- 1:32Speaker 3: nobody ever thought that the Bills would be going seventeen
- 1:34Speaker 3: and no We talked about it throughout the off season,
- 1:37Speaker 3: ups and downs.
- 1:37Speaker 1: It's a week to week league, as we all know.
- 1:41Speaker 3: So we we just got served up a little bit
- 1:42Speaker 3: of humble pie last week on Sunday Night Football.

- 1:55Speaker 3: As always my co host writing shot Gun Adam dump

- 2:06Speaker 3: it's all good, It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Hey, we said though, we said though we go four

- 2:15Speaker 1: Ain't gonna be able to tell ye not nothing.
- 2:19Speaker 2: But let's I'm glad we're going Friday night this week.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Nicol City Crew, what's up? It's up rop another week.
- 2:25Speaker 2: We're back quick clack, Glad we're going on Friday night.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Because it took a few days to kind of get
- 2:30Speaker 2: over that one. It took a few days to you know,
- 2:33Speaker 2: we'll get into it tonight. A lot of darkness, you know,
- 2:38Speaker 2: surrounding that game, Ravens in their all black uniforms and
- 2:42Speaker 2: and a lot of darkness after that game. It just
- 2:44Speaker 2: kind of compartmentalizing really what happened and what we have
- 2:48Speaker 2: in store for the rest of the year. So I'm
- 2:50Speaker 2: glad we're going Friday because i can say I've kind
- 2:52Speaker 2: of moved past and now my transition. I'm starting to
- 2:56Speaker 2: get hyped up now. Big AFC matchup coming up with
- 2:58Speaker 2: the Houston Texas Sunday, So let's lock in, let's get
- 3:01Speaker 2: it done, and you know, let's get it going.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, let's get it going.
- 3:06Speaker 3: You know, it's it's interesting because of the fact that
- 3:08Speaker 3: you know, when you look at games like that, it's
- 3:10Speaker 3: it's funny because we don't really get many games like that.
- 3:13Speaker 3: In respects to the Bills, I think that we just
- 3:16Speaker 3: broke a streak of like forty something games without being
- 3:20Speaker 3: beat by six points or more, which is just an
- 3:22Speaker 3: incredible feat and obviously speaks to Josh Allen. It speaks
- 3:25Speaker 3: to the offense itself and even the defense as well,
- 3:28Speaker 3: and the way that they've been able to get after it.
- 3:30Speaker 3: So the Bills don't get blown out, and we know
- 3:32Speaker 3: that Bill's Mafia, nicol City crew. We don't get blown out.
- 3:34Speaker 3: We don't get the doors blown off of us. I
- 3:37Speaker 3: was at the last game that the Bills got blown out,
- 3:40Speaker 3: was that Indianapolis game, and I remember being just so
- 3:43Speaker 3: mad driving up to the game.
- 3:44Speaker 1: You know, excuse me driving home.
- 3:45Speaker 3: From the game and driving all that way up to
- 3:47Speaker 3: buff to watch that that that really that horrible performance.
- 3:51Speaker 3: And Jonathan Taylor, I think scored like three or four
- 3:53Speaker 3: touchdowns and it was just it really wasn't fun at all.
- 3:56Speaker 3: But it's it's just been few and far between three
- 3:58Speaker 3: years since that blowout, and it was a situation where,
- 4:02Speaker 3: you know, I thought that a lot of people are
- 4:03Speaker 3: heard saying that we had it come in and different
- 4:05Speaker 3: things like that. I don't agree with that, but I
- 4:07Speaker 3: just think that when you look at that opponent DT,
- 4:10Speaker 3: that opponent is just built to do some of the
- 4:12Speaker 3: things that we don't do.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Well. You think about the way that they run the ball.
- 4:16Speaker 3: I talked about in the offseason when I saw Derrick
- 4:18Speaker 3: Henry sign with the Ravens, I was like, is there
- 4:21Speaker 3: a better I put it right on Twitter.
- 4:22Speaker 1: I'm like, is there a better fit?
- 4:23Speaker 3: Of player with team than the run heavy Baltimore Ravens
- 4:28Speaker 3: welcoming in one of the you know, the greatest runners
- 4:31Speaker 3: of our generation, and it was just a it just
- 4:33Speaker 3: seemed to me like it was going to be a
- 4:34Speaker 3: match made in heaven. And you saw some of that
- 4:36Speaker 3: on Sunday night. Bills dropped at thirty five to ten. Again,
- 4:39Speaker 3: they don't get their doors blown off very often at all,
- 4:41Speaker 3: but it was literally, i mean the offense, I think
- 4:44Speaker 3: it was a three and out for their first possession,
- 4:46Speaker 3: and then literally the first play from scrimmage for Baltimore
- 4:49Speaker 3: is a touchdown up the sideline where they've got that
- 4:51Speaker 3: trap game and they just it just was it was
- 4:54Speaker 3: a bad night really from the start, and it just
- 4:56Speaker 3: it's just started to roll downhill after that.
- 4:59Speaker 2: You said it a nice point there. I mean, the
- 5:01Speaker 2: Ravens kind of a brute force to kind of always
- 5:04Speaker 2: have been that way since the days of you know,
- 5:06Speaker 2: ray Lewis and uh Derrick Henry going in there just
- 5:10Speaker 2: to be a bruiser, you know, on this team that's
- 5:12Speaker 2: known to be bruising, right, and it's kind of way
- 5:15Speaker 2: the NFL has gotten away from. It's gotten a little
- 5:18Speaker 2: more fints League and a little more you know, over
- 5:21Speaker 2: the top, and those bruiser teams aren't aren't around as much.
- 5:24Speaker 2: And man, it didn't seem like the Bills remembered that
- 5:28Speaker 2: there was bruiser teams in the NFL because they I mean,
- 5:30Speaker 2: I was saying it this week. It was like, you know,
- 5:32Speaker 2: we were You're with your boys, you're you're out, you're
- 5:35Speaker 2: going to the bar, you're having a good time. You know,
- 5:37Speaker 2: you think you think nothing can go wrong. You go
- 5:39Speaker 2: outside to get a smoke, and you just get jumped.
- 5:43Speaker 2: That's like you just get circled up and stomped out.
- 5:47Speaker 2: And that's that's what happened Sunday night. They didn't have
- 5:50Speaker 2: an answer for everything. How uh, how we sounded a
- 5:53Speaker 2: little starry Nicols City Crew, We sounded better now and
- 5:58Speaker 2: so yeah we got we got stomped out straight up,
- 6:02Speaker 2: no ifan butts about it. Embarrassing on all fronts, all
- 6:05Speaker 2: phases of football were beat up, and it just seemed
- 6:08Speaker 2: like we never ever you know, we're ready to go.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we are ready to go. You know,
- 6:15Speaker 1: we got to talk about it a little bit.
- 6:16Speaker 3: You know, I know that you don't want to DT
- 6:18Speaker 3: and everybody you know, I saw on Twitter everybody's like,
- 6:20Speaker 3: burn the tape, burn the tape, and I'm like, no,
- 6:22Speaker 3: don't burn the tape. Watch the tape and learn from it, Like,
- 6:25Speaker 3: don't burn it. You know a lot of times, you know,
- 6:27Speaker 3: you use that as a coping mechanism, like oh, it
- 6:29Speaker 3: didn't really happen, or we try to come up with
- 6:31Speaker 3: different reasons why things didn't happen and they didn't go
- 6:34Speaker 3: out the way that they did, But it happened.
- 6:36Speaker 1: It was out there for everybody to sing on primetime TV.
- 6:38Speaker 3: So we'll talk about it, but we definitely will spend
- 6:40Speaker 3: the majority of the episode on Houston. But you know,
- 6:42Speaker 3: DT from the very start of the game, like I said,
- 6:44Speaker 3: it was. It's funny because you had made a comment,
- 6:47Speaker 3: you know, last week, and I challenged you on it.
- 6:50Speaker 3: But I only challenged you on it just a little
- 6:51Speaker 3: bit because we're three and oh we're rye and high,
- 6:53Speaker 3: and you know, we had talked about how, you know,
- 6:55Speaker 3: like the backups in they're just playing so well, and
- 6:57Speaker 3: you had said, you know, like how the backup's like
- 6:59Speaker 3: you know mcdermot' making it seem like it doesn't even matter.
- 7:01Speaker 3: And I'm like, yeah, but that shit can't catch up
- 7:03Speaker 3: with you eventually, and Boyd did it this week because
- 7:06Speaker 3: you know, it's a situation where your starters are starters
- 7:10Speaker 3: for a reason.
- 7:11Speaker 1: DT. I mean, there's really no other way to really
- 7:13Speaker 1: sugarcoat it.
- 7:14Speaker 3: Like I understand that there was fun with Cam Lewis
- 7:16Speaker 3: and he's still playing okay in the slot for tir
- 7:18Speaker 3: Ron Johnson, but like you know, those the ub corners
- 7:21Speaker 3: and you're talking about DVU and stuff like that, and
- 7:23Speaker 3: I understand that that's all fun and it's and it's
- 7:25Speaker 3: cool JaMarcus Ingram is making plays and different things like that,
- 7:28Speaker 3: But the middle of the field, the spine of that
- 7:30Speaker 3: defense going right up the middle was really.
- 7:32Speaker 1: Getting you know, was getting picked on by Baltimore.
- 7:34Speaker 3: And they didn't do anything exotic or anything like that
- 7:36Speaker 3: in respect of their past game or their run game,
- 7:38Speaker 3: but just the fact that those backups in their balance
- 7:40Speaker 3: spector looked like a backup, you know what I mean,
- 7:42Speaker 3: Like he looked like one on Sunday night, you know
- 7:44Speaker 3: the same thing with you know, what's his name, what's
- 7:48Speaker 3: the other linebacker?
- 7:48Speaker 1: Dorian Williams?
- 7:49Speaker 3: And then I saw thirty two, I'm like, wait a
- 7:51Speaker 3: minute's juice alive, and you know, I didn't realize that
- 7:53Speaker 3: they gave out Juice's number and Nick Morriles running around
- 7:56Speaker 3: chase of tackles and I'm just like, man, these guys
- 7:58Speaker 3: are having a tough time tonight. They had to switch
- 8:00Speaker 3: out of their nickel d because of the way that
- 8:02Speaker 3: Baltimore was running the ball. So it was a situation
- 8:04Speaker 3: where I think that it's really important to, you know,
- 8:07Speaker 3: to get healthy because of the fact that, yes, it's
- 8:10Speaker 3: fun and it's cool stories and and you know, McDermott
- 8:13Speaker 3: is making you know, chicken salad out of chicken shit,
- 8:15Speaker 3: But man, you really do need your starters to be
- 8:18Speaker 3: out there ready to go, because then we'll talk about
- 8:19Speaker 3: that obviously, because that's a big storyline for coming up
- 8:22Speaker 3: for Houston. But you know, for last week specifically, you
- 8:25Speaker 3: kind of saw some of the cracks in the defense
- 8:27Speaker 3: when those main guys aren't out there, because it was
- 8:29Speaker 3: it was noticeable.
- 8:31Speaker 2: Play one play one right, that eighty seven yard touchdown.
- 8:35Speaker 2: I mean, you're you're screwed after that. You're screwed after that,
- 8:38Speaker 2: and I mean Collin's Worth kept saying it and whatever,
- 8:40Speaker 2: it's the fact you can't, you know, Settle in as
- 8:43Speaker 2: a defense when you get cut like that, right, because
- 8:46Speaker 2: then now everybody's so nervous that they don't want to
- 8:48Speaker 2: get beat on that play, So they're up and then
- 8:50Speaker 2: they're gonna get beat back, and that everyone just out
- 8:52Speaker 2: of position the next four quarters because of that. That
- 8:55Speaker 2: is literally an ideal start to a game. You know,
- 8:58Speaker 2: if you're the Baltimore Ravens, to have a run that
- 9:00Speaker 2: set the tone because it makes this defense full of
- 9:03Speaker 2: young players, full of backups, now completely off kilter, completely offstrewed.
- 9:07Speaker 2: All their confidence that they've had the weeks prior that
- 9:10Speaker 2: they were building is out the window now because now
- 9:12Speaker 2: they got slapped in the face and they knew they
- 9:14Speaker 2: can get beat like that. So that play one, I
- 9:17Speaker 2: think set the tone. And I mean to be honest, Rob,
- 9:20Speaker 2: it's it's a trend of the last seven years under
- 9:24Speaker 2: the McDermott era. They they these first play bullshit things
- 9:28Speaker 2: happen a lot, you know, the the it goes all
- 9:31Speaker 2: the way back. A couple examples I can think of
- 9:33Speaker 2: one that didn't cost us a game was last year
- 9:36Speaker 2: when you know, the Patriots ran back the opening kickoff
- 9:39Speaker 2: and then well the first play pick in the Patriots
- 9:43Speaker 2: at Patriots, Josh Allaen throws the first play pick. James
- 9:46Speaker 2: Cook fumbles on the first play. You know, first play bullshit.
- 9:50Speaker 2: It seems to be a you know, it happens.
- 9:53Speaker 1: It happened, and.
- 9:55Speaker 2: You know, we've recovered on some of the games, and
- 9:57Speaker 2: we have it Sunday night. We had no chance recovering.
- 10:00Speaker 2: That defense was out of sorts, and they did whatever
- 10:03Speaker 2: they wanted the rest of the game because of that,
- 10:05Speaker 2: because everyone was like, wait, was I too far up?
- 10:07Speaker 2: Was I too far back? And nobody was in position
- 10:10Speaker 2: the rest of the night because of it. So that
- 10:12Speaker 2: set the tone. And you know, we talk about inexperience
- 10:15Speaker 2: and the backups in not saying if you know, if
- 10:18Speaker 2: they stopped him, if they didn't let up an eighty
- 10:20Speaker 2: seven yard touchdown play one, they would have won the game.
- 10:23Speaker 2: I'm not saying that by any means, but you know
- 10:25Speaker 2: that definitely rattled these dudes a lot less than you know,
- 10:29Speaker 2: a starter or a veteran would. Okay, it happens, let's
- 10:31Speaker 2: lock back in and get it going. It's a lot
- 10:33Speaker 2: harder to get it back going when you are the
- 10:35Speaker 2: third string guy out there and you just get busted up.
- 10:38Speaker 2: The side by Derrick Henry.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Yeah, no, we and he busted us up for sure.
- 10:44Speaker 3: I mean, one hundred and ninety nine yards on the
- 10:46Speaker 3: ground and everything's like that.
- 10:48Speaker 2: At least the one drug spot they like, they like stopped.
- 10:51Speaker 2: They kept him in the game late to try to
- 10:53Speaker 2: get him that two hundred and they stopped him twice
- 10:56Speaker 2: beyond the line, so he didn't get it. But yeah, yeah,
- 10:59Speaker 2: it's that's set the tone and put these young guys
- 11:01Speaker 2: on on notice. And they were uncomfortable the rest of
- 11:04Speaker 2: the game. And and you know, credit to the Ravens
- 11:06Speaker 2: offense and Lamar for staying staying poised and picking us
- 11:10Speaker 2: apart because of that.
- 11:11Speaker 3: And and you know, you're absolutely right about that, and
- 11:13Speaker 3: and and you know we got out coached, you know
- 11:15Speaker 3: what I mean, And and and it was it was
- 11:17Speaker 3: clear to see from the beginning of.
- 11:18Speaker 1: The game, and that.
- 11:24Speaker 3: When we had a little bit of momentum and we
- 11:26Speaker 3: started just trying to make some type of run start
- 11:29Speaker 3: the third quarter, we go ahead and score, you know
- 11:32Speaker 3: what I mean, on that that broken play whatever the case,
- 11:34Speaker 3: maybe the calusia here and then DT it was like
- 11:37Speaker 3: a brain fart of all epic brain parts, like Joe Brady,
- 11:40Speaker 3: what are you thinking? Like, I don't know what he
- 11:42Speaker 3: was thinking. I don't know why he thought it was
- 11:43Speaker 3: a good idea. I know that he took, you know,
- 11:46Speaker 3: responsibility for it and said he can't call that play
- 11:48Speaker 3: and different things like that in that moment, you know,
- 11:50Speaker 3: and obviously it's you know, it's results based in that respect.
- 11:53Speaker 1: You know, if it works, then obviously everybody's.
- 11:54Speaker 3: Like, oh man, that was really interesting and that looked
- 11:56Speaker 3: like a dable trick play and stuff like that. My
- 11:58Speaker 3: thing is that, you know, I want I want the
- 12:01Speaker 3: oh I want the officeive coordinator to have the pulse
- 12:04Speaker 3: of what's going on in the game situation.
- 12:05Speaker 1: You had just stopped them twice.
- 12:07Speaker 3: You had an opportunity to come down there and make
- 12:09Speaker 3: it what twenty one seventeen if you score another touchdown,
- 12:12Speaker 3: and obviously it's still a touchdown game, but you know,
- 12:15Speaker 3: you you can maybe breathe some life into it. All
- 12:17Speaker 3: the air was sucked out of the building in respect
- 12:19Speaker 3: of the Bill's sideline after that dumbass.
- 12:21Speaker 1: But Josh Allen gets rocked.
- 12:23Speaker 3: They get a free rush on him and get a
- 12:25Speaker 3: chance to hit him because he's lined up out wide
- 12:27Speaker 3: as a wide receiver, so he doesn't count as a quarterback.
- 12:29Speaker 1: There's no in the pocket or anything like that.
- 12:31Speaker 3: And boy, it could have been really bad the way
- 12:34Speaker 3: that he got hit by that defensive tackle. We would
- 12:37Speaker 3: be we would be way more upset if if seventeen
- 12:40Speaker 3: wasn't the superhuman that he is and got up from
- 12:41Speaker 3: that play, it could have been really bad.
- 12:43Speaker 1: It could have been really bad.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Well, let's rewind a little into the first half. The
- 12:48Speaker 2: sideline shot to Keon Coleman that he dropped, right, that
- 12:52Speaker 2: was kind of the they were trying to you know,
- 12:56Speaker 2: it was the lawnmower was trying to start there, you know,
- 12:59Speaker 2: not lunch in the mouth straight up. And then okay,
- 13:02Speaker 2: let's reset. The Ravens have almost blown the lead every
- 13:06Speaker 2: week this season, so let's you know, let's reset and
- 13:09Speaker 2: let's let's do our thing. And they started kind of
- 13:11Speaker 2: getting in the rhythm. The lawnmower was trying to start
- 13:13Speaker 2: him up, up, up, up up up, And that that
- 13:16Speaker 2: dropped a keyon Coleman, I think was massive. And I mean,
- 13:19Speaker 2: he's a rookie thing, I get it. Whatever, But that's
- 13:22Speaker 2: goes back to all our things of like, well, everybody
- 13:25Speaker 2: eats and you're gonna put guys like that out there, Well,
- 13:27Speaker 2: we need that play to be made, you know that
- 13:29Speaker 2: in this game specifically, that play needed to be made
- 13:33Speaker 2: to get down score that touchdown, get up. You know,
- 13:35Speaker 2: it's ten, twenty one going in. Then you got to stop.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Stop stop score stop, And that drive of the trick
- 13:43Speaker 2: play is the twenty one to seventeen score, not the
- 13:47Speaker 2: ten score. And so that drive is going for the lead,
- 13:51Speaker 2: you know, with eleven minutes left in the third quarter.
- 13:53Speaker 1: So that's like, that's true.
- 13:54Speaker 2: That's what I really like him on, Like, yeah, it's it.
- 13:57Speaker 2: There's all these things, rookie whatever, but that's a play
- 14:01Speaker 2: that's got to be made for in a game like
- 14:03Speaker 2: that when okay, we got punch in the mouth. We
- 14:05Speaker 2: can't afford any mistakes anymore. You make that mistake and
- 14:08Speaker 2: then we're reeling the trick play. Like you said, damned
- 14:12Speaker 2: if you do, damned if you don't. If that thing
- 14:13Speaker 2: goes and it's a touchdown, Joe Brady's the best offense,
- 14:19Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, yeah, but I have issue with it,
- 14:23Speaker 2: and I've talked about it a lot this week to
- 14:25Speaker 2: you know, to my friends, and you know, I'm passionate
- 14:27Speaker 2: about it. Sure you every play in your playbook, I
- 14:32Speaker 2: think you look at as three sequences, right, Okay, best
- 14:36Speaker 2: case scenario. Most is a touchdown, but not every play,
- 14:40Speaker 2: because there's some plays you're just doing purposely to forfield
- 14:43Speaker 2: position or this or that or whatever you have to do.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Grind.
- 14:46Speaker 2: Yeah, First, every play, best case scenario is a touchdown, Okay,
- 14:50Speaker 2: realistic scenario whatever it is, ten fifteen yards, whatever it is.
- 14:54Speaker 2: And then you have a worst case scenario of every play, right,
- 14:57Speaker 2: and the worst case scenario should be you know nothing, right,
- 15:00Speaker 2: an incomplete pass or a rush for no gain or
- 15:04Speaker 2: you know, something like that. This recond scenario is putting
- 15:08Speaker 2: one to seven in the against the firing squad out
- 15:11Speaker 2: with no protection. So this is why I had issue
- 15:14Speaker 2: with the play itself, like not like, yes, it was
- 15:17Speaker 2: a dumb play to be called with a momentum whatever.
- 15:19Speaker 2: Joe Brady knows that. Everybody knows that. Nobody has to
- 15:21Speaker 2: like it's It's not a fucking mystery to figure out
- 15:24Speaker 2: that that was a bad play call. Everybody gets that.
- 15:26Speaker 2: But the fact that seventeen was putting Harm's way like
- 15:29Speaker 2: that for pretty much no reason, That's what I have
- 15:32Speaker 2: issue with. It's like in the playbook that are gonna
- 15:36Speaker 2: set up like that that if all hell breaks loose,
- 15:39Speaker 2: which it did. Yeah, that seventeen just there with every
- 15:43Speaker 2: linebacker and defensive lineman coming full speed out. It's unacceptable.
- 15:49Speaker 2: I don't think one seven should ever be in a
- 15:51Speaker 2: situation where worst case scenario of the play is him
- 15:54Speaker 2: getting rocked like that.
- 15:56Speaker 1: You know.
- 15:57Speaker 2: And granted he did his typical Josh stuff. He didn't
- 16:01Speaker 2: just see it blowing off and try to throw it away.
- 16:03Speaker 2: He tried to step up there, and yeah, but it
- 16:07Speaker 2: shouldn't be worst case scenario ever as that outcome. And
- 16:11Speaker 2: that's what I had the most issue with, not that
- 16:13Speaker 2: it was called at a bad time or anything like that,
- 16:16Speaker 2: the play itself shouldn't be in the playbook. If one
- 16:18Speaker 2: seven is going to take a hit like that, it's unacceptable.
- 16:22Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.
- 16:22Speaker 3: It's crazy to see, like how you know, and you've
- 16:24Speaker 3: got to you know, one of the things that they
- 16:26Speaker 3: talked about and I have to agree with is that
- 16:28Speaker 3: you know, just from playing sports, and you know it
- 16:30Speaker 3: playing football as well, just you know, anytime the quarterbacks
- 16:33Speaker 3: sitting out there like you know, some shit is going on,
- 16:35Speaker 3: Like you know, Josh Allen doesn't play wide receiver, So
- 16:37Speaker 3: even if it was a trick play, I thought that
- 16:38Speaker 3: it was poorly designed. Because you're putting everybody on alert,
- 16:41Speaker 3: you might as well have a sign up that says
- 16:43Speaker 3: we're getting ready to run a trick play.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Fellas, you know what I mean, because you know the
- 16:46Speaker 1: Ravens were not were not fooled.
- 16:48Speaker 3: And then obviously van Neui breaks through and gets penetration
- 16:51Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, everything just blows up on
- 16:53Speaker 3: Samuel who's trying that little flick pass or whatever he
- 16:55Speaker 3: was getting ready to do. But a situation where when
- 16:57Speaker 3: you see Josh Allen lining up at wide.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Receiver, you know that some shit is about to happen.
- 17:00Speaker 3: So I just would like a little bit more subtlety
- 17:03Speaker 3: if you are going to run a trick play and
- 17:05Speaker 3: just not alert the defense that something is about to happen,
- 17:07Speaker 3: because they knew it. They had it covered up, They
- 17:09Speaker 3: had a cover over the top of the defense of
- 17:11Speaker 3: wherever he was going, Mac Hollins or whoever he was
- 17:13Speaker 3: getting ready to chuck that thing too. Now, I almost
- 17:15Speaker 3: would have liked an arm punt in that scenario as
- 17:18Speaker 3: opposed to what happened with the fumble. But but I
- 17:20Speaker 3: totally agree. You're absolutely right. You don't want to put
- 17:23Speaker 3: your two hundred and fifty six million dollar investment out
- 17:26Speaker 3: there to get to get hit like that. And those
- 17:29Speaker 3: defenders love it when they get a chance to hit
- 17:30Speaker 3: get your quarterback. They fucking love it, like they will
- 17:33Speaker 3: take every chance to getting that That DEFENSI attack and
- 17:35Speaker 3: I don't know who it was, but I know he
- 17:36Speaker 3: thought like it was Christmas getting a chance to get
- 17:39Speaker 3: a free.
- 17:39Speaker 2: Shot on Josh Man.
- 17:41Speaker 3: It wasn't Yeah or whoever. But the defense attacker was
- 17:44Speaker 3: the guy that hit him and he lit him up. Man,
- 17:46Speaker 3: he knocked to the ground. It could have been bad man.
- 17:49Speaker 2: Monday night, Monday Night, the Lions had a beautiful trick
- 17:52Speaker 2: play where they threw it back to Jared Goff and
- 17:55Speaker 2: and you know, and I agree, like putting your wide
- 17:57Speaker 2: putting your quarterback out of wide receivers, never like who's
- 18:00Speaker 2: who's going to be like, oh okay, we better you know,
- 18:03Speaker 2: we better cover it. But I think of all the
- 18:05Speaker 2: way back to that that clip of Mark Sanchez that
- 18:08Speaker 2: one time when he was out there and the defensive
- 18:11Speaker 2: back just like just like you know, a little a
- 18:14Speaker 2: little like you know a joled at him and Sanchanz.
- 18:17Speaker 2: This is not saying not saying Josh Allen would ever
- 18:21Speaker 2: do though, But it's just it's just dumb. It's get whatever,
- 18:26Speaker 2: trying to be creative, trying to make things happen. But
- 18:28Speaker 2: the momentum was going, like, maybe that's the play call
- 18:31Speaker 2: you make in the first half when you're down twenty
- 18:33Speaker 2: one three and you're trying to get any nothing's working,
- 18:35Speaker 2: so hey, let's just try something crazy like this and
- 18:37Speaker 2: if it works, boom. Now we're back on the map
- 18:39Speaker 2: and rolling. But the momentum was already rolling, so that's
- 18:42Speaker 2: where the problem was. But again, I damned if you
- 18:45Speaker 2: do it, damn if you don't. Don't have a problem
- 18:46Speaker 2: with like him calling a trick play. I have a
- 18:49Speaker 2: problem with the play itself. Josh Allen being out there
- 18:52Speaker 2: and taking taking that hit, you know it just never
- 18:57Speaker 2: haven't the guy hasn't been touched in two weeks and
- 19:00Speaker 2: then he gets the complete shit kicked out him.
- 19:04Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. I love it.
- 19:05Speaker 3: Now as we transition over three hundred people following and
- 19:09Speaker 3: watching us now on all different platforms, we really appreciate it.
- 19:13Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting as we transitioned DT because this
- 19:16Speaker 3: is a big week.
- 19:17Speaker 1: You know, to believe it or not, this is a
- 19:19Speaker 1: big week.
- 19:19Speaker 3: I know it's early in the season and it's sometimes
- 19:21Speaker 3: it's cliche to call games big games. But the way
- 19:23Speaker 3: that last week went and then also the way that
- 19:26Speaker 3: the AFC is shaping up it. We talked about it
- 19:28Speaker 3: last week at nauseum in respects to how the conference
- 19:31Speaker 3: is looking a little bit weaker and it's looking like
- 19:33Speaker 3: there's some chinks in almost every team, including the sole
- 19:36Speaker 3: quote unquote contenders DT. This is a big game coming
- 19:39Speaker 3: up here on Sunday one o'clock down there in h
- 19:41Speaker 3: Town in Houston, and we got some bad news today
- 19:44Speaker 3: Bill's Mafia and Nichols City Crew in respect to the
- 19:46Speaker 3: injury report at Oliver Austin Johnson at defensive tackles. Both
- 19:51Speaker 3: of them will be out of the game. We've got
- 19:54Speaker 3: Khalusha kir out for this matchup. He had that ankle
- 19:56Speaker 3: and jo I know he tried to tough it out
- 19:57Speaker 3: last week. He was not the same when he came
- 19:59Speaker 3: back in the game, not the same explosiveness or anything
- 20:01Speaker 3: like that. When he tried to cut it out last week.
- 20:03Speaker 3: When he came in that Baltimore game and came back
- 20:05Speaker 3: and then Taylor Reps got a concussion. Excuse me, he's
- 20:07Speaker 3: got hamstring or something like that. He's out of this game.
- 20:09Speaker 3: So it's a it's a bad situation for the Bills
- 20:13Speaker 3: in respects to having four starters or at least a
- 20:16Speaker 3: rotational player out of the game. DT speak to it,
- 20:19Speaker 3: because you know, I just talked about how you started
- 20:21Speaker 3: to start for a reason. This is not a This
- 20:24Speaker 3: is not an ideal situation when you're going up against
- 20:26Speaker 3: an offense that can put points on the board. No,
- 20:29Speaker 3: they're not going to run the ball like Baltimore did,
- 20:30Speaker 3: so that that gives you a little bit of solace
- 20:32Speaker 3: in that respect, but they got plenty of weapons. Nico
- 20:35Speaker 3: Collins looks like a freak show, obviously. Stephan Diggs will
- 20:38Speaker 3: talk about him later. And then Tankdlle's supposed to be
- 20:40Speaker 3: coming back this week. So if this is the wrong
- 20:42Speaker 3: time to have injuries, there's gonna be tested once again
- 20:45Speaker 3: because you've got some guys that are are key guys.
- 20:48Speaker 3: Hopefully Bernard can get back, we'll see, but you know,
- 20:51Speaker 3: this is gonna be the first start for for Cold Bishop.
- 20:53Speaker 3: This is gonna be a big time game for day
- 20:55Speaker 3: day in the middle with with the you know, the
- 20:57Speaker 3: young rookie Dwayne Carter.
- 20:58Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of young guys are getting ready to.
- 21:01Speaker 3: Have to step up into different roles that they're maybe
- 21:02Speaker 3: not you know, accustomed.
- 21:03Speaker 1: To in it. And this is a big matchup on
- 21:06Speaker 1: the road.
- 21:07Speaker 2: I mean, the the everybody eats on offense, Khalil Shaker
- 21:14Speaker 2: kind of solidified as like being the number one option
- 21:17Speaker 2: over the last three weeks of a of a kind
- 21:19Speaker 2: of watered down offensive weapon that we've been talking about
- 21:23Speaker 2: for you know, all the offseason, and then then kind
- 21:27Speaker 2: of what solidifies to the best offense offensive weapon is
- 21:32Speaker 2: going to be out in a team on a game
- 21:34Speaker 2: you might have to put up thirty five points to
- 21:36Speaker 2: win it, you know. So that's that's obviously concerning at
- 21:39Speaker 2: Oliver got hurt at practice, right, he didn't get hurt
- 21:42Speaker 2: in the game.
- 21:44Speaker 1: Yes, Yes, he never got hurt on Thursday. Thursday. He's
- 21:47Speaker 1: the hamstring, he's the hamstring.
- 21:49Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's that's tough. Austin Johnson was you know,
- 21:52Speaker 2: was in and out. But this this the depth of
- 21:55Speaker 2: this defensive line at least Sunday wasn't showing up. I
- 21:58Speaker 2: mean Casey two Hill smooth. Those dudes are kind of
- 22:01Speaker 2: getting ran around a little bit. Jones, Dakwan Jones hasn't
- 22:05Speaker 2: really shown out all year. So this, you know, glass
- 22:09Speaker 2: half fole uses his opportunity to kind of to lock
- 22:11Speaker 2: in and get it going. Maybe Dwayne Carter Lil Wayne
- 22:15Speaker 2: can you know, get this, get his you know, his
- 22:18Speaker 2: breakout game because he has to type of situation. I
- 22:21Speaker 2: think Treel Bernard's gonna be huge if he's back. Karen
- 22:24Speaker 2: Johnson will be very big if he's back, because that
- 22:27Speaker 2: goes that goes really deep, that goes to you know,
- 22:30Speaker 2: that dude was playing against Stephan Diggs in practice for
- 22:33Speaker 2: for four years, right, so so he knows a lot
- 22:35Speaker 2: more than than whoever else is going to be out
- 22:38Speaker 2: there trying to trying to make plays, especially in the slot.
- 22:41Speaker 2: So those two guys back are huge. At Oliver, you know,
- 22:44Speaker 2: has been not great this year, but he's our best
- 22:49Speaker 2: defensive line, you know. So I we just got done
- 22:53Speaker 2: talking about it. The starters are the starters for a reason.
- 22:56Speaker 2: We got bullied because of it. And now you're going
- 22:59Speaker 2: into a team where you might have to score thirty
- 23:01Speaker 2: points to beat them or if your defense is beaten batter,
- 23:04Speaker 2: they're gonna score. So the offense is gonna have to
- 23:06Speaker 2: have that go to player. And if Khalil scars out,
- 23:09Speaker 2: there's gonna be a lot of question marks, a lot
- 23:11Speaker 2: of people that are gonna need to step up. I
- 23:12Speaker 2: don't love it. The media is you know, I think
- 23:15Speaker 2: they're still down about Sunday. So the negative aura is
- 23:19Speaker 2: is around this team right now, which stinks because you know,
- 23:23Speaker 2: the first three weeks it was like it was super
- 23:25Speaker 2: high and everyone was good, and then this week, you know,
- 23:27Speaker 2: it was dark. It was dark for me Monday and Tuesday.
- 23:29Speaker 2: I started to kind of come around. But then I'm
- 23:31Speaker 2: listening to like gr today and it's it's negative. It's like, oh,
- 23:34Speaker 2: this guy's out. How are we gonna match up? You know,
- 23:36Speaker 2: in and out? And so the negative aur is there.
- 23:40Speaker 2: But I think we're in a similar situation as we
- 23:42Speaker 2: were in the past couple of games like that. There's
- 23:44Speaker 2: primetime starters that aren't on this team right now, and
- 23:47Speaker 2: you know, we have to get We're just gonna have
- 23:50Speaker 2: to next man up. The standard is the standard, as
- 23:52Speaker 2: Rasul Douglas says, the standard is the standard. It wasn't
- 23:55Speaker 2: the standard Sunday Night. But it's got to be next
- 23:58Speaker 2: man up because it's it's really it's different players, but
- 24:01Speaker 2: it's nothing that we haven't been battling all year.
- 24:04Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, the standard is the standard, and you're
- 24:06Speaker 3: absolutely right about that.
- 24:07Speaker 1: You know, I don't.
- 24:08Speaker 3: I'm not trying, I guess I'm not trying to purposely.
- 24:11Speaker 1: Be negative or anything like that. You know, you already
- 24:13Speaker 1: know me. DT. I'm a realist. I'm a sports realist.
- 24:16Speaker 3: I'm a Bill's realist, and I just I think that
- 24:18Speaker 3: the injuries are something that definitely monitor because of the
- 24:21Speaker 3: fact that they're they're they're bountiful right now, They're plentiful.
- 24:24Speaker 1: There's enough of them to go around.
- 24:26Speaker 3: Every level of the defense seems to be affected by
- 24:28Speaker 3: some type of injury.
- 24:29Speaker 1: And we just talked about how they catch up with
- 24:31Speaker 1: you and what's that.
- 24:32Speaker 2: We're a little glassy.
- 24:34Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a little bit a little bit glassy. And
- 24:38Speaker 3: I'm not saying that we're a soft team or anything
- 24:39Speaker 3: like that. I mean, come on, we talked about in
- 24:41Speaker 3: the offseason the Bills had ridiculous, ridiculous luck when it
- 24:45Speaker 3: came to injuries and stuff like that. So you know,
- 24:46Speaker 3: anytime anybody wants to all what's wrong with the strength
- 24:49Speaker 3: and staff and all this other stuff, Like, I don't
- 24:51Speaker 3: buy any of that shit. Like we've had, We've had
- 24:53Speaker 3: more than our fair share of luck when it comes
- 24:56Speaker 3: to the fact of attrition.
- 24:57Speaker 1: I mean, it's football. It's a tough sport, so we
- 24:59Speaker 1: understand and that I just I.
- 25:01Speaker 3: Just think that some of these injuries on these types
- 25:03Speaker 3: of weeks like this is the type of team that
- 25:04Speaker 3: you don't need, you know, injuries for because of the
- 25:07Speaker 3: fact that I do feel like they can put up points.
- 25:08Speaker 3: Now again they have. They haven't looked the best or
- 25:11Speaker 3: anything like that. They got boat raced just like we
- 25:13Speaker 3: got boat raced by Minnesota. So they got boat raced
- 25:15Speaker 3: by Minnesota. They haven't put their best foot forward every
- 25:17Speaker 3: single week. But I still respect their quarterback. I definitely
- 25:20Speaker 3: respect their weapons because of the fact that they've got
- 25:22Speaker 3: so many of them go around. Even we haven't mentioned
- 25:24Speaker 3: Dalton Schultz or or mix and Whine. I don't know
- 25:27Speaker 3: if he's going to be back or not, but I
- 25:28Speaker 3: do know that those receivers in that tight end can play.
- 25:31Speaker 3: And another thing that we needed to get to dt
- 25:33Speaker 3: about it is that what is going on. You said
- 25:36Speaker 3: something about everybody eats, but like, what is what's going on?
- 25:38Speaker 3: That's why I thought that this ship was flugayzy, because
- 25:41Speaker 3: what's going Where's Where's Dalton Kinkaid?
- 25:43Speaker 1: For real? Like where is he? I know that I
- 25:46Speaker 1: know that everything.
- 25:47Speaker 3: You know, everybody gets a plate and everybody gets their fork,
- 25:49Speaker 3: and everybody's supposed to have a portion.
- 25:51Speaker 1: Dalton and Kate is getting flare outs.
- 25:52Speaker 3: He's getting those same routes that they were throwing in
- 25:54Speaker 3: Stefan Diggs in the second half of the year. Like
- 25:56Speaker 3: he's getting all these little bubble screens and then that's
- 25:59Speaker 3: it for his whole game. Like I don't understand how
- 26:01Speaker 3: he's not stretching the scenes at all. And then Curtis Samuel,
- 26:05Speaker 3: I don't even know if he plays on the team,
- 26:06Speaker 3: and I'm like, wait a.
- 26:07Speaker 1: Minute, he's our highest paid receiver.
- 26:08Speaker 3: I understand that eight million dollars is not a ton
- 26:10Speaker 3: of money, but like, what is going on?
- 26:13Speaker 2: Man?
- 26:13Speaker 3: You got to tell me something about this due Brady,
- 26:15Speaker 3: because again I told you in the beginning of year
- 26:17Speaker 3: I was gonna be watching him and I'm still looking
- 26:19Speaker 3: at him.
- 26:20Speaker 1: And I understand that we started out great, and everybody eats.
- 26:22Speaker 3: Got all the T shirts sold those first three weeks, man,
- 26:25Speaker 3: But a lot of it was situation, and we had
- 26:27Speaker 3: turnovers in that Miami game. We're playing with short fields
- 26:30Speaker 3: where the offense is not even asked to stretch out
- 26:31Speaker 3: its legs. I mean, you talk to me DT eighty six,
- 26:35Speaker 3: number one. I have not seen them all year long,
- 26:38Speaker 3: and I'm just wondering, what is up?
- 26:40Speaker 1: Man?
- 26:40Speaker 3: Because if everybody's eating, Shakir Kincaid and and Samuel were
- 26:45Speaker 3: supposed to have the biggest portion on their plate.
- 26:46Speaker 1: I thought, I thought that's what everybody wanted to tell me.
- 26:50Speaker 1: What's up?
- 26:51Speaker 2: Else?
- 26:52Speaker 1: Is there? I don't know? Man?
- 26:53Speaker 2: Yeah, well going going with one? Going with kurtis Samuel?
- 26:58Speaker 2: Eight million bucks a year? Yeah, not not a ton
- 27:00Speaker 2: of money. But put it into perspective, what what salary
- 27:03Speaker 2: is Dereck Henry on right now?
- 27:06Speaker 1: A reasonable one, A reasonable one.
- 27:07Speaker 2: Million dollars two years, two years, sixteen, so eight million years.
- 27:11Speaker 2: And they're not the same player, not the same position.
- 27:14Speaker 2: I'm not saying we should have got Derrick Henry. I'm
- 27:16Speaker 2: not saying that. I'm just saying Derrick Henry had two
- 27:19Speaker 2: touchdowns and two hundred yards against this last week and
- 27:22Speaker 2: Curtis Samuel had a pitch to Josh Allen that got
- 27:25Speaker 2: him wrecked. You know, like that was we paid the
- 27:27Speaker 2: same for both those guys. The production for Derrick Henry
- 27:30Speaker 2: was two hundred yards and two touchdowns. The production for
- 27:32Speaker 2: Curtis Samuel was a pitch to Josh Allen. So I
- 27:36Speaker 2: know there was injury talk in the beginning. You know,
- 27:38Speaker 2: we had the turf toe and he's kind of ramped.
- 27:40Speaker 2: He has increased snaps each week, But it doesn't seem
- 27:45Speaker 2: like they're targeting. Doesn't seem like there's plays in the
- 27:47Speaker 2: playbook for it doesn't seem.
- 27:49Speaker 1: You're talking about Kaid anything, talking about.
- 27:51Speaker 2: D No, Kurt Samuel right now.
- 27:53Speaker 1: Sam Yes, Sammy's like playing like a third of the steps.
- 27:55Speaker 1: He had like thirty percent of the steps the other day.
- 27:57Speaker 1: I'm like, what is going?
- 27:58Speaker 2: So that's what I'm saying the eight and eight with
- 28:01Speaker 2: Derrick Henry and him, they're we're paying the same for
- 28:03Speaker 2: these guys, and Derrick Henry is a lot more productive
- 28:05Speaker 2: than what we're in for Curtis Samuel. So maybe the
- 28:09Speaker 2: injury and we're ramping it up, but like we don't
- 28:11Speaker 2: have time to ramp it up anymore, like this dude's
- 28:13Speaker 2: got to get involved. This dude's gotta get get popping here,
- 28:16Speaker 2: like because with clerical cure out, especially this week, you know,
- 28:19Speaker 2: we're gonna need We're gonna need to see something, don't
- 28:21Speaker 2: kin Kate. On that hand, seems like it's a slow start.
- 28:26Speaker 2: And I don't know if I like these little flare
- 28:28Speaker 2: bubble routes or whatever, but it does like it seems
- 28:31Speaker 2: like there's a there is Uh, they're trying to kind
- 28:36Speaker 2: of get a rhythm a little bit. It just has
- 28:38Speaker 2: been stalled. It hasn't been but it seems they're trying
- 28:41Speaker 2: to look, look there a little more kind of game
- 28:43Speaker 2: plan to him a little more. For game one, he
- 28:46Speaker 2: was covered heavily, like they were king on him. They were,
- 28:52Speaker 2: they were all over six. Week two kind of was
- 28:56Speaker 2: maybe ocre didn't need a much. Three I think was
- 29:00Speaker 2: his best game. Obviously had the touchdown. You know, it
- 29:02Speaker 2: was all over the field, but he was getting lit
- 29:04Speaker 2: up rob Sunday. I mean a few few plays downfield
- 29:08Speaker 2: there he was getting he was getting popped, and everybody
- 29:10Speaker 2: on the team was getting popped. Everybody walks out of there,
- 29:13Speaker 2: you know, sore after Sunday night. So I agree, it's
- 29:18Speaker 2: it's a mystery. I think that Curtis samduel maybe the
- 29:21Speaker 2: injury might have something to do with it and ramp up,
- 29:23Speaker 2: but we don't have with close cere out. We don't
- 29:25Speaker 2: have time. We don't have time. We gotta we gotta
- 29:27Speaker 2: really buckle in and if everybody eats, then these dudes
- 29:30Speaker 2: gotta start eating, you know, because it's like we got
- 29:33Speaker 2: the family we got the family deal on the table,
- 29:35Speaker 2: and there's there's a lot of nuggets left, so get
- 29:38Speaker 2: it there, get your hot mustard and eat that ship
- 29:40Speaker 2: up because we don't we don't have time anymore. So
- 29:43Speaker 2: I agree it's kind of a it's it's not broken
- 29:46Speaker 2: out yet. But another week of no production from Curtis
- 29:49Speaker 2: Samuel and mediocre production from dunton Kin Cad and we
- 29:52Speaker 2: lose Sunday. It's gonna be hot next week. It's gonna
- 29:55Speaker 2: be hot. Of where are these dudes? You know, it's
- 29:57Speaker 2: gonna be a lot more. Matter of fact is there's
- 29:59Speaker 2: rumblings right now, but it's gonna take one week for
- 30:02Speaker 2: it as a matter of fact.
- 30:03Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that that's you know, it's I
- 30:06Speaker 3: think that that's so true because of the fact that
- 30:07Speaker 3: you here with the Devontae Adams rumors right now and
- 30:10Speaker 3: stuff like that in Buffalo's calling and interested in stuff,
- 30:13Speaker 3: and people are like, well, half the fans want to say, well,
- 30:15Speaker 3: let's just stick it out and let's just see.
- 30:16Speaker 1: About everybody eats.
- 30:17Speaker 3: And then I just I want to like scream at
- 30:19Speaker 3: the radio Josh Allen is in his MFM prime, Like,
- 30:24Speaker 3: why are we screwing around with Josh Allen when he's
- 30:26Speaker 3: in his prime to begin with? You know, that was
- 30:28Speaker 3: what I screamed all off season. And then they didn't
- 30:30Speaker 3: replace fourteen. And then when they didn't do it and
- 30:33Speaker 3: they said that Everybody Eats is gonna be their you know,
- 30:35Speaker 3: their campaign strategy for this season, I was like, okay,
- 30:38Speaker 3: you know, and I'm gonna be watching. Well, now you
- 30:40Speaker 3: see half the other fan bases are like, go ahead
- 30:42Speaker 3: and get to Vanta Adams because we need help, like
- 30:44Speaker 3: we need another guy that can affect the game. And
- 30:47Speaker 3: I think that it's ringing true now again, I don't.
- 30:49Speaker 3: I never really understood Joe Brady as an NFL play
- 30:53Speaker 3: caller because I've only had limited time to watch him
- 30:55Speaker 3: when he was in Carolina and then they've got that
- 30:57Speaker 3: weird owner Tepper who fires everybody, and then they fire
- 31:00Speaker 3: as coach, and the coach fired him because he was
- 31:02Speaker 3: passing too much whatever. I thought that Joe Brady was
- 31:05Speaker 3: the LSU guy, was the guy with Burrow and Jamar
- 31:08Speaker 3: Chase and Jefferson chucking the ball all over the field
- 31:11Speaker 3: and different things like that. I understand that there's more
- 31:13Speaker 3: than one way to skin a cat. He is run heavy,
- 31:16Speaker 3: he likes to run the ball, and I see a
- 31:18Speaker 3: lot of bubbleskins. I am seeing a lot of the
- 31:20Speaker 3: same stuff that I saw at the second half of
- 31:22Speaker 3: last year. And I could have swore the second half
- 31:24Speaker 3: of last year was Triage. I could have swore the
- 31:26Speaker 3: second half of last year was him just getting us
- 31:29Speaker 3: on the operating table and trying to literally save the season.
- 31:31Speaker 3: You're not trying to save the season right now. It's
- 31:33Speaker 3: the beginning of the season. Let's go win some fucking games.
- 31:35Speaker 3: And I'm just I'm just a little bit nervous man
- 31:38Speaker 3: because of the fact that I was never sold on
- 31:39Speaker 3: Everybody Eats, and Week.
- 31:41Speaker 1: Two and Week three didn't do anything to make me
- 31:44Speaker 1: feel better about Everybody Eats.
- 31:45Speaker 3: It was because of the fact that the game scripts
- 31:47Speaker 3: were so messed up that like, I never even got
- 31:49Speaker 3: a chance to see this offense stretch its legs. Like
- 31:51Speaker 3: I said, so last week you had an opponent getting
- 31:54Speaker 3: ready to hit you in the mouth, physical, ready to
- 31:56Speaker 3: go on their side of the ball on offense, and
- 31:57Speaker 3: I needed some response from the offense.
- 31:59Speaker 1: And I didn't get hit it from my coordinator.
- 32:00Speaker 3: I saw again a lot of bubble screens out to
- 32:04Speaker 3: Kincaid and just nothing stretching the field.
- 32:05Speaker 1: I thought that he was supposed to be a matchup nightmare.
- 32:07Speaker 3: It's not a matchup nightmare for a quick flare out
- 32:10Speaker 3: route and then you're trying to see how many guys
- 32:12Speaker 3: he can elude and get five, six, seven yards. Like
- 32:14Speaker 3: that's not what I thought I was getting with Dalton Kincaid.
- 32:16Speaker 3: And like I said, I didn't even know Curtis Samuels
- 32:18Speaker 3: on the team. Obviously, everybody talks about MBS dropping the ball.
- 32:22Speaker 3: At least give him a chance to drop the ball.
- 32:24Speaker 3: He doesn't even play. I'm like, who's this guy, Deontay Hardy?
- 32:27Speaker 3: Like you're not even giving him a chance for us
- 32:29Speaker 3: to get mad at him as Bill's Mabi, Like you're
- 32:31Speaker 3: not even giving hi an opportunity because he's not out there,
- 32:33Speaker 3: so you know, I don't know.
- 32:34Speaker 1: Man, it's weird.
- 32:36Speaker 3: And and before we transition, I just wanted to get
- 32:38Speaker 3: your thoughts on the DeVante Adams you know talk, because
- 32:42Speaker 3: I mean.
- 32:42Speaker 1: Are you sold?
- 32:43Speaker 3: Are you ready to go? Everybody eats and buy your shirt?
- 32:44Speaker 3: And voted the holes like are you cool? You're cool
- 32:47Speaker 3: with all this?
- 32:48Speaker 2: Well, it's got to be. It's got to be, right,
- 32:51Speaker 2: I mean, what other option is there? Right, It's got
- 32:53Speaker 2: to be everybody eats, So let's start getting everybody to eat.
- 32:56Speaker 2: Like you said, we're god guys that aren't e So
- 32:59Speaker 2: let's let's get everybody to eat, and then let's decide
- 33:02Speaker 2: if everybody eats is good or not. That's That's where
- 33:04Speaker 2: I'm at because there's what's the other option, right, go
- 33:07Speaker 2: to it and.
- 33:08Speaker 1: Give them the second round or a third rounder?
- 33:10Speaker 2: What else? But like the other option right now? So
- 33:13Speaker 2: the option is everybody eats, So let's get everybody at
- 33:15Speaker 2: least eating before we can make that call.
- 33:19Speaker 1: Okay, I guess as we transition.
- 33:23Speaker 3: Tonight's episode, oh man, I mean it's it's tough sometimes.
- 33:28Speaker 3: Tonight's episode, as all of our episodes are presented by

- 34:08Speaker 1: DT. As we transitioned to Houston, I've been waiting for
- 34:13Speaker 1: this one.
- 34:14Speaker 3: This one has been circled for a little while for
- 34:15Speaker 3: me because of the fact that you already know everybody
- 34:17Speaker 3: knows Nichols City Crew that I was a Stefan Diggs,
- 34:21Speaker 3: you know, just a supporter. I became a Stephan Diggs apologist,
- 34:25Speaker 3: and then I became a Stepfan Diggs. Like, let's put
- 34:27Speaker 3: on some gloves because I'm getting ready to fight, y'all.
- 34:29Speaker 3: After that Ota fiasco at the beginning of last year,
- 34:32Speaker 3: it was crazy to me how Bill's mafia split on
- 34:35Speaker 3: him so fast and a lot defected.
- 34:37Speaker 1: Not all, I'm not.
- 34:38Speaker 3: Gonna accuse the entire mafia, but a lot of people
- 34:40Speaker 3: after that Ota fiasco with McDermott lying to us and
- 34:44Speaker 3: different things like that, they switched and they said, get
- 34:46Speaker 3: him the hell out of here, even though he was
- 34:47Speaker 3: so completely productive, helped Josh Allen become the quarterback that
- 34:51Speaker 3: he is, and we've all we've had many episodes talking
- 34:53Speaker 3: about all of that. He's got his new digs pun
- 34:56Speaker 3: intended DT down there in Houston, and you know, I
- 35:01Speaker 3: literally think that he's going to be trying to tear
- 35:04Speaker 3: faces off on the defense on that weekend. And if
- 35:07Speaker 3: I'm the defensive back coach, I'm telling them, you know, listen,
- 35:10Speaker 3: that first catch he gets, he's gonna be talking shit
- 35:12Speaker 3: to you. He's gonna get up, he's gonna be trying
- 35:13Speaker 3: to energize the crowd, all of that type of stuff.
- 35:16Speaker 3: You know, you're gonna hear the whole you know, thank
- 35:18Speaker 3: you Buffalo Chance and stuff like that. And when he
- 35:19Speaker 3: gets involved, be ready for that, and then in true
- 35:22Speaker 3: quarterback force fashion, be ready to get that out of
- 35:25Speaker 3: your mind.
- 35:25Speaker 1: Next play, next play.
- 35:26Speaker 3: I think is going to be a big deal on
- 35:28Speaker 3: Sunday for these young quarterbacks Benford, Bernard excuse me, Benford,
- 35:33Speaker 3: and Rasuell Douglass, along with even if Elam gets on
- 35:36Speaker 3: the field as well. Those guys have cam Lewis in
- 35:38Speaker 3: the slot, have a short memory. Understand that this guy
- 35:42Speaker 3: is gonna be talking shit, He's going to be motivating
- 35:44Speaker 3: to his team, he's gonna be trying to motivate the crowd.
- 35:47Speaker 3: Be ready for all of it. Basically, be prepared because
- 35:50Speaker 3: it's funny. He plays with such an intensity that he
- 35:53Speaker 3: forces you to either come up to that intensity level
- 35:57Speaker 3: and meet him or you're gonna get ran over. And
- 35:59Speaker 3: he did that with his own teammates, so you know
- 36:00Speaker 3: he's going to be doing that to the opponent. And
- 36:02Speaker 3: that's just keeping the real man. That's the kind of
- 36:04Speaker 3: player he is.
- 36:06Speaker 2: It's going to be a tall test. It's gonna be
- 36:07Speaker 2: a tall test. I mean, it's a dude that is
- 36:09Speaker 2: a is a bulldog and gets pumped up, you know
- 36:12Speaker 2: for like what what in Michael Jordan used to say
- 36:15Speaker 2: that he used to just make ship up to get
- 36:17Speaker 2: pissed off about. You know, he used to like make
- 36:19Speaker 2: something up to get just like, oh he said this,
- 36:22Speaker 2: and he he didn't. He didn't get up to get
- 36:24Speaker 2: pissed off. And he's intense anyway, and now he actually
- 36:28Speaker 2: has a real I don't you know.
- 36:30Speaker 1: I know what you mean. I know what you mean.
- 36:32Speaker 2: There's a reason to actually get upset about this because
- 36:35Speaker 2: he heard those things, you know, when people were talking
- 36:37Speaker 2: after the OTAs and after this, and he's a diva.
- 36:41Speaker 2: He heard those things, and he's like, all right.
- 36:42Speaker 1: He liked one of my tweets back then when I
- 36:44Speaker 1: was definitive it. I'm like, y'all need to chill out, man.
- 36:48Speaker 2: And the one there like, well, Josh Allen doesn't need
- 36:50Speaker 2: a top receiver to be successful, he.
- 36:52Speaker 1: Says, you.
- 36:54Speaker 2: Know whatever, I don't think the feud is as big
- 36:57Speaker 2: as the feud that the media wants it to make.
- 37:00Speaker 2: But for someone that can make stuff up to get
- 37:03Speaker 2: pissed off doesn't have to make stuff up Sunday. You
- 37:07Speaker 2: know it's gonna it's gonna be a tall task, but
- 37:09Speaker 2: like you said, that's gotta be the mentality going in
- 37:11Speaker 2: from this Bills defense of this dude is just another
- 37:13Speaker 2: slot guy. This dude is just another dude that's at
- 37:16Speaker 2: the end of his career that isn't gonna that isn't
- 37:18Speaker 2: gonna cook us. And that's what the motto has to
- 37:21Speaker 2: be in the mantra. And that's why I said, Tarren Johnson,
- 37:24Speaker 2: if he plays, you know, that's gonna be huge because
- 37:26Speaker 2: it's he probably did. Stefan Diggs wasn't just doing that
- 37:30Speaker 2: on game day. He was probably he probably sucked to
- 37:32Speaker 2: go up against and practice every every day. You know,
- 37:35Speaker 2: he probably sucked, but like to have to deal with
- 37:37Speaker 2: it that come on man, like it's it's Wednesday afternoon,
- 37:40Speaker 2: Like why why you gotta be like this? And he's
- 37:43Speaker 2: just every every play, you know, and so everybody's ready
- 37:47Speaker 2: for it. It's it's Tarren Johnson. And so that's why
- 37:50Speaker 2: I think it's crucial that he's got to get back
- 37:51Speaker 2: in and give us some reps on Sunday. It's gonna
- 37:54Speaker 2: be a ramp up. Obviously he's been out since week one, but.
- 37:56Speaker 1: He's not doing any context stuff.
- 37:58Speaker 2: I don't know the familiarity to say like Okay, yeah,
- 38:01Speaker 2: we know we know your dog, Digs, but like this
- 38:03Speaker 2: is all barking right now, we we know if we
- 38:05Speaker 2: can lock you up and make it happen. So that's
- 38:08Speaker 2: got to be the mentality in this defense. And yeah,
- 38:10Speaker 2: you're right. I think the Bills kind of have to
- 38:12Speaker 2: hope that the Texans buy into this a little too much.
- 38:15Speaker 2: Right but oh one for or now he's number one, right,
- 38:19Speaker 2: So one, we're getting you like, we're getting you back,
- 38:21Speaker 2: like they say you're diva. Nah, Like we're gonna show
- 38:24Speaker 2: him you're your dog. We're gonna show them your dog.
- 38:26Speaker 2: And then I So that's my hope that they buy
- 38:28Speaker 2: into it a little too much. They try to make
- 38:30Speaker 2: that the two they try to dig in a little.
- 38:34Speaker 1: They're gonna try to make that the rally.
- 38:35Speaker 2: And instead of saying like this is an ANC opponent
- 38:39Speaker 2: that that we need to be. It doesn't matter that
- 38:41Speaker 2: Digs used to play there or whatever. So that's my
- 38:44Speaker 2: hope that they really buy into it and dig into
- 38:46Speaker 2: it too much and it gets them off the main
- 38:48Speaker 2: game plan. And you know, we can attack accordingly. But yeah,
- 38:51Speaker 2: we can't overlook this. But we can't over you know,
- 38:54Speaker 2: we can't make it bigger than you know, make it
- 38:56Speaker 2: bigger than it is because they'll win that battle and
- 38:59Speaker 2: feed into it. They got the crowd, they'll have, they'll
- 39:01Speaker 2: have everything behind them when it comes to that, so familiarity,
- 39:06Speaker 2: it's gonna be tough. He's gonna want to torch us.
- 39:09Speaker 2: I hope, and I hope, I hope the Texans buy
- 39:13Speaker 2: into that kind of And they're a young team, so
- 39:16Speaker 2: they kind of immaturely buy into that a little bit. CJ.
- 39:19Speaker 3: Stroud, you know, the young maybe forcing them, maybe forcing
- 39:22Speaker 3: him the ball a little bit maturely buys into it
- 39:24Speaker 3: and tries to force the ship that's up there, and
- 39:26Speaker 3: and we make them pay for it. Yeah, I think
- 39:28Speaker 3: that that that that's a good point. I didn't think
- 39:30Speaker 3: about that because they are young team. They're they're they're
- 39:32Speaker 3: learning how to win there. This is the first you know,
- 39:34Speaker 3: somebody mentioned today that this is their first time playing
- 39:36Speaker 3: through a first place schedule since the Bill O'Brien days,
- 39:38Speaker 3: Like this is a whole different regime, a whole different
- 39:41Speaker 3: staff and and a bunch of players.
- 39:42Speaker 1: So I agree with you.
- 39:43Speaker 3: I like that that point a lot, because I didn't
- 39:45Speaker 3: even think about it from that angle. You're absolutely right,
- 39:47Speaker 3: they are young, maybe they can get you know, CJ
- 39:50Speaker 3: to kind of focus in a little bit more on
- 39:51Speaker 3: on Stefan dis.
- 39:52Speaker 1: You know, it's like that around the NFL. But you know,
- 39:55Speaker 1: almost all the time when they're.
- 39:56Speaker 3: Facing the former team, the coaches want to do they
- 39:58Speaker 3: want to make a point to let that guy get off,
- 40:01Speaker 3: especially if it was something that was contentious or something
- 40:03Speaker 3: like that. They definitely want that guy, you know, who
- 40:04Speaker 3: gets the game ball every week. You know, it's the
- 40:06Speaker 3: guys that's playing their former teams and stuff like that,
- 40:09Speaker 3: unless there's another guy that blew up. So I definitely
- 40:12Speaker 3: agree with you on that that there might be a
- 40:13Speaker 3: little bit sliver of an opening there for them to
- 40:16Speaker 3: maybe get c J.
- 40:17Speaker 1: Stroud in the offense off this game.
- 40:18Speaker 3: But it's hard to get him off the game when
- 40:20Speaker 3: you've got a receiver like Digs and then when you
- 40:21Speaker 3: got somebody like Collins, who is clearly a top five receiver.
- 40:25Speaker 3: He looks like a monster. Every single week I see
- 40:28Speaker 3: him doing shit and I'm just like, this is the
- 40:30Speaker 3: this is the guy that I would love to have.
- 40:32Speaker 3: He looks like a he looks like a slimmer. DK
- 40:35Speaker 3: Metcalf with all of the ball skills and that you
- 40:37Speaker 3: ever want.
- 40:38Speaker 2: Like, he's in the league by like two hundred yards.
- 40:42Speaker 1: He's ridiculous.
- 40:43Speaker 2: Man, he is close, like the second place receiver in yards,
- 40:47Speaker 2: He's like two hundred yards behind him.
- 40:48Speaker 3: He's ridiculous. Yeah, so Bill's have to stay on their
- 40:52Speaker 3: p's and q's this week. It's gonna be imperative to
- 40:55Speaker 3: do that. And I like that point though. Maybe they
- 40:57Speaker 3: can get c J. Stroud to focus a little bit
- 41:00Speaker 3: too much on number one down there in H Town.
- 41:02Speaker 1: Maybe I like that.
- 41:03Speaker 2: And we know CJ. Stroud likes to talk, Oh God,
- 41:07Speaker 2: he likes the storyline of oh yeah, we got you
- 41:10Speaker 2: with digs, we got you with digs and likes to
- 41:12Speaker 2: talk about it on his little podcast or whatever whatever
- 41:16Speaker 2: kissed me off all off season. But they yeah, to
- 41:19Speaker 2: buy into the kind of the new culture and the
- 41:22Speaker 2: headline more than this is an AFC battle.
- 41:26Speaker 3: Yeah, that gets a worthy opponent, and we are worthy
- 41:29Speaker 3: in order. Despite the injuries, I think that we are
- 41:30Speaker 3: going to put up a good game again. My main
- 41:33Speaker 3: focus and my main concern is the injuries. How are
- 41:37Speaker 3: they going to catch up with us? Last week I
- 41:38Speaker 3: saw I thought that they actually caught up with us
- 41:40Speaker 3: a little bit especially on the defensive side of the football.
- 41:42Speaker 1: Now you got some more, So we're going.
- 41:44Speaker 3: To see how they deal with it, to be honest, man,
- 41:46Speaker 3: But one o'clock Sunday Bills in Houston. Now, as we
- 41:51Speaker 3: begin to wrap up tonight the Nickel City Crew Tailgate

- 43:35Speaker 3: now the tailgate report DT uh mine was a little bit.
- 43:38Speaker 3: It was It was funny because you know, we we
- 43:40Speaker 3: stay quick on our feet, right, I always say it,
- 43:42Speaker 3: we stay quick at our feet, we adjust.
- 43:44Speaker 1: We we audible around here at the Crippen House.
- 43:46Speaker 3: So they because of the hurricane, and again, our prayers
- 43:49Speaker 3: and thoughts are with all the people that have been
- 43:51Speaker 3: affected by the hurricane. I know in North Carolina where
- 43:53Speaker 3: I am DT, it's been crazy some miles up the
- 43:57Speaker 3: road in Asheville and in the mountains and stuff like that.
- 43:59Speaker 3: So thoughts some prayers are are with those people as well,
- 44:02Speaker 3: and as they begin to try to rebuild because of
- 44:05Speaker 3: the hurricane and canceled school DT like it.
- 44:07Speaker 1: Was like, I don't know, like five o'clock in the afternoon.
- 44:10Speaker 3: So if you know anything, if you remember back when
- 44:12Speaker 3: you were a kid, kids, what happens when you find
- 44:14Speaker 3: out that there's a snow day early. If you find
- 44:16Speaker 3: out early enough, then you really are going buck wild.
- 44:19Speaker 3: And the cript Kings did not disappoint. They were amped
- 44:23Speaker 3: up when they found out there was no school. So
- 44:25Speaker 3: they were all playing and they were supposed to be
- 44:27Speaker 3: going back to the mother's houses.
- 44:28Speaker 1: And then just everybody was just like, Okay, well fuck it,
- 44:31Speaker 1: just come on over.
- 44:31Speaker 2: I'm cooking anyway, everybody might as.
- 44:33Speaker 1: Well just come over.
- 44:34Speaker 3: Rebecca, my ex wife, her niece had no power, so
- 44:37Speaker 3: she was with her too.
- 44:38Speaker 1: So it was like it was like a party we had.
- 44:40Speaker 3: I had the first party here at the at the
- 44:42Speaker 3: new house, and you know, I just I grilled out,
- 44:44Speaker 3: DT did support tender, Lloyd did some crab legs. Nate
- 44:47Speaker 3: I did crab legs because it was Baltimore, Maryland. So
- 44:50Speaker 3: I had some crab legs on the grill, steaming up
- 44:53Speaker 3: and getting ready, and Nate really loves crab legs. And
- 44:55Speaker 3: then everybody was just munching on those as well, with
- 44:57Speaker 3: the butter and all, you know, putting hot sauce in
- 44:59Speaker 3: the but and all the other good stuff. So we
- 45:01Speaker 3: had we hooked it up. Now, I hooked it up
- 45:03Speaker 3: for sure. It just was impromptu. I wasn't expecting all
- 45:06Speaker 3: these day babies, and all of a sudden they canceled
- 45:08Speaker 3: school and like they were just they were they were
- 45:10Speaker 3: wide open.
- 45:11Speaker 1: Nobody was trying to go anywhere. Everybody was chilling uh
- 45:14Speaker 1: and they were they were playing hard.
- 45:15Speaker 3: So I was like, well, your mothers might as well
- 45:17Speaker 3: come over because you guys are clearly not going anywhere.
- 45:19Speaker 1: So it was. It was a good day though.
- 45:21Speaker 3: We enjoyed the game obviously until you know, until the
- 45:26Speaker 3: no we did start.
- 45:27Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's my tailgate report.
- 45:31Speaker 2: We were chilling well, at least at least that seemed
- 45:33Speaker 2: fun up until the game, for sure. Quite the opposite,
- 45:36Speaker 2: Quite the opposite of my tailgate report.
- 45:38Speaker 1: Rob.
- 45:38Speaker 2: I mean we Saturday night. You know it's the roommate,
- 45:42Speaker 2: Zach three, Linden Broncos fan. We'll give him a shot out.
- 45:46Speaker 2: It was his birthday. It was actually his birthday on
- 45:48Speaker 2: game day on Sunday. Oh wow, okay, but we went
- 45:50Speaker 2: out Saturday for his birthday, went to a nice little
- 45:52Speaker 2: restaurant we like, uh, had all our friends come with us.
- 45:55Speaker 2: It's called Ga Kobe's down on Allentown. Nice and talent
- 45:58Speaker 2: and joint. I definitely recommend it to anybody. It's a
- 46:01Speaker 2: it's a good spot, that's a that's a free ad.
- 46:03Speaker 2: So maybe you know, uh, uh free garlic Brett next
- 46:06Speaker 2: time I go in there. But they went out there
- 46:10Speaker 2: Saturday night and uh we got got after a little bit,
- 46:14Speaker 2: got after the squad. The squad was in it, and
- 46:17Speaker 2: you know, it was one of those things where you like,
- 46:19Speaker 2: you really weren't planning on it. It's just you were going
- 46:21Speaker 2: to a nice dinner. So before we leave, you know,
- 46:23Speaker 2: you have a couple of drinks, and then you get
- 46:25Speaker 2: to dinner and have a couple of drinks, and then
- 46:26Speaker 2: you want to go out a little and then it's
- 46:28Speaker 2: like you don't really know, it gets it gets after
- 46:31Speaker 2: you a little bit. And I had some obligations the
- 46:34Speaker 2: next day. You know, it was with my nephew early
- 46:38Speaker 2: you're two years old, and that dude doesn't you know,
- 46:42Speaker 2: doesn't doesn't realize Uncle him might be a little hungover
- 46:46Speaker 2: and take it, take it slow. You know. We were
- 46:49Speaker 2: we were full board at nine am the next day.
- 46:52Speaker 2: And uh so I got home one o'clock and I
- 46:55Speaker 2: was like, okay, I'm feeling good. You know, I'm not
- 46:57Speaker 2: as bad as I thought I was. And and then
- 46:59Speaker 2: you know, halftime at the one o'clock games, and I
- 47:02Speaker 2: was like, okay, I'm I'm shot. You know, I just
- 47:06Speaker 2: take a little mat'll reset and be ready for you know,
- 47:09Speaker 2: Sunday night ball. Oh you know, did that tried to
- 47:12Speaker 2: get right, but It was just a quiet, kind of
- 47:15Speaker 2: dark day, you know, was tired and and was almost
- 47:19Speaker 2: like all right, like we really have to wait till
- 47:21Speaker 2: eight thirty for this game, like almost annoy you know,
- 47:23Speaker 2: usually game damn pumped up for kickoff, and I was like,
- 47:26Speaker 2: I'm annoyed. I gotta wait till eight thirty. So just
- 47:28Speaker 2: the whole mind was off, the little vibe was off,
- 47:31Speaker 2: and that you know, that was my fault by by
- 47:33Speaker 2: all means. But and I just was like, oh man,
- 47:36Speaker 2: if we get killed tonight, it's gonna really suck. And
- 47:38Speaker 2: like I was just moping. I was, you know, I
- 47:40Speaker 2: wasn't in a positive regular dr So the tailgate report
- 47:45Speaker 2: was real, was real light. Our creative director Olivia came over.
- 47:49Speaker 2: She brought over some uh some pizza, h and we
- 47:53Speaker 2: just you know, nice quiet night, turned it on and
- 47:58Speaker 2: and basically halftime, I wasn't like kicking people out, but
- 48:02Speaker 2: I was like making strong hints like all right, if
- 48:06Speaker 2: they don't score for here, I'm going to bed, you know,
- 48:09Speaker 2: like say it home, saying strong hints to like everybody get.
- 48:13Speaker 3: The host is kicking people out by halftime, that's why
- 48:16Speaker 3: I can't host.
- 48:18Speaker 2: Was real. It was kind of somber and pitiful.
- 48:21Speaker 1: To be honest, Oh, I love you so much DT.
- 48:23Speaker 3: That that is so funny because that is that you know,
- 48:26Speaker 3: like I won't kick people out, but like I just
- 48:28Speaker 3: you know, by the time it was halftime, I just
- 48:30Speaker 3: went to the shed, went out, started smoking and just
- 48:33Speaker 3: like out there and I was just like, you know what,
- 48:34Speaker 3: I'm not even coming back in the house.
- 48:36Speaker 1: Everybody was still all the kids still running around.
- 48:38Speaker 3: They don't have any school, Like, you know, they don't
- 48:40Speaker 3: you know, they you know, they care, but they don't care.
- 48:42Speaker 1: You know, Nate cares, but not like that. And you
- 48:44Speaker 1: know they don't have school tomorrow.
- 48:45Speaker 2: So I'm like, you know what.
- 48:47Speaker 3: I'm just gonna go outside because I just, uh, I
- 48:49Speaker 3: can feel that energy, man, when when the game gets
- 48:51Speaker 3: out of it. And again, we haven't had that feeling
- 48:53Speaker 3: in a long time. The Bills are in every game,
- 48:55Speaker 3: so so at least even if we're losing or we're
- 48:57Speaker 3: winning barely, you're not gonna get blown out. So it
- 49:00Speaker 3: was a unique feeling, and it was a feeling I
- 49:02Speaker 3: haven't had in a long time, like I said, since
- 49:03Speaker 3: that Indianapolis game where I was really pissed when Jonathan
- 49:08Speaker 3: Taylor was just running. He just kept right and I'm
- 49:09Speaker 3: just like, I drove up for this shit like this
- 49:11Speaker 3: is this is horrible, and now I have to drive
- 49:14Speaker 3: back home to Charlotte.
- 49:15Speaker 1: I was so mad. So that's kind of how it
- 49:17Speaker 1: was on Sunday.
- 49:17Speaker 3: Man, I was by halftime, I was like, man, they
- 49:19Speaker 3: got a score right away because this is really pissing
- 49:22Speaker 3: me off. And then obviously the game with the way
- 49:24Speaker 3: that it did, so.
- 49:25Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see. Man.
- 49:26Speaker 3: You know, it's it's funny because just you know, the season,
- 49:31Speaker 3: it's just funny how it's.
- 49:31Speaker 1: A week to week league.
- 49:32Speaker 3: Last week we're talking about how week the AFC could
- 49:35Speaker 3: be and what's you know what, let me find out
- 49:37Speaker 3: I nade the episode, and then this week it's you know,
- 49:40Speaker 3: just you know, grab your plate, everybody eats, here's here's
- 49:43Speaker 3: a piece of humble pie, and it's fine.
- 49:45Speaker 1: I like that. The fact that it's in the beginning
- 49:46Speaker 1: of the year.
- 49:47Speaker 3: Again, the bills don't get blown out oft in DT,
- 49:49Speaker 3: so you know, I can deal with that to a
- 49:51Speaker 3: certain degree. I just want to find a way to
- 49:53Speaker 3: get healthy. It just seems like dating back to last
- 49:56Speaker 3: year DT. As we wrap up tonight, it just seems
- 49:58Speaker 3: like it's always like the you know, oh, we could
- 50:01Speaker 3: have beat Kansas City if if Matt Milano was wasn't hurt,
- 50:05Speaker 3: or or we could have found a way if if
- 50:07Speaker 3: you know what I mean, if so and so wasn't injured,
- 50:09Speaker 3: or the defense, you know, and it's just like, oh,
- 50:10Speaker 3: we had to take you know what's it called aj
- 50:13Speaker 3: Klein off the couch.
- 50:13Speaker 1: And it's like, I'm just I want there to be
- 50:16Speaker 1: no more excuses.
- 50:17Speaker 3: Do you want you understand what I mean when I
- 50:18Speaker 3: say that, Like I don't want the excuses of injuries.
- 50:20Speaker 1: I want everybody I understand that.
- 50:21Speaker 3: It's not a video game where you can turn off
- 50:23Speaker 3: the injury settings, because that's exactly what I do with
- 50:25Speaker 3: my video games.
- 50:26Speaker 1: Like I'm like, I'm playing fantasy right now.
- 50:28Speaker 3: Why would I let my guys get hurt in a
- 50:30Speaker 3: fantasy world that doesn't make any sense? Like I turned
- 50:32Speaker 3: injuries off. I want to play with my guys. I
- 50:34Speaker 3: just want to see the bills hole, man, I really do.
- 50:36Speaker 3: I want to see the bills hole DT And it
- 50:38Speaker 3: just seems like I can't get there.
- 50:41Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, you're right, And like all the excuses
- 50:44Speaker 2: kind of come together of you know, we their Kansas
- 50:48Speaker 2: City game was we were like, oh we we got
- 50:52Speaker 2: we need the Chiefs at home, and then we come
- 50:54Speaker 2: at home and then it's like, oh, well we didn't
- 50:56Speaker 2: have Matt Milano and then you know, so yeah, those
- 50:59Speaker 2: who are good for making excuses or seldom good for
- 51:01Speaker 2: anything else but true. We gotta find a way to
- 51:04Speaker 2: get healthy, We gotta find a way to get in
- 51:05Speaker 2: a rhythm, and you know, and that's it all comes
- 51:08Speaker 2: down to the leadership. It all comes down to the
- 51:09Speaker 2: coaching and one seven to kind of bring elevate whoever
- 51:12Speaker 2: we got out there, we need to elevate and and
- 51:15Speaker 2: move forward and make them better. We can have a
- 51:17Speaker 2: piece of the humble pie. That's fine, you know, every
- 51:21Speaker 2: I think, you know, it is what it is. We
- 51:23Speaker 2: might have needed it. We weren't as good as we
- 51:25Speaker 2: thought we were in those three weeks, and we might
- 51:27Speaker 2: have needed that humble pie. But there's a lot better
- 51:29Speaker 2: ways to eat it than than getting your shit kicked
- 51:31Speaker 2: in like that. So that's unacceptable. They should have they
- 51:35Speaker 2: should take it personal this week. One seven should be
- 51:38Speaker 2: a raging asshole all week long and in practice that
- 51:43Speaker 2: we're not going seventeen at all. You know this, this
- 51:45Speaker 2: might not be the team of the century, the best
- 51:48Speaker 2: Bills team ever, but we're going to we're gonna demand
- 51:52Speaker 2: respect when we go out on that gridiron, and we didn't.
- 51:55Speaker 2: We didn't deserve any respect last week. So take a
- 51:58Speaker 2: piece of the humble pie, but you don't need to
- 52:00Speaker 2: eat it like that. It's unacceptable and they should take
- 52:02Speaker 2: it personal going into this week.
- 52:04Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
- 52:06Speaker 3: When you talk about Josh being a raged asshole, it
- 52:08Speaker 3: just made me think of Mama Monday. I don't I
- 52:09Speaker 3: don't even think he's really built that way. So I
- 52:12Speaker 3: doubt that that he's been like that this week around
- 52:14Speaker 3: the office. But you know, like you talked about his
- 52:17Speaker 3: like you've talked about in the off season, he's got
- 52:18Speaker 3: to he's got to take his level of leadership to
- 52:21Speaker 3: a different, you know, different level and and and kind
- 52:24Speaker 3: of change some of the things about his stripes in
- 52:25Speaker 3: that respect. So maybe he's channeling some of that, but
- 52:28Speaker 3: we'll see. But I'm excited for the game, I really am.
- 52:30Speaker 3: I've been, like I said, I circled this one on
- 52:32Speaker 3: the calendar since the beginning of the year because of
- 52:35Speaker 3: the whole drama and you know, obviously, like because I
- 52:38Speaker 3: was a supporter of his and I'm excited to see
- 52:40Speaker 3: how the Bills play again. The injuries kind of suck,
- 52:42Speaker 3: but you know, you still got to strap up and
- 52:44Speaker 3: go out there. We've we've lauded, you know, McDermott for
- 52:47Speaker 3: his ability to get these guys ready to play, even
- 52:49Speaker 3: the backups. Now is going to be another time, big
- 52:51Speaker 3: time test. You're losing Oliver, you're losing Johnson, you're losing Rap. Okay,
- 52:56Speaker 3: well then now it's time to step up. You don't
- 52:57Speaker 3: have Shakiro on the offensive side of the ball. Okay, Well,
- 53:00Speaker 3: now I want to see something. Everybody eats like you
- 53:02Speaker 3: talked about, I want to see something. I want to
- 53:03Speaker 3: see this work. I really do. When I heard about
- 53:06Speaker 3: DeVante Adams, I'm like, yes, you know, like I don't
- 53:08Speaker 3: care what's the price, second round pick, Yes, go get them.
- 53:10Speaker 3: And I understand that I'm you know, I'm not a
- 53:12Speaker 3: proponent of everybody eat. So that's probably why I'm so
- 53:15Speaker 3: quick to pull the plug on it. And I can
- 53:17Speaker 3: admit that about myself, but I am I'll be watching
- 53:21Speaker 3: Joe Brady for sure this week again because it just
- 53:24Speaker 3: hasn't hasn't really been working for me thus far.
- 53:27Speaker 1: Again, the short fields kind of skew it a little bit,
- 53:30Speaker 1: if that makes sense.
- 53:31Speaker 2: DT.
- 53:31Speaker 3: Those that mining game was not really we didn't really
- 53:34Speaker 3: have to do shit, you know, So we'll see how
- 53:36Speaker 3: it works out. I'm excited for the game, DT, you
- 53:38Speaker 3: enjoy it as well. Listen out there, over five hundred
- 53:41Speaker 3: people watching tonight. We really appreciate all of the love
- 53:44Speaker 3: and support DT, as he talked about, We've got some
- 53:46Speaker 3: giveaways next week as well coming up. Listen, spread love
- 53:49Speaker 3: out there. Not heye, these were my bills thoughts set
- 53:51Speaker 3: out loud hit him with a go bills, DT, Let's go.
- 53:54Speaker 3: We took that humble pie.
- 53:55Speaker 2: Let's go bills. Go bills. Glad it's on Friday now.
- 54:01Speaker 2: I'm pumped up instead of depressed from the week before.
- 54:03Speaker 2: Pumped up. Go bills four one. Let's get down all right.
- 54:08Speaker 1: I love it man, Go bills, Go bills,
