- 2:44Speaker 1: And credit to you, Rob for really hating in. You're like,
- 2:46Speaker 1: I'm not until it's it strikes eight. That's that's the schedule,
- 2:49Speaker 1: And I agree, you're right, I don't, but it's we're antsy.
- 2:53Speaker 1: We're ready to get into it and see what this
- 2:56Speaker 1: year has to bring. At the end of the day,
- 2:58Speaker 1: it's our path to the first Super Bowl, to the parade,
- 3:01Speaker 1: to what we want at nicol City Crew, to what
- 3:03Speaker 1: we want to builds Mafia to everything. So this is
- 3:06Speaker 1: this is the start of it. We've been blessed this
- 3:08Speaker 1: year with the Sabers kind of helping us bridge that
- 3:10Speaker 1: gap where it hasn't felt as long and we haven't
- 3:11Speaker 1: been as antsy. But shit, I mean yesterday I was.
- 3:14Speaker 1: I was as giddy as ever to wait for this
- 3:16Speaker 1: to come out. A lot of plans, like we said,
- 3:18Speaker 1: a lot of excitement. It kind of opens up. I mean,
- 3:20Speaker 1: the group chats, we have the tail big banging on
- 3:23Speaker 1: the tailgate group chat, like things started popping off. Once
- 3:25Speaker 1: the schedule starts going, you get that rowdyness around you
- 3:28Speaker 1: with the mafia and like the excitement's back, Like you
- 3:31Speaker 1: get to taste again what you're about to get into
- 3:33Speaker 1: for the next you know, seven eight months, and I
- 3:36Speaker 1: can't wait, Baby, I can't wait. Let's go schedule twenty
- 3:39Speaker 1: twenty six. The Road to the Super Bowl, Roll to
- 3:41Speaker 1: the Bowl.
- 3:42Speaker 4: I love it, man, I love it. I love your energy.
- 3:44Speaker 4: And it's exactly why, you know.
- 3:46Speaker 2: I was talking with somebody on Twitter there were you know,
- 3:48Speaker 2: I was like, this is the most important day because
- 3:50Speaker 2: somebody was like, Oh, it shouldn't be a day, it
- 3:52Speaker 2: shouldn't be.
- 3:52Speaker 4: An event, and I'm like, what are you talking about.
- 3:54Speaker 2: I'm like, it is the most important day outside of
- 3:57Speaker 2: actual games because the fact that everything we just talked
- 4:01Speaker 2: about in and it makes it even more special because
- 4:04Speaker 2: we're going into that new stadium and the new Ralph
- 4:07Speaker 2: or a new Heimarch or whatever you want to call it.
- 4:09Speaker 2: I know we'll come up with a catch your name
- 4:11Speaker 2: down the road, but for now, DT, I mean, it's
- 4:14Speaker 2: just it's such a special season because of the fact that,
- 4:17Speaker 2: you know, nineteen seventy three was a long time ago,
- 4:19Speaker 2: like the Ralph is all we've ever known, you know,
- 4:21Speaker 2: and then obviously for that previous generation, they've got you know,
- 4:25Speaker 2: War Memorial right there on Jefferson investment. Outside of that, Like,
- 4:28Speaker 2: this is you know, historic, this is something that you'll
- 4:30Speaker 2: share with your family.
- 4:31Speaker 4: You know that.
- 4:32Speaker 2: We'll talk about the home opener in a minute, but
- 4:35Speaker 2: as we go through the schedule. But like, this is
- 4:36Speaker 2: a big deal in respects to Bill's Buffalo, Bill's history.
- 4:40Speaker 4: And the history of the Mafia.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Going into that new stadium and such a great palace
- 4:44Speaker 2: and how it looks DT it just it kind of
- 4:46Speaker 2: just adds all to it because this is a this
- 4:48Speaker 2: is really a special We're a part of history right now, a.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Beautiful part of history. You'll get a token when you
- 4:56Speaker 1: go in for the first one and you know, god,
- 4:58Speaker 1: well and you're at the last, like people just got
- 5:01Speaker 1: the last stadium. You know, they had the token when
- 5:03Speaker 1: they went in and they got that token at that
- 5:05Speaker 1: last game and you know a few months ago in January,
- 5:07Speaker 1: and like it's history. It's generations. I mean, we're here
- 5:10Speaker 1: right now because we're generational bills fans of that passed
- 5:14Speaker 1: down to us and what it means and yeah, it
- 5:17Speaker 1: just gets us. This is the first step of getting
- 5:19Speaker 1: I mean, the draft is there, but this is the
- 5:21Speaker 1: first real step. Like, okay, now, this is what ball
- 5:24Speaker 1: is for the twenty six twenty seven season, and the
- 5:26Speaker 1: schedule just it's awesome. It's the Christmas of the spring.
- 5:31Speaker 1: It's historic. You're right, that's you know. I got into
- 5:34Speaker 1: that thought recently that this season means a lot.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Yeah, man, it really does, and I can't wait to
- 5:43Speaker 2: get it started. Well, we'll go through it, DT and I.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us. We see you guys out there
- 5:48Speaker 2: on Twitter and the other spaces Instagram. We appreciate you
- 5:51Speaker 2: guys joining us tonight. Listen, we'll go through it DT
- 5:53Speaker 2: and I. Every year we'll break down the schedule and
- 5:56Speaker 2: then at the end we'll give our predictions. Sometimes we
- 5:58Speaker 2: sound more ridiculous than other times, but hindsight's twenty twenty, so.
- 6:02Speaker 4: You know, it's a situation where we'll just, uh, we'll have.
- 6:05Speaker 1: We been keeping track? Do we keep tracked?
- 6:08Speaker 2: I need to because now because now I'll have to
- 6:11Speaker 2: go back because we've been doing it so long, where
- 6:13Speaker 2: we need to see how how off we were, because
- 6:15Speaker 2: I know some years you're more optimistic than I am,
- 6:18Speaker 2: and then sometimes I'm on the lower end when they
- 6:20Speaker 2: exceed expectations.
- 6:21Speaker 4: So we'll see. Listen. The bills are featured bills Mafia.
- 6:25Speaker 4: If you don't know, we've.
- 6:26Speaker 2: Got seven like standalone games, you've got three different sets
- 6:31Speaker 2: of four thirty games, and you've got two holidays Like
- 6:34Speaker 2: that's just amazing.
- 6:35Speaker 4: So we'll go through week one. The Bills are on
- 6:38Speaker 4: the road, as we already know, we're going to be
- 6:39Speaker 4: opening up the new High Market Stadium against the Lions
- 6:42Speaker 4: week two. But Week one it comes out heading down
- 6:45Speaker 4: to Texas.
- 6:46Speaker 2: Baby, everything's bigger in Texas, including that great defense that
- 6:48Speaker 2: they've gotten. It's funny because you play the Texans one
- 6:51Speaker 2: o'clock CBS to start the year.
- 6:53Speaker 4: That's actually Bobby's birthday.
- 6:54Speaker 2: My King DT, you didn't know that that's your nephew's birthday,
- 6:58Speaker 2: So it's crazy. We've got some horror stories to tell
- 7:02Speaker 2: from going down to Houston. We know all about it,
- 7:04Speaker 2: starting with the playoffs some years back, but that was
- 7:06Speaker 2: before Josh even.
- 7:06Speaker 4: Took off, and then after that.
- 7:09Speaker 2: We've got some wounds now after facing against those guys
- 7:12Speaker 2: at these last couple of years, and unfortunately last year
- 7:14Speaker 2: was a really bad showing.
- 7:18Speaker 1: We talked to Boogeyman with Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs
- 7:20Speaker 1: in these years, but seventeen and the boys never been
- 7:23Speaker 1: able to go down to h Townty and get the dub.
- 7:25Speaker 1: You know that obviously, like you mentioned that horrible wild
- 7:28Speaker 1: card loss or Josh ripped it over the top of
- 7:31Speaker 1: his head, and you know, all the way down to
- 7:33Speaker 1: a few more losses where he literally went to sleep
- 7:35Speaker 1: two years ago on the field, and then he came
- 7:38Speaker 1: back last year and got sacked eight times. So it's
- 7:41Speaker 1: scary to say the least, but you'll go into week
- 7:44Speaker 1: one knowing that that can't happen. You can't start the
- 7:47Speaker 1: year off with Josh Allen going to sleep on the field.
- 7:50Speaker 1: You can't start the year off with Josh Allen getting
- 7:52Speaker 1: sacked eight times. So that's a whole offseason to put
- 7:56Speaker 1: in some protection packages, put in another running back, whatever
- 7:59Speaker 1: you got to do to keep these boys as upright
- 8:01Speaker 1: as possible week one. But yeah, it's it's a it's
- 8:04Speaker 1: a freaky place. Josh has never won there, which in
- 8:07Speaker 1: my confidence in the glass half falls the homer and
- 8:10Speaker 1: you know, rose colored glasses, I am rob it's an opportunity.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Probability says he's about to go in there and lay
- 8:15Speaker 1: lay an ass whop, And so we're gonna hope for
- 8:17Speaker 1: that week one, but it's it's a scary place. It's
- 8:20Speaker 1: a scary place. It's not just they get beat Josh
- 8:23Speaker 1: Allen gets killed.
- 8:26Speaker 4: Yeah. Man, it hasn't been good. It hasn't been good
- 8:28Speaker 4: down there.
- 8:28Speaker 2: And like I said, we've got some crazy wounds. And
- 8:31Speaker 2: you know, I think about that that game we lost
- 8:33Speaker 2: my feugal a couple of years ago, you know what
- 8:34Speaker 2: I mean.
- 8:34Speaker 4: And I'm like, and that was a game when we.
- 8:36Speaker 2: Played like shit the entire day but still had a
- 8:38Speaker 2: chance to win it. And you know, I remember the
- 8:40Speaker 2: frustration when we came back to do that episode. I
- 8:42Speaker 2: was thinking about that last night when I was looking
- 8:44Speaker 2: at this guys, like, man, that might have been his
- 8:48Speaker 2: worst game as a pro outside of some games of
- 8:50Speaker 2: the Rooki year sprinkled in and I was like, man,
- 8:53Speaker 2: we don't have a lot of fun stories to tell
- 8:55Speaker 2: about the trips down to Houston. But once again, we'll
- 8:57Speaker 2: head down there and we'll do our best and see
- 8:59Speaker 2: what happens of the Bills with this new twenty twenty
- 9:01Speaker 2: sixteen and.
- 9:02Speaker 4: All the drafts, draftees and all those guys, So we'll
- 9:05Speaker 4: see what it goes.
- 9:07Speaker 2: As the Joe Brady era begins now week two, we've
- 9:11Speaker 2: already talked about it, and everybody knows again the home opener,
- 9:14Speaker 2: it's Thursday night. Now, it's funny because I wanted to
- 9:17Speaker 2: get into you. Listen, we'll talk about the Lions in
- 9:19Speaker 2: a second. What is your initial thought on it? Because DT,
- 9:23Speaker 2: I know you don't follow a Buffalo Twitter all the time,
- 9:25Speaker 2: the Mafia Twitter.
- 9:26Speaker 4: It was burning to the ground.
- 9:29Speaker 2: In respects to how many people were complaining about the
- 9:31Speaker 2: fact that it was on a Thursday, and listen to that.
- 9:33Speaker 2: Here's before I get your opinion, how I looked at
- 9:37Speaker 2: how I talked about it on Twitter is that we're
- 9:39Speaker 2: gonna have a blast either way. We're gonna have a
- 9:41Speaker 2: fucking blast. Like it's the home opener of our brand
- 9:43Speaker 2: new stadium, so we're gonna have a blast. The fact
- 9:46Speaker 2: that it's a school night, it is what it is.
- 9:48Speaker 2: You know what I mean, any other night is gonna
- 9:50Speaker 2: be a school night. You do it Sunday night, that's
- 9:52Speaker 2: technically a school night. You do it Monday night, that's
- 9:54Speaker 2: a school night. So I don't want to hear about that.
- 9:56Speaker 2: And then in respect to the fact that people were
- 9:58Speaker 2: talking about how we're not oh man, don't get the
- 10:00Speaker 2: spotlight that we deserve.
- 10:01Speaker 4: They're gonna talk about us all day long.
- 10:03Speaker 2: NFL Network, I think, just merged with ESPN, So whatever
- 10:07Speaker 2: shows they've got, they'll send those guys down. They'll be
- 10:09Speaker 2: at They'll be at the Ralph, They'll be on location
- 10:13Speaker 2: in Orchard Park. What are we complaining about. We'll be
- 10:15Speaker 2: featured all day long. Every show will be live there.
- 10:18Speaker 2: And I think that it'll cominate in a wonderful kickoff
- 10:21Speaker 2: to the new RALF. Like, I just think that it's
- 10:22Speaker 2: gonna everybody complaining and sometimes a few people complaining. Well,
- 10:28Speaker 2: sure we're gonna have them, but whatever day, people gonna
- 10:30Speaker 2: take off work on Friday, Like it's not a big deal.
- 10:34Speaker 1: It's it's a holiday. We always talk about the opener
- 10:37Speaker 1: being a holiday, no matter what. If it's a Sunday
- 10:40Speaker 1: one o'clock game, you're probably still taking off the next
- 10:42Speaker 1: day just because it is such a you know, anticipated event.
- 10:45Speaker 1: But Rob, if we had we could have opened up
- 10:48Speaker 1: the season you know at home, if you if you
- 10:50Speaker 1: go to the super Bowl and win it, we haven't
- 10:52Speaker 1: done it, you know. So this is what we get.
- 10:54Speaker 1: We get the week two opener to have the new
- 10:56Speaker 1: stadium and as a fan. I'm just excited to get
- 10:59Speaker 1: in there, right, So I I wanted it to be
- 11:01Speaker 1: Week one for sure. But if it's not week one,
- 11:03Speaker 1: I understand the business behind it. Right, it's it's week one,
- 11:06Speaker 1: still has the you know, the pageantry of the NFL
- 11:09Speaker 1: coming back, and there's all the games, and everybody's getting
- 11:12Speaker 1: their Sunday ticket in their quadbox is set up in
- 11:15Speaker 1: their house. Nobody's really focusing in on one game. They're
- 11:17Speaker 1: focusing in on football, you know, and it being back,
- 11:20Speaker 1: and oh yes, let's go. We're back. Let's ready to
- 11:23Speaker 1: rock all all week long in Week one. And then
- 11:25Speaker 1: now okay, football has started. Your fantasy lineups are set,
- 11:28Speaker 1: you're in the mode. Now they'ret and right out of
- 11:31Speaker 1: the gate to start Week two, you got a great
- 11:33Speaker 1: matchup in the Bills and Lions under the lights, the
- 11:36Speaker 1: red eyes on the Buffalo be blowing smoke when we're
- 11:38Speaker 1: out there getting you know, taking our pictures, making the
- 11:40Speaker 1: content ready to go for the first ass kicking. The
- 11:44Speaker 1: first party in the new Heimarch Stadium is going to
- 11:47Speaker 1: be that night. And in the business business side, it's
- 11:51Speaker 1: this most standalone. It's not the Sunday night. We weren't
- 11:53Speaker 1: getting the Sunday night game again, even though it was
- 11:55Speaker 1: epic on the comeback with Baltimore last year, But you
- 11:57Speaker 1: weren't getting back to back Sunday night home openers. That's
- 12:00Speaker 1: just not how it works. We didn't deserve the Wednesday
- 12:03Speaker 1: opener for the super Bowl because we didn't go, and
- 12:06Speaker 1: you know, and here you are. So this is the
- 12:08Speaker 1: next best thing. I think when it comes to that,
- 12:11Speaker 1: I'm gonna be ready for it. It's basically that week. You
- 12:13Speaker 1: know that you're definitely taking off Thursday, you're definitely taking
- 12:15Speaker 1: off Friday, but you're probably taking off Monday anyway, so
- 12:18Speaker 1: it's one extra day, but in reality, it's a full
- 12:20Speaker 1: four day weekend now because you got the Saturday and
- 12:22Speaker 1: Sunday behind it too. So I love it. As a fan,
- 12:25Speaker 1: I want it. I just want to get in there
- 12:26Speaker 1: as soon as possible, right, So I want it to
- 12:28Speaker 1: be week one. But if it isn't week one, I
- 12:30Speaker 1: understand the business behind it, and this is the next
- 12:32Speaker 1: best thing to have all the spotlight on you, literally
- 12:35Speaker 1: nothing else else. People now in football mode and they
- 12:39Speaker 1: want to see this new stadium and all eyes are
- 12:41Speaker 1: gonna be on it, you know. Eight twenty it's the drug,
- 12:44Speaker 1: rob it's the drug. Everybody gets their first hit week
- 12:46Speaker 1: one and they're they're you know, they're itching to get
- 12:49Speaker 1: back that Thursday night. So it's gonna be viewership Buffalo.
- 12:51Speaker 1: You know, the Bills are America's team. Let's be real.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Everybody wants to see Josh Allen do it, and it's
- 12:57Speaker 1: it's gonna be lit that Thursday night. I love it.
- 12:59Speaker 1: I understand everything behind it. I think the NFL and
- 13:02Speaker 1: Pagoula came together on this one too.
- 13:04Speaker 4: They wanted, they wanted to be in primetime. Yeah, they
- 13:07Speaker 4: now they've demanded. I'm sure they've demanded.
- 13:09Speaker 2: We built this damn stadium for you guys, kept the
- 13:11Speaker 2: team in the region. We want to be featured. So
- 13:14Speaker 2: it was just gonna be a matter of like you said,
- 13:16Speaker 2: it was never gonna be Sunday Night. So maybe it's
- 13:17Speaker 2: week one Monday Night football. Okay, fine, you're doing it
- 13:21Speaker 2: week two. There is no difference to me, like I said,
- 13:23Speaker 2: between Thursday primetime and Monday Night. Only other differences that
- 13:27Speaker 2: like you said, everybody's gotten their football fixed by that time.
- 13:30Speaker 2: By Monday, people are draggon ass trying to you know,
- 13:32Speaker 2: fix their parlays and all the sticks for the weekend.
- 13:35Speaker 2: I mean, it's all good man. Thursday, will start it off,
- 13:37Speaker 2: Will kick it off. Now the Lions interesting matchup DT,
- 13:40Speaker 2: just because of the fact that I was thinking, and
- 13:42Speaker 2: we'll go through them quickly these next games.
- 13:45Speaker 4: But they kind of parallel us in a little way.
- 13:48Speaker 4: They they have.
- 13:49Speaker 2: Gotten good out of the blue and all of a
- 13:52Speaker 2: sudden they've got some traction. They've got the right coach
- 13:54Speaker 2: and different things like that. They've got the right culture
- 13:56Speaker 2: for you culture people out there. But DT, they haven't
- 13:59Speaker 2: been able to get over the hump. It's gonna be
- 14:00Speaker 2: interesting because it kind of seemed like they took a
- 14:02Speaker 2: step back last year. We unfortunately, well fortunately for Bill's Mafia,
- 14:07Speaker 2: we haven't taken a step back in respects to our excellence.
- 14:10Speaker 2: We just haven't been able to get over the hump
- 14:11Speaker 2: as well. So it'll be interesting because they weren't as
- 14:14Speaker 2: good as they've been And you wonder sometimes if those
- 14:16Speaker 2: windows close on some teams and they you know, that
- 14:19Speaker 2: San Francisco game, they it was right there for him.
- 14:21Speaker 2: They had everything in front of them, and that feels
- 14:24Speaker 2: like a long time.
- 14:26Speaker 1: It feels like a long time exactly exactly. And you
- 14:28Speaker 1: know they've they're a little newer onto the scene, but
- 14:31Speaker 1: very similar trajectory. And you know they they got the
- 14:33Speaker 1: skill players that are scary. So uh, that's that's That's
- 14:36Speaker 1: why we're there though, Rob, That's why we're there in
- 14:38Speaker 1: the Mafia to see if they saying the best home
- 14:40Speaker 1: field advantage in the league. That was the number one
- 14:42Speaker 1: reason behind this new stadium is the best home field
- 14:45Speaker 1: advantage in the league. So we're gonna see Thursday night
- 14:48Speaker 1: how how loud it really gets in there, because well,
- 14:51Speaker 1: whatever the max is, we're putting it at it obvious.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll sit give us records a week week two
- 14:58Speaker 2: for sure. Now Bill's played three straight games Bill Spanfia
- 15:02Speaker 2: to start that slate. After that trip to Houston. After that,
- 15:05Speaker 2: we've got one o'clock on Fox. You've got the Chargers.
- 15:08Speaker 2: And it's funny because the Chargers another a little parallel.
- 15:12Speaker 2: The parallel is that they always you know what do
- 15:14Speaker 2: they call it. I mean, the Chargers are being the Chargers.
- 15:16Speaker 2: They're charging. But they've got a quarterback who was uber
- 15:19Speaker 2: talented and he gets compared a lot to our guy
- 15:22Speaker 2: in you know, justin Herbert and DT Mike McDaniel, we
- 15:26Speaker 2: talked about it. We were talking about the coach search
- 15:28Speaker 2: before Brady gets the job. I wasn't gonna be mad
- 15:30Speaker 2: about it because I would have been embracing the offensive acumen.
- 15:33Speaker 2: I would have been embracing all of the different types
- 15:35Speaker 2: of schemes and the motions and different things like that
- 15:37Speaker 2: that he puts out there. Yes, he's a little quirky,
- 15:39Speaker 2: it didn't matter to me, DT. If him and Herbert
- 15:42Speaker 2: can get things clicking, they also have weapons where they
- 15:44Speaker 2: could be a dangerous team come you know, December January.
- 15:49Speaker 1: This is a nice game I like in Buffalo, right.
- 15:52Speaker 1: I mean, I'm glad we play the Rams. If we
- 15:53Speaker 1: had to pick Rams or Chargers who were playing out there,
- 15:56Speaker 1: I'd rather play the Rams out there ten out of
- 15:58Speaker 1: ten times. This is a game to get the Chargers here,
- 16:01Speaker 1: a budding team with a lot of with a lot
- 16:03Speaker 1: of power, and these young you know, with with Harbaugh
- 16:06Speaker 1: and the coaches that really are are creative and different,
- 16:09Speaker 1: and you don't want them to get in their bag
- 16:10Speaker 1: at their home stadium, like it's gonna be tough for them,
- 16:13Speaker 1: especially off a mini bye week, you know. And that's
- 16:15Speaker 1: another nice little little Yes, you're in primetime, you're moving
- 16:18Speaker 1: around a little bit, but you got to take advantage
- 16:20Speaker 1: of the little breaks this schedule gives you. And that's
- 16:22Speaker 1: what it is. Right after Week two. Yes, two hard
- 16:25Speaker 1: games right out of the gate, but then you get
- 16:26Speaker 1: a week and a half off and you're staying in
- 16:28Speaker 1: your own bed the whole time until another good team
- 16:30Speaker 1: comes again across the country. One o'clock game, it's ten o'clock,
- 16:34Speaker 1: you know their time, whatever it's it's yeah, you know,
- 16:37Speaker 1: so it's it's it's it's right up in them. With
- 16:40Speaker 1: a week and a half off. I'd like to see
- 16:42Speaker 1: a team like this that could be scary, that could
- 16:45Speaker 1: get you in one of those weird like Week eleven
- 16:47Speaker 1: games you're in the Chargers and like you can't get
- 16:49Speaker 1: anything going and they beat the brakes off you. You
- 16:51Speaker 1: avoid that, I think with with the factors that flow
- 16:55Speaker 1: into it, one o'clock, week and a half off, a
- 16:57Speaker 1: budding team isn't gonna get butting with the best, you know,
- 17:00Speaker 1: with the with the high mark going for the second
- 17:02Speaker 1: ever game in it. Yeah, a lot of people are
- 17:04Speaker 1: gonna be you know, are gonna get priced out of
- 17:06Speaker 1: this opener. Rob and be it that. Okay, then I'm
- 17:08Speaker 1: going to the first one o'clock game, Like this is
- 17:10Speaker 1: this is an opener too, you know this is a
- 17:12Speaker 1: this is a double opener type of situation.
- 17:16Speaker 2: Yeah, we might have to talk about that too down
- 17:18Speaker 2: the road, because I got some interesting news on that
- 17:20Speaker 2: last night in respects to who wants to come.
- 17:23Speaker 4: Everybody. Everybody wants to come.
- 17:25Speaker 2: So we've got news for that in the in the
- 17:27Speaker 2: Tailgate Report now at one o'clock d T. The next week,
- 17:31Speaker 2: the final of those third three straight excuse me home games, Patriots,
- 17:35Speaker 2: I mean, nothing else needs to be said. Won the
- 17:37Speaker 2: division took it from you last year, Whether it be
- 17:40Speaker 2: fluky or not, whether it be something that we don't
- 17:42Speaker 2: want to necessarily respect or not, you have to respect
- 17:44Speaker 2: the final results. The final results say that they beat you.
- 17:47Speaker 2: They beat you on tiebreakers, but but they beat your
- 17:50Speaker 2: head to head when it mattered most, which got you
- 17:52Speaker 2: in the situation that you were in. And you know
- 17:54Speaker 2: they went all the way to the super Bowl. Yes,
- 17:57Speaker 2: we can all call their schedule last year flew gayzy.
- 17:59Speaker 2: I can't wait to ship on Patriots fans on Twitter
- 18:03Speaker 2: and tell them about themselves and about Hey, welcome to
- 18:05Speaker 2: our world. With playing this first play schedule, I think
- 18:08Speaker 2: that they will regress. Obviously, we don't need to talk
- 18:11Speaker 2: about the vraible stuf because we've already talked about that
- 18:13Speaker 2: and what that distraction might be or might not be.
- 18:15Speaker 2: DT early first division matchup of the year. This is
- 18:19Speaker 2: a game at home. You need to rectify that white
- 18:22Speaker 2: that white out last year. Go ahead and take care
- 18:24Speaker 2: of business because this is a team that they're not
- 18:26Speaker 2: better than us. I don't think that they are. Last year,
- 18:29Speaker 2: the Chips just fell and they won the division. You
- 18:31Speaker 2: can't take it from them.
- 18:33Speaker 1: We looking before this game you're in, you know with
- 18:36Speaker 1: you gotta expect Houston and the Chargers to be playoff teams,
- 18:40Speaker 1: you know, this year, and so we're we're counting single
- 18:44Speaker 1: wins towards the end of the year for a division
- 18:46Speaker 1: for a home game for you know, traveling and getting
- 18:49Speaker 1: hurt in the playoffs and missing by that che every year.
- 18:51Speaker 1: We talk about the ship every year, and you gotta
- 18:55Speaker 1: so it's the playoff games, the AFC matchups before this
- 18:59Speaker 1: Patriots game, like okay, you got you got playoff, playoff
- 19:02Speaker 1: playoff and now your division game, like the division don't
- 19:05Speaker 1: matter if you don't not getting those you know, dubs
- 19:07Speaker 1: earlier in the division to have that conference record anyway.
- 19:11Speaker 1: So I think it's you gotta set up those games.
- 19:15Speaker 1: This is a big one, but you have to treat
- 19:18Speaker 1: it like not as more like you're it's just your
- 19:20Speaker 1: playoff contender. You're you're battling for jockeying for position. When
- 19:24Speaker 1: you have the Patriots come to you week four, so
- 19:27Speaker 1: it's the the last game in that three game homestand
- 19:30Speaker 1: that really show off showcase. Let's call it three openers. Right,
- 19:33Speaker 1: you can't go to the Thursday night game, like go
- 19:35Speaker 1: to the one o'clock well then well then go to
- 19:37Speaker 1: the one o'clock Patriots. You got three chances to get
- 19:39Speaker 1: into the opener of whatever before they ever go away again.
- 19:43Speaker 4: So that's right.
- 19:44Speaker 1: Uh want to beat the breaks off them, get the
- 19:46Speaker 1: get the crown back, the division back. I mean, that
- 19:48Speaker 1: was that was That was kind of b s last year.
- 19:50Speaker 1: You got to go through you're losing the divisional whatever.
- 19:53Speaker 1: We did get through the wildcard, but we would have
- 19:55Speaker 1: still had to travel if you know, you win the
- 19:58Speaker 1: wildcard and still had to go to Denver or New England.
- 20:01Speaker 1: But you got to win you got to win the
- 20:03Speaker 1: divisional games, and I think the playoff stature games before
- 20:06Speaker 1: this is going to be something to you know, get
- 20:09Speaker 1: ready for now. Those conference wins and losses are gonna
- 20:13Speaker 1: matter big time when you're one or two losses away
- 20:16Speaker 1: with New England in Week fifteen.
- 20:18Speaker 2: No, No, you're absolutely right. I mean, there's no way
- 20:21Speaker 2: to undersell it. That's how they beat us last year
- 20:23Speaker 2: is the fact that they had the tie breakers, they
- 20:25Speaker 2: had the more conference wins and different things like that
- 20:27Speaker 2: when it came down to tiebreakers after the split.
- 20:30Speaker 4: So it's important now, DT.
- 20:33Speaker 2: You know, one of the things about the Bills and
- 20:35Speaker 2: about the fact that you talked about it, you actually
- 20:37Speaker 2: spoken to earlier the show, is that the schedule we
- 20:39Speaker 2: move around and stuff like that.
- 20:40Speaker 4: We're one of the darlings of the NFL. We're one
- 20:42Speaker 4: of the feature teams.
- 20:44Speaker 2: Part of that is being moved around the schedule and
- 20:46Speaker 2: playing on primetime primetime game Monday Night Football the next week.
- 20:50Speaker 4: DT.
- 20:51Speaker 2: Week five, it's the Rams and I mean you're going
- 20:55Speaker 2: out there to so far. We love that stadium, how
- 20:57Speaker 2: beautiful it is. We've talked about it on the show before.
- 21:01Speaker 2: This is my super Bowl favorite. If if you know,
- 21:03Speaker 2: I want the Bills to win the Super Bowl every
- 21:06Speaker 2: single year. If we don't win it, I think that
- 21:08Speaker 2: this is the team, in my mind is most likely
- 21:10Speaker 2: to win it. I think that they I think they're
- 21:12Speaker 2: gonna beat Seattle. Last year, they just had some freak
- 21:14Speaker 2: shit happened, you know what I mean, that one two
- 21:16Speaker 2: point conversion in the regular season. That shit mattered, Like
- 21:19Speaker 2: it turned out that that actual game mattered in respects
- 21:21Speaker 2: to how the seatings worked, and everything would be different.
- 21:24Speaker 2: They're they're they're legit, man. I mean, they're reigning MVP.
- 21:28Speaker 2: They're legit to me.
- 21:30Speaker 1: The last two MVPs, the last two MVPs facing off
- 21:33Speaker 1: is it is the super Bowl, and so far super
- 21:35Speaker 1: Bowl so far this year is that I don't know,
- 21:38Speaker 1: fact check if you're any crew, I don't know. I
- 21:40Speaker 1: don't know, and I know it's on valence to day,
- 21:43Speaker 1: but anyway, so far, so you know, the what I
- 21:45Speaker 1: can hang hand on is seventeen's ever had a bad
- 21:48Speaker 1: game in this place. We open up the season, you
- 21:50Speaker 1: know a few years ago that was that was electric
- 21:53Speaker 1: when we beat the brakes off them and then you
- 21:54Speaker 1: know the what was it fifty two to forty eight
- 21:57Speaker 1: or whatever it was when Josh Allen was wearing the
- 21:59Speaker 1: grinch Obie cleats and you know, put up with six
- 22:04Speaker 1: touchdowns that one, yeah, three rush, three three pass, So yeah,
- 22:08Speaker 1: you know seven team comes ready to play in so
- 22:11Speaker 1: five Monday Night Ball primetime. Again, we were ready to rock.
- 22:13Speaker 1: How about all our NFC opponents being in prime time?
- 22:16Speaker 4: All of them? That really? Oh wow, all of them?
- 22:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking down. You're right, every single one that
- 22:24Speaker 2: that is kind of freaky.
- 22:25Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't. Yeah time. And then again that speaks
- 22:28Speaker 4: to your point.
- 22:29Speaker 2: The Bills travel like the Bill, like in respect to
- 22:31Speaker 2: like the Waight travels, and I know the Mafia travels literally, but.
- 22:35Speaker 4: Like we know, yeah, we carry wait in this league man.
- 22:37Speaker 1: Well, and the second prime time Rams have The Rams
- 22:40Speaker 1: have the most in seven and we have six. We're
- 22:42Speaker 1: the two most primetime teams, you know, with the Rams
- 22:44Speaker 1: in that and and the Bill. So that's that that
- 22:47Speaker 1: makes sense that you play each other obviously based on
- 22:49Speaker 1: those numbers. But yeah, it never had a bad night
- 22:52Speaker 1: out and so far for seventeen and then the world's
- 22:55Speaker 1: going to see it, so you might as well go
- 22:56Speaker 1: have six touchdowns and score.
- 22:57Speaker 4: Fifty again, I love it. I have no I have
- 23:00Speaker 4: no objections.
- 23:01Speaker 2: Now the next week Bills have back to back away game,
- 23:04Speaker 2: so it's the Rams on Monday night. Then they will
- 23:06Speaker 2: travel to Vegas for twenty five CBS game. And it's
- 23:10Speaker 2: interesting because you know, who knows if Mendoza's in there
- 23:13Speaker 2: by then or.
- 23:14Speaker 4: If it's still too early in the year and it's
- 23:16Speaker 4: you know, cousins.
- 23:17Speaker 2: Either way, a situation where a team that made a
- 23:20Speaker 2: lot of changes, they've you know, done a lot of
- 23:22Speaker 2: revamping and upgrading. It sounds great on paper. I liked
- 23:26Speaker 2: again back to the coach church. I like Kubiak as
- 23:28Speaker 2: an idea. I didn't think that was a bad idea
- 23:29Speaker 2: at all. I like his his tree where he comes from,
- 23:32Speaker 2: and his dad and stuff like that. And the boots,
- 23:34Speaker 2: the actions and get the quarterback on the move DT.
- 23:37Speaker 2: I don't expect them to beat the Bills, but I do,
- 23:40Speaker 2: you know, I expect a more competitive Raiders this year.
- 23:42Speaker 4: I really do. I like that. I like the coach.
- 23:43Speaker 4: I think it stops with that.
- 23:46Speaker 1: I mean ex held exhale though a little Bills mafia.
- 23:49Speaker 1: I mean give respect to the Raiders. They did get better,
- 23:51Speaker 1: their coach got better. They got the number one overall
- 23:53Speaker 1: pick at quarterback, sure, but they're still far off from
- 23:56Speaker 1: being successful, I think, and you you gotta have you
- 23:59Speaker 1: gotta think like that. With this schedule, we just went
- 24:01Speaker 1: through some dogs.
- 24:04Speaker 2: Yeah, week six right now.
- 24:08Speaker 1: We're in week six right now, and this is like
- 24:10Speaker 1: the first game you're like, okay, like a team that's
- 24:12Speaker 1: like kind of booty cheeks, so like it's it's like
- 24:16Speaker 1: that's a long time. That's a month and a half
- 24:18Speaker 1: before you can like really be going into a Sunday
- 24:21Speaker 1: kind of feeling okay. And I mean the only game
- 24:25Speaker 1: you might play with a young quarterback every other every
- 24:29Speaker 1: other quarterback on this schedule is is seasoned. So that's
- 24:32Speaker 1: a that's one you look forward to. I think the
- 24:34Speaker 1: mafia role. You know, will want to see Vegas. It's
- 24:36Speaker 1: like one of those you know, uh landmark cities to
- 24:39Speaker 1: go to and and see it as expensive obviously, but
- 24:42Speaker 1: you know, be good to go out there and uh
- 24:44Speaker 1: and see see the Bills play in a beautiful new stadium.
- 24:47Speaker 1: So it's it's the only one in the first six
- 24:50Speaker 1: weeks you can say who and I respect it. They
- 24:52Speaker 1: did get better, but I exhale on this one. And
- 24:55Speaker 1: you need this one mixed in there because it gets
- 24:58Speaker 1: It's tough.
- 25:00Speaker 2: No, the first five games are no joke. They were
- 25:02Speaker 2: talking about on the radar this morning, three or two
- 25:04Speaker 2: you'll take it. I had to raise my hand as
- 25:06Speaker 2: I'm driving to work, like, hell yeah, would take three
- 25:08Speaker 2: and two? Like It's a tough first first five for sure.
- 25:12Speaker 2: So again, Raiders four twenty five. We'll do our predictions
- 25:15Speaker 2: at the end of the episode. As always on schedule
- 25:17Speaker 2: release dight Now, Tonight's episode is presented by Buffalo fan Base,

- 26:11Speaker 2: wearing this at next week, DT, how about that, we'll
- 26:13Speaker 2: save that for the Tailgate Report. Now, bye week, Bill's
- 26:16Speaker 2: Mafia after the Raiders game. Coming out of the bye
- 26:18Speaker 2: week at home one o'clock, Lamar Jackson, the Ravens come
- 26:24Speaker 2: in to town. And you know, what else can you
- 26:26Speaker 2: say other than the fact that we own them in
- 26:28Speaker 2: the play It's kind of Chiefs Bills. We beat them
- 26:31Speaker 2: in the regular season and then we can't get them
- 26:33Speaker 2: in the playoffs. Doesn't really matter when our matchups are
- 26:35Speaker 2: in the regular season. When it comes to playoff time, the
- 26:37Speaker 2: Bills own the Ravens. And that's just the way that
- 26:39Speaker 2: it is. So it will still be a fun game.
- 26:42Speaker 2: And obviously last year you talked about at the home
- 26:45Speaker 2: opener to start the season was amazing and electric with
- 26:47Speaker 2: the comeback.
- 26:47Speaker 4: But DT, you know, like I said, you're not on
- 26:51Speaker 4: Bill's Twitter, man.
- 26:52Speaker 2: The Ravens fans are some of the most obnoxious fans,
- 26:54Speaker 2: and the Lamar lovers are some of the most ignoxious.
- 26:57Speaker 2: I'd love to be able to just knock them down
- 26:58Speaker 2: a peg in our new home because they get on
- 27:01Speaker 2: my nerves for sure.
- 27:03Speaker 1: One o'clock game, I think there's something to be said
- 27:05Speaker 1: about that, right Rob, Like this is just old school
- 27:09Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills one o'clock kick ball and against a team
- 27:13Speaker 1: that you would think would be in a different slot
- 27:15Speaker 1: with especially the showing they get in this not in
- 27:19Speaker 1: the same stadium, but in the same you know, a
- 27:21Speaker 1: couple of hundred yards of each other last year and
- 27:23Speaker 1: one of the best games of all time in NFL history.
- 27:25Speaker 1: So Sean McDermott was not and Ah out of the bye,
- 27:30Speaker 1: but that also means Josh Josh Allen was eight no
- 27:32Speaker 1: out of the bye because he had that one year off.
- 27:34Speaker 1: So hopefully Joe Brady's wan to know out of the
- 27:37Speaker 1: bye as we get to a team that's that's feisty,
- 27:40Speaker 1: that's tough, that you're kind of scared and be the boogeyman,
- 27:42Speaker 1: but we always figure out a way to knock them in,
- 27:45Speaker 1: so have a full week to prepare. They come, they
- 27:48Speaker 1: have a tough game. I think they play the They
- 27:51Speaker 1: got a pretty tough game before ours. I think I
- 27:54Speaker 1: didn't have to look at Theirs, but they got to
- 27:55Speaker 1: play the week before, so it's it's it's.
- 27:59Speaker 4: How I want. They played the Bengals like a division
- 28:01Speaker 4: A divisional game. They played the Bengals good.
- 28:03Speaker 1: So they play the Bengals the week before. Then they
- 28:05Speaker 1: gotta they gotta come to Buffalo off the bye. People,
- 28:08Speaker 1: you know it's it's gonna be a roudy environment. That
- 28:10Speaker 1: goes without saying, but uh, the you want the Chiefs
- 28:14Speaker 1: or the Ravens after a buye. I'd say my top
- 28:17Speaker 1: two after a bye, and we got the Ravens, so
- 28:20Speaker 1: we'll take it. One PM.
- 28:21Speaker 2: Old school bills, you know, new coach, new offensive system,
- 28:26Speaker 2: so you know, a lot of changing parts there with
- 28:29Speaker 2: Jesse Minter coming in there. So we'll see what happens now. Again,
- 28:32Speaker 2: as DT alluded to, I didn't even notice till he
- 28:34Speaker 2: said it. NFC games are all prime time. Listen, DT.
- 28:39Speaker 2: Minnesota is in a situation where, listen, man, it's a
- 28:43Speaker 2: situation where it's funny because you never can count your
- 28:46Speaker 2: chickens before you hatch, before they hatch.
- 28:48Speaker 4: And like, you know, they were so sure J. J.
- 28:50Speaker 2: McCarthy is going to be the guy, and they pick
- 28:52Speaker 2: him tenth and a lot of people are like, he's
- 28:53Speaker 2: barely played in the college football and you know, he
- 28:55Speaker 2: played in a run heavy system at Michigan and the Yeah,
- 28:58Speaker 2: he was the national championship with our ball, but he
- 29:00Speaker 2: hasn't been tested and last year was a trocist for
- 29:02Speaker 2: him before the injuries took hold.
- 29:04Speaker 4: They go out they get Kyler Murray. You know what
- 29:06Speaker 4: I mean. You can tell that Justin Jefferson what we
- 29:08Speaker 4: were talking about the offseason. Justin Jefferson is not happy.
- 29:10Speaker 4: I know he's not.
- 29:11Speaker 2: They go out and get him a real quarterback in
- 29:13Speaker 2: respects to somebody that can deliver the football.
- 29:16Speaker 4: I think he wins the job.
- 29:17Speaker 2: I think we'll be seeing him on Monday Night Football
- 29:20Speaker 2: November ninth, DT Bills in Minnesota at their beautiful place
- 29:24Speaker 2: as well.
- 29:25Speaker 4: It'll be interesting. This is a different team.
- 29:26Speaker 2: Their defense is so fucking legit that if they ever
- 29:30Speaker 2: get the offense right, they could be they could be
- 29:32Speaker 2: a big problem. They could their defense bit.
- 29:35Speaker 1: Well, you know, props to the Vikings in that of
- 29:38Speaker 1: they really are on paper on rost a very solid team.
- 29:41Speaker 1: Their defense with Flores is aggressive and strong, and offensively
- 29:45Speaker 1: they you know they they have Jordan Addison and jj
- 29:48Speaker 1: a tough combo. They just added Juwan Jennings who is
- 29:50Speaker 1: a starting wide receiver one and fantasy platforms all the
- 29:53Speaker 1: last two year three seasons. And now you add him
- 29:56Speaker 1: to a Vikings team where yes, Kyler Murray, say what
- 29:59Speaker 1: you will, he got de hopped the ball. You know
- 30:01Speaker 1: he he can sling it if he's stands up and
- 30:04Speaker 1: is protected. And defensively they're strong. So credit to the Vikings.
- 30:08Speaker 1: The big game, biggest one on the schedule. I say
- 30:14Speaker 1: for for me, for DT and and the squad. Here
- 30:16Speaker 1: we got you know kind page our our lovely lifelong
- 30:20Speaker 1: uh Nickel City crew, but diehard Vikings fans, and I've
- 30:24Speaker 1: been to many with them before and now this is
- 30:26Speaker 1: a big year for us because now the Bills go.
- 30:27Speaker 1: So this is we've been planning this for years. We
- 30:29Speaker 1: just were waiting and waiting, waiting, when when do we go?
- 30:32Speaker 1: Whin are we gonna play the Vikings? And this is
- 30:34Speaker 1: perfect right smack dab in the middle of the season
- 30:37Speaker 1: out of all obligations, when things kind of settle down,
- 30:40Speaker 1: a great primetime night in Minneapolis. The stadium is awesome.
- 30:43Speaker 1: It's gonna be. I think the a lot of Bills
- 30:45Speaker 1: fans gonna be there, but the the Vikings fans get routy.
- 30:48Speaker 1: It's a it's a it's a ruckus environment. So really
- 30:51Speaker 1: looking forward to this one, top one on the schedule.
- 30:53Speaker 1: This is what you know, we were wait like where
- 30:56Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, like when when's the schedule?
- 30:58Speaker 1: We got to get this right, we gotta and we
- 31:00Speaker 1: already boomed. Airbnb's already in. You know, we're already in.
- 31:02Speaker 1: We're already on that, like we were waiting for this,
- 31:05Speaker 1: ready to go. Can't wait. I've been to Minnesota. It's
- 31:08Speaker 1: a good time. I can't wait to bring Bill's mafia
- 31:10Speaker 1: there and you know, and and get into it now
- 31:11Speaker 1: and see see what we're made of. We have this thing.
- 31:14Speaker 1: You know, they see they've never lost when I've gone
- 31:17Speaker 1: with them to any Vikings game, they never lost. So
- 31:20Speaker 1: really it's gonna be. It's gonna hold true. It's either
- 31:23Speaker 1: the Bills win and technically I've never lost, or you know,
- 31:27Speaker 1: or they hold true and they get me because I went,
- 31:29Speaker 1: So I'll be first to say it, Nickel City crew,
- 31:32Speaker 1: if I've if I if I ruin it, I'm sorry,
- 31:34Speaker 1: but I can't wait to go to Minnesota. It's a cool,
- 31:37Speaker 1: cool town, good city, you know, similar like the blue
- 31:41Speaker 1: collar cold town like Buffalo, and and we're gonna go
- 31:44Speaker 1: up there and see what we can do. This where
- 31:46Speaker 1: Josh Allen did the hurdle his rookie year, like coming
- 31:48Speaker 1: over the people, the Lady came, where he started getting
- 31:51Speaker 1: on posters was a mini. And that stadium, if we've
- 31:53Speaker 1: never seen it, is one of a kind, outstanding, like
- 31:57Speaker 1: incredible and November night it's not too cold, so easy
- 32:00Speaker 1: enough to get up there. But this is number one
- 32:03Speaker 1: on my I'm my schedule, Rob not not to really
- 32:05Speaker 1: the standings or whatever, but this was the one I'm
- 32:08Speaker 1: looking forward to the most. And you know, we're excited
- 32:12Speaker 1: about it. So Bill Mafi hadn't a mini, let us know,
- 32:15Speaker 1: but we're gonna we're gonna be out there doing it right.
- 32:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I ain't mad at you, like I said, unless
- 32:19Speaker 2: they lose, then I'll I'll blame you and say it's
- 32:22Speaker 2: your fault like Gronk at the game. The other day
- 32:24Speaker 2: or whoever bang the drums, bang the drum and we lost.
- 32:27Speaker 2: So listen, I won't blame you unless I have to.
- 32:29Speaker 2: But other than that, I know you're gonna have a
- 32:31Speaker 2: blast out there.
- 32:31Speaker 4: Now. Next two weeks, the Bills are back on the road,
- 32:35Speaker 4: so you've got, you know, the Ravens game coming out
- 32:37Speaker 4: of the by then you've got two back to back
- 32:38Speaker 4: away games. You've got Monday Night Football like we just
- 32:40Speaker 4: talked about against the Vikings, and then you travel to
- 32:43Speaker 4: the Meadowlands. You go see the Jets and they're revamped.
- 32:46Speaker 4: And we'll quickly go over these next two games DT
- 32:48Speaker 4: because the Jets are revamped with Geno Smith, but they
- 32:52Speaker 4: do have some weapons that I laugh.
- 32:53Speaker 2: I'm not, you know, laughing at that, but like, you know,
- 32:56Speaker 2: they draft that receiver conmel Tait right, and you know
- 32:58Speaker 2: they've got I just don't trust Gino anymore. I think
- 33:01Speaker 2: that he peaked in Seattle beforehand, and I think that,
- 33:05Speaker 2: you know, his best days are behind him. I think
- 33:06Speaker 2: they're reaching, but again, they're playing for the future, just
- 33:09Speaker 2: like the Bills.
- 33:10Speaker 4: Next opponent that week, excuse me.
- 33:12Speaker 2: The next week after the Bills will be hosting the Dolphins,
- 33:14Speaker 2: again team in transition. Now they are clearly tanking for
- 33:18Speaker 2: that new quarterback class they but both.
- 33:20Speaker 4: Of them signed their running backs, which was funny to see.
- 33:22Speaker 4: Breshall got paid the other day way more than Jimbo,
- 33:25Speaker 4: and then right before that, you know, hn got paid
- 33:28Speaker 4: a whole bunch of money. And it's funny because, I.
- 33:31Speaker 2: Mean, when you see a team that's openly tanking, you know,
- 33:35Speaker 2: obviously you can look over them in the schedule and
- 33:37Speaker 2: not pay them any attention.
- 33:38Speaker 4: Uh. I don't think that that's wrong to do. Dt.
- 33:40Speaker 2: I think that those two should be two wins. We'll
- 33:42Speaker 2: talk about the you know, the actual predictions later, but
- 33:45Speaker 2: you know, listen on the road to the Jets back
- 33:48Speaker 2: home against Miami both one o'clock. See me get out
- 33:51Speaker 2: of beat like it, hey man, just clockwork. Just do
- 33:54Speaker 2: your job, get out of there. It gets Yeah, get
- 33:56Speaker 2: out of their healthy lessons.
- 33:59Speaker 1: Yeah, we we talked about you gotta find your exhale points,
- 34:02Speaker 1: especially when you're a prime time team like the Bills.
- 34:04Speaker 1: You gotta find your excel points. This is a big one.
- 34:07Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta excel through these two divisional games.
- 34:09Speaker 1: You need these divisional games because of all the other
- 34:12Speaker 1: crazy teams you're playing this year, so uh, take care
- 34:15Speaker 1: of business. Beat the breaks. I mean the Jets. I
- 34:17Speaker 1: never believe in them, no matter what. I don't even
- 34:19Speaker 1: care if we beat beat by them for the next
- 34:22Speaker 1: five years in a row. We'll never believe in the
- 34:24Speaker 1: Jets and the Dolphins. Rob you were you said it
- 34:28Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago about yeah tanking. I was like, oh,
- 34:30Speaker 1: they got the league, Willis, and then I looked at
- 34:32Speaker 1: their roster. Dude, I can't name a single player on
- 34:37Speaker 1: their defense. I don't know a guy. I don't know
- 34:40Speaker 1: anybody on the roster. I look through it. I don't know.
- 34:43Speaker 1: I mean that Dodson Dodsons. Okay, all right, so too,
- 34:53Speaker 1: so yeah it is incredible, how how bad that roster is.
- 34:57Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's two tank teams. Take advantage, find
- 34:59Speaker 1: your exhale points and you know, Screwty's screwty spots, scritty spots.
- 35:04Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I'm not I'm not worried about either. And
- 35:07Speaker 4: I take that back.
- 35:09Speaker 2: The Jets are probably not taking per se because you know,
- 35:12Speaker 2: Eric Lenn's trying to save his job, but they're not
- 35:14Speaker 2: gonna be even.
- 35:14Speaker 1: Better draft even better.
- 35:16Speaker 4: Everybody they'll try everybody.
- 35:17Speaker 1: They'll they'll try to go four and thirteen.
- 35:19Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, even yeah. Like I said that, that quarterback
- 35:23Speaker 2: class is highly coveted. So it seems like both of
- 35:25Speaker 2: those teams are positioning themselves to be ready for it.
- 35:28Speaker 2: Now the next week, you know, the annual what is
- 35:30Speaker 2: it death taxes bills beat the chiefs of the regular season.
- 35:34Speaker 2: So you've got and it's interesting because Thanksgiving it's getting
- 35:39Speaker 2: a lot of play and it's both ways.
- 35:41Speaker 4: I just don't get it, man.
- 35:42Speaker 2: Listen Bill's NBC eight twenty on Thanksgiving night like Turkey
- 35:49Speaker 2: Day night. Like I don't I personally DT this is me.
- 35:53Speaker 2: I know there's tons of Mafia members on Twitter talking shit.
- 35:57Speaker 2: I don't have any problem mixing my holidays with the bills.
- 36:01Speaker 2: To me, personally, I don't even know how can get
- 36:04Speaker 2: any fucking better than that, Like, like I have no idea,
- 36:06Speaker 2: Like what is that? Like?
- 36:07Speaker 4: What does it mean? Now? Right?
- 36:10Speaker 2: Well, I guess to the you know what, we used
- 36:12Speaker 2: to be season ticket holders. This will be our first
- 36:14Speaker 2: year that we're not in a long long time. I mean, okay,
- 36:17Speaker 2: so you got to get out there. You got to
- 36:18Speaker 2: come up with different plans. Listen, man who gives a
- 36:21Speaker 2: shit like, so we're transitioning to the ralph like or
- 36:26Speaker 2: to the parking lot like who cares? Fry a turkey
- 36:28Speaker 2: and bring all the fixings and then you can have
- 36:31Speaker 2: leftovers on Friday, on Black Friday. Like It's not You're
- 36:34Speaker 2: not nothing is being sacrificed. Everything is only being enhanced
- 36:38Speaker 2: by the Bills being on Thanksgiving. I love it, man.
- 36:40Speaker 2: You still get your Turkey Day dinner for those that
- 36:42Speaker 2: are not going to the game. And then what are
- 36:44Speaker 2: you just You're eating your pies and your Cobblers and
- 36:47Speaker 2: stuff like that late at night and watching the Bills
- 36:48Speaker 2: trying to stay awake. I don't I don't know what's
- 36:51Speaker 2: wrong with that.
- 36:53Speaker 1: It's amazing. And have you not been around this, this
- 36:58Speaker 1: group of mamy Have you not been around the last
- 37:00Speaker 1: three times they played on Thanksgiving? And it was freaking electric?
- 37:05Speaker 1: I mean, Bob, when you you literally went once in Detroit,
- 37:08Speaker 1: that was one of the best experiences of your life.
- 37:11Speaker 4: The Cowboys.
- 37:12Speaker 1: The Cowboys game was like the most inspirational Josh Allen
- 37:16Speaker 1: coming to the forefront of stardom realistically on in front
- 37:19Speaker 1: of everybody the the noon, the hostest stuff on digs
- 37:24Speaker 1: on a torn whatever he had in his elbows. And
- 37:28Speaker 1: then and then you beat the breaks off the Saints.
- 37:31Speaker 1: You beat the breaks off the Saints in the night game.
- 37:33Speaker 1: The Bills on Thanksgiving are amazing. They just kilty or
- 37:37Speaker 1: you know, or winning in good games. So it's why
- 37:40Speaker 1: I love it. But the the go back Nickel City crew,
- 37:43Speaker 1: you want to see some you want to see some
- 37:45Speaker 1: ship go back week six. Look at the page. Let's
- 37:48Speaker 1: look at that poultry drop. When we're down in Charlotte
- 37:50Speaker 1: and you want to talk about Thanksgiving there it is
- 37:53Speaker 1: right there. That bitch was juicy. So you want another
- 37:58Speaker 1: juicy ass Thanksgiving. Here we are are, night eight twenty.
- 38:02Speaker 1: Get that juice up all day, get down to the
- 38:04Speaker 1: lot and watch the Bills play the Chiefs in a
- 38:07Speaker 1: in a great game, I mean obviously.
- 38:09Speaker 4: And if you're at home, nothing changes.
- 38:11Speaker 1: You can still have course, of course, and you have
- 38:13Speaker 1: your you're noon in your in your four. But this,
- 38:16Speaker 1: the night game usually stinks on Thanksgiving and you're tired
- 38:19Speaker 1: and whatever. But like this is like even not even
- 38:22Speaker 1: being a Bill's tomer here, like the world is going
- 38:24Speaker 1: to be like oh ship, Bill's Chiefs tonight, Like you know,
- 38:28Speaker 1: like that's a perfect way. Yeah, I think this is
- 38:31Speaker 1: going to be the most viewed Thanksgiving Night game they've
- 38:33Speaker 1: ever had in this situation because it's it's it's it's
- 38:37Speaker 1: quiet on Thanksgiving night. And yes, the Bills they did
- 38:40Speaker 1: play the one time, but it was the Saints and
- 38:41Speaker 1: it will you know, and they beat them by thirty.
- 38:44Speaker 1: This is legit Mahomes versus Josh on Thanksgiving. When Thanksgiving
- 38:48Speaker 1: is over, like that's it's juicy.
- 38:51Speaker 4: It's juicy.
- 38:54Speaker 1: If you say she's burnt, you don't know nothing about
- 38:56Speaker 1: frying a turkey juicy.
- 39:00Speaker 4: I love it, man, Yeah I don't. I don't get it.
- 39:02Speaker 2: And I'm not disparaging again any members of the Mafia
- 39:05Speaker 2: that go out to the game and they say it's
- 39:06Speaker 2: a hassle stuff like that, Like I would love to
- 39:08Speaker 2: still be in Buffalo and then I will be able
- 39:09Speaker 2: to go on Thanksgiving like that would be Like I
- 39:11Speaker 2: don't know, there's just I can't think of anything better
- 39:13Speaker 2: than that because Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.
- 39:15Speaker 4: I don't enjoy Christmas that much.
- 39:17Speaker 2: I do it for the kids and stuff like that,
- 39:19Speaker 2: Like Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Football family food, Like
- 39:23Speaker 2: I don't get it. I think it's a perfect marriage now.
- 39:26Speaker 1: Uh is electric?
- 39:29Speaker 2: Yeah, the matchups electric absolutely, and mahomes for sure. We'll
- 39:33Speaker 2: be back by then, even if he's not to start
- 39:34Speaker 2: the year, and we'll see him. We'll speculate on that
- 39:36Speaker 2: throughout the off season now. We talked about it DT.
- 39:39Speaker 2: Those first five games are just really really hard. They're
- 39:42Speaker 2: really really tough. A lot going on, and then this
- 39:45Speaker 2: that five game stretch that we're in right now is
- 39:48Speaker 2: another really tough. It's gonna test your metal. And starting
- 39:53Speaker 2: with the Chiefs on Thanksgiving, then you've got the Patriots
- 39:56Speaker 2: in Foxborough December sixth, four twenty five, another like you know,
- 40:00Speaker 2: primetime game, you know, semi primetime game. Man, listen, it'll
- 40:03Speaker 2: be game of the week on CBS. I don't I
- 40:06Speaker 2: don't know, man. I thought that we were better than them.
- 40:10Speaker 2: We don't need to talk about them anymore, but I
- 40:12Speaker 2: thought we were better than them last year. I did,
- 40:14Speaker 2: and and I just can't stand that these fuckers not
- 40:17Speaker 2: only beat us once on that White Jersey night, but
- 40:20Speaker 2: then they they had the tiebreakers to go and take
- 40:23Speaker 2: the division. Like I just like like, just fuck fuck
- 40:26Speaker 2: the Patriots, fuck Boston, Like go play your first play schedule,
- 40:29Speaker 2: and we'll see where you guys are staying in by
- 40:31Speaker 2: December six, because I don't think you're gonna be straight
- 40:32Speaker 2: up sitting pretty like you were last year.
- 40:34Speaker 4: You were sitting pretty last.
- 40:35Speaker 1: Straight up straight up. And it reminds me of you know,
- 40:38Speaker 1: teams that have like the great record without the score differential,
- 40:43Speaker 1: and they they didn't win. They had a tough they
- 40:48Speaker 1: had an easy schedule. They did win big games, they
- 40:50Speaker 1: beat us, you know, they did win, getting big games
- 40:52Speaker 1: down the stretch, but they did an easy schedule. To bet,
- 40:54Speaker 1: they got to turnovers like they got the first place.
- 40:58Speaker 1: They got the first place schedule. Now we'll see. But
- 41:01Speaker 1: this is this is right, I mean, this is great
- 41:03Speaker 1: by the NFL to throw this in. This is gonna
- 41:05Speaker 1: mean a lot in this game. And this it's probably
- 41:09Speaker 1: for the division this game, let's be honest, probably for
- 41:13Speaker 1: the division this game. And they know exactly they throw
- 41:15Speaker 1: it in and it's it's for five, and that's that's
- 41:19Speaker 1: what they're anticipating at least. So that's uh, that's where
- 41:22Speaker 1: I that's where I'm out there. It's for the division.
- 41:24Speaker 4: Treat it like all right, we'll see, we'll see.
- 41:26Speaker 2: I don't I'm not giving them any credit until they
- 41:28Speaker 2: earn it now again, five game stretch, it's tough. Thanksgiving
- 41:33Speaker 2: home against the Chiefs, then you go to Foxborough. Then
- 41:36Speaker 2: the next week you've got another primetime game. DT is right.
- 41:40Speaker 2: Every day of NFC team is hitting primetime Monday night, Sunday, Yeah,
- 41:46Speaker 2: Sunday night football against the Packers. And you've got to
- 41:50Speaker 2: assume that Michael Parks is gonna be ready by then.
- 41:52Speaker 2: You've got to assume that they'll have all their things
- 41:55Speaker 2: ready to go and respect to their offensive weapons and
- 41:57Speaker 2: love and stuff like that. If healthy, they can and
- 42:00Speaker 2: contend with the Rams, they can contend with the Seahawks.
- 42:03Speaker 2: They are one of the premier teams in the NFC
- 42:05Speaker 2: if healthy and everything goes together. Another quarterback sometimes can
- 42:08Speaker 2: get a little wonky, But I mean they they are.
- 42:11Speaker 2: They're they're formidable. They're they're the Packers like and and
- 42:15Speaker 2: and Michael Parsons takes them up to another level. We
- 42:17Speaker 2: saw that shit happen like instantly last year after the
- 42:20Speaker 2: Cowboys traded him.
- 42:21Speaker 4: He made an immediate impact.
- 42:23Speaker 2: So if he comes back from his knee injury, okay,
- 42:25Speaker 2: then obviously this will be a primetime matchup, it'll be great.
- 42:29Speaker 1: Well, right, the NFL. If the NFL this had what
- 42:32Speaker 1: this had obviously December written all over at Buffalo, Screen
- 42:36Speaker 1: Bay and Lambeau Abby. I mean, there's so much going
- 42:39Speaker 1: on this year with the I would obviously love to
- 42:41Speaker 1: get to Lambeau. It's a very rare occurrence. I think
- 42:44Speaker 1: the Bills as a history with like different international and
- 42:47Speaker 1: different things, They've only been in Lambeau like the least
- 42:50Speaker 1: amount of any other stadium ever. So it's it's something that, uh,
- 42:56Speaker 1: you want to get to. It's a historic ground for football,
- 42:59Speaker 1: but not gonna make it this year. Maybe maybe in
- 43:01Speaker 1: eight years we'll see. But the if it's rigged, if
- 43:05Speaker 1: the NFL's rigged, rob then the then the NFL owes
- 43:07Speaker 1: the Bills the super Bowl because we are giving them
- 43:10Speaker 1: the entertainment of a lifetime in this schedule, like you
- 43:14Speaker 1: are seeing seventeen in the Boys against top tier teams
- 43:20Speaker 1: from yeah, and out of it you the sequence you
- 43:23Speaker 1: just went to where the whole world's gonna be watching
- 43:25Speaker 1: eating their pie on Thanksgiving to Bill's Patriots. Oh shoot,
- 43:29Speaker 1: two playoff teams going head to head in their division.
- 43:31Speaker 1: Oh wait to Sunday night ball against an a stort
- 43:33Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers and a Josh Allen primetime team coming
- 43:36Speaker 1: in on Sunday. And that's just the start of what
- 43:38Speaker 1: we're about to get into. Like the NFL owes us
- 43:40Speaker 1: the Ring, rob we are giving them like if you
- 43:44Speaker 1: talk about making must see TV, and we're getting to
- 43:47Speaker 1: you each each week of this on this schedule. This
- 43:49Speaker 1: is crazy, Like this is crazy. Roger Goodell is feasting
- 43:54Speaker 1: more off the Bills than any other team this year.
- 43:57Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I mean I feel like Maximus in the Ring,
- 43:59Speaker 2: like you not entertained, like I'm just I'm giving you
- 44:02Speaker 2: everything that I love that point for sure, because like
- 44:05Speaker 2: I said, the Bills carry weight, and it's because of
- 44:07Speaker 2: seventeen and what he's able to do on the football field.
- 44:09Speaker 2: Everybody wants to see him play, regardless if you like
- 44:12Speaker 2: the Bills or not.
- 44:13Speaker 4: He's musty. TVs DT always says.
- 44:15Speaker 2: Now, we'll back that up the following week and it's
- 44:19Speaker 2: on a Saturday, the last Saturday before Christmas. Get all
- 44:22Speaker 2: your shopping done. The Bills will host the Chicago Bears,
- 44:26Speaker 2: the self proclaimed iceman, which is such bullshit, but don't
- 44:30Speaker 2: get me started on that. George Gervin is the only iceman.
- 44:33Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, their coach, comes down to town Ben Johnson
- 44:38Speaker 2: DT eight twenty Saturday, the last Saturday before Christmas. CBS
- 44:44Speaker 2: is carrying it again. Another banger right on that ass,
- 44:47Speaker 2: like another banger, another banger, another banger to.
- 44:52Speaker 1: A budding team with another historic you know, fan base
- 44:55Speaker 1: and franchise following it. And I love that. Was it
- 45:00Speaker 1: two years ago or three? No, three years ago? The
- 45:03Speaker 1: Bill's Dolphins with all red game, Josh Allen dies for
- 45:06Speaker 1: the two point conversion. They they're they're shoving out the
- 45:09Speaker 1: field for Bass to kick the game winner that Saturday night, Saturday,
- 45:12Speaker 1: Saturday night. And that's that that week before Christmas, you know,
- 45:18Speaker 1: when they slipped the Holidays, And I always thought that
- 45:21Speaker 1: was a good slot and I wanted that last year
- 45:23Speaker 1: and we didn't get it. So I'm happy we're back
- 45:25Speaker 1: in it. That's a good kind of feel where it's
- 45:28Speaker 1: it's right in that Christmas time. Oh, I do remember
- 45:32Speaker 1: it was. It was Christmas was like on a Thursday,
- 45:35Speaker 1: and then that game was the Saturday after Christmas on
- 45:38Speaker 1: a Thursday, so everybody had like the Thursday Friday Bill
- 45:42Speaker 1: Saturday off Sunday, like it was perfect, so perfect. In
- 45:45Speaker 1: this case, you don't get as many days, but it's
- 45:48Speaker 1: it's it's a Saturday night, so you still get the
- 45:50Speaker 1: Sunday and that's what everybody. It's a home game against
- 45:53Speaker 1: a cool a cool up and coming team, another NFC opponent.
- 45:58Speaker 1: But I like this slot. I was pissed we didn't
- 46:00Speaker 1: get into it last year at any point on the set.
- 46:02Speaker 1: I like this Saturday. You know, around the holidays, you know,
- 46:05Speaker 1: college football is kind of winding down or they're in
- 46:07Speaker 1: the bulls, so it's not like you're missing big games.
- 46:10Speaker 1: And then you got you know, you got a cool
- 46:12Speaker 1: one in Chicago. So I'm I'm happy about this slot. Yeah,
- 46:18Speaker 1: I like it a lot.
- 46:19Speaker 2: Now, as we begin to wrap up tonight, before we
- 46:21Speaker 2: get to the Tailgate Report and give our predictions, DT,
- 46:25Speaker 2: I mean back to the scene.
- 46:26Speaker 4: Of the crime, back to the scene of the crime.
- 46:29Speaker 4: To end this little again, Bill Smoff, you got a
- 46:31Speaker 4: five game stretch to start the year, starting with the Texans,
- 46:34Speaker 4: and that shit is going to be hard. Three and two,
- 46:37Speaker 4: I promise you.
- 46:37Speaker 2: Three and two is great, four and one, three and
- 46:40Speaker 2: two is great, four and one is excellent. Obviously, five
- 46:43Speaker 2: and oh is like you're picking the bills to go
- 46:45Speaker 2: seventeen to o this next block. This five games that
- 46:47Speaker 2: we're talking about ending with this last one is that
- 46:50Speaker 2: other block?
- 46:51Speaker 4: We're like, damn three and two.
- 46:52Speaker 2: Like, all right, we came like we came out of
- 46:54Speaker 2: this motherfucker. It was hard, like, but we came out
- 46:56Speaker 2: of it. Okay, four and one, excellent? Five and oh
- 46:59Speaker 2: again is a dream scenario. Chiefs on Thanksgiving Night, Patriots
- 47:04Speaker 2: in Foxboro four twenty five, Packers on Sunday night, Bears
- 47:09Speaker 2: on Saturday night before Christmas. You will go back to
- 47:11Speaker 2: the scene of the crime on the road. Don't know
- 47:14Speaker 2: what Brandon Cooks is going to be playing for this team,
- 47:16Speaker 2: but boy, you gotta go back there. And it's funny
- 47:20Speaker 2: because if if it wasn't what now we've already talked
- 47:24Speaker 2: about it. McDermott did not get fired because he lost
- 47:26Speaker 2: that game, but it doesn't matter because had he not
- 47:30Speaker 2: gotten to the Super Bowl, he was probably getting fired anyway.
- 47:32Speaker 2: But man, that was a shitty fucking lost.
- 47:34Speaker 4: DT.
- 47:34Speaker 2: We go back to Denver four point thirty on Netflix
- 47:37Speaker 2: on a Friday, and oh, what would that date be?
- 47:41Speaker 4: Christmas Day? DT? If people were mentioned about Thanksgiving. They're
- 47:45Speaker 4: really mentioned about Christmas, but I mean, at least to.
- 47:48Speaker 2: The fact that it's on the road, kind of mitigate
- 47:50Speaker 2: some of it. DT once again, I'm the Grinch on Christmas.
- 47:53Speaker 2: I don't like Christmas to do it for the kids.
- 47:55Speaker 2: This is the oh I told by. I told Bobby
- 47:57Speaker 2: today this word. I said, that's the only thing that
- 48:00Speaker 2: could get be in a great boodle Chriss is the bills.
- 48:02Speaker 4: So I'm down with it. Man.
- 48:03Speaker 2: By four thirty, all presents should be open. And if
- 48:07Speaker 2: you want to have your dinner at two o'clock or
- 48:09Speaker 2: three o'clock or four o'clock before kickoff, have at it.
- 48:11Speaker 2: If you want to have it any traditional six o'clock,
- 48:13Speaker 2: then have at it. Do whatever you want to do.
- 48:15Speaker 2: All presents should be opened by four thirty. Stop complaining,
- 48:19Speaker 2: get get ready to watch the bills. Man, Denver back
- 48:22Speaker 2: to the single crime.
- 48:23Speaker 1: We own one. We own one, and this is the first.
- 48:26Speaker 1: I mean, we're used to Thanksgiving. That's three, you know,
- 48:29Speaker 1: that's three trips already on Thanksgiving. We built the Thanksgiving tailgate,
- 48:33Speaker 1: you know, is one of the most beautiful things for
- 48:35Speaker 1: the holiday. With the bills playing on Thanksgiving, this will
- 48:37Speaker 1: be their fourth with Josh Allen, not fourth ever, but
- 48:40Speaker 1: fourth with Josh Allen in this in this run. So
- 48:43Speaker 1: now first, first Christmas, and again we're giving the NFL.
- 48:47Speaker 1: Are you not entertaining? We'll do it. Yep, sign us up.
- 48:50Speaker 1: Who's next, We'll play them, let's go. We own one.
- 48:53Speaker 1: That's what I got to say. We'll see there's this
- 48:55Speaker 1: is deep into the season. A lot can be on
- 48:57Speaker 1: the line for this game, and we we owe them one.
- 49:00Speaker 1: We owe them one. So I think it's it's the
- 49:02Speaker 1: stakes are just as high we're gonna be used to
- 49:05Speaker 1: in that primetime slot. We do have the Saturday, so technically, yes,
- 49:09Speaker 1: it's a short week, but we're playing a day longer,
- 49:11Speaker 1: so it's it's not that short of a week. It's
- 49:13Speaker 1: basically a Monday night game. I like it. We'll see
- 49:16Speaker 1: uh if old Saint Nick brings a bow some coal.
- 49:21Speaker 4: Yeah, I would be down with that for sure.
- 49:23Speaker 2: As we wrap up the season, the Bills would be
- 49:26Speaker 2: on the road from back to back weeks after the Broncos.
- 49:29Speaker 2: Then we'd go back on the road to South Beach.
- 49:31Speaker 2: We'll play our annual trip. It's awesome that it's January third. Yeah,
- 49:35Speaker 2: chance with New Year's. New Year's in South Beach. Yeah, Yeah,
- 49:39Speaker 2: New Year's in South Beach. The Buffalo Snowbirds will welcome
- 49:42Speaker 2: you down there elbow room. All of that type of
- 49:44Speaker 2: stuff will be paid by Shelley shout out line of
- 49:46Speaker 2: Dad Freshy Snowbirds. Yes, I don't know, Papa Reps are
- 49:52Speaker 2: down there. So yeah, I mean, it'll be fun. And
- 49:55Speaker 2: what a way you hit it on the head. A
- 49:57Speaker 2: lot of people will just go ahead and just make
- 49:58Speaker 2: it a trip. We're gonna we'll come on, we'll fly
- 50:00Speaker 2: in on New Year's Eve and we'll just make it
- 50:02Speaker 2: a We'll make it a trip. We're already off of work,
- 50:04Speaker 2: you know what I mean, So that type of thing.
- 50:05Speaker 2: So I expect a lot of Bill s Mafia to
- 50:08Speaker 2: show up down there in South Beach, January third, at
- 50:11Speaker 2: one o'clock. Now, the final game is not determined in
- 50:13Speaker 2: respects of the time, but we will close the season
- 50:15Speaker 2: at the New High Marks, taking them against the Jets
- 50:17Speaker 2: to finish out Week eighteen seventeen games always weird to say. Now,
- 50:21Speaker 2: DT DT, I'm gonna run through it before we get
- 50:24Speaker 2: to the Tailgate report and wrap up tonight. I'm gonna
- 50:27Speaker 2: I'm gonna get my notepan and see what alright he said,
- 50:32Speaker 2: I'm gonna be all right, all right, No, it's got
- 50:35Speaker 2: to be the initiary reaction, because the industry reaction is
- 50:38Speaker 2: the best reaction, sir, do it, do it for the
- 50:41Speaker 2: do it for the fans we have. Let's see, all right,
- 50:46Speaker 2: rapid fire Texans.
- 50:48Speaker 1: When we all one got to open up with a win, win, win.
- 50:55Speaker 2: For the Liones. Okay, Oh, then it's the home opener.
- 50:57Speaker 2: I mean, our Chargers win bye week home against the
- 51:01Speaker 2: Pats loss O fuck you on the road against the
- 51:07Speaker 2: Rams when m hmm. Okay, Raiders when Ravens loss? Okay,
- 51:20Speaker 2: Vikings when Jets when Dolphins.
- 51:27Speaker 3: Double, when you can only get what okay, Jeeves, let's
- 51:36Speaker 3: go loss loss on Thanksgiving night?
- 51:39Speaker 2: Damn all right, at least we already ate your dinner,
- 51:41Speaker 2: so you're not that disappointed. You'll fall asleep fast. Patriots
- 51:45Speaker 2: when Packers when set up a bit job Bears, when
- 51:56Speaker 2: I you're gonna do this, Broncos, when.
- 52:00Speaker 4: You're gonna do this?
- 52:01Speaker 2: All right, Dolphins win and the Jets when, in classic
- 52:09Speaker 2: DT fashion has particular our Buffalo bills to go fourteen
- 52:13Speaker 2: to three. I'm not I'm not hating on you at all.
- 52:17Speaker 2: It's just it's so fucking funny because Ravens Chiefs.
- 52:21Speaker 1: P Tritch Ravens Chiefs.
- 52:23Speaker 4: Yeah, even if you're throwing.
- 52:25Speaker 1: Packers, you throwing packers, I'll do I'll do thirteen and four.
- 52:31Speaker 4: I'll no, no, you did, ra just kidding. Actually was
- 52:35Speaker 4: fourteen to three.
- 52:36Speaker 1: Well, I needed to get that Broncos game to be
- 52:40Speaker 1: a win. I needed that Broncos game to be a win.
- 52:43Speaker 1: So that's where I went with that.
- 52:44Speaker 2: I know it's just all based on the motion, and
- 52:46Speaker 2: I love you so much for it. I looked at
- 52:49Speaker 2: it last night and I was like, I can't see
- 52:52Speaker 2: less than five. I can't see, Yes, I can't see
- 52:56Speaker 2: less than five losses. So I'll stick at twelve and five.
- 52:59Speaker 2: I think should be good enough to win the division
- 53:01Speaker 2: because again I am banking on the Patriots to regressing
- 53:05Speaker 2: to the meme. Again, I thought they were frogs last
- 53:07Speaker 2: year with their schedule. So I'm sticking that twelve and five. Conservatively,
- 53:11Speaker 2: I still think against the division and probably may not
- 53:14Speaker 2: get you the one seed, but we'll deal with that
- 53:16Speaker 2: and we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Now,
- 53:18Speaker 2: as we begin to wrap up. The Niko City Crew
- 53:22Speaker 2: Tailgate Report is presented by Queen City Vintage. Listen, check

- 54:12Speaker 2: It's been a lot of fun, you know, Like I
- 54:16Speaker 2: I don't have anything bad to say about the season.
- 54:18Speaker 2: You know, congratulations to the Lindy getting these guys to
- 54:21Speaker 2: buy into his system and to play hard.
- 54:23Speaker 4: You know, it was fun while it lasted.
- 54:24Speaker 2: And then I kind of put a caveat of there,
- 54:26Speaker 2: like just to help sabershood out. I was like, listen,
- 54:28Speaker 2: we probably would have got destroyed by the Panthers. Who
- 54:31Speaker 2: excuse me, the Hurricanes. We haven't lost a game yet
- 54:34Speaker 2: to start the playoffs. Listen, it's all good. Great season.
- 54:37Speaker 2: Then they had the fucking audacity to win that tough
- 54:39Speaker 2: game Game four in Montreal, hostile crowd and DT. I
- 54:43Speaker 2: don't know, man, I last night was not was not good.
- 54:47Speaker 4: We went to Als.
- 54:48Speaker 2: I took all the kings with me from and then
- 54:51Speaker 2: one of Quincy's teammates from the flag football team that
- 54:54Speaker 2: I coached for Quincy. Right now, I won't play on Sundays.
- 54:57Speaker 2: We appropriately named the Bills.
- 54:59Speaker 4: I named it them.
- 54:59Speaker 2: I was like, it gave me like browns or something.
- 55:01Speaker 2: I emailed the guy. I'm like, we're the Bills. Okay,
- 55:06Speaker 2: it's fucking flag football for six year olds. We're gonna
- 55:08Speaker 2: be the Bills. I'm changing the name. And one of
- 55:10Speaker 2: his teammates, his dad is from Canada from Montreal, spent
- 55:14Speaker 2: a lot of time in Toronto, which means he spent
- 55:15Speaker 2: a lot of time in Buffalo. And then you know,
- 55:17Speaker 2: I met him when I coached his son in basketball
- 55:20Speaker 2: last season and he was like, man, I listened to
- 55:22Speaker 2: the podcast now stuff like that. So I invited him out.
- 55:25Speaker 2: He came out in full. I mean he had the
- 55:27Speaker 2: kids in Montreal. Uh oh, he had a jersey, his
- 55:30Speaker 2: wife had a jersey. I was like, you motherfuckers. I
- 55:32Speaker 2: really like Diehards. He's like, I'm die hard. So we
- 55:34Speaker 2: had a good time. I did leave when it got
- 55:38Speaker 2: five three.
- 55:38Speaker 4: He's like you're leaving.
- 55:39Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm like, it's a school night. It's a
- 55:41Speaker 2: school night. So he was laughing and giving me a
- 55:42Speaker 2: shit about that. But DT it didn't look good last night.
- 55:46Speaker 2: I don't have I'm now past the hope stage. I'm
- 55:49Speaker 2: just gonna watch tomorrow night and and I'll watch the game.
- 55:52Speaker 2: If they win, I'm gonna be obviously so happy. And
- 55:54Speaker 2: then you stuck for Game seven.
- 55:55Speaker 4: But I'm not. I don't. I'm not expecting anything anymore. Man,
- 56:00Speaker 4: this has been a.
