- 22:52Speaker 2: they win it by at least ten points. And the
- 22:54Speaker 2: playoffs for me starting next week.
- 22:56Speaker 1: Wow, DT, as we transition, DT, you hear that, Bravida.
- 23:00Speaker 6: I mean, these I brought up some fellas that they
- 23:02Speaker 6: are consistent in their confidence and I have to respect
- 23:06Speaker 6: that for sure. The playoffs definitely start Sunday for me
- 23:09Speaker 6: because I just have seen too many things where things
- 23:12Speaker 6: can go bad. So I'm not coming in pessimistically, but
- 23:15Speaker 6: I will be on pens and needles the entire night now.

- 23:44Speaker 6: Buffalo sabers, and Buffalo City team themed t shirts.
- 23:47Speaker 1: Excuse me, DT, as we start to peel back.
- 23:51Speaker 6: This onion is funny because Sterling talked about something that
- 23:53Speaker 6: you talked about last week, and that was how one
- 23:56Speaker 6: of the things that they do best we dominated they've
- 23:59Speaker 6: blit and they love to get after the quarterback. I
- 24:01Speaker 6: think they got over sixty sacks tops in the league
- 24:04Speaker 6: or top two or three in the league.
- 24:05Speaker 1: And then what does Josh do.
- 24:07Speaker 6: He's number one in sack avoiding since they even came
- 24:10Speaker 6: up with the metric back in like nine or something
- 24:11Speaker 6: like that. DT, I'm looking at this matchup and I
- 24:15Speaker 6: was starting I was listening to gr and some shit
- 24:18Speaker 6: shook me and I wanted to hear all of your
- 24:19Speaker 6: opinions on it. But DT, when it comes to that
- 24:22Speaker 6: defense that Sterling was talking about, I mean, they can
- 24:26Speaker 6: get after the quarterback and I have to give them
- 24:28Speaker 6: credit for that, and they do like to blitz and
- 24:29Speaker 6: they are aggressive with that vance Joseph defense. But I mean,
- 24:33Speaker 6: I have a tough time with what sterling Get said,
- 24:35Speaker 6: Like there's no way that you want to blitz Josh
- 24:37Speaker 6: Allen all day. He actually has his QBR goes up
- 24:40Speaker 6: under pressure, which doesn't make any fucking sense. I don't
- 24:42Speaker 6: know how that's true, but he actually gets better under pressure.
- 24:46Speaker 6: I can't believe that that Denver would want to employ
- 24:50Speaker 6: that game plan, Like, I just don't think that. I
- 24:52Speaker 6: think it would be nuts for them to even try
- 24:53Speaker 6: to do something like that.
- 24:54Speaker 3: Well it's QBR against the blitz is one hundred and
- 24:56Speaker 3: twenty three.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Yes, it doesn't make any sense, which is.
- 25:00Speaker 7: I mean, I can't if I put Madden on rookie
- 25:02Speaker 7: mode right now, I might not even be able to
- 25:04Speaker 7: get to one twenty three. Like that's that's real shit,
- 25:07Speaker 7: Like that's that's true. But obviously Denver knows that going in,
- 25:11Speaker 7: you know, Devil's Advocate a little on this. They lead
- 25:13Speaker 7: the league in sacks, and just because Josh Allen doesn't
- 25:16Speaker 7: take sacks doesn't mean we're just you know, immortal from sacks. Right,
- 25:20Speaker 7: They're gonna give us different looks, different pressures all over,
- 25:23Speaker 7: different blitzes and try to try to mess with his
- 25:25Speaker 7: head a little bit.
- 25:26Speaker 3: But you look around the league. When they played these
- 25:29Speaker 3: top quarterbacks, they got to them.
- 25:30Speaker 7: You know, Lamar Jackson, they had four sacks against Joe
- 25:33Speaker 7: Burrow the other couple of weeks ago. They had three
- 25:35Speaker 7: sacks against when they played Kansas City earlier in the
- 25:37Speaker 7: year and should have definitely won the game on that
- 25:40Speaker 7: bs blockfield goal whatever.
- 25:42Speaker 3: Right, They sacked Mahomes five times that game.
- 25:44Speaker 7: You know, so these top tier Joe Burrow does take sacks,
- 25:47Speaker 7: but Lamar and Mahomes really don't.
- 25:50Speaker 1: Right.
- 25:50Speaker 7: So these these are guys right up there with Josh
- 25:53Speaker 7: Allen and getting away from sacks, getting you know, you
- 25:56Speaker 7: can't touch them, and it's tough to get to them.
- 25:58Speaker 7: They got to those guys during during the right season.
- 26:00Speaker 7: Now it's a whole different mindset here, it's a whole
- 26:02Speaker 7: different atmosphere. It's a whole different cup of tea. But
- 26:06Speaker 7: Justine said it the best, like it's really like we
- 26:09Speaker 7: can get They're a worthy opponent. They deserve to be
- 26:12Speaker 7: in the seventh seed, no doubt about it. I'm a
- 26:15Speaker 7: little pissed off because now bow Knicks is probably gonna
- 26:18Speaker 7: be a stud not but we got another QB in
- 26:21Speaker 7: the another QB in the AFC. That might be a problem,
- 26:24Speaker 7: and that's just kind of annoying. But the overall whelming
- 26:28Speaker 7: thing is they got to look across the field and
- 26:30Speaker 7: plan for seventeen. You know, we're a little nervous. Yeah,
- 26:32Speaker 7: they got a good defense.
- 26:33Speaker 3: Patrick's air ten is pretty is shut down as it
- 26:35Speaker 3: gets right now.
- 26:37Speaker 7: You know, they got guys swing around and they make
- 26:39Speaker 7: plays and it's a it's a good d but they
- 26:42Speaker 7: got they got to prepare for seventeen. And that's that's
- 26:44Speaker 7: a hell of a job to come in on the
- 26:46Speaker 7: road and do I think it comes down to, you know,
- 26:48Speaker 7: the fact of the matter of Josh, it's a quarterback league.
- 26:51Speaker 7: It's quarterback driven. When the Eagles had the best defense
- 26:55Speaker 7: in ages a couple of years ago, they didn't touch
- 26:58Speaker 7: that long yeah, and it was the over hit by
- 27:02Speaker 7: twenty five points. So it comes down to a quarterback league,
- 27:05Speaker 7: and it's one to seven going against a good defense,
- 27:09Speaker 7: which and then on the other side he got Bonnicks
- 27:12Speaker 7: going against the Mafia and a defensive minded Sean McDermott.
- 27:18Speaker 7: I've seen Josh Allen carve up a good defense on
- 27:21Speaker 7: multiple occasions. Does it for a living, does it most weeks,
- 27:25Speaker 7: carves up good defense and justice said, he's carved up
- 27:27Speaker 7: Van Joseph defenses. I've never seen bon Knicks take on
- 27:31Speaker 7: and beat the mafia, And not saying he can't do it,
- 27:33Speaker 7: but I'm just going with what I know, and I
- 27:35Speaker 7: know seventeen can carve up a good d and get
- 27:37Speaker 7: out of the blitz and it actually is beneficial if
- 27:40Speaker 7: you do blitz him because he has that one twenty
- 27:42Speaker 7: three QB rating. But I've never seen bone Nicks do
- 27:44Speaker 7: it on the opposite way and battle the mafia in
- 27:46Speaker 7: that regard. So that's kind of where I stand with it.
- 27:49Speaker 7: They're a worthy opponent, they deserve to be here, great accolades,
- 27:52Speaker 7: they're gonna be bon Nicks is probably gonna be a
- 27:54Speaker 7: problem in the future. But when it comes down Sunday
- 27:58Speaker 7: kick one pm, seventeen going up with a good defense,
- 28:02Speaker 7: when have we been worried about a good defense all year?
- 28:05Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 28:05Speaker 7: When if we've been worried about a good defense all year?
- 28:07Speaker 7: We're a little worried about our defense here and there, whatever,
- 28:10Speaker 7: especially after those back to back forty point games, But
- 28:12Speaker 7: when have we been worried about a good defense going
- 28:15Speaker 7: up against us all year we have and that's that's
- 28:17Speaker 7: what it comes down to Sunday.
- 28:19Speaker 6: You know, it's it's funny, and I love the points
- 28:23Speaker 6: with Sterling, and I love the points with DT.
- 28:25Speaker 1: You know you my road dog.
- 28:27Speaker 6: Listen, Justice, I'm just all I'm trying to do is
- 28:30Speaker 6: cover every base that I can so that when I
- 28:32Speaker 6: sit down and we'll get to the Nichol City Crew
- 28:34Speaker 6: Tail game report at the end of the show.
- 28:36Speaker 1: Listen, I just want to sit down.
- 28:38Speaker 6: I want to watch the game, and I want to
- 28:39Speaker 6: feel as good as I can about it, and I
- 28:42Speaker 6: want to feel as stress free as I.
- 28:43Speaker 1: Can, and maybe maybe Sterling's right.
- 28:45Speaker 6: We come out, they whooped that ass, and we win
- 28:47Speaker 6: by fourteen, and it's a stress free day and everybody's
- 28:49Speaker 6: enjoying it as kumbay ya. Justice, Please just tell me
- 28:53Speaker 6: I heard something on WGR today that I hadn't thought about.
- 28:55Speaker 1: But I don't know why I didn't think about it earlier.
- 28:58Speaker 6: What if Sean Payton comes out and says, let's the
- 29:00Speaker 6: damn game down, much like the Bills decided to which
- 29:03Speaker 6: I stupidly, I stupidly said that that was not the
- 29:06Speaker 6: good game play last year, against Kansas City. Don't limit
- 29:08Speaker 6: your possessions because you also limit Josh Allen's possession.
- 29:12Speaker 1: So go ahead, go toe to toe with them.
- 29:14Speaker 6: I understand that you've got some leakiness on the defense,
- 29:16Speaker 6: but you gotta try to outscore them, like still gonna
- 29:18Speaker 6: say you're gonna win a Super Bowl.
- 29:19Speaker 1: You gotta score thirty plus every game at minimum.
- 29:22Speaker 6: Justice, what if Sean Payton tries to slow this fucking
- 29:24Speaker 6: game down where it's twelve to fourteen play drives and
- 29:27Speaker 6: if you say turnovers, I just want to remind you
- 29:30Speaker 6: that it is really hard to predict turnovers.
- 29:32Speaker 1: The floor is yours.
- 29:33Speaker 4: It is hard to predict turnovers.
- 29:35Speaker 2: You are all right.
- 29:35Speaker 8: However, the Bills have the best plus minus in the
- 29:37Speaker 8: league in turnover differential.
- 29:39Speaker 4: So there's that they don't turn the ball over and
- 29:42Speaker 4: they get a lot of turnovers. That's just how they play.
- 29:46Speaker 4: So there's that.
- 29:47Speaker 8: But also not only that, but if you gotta if
- 29:49Speaker 8: you want to slow the ball down, if you want
- 29:51Speaker 8: to slow the game down, you have to have a
- 29:53Speaker 8: quarterback that's ready to do that, right, Okay, because it's
- 29:57Speaker 8: fourteen play drive, Yeah, typically you want to do two runs,
- 30:02Speaker 8: pass two runs, pass two runs right because you get
- 30:06Speaker 8: down the third and short second in medium, et cetera.
- 30:10Speaker 8: But then you have to have a quarterback that's prepared
- 30:12Speaker 8: to make the play when the play is needed to
- 30:15Speaker 8: be made on third and potentially fourth down. And that
- 30:20Speaker 8: is a lot to kind of ask of a rookie
- 30:22Speaker 8: versus a Sean McDermott defense. I'm not saying that our
- 30:26Speaker 8: defense is great. I'm not saying that our defense is good.
- 30:30Speaker 8: But Sean McDermott is a great defensive coach. And I
- 30:33Speaker 8: think that what you see throughout the regular season in
- 30:36Speaker 8: any given week where Sean or where Matt Stafford is
- 30:40Speaker 8: playing like a Demi god, or you know, you're going
- 30:43Speaker 8: up against the Lions offense, which led the league in
- 30:46Speaker 8: points per game. Outside of that, you know, saw mc
- 30:49Speaker 8: neurmy don't tend to have too many problems. Like you know,
- 30:52Speaker 8: it ain't the best defense in the world, but it
- 30:54Speaker 8: ain't a slouch either. You know, they've been don't break
- 30:58Speaker 8: It's not like they allow an exorbitant amount of points
- 31:01Speaker 8: on a regular basis, so they've been.
- 31:04Speaker 4: A little bit worried about it.
- 31:07Speaker 8: I could see, like to your to your point, I
- 31:09Speaker 8: could see maybe like in the first quarter seven to
- 31:13Speaker 8: three or like in the first quarter, you know, three
- 31:16Speaker 8: zero or something like that. That would be probably a
- 31:19Speaker 8: good thing for the Broncos, right, but you also gotta
- 31:25Speaker 8: you gotta take Josh Allen out of playoff mode. You know,
- 31:28Speaker 8: you gotta make Josh uncomfortable at high mark, which is
- 31:32Speaker 8: hard as hell to do. Now, you know, best best
- 31:36Speaker 8: rushing I'm sorry, best pass rushing the league, but you
- 31:39Speaker 8: going up against the best sack avoidance QB in the league.
- 31:42Speaker 8: So you know, it's it's strength versus strength in a
- 31:45Speaker 8: lot of different ways. It to me, it really just
- 31:48Speaker 8: comes down to a all time great quarterback versus a
- 31:53Speaker 8: rookie quarterback.
- 31:54Speaker 4: That's really what the biggest difference in this game.
- 31:57Speaker 8: And so I'm not saying even that the Broncos are
- 31:58Speaker 8: bad team, just have a rookie quarterback, which is really
- 32:01Speaker 8: unfortunate for them because maybe next year they'll probably be
- 32:05Speaker 8: more of a threat or so.
- 32:08Speaker 4: And I'm not even saying that not threat.
- 32:09Speaker 1: I mean they say that he's got all those college
- 32:11Speaker 1: starts in Auburn.
- 32:15Speaker 5: Hold on, man, we got.
- 32:16Speaker 2: To give some respect to Sean Payton and bow Knicks
- 32:20Speaker 2: because number one bo Nicks started his career at Auburn.
- 32:24Speaker 1: Yes, that's.
- 32:27Speaker 2: As crazy as Buffalo going to Oregon. I mean this, dude,
- 32:30Speaker 2: you talk about a grizzled quarterback. I mean, the kid
- 32:33Speaker 2: had over thirty testdowns and show. We can't act like
- 32:35Speaker 2: he's just he's trashed.
- 32:38Speaker 4: Sand from seventeen.
- 32:39Speaker 1: It's a different annimal.
- 32:40Speaker 5: But yeah, but josh ain't playing defense.
- 32:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 32:42Speaker 2: All I'm all I'm saying is like you know, we
- 32:45Speaker 2: talk about if they do try to slow the game down,
- 32:48Speaker 2: I think that's probably the best course of action, just
- 32:52Speaker 2: because you have a quarterback.
- 32:54Speaker 5: If you can get it.
- 32:54Speaker 2: To third and short, third and four consistently, you have
- 32:58Speaker 2: a quarterback that is really good, good at extending plays
- 33:01Speaker 2: and making things happen with his legs. And also, let
- 33:04Speaker 2: no keep in mind too, the Bills aren't that good
- 33:07Speaker 2: in terms of keeping their pass rush integrity and their
- 33:09Speaker 2: rush lane. So there is a recipe for them to
- 33:12Speaker 2: stick with the Bills in terms of points on our defense,
- 33:15Speaker 2: I just think down and.
- 33:18Speaker 5: We're one of the worst third down defenses.
- 33:20Speaker 2: That's what I was saying, Like they I want to
- 33:22Speaker 2: see what adjustments the Bills defense makes, Like you know,
- 33:26Speaker 2: the first half of those of the games that we
- 33:28Speaker 2: typically see like the first drive, for instance, teams marshal
- 33:31Speaker 2: ball down the field on us all day and the
- 33:33Speaker 2: first half were pretty bad on defense in the first half.
- 33:35Speaker 2: Now they kind of make adjustments at halftime moving forward.
- 33:38Speaker 2: I give them credit for that. But in the playoffs,
- 33:41Speaker 2: the margin for air is so small. They gotta they got.
- 33:43Speaker 5: That has to be four quarters, you know what I'm saying.
- 33:46Speaker 5: So that's what I'm saying.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Like, I don't care if the if the Bills win
- 33:49Speaker 2: by three points, I'm happy right because for me, the
- 33:51Speaker 2: playoffs start next week.
- 33:53Speaker 5: This is the wildcard weekend. To me, is a trap weekend.
- 33:56Speaker 1: Bro.
- 33:56Speaker 2: Like you, you come in here and you just think
- 33:59Speaker 2: shit is sweet. You're gonna get you know what I'm saying.
- 34:02Speaker 2: I'm not saying the Bills are gonna lose, but I
- 34:04Speaker 2: don't want to. I don't want fans to think that
- 34:05Speaker 2: boon Nicks ain't ship because Bonnicks had a really good
- 34:08Speaker 2: season and he is a big play waiting happened.
- 34:10Speaker 8: I agree with everything Sterling said. I don't want to
- 34:13Speaker 8: take nothing away from it. My point in saying pointing
- 34:17Speaker 8: out the fact that he's a rookie quarterback is if
- 34:19Speaker 8: you don't make those plays on third down off the field.
- 34:27Speaker 8: So that's that's that's my only point, because that pressure
- 34:29Speaker 8: is going to mount up real quick from rookie quarterback
- 34:33Speaker 8: in the playoffs.
- 34:33Speaker 4: That's that's all I'm saying.
- 34:34Speaker 7: Yeah, our margin of is small, but there's is mine.
- 34:38Speaker 7: You know, their their margin is minute.
- 34:40Speaker 3: School.
- 34:41Speaker 7: I will say I watched a lot of Broncos games
- 34:43Speaker 7: this year obviously, you know, you know three thirty's got
- 34:45Speaker 7: a little connection there and the Bills playing on you know,
- 34:49Speaker 7: prime time a lot led to me, you know, being
- 34:51Speaker 7: able to tune in at four o'clock to a lot
- 34:53Speaker 7: of these Broncos games. And what I my point earlier
- 34:56Speaker 7: was like, I'm upset that another good quarterbacks in the
- 34:59Speaker 7: ANFC because I think bo Nicks will be a good
- 35:01Speaker 7: quarterback in this league because he's got a little one
- 35:04Speaker 7: to seven in them. You know, he's got that gamer,
- 35:06Speaker 7: he's got that chip on his shoulder, he's got that
- 35:08Speaker 7: unorthodox style of play where he's gonna do whatever he's
- 35:11Speaker 7: got to do to get the play done and make
- 35:13Speaker 7: crazy throws and do crazy runs and put his body
- 35:16Speaker 7: on the line to get the first down.
- 35:17Speaker 3: And that's a lot of why we love one seven.
- 35:20Speaker 7: But with that, you know, when we talk about slowing
- 35:24Speaker 7: the game down all year, boon Knicks was a lot
- 35:27Speaker 7: better when he was out there free playing and they
- 35:30Speaker 7: were going deep, and they were pushing deep down the field,
- 35:32Speaker 7: and they were making big plays.
- 35:34Speaker 1: The intermediate sean when they opened it up a.
- 35:38Speaker 7: Little bit, he was a lot better than when he
- 35:40Speaker 7: was under the constitution or under the construct, not the constitution,
- 35:45Speaker 7: the institution, if you will, right, And same with Josh,
- 35:48Speaker 7: what let Josh be Josh. Don't let him you know,
- 35:51Speaker 7: let him run, let him let him break out. Why
- 35:53Speaker 7: why are you trying to cramp him down and put
- 35:55Speaker 7: all this regulation on him? And what were we talking
- 35:57Speaker 7: about in the first game last year against the Jets,
- 35:59Speaker 7: the the middle positive or whatever bullshit? That was right,
- 36:03Speaker 7: and that was like when he was his worst, and
- 36:05Speaker 7: I think bon Nix is very similar. So if we're
- 36:07Speaker 7: talking about slowing the game down and and not letting
- 36:10Speaker 7: him be the gamer he is, you know, I think
- 36:13Speaker 7: that's that's not good for the Broncos.
- 36:15Speaker 3: You know, So I don't know if they're gonna go
- 36:17Speaker 3: that route.
- 36:18Speaker 7: I would like him to do that because I'd like
- 36:20Speaker 7: to see him kind of shell up and not use
- 36:22Speaker 7: his traits, not use him trying to be a gamer
- 36:24Speaker 7: against us, and try to slow it down.
- 36:26Speaker 3: But I don't think it's gonna.
- 36:26Speaker 1: Fair to run. He likes to run too. I think
- 36:29Speaker 1: it's a lot.
- 36:29Speaker 7: Better for them if he's a little freer, you know,
- 36:32Speaker 7: more free, not freer, more free. It will make it
- 36:35Speaker 7: make a cleaner game plan for the Broncos. If bon
- 36:38Speaker 7: nix Is plays in a free state.
- 36:41Speaker 1: Wow.
- 36:41Speaker 6: Interesting, it's funny when we look at it, you know,
- 36:44Speaker 6: and Sterling get I want you both you and Justice
- 36:46Speaker 6: to touch on this as we begin to wrap up tonight.
- 36:49Speaker 1: But I mean when you look at the matchup.
- 36:50Speaker 6: Okay, again, you guys said that the playoffs don't start
- 36:53Speaker 6: till till next week the division.
- 36:54Speaker 1: I get that again, in the interest of being thorough.
- 36:58Speaker 8: One of the things, all the stuff I said, Now,
- 37:00Speaker 8: that's the most bolls.
- 37:03Speaker 1: That's bullshit.
- 37:04Speaker 6: Yeah, because I've never sail about this game, not because
- 37:08Speaker 6: I think we're going to, but just because the fact
- 37:10Speaker 6: that I've seen everything happen. So what I wanted you
- 37:12Speaker 6: guys to throw around was that when we okay, let's
- 37:15Speaker 6: say let's say that Baltimore, excuse me, that Let's say
- 37:18Speaker 6: that Denver runs their normal game plan. They're not going
- 37:20Speaker 6: to necessarily try to limit possessions. It's just going to
- 37:22Speaker 6: come out straight up and try to play us. The
- 37:25Speaker 6: defense for Sean MCDERMOTTT and Sterling already hit on it
- 37:28Speaker 6: a little bit, but justice, listen, don't. I don't know
- 37:31Speaker 6: any other way to massage I for Bill's mafia. Sean
- 37:35Speaker 6: McDermott has not fielded great defense in the postseason for
- 37:39Speaker 6: the Bills.
- 37:39Speaker 3: Now.
- 37:40Speaker 6: Number one thing out here is injuries. We're healthy. I
- 37:43Speaker 6: don't want to hear that shit on Sunday night. The
- 37:46Speaker 6: other thing that I hear is that, well, there was
- 37:48Speaker 6: somebody else's call, or it was somebody else's responsibility going
- 37:51Speaker 6: back to thirteen seconds and this, and that they want
- 37:53Speaker 6: to blame Fraser.
- 37:54Speaker 1: Listen, Sean McDermott CEO, he's running the whole ship.
- 37:58Speaker 6: I don't want any excuses on Sunday night, whether it's
- 38:01Speaker 6: a three point win like Sterling said, or whether we
- 38:03Speaker 6: blow their asses out by twenty one. I don't want
- 38:05Speaker 6: any excuses about injuries. I don't want any excuses about well,
- 38:09Speaker 6: we didn't come to play or anything like that. God
- 38:10Speaker 6: forbid we lose justice, what could derail us? Because again
- 38:15Speaker 6: McDermott has never he's never fielded a good defense in
- 38:18Speaker 6: the playoff. And it's it's historically factual. If y'all want
- 38:21Speaker 6: to fight me on the Bills mafia, go ahead and
- 38:22Speaker 6: fight me on it, but make sure you bring your
- 38:23Speaker 6: stats beforehand. I've seen Skylar Thompson almost beat us in
- 38:27Speaker 6: at the Ralph. I've seen, you know, situations where we
- 38:31Speaker 6: had no business losing that game to Kansas City. It
- 38:34Speaker 6: wasn't on Stefan Dicks drops in the pass. It was
- 38:36Speaker 6: the eight explosive plays that the defense gave.
- 38:39Speaker 1: Up that day. We had no chance.
- 38:40Speaker 6: It was almost a blowout had it not been PSSD.
- 38:44Speaker 6: Almost been a blowout had it not been for that
- 38:46Speaker 6: fund let the goal line. So let's keep it all
- 38:48Speaker 6: the way funking. You know we do that here at
- 38:49Speaker 6: neg City group doesn't. I don't give a fuck what
- 38:51Speaker 6: you're talking. So listen, what are we looking at? Sean
- 38:56Speaker 6: m our head coach. Our head coach has never fielded
- 38:59Speaker 6: a great defense postseason.
- 39:00Speaker 1: It's it's that is true.
- 39:03Speaker 7: But and going up, this is the best wild card
- 39:06Speaker 7: quarterback we've played in in the era of Josh Allen.
- 39:09Speaker 7: I mean you can argue a little bit with Deshaun
- 39:11Speaker 7: Watson in the first playoff appearance.
- 39:16Speaker 3: But you know, then go down the line, go down
- 39:19Speaker 3: the line.
- 39:19Speaker 1: After that, you had.
- 39:22Speaker 3: The year after the Texans.
- 39:24Speaker 1: Matt you had Philip Rivers on his last Philip Rivers.
- 39:27Speaker 3: I mean that was kind of a bullshit put together team.
- 39:30Speaker 1: We almost looked that game up.
- 39:31Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you go the year after.
- 39:36Speaker 6: To it, we had Lamar After that that was Johnson
- 39:40Speaker 6: game game just wild cards, straight up wild cards.
- 39:45Speaker 7: So you had Philip Rivers. Then the next year you
- 39:48Speaker 7: go and you got Mac Jones. The year after I
- 39:55Speaker 7: go in with Skyler Thompson and then last year's Mason Rudolph.
- 39:59Speaker 7: This is this is the best the best team you're
- 40:01Speaker 7: playing in the in the wild card since this is
- 40:04Speaker 7: Josh Aaron Seans.
- 40:07Speaker 1: So you know, you got it.
- 40:08Speaker 7: You're gonna have to come correct that. You you have
- 40:10Speaker 7: some other things in your favor. You know, you have
- 40:12Speaker 7: the him being a rookie, have him being able. He
- 40:15Speaker 7: hasn't seen everything, so you're able to kind of mess
- 40:18Speaker 7: with them in that way. You have the mafia behind you,
- 40:21Speaker 7: You have the veteran leadership when you need it. But
- 40:23Speaker 7: what I think it comes down to, and we talk
- 40:25Speaker 7: about it all the time, is the line of scrimmage,
- 40:27Speaker 7: and this defensive line needs to show me something Sunday.
- 40:30Speaker 7: If the playoffs start next week, the defensive line needs
- 40:32Speaker 7: to start their playoffs this week because whoever we play
- 40:35Speaker 7: next week is going to.
- 40:36Speaker 3: Be an issue infinite.
- 40:41Speaker 7: We can't get we can't get our shit kicked in
- 40:42Speaker 7: if it's the Ravens and get ran over again. Even
- 40:45Speaker 7: if it's the Chargers or or the Texans. You know,
- 40:47Speaker 7: the defensive line and play good in those games either.
- 40:49Speaker 7: So the we need to produce on the defensive line
- 40:54Speaker 7: big on Sunday, and I think that's gonna be the key. Obviously,
- 40:57Speaker 7: there's the rookie quarterback. We're going to show them different
- 40:59Speaker 7: things the off. He is going to be loud and
- 41:01Speaker 7: make it tough for him. But the defensive line needs
- 41:03Speaker 7: to have a game. They need to have confidence. They
- 41:05Speaker 7: need to get pumped up because if they don't have
- 41:07Speaker 7: a good game and they go into next week playing
- 41:09Speaker 7: like they've kind of been limping all year into we're
- 41:12Speaker 7: gonna get our.
- 41:12Speaker 6: Ask Jets Justice, what what what are you are you
- 41:16Speaker 6: confident in in your head coach, you're I mean, are
- 41:19Speaker 6: you ready to go?
- 41:19Speaker 1: You're ready to roll?
- 41:20Speaker 6: Because I know you tried to sneak in that little
- 41:22Speaker 6: quip about the Ravens game. Okay, fine, I'll give you
- 41:25Speaker 6: one good playoff game.
- 41:26Speaker 1: He doesn't. He doesn't have good performances.
- 41:28Speaker 4: Man.
- 41:28Speaker 6: He doesn't touch the quarterback, he does not affect the quarterback.
- 41:32Speaker 6: His defensive lines have always been lackluster in these situations. Man,
- 41:35Speaker 6: I don't I don't know what else to say.
- 41:37Speaker 8: I think, uh, I think that if you gave Sean
- 41:42Speaker 8: McDermott a dominant defensive end, his entire defense will look
- 41:46Speaker 8: completely different.
- 41:47Speaker 1: Sure, give us Miles Garret next year. I'm sure we're
- 41:48Speaker 1: going right.
- 41:49Speaker 4: I will say that.
- 41:50Speaker 8: I will say because I don't think that his defense
- 41:53Speaker 8: is the way he wants it to be because he
- 41:55Speaker 8: does not have a dominant defensive end.
- 41:56Speaker 4: If he did, I feel like this would them going
- 41:59Speaker 4: to be a perfect defense.
- 42:01Speaker 8: Really, But because you have almost no pass rush sometimes
- 42:06Speaker 8: it makes it really really tough.
- 42:08Speaker 4: And that's on Gregory Russo and Ed Oliver.
- 42:11Speaker 8: Those guys get paid a lot of money to do
- 42:13Speaker 8: a job and they don't always do it, So that's
- 42:15Speaker 8: on them. But McDermott is the coach, so it does
- 42:19Speaker 8: fall under him. So I get what you're saying. But yeah,
- 42:23Speaker 8: I mean you're not really worried about the d.
- 42:27Speaker 4: McDermott between Houston and LA m him and the coaches
- 42:36Speaker 4: or some like.
- 42:37Speaker 8: I would say Joe Brady cost us both of those games,
- 42:40Speaker 8: but McDermott got the flight for it because McDermott had to.
- 42:43Speaker 4: Make a decision that was off the back of Brady
- 42:47Speaker 4: doing some dumb stuff.
- 42:49Speaker 8: But Brady is young, so I feel like he's gotten
- 42:52Speaker 8: better throughout the season and gotten a lot better, uh,
- 42:55Speaker 8: in situation because if you look at Houston, three straight
- 42:57Speaker 8: passes from the one is insane when I was then,
- 43:04Speaker 8: and then QB sneak, you don't get in. That's not
- 43:08Speaker 8: on McDermott, you know what I mean. So Brady put
- 43:11Speaker 8: them in some f up positions.
- 43:13Speaker 1: Uh.
- 43:13Speaker 8: But McDermott has been pretty good so far to share
- 43:16Speaker 8: in terms of decision making going for it or fourth down.
- 43:19Speaker 8: He's been just aggressive enough, et cetera, et cetera. So
- 43:22Speaker 8: I will give him the benefit of it. Out Tyler Bass,
- 43:26Speaker 8: you gotta show me something, brother, you gotta show me something.
- 43:30Speaker 4: You can't do what you be doing, dog like and that.
- 43:33Speaker 1: Is really my biggest to come down to Tyler Bath.
- 43:36Speaker 1: God damn, I thought, no, I agree.
- 43:38Speaker 3: But when you.
- 43:41Speaker 8: When you play Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes and you know,
- 43:44Speaker 8: whoever else you gotta play.
- 43:46Speaker 4: These are great quarterbacks too, like josh Ain't just there
- 43:48Speaker 4: by yourself. There's other elite quarterbacks.
- 43:50Speaker 8: So you know, you can't blow everybody out like sometimes
- 43:54Speaker 8: it's gonna come down to a close game, and Tyler Bat,
- 43:56Speaker 8: you gotta be better than missing the forty yarder like yeah.
- 43:59Speaker 7: And you mentioned, you mentioned that Ravens game of being
- 44:02Speaker 7: the best playoff game defensively, but Justin Tucker missed two
- 44:05Speaker 7: field goals in that game and you know, and that
- 44:07Speaker 7: was obviously a big thing.
- 44:08Speaker 3: So that's a decent point.
- 44:10Speaker 6: But sterll sterll cool on, man, what I mean I
- 44:14Speaker 6: think they are They are letting this, letting McDermott off
- 44:17Speaker 6: the hook. No, no, no, no, no, I'm not no no,
- 44:22Speaker 6: I'm just teasing, man, I'm just teasing to know this
- 44:24Speaker 6: inside joke here a Nichols City care. I'm a big,
- 44:27Speaker 6: big time McDermott uh and tagging I do not I
- 44:30Speaker 6: don't mess with him since thirteen seconds.
- 44:32Speaker 1: I'm not on this team, so well, I mean, are
- 44:34Speaker 1: you confident?
- 44:34Speaker 6: I mean, you're confident in him as we as we
- 44:36Speaker 6: headed to the playoffs, specifically his defense.
- 44:39Speaker 5: I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt.
- 44:41Speaker 2: Like, there's a lot of context that And you know, Rob,
- 44:44Speaker 2: I am not a big Sean McDermott fan, right like,
- 44:48Speaker 2: but when you go back and you look at the
- 44:50Speaker 2: history and those playoffs, yes, he's had some blunders. We've
- 44:55Speaker 2: seen Sean mcderham this the mark many times. But there's context, like,
- 44:59Speaker 2: injuries do play a fucking huge deal, right like. And
- 45:04Speaker 2: I went back and watched the playoff game this week
- 45:06Speaker 2: against Kansas City, and what we had at linebacker it
- 45:10Speaker 2: was ship.
- 45:11Speaker 1: It was horrible standing next to each other right there.
- 45:15Speaker 1: It was bad. I understand you. You you had a
- 45:18Speaker 1: you know, a J.
- 45:21Speaker 5: Klein and then Ratul Douglass was on half a leg.
- 45:24Speaker 5: Bro My man was barely he could barely move. So
- 45:28Speaker 5: you know, you you're gonna have Kelsey eat.
- 45:31Speaker 2: I mean, and listen, they weren't and the Chiefs weren't
- 45:33Speaker 2: even that impressive with the second third string in the
- 45:37Speaker 2: middle of the defense.
- 45:37Speaker 1: So someday right exactly, And that's my point. That's my point.
- 45:43Speaker 2: So now you're gonna have a full defense. You're healthy,
- 45:46Speaker 2: everybody's healthy. And I don't know, man, like I think,
- 45:50Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys have got the opportunity
- 45:52Speaker 2: to read tie down this piece this week with his
- 45:53Speaker 2: interview at McDermott phenomenal, phenomenal, and I think you see
- 45:58Speaker 2: a different We've seen a different Sean McDermott this year
- 46:01Speaker 2: to where not as much micro managing. That's why you
- 46:05Speaker 2: saw our young coordinators fucking make mistakes this season, right
- 46:08Speaker 2: because he wasn't micro managing them. He is more focused
- 46:12Speaker 2: on the over the macro, the overall. He's being the CEO,
- 46:16Speaker 2: And I think, man, that's what you need when you
- 46:18Speaker 2: see Sean McDermott do fucking snow angels with Josh Allen
- 46:22Speaker 2: like that, to me was like, Okay, something's different about
- 46:25Speaker 2: this football team and trust me, Like that's that's the
- 46:28Speaker 2: same kind of shit that I used to be mad about. Hey, yo,
- 46:31Speaker 2: Like your relationship with Josh Allen needs to be upmost
- 46:33Speaker 2: number one, right. I feel like it's gotten to the
- 46:37Speaker 2: place where day Ball was with Josh Allen, like him
- 46:40Speaker 2: and McDermott are in lockstep and I'm telling you now,
- 46:43Speaker 2: bro that shit with Stefan Diggs, Josh Allen and I
- 46:46Speaker 2: got this from a source, Josh Allen although he's a
- 46:50Speaker 2: good leader, but he's been a great leader this year.
- 46:52Speaker 2: But he was not being a good leader because they
- 46:54Speaker 2: let Steph's ego deteriorate that locker room last year.
- 46:58Speaker 5: So now you you wipe all that away. And on record,
- 47:01Speaker 5: you know you've heard the players.
- 47:03Speaker 1: You're not gonna give me justice exact Justice broke the
- 47:06Speaker 1: scoop last in the off.
- 47:08Speaker 6: Season, so that's you saw your face offy Justice.
- 47:13Speaker 5: But you know what I'm saying, what you said.
- 47:17Speaker 2: You know, I just think you know, all that stuff matters,
- 47:23Speaker 2: bro When the stakes are high, I think all that matters.
- 47:26Speaker 2: So I'm gonna give Sean McDermott the bet. I'm gonna
- 47:28Speaker 2: wipe the slate clean. I'm still gonna know, like, yo,
- 47:30Speaker 2: how many times you sucked up. But I'm gonna get
- 47:32Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you do your thing. And after the season,
- 47:35Speaker 2: if you don't win the Super Bowl, I want to
- 47:37Speaker 2: see how the team lose.
- 47:38Speaker 1: Get right, Yeah, at least get there, you know, dt
- 47:41Speaker 1: at least get there.
- 47:42Speaker 5: What do we alway to get there?
- 47:43Speaker 3: Bro?
- 47:44Speaker 5: You gotta get there.
- 47:45Speaker 6: Represent the conference, Represent the conference, DT, And that's really
- 47:48Speaker 6: important because as we begin to wrap up tonight, DT,
- 47:50Speaker 6: it's just it's not that I love hating on McDermott
- 47:53Speaker 6: and anything like that.
- 47:54Speaker 1: It's just that I haven't forgiven him for fourteen seconds.
- 47:56Speaker 6: And that is part of what fourteen's problem was, was
- 48:00Speaker 6: that he wasn't able to get over that massive, massive disappointment.
- 48:03Speaker 6: So I can understand now looking back, I can understand
- 48:07Speaker 6: how cleansing the locker room of that energy could be
- 48:10Speaker 6: a positive thing for the community in respects to who
- 48:12Speaker 6: you go to work with every day, your coworkers, your bosses.
- 48:15Speaker 6: I can understand that just from a business standpoint, DT,
- 48:19Speaker 6: it's Josh's baby now DT and McDermott. I just don't
- 48:23Speaker 6: want him to be the reason we lose.
- 48:25Speaker 1: How about that? Is that? Okay, I don't want you
- 48:27Speaker 1: to fuck up and get it away? Okay?
- 48:29Speaker 6: How about that? Let you've got this Ferrari, just keep
- 48:31Speaker 6: it on the road. Don't put this motherfucker in the ditch.
- 48:34Speaker 6: How about that? Because now, as we recalibrated our expectations
- 48:38Speaker 6: midway through the season in late October. Now, hey, it's
- 48:41Speaker 6: right there. Go snatch it, go snatch it, go represent
- 48:44Speaker 6: the conference in the super Bowl. I'm a little bit
- 48:46Speaker 6: nervous of Baltimore, and we'll get to them next week
- 48:48Speaker 6: if the Bills take care of business on Sunday. However,
- 48:51Speaker 6: after that, it's clear sailing to me because I'm not
- 48:53Speaker 6: afraid of Kansas City and Arrowhead DT. As we wrap
- 48:56Speaker 6: up tonight that I don't know, Man's I mean, don't
- 48:59Speaker 6: fuck this up up.
- 49:00Speaker 1: McDermott.
- 49:01Speaker 7: Well, it doesn't matter if we lose this week the
- 49:04Speaker 7: divisional or the AFC championship.
- 49:08Speaker 1: Question.
- 49:08Speaker 3: You know, if we do that, that's the impedia question
- 49:12Speaker 3: that you'll have a lot more people on your side, Rob.
- 49:14Speaker 7: You know right now it's it's a little more like, well,
- 49:17Speaker 7: we're Josh Allen's playing great the d you know, let's
- 49:19Speaker 7: let's wipe the clean.
- 49:20Speaker 1: Let's do that.
- 49:21Speaker 7: But if we lose any of these next three games,
- 49:24Speaker 7: a lot of people come back to your side, Rob
- 49:26Speaker 7: and say, when are we getting rid of this guy?
- 49:27Speaker 7: When are we getting rid of this guy? And they're
- 49:29Speaker 7: not going to this year. We know that for sure,
- 49:31Speaker 7: like we can we can all probably agree on that.
- 49:34Speaker 7: But then the then the question comes like, okay, now
- 49:37Speaker 7: it's seven years now, next year's eight years, next year's
- 49:40Speaker 7: nine years. If we got nothing to show, like when
- 49:44Speaker 7: is the time when it when it happens, and when
- 49:46Speaker 7: is it the time when it's like, bro, it's you.
- 49:49Speaker 7: It's not one seven, it's you, right, So yeah, to
- 49:52Speaker 7: avoid that, and I think he knows that, and I
- 49:54Speaker 7: think he and we talked about the magnum opus and
- 49:57Speaker 7: and needing to kind of come around and him growing
- 49:59Speaker 7: and becoming different this year, and we hope that's true
- 50:02Speaker 7: and he needs the magnum.
- 50:03Speaker 3: Opus in the playoffs. I hope it's not this week.
- 50:06Speaker 7: I hope this is a ramp up week and we
- 50:08Speaker 7: handle business and it comes in, you know, in the
- 50:10Speaker 7: individual or the AFC Championship to push us, push us
- 50:13Speaker 7: to New Orleans.
- 50:14Speaker 3: For fifty nine.
- 50:14Speaker 7: But it's it's the real deal. How long can it
- 50:18Speaker 7: go before it's like, yeah, we're we're we are wiping
- 50:21Speaker 7: the slave clean. We are benefit of the doubt. There's
- 50:23Speaker 7: other factors involved. But when we get to year eight,
- 50:26Speaker 7: year nine, and if we're still not even making it
- 50:29Speaker 7: to the super Bowl or even the ANC Championship, got
- 50:31Speaker 7: one AMFC championship.
- 50:33Speaker 1: Not good enough.
- 50:34Speaker 7: You know, even the years Andy Reid before he got
- 50:36Speaker 7: his Super bowls, he was in every NFC championship, right,
- 50:40Speaker 7: and so we got it. We gotta level up, and
- 50:43Speaker 7: that's that's gonna be. You know, the accledes need to
- 50:45Speaker 7: start following when it comes to that. So the magnum
- 50:48Speaker 7: opus needs to come. I I agree with Sterling here.
- 50:50Speaker 7: I want to I want to kind of wipe it
- 50:52Speaker 7: clean and see what we got. But you know it,
- 50:55Speaker 7: the the stakes are high and this team's gotta got
- 50:58Speaker 7: to raise up and be pumped up at Oliver. Everyone
- 51:01Speaker 7: talking shit about him this year, about you know, not coming,
- 51:03Speaker 7: and then the Lions game, he comes out and like
- 51:05Speaker 7: plays mad, like this defense should has to play like
- 51:08Speaker 7: that if we want to go to the super Bowl.
- 51:10Speaker 7: So I'm gonna I'm gonna put my faith in him
- 51:13Speaker 7: to get it right, and especially get it right today
- 51:16Speaker 7: this week against a rookie quarterback that's decent, but at home,
- 51:20Speaker 7: have a good game plan, show your players some confidence,
- 51:23Speaker 7: stay healthy.
- 51:24Speaker 3: And then have your magnum opus the next two weeks after.
- 51:27Speaker 6: Yeah, I have to agree with that, and you know
- 51:29Speaker 6: we're just we'll be watching and and we'll all be
- 51:32Speaker 6: on Penzania's at least I will. I know Sterling will
- 51:34Speaker 6: be kicking back and his eyes will barely be open.
- 51:36Speaker 6: He'll be napping throughout the game and maybe he'll maybe
- 51:39Speaker 6: he'll wake up in the second half because he's already.
- 51:40Speaker 1: Expected the Bills to make them some adjustments, so we'll see. Man. Listen.

- 57:42Speaker 3: blame you there, Rob. You know, do what you gotta do.
- 57:44Speaker 7: But you know, if you had a living room junior
- 57:46Speaker 7: situation or something like that where you could kind of
- 57:48Speaker 7: go bunker in on that and then have the party
- 57:50Speaker 7: somewhere else, great, But I don't blame you.
- 57:53Speaker 3: I'm getting right back into it.
- 57:55Speaker 1: You know.
- 57:56Speaker 3: Obviously we uh we've all.
- 57:58Speaker 7: Been uh at as the years have gone, and obviously
- 58:01Speaker 7: this year we haven't been to as many tailgates, and
- 58:04Speaker 7: our original tailgate crew hasn't been, you know, consistently every week.
- 58:08Speaker 7: But I think we've got a good showing on Sunday
- 58:11Speaker 7: the spot, and we're gonna set it up and make
- 58:15Speaker 7: it happen. It's the weather's looking great, a little thirty degrees.
- 58:19Speaker 7: It was basically this today. It warmed up a little
- 58:22Speaker 7: today where it wasn't like so frigid, so I went
- 58:25Speaker 7: out there and tested a little today, Like around lunch,
- 58:27Speaker 7: I was just walking around like how cold, you know,
- 58:29Speaker 7: is it really to get a feel for Sunday and
- 58:32Speaker 7: how many layers I'm gonna do or whatever the case is.
- 58:34Speaker 1: But ready to go.
