- 0:04Speaker 2: Listen live every weekday morning from seven to ten on
- 0:07Speaker 2: Altitude Sports Radio ninety two to five and on the
- 0:10Speaker 2: Altitude Sports Radio App.
- 0:18Speaker 1: It's going to be a I believe a high scoring game,
- 0:22Speaker 1: thirty four to thirty type game.
- 0:24Speaker 3: Really that?
- 0:24Speaker 2: Wow?
- 0:25Speaker 3: Yes?
- 0:25Speaker 1: I think every every damn possession is gonna be four
- 0:28Speaker 1: down territory, right, every series four down territory from the
- 0:32Speaker 1: very get go, so get used to it. And the
- 0:34Speaker 1: Broncos defense at times, you're gonna have to make some
- 0:36Speaker 1: plays via the turnover. You're gonna have to take the
- 0:38Speaker 1: ball away to stop them. Thirty four to thirty high
- 0:42Speaker 1: scoring game.
- 0:42Speaker 4: So vic you think this game is going to be
- 0:44Speaker 4: you said thirty four to thirty. You didn't say who
- 0:47Speaker 4: had the thirty four.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Let me make it easy for you. Whoever has the
- 0:50Speaker 1: ball last, and when I say last, you can't have
- 0:55Speaker 1: the ball with like three seconds left? Last is in
- 0:58Speaker 1: threat to win the game?
- 0:59Speaker 3: Last? Well like at what a buck thirty to go
- 1:01Speaker 3: or something like that.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Whoever has the ball with the chance to win the
- 1:04Speaker 1: game last will win the game. Anything different would surprise me.
- 1:09Speaker 1: And I sure hope that the Broncos have it last.
- 1:14Speaker 4: So rally house football, Monday, rally house shop, every team
- 1:17Speaker 4: in town.
- 1:17Speaker 3: Vic I thought you were nuts when you.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Said that nuts.
- 1:21Speaker 3: That's crazy, cuckoo, and you damn near nailed it.
- 1:26Speaker 4: I gotta tell you, there is a million things that
- 1:30Speaker 4: we could do today. I've yelled about Buffalo already and
- 1:33Speaker 4: the loser mentality coming out of there. I can't believe
- 1:36Speaker 4: the narratives that they're sort of surrounding their loss with.
- 1:39Speaker 4: But we could talk about how the Broncos wanted. We
- 1:41Speaker 4: will all day today. Obviously there's that next step of
- 1:44Speaker 4: bow Nicks is not going to be playing anymore? So
- 1:47Speaker 4: what do you do moving forward with Jared Stidham? But
- 1:50Speaker 4: first and foremost, Nelly, I know you're busy. Go get Gary.
- 1:57Speaker 4: Oh wow, go get Gary. We're in the NFC Championship game.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Boys. We gotta do it.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Even without bow.
- 2:06Speaker 4: You won a playoff game against Josh Allen. You were
- 2:10Speaker 4: you got revenge last year on the team that knocked
- 2:14Speaker 4: you out. You're heading to the AFC Championship game. You're
- 2:17Speaker 4: a game away even without bow.
- 2:20Speaker 1: Most did did Brett and did these guys get clearance
- 2:23Speaker 1: of this?
- 2:24Speaker 3: I must be I made an executive decision.
- 2:27Speaker 2: I must be an executive to give me that music, Nelly,
- 2:32Speaker 2: give me that music, Nelly.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Come on, what.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Don't you have to have executive status?
- 2:42Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 2:43Speaker 1: Gary, Yeah? Gary? Well where is he he is?
- 2:50Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah Gary?
- 2:56Speaker 1: Yeah Gary? Yeah. Gary.
- 3:00Speaker 3: The guy is drunk. He's chest in his chest. How
- 3:05Speaker 3: long has it been since we seen Gary?
- 3:06Speaker 1: He's still pretty upright since so Broncos made the playoffs
- 3:09Speaker 1: last year. I forgot.
- 3:11Speaker 3: I forgot.
- 3:12Speaker 4: Whenever he's in the room with Nelly, it sounds like
- 3:14Speaker 4: a wind tunnels going through, like he's sitting mind his
- 3:16Speaker 4: seven forty seven. So again, listen the way that you
- 3:26Speaker 4: went about winning that game.
- 3:27Speaker 3: Me and most were just talking before the show started.
- 3:30Speaker 1: It was nuts.
- 3:33Speaker 4: I don't know what that game looks like if Buffalo
- 3:36Speaker 4: doesn't turn it over five times, but you forced them
- 3:40Speaker 4: to turn the ball over five times. You forced it.
- 3:44Speaker 4: There are moments where things look great. There are moments
- 3:46Speaker 4: where things weren't looking great. Bottom line is, they won
- 3:51Speaker 4: this football game the way that they've won basically the
- 3:53Speaker 4: entire year, just by the skin of their teeth.
- 3:58Speaker 3: At the very end, they find a.
- 3:59Speaker 4: Way to put out with a couple of huge plays
- 4:02Speaker 4: from your better players on this roster.
- 4:04Speaker 3: I don't care what anybody says.
- 4:06Speaker 4: That Jaquon McMillan interception is one of the greatest clutch
- 4:11Speaker 4: defensive plays you're gonna find in recent postseason memory.
- 4:15Speaker 1: First off, even I was surprised, and I predicted a
- 4:18Speaker 1: thirty four to thirty game with a bunch of takeaways,
- 4:20Speaker 1: and that's exactly what happened. And I'm still sitting here
- 4:23Speaker 1: stunned that the Broncos were able to pull that off. Okay,
- 4:26Speaker 1: the Jaquan McMillan play. For long time Bronco fans, I
- 4:30Speaker 1: want you to remember another name. It will live forever
- 4:34Speaker 1: in the annals of Broncos history, alongside Jeremiah Casteele, who
- 4:39Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty eight stripped Ernest Biner of the Cleveland
- 4:43Speaker 1: Browns when Ernest Biner was about to score and tie
- 4:47Speaker 1: the game against the Denver Broncos here at home, and
- 4:50Speaker 1: Jeremiah Casteele comes in and makes a play, and it
- 4:54Speaker 1: was a controversial play at the time, very controversial, just
- 4:57Speaker 1: like the Jaquan McMillan play. Was those two players, and
- 5:01Speaker 1: those two plays change the course of history.
- 5:06Speaker 3: Pretty much. That pretty much is the case.
- 5:09Speaker 2: I in real time I thought it was a catch
- 5:13Speaker 2: and real in tikay in real time, I'm like, well,
- 5:16Speaker 2: you know he's got the ball, then he's touched his
- 5:19Speaker 2: knees on the ground, so on and so forth. But
- 5:21Speaker 2: the rules listen, if this was nineteen ninety five, hell,
- 5:25Speaker 2: if this is two thousand and five, that's a catch.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 5:29Speaker 2: But the way the rules have been rewritten over the
- 5:32Speaker 2: years and this you know this, you've got got to
- 5:37Speaker 2: survive the ground stuff and all this kind of thing,
- 5:39Speaker 2: it was the correct call.
- 5:41Speaker 3: Now again that.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Times change, things change, so on and so forth, and
- 5:45Speaker 2: Jae Kwon did a great job to stay with it
- 5:47Speaker 2: and get his hands in there and come up with it.
- 5:49Speaker 3: The ball never touches and there you go. It was awesome.
- 5:53Speaker 4: The if that ball and it's not in Jakwan's hands,
- 5:56Speaker 4: it's an incomplete pass.
- 5:57Speaker 3: And I think that they ruled that the correct way,
- 6:00Speaker 3: whether like you can hate.
- 6:01Speaker 4: The rule, but by rule it's it's right, and Jake
- 6:07Speaker 4: want to stick with that play and make that In
- 6:10Speaker 4: that moment, I mean, it felt like the game was
- 6:12Speaker 4: gonna be over. I mean they had the ball, what
- 6:14Speaker 4: the twenty yard line? If that's rule to catch it
- 6:18Speaker 4: over chipshot field goal and.
- 6:19Speaker 1: If it's done, That's what I was thinking in my brain.
- 6:22Speaker 1: I was thinking, well, the game's over now because they're
- 6:24Speaker 1: in field goal range. And then I saw it was
- 6:27Speaker 1: weird because I was angry because Cooks was wide open,
- 6:30Speaker 1: right you saw the play. He's wide open. And first
- 6:34Speaker 1: of all, the play call by Buffalo is perfect because
- 6:36Speaker 1: the Broncos were in zero coverage. They had max protect
- 6:39Speaker 1: on the call Buffalo did, so they blocked everybody. Josh
- 6:43Speaker 1: Allen took one of those lway drops most where he
- 6:45Speaker 1: took like eighteen steps back, not just five, like he
- 6:48Speaker 1: just kept going back back.
- 6:49Speaker 2: But he Yeah, he wanted to find himself all kinds
- 6:52Speaker 2: of room and because he knows his arm can can
- 6:55Speaker 2: fire it.
- 6:56Speaker 1: So he's back there forever. And you're seeing this unfold
- 6:59Speaker 1: and you're seeing cook run across the middle of the
- 7:01Speaker 1: field and you're thinking, oh god, the game's over. That's
- 7:04Speaker 1: what I was thinking. The ball arrives, the game's over.
- 7:08Speaker 1: They're on the ground. The game's over. McMillan gets up
- 7:13Speaker 1: off the ground with the ball. What just happened? What
- 7:17Speaker 1: did I just see? What did I just witness? What's
- 7:19Speaker 1: going on right now? I did not know what was happening.
- 7:22Speaker 1: In fact, I thought for sure once they went to replay,
- 7:27Speaker 1: I thought they would overturn it. I thought they would
- 7:29Speaker 1: give the ball back to Buffalo because I had not
- 7:31Speaker 1: seen the angle, and there's one obvious angle that shows
- 7:36Speaker 1: it was indeed an interception. Yeah, but I don't think
- 7:40Speaker 1: those angles, guys, I don't think they exist twenty twenty
- 7:43Speaker 1: five years ago. I don't think we're having this conversation.
- 7:47Speaker 1: I think that's a catch, very much.
- 7:48Speaker 3: Of a catch. And well, victor rule is different twenty
- 7:50Speaker 3: five years ago. The rule is different.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Look this whole surviving the ground, all these different kinds
- 7:55Speaker 2: of things, it's different. But nonetheless eight this is today's NFL, dude,
- 8:00Speaker 2: and Jay Kwang did a great, great job to stay
- 8:03Speaker 2: with it.
- 8:04Speaker 4: I want to say something from all the games that
- 8:05Speaker 4: I watched over the weekend divisional round games, bo Nicks
- 8:11Speaker 4: played maybe the cleanest game of any quarterback that was
- 8:13Speaker 4: in there.
- 8:14Speaker 1: He had one bad play, that's it, one bad play,
- 8:16Speaker 1: and that was a pick at the line of scrimmage.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Other than that, I thought, you're exactly right. Well, Donald
- 8:21Speaker 1: played clean because he didn't have to do much right off.
- 8:25Speaker 3: But out of all the other quarterbacks.
- 8:27Speaker 4: I mean, you looked around the amount of turnovers between
- 8:30Speaker 4: all the different ones that were still left in that postseason,
- 8:33Speaker 4: and Josh Allen had four of them.
- 8:36Speaker 3: And I'm gonna yell about Buffalo. I did it already
- 8:38Speaker 3: in the appetise.
- 8:38Speaker 4: I'm gonna yell about it more about that those losers
- 8:41Speaker 4: in the way that they're discussing this game as if
- 8:44Speaker 4: they were robbed of something instead of having five turnovers
- 8:46Speaker 4: in a playoff game being I don't know, somewhat of
- 8:48Speaker 4: a factory.
- 8:49Speaker 1: I know, but I think you're being a little hard
- 8:52Speaker 1: on him, because if the shoe was on the other foot,
- 8:55Speaker 1: we would delve into that play much like they are.
- 8:58Speaker 1: And it didn't make matters any better. Last night when
- 9:01Speaker 1: DeVante Adams had a similar play that went the other way, I.
- 9:03Speaker 3: Don't think that was similar at all. He wasn't going
- 9:05Speaker 3: to the ground.
- 9:06Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't similar.
- 9:07Speaker 3: He wasn't going to the ground making the catch. That's
- 9:10Speaker 3: the biggest difference of all of it.
- 9:11Speaker 1: But to say it wasn't similar is are you crazy?
- 9:14Speaker 1: I mean the ball was taken from him as he's
- 9:16Speaker 1: in the middle of the catch. Now, the difference, in
- 9:18Speaker 1: my eyes was that he made a football play before
- 9:21Speaker 1: the ball was taken and his knee was on the ground. However,
- 9:25Speaker 1: to the naked eye without replay, those look like the
- 9:28Speaker 1: exact same time.
- 9:28Speaker 4: He wasn't making a catch falling towards the ground. He
- 9:31Speaker 4: had the catch while he was upright. I mean, that's
- 9:34Speaker 4: what's different, and that's what changed the entire perception of
- 9:37Speaker 4: the Cook's play.
- 9:38Speaker 3: Now.
- 9:39Speaker 4: The reason I mention all of this is because there's
- 9:42Speaker 4: one main thing you can't do in the postseason, and
- 9:44Speaker 4: every team that lost found out in a hurry.
- 9:47Speaker 3: You gotta hang on to the damn floor. You can't
- 9:49Speaker 3: turn the football over.
- 9:50Speaker 4: And they turned the football over five times. And me
- 9:52Speaker 4: and Most before the show started, Most said to me,
- 9:54Speaker 4: and I think he's right. If Buffalo doesn't turn the
- 9:57Speaker 4: ball over, they might blow you out, like they very well.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Well, when you look at all the stats top to bottom,
- 10:04Speaker 2: the first downs, the third down efficiency, the total play,
- 10:08Speaker 2: the total yards.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean everything they ran the.
- 10:11Speaker 3: Ball, they threw the ball, they did everything right. They
- 10:14Speaker 3: ran for one hundred and eighty three yard.
- 10:16Speaker 2: I mean everything they did virtually everything was better than you,
- 10:20Speaker 2: or even way better, except the most important that the
- 10:23Speaker 2: most important thing is hanging on to the day football,
- 10:26Speaker 2: and they simply couldn't do it. And you know what,
- 10:28Speaker 2: the Broncos, I'm gonna give them full credit. They took advantage.
- 10:31Speaker 2: And I'll see this. The Bonnicks pass to put the
- 10:38Speaker 2: Broncos on top late, right, it was I don't even
- 10:42Speaker 2: know how to say it. It was that one touchdown pass.
- 10:47Speaker 2: But about Bob, I'm gonna.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Get the exact which what are you talking about? The
- 10:49Speaker 1: one to men's Yeah, the one to men, Yeah, it was.
- 10:52Speaker 1: It was perfect. It made.
- 10:53Speaker 2: That was one of the prettiest passes. The twenty six
- 10:57Speaker 2: yard touchdown passed them was one of the prettiest passes
- 10:59Speaker 2: I've seen seen in a long long time.
- 11:02Speaker 1: I thought the one the little Jordan Humphrey was better.
- 11:05Speaker 3: You did which which one the one he caught or dropped?
- 11:08Speaker 1: The one he caught? The one he caught because he
- 11:10Speaker 1: throws it across the field l way.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the one he dropped on the first driveway.
- 11:14Speaker 1: That was pretty too perfect.
- 11:16Speaker 2: Listen, vic to go over the shoulder though like that
- 11:22Speaker 2: and drop it in a in a bucket, Yeah, in
- 11:25Speaker 2: that situation when you I mean, you gotta have points,
- 11:30Speaker 2: you gotta.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Can I erase a narrative very queerly?
- 11:33Speaker 2: You're losing the damn football game and he drops it
- 11:35Speaker 2: in a bucket in the end zone right there by
- 11:37Speaker 2: the pylon.
- 11:38Speaker 3: I mean, come on, man, that was an unbelievable throw.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Allow me to erase this narrative, because we have built
- 11:43Speaker 1: a narrative in this in this NFL for these you know,
- 11:46Speaker 1: legacy quarterbacks who are treated like royalty, and everybody roots
- 11:49Speaker 1: for the quarterback and not the team. And I understand
- 11:52Speaker 1: Josh Allen got the bulk of that coming into this game.
- 11:54Speaker 1: The sympathy, the empathy, the oh we love Josh, Josh.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Josh made critical mistake and he was outplayed by Bonnicks. Yes,
- 12:02Speaker 1: did you just hear what I said? Last year's MVP
- 12:05Speaker 1: all right, big bad Josh Allen Wyoming's finest. The Broncos
- 12:10Speaker 1: should have drafted him in eighteen. Everybody keeps talking about
- 12:13Speaker 1: that he was outplayed by a second year quarterback, and
- 12:16Speaker 1: it was obvious to all who watched the game. He
- 12:19Speaker 1: made the critical mistakes. He also made great plays, but
- 12:22Speaker 1: at the end of the day, five takeaways for the Bills,
- 12:26Speaker 1: the overthrow to Kincaid when the game could have ended
- 12:29Speaker 1: right there. Awful being cater knocks one of the time knocks. Okay,
- 12:35Speaker 1: the underthrown of Shakir. I don't know if you guys
- 12:37Speaker 1: remember on third and eight that led to a field
- 12:39Speaker 1: goal that could have been a touchdown, that could have
- 12:41Speaker 1: put him up by eight. Underthrow of Shakira on a
- 12:44Speaker 1: simple little pass that hit the turf. The two picks,
- 12:49Speaker 1: the one to Lock was especially bad. The fumble at
- 12:52Speaker 1: the end of the first was unacceptable to run around
- 12:57Speaker 1: with the ball like that at the end of a half,
- 13:00Speaker 1: being greedy when you didn't have the time. So you
- 13:03Speaker 1: know what I feel for Josh Allen, he cried afterwards.
- 13:06Speaker 1: Bill's fans cry.
- 13:07Speaker 4: He was one of the few that took responsibility by
- 13:09Speaker 4: the way he got out played.
- 13:11Speaker 1: And if you're a Buffalo fan listening to this show
- 13:13Speaker 1: right now and you don't look in the mirror and
- 13:15Speaker 1: say that you're lying to yourself. Josh Allen was the
- 13:19Speaker 1: second best quarterback on that field. You know what else
- 13:22Speaker 1: he had? He had a run game to help him.
- 13:25Speaker 1: He had a running back who ran it for over
- 13:27Speaker 1: one hundred yards. Do you know who the Broncos' best
- 13:29Speaker 1: running back was? Bo Knicks? You know, he led the.
- 13:33Speaker 4: Team in a rushing and there's there's a lot of
- 13:36Speaker 4: this that goes around today, and I understand there's gonna
- 13:37Speaker 4: be a lot of back and forth. What Vick is
- 13:39Speaker 4: saying is one thousand percent correct. Bo Nicks was better.
- 13:41Speaker 4: And the bummer of all of this is I thought
- 13:44Speaker 4: that Bo and I guess in fairness, look, my expectations
- 13:50Speaker 4: for Bo Nicks are much lower than they are for
- 13:53Speaker 4: Josh Allen, and so maybe it's easier for him to
- 13:55Speaker 4: hit the bar that I have set for him in
- 13:57Speaker 4: a game like that. So when I say I think
- 14:00Speaker 4: that he played fantastic, maybe it's because I'm grading a
- 14:03Speaker 4: little bit on a curve.
- 14:05Speaker 3: But make no mistake about this, this is a guy
- 14:07Speaker 3: near two that God.
- 14:12Speaker 4: They've had fits and spurts as an offense. They have
- 14:14Speaker 4: times where they look great in times where they look
- 14:16Speaker 4: downright terrible. And in the second half, guys, with two
- 14:18Speaker 4: and a half minutes left in the game, he had
- 14:20Speaker 4: forty seven total yards in the second half in a
- 14:22Speaker 4: game that you were trying to close out. That's not great,
- 14:24Speaker 4: But making a play when you have to make a play.
- 14:27Speaker 4: The biggest bummer in all of this is that he
- 14:30Speaker 4: fractures his ankle on the most nothing play at the
- 14:33Speaker 4: end of the game. And I'll tell you this much.
- 14:36Speaker 4: If he didn't do that, I think that he hits
- 14:39Speaker 4: Mims for the game winning touchdown in ot but he
- 14:42Speaker 4: couldn't drive his leg into the throw which underthrows and
- 14:45Speaker 4: then ends up being the PI.
- 14:47Speaker 3: It was a PI anyway, I mean, it was a
- 14:48Speaker 3: total pop.
- 14:49Speaker 4: But the whole thing to this is the biggest bummer
- 14:54Speaker 4: is I thought this could set up as man if
- 14:57Speaker 4: you're if you're a quarterback as young.
- 15:01Speaker 3: He's thirty years.
- 15:02Speaker 4: Old already, I mean, like as far as his NFL experience,
- 15:07Speaker 4: second year in the league. To win a game like
- 15:09Speaker 4: that would be such a massive confidence boost moving forward.
- 15:14Speaker 4: And now you can't capitalize on it because he can't
- 15:16Speaker 4: play for the rest of the year.
- 15:17Speaker 3: Well, I think it's red. It should pay the dividends
- 15:20Speaker 3: for into the future. It should.
- 15:21Speaker 2: It should, But right now they've got a look to
- 15:24Speaker 2: a guy who's got four career starts, and.
- 15:27Speaker 3: You've got Man.
- 15:29Speaker 2: And this is where as we get further on this week,
- 15:32Speaker 2: the lack of a consistent running game is gonna hurt.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Oh.
- 15:36Speaker 3: I hope Jk's back this weekend. I do too.
- 15:38Speaker 1: I don't think that he's going to that same thing.
- 15:40Speaker 1: I mean he was off to the side, yeah, last week.
- 15:44Speaker 4: And he's the one he said to Broncos fans, and
- 15:46Speaker 4: I mean, this is what he said, and take this
- 15:48Speaker 4: for what it's worth. I think it was before the
- 15:49Speaker 4: Chargers game at the end of the year. Somebody said
- 15:52Speaker 4: you're gonna be back for the for the Super Bowl
- 15:54Speaker 4: and he said sooner to him, well, there is only
- 15:56Speaker 4: one more sooner and it's this Sunday at one o'clock. So, uh,
- 16:00Speaker 4: look a ton to break down from this game, we
- 16:03Speaker 4: have Adam Schefter will join us at nine with Steve Berline,
- 16:06Speaker 4: longtime quarterback in the NFL. He's gonna join us at
- 16:08Speaker 4: nine point thirty as well. To break all of this down,
- 16:10Speaker 4: stick around Rally House Football Monday, Rally House Shop, every
- 16:13Speaker 4: team in Talents and breaking news from Adam Schefter on ESPN.
- 16:16Speaker 4: Sean McDermott has been fired as of right now, So
- 16:20Speaker 4: Buffalo fest makes that decision?
- 16:23Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I at he's you know, you got a
- 16:26Speaker 3: ride home this one? Think about it? Yeah, dude, this
- 16:30Speaker 3: one's for Buffalo. I'm not kidding.
- 16:34Speaker 4: I'm again as I tried tune the appetizer. I'm going
- 16:38Speaker 4: to contain myself as much as i can to keep
- 16:40Speaker 4: the focus on the Broncos and not yell about that
- 16:44Speaker 4: guy in particular and a lot of people from Buffalo
- 16:47Speaker 4: in their reaction to the game. I'm gonna do as
- 16:49Speaker 4: best as I can. But the fact that he went
- 16:52Speaker 4: to that postgame press conference and did this.
- 16:55Speaker 5: It's hard for me to and I've had a chance
- 16:58Speaker 5: to look at it's hard for me to understand and
- 17:00Speaker 5: why it was ruled the way it was ruled. If
- 17:02Speaker 5: it is ruled that way, then why wasn't it slowed
- 17:05Speaker 5: down just to make sure that we have this right.
- 17:10Speaker 5: That would have made a lot of sense to me
- 17:11Speaker 5: to make sure that we have this thing right, because
- 17:13Speaker 5: that's a pivotal play in the game where we have
- 17:17Speaker 5: the ball to twenty, maybe kicking a game winning field
- 17:19Speaker 5: goal right there.
- 17:20Speaker 3: So I'll just leave it at that.
- 17:22Speaker 5: But I'm doing I'm saying because I'm standing up for Buffalo,
- 17:24Speaker 5: damn it, I'm standing up for us. Is what went
- 17:28Speaker 5: on is not That is not how it should go down.
- 17:31Speaker 5: In my estimation that plays these guys spent three hours
- 17:34Speaker 5: out there playing football pouring their guts out to not
- 17:38Speaker 5: even say, hey, let's just slow this thing down.
- 17:41Speaker 1: That's where that's why I'm bothering.
- 17:42Speaker 3: The hell are you talking about?
- 17:43Speaker 4: If the call's right, what does it matter if it
- 17:45Speaker 4: takes thirty seconds or ten minutes the call's right.
- 17:47Speaker 1: Well, let me stand up for Denver Sean because eight
- 17:50Speaker 1: plays before that infamous play, eight plays before the interception
- 17:54Speaker 1: that you don't think is an interception, there was a
- 17:56Speaker 1: play that took place in the Buffalo end zone, in
- 18:00Speaker 1: their own end zone, in which Josh Allen went back
- 18:04Speaker 1: pulled up in the pocket. And you've seen it all
- 18:06Speaker 1: over Twitter now. I tweeted it. Did you see DJ
- 18:09Speaker 1: Jones basically tackled in the end zone area? The game
- 18:13Speaker 1: should have would have and could have ended right there,
- 18:16Speaker 1: which would have made all of this moot Listen, calls
- 18:19Speaker 1: are made all day. I get it, man, they're missed,
- 18:21Speaker 1: they're made. That was a blatant hold, boys, blatant.
- 18:26Speaker 4: Well, can I just say something real quick. Let's say
- 18:29Speaker 4: that that was ruled to catch. Cooks caught it, which
- 18:31Speaker 4: means you're probably hitting a chip shot field goal and
- 18:33Speaker 4: the Broncos lose. I guarantee you this morning when we
- 18:36Speaker 4: talk about that not being a hold in the end zone. Yeah,
- 18:38Speaker 4: you know what I would say is the reason why
- 18:40Speaker 4: the Broncos lost. You had the lead, had all this momentum,
- 18:44Speaker 4: you force five turnovers or I guess in this case,
- 18:47Speaker 4: it would have been four if that wasn't an interception.
- 18:49Speaker 1: Because your offense fell asleep for two quarters and.
- 18:51Speaker 4: Your offense produced forty seven yards in the second half
- 18:53Speaker 4: up until two and a half minutes left, That's why
- 18:55Speaker 4: you would lose the game.
- 18:56Speaker 3: I wouldn't be saying if it weren't for the refs.
- 18:58Speaker 4: And that's what all of these people, including him, have
- 19:01Speaker 4: been doing after the game. And I'm like, it's a
- 19:03Speaker 4: masterclass sure in not taking responsibility for the reasons why
- 19:08Speaker 4: you lost a football game.
- 19:09Speaker 3: Yeah. And the only guy, ironically that did it was
- 19:11Speaker 3: Josh Allen, which made me have even more respect for him.
- 19:14Speaker 4: He's like, I lost the game for my team, and
- 19:16Speaker 4: it's like, I know that's tough to say out loud,
- 19:18Speaker 4: but he's right.
- 19:19Speaker 1: We've become an excuse society. And case in point, I'm
- 19:22Speaker 1: gonna raise my hand. I did the same thing when
- 19:24Speaker 1: the Nuggets earlier this season lost to Portland in Portland
- 19:27Speaker 1: on that ridiculous call. Remember the jump ball call? Sure,
- 19:29Speaker 1: remember that I spent two days just going crazy about that.
- 19:33Speaker 1: But you know, you could build another argument. You can
- 19:35Speaker 1: build the argument Brett, maybe maybe the Nuggets shuldn't have
- 19:38Speaker 1: blown an eleven point lead.
- 19:40Speaker 4: Of course, it's always it should always come down to
- 19:44Speaker 4: what did you What actions did you do that caused
- 19:48Speaker 4: yourself to be put in that position. And it's like
- 19:51Speaker 4: there is no self inventory from a lot of people
- 19:54Speaker 4: in Buffalo today about why they got to the place
- 19:56Speaker 4: that they got to. And it's like they're talking about
- 19:58Speaker 4: the second past interference call, by the way, on Tardavious
- 20:01Speaker 4: White Ray chucked his helmet, was so blatant and obvious
- 20:04Speaker 4: that it had to be called because you can't tackle somebody.
- 20:07Speaker 1: Before the first one. Would you agree with me on
- 20:10Speaker 1: the PI call? The first one was weak, The first
- 20:12Speaker 1: one was a week called. The first one very much
- 20:14Speaker 1: like the like the Riley Moss call that went uncalled.
- 20:18Speaker 3: Hold on, No, the first one was weak. There was
- 20:20Speaker 3: two penalties on the play.
- 20:22Speaker 4: And if they didn't call PI, Joey Botsa hitting bon
- 20:25Speaker 4: Nicks fifty seconds after you threw the football wasn't obvious
- 20:27Speaker 4: roughing the passers.
- 20:29Speaker 1: The second one, though, that that caused all that unrest
- 20:32Speaker 1: on the field was just silly. That was the guy
- 20:35Speaker 1: got tackled. I mean, give me a break, men's got tackled.
- 20:37Speaker 1: That was stupid to even argue that one. And for
- 20:40Speaker 1: people that I trusted his business to say, you can't
- 20:42Speaker 1: make PI calls in overtime, really you can't. So it's
- 20:47Speaker 1: all bets are off. Evidently you can't call hold in
- 20:50Speaker 1: the end zone in the in the in overtime. Can't
- 20:53Speaker 1: make that call because nobody called it. Listen, I understand,
- 20:58Speaker 1: I understand the anger of Buffalo fans. I understand the
- 21:01Speaker 1: frustration because we're an impatient society. We're gonna blame somebody
- 21:05Speaker 1: when you lose. I've done it, We've all done it.
- 21:09Speaker 1: Sometimes you need time to assess everything. Go back and
- 21:12Speaker 1: look at the game. Your MVP quarterback lost that game
- 21:16Speaker 1: for you through the end.
- 21:18Speaker 4: There's no question like if you even if you don't
- 21:21Speaker 4: want to break down just the turnovers of it. You
- 21:23Speaker 4: know when that game could have should have ended ten
- 21:27Speaker 4: seconds left wide open Dawson Knox for a walk in touchdown.
- 21:31Speaker 4: You get to leave throwing up the deuce as being like,
- 21:33Speaker 4: I just pulled off a game winner at the end
- 21:35Speaker 4: of the clock, yep.
- 21:36Speaker 3: And you missed him, straight up, missed him by a lot,
- 21:39Speaker 3: by a lot. And that's why I am not here
- 21:42Speaker 3: for any.
- 21:43Speaker 4: Of these crocodile tiers from anybody in Buffalo. I'm like,
- 21:46Speaker 4: you blew the game. They very obviously. I mean, moj
- 21:51Speaker 4: we said it before the show started. If they don't
- 21:54Speaker 4: turn the ball over it, they don't make a million mistakes,
- 21:57Speaker 4: they probably win that game going away.
- 21:59Speaker 3: Like close, it's not they don't probably win the game.
- 22:02Speaker 3: They do win the game, and.
- 22:03Speaker 2: You're right, most likely it's going away. Yeah, I mean,
- 22:06Speaker 2: they're go they' gonna win that game. They were the
- 22:08Speaker 2: better football team overall, top to bottom. As we start
- 22:12Speaker 2: to go on here, I don't know how you guys
- 22:15Speaker 2: are feeling about it, but I'm still look at this point,
- 22:18Speaker 2: I can look at the raw numbers and go, oh boy,
- 22:22Speaker 2: the pair come that damn Patriots into town.
- 22:23Speaker 3: Are you serious?
- 22:25Speaker 2: By the way, they're owing four all time in playoff
- 22:27Speaker 2: games in Denver, which is a good thing, but Vic,
- 22:31Speaker 2: you gave up four hundred and fifty yards of total
- 22:33Speaker 2: offense to the Buffalo Bills. Now you may say, well
- 22:36Speaker 2: it's Josh Allen. Well, Drake May's played his butt off too.
- 22:38Speaker 2: I'm a little I'm a little nervous. I know we
- 22:40Speaker 2: have plenty of time to get to all of that.
- 22:43Speaker 2: But by the way, that one Josh Allen fumble or
- 22:47Speaker 2: he's scrambling down the field.
- 22:49Speaker 1: At the end of the half, yeah, I thought he turned.
- 22:51Speaker 1: I thought he threw it backwards like an option.
- 22:54Speaker 3: Do what didn't you think he turned it, threw it backwards?
- 22:57Speaker 1: And look, credit Nick Benito, those right, he.
- 23:00Speaker 2: Got a hand on it. Correct, But I'm like, did
- 23:02Speaker 2: he just throw that ball backwards? Hey, you want another
- 23:06Speaker 2: reason why you lose a football game? You give up
- 23:09Speaker 2: three points for no reason at the end of the half.
- 23:13Speaker 2: That makes that a ten point lead.
- 23:14Speaker 3: Uh.
- 23:14Speaker 4: The following possession, they get the ball to start the
- 23:17Speaker 4: second half, what.
- 23:18Speaker 1: Happens another fumble?
- 23:20Speaker 4: Two plays in, Nick Benito smokes him, it's another fumble
- 23:22Speaker 4: and Broncos get a field goal again.
- 23:24Speaker 3: Yep, and again you want to point six free points?
- 23:28Speaker 1: Yeah. By the way, and the frustration from the Broncos
- 23:30Speaker 1: side is you're causing all these turnovers. How the game
- 23:33Speaker 1: is already over at that point, Now you're not in
- 23:35Speaker 1: total control at that point, is you know? It's damning
- 23:38Speaker 1: for the Broncos. Now, we got all week to get
- 23:40Speaker 1: into Jarrett Stidham, and by the way I got I
- 23:44Speaker 1: got a story for you guys that I uncovered yesterday
- 23:46Speaker 1: about Stidham and how he's going to prepare for this game.
- 23:49Speaker 1: We'll get into that. I am weirdly and I say weirdly,
- 23:55Speaker 1: all right, I didn't put that last prediction on my loins.
- 23:59Speaker 1: I am weirdly confident going into the AFC title game.
- 24:04Speaker 2: I am here, you know, and you know why because
- 24:08Speaker 2: they've been living and dying by the skin of their
- 24:10Speaker 2: teeth and all they're doing is living well.
- 24:13Speaker 1: But even with a new quarterback who has not attempted
- 24:16Speaker 1: to pass, Listen to this, guys, listen to this. Jared
- 24:20Speaker 1: Stidham has not attempted to pass in two years.
- 24:25Speaker 3: Yeah, in a year season game.
- 24:29Speaker 1: In a regular season game. So it's not like he's
- 24:32Speaker 1: gonna come in on fire. And he doesn't have a
- 24:35Speaker 1: run game to lean on because most coaches would tell
- 24:38Speaker 1: you it's okay, just run the ball. So yeah, really
- 24:41Speaker 1: have you seen the run game?
- 24:43Speaker 4: So I don't know, do we want to save the
- 24:47Speaker 4: AFC Championship stuff for later in the week.
- 24:49Speaker 3: Do you just want to focus on the game today.
- 24:51Speaker 1: Well, we can get back to a little later, you know,
- 24:54Speaker 1: because it's important. It's obviously the game. I just want
- 24:57Speaker 1: to start with New England. Let's just start there. Outside
- 25:01Speaker 1: of the Lakers who come to town tomorrow night, this
- 25:05Speaker 1: is my list of most hateable teams in all of sports.
- 25:08Speaker 1: The Lakers are number one, and they will always be
- 25:10Speaker 1: number one on my list. The New England Patriots are
- 25:14Speaker 1: very close number two. Really outside of the New England area.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Is there anyone on earth, anyone in this microphone? Hold
- 25:22Speaker 1: on hello? Is there anyone in this microphone that likes
- 25:27Speaker 1: that franchise? Because I hate them? I hate them.
- 25:32Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, my hate for the Dodgers might be
- 25:37Speaker 2: a little bit ahead of the Patriots.
- 25:39Speaker 1: Although I though can't stand them.
- 25:43Speaker 2: Although you're not incorrect, Yeah, you're not You're you're not incorrect,
- 25:47Speaker 2: because nobody really likes the Patriots except Patriots people, period.
- 25:50Speaker 1: End of that foghorn that they sound off, all of
- 25:53Speaker 1: the crap, they got that tough guy image. That Dave Portnoy,
- 25:59Speaker 1: how about Fort Noise? Did you see that stuff? He
- 26:01Speaker 1: pulled after the game that I went off on him. Yep, yeah,
- 26:04Speaker 1: laughing that Bonecks got hurt, laughing mocking bone Nicks's injury.
- 26:08Speaker 3: Yep.
- 26:08Speaker 1: I mean, what kind.
- 26:09Speaker 3: Of crap is that cramp?
- 26:11Speaker 2: Hey, Brett, I don't know if you know this or not,
- 26:13Speaker 2: but that Vick and I almost got in a fight
- 26:16Speaker 2: with Patriots people.
- 26:17Speaker 3: I've heard this one. You've heard that story. Oh, I've
- 26:19Speaker 3: heard that story just I think a couple of times.
- 26:21Speaker 1: They are the absolute worst fans in sport. I mean
- 26:25Speaker 1: completely they They they call themselves by a derogatory name,
- 26:30Speaker 1: and they do so willingly.
- 26:31Speaker 3: I'm glad I reckon they do. You know. There's but
- 26:35Speaker 3: you can't believe how this.
- 26:36Speaker 2: Guy was not even involved in the conversation, this Patriots guy,
- 26:41Speaker 2: and then injects himself into the conversation. Yeah, Oh I
- 26:45Speaker 2: was mad. Oh, I was so mad at that guy.
- 26:47Speaker 3: Let me tell you something though, There's.
- 26:51Speaker 4: I don't want to get too far into this, and yes,
- 26:53Speaker 4: textures people listening.
- 26:54Speaker 2: Uh.
- 26:55Speaker 3: Sean McDermott has been fired.
- 26:57Speaker 4: So the Broncos, with their win, have ended his ten
- 27:00Speaker 4: year I think was nine years he was in Buffalo.
- 27:02Speaker 3: He's been let go this morning.
- 27:06Speaker 4: I don't know how much we want to get into
- 27:08Speaker 4: like the upcoming game, because I do want to spend
- 27:10Speaker 4: a lot of today focusing on how you got this dub.
- 27:13Speaker 4: But to vix point, he said he's weirdly optimistic about
- 27:19Speaker 4: the game coming up this weekend, even not having bo
- 27:21Speaker 4: Nicks in the game.
- 27:23Speaker 3: And I am two.
- 27:26Speaker 4: Because the Broncos are not built around a quarterback having
- 27:31Speaker 4: to win a football game for you, like they just they're.
- 27:36Speaker 3: Let me finish this, let me finish this. I understand that.
- 27:42Speaker 3: Gotta let me finish this first.
- 27:44Speaker 1: Yeah, well, okay, your initial statement's false.
- 27:48Speaker 3: Let me finish the statement.
- 27:51Speaker 4: Their team is not built around a quarterback carrying you
- 27:54Speaker 4: for four hundred passing yards a game.
- 27:56Speaker 3: That's not what they do.
- 27:57Speaker 4: That's bow Nicks, in his defense, has done the consistent
- 28:02Speaker 4: thing all year long of making plays at the end
- 28:04Speaker 4: of the game to close it. He has done that,
- 28:06Speaker 4: which is a hard and rare quality for a quarterback.
- 28:09Speaker 4: But as far as being in a game with a
- 28:11Speaker 4: chance to win, this isn't the same thing as uh, well,
- 28:17Speaker 4: if if Matthew Stafford was out for the Rams, they're
- 28:20Speaker 4: in some trouble because you just can't replace what Stafford does.
- 28:24Speaker 4: If Josh Allen was out this last game, you can't
- 28:26Speaker 4: replace what Josh Allen does.
- 28:28Speaker 2: But you know what, Brett, but you know what, Vic,
- 28:30Speaker 2: let me let me interject here. What did we want
- 28:33Speaker 2: out of the Denver Broncos and the offensive side of
- 28:36Speaker 2: the football.
- 28:37Speaker 3: What did we want?
- 28:38Speaker 2: We wanted big plays? We all have big places we did.
- 28:41Speaker 2: We also wanted to see bo Nicks use his legs. Yeah,
- 28:44Speaker 2: I need And while it wasn't a crazy total amount
- 28:48Speaker 2: of yards rushing man, did he keep things alive with
- 28:52Speaker 2: most Yeah?
- 28:53Speaker 3: He led the team in rushing.
- 28:54Speaker 1: They don't have a run game. Everybody who keeps saying, well,
- 28:57Speaker 1: commit to the run, commit to the run, commit to what?
- 29:00Speaker 1: Commit to what? Run?
- 29:02Speaker 3: Dude?
- 29:02Speaker 1: Quit? You know what?
- 29:03Speaker 3: You know what?
- 29:04Speaker 1: Broncos Country, stop it. Stop trying to say commit to
- 29:08Speaker 1: the run, because presently constituted who they have back there,
- 29:11Speaker 1: they're not going to run the ball. And the Denver
- 29:14Speaker 1: Broncos won that game with one part of their offense
- 29:18Speaker 1: tied behind their back. They bon Nicks won the game.
- 29:22Speaker 1: He had to do it without a run game.
- 29:23Speaker 2: And so now it's going to be on Juried Stidham
- 29:25Speaker 2: and I don't honestly, remember how good of a runner.
- 29:28Speaker 3: He is, Well he can't do it, bos he's not.
- 29:31Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, so mama mea but but do.
- 29:38Speaker 1: Not discount what Sean Payton has planned, agreed to game
- 29:42Speaker 1: plan wise, agreed to even the counts a little bit.
- 29:46Speaker 1: I disagree with your your whole tenant there, uh Potter
- 29:50Speaker 1: about Boon Knicks. What was your argument? Raised that argument? Again?
- 29:54Speaker 4: I just said, the Broncos are not built that is
- 29:57Speaker 4: a they aren't a quarterback solely depending team that they
- 30:01Speaker 4: have a lot of other things. That is a more
- 30:04Speaker 4: holistic style and it's not just hey, go win a
- 30:08Speaker 4: game for us, like, they aren't built that way.
- 30:10Speaker 1: Okay, I guess my counter argument would be bone Nicks
- 30:14Speaker 1: made some amazing plays to keep drives alive. And again
- 30:18Speaker 1: we talked about the throw to Mimes, the throat to
- 30:22Speaker 1: little Jordan Humphrey. Heck the what was that tackle eligible touchdown?
- 30:30Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 30:30Speaker 1: Yeah, there are a bunch of plays that he made
- 30:34Speaker 1: that you wonder, can somebody else make those plays? I
- 30:38Speaker 1: guess we're fixing to find out.
- 30:39Speaker 2: We're fixing on the other side of the football again,
- 30:43Speaker 2: you forced five turnovers or were the beneficiary of a
- 30:48Speaker 2: couple of boneheaded turnovers too. You force some, you got some,
- 30:53Speaker 2: and that defense that we all love still tied at
- 30:58Speaker 2: thirty going into overtime having given up four and fifty yards.
- 31:01Speaker 2: You know what, and I'm like, crap man, Yeah, I
- 31:05Speaker 2: just that makes me nervous.
- 31:07Speaker 3: Vic.
- 31:08Speaker 1: You know what, By the way, a Buffalo fans in
- 31:12Speaker 1: all your tears, and I understand you should be tearful
- 31:15Speaker 1: when your team loses the way it did, you should
- 31:17Speaker 1: be upset. I'd be just as upset. But as you
- 31:19Speaker 1: wipe away those tears, understand something. The Buffalo Bills management team,
- 31:23Speaker 1: their ownership group, they just answered your question for you.
- 31:27Speaker 1: While the head coach wanted to blame a specific call,
- 31:30Speaker 1: and you wanted to blame calls, and you wanted to
- 31:33Speaker 1: blame pi's and you wanted to blame blame you know who,
- 31:36Speaker 1: they blamed the head coach.
- 31:38Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 31:39Speaker 1: And you know the head coach can blame his quarterback, sure,
- 31:43Speaker 1: because that's how it works. If you take care of
- 31:45Speaker 1: the football at least mildly, you win that game. You
- 31:50Speaker 1: win that game pretty handily. By the way, if you
- 31:53Speaker 1: tell me Buffalo doesn't turn it over five times, they
- 31:55Speaker 1: didn't punt guys, guys, think about this. The Buffalo Bills
- 31:59Speaker 1: lost a game in which they didn't punt. Yeah, they
- 32:05Speaker 1: blame your coach, blame your quarterback.
- 32:07Speaker 3: A lot more to get to here, Rally House Football.
- 32:09Speaker 2: Mind, you can't fire the quarterback, but you can't fire
- 32:11Speaker 2: the coach.
- 32:13Speaker 3: Keep in mind is Martin Luther King Day.
- 32:15Speaker 4: So happy Martin Luther King Day to everybody out there.
- 32:18Speaker 4: And with that, the ass take on Washington with a
- 32:20Speaker 4: special two pm start time. He can tune in AM
- 32:23Speaker 4: nine p fifty starting at one thirty for pregame powered
- 32:26Speaker 4: by Ramos Lawback after this to Rally House Football Monday,
- 32:30Speaker 4: Adam Schefter at nine o'clock this morning, Steve Berline at
- 32:33Speaker 4: nine to thirty.
- 32:34Speaker 3: Can I give some love here? I want to give
- 32:37Speaker 3: some love.
- 32:39Speaker 2: Well, there's a big old offensive lineman six seven and
- 32:44Speaker 2: three point fifteen, big old tackle, Frank Crumb, twenty five
- 32:47Speaker 2: years of age, catching that tackle option pass, rummel it
- 32:51Speaker 2: into the end zone, got pasted by a linebacker. By
- 32:54Speaker 2: the way, it's still held out of the ball about
- 32:56Speaker 2: to catch. Dude, I like a twenty five year old
- 33:02Speaker 2: named Frank. To me, that's that's that's it's like, you know,
- 33:07Speaker 2: what I mean, it's like Harold if his name is
- 33:09Speaker 2: Harold Crumb.
- 33:10Speaker 3: Yeah, that's like a twenty five year old. Hey, what's
- 33:12Speaker 3: your name? Frank Walter?
- 33:15Speaker 1: We think here Detroit Lions for installing that play because
- 33:18Speaker 1: Johnny Morton, according to Sean Payton, came in last week
- 33:21Speaker 1: and helped develop that play for the game.
- 33:24Speaker 4: Couldn't pull any of those off for my team this year,
- 33:26Speaker 4: but it's nice that he pulled it off for yours.
- 33:28Speaker 3: He recently fired.
- 33:29Speaker 2: Johnny Morton comes in installs the play into the Broncos offense.
- 33:34Speaker 2: But it was it was terrific. I mean, it caught
- 33:36Speaker 2: me by surprise. I didn't even hear that he reported eligible.
- 33:41Speaker 1: He neither. So coming up at nine point thirty, we're
- 33:43Speaker 1: gonna hear from Steve Berline, a friend of mine who
- 33:46Speaker 1: is a long time backup quarterback in this league. He's
- 33:48Speaker 1: had many many runs where he's had to fill in.
- 33:50Speaker 1: He filled in very admirably for Troy Aikman during their
- 33:54Speaker 1: Super Bowl seasons. Yep, if anyone knows what it's like
- 33:57Speaker 1: to come in and play that position and be the
- 33:59Speaker 1: sub of a ton of pressure, Steve knows, and maybe
- 34:02Speaker 1: get some insight about what is going through the mind
- 34:06Speaker 1: of Jared'stidham this this week, because it's not gonna be easy. Now.
- 34:10Speaker 1: My original idea, guys, I wanted to actually get Ben Denucci.
- 34:13Speaker 1: Yesterday I was like, how do I get a hold
- 34:15Speaker 1: of Ben de Nucci? Because I know he lives in Denver.
- 34:17Speaker 1: He did a video playing in a flag football league.
- 34:20Speaker 1: He's still here somewhere, I think.
- 34:21Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden he's doing CBS stuff too.
- 34:24Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden the Broncos signed him
- 34:26Speaker 1: to the roster.
- 34:27Speaker 3: Yep, you know what's funny?
- 34:28Speaker 1: Go back. He tweeted something during the game about those
- 34:31Speaker 1: pis and he said, just unnecessary pis. He called him
- 34:35Speaker 1: as soon as he was signed by the Broncos, he
- 34:39Speaker 1: deleted that tweet.
- 34:40Speaker 4: Good for him, good for him, super smart. I gotta
- 34:45Speaker 4: tell you, there's the Stidham entering for bon Nick's thing
- 34:51Speaker 4: with you know, hopefully two games left to go in
- 34:53Speaker 4: the season, and maybe this is a better way to
- 34:57Speaker 4: put it.
- 35:00Speaker 3: This offense has.
- 35:04Speaker 4: I mean most you read a text earlier saying the
- 35:06Speaker 4: Broncos are having like the luckiest season ever, and I
- 35:08Speaker 4: would say there is certainly luck that's baked into the
- 35:11Speaker 4: cake here. There's also like when you see an opportunity
- 35:14Speaker 4: to capitalize, they've capitalized, Like there is a create your
- 35:17Speaker 4: own luck and be clutch and that sort of thing too. Sure,
- 35:20Speaker 4: but I remember last year when the Chiefs were what
- 35:22Speaker 4: were they like twelve to zero in one score games
- 35:24Speaker 4: or something like that. I go, there's luck that is
- 35:27Speaker 4: involved in that, because you need everything when a game's
- 35:29Speaker 4: closed to go your way at the right time. And
- 35:31Speaker 4: the Broncos have had the sunshines shining on them for
- 35:36Speaker 4: really this entire season, and say any situations like that. Sure,
- 35:41Speaker 4: but in this scenario, the reason why I think that
- 35:46Speaker 4: you can you have a chance at surviving this with
- 35:49Speaker 4: your backup quarterback is because of the way you've been winning.
- 35:54Speaker 4: The one X factor is can you make plays in
- 35:56Speaker 4: the clutch like bow knicks can? And that's something we
- 35:59Speaker 4: don't know do. I think that Jared s Didham will
- 36:02Speaker 4: be able to keep you in a football game, absolutely,
- 36:05Speaker 4: because you've been keeping in football games with eleven.
- 36:08Speaker 3: To eight scores. Yeah, but it's your defense. Your defense
- 36:11Speaker 3: can keep you in any game. Yeah. Yeah.
- 36:14Speaker 1: Someone on the twitch feed said it perfectly and it's
- 36:16Speaker 1: exactly what I was thinking watching that Houston New England
- 36:19Speaker 1: game yesterday. All Jared's Didham needs to do is avoid
- 36:22Speaker 1: what CJ. Stroud did, and that just give the ball away. Yeah,
- 36:26Speaker 1: just here you go, Hey, here you want this, Here
- 36:30Speaker 1: you go, CJ. Stroud. His performance was one of the
- 36:34Speaker 1: worst I've seen in a clutch situation a long time dude.
- 36:37Speaker 4: In both wild card games, he was miserable both of
- 36:40Speaker 4: the games.
- 36:41Speaker 1: I mean, he was bad. So all Jared's did him
- 36:44Speaker 1: has to Here's the problem though, all right, so Houston
- 36:46Speaker 1: could not establish a run game New England snuffed out
- 36:48Speaker 1: the run, so they had to throw the ball. He
- 36:51Speaker 1: lost all confidence throwing the ball. We don't know what
- 36:54Speaker 1: Jared's Didham can do in the situation. He's never been
- 36:56Speaker 1: in it. Now here's what you're gonna hear this week. Well,
- 37:00Speaker 1: Patriots have no film on Jared's Sidham. Don't be silly.
- 37:05Speaker 1: Stop right there. He was drafted by the Patriots number one.
- 37:08Speaker 1: His best game as a pro came in twenty twenty two,
- 37:12Speaker 1: when he played for the Raiders. He threw for three
- 37:14Speaker 1: hundred and seventy six yards, three tds and an overtime
- 37:17Speaker 1: loss to the Niners. As a Raider, his coach was
- 37:20Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels. You don't think Josh McDaniels knows what Jared
- 37:24Speaker 1: Stinhon can do and do well. They know each other.
- 37:28Speaker 1: It's fine. You just got to find another level with
- 37:31Speaker 1: Sean Payton.
- 37:32Speaker 3: At the control.
- 37:32Speaker 4: You want to hear something crazy about Jared sim By
- 37:34Speaker 4: the way, do you know he threw a touchdown pass
- 37:37Speaker 4: to DT in New England?
- 37:40Speaker 1: Did he really?
- 37:41Speaker 3: Yeah? That's interesting.
- 37:43Speaker 4: You get one of those starts like towards the end
- 37:45Speaker 4: of the year through the sound past to Dumarius.
- 37:47Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, that's actually really kind of cool.
- 37:50Speaker 4: But you know again, I want to save a lot
- 37:54Speaker 4: of this like looking ahead at the Patriots stuff for later,
- 37:56Speaker 4: because they do want to highlight a couple of guys
- 37:58Speaker 4: that Ulfonga is one of the most fun and exciting players.
- 38:06Speaker 4: The amount of plays that he made in that game. Dude,
- 38:09Speaker 4: when he hit I don't know if it was Kincaid
- 38:11Speaker 4: or Knox, it was one of the time.
- 38:12Speaker 3: But when he blew him and them. He's everywhere all
- 38:16Speaker 3: the time, constantly making.
- 38:18Speaker 1: Plays about Malcolm Roach and and Zach Allen up front
- 38:21Speaker 1: making plays yep, now listen, I thought as a whole
- 38:25Speaker 1: the front seven in the first half, they got beat
- 38:28Speaker 1: because the Bills ran the ball. They did pretty easily,
- 38:32Speaker 1: and then they figured it out. They started plugging those holes,
- 38:37Speaker 1: and at the end of the day, Josh Allen gave
- 38:40Speaker 1: it up. He gave the ball up, and that's why
- 38:41Speaker 1: they lost. I still got people on the text line
- 38:44Speaker 1: seven to five one two of Colorado Springs Area Code
- 38:48Speaker 1: defending Josh Allen calling the Broncos lucky lucky all year,
- 38:53Speaker 1: saying quote, come on, guys, Josh had a beat up
- 38:56Speaker 1: team in five turnovers and still almost won. Lol. Get
- 39:00Speaker 1: out of here with this beat up team. Crap, because
- 39:02Speaker 1: you know what. One quarter into this game, Bo Knicks
- 39:05Speaker 1: lost two of his top receivers. He lost Pat Bryan
- 39:08Speaker 1: on the opening series dude cut the first three passes
- 39:11Speaker 1: of the game. He lost Troy Franklin, one of his
- 39:13Speaker 1: sturdy receivers, out with a get out of here. He
- 39:16Speaker 1: has no run game to lean on. None. At least
- 39:20Speaker 1: Josh Allen had a run game to lean on. He
- 39:22Speaker 1: was out of here.
- 39:23Speaker 3: Wasn't it?
- 39:23Speaker 4: Was it the final drive where they scored a touchdown
- 39:27Speaker 4: to go up late in that game. Wasn't the third
- 39:29Speaker 4: string mustafer playing center right?
- 39:32Speaker 1: I don't want to hear that crap because both teams
- 39:34Speaker 1: are going through it. And to give you better, give
- 39:37Speaker 1: bow his flowers because he deserved him and all this,
- 39:40Speaker 1: you know, TJ. Ward said at best, he said, everybody's
- 39:43Speaker 1: crying for Josh Allen, cry for bow Knicks. He played
- 39:47Speaker 1: his butt off, won the game, and he can't even
- 39:48Speaker 1: play in the next game. And this is your sympathy.
- 39:51Speaker 2: This is a real bummer if you're just talking about
- 39:52Speaker 2: being a football fan, not even necessarily a Broncos fan,
- 39:55Speaker 2: although maybe you wanted to see it. Hey man, the
- 39:59Speaker 2: den of seeing these two same draft class quarterbacks going
- 40:04Speaker 2: head to head in the AFC title game.
- 40:06Speaker 3: That's a real friggin bummer to me.
- 40:08Speaker 2: Can I that's that's a that's a that's a real bummer. Look,
- 40:11Speaker 2: I don't, I don't. I don't like the Patriots at all,
- 40:15Speaker 2: zero like with them, although I respect the heck out
- 40:18Speaker 2: of Drake Drake maydel Man, he's a vic This young
- 40:21Speaker 2: quarterback's pretty damn good. I hope the Broncos make his
- 40:24Speaker 2: life miserable.
- 40:25Speaker 4: Can I see something about the Josh Allen thing too?
- 40:27Speaker 4: And and I like Josh Allen, you know, he's crying
- 40:31Speaker 4: in his press conference post game. He's one of the
- 40:35Speaker 4: few that actually took personal responsibility for their performance, and
- 40:38Speaker 4: so I respect him for that. The narrative surrounding him
- 40:42Speaker 4: is very weird. And I'm somebody that I say this
- 40:46Speaker 4: all the time, and you guys know this about me,
- 40:47Speaker 4: that quarterback wins stat and and you know, saying a
- 40:51Speaker 4: guy can't win the big game.
- 40:52Speaker 3: I think a lot of that's nonsense.
- 40:54Speaker 4: I think there's a million different factors that go into
- 40:57Speaker 4: why a quarterbacks team wins or loses. Like I don't
- 41:00Speaker 4: think Dan Marino was a bad quarterback because he never
- 41:03Speaker 4: got to or won a Super Bowl or whatever. But
- 41:07Speaker 4: for Josh Allen to have that game in which he
- 41:11Speaker 4: turned the ball over four times, he misses a wide
- 41:14Speaker 4: open Dawson Knox for the game winning touchdown at the
- 41:17Speaker 4: end of the fourth quarter, He missed on a couple
- 41:21Speaker 4: of other throws. He has the terrible fumble that led
- 41:24Speaker 4: to a field goal before the end of the half,
- 41:26Speaker 4: which was just it's mind numbing for.
- 41:29Speaker 3: The narrative surrounding him, being like.
- 41:34Speaker 4: A majority of people are doing the God, don't you
- 41:37Speaker 4: feel bad for Josh Allen thing? As opposed to what
- 41:40Speaker 4: we usually do with quarterbacks in this scenario, do you
- 41:43Speaker 4: think anybody is saying, you know, I feel really bad
- 41:45Speaker 4: for this morning?
- 41:46Speaker 3: Is CJ.
- 41:46Speaker 4: Stroud were like No, he played like ass and he
- 41:48Speaker 4: deserved everything that came his way. I don't get how
- 41:52Speaker 4: Josh Allen has sort of skirted how we usually talk
- 41:54Speaker 4: about quarterbacks.
- 41:55Speaker 2: Well, I guess I think it's partly because of this,
- 41:58Speaker 2: because people recognize how good he is a player.
- 42:00Speaker 3: Okay, but doesn't that make it?
- 42:03Speaker 2: Yes, listen, and he's been there, and he's been there,
- 42:05Speaker 2: and he's been there, and he can't get over that hump.
- 42:07Speaker 2: He had every opportunity to get over his own private
- 42:11Speaker 2: hump yesterday. Yes, he had every chance to get over
- 42:14Speaker 2: his own private company. He didn't do it at some point.
- 42:17Speaker 2: So yeah, and vict this is again, it's starting to
- 42:22Speaker 2: feel very much Elway like.
- 42:23Speaker 3: As time goes on here.
- 42:25Speaker 1: What do you mean Elway got to the Super Bowl
- 42:27Speaker 1: three times? Understood?
- 42:28Speaker 3: This?
- 42:28Speaker 1: Don't even compare that to got a team of You're
- 42:31Speaker 1: right of nobody's at times. This guy can't even get
- 42:34Speaker 1: past the AFC time. But I don't want to hear that.
- 42:36Speaker 3: Okay, Hang, can you just settle down for one second.
- 42:40Speaker 2: It's the very very very very good quarterback just can't
- 42:45Speaker 2: get it done all though, just can't get it done. Now, Yeah,
- 42:48Speaker 2: Elway got you there, and he was the reason that
- 42:50Speaker 2: they got there, but they had no chance in those
- 42:53Speaker 2: games and get smoked Bro. So it's I mean, it's
- 42:56Speaker 2: just it's feeling the same kind of thing. And maybe
- 42:58Speaker 2: people have maybe that's why they have sympathy for and Bro.
- 43:01Speaker 4: But you couldn't have hand picked a better route to
- 43:04Speaker 4: try and get your first Super Bowl than all of
- 43:06Speaker 4: the quarterbacks of previously standing in your way are out.
- 43:09Speaker 1: In fact, had they won that game, I think they're
- 43:12Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. I think they beat New England
- 43:14Speaker 1: in Foxborough.
- 43:17Speaker 3: They do well.
- 43:19Speaker 1: I think they do. I just think they've done it before.
- 43:24Speaker 1: They did it earlier this season, he overcame a twenty
- 43:27Speaker 1: one to nothing deficit to beat the Patriots in Foxborough.
- 43:30Speaker 1: But listen, listen, he's had multiple runs at this He's
- 43:34Speaker 1: had the ball in his hands on three occasions to
- 43:38Speaker 1: win the game.
- 43:39Speaker 4: Yeah, three occasions Like if this if this game played
- 43:43Speaker 4: out the way it did a few years back where
- 43:44Speaker 4: he played against Kansas City and the end of that
- 43:46Speaker 4: game that was like twenty eight points and two minutes
- 43:48Speaker 4: on both sides or whatever, right, Like, that's that's when
- 43:51Speaker 4: we're like, I feel bad for him. Like he did
- 43:52Speaker 4: everything he could win the game. He did everything he
- 43:54Speaker 4: could lose this game, sure, everything, And that's enough of
- 43:58Speaker 4: Josh Allen anyway?
- 44:00Speaker 2: Are you maybe fascinated by the by the narrative surrounding him,
- 44:03Speaker 2: But he's sending it home, dude, this team's moving on.
- 44:06Speaker 3: We don't.
- 44:07Speaker 4: We never discussed quarterbacks the way that he's being discussed
- 44:10Speaker 4: right now, where he basically blows the game for his
- 44:12Speaker 4: and everybody's got sympathy.
- 44:14Speaker 2: Let me say this though, what did he do in
- 44:16Speaker 2: his post game? He had his gear.
- 44:18Speaker 3: No, that's what I'm saying. He took personal responsibility. What
- 44:21Speaker 3: else did he do?
- 44:21Speaker 1: He cried?
- 44:22Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, he's he feels, I think to people like
- 44:25Speaker 2: a wholesome person. He's a good dude, A good dude,
- 44:29Speaker 2: A wholesome dude.
- 44:30Speaker 3: Nothing personal. Yeah, I'm just saying that.
- 44:32Speaker 2: This is why Brendon All plays into that sympathy factor.
- 44:36Speaker 4: Did anybody like, did Bonnicks talk at all to anyone
- 44:39Speaker 4: after the game or did he just boogey straight out
- 44:41Speaker 4: to Alabama?
- 44:44Speaker 3: Was there anything from Bonnicks.
- 44:45Speaker 1: After the game. No, he didn't speak to the media
- 44:47Speaker 1: when Viddi has surgery tomorrow. Surgery tomorrow in Alabama. So
- 44:52Speaker 1: I'm sure he's already there getting on it. Maybe with
- 44:55Speaker 1: the outside chance. I listen, surgery, surgery, you break your ankle.
- 44:58Speaker 1: I don't know what. I'm very interested to find out
- 45:01Speaker 1: what part of his body. First of all, this all unfolded.
- 45:04Speaker 1: We're doing the postgame show on Altitude and we're about
- 45:07Speaker 1: to wrap it up. We got five minutes left in
- 45:09Speaker 1: the show.
- 45:09Speaker 3: I saw it, Vick. I saw it, and I'm like,
- 45:11Speaker 3: I was watching you and I'm like, no way.
- 45:14Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. When I saw it, I thought
- 45:15Speaker 1: it was the Luka Doncic thing all over again. I
- 45:17Speaker 1: thought it was fake news. I'm just reading my twitter
- 45:20Speaker 1: board here as I'm talking to coach Sandford and Rachel Vehil.
- 45:24Speaker 1: We're about to wrap this puppy up. And then I
- 45:27Speaker 1: read a couple tweets about Sean Payton returning to the
- 45:31Speaker 1: podium to address the media, and then I read bon
- 45:34Speaker 1: Nicks out for the season, and I double take him, like, wait, yeah,
- 45:38Speaker 1: this is fake news?
- 45:39Speaker 3: What is this?
- 45:40Speaker 1: And then again and again and again. I couldn't believe
- 45:44Speaker 1: my eyes. The reason why it was so shocking, so stunning,
- 45:48Speaker 1: the reason why we were left flabbergasted is because there
- 45:51Speaker 1: were no signs of injury. Nobody noticed that. You may
- 45:54Speaker 1: have seen them limp, guys limp all the time. They
- 45:56Speaker 1: have knickknack injuries. Right, He didn't say anything. They'd didn't
- 46:00Speaker 1: say anything.
- 46:00Speaker 2: No, I mean he talked to Tracy Wolfson after the
- 46:02Speaker 2: game for crying out loud.
- 46:04Speaker 3: You know, she tweeted out that she thought it was
- 46:06Speaker 3: a knee. She mentioned the knee, right like.
- 46:09Speaker 2: Okay's like, yeah, it's it's fine, you know, but she
- 46:12Speaker 2: she's like, you're not smiling. He's like, well, that was
- 46:14Speaker 2: a really intense game. Well, he was in pain standing
- 46:16Speaker 2: on the field doing his interview. I'm sure he all
- 46:18Speaker 2: that adrenaline running. He had no idea and most how
- 46:21Speaker 2: bad it was.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Injuries are so crazy. I went back and looked at
- 46:24Speaker 1: the play over and I must have looked at it
- 46:25Speaker 1: one hundred times. Agreed, I just can't see it.
- 46:28Speaker 4: I can't seem so ESPN. I watched yesterday ESPN before
- 46:34Speaker 4: the early game. They they showed the replay. It was
- 46:38Speaker 4: from behind bow Nicks and then they do that I
- 46:41Speaker 4: don't know what that thing is, but it's like the
- 46:42Speaker 4: circle magnifier thing. And they showed his right foot and
- 46:47Speaker 4: he went to take a step and literally stepped on
- 46:49Speaker 4: like the point of his foot and it looks like
- 46:51Speaker 4: you just sprained your ankle. But that's the only one
- 46:54Speaker 4: that I saw that. It's like, oh, I actually can
- 46:56Speaker 4: see what happened.
- 46:57Speaker 1: But Hollywood already did a movie about Sean Payton, all right,
- 47:02Speaker 1: they already did this movie. Who's the guy that started it?
- 47:05Speaker 3: Kevin James?
- 47:05Speaker 1: Kevin James. If Sean Peyton can coach up Jared Stidham
- 47:10Speaker 1: and lead this team to a Super Bowl appearance, not
- 47:13Speaker 1: even the Super Bowl win a Super Bowl appearance, I
- 47:16Speaker 1: think a sequel should be made immediately.
- 47:20Speaker 3: Can we get somebody else to play him?
- 47:22Speaker 4: I love Kevin James. I have no interest in seeing
- 47:26Speaker 4: the movie he did, and I never will.
- 47:28Speaker 1: I've never seen it either.
- 47:30Speaker 3: I haven't seen it either.
- 47:32Speaker 1: Who do you want Brad.
- 47:32Speaker 3: Pitt Well if he if he wins a Super Bowl?
- 47:35Speaker 3: I want somebody with yes, no, no, no.
- 47:38Speaker 2: If Sean Sean Payton, he's like, I think George Clooney
