• 2:43
  Speaker 1: go huge slate today, I mean, yes, a beautiful day
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: of football watching on this Saturday before the actual game
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: day tomorrow.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, it is. It's a beautiful day. And you're
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: absolutely right about that. A lot of implications of Kansas
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: City gets ready to play in about another minutes or so.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Big game for the Bills. We need Houston, So Bill's
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: mafia out there, Nicol City crew, go ahead and root
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: for Houston because we want to keep that one seed
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: alive as long as we can, and then we'll just
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: kind of let the chips fall from there. Before we
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: go forward and move forward, let's take a step back
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: and look at what we just we just witnessed DT.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: The reason that I think that I was so frustrated
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: after the Rams loss was because of the fact that
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I was okay mentally, and I told Nate this, I
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: told Bobby this when we were watching the game. We'll
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: get to the tailgate report at the end of the show,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: but I told them that I was mentally prepared to
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: lose the Detroit game. So that's why I did not
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: want to let that Rams game slide.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Bills came out on fire, two straight drives to start
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: the game, go quick, fourteen to nothing DT And really,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: to me and we'll talk about the defense and things
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: like that, it didn't really feel like it was in doubt.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: It felt like we were in control of that game
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: the entire time. I know that some garbage points were
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: put up in the fourth quarter in my opinion, those
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: twenty one fourth quarter points for the Lions, But it's
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: seemed like the Bills were just clicking right off the bat.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: They looked sharp right off the bat, and it was
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: a it was an effort that it seemed like it
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: was Uh, it just seemed like the offense couldn't do
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: anything wrong. Man, they were just clicking and it was
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: so fun to watch.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: They it's his you know, juggernaut style right there. I
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: don't think there's you know, Detroit was kind of talked
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: about as a juggernaut offense. The Bengals can throw it
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: around here and there, but their record sucks, you know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: So this I mean the production the past couple of
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: weeks from one to seven, and the boys have been,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you know, top tier in the league. I don't think
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: there's a better you know offense, you know offense out
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: there that has that ability. Uh, he's in a zen state.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: He's throwing it around, he's there were bouncing the points up.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: What's this now nine straight games with thirty or more
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and obviously two straight games with with forty or more.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Obviously had the loss in there too, but you know,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: they're in a in a different element. It seems like
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: everything's clicking. And you know what was encouraging me, Rob
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: was some day going in obviously put up the points,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: which is great, got key on Koban back, got Dalkin
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: k back, and they're just kind of, you know, getting
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: back into the scene and getting back into the scheme.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: None of them had a crazy game by any standards,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: but you know, a strong, strong showing from those two.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: So I like the everyone kind of getting back. It
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: still feels like we got a lot under the hood
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and we're putting up fifty points a game. So I'm
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: all set on the offensive side.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm all set as well. You know, the Bills
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: just look so good out there. And then it was,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: you know, a situation. I heard it on gr and
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: they're absolutely right this week talking about how the backs.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: How you know backs and tight ends. It was a
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: back and tight end game for Joe Brady and and
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: it was interesting because when I looked at it, I
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: like Ty Johnson. I mean, I was a fan of
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: his last year. It seems like he is just a
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: perfect compliment for what they need and what Joe Brady
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: is looking for in respects to out of the backfield
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: matching up to a linebacker, and it's just it's a
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: situation where you can't really handle that guy five catches
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: one hundred and fourteen yards, starts out with that wonderful
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: play up the side line, and Josh just drops it
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: in the bucket. And it was, uh, it was really
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: something to see because I like him. I thought that
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: he was dangerous, but he looks like he could be
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: something that you want your in your host in the playoffs.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: He looks, he looks, he looks dangerous. Man.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole room. I mean that this is the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: third game, this is the third game this season they've
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: won that all three running backs have a tuddy. You
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: know James, James Cook, Ray Davis, and you know Anti Johnson.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: So it's a cool, cool situation to see him a
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: going I mean twenty six. He's I haven't seen him
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: drop one. I haven't seen him drop one.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: So this is this is something that uh, you know,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: we're we're getting rolling with the weapons, like I said,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: with Kincaid and Coleman back, like Amari Cooper didn't even
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: have a target, you know, when we put up forty
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: eight points. So the fact that everyone is able to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: get involved. The third I wouldn't say even strings. You know,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: he's not the third string running back. He's a he's
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: a package running back, you know, for comes in and
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you know on the depth chart, I whatever. So I
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: love it Ty Johnson. He never drops a ball. Josh
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: loves swing to him. He's had some crazy touchdowns this year,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Rob and you know, and then the fact that you know,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: some crazy catches on that day. So everybody getting involved,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Amari Cooper not even having a target, and still you know,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: putting up this many points. Is it just it's gonna
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: be scared. There's a lot left under the hood. And
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: kudos to Ty Johnson. He's he's coming bald out ever
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: since he put the Bills uniform on. Even last year
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: he was, Yes, I liked him last year, ye productive
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: he always seems to be productive when he's out there.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: There's never too much negativity going on with two six, So.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. You know, it's interesting because you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Dalton Kincaid got back in the mix, and you saw
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: him again. Knox got a couple of catches as well,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: but you know, like I said, it was back on
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the team. Yeah, with that, with the way that he
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: grabs and snatches that thing in. So you know, I
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: know that I poop pooed everybody eats and things like that,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and I'm I'm still standing on it because I do
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: feel that Amari Cooper draws attention away and that was
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: really the only thing that I wanted. I wanted somebody
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: to replace fourteen, just to have that, you know, put
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: the fear into a defense, defensive coordinator in their game planning.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: And I think that that still worked out. You're absolutely right.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: A week after having fourteen targets, Amari Cooper has zero
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: and the offense still hums in, like you said, almost
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: puts up fifty. So it's a situation where as we
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: move forward to these last three games, I'm looking for
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: the offense to just continue. I want to see Joe Brady.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I think that was his best game DT By the way,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: I got to get miss Flowers on that game. I
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: think that was his best game and his best game calling.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: With the way that he was just dialing stuff up.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: It just seemed like they were always a step ahead.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: And one of the things that I was thinking about,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: when you know, Detroit made that little mini comeback second half,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I was like, every time that they were getting ready
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: to you know, get in the red zones, go score,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I would tell Nate, I said, well, they have to
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: give us the ball back. It's not make it, take it.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: This is not pick up basketball. You got to give
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: us the ball back. So the way that the offense
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: was rolling, I just had so much confidence that we
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: were going to still get ours. And we did the
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: bills again forty eight forty two over Detroit, finding a
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: way to go ahead and squeeze out that win at
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: the end twenty one fourth quarter points for the lines.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: But again, to me, it was a little bit deceiving.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: They were up by seventeen with only a couple of
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: minutes to go in the third quarter.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: It was really a situation where they were they were really.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Under the uh, they were under a hard, hard way
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: there was no way that the Bills were given that
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: game back. I felt completely confident.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: DT.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: You want to talk about some of the throws, one
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: seven was making two rob I mean, this dude, like
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: all these comparisons this year, you know about MVP and
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: running away with it and then the Lamar, the Lamar
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: fans coming in this week and like, oh their numbers
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and whatnot. But there the game tapes next to game tapes,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: nobody has ever made plays like this consistently. He you know,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: it's addicting. We always say it to watch what you say.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: You know, the obvious one, the deep ball to Keon
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Coleman off his back foot getting licked on a rope,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: fifty five ear yards on a rope into this dude's
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: hands to drop to Ty Johnson. And then one of
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the kind of the ones that go uh not pushed
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: under the rug, but ones that weren't talked about, was
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: that third and long Adulton Concate coming across. You know
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: that was that was a huge conversion to get us
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: going to get to get six on that on that possession. Yeah,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: and that ball was literally perfect on third down. So
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the dude, the dude's in his ship right now.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Man, he's in his bag.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: As the kids say, he is bad.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: That you don't see that from any other quarterback in
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: this league right now.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I have to agree. It's funny that you
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: mentioned the Lebar people because you know they they have
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: come out that would work on Twitter, and you know
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I stay over there trying to figure out what's going
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: on and what's the what's the narrative of the weekend. Yes,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: everybody wants to try to put up the stats, but
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: then last year they didn't want to put up the stats. Yeah,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: in respects to that because they, you know, the Josh
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Allen had better stats. So it's just funny the dichotomy
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: how things switch and change around when you want to
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: root for your guy. But I think that Josh Allen
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: is in the MVP driver's seat. It's not something that
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I'm really concerned with. It seems like Bill's mafia is,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: or a portion of Bill's mafia, I should say, is
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: is rabbit about it? And they really want it. I
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: loved Josh's response this week. He was on Good Morning America,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: a Good Football America, whatever football morning, and he was
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: talking about how they asked him like, what's most important
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: that and he was just like, the only thing that's
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: important is the Lombardi. And I just love the way
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: that he handled the question. It's kind of one of
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: those leading questions where hey, what would you prefer? There's
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: no way that you would prefer MVP on or over
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the Lombardi, And I just like the way that he
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: handled it. But it seems like he's focused on the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: right things. And what he said was that if you're
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: in the MVP conversation, that means you win in a
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: lot of games. And that's exactly what the Bills are doing.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: So if it comes with it, it comes with it.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: But I'm not really too wrapped up on it, but
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: it does seem like he's in the driver's seat.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not wrapped up on it, but I
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: want it, you know.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, but not more than a Lombardi, though none of us,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: none of us should want it more than a Lombardy, of.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Course, not of course not, but the fact of you know,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: it's so deserving and just to you know, to just
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: give that ammal to us the rest of our lives,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: when you know we might be talking goat conversation of eventually,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: if we do get the parties and then throw in
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: some MVPs and just load that gun, load that AMO,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and you know, forty years down the road, if we're
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: still doing Nickel City Crew Rob and you know, we're
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: talking about the goat conversation of Josh Allen. So that's
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: kind of what I wanted for, just to get the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: respect he truly does deserve of being one of the
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: greatest we've ever seen. And you know, that's that's kind
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: of I just want that for the for the organization,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: for him, for the accolades to truly be blessed with.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: He is the best player. He is the most valuable player,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: you know, and there's that debate of is is it
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the best player? Is it the most valuable player? I
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: think he holds both right now, right So, yeah, heeps
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: playing like this and you know, then we'll get into
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: it today about you know, how this seating is all
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: going to shake out and are we gonna rest starters
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: and this and that. But I don't want this dude
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: to cool down at all.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Hell no, I don't want him to cool down.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I want him to have all the motivation. They talked
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: about how Oliver played his best game because he was
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: pissed off. I want him to stay pissed off then
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: the rest of the year. I want somebody to disrespect
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: them the rest of the season and find a way.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Now as we transition, speaking of the defense, you know,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: it's funny because you know, you don't really think about
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: problems until they kind of arise, and I don't. I
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: wanted to get your take on what you think about
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: these last couple weeks, because the narrative going around right
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: now a little bit is that you know, the Bills
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: are great and there seem to be an offensive juggernaut,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: but but they always got to add up button. That
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: caveat is that the defense is now start to look
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: a little bit leaky or whatever the case may be.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I'm giving up these points these last couple of weeks.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: My take on it DT is that you know, you've
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: played two great quarterbacks. I mean, Stafford's arguably a future
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Hall of Famer. Obviously, Jared Goff's playing his best football
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: there in Detroit. I don't really worry about it as
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: much as it seems like everybody else is worrying about
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: it because of the fact that here it's it's kind
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: of a coin. Yes, McDermott. Defenses do not play well
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs. That is an historical fact. I've still
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: done that as well in the pass rush and defensive line,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: different things like that have been lacking when it comes
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: time for postseason football. However, they've been pretty good this
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: entire year. They've been you know, they've been averaged to
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: above average this entire year. So because of that, I
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: don't think that I'm really I'm not sweating it too much.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I think is that is that the key that I'm
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: trying to get across. I know that it's important to
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: play well on defense. You're not going to shut people out.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: You're not going to really do that in the playoffs.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: It's going to be good on good. So I look
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: at it as if we can find a way to
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: get stops. That's the main thing to me is getting
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: key stops, key situational you know, stops where you getting
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: that team off the field, getting that other offense off
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: the field. If we can find a way to do that,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I you know, I don't mind winning games thirty five
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: thirty one or thirty five twenty eight, whatever the case
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: may be, or thirty one twenty eight.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: I'm okay and I'm comfortable with that. I have confidence
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: in the offense.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Where do you stand on the defense because there's been
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: a lot chattered about the defense and should the Bills
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: mafia be worried. I don't know.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: I'm interested to hear what you have to say.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, Rasseul Douglas being out last week wasn't ideal,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: you know, with one of the better better receivers in
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the league. But the script was kind of flipped last week, right,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Usually this Bill's d kind of you know, starts off
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: giving a little cushion and then you know later in
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: the game they tighten up and get a turnover, make
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: a stop and win these games. That was kind of
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the m O all year, except the Rams game obviously,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and then this game they they kind of came out
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: early and we're making stops, you know, let let the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: offense get up to that fourteen oh lead. They had
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: a few big sacks on go off early and that's
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: kind of the way it flipped on this on this route.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: The other point I want to make is, you know, yes,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the past two showings, you never want to give up
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: forty points, you know, as a defense. But they're two
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: NFC teams Rob You know, like we ain't seen the
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Cats until literally the Super Bowl, and if we get there,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I'm fully confident, you know, in us at that point, right,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: So it's not like it's it's a team that we're
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: gonna see again in the playoffs and have to be
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: worried about it and in those type the standards. But
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: you just said it, good on good. We're gonna see
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: good offenses. You know, obviously every offense in the in
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the AFC can put up points, but the kind of
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the gimmicky, quick twitch points that we saw the last
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: two weeks, we won't see it all the Super Bowl.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: So I'm not too worried about it. I'd like to
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: see it tightened up. I'd like to see us get
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: a little healthier obviously on that side of the ball.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: And you know, it comes down to the pressure standpoint.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: We got pressure early on in Detroit, got to golf
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: at Oliver, played great and made plays up front, and
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: that's what it's going to be, you know, deep in
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: the playoff, control in the line of scrimmage and getting
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: getting pressure on these dudes, getting them off their rocker.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: And that's when this the back of this defense plays best,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: not turnover dependent. But the twos have have rise. They
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: have helped us out a lot. Though they have, they've
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: helped us out a lot. You know, uplifted us to
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: a lot better defense and than it probably is. So
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: not concerned, but got to tighten some things up.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I totally agree. Now as we begin to transition,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: it's fun tonight's episode, excuse me, today's episode, this afternoon's
• 17:02

  Speaker 2: to twenty six shirts dot com.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: DT.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: This last little three game stretch has got me excited
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: because obviously we've got some cupcakes down the way down
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: these last three games, but the one seed is still
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: in play, and I'm gonna be I'm literally getting ready
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: to have the channel turned over. I'm watching college football
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: right now, but I'm going to turn the channel over
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: to the NFL because it's a big deal. Man.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: Today's a big deal for for the Bills.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: What's the one thing that I talked about that we
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: have never done in the McDermott era. We've done everything.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: We've been to an AFC championship, you know, everything besides
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: going to a super Bowl.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: We've been to an AFC championship game.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: We've beat Kansas City, We've you know, we've done different
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: things throughout the throughout the tenure. The only thing we've
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: never done is go ahead and capture that number one seed.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: I still feel that the benefit of that one game
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: off is I just think that it's just so huge.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: I just sometimes I hear Bill's Mafia on WGR and
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: things like that that they talk about, well, it's okay
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: if we get the two seed. Normal, you know, they're
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: almost conceding it, and that's fine if we do get it.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: I don't want to concede anything until it's over. The
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Chiefs cannot win the number one seed this week unless
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: they win today plus a Bills loss. We don't anticipate
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: the Bills losing these last three games. D T. It's
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: right there for us. Man, that week off, I think
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: is a big deal.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: You play two games and you're in the super Bowl.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: It's well, you got to look at it at home too.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: You got to look at it as a win.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a win. It's a free win, absolutely that
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: nobody gets hurt. That nobody gets hurt.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: You advance in the playoffs, Scott free. And it's a
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: time of year. These guys talk about it all the time.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: By the end of the year, everybody, everybody on the
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: team's beat up with something. You know, they might not
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: be on the injury report, but it's too aggressive of
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: a game. It's a gladiator sport. Everybody is beat up
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: with something. And at the end of the you know,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: get through the holidays end of the year. That extra
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: week I think is huge. I don't know the exact
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: statistics on how many one seeds you know, go all
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: the way through and whatnot, but it's a free win.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: You got to take it. And yeah, like you said,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: it's just another check mark on something you know that
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: we haven't done yet. I it's too tough to kind
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: of break down the if we get the one, or
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: do we want the one, do we want the two
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: depending on matchups on the bottom, because we don't know.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: That's kind of all shaken out right week by week
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: on the last you know, the wild card spots down there,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: So I'm not too into that either. Just Just get
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: the one and play who we play moving forward. Hopefully
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Kansas City meets the Ravens and yeah for each other
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: out and then we get we just get the one
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: of them. I hear fear about Cincinnati, but I mean
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: they have an eight percent chance to make it. I'm
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: not scared of them. They haven't won games when they
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: need it. They're they're on a little bit of a role.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: They obviously have a high power offense. There's that dark
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: cloud from the last time we played them in the playoffs,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: and and then mar Hamlin and everything about the Bengals
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: people just don't like and I don't either. But again,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: whatever whoever we got to see, give me that week off.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Get these boys rested and ready to go. It's a
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: it's a free win. It's a free win. We'll take
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the win in the playoffs. We'll move on to the
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: divisional round. It's at home. Everything goes through us all
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: the way to the ball.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's something that I just want.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: I think that.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: It's like I said, I I can't overstate how that
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: week off. Like you said, it's a free win. But
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: it's the injuries. You know, Pittsburg just decimated us last
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: year with injuries and they affected us. And then you
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: and I sat section for that playoff game and watch,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: you know, Baile inspector and those guys get get torn up,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: and I just you know, eight explosive plays that night again,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Nicol City crewf you don't know, explosive play defining the
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: NFL is twenty yards of more. They had eight in
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: one game. I mean that is just that's way too many.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: So the injuries can always play a factor. It is
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: a war of attrition. I do agree with that, and
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: I just want it for that exact fact. Now, if
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: we don't get it, Bill's moon feet enough. You know,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: all hope is not lost or anything like that. We
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: know what it's like to go on the road. We
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: know what it's like to try to go in tussle
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: with Kansas City. Obviously we haven't done it and won
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: a game in the playoffs there, but we have won
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: an arrowhead, so that should give you a little bit
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: of solace along with the fact that the Chiefs haven't
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: looked that great to be honest, this year. So you know,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: if we don't get it, all is not lost. I'm
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: not putting all of my eggs in that basket and
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: kind of having doom and gloom that if we don't
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: get it we can't get to the Bowl, because I
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: do think we can get to Super Bowl fifty nine
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: as the two seat. I just would like to have
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: it now when you look at some of these matchups.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: So you got a big one as well later on
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: in the afternoon after that Kansas City game in respects
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: to Baltimore and picks for Picksburg and win the North
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: with a win today and capture that. I think that
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: I want to keep Baltimore as a lower seed DT
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: because of the fact that I think that they could
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: be Doctor Jekyll and mister Hyde in the playoffs. And
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: I really do truly believe that. What's Lamar's bugaboo, it's
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: that he doesn't play the same as he does in
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: the regular season when he gets to the postseason.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: So I'd love to see them knocked out.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I think is there a chance Dt that the AFC
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: could kind of cannibalize each other. I don't know what
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: you feel about Denver and the Chargers. Obviously we saw
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: them play a great game, you know, last a couple
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: of nights ago. But you know, it's a situation where
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: I would just love to see maybe some of the
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: big boys, some of the guys that I'm worried about,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: and that would be Baltimore for sure at the top
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: of my list, get eaten up earlier in the playoffs,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: before the Bills even have to worry about it.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: To be honest, yeah, I.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Agree, but this is I mean, Baltimore are a couple stretch,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: just like the Chiefs. Here, you got Saturday and then
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: you got Christmas Day quo opponents, right, So yeah, Chiefs
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: going Texans today and then they go Steelers and Ravens
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: go you know Texans. You know, the Texans are just
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: pretty much locked into that four now with with and
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: a little above mediocre. I mean CJ. Stroud can play. Obviously,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Digs is out Nico Collins back is huge for them,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: but I'd like to see them again, you know, I'd
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: like to give them a little get back from you know,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: from Josh All going nine for thirty one. Yeah, phoning
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: down the stretch and you know, make a bad decision
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: making as we go right right thee. I'm back and
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: forth if you know who I want in the North,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: whether I want the Ravens or I want Pittsburgh right,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: keep the home games in Pittsburgh, keep people traveling to
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh right, you know, or throw them in the wild card.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: And I mean you can't write them off with with
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: t J. Watt and Russell Wilson as much.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: As yeah, we talked junk about him, but he's playing good.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, weapon George Pickens is a problem, you know.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: And and there run games are right, so they're not
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: as like put off as they were last year when
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: we saw him in the playoffs, for sure. But I'd
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: rather obviously see them than the Ravens. So I'm back
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: and forth with who I want to to win that division.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: I don't want the Bengals in. I really don't think
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: they're gonna get in.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't want to see them though I wouldn't want
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't want to see Baltimore number one, and then
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: the and then you know, the Bengals scared me the
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: most just because of the fact that I just don't
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: know what this.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: You know, any game.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Denver good for them, but you know, rookie quarterback whatever.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Chargers I think are still like back and forth with
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: a little identity, like Herbert is a good arm talent.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: But uh but hardball wants to be kind of a
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: like like run team and when they're efficient and you know, again, okay,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: defense got some got some playmakers there, but he really
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: not scared. The Chiefs are the Chiefs, and then you
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: know who who else going to mix down there? You got.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: That's it, man. The AFC is pretty set, like that's it.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be Denver or or the Chargers flip flop
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: six and seven, and then like you said, it's either
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: gonna be Baltimore or Pittsburgh in the five. And then
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: like you said, Houston is really locked into that four.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: So it's a situation where you could have, you know,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: if you get the one seed, great, but let's say
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: worst case scenario, you get the two seed. You could
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: have Denver coming into town or you know, well the
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Chargers just lost, so you could have no, no, Denver
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: just lost the other night, so you could have Denver
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: coming into town, and then you would reced.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Afterwards everything goes chalk.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Then you probably got to face you know, Baltimore, and
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: then you probably got to face Kansas City. So it's
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: like you would have an opportunity to exercise all of
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: your demons in one postseason, and you know, it's a
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: tough that'd be a tough road. I heard some people
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: on Twitter talking about, well, well I want, you know,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: I want to go through the toughest competition on the
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: way to the super Bowl. Fuck that, Like like there's
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: no asterisk next to the super Bowl. Like I don't
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: care who we have to play. I don't care if
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: we have the easiest feel possible. I just want to
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: get to the super Bowl and I really don't care
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: how it happens. Man.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well now kind of talking about it
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: a little bit, you see, that could be you know,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: that hit could be if the Ravens go to the
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: five and the Bills do sneak into the one right
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: then in that divisional round, if the Ravens won, it
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: would be that would make it Kansas City Baltimore because
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: the they receed right, you would play the you would
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: play the lowest seed and it wouldn't be five. It
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be the five at that point. So I guess
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: room for the Steelers end of day.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: But anyway, Yeah, the way the way it feels that
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: we talked about it feeling different. By the year, they're
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: ready to go, they want it, They kind of have
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: that taste in their mouth. This year. Is this the
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: year I'm not scared of anybody. Let's let's let's roll,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Let's get the one. Let's get the one.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Though I like it. Yeah, we'll leave the one and
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: not let that not let that hope die until it's
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: actually mathematically impossible. Now, as we begin to wrap up
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: the Nickel City Crew Tailgate Report, got a little abbreviated
• 26:59

  Speaker 2: from Forty Thieves d T the Nickel City Crew Tail
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Greate Report Listen. Last week was was really fun because
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: of the fact that I had all the kings again,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: and you know, we just watched the game. Man. We
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: enjoyed it. It was Bobby and Nate. Actually Quincy was
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: with his mom, but we had Bobby and Nate. We
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: watched it. We were right here again downstairs and just
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: enjoying ourselves. And like I said, I kept telling Nate,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: they got to give us the ball back. They got
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: to give us the ball back. I wasn't worried about it.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: We fired up some wings. We had all different types
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: of sauces. We had honey hot, we had you know,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: sweet chili, we had lemon pepper, and we just tore
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: up some wings and had a great time. So it
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: was a really good day to watch the Bills. I
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: love these four o'clock games because you get a chance
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: to watch a little football in the you know, in
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: the afternoon, early afternoon, one o'clock slight, and then you're
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: not waiting until you know, Sunday night football or whatever
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: the case may be, or God forbid, Monday night. So
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: I really do like that little four o'clock slot and
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: gives you a chance to kind of warm up a
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: little bit beforehand. And you already know Princes's ivyes in
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: the buildings, so she commands attention as well.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: So we had a great time.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: DT It was good low key wings and we had
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: a we had a great time tearing them up. Man.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Nice.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, I loved the four o'clock slide. Ain't bad, you know,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: and mind this week it got some it got some
• 28:26

  Speaker 2: It's about being around your family, your loved ones and
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: uh and showing them that you care. Thanksgiving is selfishly
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: my favorite holiday, but obviously with the kids, they they

• 30:34
  Speaker 3: They love they love it. They're they're ready for Santa

  Speaker 3: I will still undecided.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah TVD Lord Lord have birth the talk tomorrow. Wasn't
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: playing on it, and then kind of this week realized
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: that everyone is going to be down there and active,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: and you know, I'm sure everyone moved back for the
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: playoffs too, But the Syracuse squad is actually bringing a
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: bus in this week, so you know, obviously got stepped
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: in Brandon and then coming in with the full bus
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: of of Syracuse people, so a lot of you know
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: when I lived out there, a lot of my friends
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: from there, so it might be possible I have a showing.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Uh this time of year, I know, we know enough
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: people with season tickets where it's probably pretty easy to
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: get into the game if I if I needed to.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: So we'll make that game time decision. You know, we'll
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: test it out warm ups and see how we feel
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: as we get into the holiday. Nice short week of work.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Love that you start Monday. Tuesday's Christmas Eve, going down
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: to my parents on Christmas Eve, having it very nice,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: very nice, and uh my Grandma's my Grandma's this year,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: so you know, going down and enjoying Christmas Eve with them,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: and then we're coming back up to buff on Christmas Day. Uh,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Meredith and Derek are hosting their first Christmas uh with
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: with EJ and and one on the way. So I
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: got a little little sneak peek for for the listeners,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: and I know, h Elliott's probably not listening yet, so
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I can I can say it on air, but I'm
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: gonna pull out a little uh, gonna pull out a
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: little Santa Claus appearance. I got a nice suit, I
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: got a couple of years.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: What you're gonna be Santa?
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: A jolly, I'm at a rob.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: They are gonna love that.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Aaron Derek's and uh, ej is gonna see gonna see
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Santa hopefully doesn't know it's me.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: But that's awesome.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: That is so cool.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: That's funny because I've been seeing all these videos on
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Instagram of the Grinch coming in and taking all the
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: presents from the kids and the kids going fucking crazy,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, that's what I would do. That needs
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: to be my job because uh, I'm more of a
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: scrooge on Christmas and and a Grinch. But uh but yeah,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: the kids, I mean, we'll get together. I've got the
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: kids this Christmas, but we all kind of get get together.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: So we'll probably head over to Bobby and Nate's mom's house,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: to Rebecca and the ex wife and we'll just all
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: hang out and you know, a little brunch, you know,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: So we do a little brunch where that that way
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: all the kids are together. It's really important for me
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: that all my Kings and my princesses are together on Christmas.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I think it's important.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: So they'll all get together, probably do a little brunch,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: open the gifts, let them kind of do their own thing.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: And then Daddy is going back home. He is going
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: to sit his ass on the couch.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: He's going to watch football and hopefully take a nap
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: with with Princess Ivy. That is all I'm trying to do.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: And we got a little ham. We'll put ham in
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: the oven and make sure that that gets heated up.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: But it's about the kids, man. When you know, when
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: you get in that in that realm DT and you
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: already know with your niece, with your nephew and stuff
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: like that, the kids just they just go, They go
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: apes over.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: They love it.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: They just it's their time of year. So we're really
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: excited Santa is coming. They're all on the good on
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: the good list and not on the naughty list or
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: all on the nice list. Yeah man, yep, yeah, yeah,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: they eat it up. So I can't wait, you know.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: And and kind of the limits on people like my
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: dad's a little more reserved and conservative, so I always
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: try to get him something just wacky and wild to
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: make them a little uncomfortable and it's awesome, great feeling overall. Yeah, plumpuff.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: How about the NFL though, saying NBA. NBA says we
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: got Christmas, and the NFL says, actually, nah.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: We got Yeah.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: It's so funny because there's a lot of chedder around
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: the NBA right now because they're shooting all these threes
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: and viewership is going down. So the NFL just stepping
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: right in and they're like, we're not giving up any
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: any bit of of of acreage or yardedge.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: So I love the fact that they're doing that because.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: When when one seven of the boys are playing, it's
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: it's probably next year. To be honest, they're these you know,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: they're they're craving to put this guy on prime time
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: and you know it's we saw him on Thanksgiving three
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: out of four years, and right, so that's next Bill's Mafia,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: nicol City. You're gonna see You're gonna see the boys
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: on Christmas.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that that is right around the corner.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: They already that the Thanksgiving things a few times, so
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: we'll see how it goes. But the more they keep winning,
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: the more America's gonna want to watch him. And uh,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: and I'm down for that.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: I just want to get to the Super Bowl. I
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: do feel confident about it as we wrap up tonight, DT,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: I just I wanted to know what you thought last
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: three games? We should go three and on correct, there
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: should be nothing about these opponents that really scares, that
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: scares or anything like that, right, Okay? Yeah, New England
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: seems to be a mess. Their coach seems to keep
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: putting his foot in his mouth every week saying weird shit,
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: talking with weird shit, and like obviously.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: That with him.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, I was just gonna say that you take the
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: words out of my mouth. Well they might be one
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: and done with with Gerrod Mayo. So we don't even
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: know what's going on there. And then the Jets. You
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: heard the news about the Jets, Like, isn't that I
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: I when I read some of the stuff about Woody Johnson,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: I honestly could not believe that it was that it
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: was real.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: I said, Madden ratings. I said, an NFL, actual NFL
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: team is is going off with Madden ratings. And then
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: I guess is his kids or something like that or
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: like have an input. And then the Joe Douglas says
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: that he's got to take he's got to take advice
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: from from teenagers or whatever, like what a shit show
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: like that is? That's I I was.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: I honestly thought that it was a joke. I couldn't
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: believe it.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and and next week we probably I
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: don't think we see eight. I don't think we see Rogers. Really,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I think we see Backupe game. Yeah, and you see eight.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: I yeah, it's it's laughable, it's funny. I love that.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: That's our next next three games to kind of prime
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: us up. But at the same time, we you know,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: we gotta stay focused, stay on course, and not cool down.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: We talked about being right now peeking up. If we
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: do get that, by great, If not, we're gonna have
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: a test, you know, first round. So so these three
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: games gotta be gotta be hot. Is is playing Jane
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: as we can get it to get the w's obviously,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: stay healthy all the way. We might see you know,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: only nine quarters of Josh Allen. The next three games,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: we might not see a fourth quarter out of them,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: might be, might be none.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: So and then depending on how the one and two
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: seeds work out. If you know something ahead of time,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: then might as well treat that last game as a
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: as a bye week, as a many by a week
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: before the playoffs.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: You might ast do that.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: If you get the two seeds locked into the two,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: then take week eighteen as the buy and keep it moving.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: So I'm excited during the holidays, it's good now, I
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: can you know, the stress levels a little bit down.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: We just kind of got to wait to shake it out,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: get through the holidays, and then ramp back up, ramp
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: back up for postseason ball.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: So I'm ready to go, man, Yeah, I'm ready to
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: go too as well. I don't think that there should
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: be any hiccups down the stretch. I think the Bills
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: take care of the Patriots both times this week, and
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: then the last game of the year, and then again
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: the Jets sandwich in the middle. I don't see any problem.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know if Rogers will be benched, but I.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Definitely even if he's in there, I don't have a
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: problem because he can't move defensive line, go ahead and
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: get after him that day. So again the Bill shit
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: end fourteen and three, We'll let the chips fall, and
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: getting ready to turn on the Chiefs game. Now, all
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Bill's Mafia, all Nichols City Crew root for Houston today.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: They can help us out a lot and getting that
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: number one seed. So DT, I'm excited. It's jolly time.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Even though I'm the Grinch. It's Christmas time. You hear
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: the sleigh bells and all the other shit. Listen, enjoy
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: it out there with your friends and family.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: I really am the Grinches. The baby mothers get on
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: me all the time.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: DT. I am the Grinch. I do not like Christmas,
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: but the kids like they just trump everything. They just
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: swallow it up. So I would love to get a Grinch.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: I would love to get a Grinch costume.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: And do with that. Have you seen what I'm talking
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: about on Instagram? It is so funny, man, And like
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: people are on there like, oh, you shouldn't traumatize the
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: kids and this, And then I'm like, what.
• 38:26
