  Speaker 5: when I was first just getting my confidence and figuring
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: out if I really wanted to do it. And I
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: knew I wanted to do it, but I needed just
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: that little less nudge and he got me over the edge.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: And one of his peoples just met him the other night.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: It was real cool went on. I went on the

• 5:13
  Speaker 2: so let's get into it.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I'm really down. I appreciate both of your times.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: Tonight and DTS feels the same way. You know, it's
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: funny DT, because we kind of touched on it briefly
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: last week, but it was funny just listening to w
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: g R this week. I have heard, and this is
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: exact reason why I named the episode of the way
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: that I did, was that I've heard so many different
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: what I would call coping mechanisms.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Just I don't care if they win.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: I heard it's better if we lose because then it's
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: hard to beat a team twice, so we'll beat them
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: in the playoffs, which makes no fucking sense to me.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: And I understand that, you know, the actual moniker that
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: it's harder to beat a team twice, but we're not
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: division opponents, so I just don't agree with it. I've
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: heard I don't care about it to the fact that
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: go ahead, and just you might as well just not
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: show anything and just run into vanilla offense and don't
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: do any type of trying to win the game because
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: it just doesn't matter.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: I really just want to shoot all that shit into
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: the sun. DT.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna give you first word because I've been going
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: crazy this week with all of the coping I've been
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: hearing it from Bill's mafia. I really think that it's
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: coked for something else. And I'll get into it later.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: In the show. How are you feeling this week? DT?
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Because this shit has been crazy to listen to. That's
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: for me.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Well, Rob, I'll tell you what. When the season tickets
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: came out and this schedule came out, kind of the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: first one of the first thoughts I had was not
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: so much like word for word of what you just
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: said of, but like for just straight season ticket purposes,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: this game, I don't want any part of it.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: We were there at the playoff game, right next to
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: each other last year, walked out of that sat in
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the infinity in the parking lot in dead silence for
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: an hour after that game, and you know, so I
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: just not that I say it doesn't matter I want
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: to lose, or anything like that, but I just thought,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: straight up, this is a game where it's going to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: get a lot of hype.
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: That I don't need to be at, right, And so.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: That was kind of my my vibe going going into it,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: going through the summer. Then we get and this game
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: actually does have implications. I mean, you're an idiot if
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: you don't. If you don't agree, this is straight up
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: one seed territory. If we don't win this game, we
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: don't have the one seed. It's basically off the table, guaranteed.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: So this is something we have fought for since we've
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: had one seven under center. This is literally all we've
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: been talking about. We need the one seed. We got
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to have that home playoff game. We gotta do that,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: gotta do that. Well, here we are a chance to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: get a leg up on it. Well not a leg up,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: but like closer because that would be their first loss.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: But so I I don't, you know, I've kind of
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: changed my tune, Like now I'm pumped up, but this
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: is my normal week, right Friday kind of I'm chill
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: all week and then Friday I'm like, okay, like out
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: of work, it's time. It's time for one to seven
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and the boys in two days. Let's get mentally ready
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: for that. So I'm I'm there, but I also think
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I'm a little more ump up just because it is
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs and ready to go. So I don't agree
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: with all this don't.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Matter bullshit, Sterling.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, mister Farrel, I I one of the reasons
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: why I connected with you the other night was because
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: I had I mean, I just I just don't I
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: don't get the logic when I hear it. And because
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: of that, that's that led me to you know the
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: name of the episode of the way that I did.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: I think a lot of people are coping. How do
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: you feel about this game? Is this a big game?
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: Am I tripping?
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, keep it real.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: You have the floor, as I guessed tonight, and we
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: are so happy to have you. And I'm not looking
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: for an echo chamber tonight. But tell me how you feel.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: Is this is a big game?
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Wars this just? This is nothing?
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is the biggest game in the regular season.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: You know, we talked on chop Up the other night.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: It's like you want to see I want to see
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the Bills win this game because of Sean McDermot, not
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen. Like I know what Josh is gonna bring
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: to the table, Like we know he's gonna be He's
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: gonna do his thing. He always plays well against the Chiefs,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: but when the loser draw, I want to see how
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Sean McDermott performs in high pressure situations. Did he learn
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: anything from from from last game? We're talking, we're still
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: fresh off the fake punt? Well, I mean, and some
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: of the decisions that he made. I mean, the problems
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: with you know, his habit, with the zero blitzes and
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: stuff like that, not maybe not having a better answer
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: for Travis Kelsey, which that's a league problem. And you
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: didn't have your linebackers. There's so many injuries on defense,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: but still you gotta have a better answer. And uh,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: it just shows you when there's you know, when there's
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: cracks in the pipes, they burst right, And that's why
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: you see decisions like the fake punt to DeMar Hamlin
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: of all people, that's because he was under so I
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: felt like he was under so much pressure he just
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: didn't know what the hell to do. So I want
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: to see how well Sean performs in this game. Bobby
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Babbitt's being a young defensive coordinator. He you know, now
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: it's his turn to get fresh eyes on the situation.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm sure you know as a as an understudy.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: You know, he looks at Sean and goes, man, I
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: would have done this in this situation. Well, now it's
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: your turn. So the culmination of those two, what's Amari
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Cooper gonna look like coming back in? So yeah, man,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I got a lot of questions come in this game.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I do think it's a game they can win. But
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: to answer your question, this is the biggest game of
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: the season.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: It's funny, Scott, because not only did I have people
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: on w G hard and if you're a listener like myself,
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: you already heard some of the same bullshit that I did.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: And you know, not only is it not a big game,
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: I've even heard people posit, let's go.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Ahead and lose this game.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: Not not trash the game, but let's it doesn't matter
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: if we lose this game because of the fact that
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: it's actually better to lose in some Jedi mind trick
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: that I just I don't know. Maybe it's maybe I'm
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: because I'm a competitor. I was heavy in sports as
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: a kid. I don't I don't. I just can't buy that.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: If I beat you once, I want to beat you again.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: I don't I don't get it.
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: I got two words for that. Losing sucks.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: I don't like losing. I want to beat the Chiefs
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: because right now, the Chiefs are the best, and you
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: don't get to be the best until you beat the best,
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: that's right. And we're going to be a whole different
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: team when we see them again in the playoffs. So
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: you know this whole thing about don't show your cards
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: and all that sort of thing.
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: You got to win.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: What's in frontia? I want the one seed for the
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: buy our last couple of seasons. Man, we've been brutalized
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: by injuries and every team is so there's no excuses there,
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: but they're real.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: We we pull a dude off the couch to cover
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: Travis Kelsey and wonder why that doesn't end well? Right
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: for the playoff game last year? And God bless aj
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Klein for saying, yeah.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Hey man, job man, yeah.
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: I was stertling.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: I want to see coach McDermott improve his his game
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: in the moment management. You know, Kansas City has really
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: gotten good at situational football.
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: The Bills.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: I feel like we improve because of our talent level.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: I like the way Joe Brady has not established an
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: identity for our offense. And I don't think that's a problem.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: I think that's awesome because you just don't know who's
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: going to do what week to week, which tells me
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: that he game plans for the game and the situation.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: And to me, that's how Kansas City pulls off some
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: of the ridiculousness and and is really you know, really
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: got a good shot at a third straight super Bowl,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: which has never happened. So yeah, it's a big game
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: because I want that one seed for the buye. You know,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: we've proven two years in a row that home in
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: the playoffs. Don't still believe in it, but we didn't deliver.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: You know, I want to see coach mc puremant improve.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: I have faith that he will, because the man's not
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: an idiot. But you know how I love that pipes
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: burst analogy because you know, you don't play up to
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: the pressure. Pressure reveals your level of preparation and skill,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: you know, and your character. And he's a student, he's
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: a developer of talent.
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: You look at the the the.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: What he's squeezing out of the roster we have This year,
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: we were supposed to be all transitional. This is Miami's
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: year in the division. Let's have a look at the records. Now, Yeah,
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: two got hurt and we had to, you know, calling
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: the reinforcement to make that win happen.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Go on to the super Bowl the same ship.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but here we are best start since nineteen
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: eighty three with an eight and two record, And I
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: don't want to hear about, well, you haven't beat this
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: and you haven't beat yet. Yeah, the Ravens beat the
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Brakes office. You're going to have those games.
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: It's OK.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: But I think we're going to be just fine in
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: the playoffs and anytime we get a crack at Kansas City,
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: I want to beat them.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: And I don't want Mahomes undefeated at the Ralph. I
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: need that to stop before we move out of this building.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: We need to take him down, just because I'm a
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: weird stat NERD Like, yeah.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: It's funny that you said that, because DT, you remember
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: how you and I were acting last year before the
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: playoff game, and how you know that's all we wanted it,
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: and we were joking that we hope that somebody called
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: the hotel the night before and woke his ass up
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: at fall four fifty three in the morning and something
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: crazy like that is somebody banging on the doors. But
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: it's funny because you know, we got him on the road,
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: and we talked about it last week dtwo. We got him,
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: we got everything that we wanted, and it still didn't
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: matter in the end. And I think that again why
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: I name the episode of the way that I did.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: I think that that's what's part of feeding into some
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: of the rhetoric and their narratives that you're hearing this week,
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: is because of the fact that I think that the
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: majority of Bill's Mafia, because of thirteen Seconds, because of
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: the different interactions that we've had with them throughout the games,
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: is that they're just trying to guard themselves DT from
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: being disappointed. You know, if we lose and it turns
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: up it's almost eight o'clock on on Sunday night and
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: right before the Sunday night game, and and the Bills lost,
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: you know, lost a hard fought game, it's gonna feel shitty.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: And I think that people are.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: Trying to guard against that, like, Okay, well we're still
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: in the you know, the driver's seat for the division.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: We're still have everything in front of it, which will
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: all be true. But to Scott's point.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: I want that one seed because it's the only thing on.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: The Bengo card that hasn't been achieved, and playing those
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: extra games really cost us last year.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: DT.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: Specifically, we're playing that Pittsburgh game and then we're coming
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: and banged up with the linebackers DT. I think that
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: people are guarding against being disappointed, and I think that
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: that's really driving a lot of this narrative, to be honest, man.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: That's that's the next point.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, we keep it foking here at Nichol City Crew.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Going off what you guys were saying, and then Rob
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: how you started this, Like is this a coping thing? Like, yeah,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: this is we talk about this time and time out
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: on Nickel City Crew. The scars of the drought are real, right,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: this is all of us. We the motive some of
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the conversation this week saying this game like it's just
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: getting old, like it's not a big game because we
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: see it so much. And I don't agree with that
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: at all, because I think it's opposite. We if it's
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: getting old to you, you're not You aren't used to
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: it enough. We just got out and not being in
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the playoffs for seventeen years, you know, you don't know
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: how to handle a big game, like right, we still don't.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Like that's what why this week was so weird and everything.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: But you know, I think that the drought has real scars.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: It really does. And we're sitting here, you know, seven
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: years later and still thinking like, ah, well, we're still
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: not the best team, so this one doesn't matter or
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: we can't. We can't it's tough to beat them twice
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: and all this other I think. So it's like we're
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: not that good. This isn't that big a game? One seven?
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Isn't that guy? Those type of things.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's funny, sternly because when I listened to some
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: of that rhetoric, it's like, you know, like at the
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: fetus mentality is almost what it is. And I think
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: that DT could be onto something when it comes about scars.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: I mean thirteen seconds. You know, hell, even after the
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: drought and after Josh got here, thirteen seconds, I still
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: talk about it and get out on Twitter all the
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: time because people talk about we'll just stop talking about
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: that shit. I'm like everybody has lub and every Washington man. Yeah,
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: and then Brandon Bean even spoke to it a little
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: bit throughout the offseason when he talked about the changing
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: of the guard and after stuff was gone and different
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: things like that, and he was talking about how he
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: didn't want that kind of energy even in the locker
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: room around the team anymore, because of the fact that
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: he wanted to bring in new blood that has never
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: even experienced thirteen seconds. And I think that there's there's
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: something underlining to that. Even though the fact that they
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: are eight and two for the first time since ninety three,
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: and they are in a situation that none of us
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: even probably thought that they would be in. I still
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: think that there's some type of safeguarding that that Bills
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: Mafia is doing, Sterling, because to me, not putting in
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: all of your eggs in this basket to try to
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: get the one seat is almost ludicrous to me. Not
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: to say that you run Josh, you know, fifteen times
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: or something like that.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Onsinne runs.
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: But I'm just talking about emptying the chamber to go
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: get it because we don't.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: You know, there's a lot of games left, that's all.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, there is a lot of games. You know.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: The number one seed, I mean yeah, you're right, Like
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: it's important. I just don't know if it's in within reach.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: The Chiefs have a schedule that's very favorable moving forward. Okay,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: but you gotta look at it like this. This is
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: a this is an angle. I don't think you've heard
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: this week, And tell him if you have, I'll shut up.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: But this is the first time that Josh Allen has
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: been the epicenter of this team. Like he is the
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: guy like you you know, in years past we had
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: pour your hide right like the leaders in the locker room.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Josh was a young guy. Now you saw a little
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: bit of this in the Baltimore game, just how Josh approached
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: that game. You know, it was probably a little too much.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: It was a little bit outmatched, you know, and the
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: game just didn't start off well. But like you've seen
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen take hold of this team, take hold of
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: this offense to another level. So you look at that
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: and you bring him in and they're coming here, buddy,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: they are, they bringing their asses right on up here
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: to Buffalo, you know what I'm saying. Like, So I
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: look at this, This whole season for me has been
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Can Josh Allen learn to play point guard. Yeah, and
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: if he can learn to play point guard, he can
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: get these guys over the hump. You got young guys
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: in this room that that haven't experienced even last Year's
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: what happened last year? Or thirteen seconds?
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Like I remember in the drought, you know we've talked
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: about like you know, uh, the drought was just such
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: a heavy weight on all of us. And I don't
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: even live in Buffalo, y'all know that. Yeah, But like
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: you have some players come in and they go, yeah, like,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, I get it, but like I wasn't I'm
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: years old, I.
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: Wasn't here that.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: It's the same way with this is a this is
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: a new team. This is a new nucleus a player.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: So you don't have those wounds like Scott you were
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: talking about, those wounds aren't there. This is a Josh
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: as much as this is Josh Allen like getting these
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: guys ready to play, it's a Sean McDermott, Like, what
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: can what have you done to kind of exhale the demons?
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Wow? What I'm saying exercise?
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, it's just it's just, uh, it's football. And
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: you know what we learned this with Brady and Manning,
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: You're not gonna be able to keep Greatness down for long.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: You're not gonna be able to just knock out the
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Bills every single year in the playoffs when when Josh
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Allen these boys as shown they can beat you. Now,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: like Scott where you were saying, injuries plays a definitely
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: point in this game, you know what I'm saying. So
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I just think, man, come out here, play your game,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: get these guys out of here, and then let's get
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: to the by and get healthy. Baby.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Listen.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: It's interesting, you know because Scott when he talks about that,
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: you know, just like I'm in I am, I do
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: have that same type of energy I do have, Like,
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: let's just let the chips fall, let this game play.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: I think that I know that the thing that's that's
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: grinding my gears is the fact that it's just that
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: fatalistic mentality and approach pre game that is bothering me.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: And I know that this.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: I'm getting ready to get a couple of racks of ribs.
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna do one South my oldest king, and then
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna do you know this a traditional barbecue for
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: the other one, Like I'm doing ribs because we got
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: Kansas City like I'm down, like I'm amped up for it,
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: And if I was going to the game, I would
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: be right there in the early in the morning like
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: I always am with DT. So I'm in a situation,
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: Scott where I don't I don't fear Mahomes the same
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: way that I do. And and you know what is it?
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: Eight out of their nine wins are by one score.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: And I know the NFL is a close league, but Scott,
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: I don't think that this is some type of team
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: that we're supposed to fear. That defense is great. You
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: spoke about it last week or last week's episode, but
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: I'm not the boogeyman has been dead for me. I
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: mean the boogeyman of actually Patrick Mahomes. Obviously, he's talented,
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: two straight Super Bowls, three super bowl overall.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: I can't take it anything away from his talent.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: But my quarterback is stack up at your quarterback, and
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: there's not three teams that can say that.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: One hundred percent, you know, on the defense side, Lest
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: you know, just to talk about some stats, Buffalo's actually
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: allowing pewer points per game than Kansas City. And you know,
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: I was listening to Bruce, and he said something that
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: Bruce Noelan made sense to me. You know, I'm an
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: emotional guy and I'm a I'm an interesting follow during
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: the game on Twitter. Man, sometimes I'll lose my shit bad,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: you know, And then I got to come out and
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: be like, Okay, that was ugly. We're good, everything's fine,
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: everything's fine.
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: But we got this.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: Ben, don't break approach to defense. You know, we may
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: give up some yards up the middle. I mean, yeah, sure,
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: for sure.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: The dude from the Colts, Jonathan Taylor gashed us fifty
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: nine yards. Oh our run defense sucks. We win that
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: game by ten points, not a problem.
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah. So, and I'm with you.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen is toe to toe with Patrick Mahomes, and
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: I've gotten to the point, you know, Mahomes kind of
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: used to kind of piss me off. Now I really
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: respect him, sure, because I mean he can trash talk,
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: you know, with the best stuff. Not quite as good
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: as seventeen, but you know, he likes to run his
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: mouth and all that.
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: And then then he left a bad taste with the
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: whole officiating.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: Thing last year after the playoff game or after the
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: regular season game. You know, But I respect those guys.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: And when a guy like Chris Jones. I'm sure you
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: guys all saw his clip this week about coming to Buffalo.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: You know, he knows we got to play the fans.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: You know, we got to come up and play the fans.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: And then he throws a two promos to bar Bill
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: for wings. I love that man. Love that guy.
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: Hate that guy.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: I love that guy right. Respect, but we can go
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: toe to toe. I don't fear the Chiefs at all.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: I've seen us beat them. I think, you know, had
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: we been a little healthier, we might have had a
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: different outcome last year in the playoffs. My only concern
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: is will the coaching, you know, let us down, because
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen's never let us down against the Chiefs. You know,
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: his his bad game was against the Bengals at home
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: in the playoffs. He had a rough day that day
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: and against the Texans otherwise he's been lights out in
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: the biggest moments. Thirteen seconds was a thing because.
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: Of Josh Allen. Yeah, you know this.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: That hole that whole year quarterback lost the game or
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: you know, wins our quarterback stat man, I can't get
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: with that. Just talk about fire and stuff into the Sun.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: So I'm I just want to beat those guys every
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: chance we get. And this isn't my super Bowl because
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: we got to buy a week and then we got
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: to run the NFC gauntlet like big time.
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and we'll be fine. We'll be fine. There's way
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: more upside doubts.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: Glad you just said that, because the last thing d
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: before we transition that I heard that, like for the
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: name like the nick Wrights and all the trolls, is that, Oh, well,
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: Bill's monfi, this is your super Bowl because you're not
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: going to do in the playoffs.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Where is it mandated? Again? This that comes back to
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: that beating a team twice thing?
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: Where is it mandated dt that because we beat them
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: in the regular season, we are not allowed to beat
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: them in the postseason. Now, it has happened that way
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: these last three years, and excuse me, these last three occasions,
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: but that's not I just don't think that the past
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: means that the future is going to be this way
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: because the past was that way. And I think that
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: that's lazy to me personally, and you don't want to
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: analyze the matchup at hand, And I think that we've
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: got a vulnerable Chiefs team that has played everybody close
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: to the best and had not be for some type
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: of mental laps.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on with there's special teams.
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: They should have lost right after the Bills won last week,
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: literally minutes after the Bills won. They should have lost them,
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: and we should be battling for the one seed to
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: blow on Sunday.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Damned if you do, damned if you don't. If you
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: win this game, it's, oh, well, you do it, like
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: you just said, you do it every year. It doesn't
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: matter in the playoffs. If you lose this game, oh
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: you're not that good anyway. You know, Mahomes is the
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: best in the league. But then to that, I'd say, okay,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the bye week. You think San Francisco is coming in
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: the week after sitting down in their first team meeting
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: on Monday, Tuesday, whatever, And I think it's saying, Josh Allen,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: isn't that good?
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: You know? So that's that's.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: What I'm trying to get over. Like this, it does
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: mean something because it, yes, at the end of the day,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. We'll see you never know, maybe the the
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: one seed swings into a Super Bowl berth that you
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have had and whatever, But does it actually matter.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Probability is not. You know what it's gonna end, the
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: end result of the season, what this game really does.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: But there's a lot of other things that we're talking
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: about tonight that go into it. You know, legacies. Don't
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: ask Mike Tyson about legacy, by the way, but.
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: Got legacies.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: You got McDermott, you got Josh Allen, Josh Allen. It
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: being his first game, like you said in the Epicenter,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: you know, Australia in the of like this is his
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: rookie year of being the Epicenter quarterback if you will.
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: Right, So it's really his team, yeah, yes, So if.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: He grows from when we saw him as an actual
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: rookie to what he you know, to what he turned
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: into to now having his this is his actual team.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: This is kind of his first year of that. You know,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: hopefully we see growth and maybe this is the first
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: step going in and beating the Brakes off your biggest rival.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Who else would you rather beat as a as as
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: a one seven, as a Bills fan, as anybody, who
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: else would you rather beat in the NFL than the Chiefs.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: Look at this impact on guys like Mac Collins and
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: Kean Coleman, which you know he had the ear of
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: the GM on those guys.
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: Mac Collins is turning into a dude.
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: He's been making, he's been making, He's making.
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: It's going to be my out of control tape right there.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: And look at Keon He's he's all right for a
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: rookie yet, but I'm starting to see he ain't him yet,
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: but he's showing some duds.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Ye.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: But I feel like you're starting to see exactly what
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: Sterling and dump Truck are talking about as you're starting
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: to see this turn into Josh Allen's football team on offense.
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: And I'm here for it, man, I love it.
• 26:04

  Speaker 3: H Sterling.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: As we transition tonight, how do the Buffalo Bills beat
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday? Since everybody I've been
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: listening to mostly it has been telling me that this
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: just get out of here, don't even worry about that.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: I might as well just take a fucking nap, And
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: I mean I'll cancel the party no ribs, no, none
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: of that shit. I'll just I'll just go to sleep.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: But if I were to watch the game, what would
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: I see? If the Buffalo Bills were to win.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: You gotta get James Cook involved, like he needs to
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: be your your go to person and not just on
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: the ground, but we saw him get loose last year
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: through the air. You know, Kansas City, they got a
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: great defense, it's a vanta defense. You know, they're probably
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: top three in the league, sure, but they're linebackers. They're
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: not great coverage linebackers. So there's an opportunity for those
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: guys to be exploited. So you know, without Dalton Kincaid, right,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: they're gonna try to They're gonna try to do with Baltimore.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: They're gonna try to take the middle of the field away. Now,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Mark Cooper's gonna help on the outside, so they're gonna
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: be limited to an extent. But you know they got
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: McDuffie that's probably gonna trail uh you know Cooper, yeah, right,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: because he plays more on the outside than.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: He does he does.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: So now, if you can get James Cook is a catalyst.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: If you can get him going early, it's gonna open
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: up Shakir. Watch Dawson Knox get loose. You know he's
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: always kind of gotten loose against the Chiefs, right, And
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: then you know, Kansas City's run defense is pretty good there.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: I think they're like fifth in the league and an
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: opponent of run percent is on first down, so like
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: they do a really good job of honing in on
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: those early downs. Yeah, but it could be a tendency breaker.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: This week, you know, you should see some play action
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: pass and so forth. So I think James Cook you
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: gotta get him going. Uh, a really good test to
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: see what the interior of our offensive line is gonna
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: look like versus the Chiefs and Chris Jones. And on
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: the defensive line, I'm not worried too worried about George
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: carl offtis the Chiefs doesn't really they don't really have
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: a pass rush that you that you have to be
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: worried about. The thing is you're gonna have to be
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: worried about the simulated pressures because you know, Spags, he
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: likes to he's he's the king at simulated pressures and
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: who's coming. So you know, this is just a good,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: like overall litanus test for where the offense is as
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: a whole for Joe Brady, like this is a man,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: this is gonna be such a good game. So uh yeah,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: get get get cooked going. Let's let's see some let's
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: see some Josh Allen scrambles and just have a fucking
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: time man, just going there and playing. Don't be scared
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: of these boys. You can beat these boys.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: I love it. I love it. DT.
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: How do the Bills win on Sunday? Because what what
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: were the recipe? What's the ingredients for win?
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Some things we've talked about a few times this year,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: answering the bell and who's stepping up on this team
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: other than one seven on the offensive side of the ball.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Who's stepping up to make themselves or make it as
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: a unit you know one and have an identity. And
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: the offensive you know, the battle of the trenches at
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the place. I've been very critical on the places. Obviously,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: your important job is to protect the goods, protect going
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: seven at all costs. And this line has grown and
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: this is probably the best line you know, we've seen
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Josh in his career. This line has come and actually
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: won games for us this season. That Jets game, this
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: offensive line moved people. They were assertive. They opened things
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: up and they protected Josh. That will then obviously in return,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I mean not rocket science. No, Then James Cook gets going,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: and then you know, and then Ray Davis or whoever's
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: running the ball back there with those type of holes,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: with that type of movement, setting the tone, you know,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: in the trenches. It's not defensively, I think we're fine.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think they have the weapons. They're gonna get theirs,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: but they don't have the weapons. Are going to put
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: forty to fifty on us, even you know, probably not
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: even thirty thirty plus is questionable. So we go out
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: there offensively and are able to open up that line
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: and move people. Take it personally, Spencer Dion, this is
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: personal now road grade open lanes, and that's that's what
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: I think is going to be the key. And then
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: at up early then to get James Cook going to
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: keep on Seve uncomfortable somewhere where he's been kind of
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: under the hood all year.
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: Oh, I like it. I like it, Scott. When Patrick
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: Mahomes takes his lucky ass on the field from the
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: visitor sideline and he comes up for his first drive
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: for the rest of the game, what scares you most
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: about about that team and about that office is a
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: d hop and the presence of him. We know the
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: Pacheco's obviously been hurt. I heard some stats that you
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: know Kareem Hunt. He's back for his second stint, but
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: he's not really doing much to run game, has not
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: really been that effective. What scares you most when the
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: Chiefs offense goes on the field and don't say fucking refs,
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: because if I hear one more person make that joke
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: this week and we got to fight the refs that
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: I saw a shirt even its buffalo the rest this week,
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: I get it.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: I do not.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: If I thought that the NFL was scripted, it sounds
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: like hogwats, then I wouldn't even be on doing this
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: podcast because it wouldn't be It would be no different
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: than WWF. So if it's not that, what scares you
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: the most about.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: I think our defensive philosophy keeping things in front of
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: you is super, super import Or with Patrick Mahomes because
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: he's most dangerous off script. I mean, he can execute
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: anything in the offense, makes all the FROs reads defenses.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: It's when you got him and then you don't. Yeah,
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: and that's where Kelsey comes alive. So we got to
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: we got to cover eighty seven, and we got to
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: keep Mahomes reasonable. I love what DT said. They're gonna
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: get theirs on offense. They're gonna score twenty maybe twenty three,
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: twenty four. But their offense doesn't concern me. If we
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: play the type of defense I think we can play.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: They don't have any downfield, just absolute threats that are
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: gonna light us up. I know Xavier Worthy runs really fast.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: We'll be We'll be okay, we got we got good corners. Man,
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: we chuck him off the line. Douglas is very physical.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: We'll be We'll be fine. They'll get their points, still score.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: My biggest concern I'm kind of with Sterling, and I
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: want to take it a step further.
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: Get get to Cook involved passing the ball. I want
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: to see the ball come out of Josh's hand fast.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: I think that's the way you beat Spags when he's
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: got these exotic look and you're never quite sure where
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: the pressure's coming from. We need to call plays to
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: get the ball out of the quarterback's hand, get that
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: off the table and into a playmaker's hands. And that's
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: why I think Shakir Knox, Ray Davis, All and Cook
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: all going to be important. I just don't want to
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: see us run the ball for the sake of sticking
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: to the run philosophy. Like I love to have a
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: good run game when you need it, and this ain't
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: that game, I don't think. I think we got to
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: be creative, inventive on offense and get the ball out
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: of Josh's hands. I love that we're going to probably
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: see Amari Cooper because you have to account for that
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: guy soft pasted or not. You have got to account
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: for eighteen period And that opens up Shakir, That's going
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: to open up Hollins, That's going to open up backs
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: out of the backfield. And wouldn't shock me to see
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: Dawson Knox catch four or five passes in a touchdown
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: or two. So get the ball out quick is probably
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: my biggest thing against this defense.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: So let me ask some to that real quick. So
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs have the number one third down percentage offense
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: in the league. Yeah, so they they're effective. So here's
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: the thing. What they do on first and second down.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: They're looking at screen or they're running Kareem Hunt. Who
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: you know who's averaging like three point two yards of carry.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Now people will scoff at that and say, well, fuck,
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: like that's not that's nothing, but it actually is because
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: when you get to third down and this third and four,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: third and five, that opens up everything from Mahomes and Kelsey. Right,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: So I think the Bills really need to do a
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: really good job of honing in on first and second down,
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: on those obvious run situations. Okay, and it comes it
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: comes up front. You know, you got to be stout
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: up front, get them in third and longs and stuff
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: like that. Then you can pin your ears back. That's
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: where von Miller comes into place, so he's more effective.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Then you know, you have a little bit more time
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: with these linebackers, kind of figure out where Kelsey is
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: in the spacing. Maybe you can roll Demorrow Hamlin down
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: or Taylor rat preferably the kind of mirror Kelsey and
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: what he's doing, and then make DeAndre Hopkins went on
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: the outside by himself. But again, you have a two
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: very physical corners, so you know if they try to
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: roll him and move him to the other side, he
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: should not have issues. So make him think twice, right,
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Make make Patrick Mahomes, we saw what happened in Kansas
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: City a year ago where Tarren Johnson came over with
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: that big interception because mahomes about that. You know, he
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: didn't like what he saw, right sure, and that's because
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: they were doing their damn job in first and second down.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: And that's what it's gonna come down to in this game.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: So if you if the Chiefs are third and four,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: it's over. Like they're gonna keep moving and jumping the
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: ball down the field and they're gonna kill the clock
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: and then here we go. You gotta be efficient on
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: this game. You have to be paying attention to your
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: rush lanes as a defensive end. So yeah, man, discipline
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: is gonna be huge in this one.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: DT.
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: It's funny that Stirling and Scott spoke to that because
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: the one thing that I have been thinking about, and
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: this is just this week again, I'm not you know,
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: I'm not as dream as some of the listeners that
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: I heard on w g R, But one of the
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: things that I, you know, was worried about, DT, was
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: because of the fact that you and I experienced together.
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: I was gonna was wondering, what what is going to
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: be different from what we saw together?
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Because we again we came together.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: We had a great you know plan, and the plan
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: you know, seemed like it was you know, formulated, and
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: you know, I personally didn't like the take the air
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: out of the ball plan that you know that they
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: employed last year, but that was the decision of the offense.
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: What is going to look different on Sunday, DT, because
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: I know it's a different team, same play caller.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: It did not work. Again, I was never a.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: Fan of it, but I understood, Okay, we'll keep the
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: great offense off the field. We'll take the you know,
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: the air out of the ball, so to speak. But
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: the only problem that I had with that is that
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: when you take the air out of the ball, you're
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: also limiting your opportunities as well to score a touchdown,
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: so that that is counterintuitive to me. Yes, the game
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: came down to three points and you and I were
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: sitting next to each other, but it really wasn't even
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: that close that we were a Jordan Poyer force fumbled
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: away from being a fucking blowout because of you know,
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: the dumb calls. I don't know what's gonna look different DT.
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: What I expect to look different because last years playoff game.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: It just was.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: It was what they just described. It was death by thousand.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: The goal each week to score more points than the
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: other team. Obviously, okay to manor.
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: Is more score more, then you win somebody against somebody
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: that in Mahomes that we know it's just like third down,
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: it's like he's gonna get it, like you know he's
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: gonna get it, so you have to go get more.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: So I yeah, I hate that approach. You're kind of
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: slowing it down and controlling the clock, because that was
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: a perfect what was it in the playoff game? It
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: was like thirty seven minutes to twenty two something like that.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: You know, I almost doubled them up in possession and
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: then really, if it wasn't for the fumble on the
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: goal line, we could have lost by thirteen, you know,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: so like that's a whole different Uh. Then it's a
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: whole different game. It's not even that close, and you
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: double them up in possession and lose by double digits
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: and that just looks really bad. So I agree, you
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: got to go get yours more. You gotta score more points,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: You got to get more third down conversions because you
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: know Mahomes is gonna get his and what better way
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: to give Josh Allen confidence. It's Josh Allen when he
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: does struggle. The very rare times he does now is
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: when he has to force it and when it is
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: getting a little uncomfortable. When he's his best is obvious.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: When he's out, probably the same with it, but he
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: just in a better, better rhythm. He doesn't miss the
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: throws he misses when he's a little frantic, like everything is.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: When he's on, he's perfect. And when we've seen perfect,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: you know it's putting up. It's putting up forty points,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: no problem. So that's what we got to get more.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Why would we slow something down that we know is
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: almost unstoppable on the homes, on third down or whatever
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: you want to put it. And we now, okay, we
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: have to go get more of those obviously, so get
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: after it.
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see now as we begin
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: to wrap up tonight before we do the Tailgate report. Uh,
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: you know, it's it's funny because when I heard all
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: the rhetoric and then I go through the week and
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: then you know, everybody finishes their conversations with you know, well,
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: you know what would you want?
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: You know, will you be.
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: Mad if they win, you know, everybody's oh no, no,
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: you know, obviously I'd love to win.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: I'd love to win.
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: So I think that, you know, the reason I named
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: the episode the way that it did was that I think, like,
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: deep down, we all want to see the Bills be successful.
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: We all want to see Patrick Mahomes go down. I
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: think that it's just it's that that gnawing something that's
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: at the back of our bills, Mafi your brains, that
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: is making us almost again just come to a point
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: where we want to make some type of excuses just
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: in case shit goes awry. I look for the team
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: on Sunday to play loose. I hope that they do.
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: Sterling brings up something that I'm purposely dodging it because
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: of the fact that I don't want to make this
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: a McDermott show. But you know, little jokes, some running
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: joke hero on nicholsony crew Sterling that you know I'm
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: a McDermott, like I don't, I don't fuck with him,
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: and after thirteen seconds like I wanted his his you know,
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: his badge to the security to the facility, like I
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: don't fuck with you anymore.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: I really don't know why you keep showing up here
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: to work.
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: And because of that, I you brought up something interest
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: because I have always positive always wondered like did he
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: learn from thirteen seconds and in all the different type
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: of situations, and then every time he messes up again,
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: I'm like, man, you you really didn't. You know the
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: game against Denver, you keep talking about zero Blitzer is
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: and I'm like, what the fuck are we doing?
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: And then you know the Philly game and he doesn't.
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: He wants to, you know, he wants to kick a
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: field goal and try to go into overtime when we
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: had out played Philly and earn that win in the rain,
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: just different things. I think he kneels on the ball
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: or something like that, like this weird shit that he
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: does that bothers me and rubs me the wrong way. So,
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: you know, you bringing up McDermott definitely strikes a certain
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: type of nerve for me. But interesting that you said that,
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: because I don't know if he's grown to be honest,
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: I don't, I don't. I don't have any confidence. And
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: even Scott said it last week on the show that
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: he's waiting for the coaching staff to show that they're
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: ready to be mature in tight situations.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: I don't have any confidence in a tight situation.
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: And whether this game is quote unquote big enough for
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: him or not, or us to evaluate him, I'm gonna
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: be watching him like I do every week because I
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: just haven't seen much evidence of him learning.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: And that's all the way up to this year as well.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this this has been a different year.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: I mean last year he was calling the defense, you know,
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: trying to do a lot of stuff, and now you know,
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: you even having a press conference saying that, you know,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Bobby Babbage has a better defensive mind than him, right words,
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: So you know, maybe that's what the team needs, like
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: you know, step aside a little bit, give some pointers,
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: like he is a good defensive coordinator, like seany can
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: call some defense, right But you know, it's like when
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: you have all this other stuff going on, you had
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: digs in the locker room and all this stuff is
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: just annoying and ship one thing I will give McDermott
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: this year is that you know, now the execution was poor,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: but the decision to let Josh Shallam these boys take
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: the offense at the end, it came back to bite us.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: But the fact that he's finally said, you know what, Josh,
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: you go win us this game. Now, it didn't happen
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: the way it needed to happen. Like you're seeing more
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: of a decision maker than you are seeing, you know,
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: a defensive coordinator mindset. So hopefully maybe some of those
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: things that we see will manifest itself from the playoffs. Now,
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: I will say this about Bobby Babbage. Okay, bruh, he's
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: got to start putting heat on guys early in games.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: He waits till the second half and needs Wait, I
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: don't know if that's a McDermott in him talking and
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: kind of figuring it out at halftime, but that shit's
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: gotta stop. They need to come out like they do
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: in the second half of these games. And I'm not
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: saying you blitz mahomes, but you blitz mahomes send for
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: But it doesn't have to be those four on the
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: defensive line, send Karen, send to Bernard. You gotta mix
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: it up a little bit, you know, use those exotic
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: zone cover shells and stuff like that to maybe, you know,
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: have a guy pop up under Kelsey and a guy
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: come over Kelsey or whatever. Because I mean the Hawk,
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: You're gonna take care of that. So you just have
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: to call a game that you throw all that shit
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: out there, nothing left, even if you're doing the same
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: shit in the playoffs, like throw that shit out there,
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: like I'm ready to fuck y'all up, Like I'm tired
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: of this shit, you know what I'm saying. And they
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: have to have that mindset, and if you come out,
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: they're all scared.
• 43:10
  Speaker 7: Oh my god, I don't want to make a mistake.
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: That's what they keep positing, is that they keep trying
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: to say that they're waiting to see what they're going
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: to do and then they make adjustment. And that's also
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: on offense, Scott as we wrap up tonight, because on offense.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: They say they're doing the same shit.
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: And I don't know, DT and I have asked, how
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: many more slow starts can you have before it bites
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: you in the ass?
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 43:30
  Speaker 7: I don't think that's going to fly in the playoffs.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: Definitely, you can't.
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: You can't get down by ten, thirteen, fourteen points in
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: a playoff game and expect to be able to come
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: back in the second half.
• 43:40
  Speaker 7: I don't care home or away. I'd like to see
• 43:43
  Speaker 7: a little less of that.
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: I don't want to make a mistake or I don't
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: want to be Yeah, I don't want to be careful.
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: I'm done with careful. Careful hasn't gotten us where we
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: need to go and decision making. Obviously, you got a
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: protection football. We're the top of the NFL and turnover margin,
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: you know, we're I don't know what the number is,
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: but case is like minus four. And a big part
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: of that is is Patrick Mahomes not having you know,
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: the mojo with his weapons. So let's let's exploit that
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: a little bit. I want to see Ed Oliver angry.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Ed.
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: I want to see some angry at Oliver upfield this week,
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: you know, making making.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: That all s.
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: I was so excited after last year just hasn't been
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: there with fire, right, I mean, what are we afraid of?
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: What are we afraid of? Mahomes beating us and they
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: get a quick score. Okay, well then you got to
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: trust one to seven and the boys to get back
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: out there and answer, you know, like fire with fire,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: like we got the dog. If we do get beat
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: who else can we get seven from us? So you know, obviously,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: if it gets reckless, you got to make adjustments. You
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: can't just everybody can get over the top. But what
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: are they afraid of getting beat? Well, okay, if we do,
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: we got the best case scenario.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: To go back again, CounterPunch, I got a little something
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: for you though. Guess what, you know what they say
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: about top teams, We haven't. We haven't played our best
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: football yet on either side of the ball. So you know,
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: we still got it. We still got some games left.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: But man, if they can start, you know both are
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: You're gonna get Milano back with Bernardi? You kidding me, Bro,
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: Like that's gonna be nasty. You're gonna have a keon
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Coleman all nice and rehab the guy he can get
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: his mind right, Marik Cooper. Oh, and then we've got
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: that dude, you know, Samuel who who had four catches
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: last week, right, get him involved in the offense. So
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: I think if they can start putting some of these
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: pieces together by playoff time, we should see a Buffalo
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: Bills team that we have not seen before on both
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: sides of the ball. And this is an idealistic but
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: firing on both sides of the football. I still think
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: this offense has they left a lot of meat on
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: the ball. All twenty two says, this team leaves a
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: lot of meat on the bone. You know, it's it's
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: it's it's timing, and it's that the small stuff, right.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, Josh has a whole bunch of new weapons here.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: So if it doesn't happen this week, I'm okay with it.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Like I said, this is a Sean McDermott football game.
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: Interesting, interesting, you know, it's it's funny that we say that,
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: you know. And and I'm just gonna be watching. All
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: eyes will be on the bills, all eyes. I'm definitely
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: gonna have eyes on Sean mcxt me bro, Yeah, I
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: will be because now at this point, you know, I
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: don't want I understand the value of a run game,
• 46:23
  Speaker 5: and DT is right, and I do get it.
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: I'm not ignorant to that fact.
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: I I just want when the chips are down, I'd
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: rather have it than Johnson, even if even if they
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: get cooked involved like you guys said or right days
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: is out of the backfield. I still want Josh making decisions.
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: And what we see this year is that he is
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: capable of making good I think that running and being predictable,
• 46:43
  Speaker 5: running on every first down or every other second down.
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: I think that that that could play into a guy
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: like Specknola.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: Who really knows what we're doing.
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: So for sure, as we wrap up tonight, I really
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: appreciate you guys uh being with us and joining us tonight.

• 47:29
  Speaker 5: we just give our report on what we did last Sunday,
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: how we consume the Bills game and enjoy it with
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: our friends and family, or what have you?
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: I know for me, we joked about it last week.
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: DT it's the same recurrence. Man, this new princess, she
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: just I mean, all of a sudden, I'm the cool.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Guy and everybody wants to come to the crib.
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: So this week it was more of the same.
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: So Jody was here, Rebecca was here, the boys were
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: all here, literally, and then we had one of Jody's
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: friends were in town and she made us.
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: She had authentic tackle.
• 47:57
  Speaker 5: She lives in Texas and she was cooking up like
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: right by San Antonio tacos and like it was really
• 48:02
  Speaker 5: really dope. The kids really enjoyed it. It was really
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: good vibes for sure. The game same thing. I really
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: wasn't too I was it wasn't like Miami for sure.
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: I knew that we were in control of the game,
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: so I was able to stay out of the shed.
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: I was here, I was.
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: Conversating with everybody, enjoying the baby and yet DT we
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: had a good time.
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: Now, Scott, I tried to hook you up, brother, than
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: like what happened?
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: Man, You gotta you gotta click it and then you
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: gotta press back, and then you gotta click it to
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: get what happened?
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: Tell me, Yeah, we had I got it going. I
• 48:29
  Speaker 7: got the stream going.
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: For a while.
• 48:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it was watching, but it was it was buffering.
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: It was it was pausing and freezing and buffering, but
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: it was enough to watch the game. Between that and Twitter. Okay,
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: we went Southern Breakfast for dinner. So I made fresh grits,
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: like from the old corn ground corn. No nothing instant,
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: none of those Shenanigans. Had some nice smoke sausage, some
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: scrambled eggs, and that was just a good simple meal
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: with my wife.
• 48:53
  Speaker 7: She's she will root for the bills. We put ferguson
• 48:56
  Speaker 7: the pug.
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: And his bills harness there, you know, so that will
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: tell you about droughts that I go back to Joe Ferguson.
• 49:03
  Speaker 7: He's my bills here right.
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Now gust is too cool for that, so he
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: goes by Gus. But so it was just the three
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: of us kind of chilling this week, though it's going
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: to be in honor of Chris Jones. I'm gonna do
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: wings in the air fryer this week.
• 49:17
  Speaker 7: So we're gonna do it right now.
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: My goal is to learn how to make blue cheese
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: from scratch instead of buying this wishbone or hans, because
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: to me, the blue cheese makes a difference. You gotta
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: have or Yeah, nobody, nobody over here in Ohio gets that.
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: They don't understand. The wings got to be well done.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: You got to be it's got to be.
• 49:39
  Speaker 7: It's gotta be.
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, none of that chewy gross yeah, and it's got
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: to be the right blue cheese, like Craft.
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: Is not getting it done. Makes it makes a difference. Yeah, Craft,
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: I mean that's not even that's like salad dressing.
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: And I don't know.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: When I came in the Buffalo for the first time,
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: I have real blue cheese, I was like, it takes
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: a lot different. Bro, I was catfished.
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: I love it, Sterling. What are you going to do?
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: How did you consume last game?
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: Oh? Man? So I was at our Bill's Backers chapter
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: up in Denver, meet and a bunch of friends. We
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: watched the games there every week, So I'll probably be
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: going back there. Strong.
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: There are we represented out there?
