shotgun Boy. I am really really excited for today's live episode. I've had
1:19
some nervous energy this entire week. The stakes of what is going on tonight
1:25
has kind of been getting to me, but in a positive way as well.
1:29
I think it's some of the finality that the season could be over tonight,
1:33
a small chance and it's just kind of got me all over the place.
1:36
But my vibes are feeling great today. I'm feeling really optimistic about tonight's
1:41
chances after last night's results with Pittsburgh winning, we really know what we got
1:46
to do. So at one o'clock we will get a lot more clarity.

2:02
DTA from three thirty Linden, the Bachelor Pad, What's good DT?
2:06
How much the city? What's up? What's up in the city? Happy
2:08
New Year? Happy Game Day to you, Robin who let's go man,
2:13
woke up, pumped up, We got all day, We got eight thirty
2:15
to get to it, and like you said, we'll know exactly what needs
2:17
to happen. So a different type of vibe in this game day. You
2:21
know, we've been playing the playoffs for a few weeks now, though,
2:23
so let's lock in and get ready to roll today. Yeah, we definitely
2:29
been playoff mode. It's funny because I was looking at my notes, and
2:31
then I was talking with you, you know before earlier, and it's just
2:35
it's crazy. When the Bills were at six and six, I had no
2:38
idea that we would be looking at this type of scenario, you know,
2:40
to be completely honest, and you know, I don't really know who honestly
2:44
could have as well. You know, things look doom and gloom at that
2:46
point in time. The season was kind of on the brink, for lack
2:50
of a better term, and really, the Bills rattle off four straight and
2:53
we're looking down the barrel of an AFC East championship, fourth consecutive, and
2:58
I never would have thought that it would have, you know, a possibility,
3:00
DT, but it's it's really all right here in front of us down
3:02
in South Beach. Tonight, the Bills again, they win today, They
3:07
are the number two seedt tonight in the AFC East and win the conference once
3:10
again when the division. Excuse me, and it's really something crazy because the
3:15
way that the season was going, DT, it just looked like the offense
3:17
couldn't get their stuff together, the defense wasn't looking, you know that great,
3:22
and losing some games for us, and it all kind of tipped upside
3:24
down and now we've got an opportunity, man, to kind of right all
3:28
of the wrongs. Everything would be forgiven. If the Bills can go out
3:30
and and get that win tonight, everything is forgiven. Yeah, and i'd
3:35
been they don't owe us, you know, as fans, they they owe
3:38
themselves, and you know, in secondary they owe us because they've played with
3:42
our emotions all year. Rob. We come in with another, you know,
3:45
high expectations and roll in and the games were losing in the beginning of
3:49
the year. We're kind of be us and we were beating ourselves and then
3:53
it was you know, a little comfort because we're beating ourselves so we can
3:58
get better. But then it kept happen, so it was like maybe we're
4:00
just not that good and and then we started a role. We started a
4:04
role, and they bring us back in and every game's been a nail bier.
4:08
And man, this team's beating us up, Rob, beating up the
4:11
herd, taking taking taking some years off the Mafia and Nicholas City Crew's life
4:15
because you went back and forth, back and forth, and you know,
4:18
now they are where we expected them to be. But you know, it's
4:24
a colling flip and do or die to get it done. It's who's gonna
4:27
want it more. So I would like to say they owe themselves and they
4:30
owe a second, but uh, they got to give us something back for
4:33
the for the hell this year, right Rob, like bad or be good
4:39
and and and they've taken us all the way to week eighteen, last game
4:42
what is it two hundred and seventy seven NFL games or something like that,
4:46
and this is uh, this is it all comes down. So they come
4:49
on, give us a little something, Rob. I love it. As
4:53
we as we get ready to get into the show today, we wanted to
4:56
bring this to you and it was really important because I know that we missed
4:59
on Thursday, but we were both a little bit busy, but we wanted
5:01
to make sure that we touched it with the fan base before we got a
5:04
chance to So again, shout out to you know, Jay Spence, the
5:08
King who hooked us up with Justice General. Salute to the general over there
5:12
at Buffalo fan Base that we simulcast on. We just had him on last
5:15
week and we had a great time chopping it up with him. And you
5:17
know it's it's funny because you know we'll lay it out for you Bill's Mafia
5:23
nicol City Crew. It's it's pretty simple. So last night the Pittsburgh Steelers
5:27
beat the backups of the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore and a rainy day was a
5:30
really uh it was a gross game and it was wet and TJ. Watt
5:34
goes down for the Steelers. So even if they make the playoffs, they're
5:38
gonna have to deal with that. But again, because Pittsburgh wins. This
5:41
is how it works. Now, you got to tune in at one o'clock.
5:44
I know that you may not be really interested in Jacksonville Tennessee, but
5:46
you need to keep that game at least on refresh because that's gonna be a
5:50
big deal. What happens is that a Jacksonville wins, they will be the
5:53
AFC South champion and they will go ahead and be into the playoffs and and
5:57
lock it in for themselves as well as the four seat. Now, if
6:00
they lose to Tennessee some way somehow, then what's gonna happen is that all
6:04
of the marbles are still on the on the table for tonight, but the
6:06
Bills will get a chance to back into the playoffs with a loss. However,
6:11
if Jacksonville wins like they are, you know, favored to do.
6:14
I think that just that Trevor Lawrence is back at that point in time,
6:16
Nicol City Crew, it's it Bill's Mafia, that's it. If you lose,
6:20
it's it's over. So you've you've got to go ahead and take care
6:24
of visits tonight. The stakes couldn't be higher DT, and and that I
6:28
think that's one of the reasons why I had some nervous energy. I was
6:30
talking with people on Twitter this this week and they're talking about, like,
6:32
oh, man, Bill's mafy, we don't hear you, we don't hear
6:35
you. Why we don't hear you all this week? And I'm like,
6:38
man, I think it's just the nervous energy. I think DT, it's
6:41
the dichotomy of AFC East Champs four times in a row and we own Miami
6:46
and where their daddy to the season's over and tomorrow and WGR everybody is talking
6:50
about everything that they're upset about, why the season go this way? What
6:55
is wrong? And I promise you, man, just that that dichotomy,
6:59
Man, it's just it's nerve wrecking DT. I mean, the starches and
7:02
the most you know, optimistic of Bills fans can at least agree with that.
7:06
It's a sure sure and I'm with you, Robin, and I'm with
7:13
there with the nervous energy, try to keep the level all week and you
7:15
know, the weekend we start to ramp it up. But you know,
7:18
for me, this game isn't about Miami. It's not about beating Miami and
7:21
solidifying us as the best. It's about us, you know, earning it
7:26
from what we had to deal with the past two years to you know,
7:29
the adversity. We keep coming out and taking hits and getting it done.
7:32
There was a study this week that came out with like the most unlucky teams
7:38
in the NFL. I don't know if you've seen this. I got to
7:39
send it to you, and it basically breaks down, you know, luck
7:43
plays like bounces that go aways and timing situations and weather situations, and the
7:49
Bills are the unluckiest team in the NFL over the last five years and these
7:53
unlucky situations. So it feels like we're all, you know, we talk
7:56
about the curse if you will, and all this stuff always going wrong,
8:00
but it feels like we're always behind the eight ball. But something that's been
8:03
a little different other than the playoffs. So far, this with this team
8:05
and Josh Allen's and McDermott's life has been, you know, winning these games
8:11
and fighting through that adversity to be to be the lead dog. So it's
8:16
more about us kind of overcoming the adversity over the last two years I think,
8:20
then solidifying like, oh, we beat the Dolphins and they've been running
8:24
their mouth and think they're good, and you know, we take it back.
8:26
So so that's why I'm at like, this is a this is an
8:30
organizational win tonight, Like this is needed for the organization to kind of you
8:37
know, our mo of fighting through adversity and winning a game like this has
8:41
to be more about that than you know, knocking off a rival and winning
8:43
the Vision. It's it's more for the legacy, if you will, denied
8:48
it. Not to get too deep into it, but that's what I'm feeling.
8:50
Yeah, I mean, I understand exactly what you're talking about. Is
8:54
it's kind of a way to kind of you know, exercise of demons and
8:56
some things that in the past that you know, you you weren't able to
9:00
get over the hump. And one of the things about it is that they
9:03
always tell us that we're not able to get it done, and you know,
9:05
we're always you know, the second, We're never the first, and
9:07
we're always you know what I mean, a bride's maade, never the bride,
9:09
And like, yeah, it's one of those situations where you know,
9:11
I want that type of you know, feeling for the city. I want
9:13
that type of thing for the for the fan base. Is because of the
9:16
fact that you know, I'm dedicated, I'm you know, I'm I'm into
9:20
the mafia. I'm you know, see the ticket hole all the way down
9:22
here in Charlotte and I drive up like a maniac and all that type of
9:24
stuff. So I've been doing that for since two thousand and nine, you
9:28
know what I mean. So I want some type of payoff. I want
9:31
this to work. And I know that It's funny because we always talk about
9:35
we never know when it's going to be our year, you know what I
9:37
mean, until it happens. So sometimes you can see it coming. And
9:39
I know a couple of years ago we were the you know, prohibitive favor
9:41
but you never know when it's going to be a year. We stick it
9:45
to the playoffs. I think that we are a dangerous team. I think
9:46
that we can get something done. And again we talked with it with you
9:50
know, Justice last week, who really you know, scares us in the
9:54
conference and you know Baltimore looks great and all that other type of stuff.
9:56
But I'll put my chips on Josh Allen. I'll up my chips on the
10:00
Bills if any type of situation comes up, whether it's home war away,
10:03
and I just want to get into the dance. I want them to be
10:07
a part of the tournament. You can't win it if you don't qualify,
10:09
and that's really where my focus is. So as we transition DT, we'll
10:13
quickly go over last week. I know that everybody is focused on tonight and
10:18
I understand that, but we want to kind of set it up as well.
10:20
Bills win twenty seven to twenty one over the New England Patriots last week
10:24
at home in the final regular season game for the home crowd and DT.
10:28
It was ugly, but we talked about it before we named the episode of
10:31
the way that we did. Style points be damned last week and it really
10:33
didn't matter. But the only thing that I can really take away from it
10:37
to be honesty t is that seventeen was inconsistent. He was off. He
10:41
admittedly so said that it was one of his worst games and he looked like
10:43
it. Now it's been a few weeks of this DT, but I'm wondering
10:48
as we head into tonight, is this something that we can dismiss as you
10:50
know, just bad performances or whatever the case may be. I know that
10:54
Josh has kind of had that up and down year, and that's one of
10:56
the most consistent things about this inconsistency he's in formed is that the ups and
11:01
the ebbs and the flows have been there. But when you really, you
11:03
know, peel back some of the layers, he's a He's an MVP type
11:07
quarterback caliber quarterback. I mean, I can't believe it didn't make the Pro
11:09
Bowl whatever. That's a popularity contest. We don't even need to get into
11:13
that. But forty touchdowns forty two touchdowns total, he's he leads the league
11:18
like he's he's got the actual juice to do whatever he wants to do on
11:20
the field. And that's one of the reasons why we can be so confident
11:24
in the bills of chances. But he hasn't really been on DT and it's
11:26
kind of been alarming because last week was probably one of the worst games I've
11:31
seen him play since his rookie year. Yeah, I mean, we're you
11:35
look, the question kind of came up this year of man, like,
11:39
not me personally, but I think in the in the media overall, the
11:43
question came up of you know, is he a Carson Wentz. Is he
11:46
a Philip Rivers? A great talent, you know, great great leader,
11:50
but he doesn't have that it mode, you know, that it mode.
11:52
And it's like, I could never really get on that band leg because we've
11:56
seen him put on this cape and do some miraculous things, you know,
12:00
so many times. And this year it's been a quietly statistically leading year for
12:03
him, you know, with kind of everything is right where it is,
12:07
the games they lose, you know, he kind of flipped the switch at
12:11
some point. It was a little late in a lot of them, but
12:13
he had the lead in a lot of those games, and then there was
12:16
the defense kind of letting them, letting them down late in the game.
12:18
And there was obviously a lot of other factors. But it seems like he's
12:22
always you know, he's squashing narrative, he's not a Carson Wentz or Philip
12:26
Rivers. He always kind of flips that switch when when they need to.
12:30
It's been a little late this season when it's come, but now I just
12:33
feel like this is the confidence I'm feeling today is because of one seven.
12:37
It's because I feel like he can flip into that superman mode if he needs
12:41
to, and last year against the Dolphins, when when he literally had to
12:43
in those early years in his career when he was just winning games for us,
12:48
and I think he knows what we talked about the legacy of this game,
12:50
what it means to his legacy, and what it could mean to this
12:54
Bills team who could make a run. They're very capable of, you know,
12:58
could win the ball if they get in and we both agree on that.
13:01
So that's where my confidence is coming with one seven today. It's he
13:05
can put that capon when he needs He's not gonna let it happen for us
13:09
to lose this game. And you can say what you want about the year,
13:11
and there's been upt and downs, but tonight he's not gonna let it
13:15
happen, you know. That's what That's what gets me pumped up, and
13:20
that's where you have a franchise and an elite quarterback, the greats, the
13:24
when Tom Brady was going into this game, you know, to win his
13:26
twelfth AFCAST Championship in a row or whatever it was, he you knew they
13:31
were gonna win. And Josh has to get to that point where he knows
13:33
he's gonna win this game and and give the team the confidence going in the
13:37
playoffs into a home game and just take take care of business today. So
13:41
that's all pretty much. I mean, the defense is playing good. There's
13:43
a lot of other things I like about this team right now, but my
13:46
main confidence is I wake up and I'm talking to you this morning. Rob
13:50
is one seven putting squad. You're not Philip Rivers. You're not Carson Wentz,
13:54
your won seven, your Buffalo savior, put the capeon. Get us
13:56
a division tonight. I love it. I love it. If you want
14:00
to interact with us, check us out on Twitter again, and check us
14:03
out on stream yard. You could hit us up in the comments, and
14:07
I'd love to interact with you guys this morning as well and see exactly what
14:11
your thoughts are. How nervous are you Bills Mafia? Are are you confident
14:15
like DT, are you confident in the fact that the Bills can get this
14:18
thing done tonight? Again? All the marbles, all the different cliches have
14:22
already been said, and this is for everything, a whole kitten kaboodle,
14:24
But it really is that kind of situation again, depending on what happens at
14:28
one o'clock with the Jags and the Titans. We'll see now as we transition,
14:33
DT, just a few takeaways from last week's game, Ladies and gentlemen.
14:37
Your cornerback one, Rasul Douglas. I mean, this, dude,
14:41
man, this might be one of the best bean moves that I've seen in
14:43
recent years, obviously, besides Stefan Diggs. I mean, to get a
14:48
guy that comes in and literally just injects instant instant production is something that is
14:54
just to behold. Like, I don't care what happens Trey. You see
14:56
Trey White right behind me. He's one of my favorite Bills. You know,
15:00
when you hope him a speed of recovery comes back healthy from his injury
15:03
again another one, so it's really tough for him. But I mean,
15:07
I really feel much better about the whole situation knowing that Raszull Douglas is in
15:11
town because of the fact that we've got him for another year. We've got
15:13
an option to go ahead and extend him to get that cap number down next
15:16
year if we need to as well, to help out with our cap situation,
15:18
which we know is a little bit strenuous now that Josh is starting to
15:22
get that back next year. DT this the cat is always around. This
15:26
motherfucker's always around the ball. He's always making plays, He's always hawking,
15:30
and I just I just love his energy and I love the fact that he
15:31
is so smart that one play where he peels off and make sure last week
15:37
that he you know, takes that pick off of that bad pass from Zapi.
15:39
Like, I just love his awareness. It has to be if it
15:43
was Madden, it'd be a ninety eight ninety nine. His awareness is through
15:46
the roof. I love it. I'm that's your quarterback. That's your quarterback.
15:48
One man being. Bean's taking some criticism, not as much as Sean
15:52
McDermott, but Bean's taken a little bit of criticism with you know, some
15:56
some picks that are been kicking around the team that are are hitting it.
16:00
I texted you after the game on Sunday, you know, I think this
16:03
Rasseul Douglas move is makes him safe for the indefinite future. I mean,
16:10
this is this dude can ball out and it also speaks I mean critical of
16:14
McDermott, but again we'll give him props to speaks speaks honest to his defense,
16:18
and you come in as a good player, you can make plays in
16:22
this defense, and it shows exactly what it is. I mean, he
16:25
just needed you know, he's talked about it, Rasoul Douglas all year.
16:29
He needs the confidence of the backups, you know, behind him, and
16:32
the safeties behind him, and the line getting crusher in front of him,
16:34
and then it kind of just lets him go out and eat and play play
16:37
his best. So give credit to Sean McDermott's defense where a good player can
16:41
come in and be good, and we're seeing the benefits of that with thirty
16:45
one. I mean, that's what a game. I mean, the Big
16:48
six. And he really should have had a couple more this year. You
16:49
know, he's kind of just he's gonna get to the point where teams are
16:52
stopping to throw to him and that's only gonna help us. Yeah. No,
16:56
it's been really fun to watch him play. Like I said, the
17:00
his instincts. I think it's his ball instincts. Is awareness picking up that
17:03
fumble he had, he actually had the tip before the at Oliver interception that
17:07
caused it. I mean, he's he's just all over the field, and
17:10
I just love his instincts. I love the way that he sees the field,
17:11
He sees the offense, and he kind of thinks like a quarterback,
17:15
like he he knows and it kind of anticipates what these guys are thinking.
17:18
And he's able to peel off the route, you know, like I said,
17:21
plump sometimes playing zone and then just making making waves. Now another guy,
17:25
uh tip the hat. One of my favorite Buffalo bills, at Oliver
17:27
DT. I mean you're I mean, come on, I mean riding cowboy.
17:33
I mean this this cat man, He's something else. Because I had
17:37
tweeted, like right after that that one handed pick that he is everything that
17:40
I wanted Marcel Darius to be. You know, the motor, the the
17:45
want to you know, the awareness and everything about at Oliver screams you know,
17:51
all pro to me, you know what I mean? And again the
17:52
Pro Bowl whatever, that's a popularity contest, but I swear at Oliver's having
17:56
his best season as a Buffalo Bill And what what does it say really the
18:00
fact that he's doing this right after he got the bag. Yeah, ye
18:03
see, you know, motherfuckers get the bag and then they they slough off,
18:07
and marceuth Arius was was chief among them. He signs that big deal
18:11
from Whaley and then all of a sudden, we don't see him anymore,
18:14
and he's, you know, we just don't notice him anymore, and he's
18:15
just not giving that same type of effort. And the one thing that I
18:18
really can respect about at Oliver is the fact that he loves to play football.
18:22
He loves to mix it up in the middle. And I know that
18:25
he's so happy that the Kwan Jones is back. Dayda is back, and
18:26
it's going to only help him out as we propel into the playoffs because of
18:30
the fact that this cat is just something else. Man, he is something
18:33
else. I love his motor and how he gets after it and and what
18:37
an amazing interception that he had the other day. The energy, baby,
18:41
he's he's if he will to step on Digs on defense, the player that
18:45
every single play is you know, our hard every time, and a huge
18:49
credit to him with you know, getting the bag and then having his best
18:52
season as opposed to having your best season getting the bag and then tailing off
18:56
like you know we saw with marcelth Arius. So I love it. I
19:00
love the new you know when the crowd getting into it, we're waving,
19:03
you know, riding the Cowboys new like everything about it is pure and the
19:07
in a franchise type player. And you know, the energy brings with that
19:11
defensive line is with with the Jones getting back and and everybody kind of only
19:15
only gets better. I mean, Tim Settle plays a lot better when when
19:18
that Oliver is in the rotation with du Gwan Jones, and and then Russeau
19:22
is able to kind of get inside a little more with that too. So
19:25
I love it. I love the whole atmosphere, and and and glad that
19:29
you know it really didn't It could have went three ways, right, he
19:32
could have went downhill after he got the bag. He could have he could
19:34
have petered out, and then he could have played great. And he's the
19:37
only defensive lineman on contract right Rob, so you know he knows he's the
19:41
long stay here on this defensive line and he's gonna be the face of it.
19:45
And and I love it, man. That's it's a great celebration on
19:48
Sunday in the stadium, dude. And when he had it literally without even
19:52
looking everybody around, it's it's an awesome thing. Awesome TikTok dyls Mafia is
19:59
just something Dad do I rep Yeah, man, it's it's awesome to watch
20:02
him play. And like I said, I just I really enjoy his energy
20:03
and like that's what That's what I meant by that tweet was like I wanted
20:07
my I loved Marcel Darius when he was drafted. I thought he was a
20:10
beast. He started out his career as a beast, and then all of
20:12
a sudden, like he just got lacks of days ago. He got that
20:15
money and it just changed his whole outlook and and I just I think it
20:18
speaks to the character at Oliver, the fact that he just got paid and
20:22
he's playing harder than ever. So I love it. Squish the fish question
20:25
he was questioned for that, he was questioned for given effort in the early
20:27
part of his career, you know, and and had some personal issues coming
20:32
in you know, in Houston and everything else. So so good for him
20:34
to kind of break through and NB our guy. Yeah, as we transition
20:38
and begin to wrap up a little bit DT, it's squished the fish weeks.
20:41
This is it. Uh, the Dolphins are kind of limping into this
20:45
game DT health wise. Now it'll be interesting to monitor. I know that
20:48
Moster is banged up, Wattles banged up. We know that. You know,
20:52
the cheetah is banked up. He's been in a walking boat and he's
20:55
had a crazy week as well down there in South Beach. What do you
20:59
think with the and how it's going to play a part in tonight's game,
21:00
because you know, I don't want the Bills to look at it as they
21:04
don't have all of their guys. So let's take our foot off the gas
21:07
again. I want that mentality from back earlier in the year, the forty
21:11
eight twenty drubbing, where you know, it seemed like McDermott again understood the
21:15
moment from the very beginning. Let the offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey at the time
21:21
continue to push his foot on the gas pedal and again all it took was
21:22
a couple of stops. It was a back and forth game. After twenty
21:26
one to twenty one, we already talked about a DT well after that game,
21:29
it seemed like the Bills understood that they had to make sure that they
21:32
kept the you know, the ball rolling. They kept scoring and because of
21:34
that, you never let these guys get into a groove and come second half
21:37
the game was out of hand. So I'm looking for pedal to the medal.
21:41
Everything on the gas today, all gas, no breaks. I really
21:45
am looking for that to be the Moniker from tonight, and it needs to
21:48
be from kickoff to be honest. So what do you think about the injuries
21:52
for Miami because it seems like they got some significant guys banged up and it
21:56
could affect the game. Well, rob even if these guys play, we
21:59
are we got the edge on it, right because this has been in the
22:02
it's been a distraction if you will, all all week. You know,
22:06
are they playing, are they not playing. Let's game planing you in,
22:08
let's game plan you out. Let's make sure other guys are getting reps just
22:11
in case you don't play, but let's make sure you're getting reps if you
22:14
do. It's totally you know, the distraction is are you playing or are
22:18
you're not playing? As opposed to getting prepared to face you know, one
22:21
of the best defenses and when and offenses in the Buffalo bills on Sunday nights.
22:25
So I think we already had the edge with no matter what happens.
22:30
If the guys come out and and they're in, you know they're in,
22:33
but they haven't had a full week of practice and they weren't focused as much
22:36
as you know if they were going to be in all weeks. So on
22:38
the bill side of things, I think exactly what you said, play it
22:41
like their full bore, play it. Even if Jacksonville loses, you got
22:45
to play like it's Stewart die Tonite and go in and run it up,
22:48
just like that fourth Week four, you know, dropping at home, and
22:52
I'd be shocked if Miami gives that to us again. And you know,
22:56
lets us hit their weak spots like we did in the Week four, but
23:00
you got to come out with that same mentality. So I'm all about that.
23:03
I think we have the edge because it's been a distraction from the start
23:06
all week from the Miami Dolphins. All right, Well, I've got two
23:10
Nickel City Crew's original members here that want to say what's up, and we've
23:15
got a little do it because, uh, you know, my rider died.
23:18
It's funny. I talk about him all the time. DT. You
23:19
know, Nate, he just is by my side all the time watching these
23:23
games. He's gonna do it again. He's just made the elite football team
23:26
down here for seven on seven. He's the quarterback and he's got practice tonight
23:30
from six to eight. And then he said, Dad, I'll be right
23:33
back to watch. So come, I'll let the crew. Nate, you
23:36
want to come out, Let the crew come on in. I let the
23:37
crew say. What's up to Bill's mafield man? What's up? What's up?
23:41
Nate? You gotta Bill's will get a win today? Yeah? So
23:48
talking to the mic, what's up? Yeah? What's good? What are
23:51
you feeling? What do you think is gonna happen to that? Those are
23:52
winning today? Oh, he's got he's got scores for you. Yeah,
23:57
you've got another another heart red shirt on us. What let's go, let's
24:04
go. Can you see Quincy the final one here? Bobby has already gone
24:07
to a birthday party, but you see Quincy in the building. You say,
24:11
what's up to? Nickel City crews win tonight? Yeah? What's what
24:18
they're gonna? Josh Allen gonna do the thing tonight. Stephan Dick's gonna do
24:22
the thing. He's a little nervous. Cripen Kings are getting ready, man,
24:29
they're getting ready to They just had breakfast and they're getting ready to to
24:32
get their bills gear on and get loose for the day game. So,
24:36
uh, thanks for saying what's up to the crew? Man? I love
24:37
it. I love it. I love it. I love it, I
24:38
love it, I love it. All right. Well, that's a huge
24:41
day, huge day. Last time, last time they last time we were
24:45
together on game day. Uh remember that name Hines House Calls, House Called
24:49
was started. So ohne, let's have another nice special teams day today.
24:53
I know that's right. I know that's right. Man. As we continue,
24:56
and as we continue and and about to wrap up, it's been so
25:00
much fun. You know, this year has been a crazy year, and
25:03
I know that you and I haven't got a chance to hook up as much
25:07
as we wanted to, but it's been such a fun year and I just
25:08
wanted to let you know man that I love your fandom. You know,
25:12
you're my brother from another mother, and I just you're my Bill's best friend.
25:15
Man, Like I love it, and I'm really excited about twenty twenty
25:18
four. I was talking with General and he's got some big plans for us
25:22
as well here on fan base, and I'm really excited about the future here.
25:26
And it's just I just don't want this season to end tonight, DT,
25:30
I really don't. I want to get back up there for the playoffs
25:33
and see you man again, and I don't want this to be the end.
25:36
So I'm sending all my positive energy down to South Beach. Man.
25:37
I am looking for this to be to be it. Man. I cannot
25:42
let this season end tonight. Man, I cannot imagine what it's going to
25:45
be like if the season is over tonight. So I'm sending all my positive
25:49
vibes down to South Beach DT. I don't know about you, man,
25:52
Yeah, yeah, man, we gotta you know, this team. Give
25:55
this team credit for the past couple of years because it's given us content.
25:59
You know, if this was in the drought, this would be a lot
26:00
harder to have the committing crew and get up here, get up here every
26:03
week and talk about this squad, you know. So let's give credit to
26:07
this team for giving us some content, giving us this energy, you know
26:11
that that we love. But yeah, it's no matter, like I said,
26:14
no matter what I've just said it all week. If even if Pittsburgh
26:17
wins and Jacksonville wins, this has to be a du er die mentality tonight.
26:21
We are the hungrier team, we are the better team. We are
26:23
you know, all have the have the most bite. We were running faster.
26:29
Everything has got to be better tonight to beat the Dolphins as there's a
26:33
lot of distraction coming in and you know mafia is down there, strong man,
26:37
that's it. Heard them too, they said vivid seats. Said now
26:40
they said vivid seats, it was like fifty three percent. Now that that
26:42
doesn't they don't cover all of the different secondary markets, do they Vivid seats?
26:48
Yeah, no, exactly, So I don't know about that. But
26:51
that's I still think tickets bought in Buffalo. Yeah, oh no, it's
26:55
it's like you know, with Buffalo zip codes. I just don't you know
26:57
how much that representative entire stateium how accurate it is. That doesn't even count
27:02
the people that are already down in Florida that are going to this game.
27:04
You know, people that live there, a lot of down from from New
27:08
York anyway are down there ready to rock. And this is snowbird season right
27:12
after Christmas everyone right, that is snowbirding is down in Florida. So I
27:15
think there's going to be If that number was accurate, we might see upwards
27:21
like seventy percent, you know. And it's crazy. That's why it's not
27:26
two hundred degrees like last year. Nice cool sixty five degrees under the lights
27:32
South Beach. Baby, the vibe is there. And what else is seven
27:34
of them boys come out with a little you know, let's go, little
27:37
Rick Ross energy. I mean, what else do you want? I mean,
27:41
I mean this is for professional athletes. This is what you you know,
27:44
if you have any pride, this is what you you know, This
27:45
is for what you want for. I mean all the you know, I
27:48
think about that whole you know, Bill Parcells, is what you lift all
27:51
them damn weights for and stuff like that, like this is this is the
27:53
moment where you want to show up. This is the moment where you know
27:56
it's it's it's backs against the wall. And how do you perform when the
28:00
pressure is the brightest? And how do you perform when you know, what
28:03
do we talk about pressure bus pipes? Like how are you going to perform
28:07
and I know that, you know, I'll keep everything positive. I won't
28:08
talk about big Derbot today or anything like that, but you know, I
28:11
did notice that, you know, Josh Allen last week wanted to go forward
28:14
on those fourth outs. You know, I noticed, like how he was
28:17
looking to the sky coming off the off the field, you know, on
28:18
the fourth and one or fourth and two, And it was like two different
28:22
situations where I looked at I was like, Okay, I'll keep that in
28:25
the back of my mind because you already know. I got to think for
28:26
McDermott and like, I don't want you to shrink. You know, in
28:29
big moments, I know that it's it's win or go home. I know
28:30
that it's a situation where your backs are against the wall, but I want
28:33
to make sure that you understand the moment as well and go seize it.
28:37
Don't wait for your opportunity, Go take your opportunity. And I'm really looking
28:41
forward to see what the Bills do tonight because I think that they could show
28:42
up. I know that they're capable of it. And that's if one thing
28:45
that this season has taught me personally as a Bills fan is that I know
28:49
that this team currently constructed can can win any any game. I really believe
28:53
that against the Niners, against the Ravens, what are the case may be.
28:56
But I also know that this team can they can fuck up and lose
29:00
to anybody as well. So that's the only part that makes me nervous because
29:03
of the fact that I don't want them to look at the injuries that Miami
29:06
has dt and think that this is something where they could take their foot off
29:08
the gas a little bit. Everything down, all gas, no breaks tonight.
29:11
For sure. I don't want any type of I don't want to leave
29:15
anything to chance. How about that. That's I think that the best way
29:18
that I can describe it. I don't want to leave anything to chance.
29:19
I want to make sure that we understand the moment and make sure that we
29:22
go after it. Yeah, I mean, you have to look at this
29:26
as you're old. You know, you're owed something with this team, like,
29:30
they shouldn't have to be in the situation, right, They shouldn't have
29:33
to be the situation, right. So let's go just get ourselves clean.
29:36
Let's go get ourselves clean. We got our lifeline. It's week eighteen at
29:41
eight thirty. That's your lifeline, Get on the lifeline, get back on
29:44
the boat, and let's ride it to the super Bowl. But you got
29:45
to jump on that lifeline because they were in the water. Rob we were
29:48
deep. We were at six and six. Man, at six and six,
29:52
I was still treading my feet. But yeah, I wasn't. I
29:56
wasn't far from just crossing the arms going. That's all of us. As
30:00
much as we try, you ain't lying, man. Yeah, you know
30:03
the other drama and bs we had to deal with through all that. That
30:07
was. That was some ship. But it's do or die. Chip on
30:11
your shoulder, the lifelines out the lifelines eight thirty Sunday Night, Week eight
30:14
