- 2:10Speaker 2: k how at the Crew DT. I I've got some
- 2:14Speaker 2: things to get off my chest. You know, it's my
- 2:16Speaker 2: number one favorite topic since Nickel City Crew excuse me
- 2:20Speaker 2: has been has been born. I'll at the crew, man,
- 2:24Speaker 2: I got some things to say, man.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Rob, you see the black you see the black hat.
- 2:30Speaker 1: You know some ship you're right.
- 2:31Speaker 3: About ball Man. I don't know about this tone, Rob.
- 2:35Speaker 4: We'll see, like you know, ten and three, a lot
- 2:38Speaker 4: of a lot of things still still to come this season.
- 2:41Speaker 4: But yeah, let's let's get into it. I don't know
- 2:43Speaker 4: about that tone, Rob, I don't know about that tone.
- 2:45Speaker 3: It's been a week. It's been a week we're going
- 2:48Speaker 3: into a big game. Let's let's let's go oh.
- 2:51Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. Well.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Before we get into the big game, obviously, the Bills
- 2:54Speaker 2: play against uh the what is eleven or twelve and
- 2:57Speaker 2: one Detroit Lions on Sunday at four thirty four to
- 3:02Speaker 2: twenty five.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Whatever case may be.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Before we can move forward, DT, let's take a step
- 3:06Speaker 2: and look backwards and check out the game that we
- 3:09Speaker 2: just came off, and you know, it's a loss to
- 3:12Speaker 2: the La Rams. I think it's the highest I think, DT,
- 3:14Speaker 2: they said the highest scoring game of the season. Really
- 3:18Speaker 2: one of those instant classics that you would put on
- 3:21Speaker 2: ESPN Classic back in the day.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Josh Allen obviously.
- 3:24Speaker 2: We talked about at nauseum a couple weeks ago, and
- 3:28Speaker 2: he was electric and wonderful and did everything that he
- 3:31Speaker 2: needed to do to try to get his team to win.
- 3:33Speaker 2: A common thread sometimes in these situations, DT is his
- 3:36Speaker 2: head coach who sometimes lets him down. And I wanted
- 3:39Speaker 2: to get your opinions on it, because there are not one,
- 3:43Speaker 2: but a bunch of different decisions.
- 3:45Speaker 1: That I gotta look at critically. DT.
- 3:48Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I know that you're not the fondest of
- 3:51Speaker 2: Sean McDermott, but you're definitely more fond of him than
- 3:55Speaker 2: I am in respects to the criticism that comes his way.
- 3:58Speaker 1: DT. I heard WG all week long.
- 4:00Speaker 2: I heard you know, different national pundits all week long,
- 4:05Speaker 2: and everybody's kind of been batting this thing around like
- 4:07Speaker 2: a cat with a ball of yarn.
- 4:10Speaker 1: DT, We've got different situations throughout this game.
- 4:13Speaker 2: As the game started to come to a close where
- 4:16Speaker 2: I literally just sat back and said, what the.
- 4:18Speaker 1: You know, WTF, Like, what are you doing? Man?
- 4:21Speaker 2: And I'm being honest, et what are you doing? And
- 4:24Speaker 2: it kind of led to the way that I led
- 4:26Speaker 2: and named the episode tonight. But DT, bills are on defense.
- 4:31Speaker 2: We haven't stopped them all day long. I think the
- 4:33Speaker 2: stat came out DT that it was eleven of fifteen
- 4:37Speaker 2: third down conversions for the Rams. So any confidence in
- 4:42Speaker 2: your defense I think is misplaced and misguided in that respect.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Bills are driving, excuse me, rams are driving. They get
- 4:51Speaker 2: a penalty. I think it's third and seven. Sean McDermott
- 4:55Speaker 2: has the choice. It's a holding call. Holding call would
- 4:58Speaker 2: drop him to third and seventeen or let them go
- 5:01Speaker 2: on fourth down and see if they're gonna kick that
- 5:03Speaker 2: field goal. I described it on Twitter DT as inviting
- 5:07Speaker 2: them to kick the field goal. Let's invite them to
- 5:10Speaker 2: kick the field goal. Now it turns out Sean McDermott
- 5:13Speaker 2: accepts the penalty, takes them back to thirty and seventeen.
- 5:16Speaker 2: They get twelve yards anyway, which means they gained two
- 5:18Speaker 2: yards in net yardage of what would have been versus
- 5:22Speaker 2: what was And they go for it anyway on fourth
- 5:24Speaker 2: down and they, you know, the defense was suspect all day.
- 5:27Speaker 1: They still get that first down, DT.
- 5:29Speaker 3: They scored a touchdown.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Yes, they not only converted yes, so that fourth down,
- 5:34Speaker 2: but they went down and go and went ahead and
- 5:35Speaker 2: scored a touchdown to go up by nine. My thing
- 5:38Speaker 2: was that why not invite them to kick the field
- 5:41Speaker 2: goal on fourth and seven and preserve the clock by
- 5:46Speaker 2: declining the penalty. What you're doing is you're saying that
- 5:48Speaker 2: I have faith in my defense. Defense hadn't been worth
- 5:51Speaker 2: the dam all day. It's just weird, man. It's like
- 5:54Speaker 2: the inverse of the Houston game. Josh Allen played his
- 5:58Speaker 2: worst possible game that we've ever seen him play against Houston.
- 6:01Speaker 2: So why are you gonna throw throw the ball three
- 6:03Speaker 2: times out of the end zone to win. He hasn't
- 6:05Speaker 2: been playing well that day. Why don't you just play
- 6:06Speaker 2: for overtime and find a way to extend this game.
- 6:09Speaker 1: It's the inverse in this particular situation. Use the clock.
- 6:13Speaker 1: The clock is what you need because you're down.
- 6:15Speaker 2: By at that point, you were down by two, but
- 6:18Speaker 2: you were going to be close to down by nine.
- 6:20Speaker 1: That we didn't know at the time. DT.
- 6:22Speaker 2: It was weird. And I've other shit for you as well,
- 6:24Speaker 2: but that was weird to me. Man, that was weird.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Said that. That was weirder than the goal is shit
- 6:31Speaker 1: that we're getting ready to talk about.
- 6:32Speaker 3: What yard line were they on for that?
- 6:34Speaker 1: Oh? Man, I don't know.
- 6:36Speaker 2: It was gonna be It was going to be a
- 6:37Speaker 2: forty a high forty yarder. It was good if you
- 6:40Speaker 2: invite them to kick, it was going to be a
- 6:42Speaker 2: high forty yard Okay.
- 6:43Speaker 4: So then accepting the third and seventeen, that puts them
- 6:48Speaker 4: if if they don't get any yards, that puts some
- 6:50Speaker 4: high fifties then yes, correct soft Yeah, I mean this
- 6:57Speaker 4: is a you can't have the confidence in the d
- 7:00Speaker 4: because you didn't make one stop the whole day. So
- 7:04Speaker 4: the fact of you know what were they going for there, right,
- 7:07Speaker 4: They were going to push them back and try to
- 7:09Speaker 4: get them out of field goal range more or less.
- 7:11Speaker 1: Right, that's what That's what mco said, That's what you
- 7:13Speaker 1: coach said, try.
- 7:14Speaker 4: To try to get him out of field goal range.
- 7:16Speaker 4: But then you gotta you gotta have you know, the
- 7:19Speaker 4: joker in the deck. You gotta have that one defensive play,
- 7:22Speaker 4: that one scheme that they haven't seen. You know, that's
- 7:25Speaker 4: gonna guarantee. No, nothing's guaranteed, but you know what I mean,
- 7:28Speaker 4: something that is different to to make that stop. They
- 7:33Speaker 4: they're probably not going for it on fourth and seven.
- 7:35Speaker 4: They're kicking that field goal, I think, so to go
- 7:38Speaker 4: out five because then, like you said, then if they
- 7:41Speaker 4: don't get it, they're only up to giving Josh on
- 7:44Speaker 4: the ball with like what three minutes left, yes, on
- 7:47Speaker 4: the forty yard line.
- 7:49Speaker 3: You know that's that's as good as.
- 7:51Speaker 2: They would would have gone up six. They would have
- 7:53Speaker 2: gone up six if they attempted the field goal. They
- 7:55Speaker 2: were going up six because they scored.
- 7:56Speaker 4: But I'm saying, go for it. If so we declined
- 7:59Speaker 4: the penalty and they go for it on fourth and seven.
- 8:02Speaker 4: Problem kicking they're probably, that's what I mean, Yes, and
- 8:04Speaker 4: they would have gone up. That would have put them
- 8:06Speaker 4: up six. I'm pretty sure it. And then they get
- 8:12Speaker 4: into fourth and fourth and five and it's almost guaranteed
- 8:15Speaker 4: that they're going for it. So but then they're not
- 8:18Speaker 4: going for it on fourth and seven. They're going for
- 8:20Speaker 4: it on fourth and five, but they're not going for
- 8:21Speaker 4: it on four.
- 8:22Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, I understand.
- 8:25Speaker 4: Knowing that they haven't got to stop all day, I
- 8:28Speaker 4: don't know. That's that's tough.
- 8:31Speaker 1: That's a little okay, third.
- 8:34Speaker 4: And seventeen, no matter what the previous game has given you,
- 8:39Speaker 4: no matter what the bullshit you've performed up until that point,
- 8:44Speaker 4: third and seventeen, you gotta find a way, right, you
- 8:47Speaker 4: got to find a way to at least go there.
- 8:50Speaker 4: And so that's you know, the decision obviously on Sean McDermott.
- 8:54Speaker 4: But you know, we go all the way back to
- 8:55Speaker 4: the beginning of this game, like, yes, we can break down,
- 8:59Speaker 4: which we will.
- 8:59Speaker 3: I'm you know, you're you're on.
- 9:03Speaker 4: Well, you know, every every negative or every positive goes
- 9:10Speaker 4: back to the line of scrimmage, and the defensive line
- 9:14Speaker 4: was that by far their worst game. Well, the defense's
- 9:16Speaker 4: worst game of the year. But I've never seen the
- 9:18Speaker 4: defensive line get pushed around like that.
- 9:20Speaker 3: They were.
- 9:21Speaker 4: They weren't even close to Matt Stafford, who is far
- 9:24Speaker 4: from a mobile you know, youngster, you know, like like
- 9:27Speaker 4: you used to be. And they didn't even sniff them.
- 9:29Speaker 4: This is like prime you know, Mahomes in the AFC
- 9:33Speaker 4: Championship game against us like this, we didn't even get
- 9:36Speaker 4: close to this dude, and obviously that led to a comfort,
- 9:40Speaker 4: that led to something. So I mean, you're putting it
- 9:44Speaker 4: on them on third and seventeen, all right, give me
- 9:46Speaker 4: one play, like one play to get to this dude.
- 9:48Speaker 4: They're out of field goal range. We get the ball
- 9:50Speaker 4: back down to we go down. We win a messy
- 9:53Speaker 4: one on the road, you know, cross country trip after
- 9:57Speaker 4: after winning our division, earliest that's ever you know, the
- 10:00Speaker 4: Bills have ever done it, and in the snow the
- 10:04Speaker 4: week before, we travel across the country. A little I
- 10:06Speaker 4: think a little hangover, right, a little hangover of maybe
- 10:11Speaker 4: of riches and knowing not necessarily taking the foot off
- 10:14Speaker 4: the gas because they scored forty two points and Josh
- 10:16Speaker 4: Allen looked as good as he ever has. But I
- 10:20Speaker 4: don't know I I don't hate the I'm not just
- 10:24Speaker 4: gonna disagree with you to disagree with you all night,
- 10:27Speaker 4: but I don't hate the idea. I like third and
- 10:29Speaker 4: seventeen from the fifty yard line, I or the forty
- 10:32Speaker 4: five yards line.
- 10:33Speaker 2: Fourth quarter though, and the clock is the most important thing.
- 10:38Speaker 2: Is The only way I could push back at you
- 10:40Speaker 2: is that it's not really about the score.
- 10:42Speaker 1: It's about the clock.
- 10:44Speaker 2: So why are we giving them another opportunity another play.
- 10:48Speaker 2: It's kind of weird, but yes, third and seventeen. To
- 10:50Speaker 2: your point, you should get off the field. I agree
- 10:52Speaker 2: with you. And the defense was garbage all day as
- 10:56Speaker 2: we go forward, okay, so.
- 10:58Speaker 1: No problem, we'll give you that.
- 11:00Speaker 2: On decides to decline the penalty, it comes back to
- 11:03Speaker 2: bite them in the ass because of the fact that,
- 11:04Speaker 2: like you said, Sean McVay decides to go for it
- 11:06Speaker 2: on fourth and five.
- 11:08Speaker 1: They got twelve yards on that third and seventeen.
- 11:10Speaker 2: He goes more than fourth and five, and then they
- 11:11Speaker 2: proceeded to go down with ending with the pookah nakula
- 11:15Speaker 2: excuse me, touchdown?
- 11:16Speaker 3: So was that on fourth down the touchdown?
- 11:18Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm saying that
- 11:20Speaker 2: as the drive continued, as I mean, he got no
- 11:22Speaker 2: they got twelve yards on that particular third and seventeen.
- 11:25Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.
- 11:26Speaker 4: But then on fourth and five the next play wasn't
- 11:28Speaker 4: the Nicoua touchdown.
- 11:30Speaker 1: I don't know, was it.
- 11:32Speaker 3: I don't think so.
- 11:32Speaker 1: I don't think they were still they still had.
- 11:34Speaker 3: To cross the fifteen, Yeah, because.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Because the Nakula touchdown was nineteen yards, so it couldn't
- 11:40Speaker 2: yea yeah play, So all right, so we'll we'll push
- 11:44Speaker 2: that aside. No problem, Sean, you you've got it. Sean,
- 11:46Speaker 2: you're down nine now. The Bills, you know, and and
- 11:51Speaker 2: and Josh Josh Allen again, you know, we already talked
- 11:54Speaker 2: talked about it. He had a wonderful game. Really puts
- 11:57Speaker 2: on the Superman Cape the Bills, to be honest, and
- 11:59Speaker 2: we're all keeping it funking.
- 12:00Speaker 1: We keep it real here at Nicol City. Grew.
- 12:02Speaker 2: Bill shouldn't even have been in the game. Down seventeen,
- 12:05Speaker 2: late second half. You're not even supposed to be in
- 12:07Speaker 2: that game to begin with.
- 12:09Speaker 3: So thirty one teams aren't in that game.
- 12:12Speaker 2: Absolutely, thirty eight twenty one entering the fourth quarter. You're
- 12:15Speaker 2: not supposed to be in that game. The Bill's obviously
- 12:18Speaker 2: engineer a little bit of a comeback. Josh Allen scores
- 12:21Speaker 2: mccolland mccollin's that beautiful pass to him as well the
- 12:26Speaker 2: caveman that he had Tarzan and listen last drive. We
- 12:31Speaker 2: get down there and we get down to the one
- 12:33Speaker 2: yard line and Sean McDermott makes another decision when the
- 12:37Speaker 2: lights are bright that that I think, really it didn't
- 12:41Speaker 2: lose them the game DT, but it ensured that they
- 12:45Speaker 2: would not win it.
- 12:46Speaker 1: And I think that there's a difference. And I know
- 12:48Speaker 1: that I listened.
- 12:49Speaker 2: I listened and consumed everything on WGR throughout this entire week,
- 12:52Speaker 2: and you know people wanted to push back, well McDermot,
- 12:55Speaker 2: you know the McDermott supporters, Well, he didn't lose us
- 12:57Speaker 2: the game, and we weren't probably gonna win the game anyway.
- 13:00Speaker 1: And this and that, I understand all of that.
- 13:02Speaker 2: My biggest problem was that we never had an opportunity
- 13:06Speaker 2: to let Josh Allen go ahead and win the game. Why,
- 13:09Speaker 2: if you ask, if you're under a rock and you
- 13:11Speaker 2: don't know what happened, Bill's on first and goal at
- 13:15Speaker 2: the one yard line called a toush push. Now I've
- 13:18Speaker 2: heard that well, they didn't run their normal toush push,
- 13:20Speaker 2: and they put Zach Davidson, the practice squad guy who
- 13:24Speaker 2: has been elevated, they put him in motion and that's
- 13:26Speaker 2: not normally your regular toush push. I don't really care
- 13:29Speaker 2: about any of that type of stuff. Here's my main thing,
- 13:32Speaker 2: Madden players. My youngest king is upstairs right now playing Madden.
- 13:36Speaker 2: Quincy DT. You know Uncle DT. He's playing Madden right now,
- 13:40Speaker 2: Quincy Nate. Even Bobby who messes around with Madden just
- 13:44Speaker 2: a little bit. Madden players know how to Madden at
- 13:47Speaker 2: the clock. If you've got three timeouts and you are
- 13:50Speaker 2: down two scores, you have to preserve your timeouts. The
- 13:54Speaker 2: reason being is that if you don't preserve your timeouts
- 13:58Speaker 2: for defense, when you're on defense and you kick them
- 13:59Speaker 2: back to them, you're not going to be kicking the
- 14:01Speaker 2: ball back to them, You're going to be attempting an
- 14:04Speaker 2: onside kick. They say it's a three percent chance to
- 14:08Speaker 2: get an on side kick in this new league. Now
- 14:10Speaker 2: you can't even do a surprise on side kick. Remember
- 14:12Speaker 2: the Super Bowl DT, I think it was Sean Payton,
- 14:14Speaker 2: where somebody came out with a surprise on side kick.
- 14:18Speaker 2: After halftime, and everybody's, oh my gosh, now you've got
- 14:21Speaker 2: to report it, just like you're reporting an eligible receiver
- 14:24Speaker 2: for the offense. No surprise onside kick. They say it's
- 14:28Speaker 2: three percent chance to get it. Sean McDermott alects to
- 14:32Speaker 2: call a time out after the tush push fails. My
- 14:35Speaker 2: thing DT as well.
- 14:37Speaker 1: Rob.
- 14:37Speaker 2: If you're bitching about the result, what would you have
- 14:39Speaker 2: done different? Send two plays in, Joe Brady, Send two
- 14:43Speaker 2: plays in if we get stopped for whatever reason. I
- 14:46Speaker 2: know it's a ninety nine percent or ninety eight percent
- 14:48Speaker 2: success rate on the toush push for Josh Allen, and
- 14:51Speaker 2: he's a he's an actual literal buffalo, and we all
- 14:53Speaker 2: get that. If just in case we don't get it,
- 14:56Speaker 2: let's make sure that we're getting off the ball quickly.
- 14:59Speaker 2: What I heard I didn't know is that the refs
- 15:01Speaker 2: will even stop the clock if there's unsportsmanlike conduct and
- 15:05Speaker 2: some of the defenders are trying to lay on the
- 15:07Speaker 2: offensive lineman and they're trying to delay the process of
- 15:10Speaker 2: different things like that.
- 15:11Speaker 1: I did not know that that was a rule.
- 15:12Speaker 2: The ref has the ability to stop the clock just
- 15:15Speaker 2: in case if there's some type of unsportsmanlike conduct where
- 15:19Speaker 2: the defensive linemen are trying to belabor the time and
- 15:22Speaker 2: waste the clock.
- 15:23Speaker 1: So really, what do you have to lose?
- 15:24Speaker 2: Call two plays if they don't get it for some
- 15:28Speaker 2: reason on that tousch push have that other play in
- 15:31Speaker 2: the actual Holster ready to go.
- 15:32Speaker 1: DT. The fact that he called the timeout ensured that
- 15:36Speaker 1: we weren't going to win the game. As soon as
- 15:37Speaker 1: he called time out, I knew we lost the game.
- 15:39Speaker 2: Tom Brady on the broadcast talked about it, and I
- 15:45Speaker 2: don't know, man, it just leads me. It just leads
- 15:47Speaker 2: me with much desired with this with this guy McDermot
- 15:50Speaker 2: just seems to not get it. Man, I'm sorry, DT, I.
- 15:54Speaker 4: Have qualms with the timeout. I'm with you there, I'm
- 15:57Speaker 4: with you there. I know media he thought the same thing.
- 16:01Speaker 4: You need to keep the three. I mean the Josh
- 16:04Speaker 4: Allen effect. You have to be ready for it, you know.
- 16:08Speaker 4: But it's the Josh Allen effect. The last time he
- 16:10Speaker 4: hasn't got a fourth and one is when he slipped.
- 16:13Speaker 3: In Tennessee on Monday night four years ago.
- 16:17Speaker 4: You know, that's the last time the quarterback sneak has
- 16:20Speaker 4: not worked with Josh Allen.
- 16:21Speaker 3: To my memory, you're you know, so you.
- 16:25Speaker 4: Can't assume in this league though, and obviously they assumed.
- 16:29Speaker 4: They assumed he was getting in. But then even if
- 16:31Speaker 4: he doesn't, get your ass up and just run it again,
- 16:35Speaker 4: like I didn't get the time, like I didn't get
- 16:39Speaker 4: the time out because they just ran the QB sneak again.
- 16:41Speaker 4: They put in different personnel whatever, but like whatever, it
- 16:44Speaker 4: shouldn't matter if the if Sam Martin is behind Josh
- 16:48Speaker 4: Allen giving him the push push, like Josh would be
- 16:51Speaker 4: able to get in from the inch line, and he
- 16:53Speaker 4: knew that and he took obviously responsibility for it because
- 16:55Speaker 4: that's what he has to do.
- 16:57Speaker 3: Whatever obviously wasn't his fault.
- 16:58Speaker 4: We lost this game by any means, but the the
- 17:01Speaker 4: josh on effect of like just assuming he was getting
- 17:05Speaker 4: in and then he didn't. But then, yeah, the timeout
- 17:08Speaker 4: I thought was unwarranted. I have qualms with the timeout.
- 17:11Speaker 4: I'm with you there. That's just goes back to the
- 17:15Speaker 4: book of what are you doing? The timeout was completely unnecessary.
- 17:18Speaker 4: Just get back up on the ball and run the
- 17:20Speaker 4: toushbush again.
- 17:21Speaker 1: You're not going to waste that time.
- 17:26Speaker 4: You look bad, but you look bad calling the timeout anyway,
- 17:29Speaker 4: So I agree, I have I they assumed it because
- 17:33Speaker 4: they haven't seen him not get fourth and or of
- 17:36Speaker 4: the yard in forty years. But be prepared, to be prepared,
- 17:44Speaker 4: it's got to be communicated then to it's just hurry
- 17:46Speaker 4: up and joh and then maybe you know, if anything
- 17:49Speaker 4: was on Josh, that's go to Josh there, okay, ship
- 17:52Speaker 4: I didn't get in on the ball, like, no, don't call.
- 17:53Speaker 2: The timeout, and that dude was ready to call the timeout.
- 17:58Speaker 2: He panicked, which is why my main thing is that
- 18:01Speaker 2: I think that he I.
- 18:02Speaker 3: Got Coalms with the timeout. I got Coalms with the timeout.
- 18:04Speaker 4: I'm with you there, unacceptable, But I obviously they weren't.
- 18:09Speaker 4: They thought he's getting in no like they nobody. They
- 18:12Speaker 4: didn't have a backup plan, and that shows that's not
- 18:14Speaker 4: good either. That show's obviously unprepared. You know that the
- 18:18Speaker 4: Andy Reids are never unprepared.
- 18:21Speaker 1: It is what it is.
- 18:21Speaker 4: So I agree it was the Josh Allen effect, four
- 18:25Speaker 4: years of not getting it on unmargined.
- 18:28Speaker 3: Can't can't you keep.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Trying, you keep trying to throw that caveat in there.
- 18:32Speaker 2: And I'm sure that that's what McDermott was thinking or
- 18:34Speaker 2: you know, Okay, I'm not sure. I think that McDermott
- 18:37Speaker 2: was thinking he was going to get in. My thing
- 18:40Speaker 2: is that you are the head coach of a professional
- 18:42Speaker 2: football team. You are paid millions of dollars. You need
- 18:45Speaker 2: to have contingency plans in effect and ready to go.
- 18:48Speaker 2: What infuriated me about thirteen seconds and all of Bills, Bafia,
- 18:52Speaker 2: all of Nicol City crew was that there's no way
- 18:56Speaker 2: that you should lose a game when you are up
- 18:58Speaker 2: thirteen seconds and you have an opportunity to get a
- 19:01Speaker 2: chance to go to the AFC Championship game. This team
- 19:04Speaker 2: is on their last leg. You were not prepared. It
- 19:07Speaker 2: showed in your coverages. It showed a couple of years
- 19:11Speaker 2: later against Cincinnati in your coverages, it showed.
- 19:14Speaker 1: It showed that you weren't prepared.
- 19:16Speaker 2: So when I see the timeout called and McDermott takes
- 19:19Speaker 2: his head set off and he's walking up the sideline
- 19:21Speaker 2: to call that time out with the ref, I just
- 19:23Speaker 2: thought I knew that the game was over then, and
- 19:26Speaker 2: I was pissed off because of the fact that again, yes,
- 19:30Speaker 2: the chances were slim, and I could even understand that
- 19:32Speaker 2: I'm not a I'm a realist. I pride myself on
- 19:35Speaker 2: being a Buffalo Bill's realist, So I understand that it
- 19:38Speaker 2: was still going to be what it would have been.
- 19:40Speaker 1: If you kick the ball back to the Rams.
- 19:43Speaker 2: You've got three stops, you've got to make force a punt,
- 19:47Speaker 2: and what it might be twenty five maybe thirty seconds
- 19:51Speaker 2: if you're lucky, what the case may be, depending on
- 19:52Speaker 2: how long the plays take for the Rams to run.
- 19:55Speaker 2: I understand that. And in addition, I'll give Bills Mafia
- 19:59Speaker 2: because I heard.
- 19:59Speaker 1: This on Twitter.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Well, there's no there's no guarantee that they wouldn't have
- 20:02Speaker 2: gotten the first down. You're absolutely right, there is no guarantee.
- 20:06Speaker 2: Sean McDermott did not lose us the game. He made
- 20:09Speaker 2: sure that we couldn't fucking win it, And that is
- 20:12Speaker 2: what bothers me, DT, because it seems to be a
- 20:14Speaker 2: theme with this dude.
- 20:15Speaker 1: That's what bothers me. He made sure during thirteen seconds
- 20:19Speaker 1: that we couldn't win the game by playing that off coverage.
- 20:21Speaker 1: He made sure during the.
- 20:24Speaker 2: Cincinnati well, the Cincinnati game was out of hand, but
- 20:26Speaker 2: he made sure kicking all those field goals in the
- 20:29Speaker 2: ASC Championship game that we weren't going to be able
- 20:30Speaker 2: to be competitive long enough in the game to stay
- 20:33Speaker 2: close to Kansas City to win that game. And then
- 20:36Speaker 2: you've got a situation against you know, the Eagles where
- 20:40Speaker 2: he he kneels on the ball. Well, I don't know
- 20:44Speaker 2: if Josh Allen would have been able to throw something
- 20:45Speaker 2: out of his hat, but I know one thing is
- 20:48Speaker 2: for sure, you can't You can't figure it out if.
- 20:50Speaker 1: You don't try kneeling on the ball. Some bullshit. I
- 20:53Speaker 1: don't know, man, this guy he rubs me the wrong way. Man,
- 20:57Speaker 1: he rubs me the wrong way.
- 21:00Speaker 4: Are they do they if they have the three timeouts
- 21:05Speaker 4: so they kick the outside kick?
- 21:08Speaker 2: No, they're gonna put They're gonna kick it off playfield position.
- 21:11Speaker 2: They're gonna try to get three stops and then at
- 21:13Speaker 2: that point after first down timeout, second nine timeout, uh
- 21:16Speaker 2: and third down timeout and then hopefully you stop them.
- 21:19Speaker 2: Now they hadn't been running the ball crazy good. I
- 21:22Speaker 2: think Kyrauen Williams ended up with like three yards to carry.
- 21:24Speaker 2: What the case may be, there's no way that we're
- 21:26Speaker 2: gonna know what the scenario plays out like. But yo,
- 21:28Speaker 2: they we're gonna kick it deep and they're gonna call
- 21:30Speaker 2: their timeouts if they have all three timeouts, to try
- 21:32Speaker 2: to force them the punt. Like I said, twenty five
- 21:34Speaker 2: thirty maybe thirty two thirty three seconds if you're lucky
- 21:38Speaker 2: on offense for Josh Allen, no timeouts and go drive
- 21:41Speaker 2: the length of the field to try to get into
- 21:43Speaker 2: field goal range because again they would have been up
- 21:45Speaker 2: to and a field goal would win the game. I
- 21:49Speaker 2: just I just thought that it was it was poor management.
- 21:51Speaker 2: I thought that he panicked, and it reminded me of
- 21:55Speaker 2: some of the things that make me scared about Sean McDermott.
- 21:57Speaker 2: Now as we transition spare, yeah, and as we transitioned
- 22:02Speaker 2: the last the last which is a little bit.
- 22:04Speaker 1: More good go ahead.
- 22:06Speaker 4: Just I mean, it was an unacceptable performance, you know,
- 22:09Speaker 4: top to bottom defensively, and obviously that falls on him too,
- 22:12Speaker 4: being the you know, we give credit to him when
- 22:15Speaker 4: you know, even I know Bobby Babbage calls the plays now,
- 22:18Speaker 4: but the defense credit goes to Tom mcgermott's always, it
- 22:22Speaker 4: always goes to Sean McDermott. And that, Yeah, defensively, they
- 22:26Speaker 4: were they got pushed around. They you know, they weren't prepared.
- 22:30Speaker 4: They you know, they're there. That was bad all the
- 22:33Speaker 4: way around, defensively, you know, from the from the trenches
- 22:35Speaker 4: back and you know, throw a couple sports Center top
- 22:39Speaker 4: ten miraculous, Pookin Nicole catches and Matt Stafford dimes and
- 22:44Speaker 4: you know, and Pook and Nicola might be that guy
- 22:47Speaker 4: because this Thursday, a game where they didn't score a touchdown,
- 22:50Speaker 4: they put forty five on one of the best these
- 22:53Speaker 4: we thought, and then they don't score a touchdown last night.
- 22:56Speaker 4: You know, pook and still had another couple right sports
- 23:01Speaker 4: Center tighlight. You know, everything went right for them. We
- 23:05Speaker 4: played our worst game of the year. But I see
- 23:08Speaker 4: what you're saying. When it did get to crunch time,
- 23:10Speaker 4: when it did get to we still got a shot
- 23:13Speaker 4: at this because of one seven, you kind of you
- 23:18Speaker 4: kind of fucked it up.
- 23:18Speaker 3: So okay, that's that's a that's a point. That's a point.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Last part of it and that and this is to me.
- 23:26Speaker 2: You know, like you said, you really didn't care too
- 23:28Speaker 2: much about the third down excepting the penalty. To me,
- 23:31Speaker 2: you know, the last part is it games over At
- 23:34Speaker 2: that point, Bill's go for the pump block. They don't
- 23:37Speaker 2: get a chance to go for the pump block because
- 23:38Speaker 2: they have nine men on the field, not eleven nine.
- 23:42Speaker 2: I watched a game against Denver last season that that
- 23:46Speaker 2: really infuriated me. Nicol City Crew knows because you could
- 23:49Speaker 2: look at the archives and there were twelve men on
- 23:52Speaker 2: the field after the kicker had missed the kick to
- 23:56Speaker 2: win the game, to get another try, they win the game.
- 24:00Speaker 2: There's eleven men on the field after the five yard
- 24:01Speaker 2: penalty is enforced DT. I know he doesn't run special teams,
- 24:07Speaker 2: but here's here's my thing on all of it. And
- 24:10Speaker 2: I think that this encompasses all of it. And we've
- 24:12Speaker 2: talked about this before on Nickol City Crew in the past.
- 24:15Speaker 2: He is the CEO of the team. Because he's the
- 24:19Speaker 2: CEO of the team, I'm going to hold him responsible
- 24:22Speaker 2: for everything that happens. I don't give a dim if
- 24:25Speaker 2: he's a defensive coach. I don't give a damn that
- 24:27Speaker 2: he's not an offensive coach. He hears every play. He
- 24:30Speaker 2: hears everything on those headphones. He hears every offensive play,
- 24:34Speaker 2: every defensive play. Joe Brady's speaking, Bobby Babbage is speaking,
- 24:38Speaker 2: and obviously with special teams as well, he hears every play.
- 24:43Speaker 2: If there is something wrong, I would like for you
- 24:46Speaker 2: as the head coach, to step up and speak about it,
- 24:49Speaker 2: and speak up and say, hey, this is fucked up.
- 24:52Speaker 2: We're not doing this. When they called that time out
- 24:54Speaker 2: before the with the chiefs, hey we're not playing that coverage.
- 24:59Speaker 2: This sounds crazy to me. No, we're not gonna do
- 25:02Speaker 2: that thirteen seconds. We're not No no, no, no, no, no
- 25:03Speaker 2: no no, we're not doing that. What had happened? We
- 25:06Speaker 2: got embarrassed by Patrick Mahomes who on National TV yells
- 25:10Speaker 2: to his buddy Kelsey, do it, do it?
- 25:13Speaker 1: Do it. It was audible on the broadcast. Hey Kelse,
- 25:17Speaker 1: do it, do it? Do it? Do it. I don't
- 25:20Speaker 1: want to be embarrassed by this guy anymore. DT. I'm
- 25:22Speaker 1: sorry again.
- 25:23Speaker 2: I'm not calling for his job because I stopped calling
- 25:27Speaker 2: for his job because I know that doesn't matter unless
- 25:29Speaker 2: Pegoula or Josh Allen give a shit. If Josh Allen's
- 25:32Speaker 2: not gonna go to Pegoula and tell him to fire him,
- 25:33Speaker 2: he's not going anywhere because Pagola enjoys his success. Because
- 25:36Speaker 2: his damn hockey team is so damn shitty. I just
- 25:39Speaker 2: don't think that this guy should be the coach forever.
- 25:42Speaker 2: It just be getting be given these these these passes
- 25:45Speaker 2: he's given. In my mind, he's given passes to have
- 25:49Speaker 2: carte blanche. He's much like Rex Ryan, He's much like
- 25:52Speaker 2: Dick Charon. He just doesn't do it for me, man,
- 25:55Speaker 2: when the lights are brightness, he doesn't do it for me.
- 25:58Speaker 2: Nine men on the field and you're calling you want
- 26:01Speaker 2: to call a punt block coverage, you can't even do
- 26:04Speaker 2: it because it's not And then Condrington gets the ball.
- 26:07Speaker 2: No one told him that this is the last play
- 26:09Speaker 2: of the game, and you go ahead on and field
- 26:11Speaker 2: that motherfucker, Like, go ahead and field it, and we'll
- 26:13Speaker 2: do whatever.
- 26:14Speaker 1: We can do. I just it's just the unorganization of it.
- 26:18Speaker 1: Just yeah, I don't know, man, I don't know. Yeah.
- 26:21Speaker 4: I mean, they weren't you know, weren't comfortable in these
- 26:25Speaker 4: in these situations, weren't comfortable being down, you know. But hey,
- 26:29Speaker 4: we go cross country on a little bit of a
- 26:31Speaker 4: hangover from our fifth straight division title. If this if
- 26:35Speaker 4: this is the game to kind of chalk some things up,
- 26:37Speaker 4: this is the game to chalk some things up. Let's
- 26:40Speaker 4: let's go on and get it back against a one
- 26:43Speaker 4: loss Detroit team that the world is you know, infatuated
- 26:47Speaker 4: with and it's it's really annoying, and we can go
- 26:51Speaker 4: in there and you know, and knock it right down
- 26:53Speaker 4: and beat this team and be right back where we
- 26:55Speaker 4: got to be.
- 26:56Speaker 3: So I get it.
- 26:58Speaker 4: I hope it's not foreshadowing.
- 27:00Speaker 3: I hope you're wrong.
- 27:01Speaker 4: I hope it's not foreshadowing to you know, it's never
- 27:04Speaker 4: going to go away. But if this was the game
- 27:08Speaker 4: to be a little messy, this was the game to
- 27:10Speaker 4: be a little messy.
- 27:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I guess you could say that I
- 27:14Speaker 2: was counting on this game because because of the game
- 27:17Speaker 2: that we're getting ready to talk about with Detroit, I
- 27:18Speaker 2: was counting on the fact that they were going to
- 27:20Speaker 2: be buttoned up and go ahead and get this win.
- 27:22Speaker 2: Because of the fact that I was, I was going
- 27:24Speaker 2: to be accepting the fact that we might lose to Detroit.
- 27:28Speaker 2: It's funny because you know, when you look at it
- 27:31Speaker 2: DT as we transition it, you know, I don't want
- 27:35Speaker 2: him to ever be the reason why we lose. And
- 27:37Speaker 2: I guess that's really where I'm coming from. I think
- 27:40Speaker 2: that he has been in situations where he was the
- 27:42Speaker 2: reason that we lost games. He was the culprit, and
- 27:45Speaker 2: I think that that's one of the most frustrating parts
- 27:47Speaker 2: for me personally.
- 27:49Speaker 1: And I want you to speak.
- 27:49Speaker 2: About it because I know that you said that you
- 27:51Speaker 2: don't want me to be right and you want me
- 27:53Speaker 2: to be wrong, and I get it.
- 27:54Speaker 1: I want to be wrong too.
- 27:56Speaker 2: I just think that there are so many different examples
- 27:58Speaker 2: now where I have to look at Sean McDermott. I
- 28:01Speaker 2: have to wonder if he understands it, if he gets it,
- 28:04Speaker 2: because he talks about growth mindset.
- 28:06Speaker 1: I just heard of damn press.
- 28:07Speaker 2: Conference the other day the other day talking about oh,
- 28:09Speaker 2: lay it all on the line, and we've got to
- 28:11Speaker 2: be ready to lay it all on the line. And
- 28:12Speaker 2: this is that, like, dude, are you laying it all
- 28:15Speaker 2: on the line? Do you understand your job description? Do
- 28:18Speaker 2: you understand how important you are to the success and
- 28:22Speaker 2: failure of this team? I just I don't know, man,
- 28:24Speaker 2: I don't know if he gets a DT before we
- 28:27Speaker 2: transition to Detroit. I need to know if you think
- 28:29Speaker 2: that he gets it. I just don't know if he
- 28:32Speaker 2: gets it.
- 28:34Speaker 4: Well, we talked last week about you know, do you
- 28:38Speaker 4: see the turn? Have you seen him learning? And you know,
- 28:42Speaker 4: kind of preached of I think it's set up for
- 28:46Speaker 4: him to learn. But and you said why because he
- 28:52Speaker 4: he did a snow angel. You know he's back because
- 28:54Speaker 4: he did a snow angel. So I don't know. I'm
- 28:58Speaker 4: not getting myself worked up against an NFC team who's
- 29:02Speaker 4: probably gonna win the NFC West. To be honest, you know,
- 29:05Speaker 4: this team is solid. The NFC West is is kind
- 29:09Speaker 4: of trash. They're probably gonna come back and win this
- 29:11Speaker 4: the NFC West. They're gonna be in the playoffs and
- 29:14Speaker 4: they're gonna be a tough out. A lot of these
- 29:16Speaker 4: high class NFC teams don't want to play the Rams,
- 29:18Speaker 4: you know. They they kind of have the talent. They
- 29:20Speaker 4: they're sneaking and face creative whatever.
- 29:23Speaker 3: I get it.
- 29:24Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not putting them on the stake across
- 29:29Speaker 4: country game against the decent RAMS team on a hangover
- 29:34Speaker 4: from the division title. I'm not putting them on the
- 29:35Speaker 4: stake yet. But I will come clean and eat my
- 29:38Speaker 4: words if this happens in the playoffs, and then you
- 29:42Speaker 4: know I have to agree with you. And that's that's
- 29:45Speaker 4: that is it. I mean, that is it. There's nothing else.
- 29:48Speaker 4: There's there's too many, too many excuses, too many times
- 29:52Speaker 4: this I'm not counting as the time happens in the playoffs.
- 29:56Speaker 4: I'll eat my words right here on Nicol City Crew,
- 29:58Speaker 4: give you your credit and we but we're gonna change
- 30:02Speaker 4: that tide this week as we get into.
- 30:04Speaker 1: All right, as we transition tonight.
- 30:06Speaker 2: Tonight's episode is presented by twenty six Shirts here on
- 30:09Speaker 2: Buffalo fan Base, the official Bills Mafia podcast network that
- 30:12Speaker 2: DT and I simulcast on.
- 30:14Speaker 1: Head on over to twenty six shirts dot com for
- 30:16Speaker 1: all of.

- 30:32Speaker 2: Salute to the godfather del Reed running a great site
- 30:35Speaker 2: over there. They've got great content creators coming up with
- 30:37Speaker 2: some cool concepts. Head on over to twenty six shirts
- 30:40Speaker 2: dot com. You can do a lot worse with your money, DT.
- 30:44Speaker 2: As we transition, I think that you know, one of
- 30:46Speaker 2: the things that stings the most is because now we've
- 30:48Speaker 2: dropped another game behind Kansas City. The horseshoe stays firmly
- 30:52Speaker 2: lodged up their ass.
- 30:54Speaker 1: It just won't go anywhere. Another nailbier.
- 30:57Speaker 2: On Sunday Night Football, they beat the Chargers nineteen to seventeen,
- 31:02Speaker 2: so they stayed two games clear of the Bills. Now again,
- 31:04Speaker 2: all we need to do Bills Mafia is be tied
- 31:06Speaker 2: with them because of the head to head, and then
- 31:08Speaker 2: we would go ahead and get that number one seed.
- 31:10Speaker 2: So that kind of puts a damper in it. I
- 31:12Speaker 2: think the Chiefs play the Browns this week, so we'll
- 31:14Speaker 2: see how that goes. Maybe Jamis Winston can his prayers
- 31:18Speaker 2: have been answered, He's delivered from the pick sixes and
- 31:20Speaker 2: he talked about and he can go ahead and on
- 31:22Speaker 2: and get.
- 31:23Speaker 1: A nice upset victory of the year against.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard Patrick Mahomes talking about it and bitching
- 31:31Speaker 2: about it this week in his press conferences about how
- 31:33Speaker 2: they've got all these different games and they got Christmas
- 31:35Speaker 2: right after three games in eleven days. Is crazy now
- 31:38Speaker 2: that I have to even admit that that's crazy. I
- 31:41Speaker 2: think the Bills played what we played two and ten,
- 31:43Speaker 2: and we were like, damn, that was a tough stretch.
- 31:46Speaker 2: So three and eleven is pretty crazy for a football player.
- 31:50Speaker 1: DT.
- 31:51Speaker 2: The defense had their worst performance. He talked about it.
- 31:54Speaker 2: I spoke about it as well. Forty four points given
- 31:56Speaker 2: up Stafford. I saw some funny stuff point Twitter last night,
- 32:01Speaker 2: and then like Stafford looked like Jesus last week against US,
- 32:04Speaker 2: and now he looks like shit. You know what I
- 32:06Speaker 2: mean this week? You know everybody in Bill's BOFFI was lamenting.
- 32:10Speaker 2: Obviously it was some wet conditions as well. But DT,
- 32:15Speaker 2: how do we bounce back from this? Is this something
- 32:17Speaker 2: that can linger? Because I had to see the defense
- 32:19Speaker 2: look like that in a while. Not that they've been great.
- 32:22Speaker 2: I've never called this version of the twenty twenty four
- 32:24Speaker 2: Bills defense is great.
- 32:25Speaker 1: I think they've been good. Yes, I think they've been efficient.
- 32:29Speaker 2: They ben but don't break, stopping them in the in
- 32:33Speaker 2: the in the red zone area. And then again, as
- 32:35Speaker 2: you spoke about being a really great and opportunistic with
- 32:38Speaker 2: their turnovers, they didn't get any turnovers. They didn't touch
- 32:40Speaker 2: Matt Stafford at all. Greg Rousseau was a no show.
- 32:44Speaker 2: Von Miller might have been their best pass rusher and
- 32:46Speaker 2: he only got a chance to get to the quarterback
- 32:47Speaker 2: a couple of times, and really affect the passer.
- 32:50Speaker 1: At Oliver heard a lot of shadow on WGR this.
- 32:53Speaker 2: Week about at Oliver that some period you know and
- 32:56Speaker 2: the people like us that love Day Day talking about
- 32:58Speaker 2: all you need to get his daydated back and he's
- 33:00Speaker 2: gonna play better.
- 33:01Speaker 1: All you need to do is get dated back.
- 33:03Speaker 2: He's back and he's still playing, Like why why we
- 33:06Speaker 2: give you all this money?
- 33:07Speaker 1: D T Can the can the defense bounce back?
- 33:10Speaker 2: Because that was a that was an uninspiring performance to
- 33:13Speaker 2: say the least.
- 33:13Speaker 4: Do you know the I don't know what baseball team
- 33:17Speaker 4: this is, but the Freeze, the Freeze.
- 33:20Speaker 3: You ever seen this?
- 33:21Speaker 4: The dudes that you they call people down the race
- 33:24Speaker 4: in the in the outfield, right, they let the the
- 33:27Speaker 4: person starts hauling ass is as fast as they can
- 33:32Speaker 4: around like the warning track of the outfield. And then
- 33:35Speaker 4: the mister Freeze dude is this dude. He dresses up
- 33:37Speaker 4: like mister Freeze. He's fast, and he gives them like
- 33:40Speaker 4: a huge head start and then he starts halling ass
- 33:43Speaker 4: and and usually catches up and beats them.
- 33:45Speaker 1: You know.
- 33:47Speaker 4: And these people, these people think that they're gonna win
- 33:49Speaker 4: because they're so far ahead and so and they're they're gritting,
- 33:52Speaker 4: and they're grinding, and then Freeze comes in and blows
- 33:54Speaker 4: through them. Ben Don't Break is kind of similar to that.
- 33:59Speaker 4: The Bills let the let that team kind of run
- 34:02Speaker 4: a little bit out in front of him, and then
- 34:04Speaker 4: they say, all right, clicks in and then they put
- 34:07Speaker 4: on the after burners and keep it going. Well, once
- 34:09Speaker 4: in a while, you're gonna get a fast motherfucker in
- 34:11Speaker 4: front of you, and you got enough to get back
- 34:15Speaker 4: and get and get to him. And that's exactly what
- 34:17Speaker 4: we saw, you know, on on Sunday. So I think, yes,
- 34:22Speaker 4: they can come back from it, knowing that, you know,
- 34:24Speaker 4: that's kind of the way they play. I'm not saying
- 34:26Speaker 4: they purposely let them, you know, score all these points
- 34:29Speaker 4: and then we're trying to catch up and couldn't. Just
- 34:31Speaker 4: the fact of we got to bring that that gap
- 34:34Speaker 4: down a little bit, especially with this Detroit team, who's
- 34:37Speaker 4: I say, probably very similar to the Rams, but a
- 34:40Speaker 4: little better, you know, a little bit better run game
- 34:44Speaker 4: for sure. I'm not Saint Brown kind of pisses me
- 34:48Speaker 4: off nowadays too.
- 34:48Speaker 3: He thinks something crazy.
- 34:50Speaker 1: I love I love, I love him, But.
- 34:56Speaker 4: We can come back. We need to shorten that that
- 34:58Speaker 4: we're mister freeze here. We can't let this this cat.
- 35:01Speaker 4: We know they're fast. Now we know they're fast. We
- 35:03Speaker 4: didn't know last week how fast. Now we know they're fast.
- 35:06Speaker 4: So we need to shorten that gap up and start
- 35:08Speaker 4: our race a little quicker. And I said it earlier
- 35:11Speaker 4: in the show, It's gonna come down to physicality.
- 35:13Speaker 1: Uh.
- 35:13Speaker 3: The Lions are known to play physical.
- 35:14Speaker 4: Dan Campbell literally lives and breathes on it, and we
- 35:19Speaker 4: have to we have to be you know, it's got
- 35:21Speaker 4: to be a chip on the shoulder game.
- 35:23Speaker 3: It's gotta be a.
- 35:24Speaker 4: You know, we're we're the elite team in this league.
- 35:26Speaker 4: We're an elite physical defense, defensive line, linebackers, Matt Mullane's back.
- 35:32Speaker 4: You know, we gotta fly around and and and lay licks.
- 35:35Speaker 4: And I think that's what you know, They've heard some
- 35:38Speaker 4: ship this week, and I hope it pisses them off.
- 35:40Speaker 4: So that's why I think we bounced back, just that
- 35:43Speaker 4: physical game. Start controlling that line of scrimmage again defensively
- 35:46Speaker 4: like we Jared Goff. I think we have a little
- 35:49Speaker 4: better chance to get to them than Stafford, but they're
- 35:52Speaker 4: not gonna throw anywhere near as many times as the Yeah,
- 36:00Speaker 4: that tackle back too, So you know, there's it's a
- 36:03Speaker 4: tall task, but I think we can bounce back from
- 36:05Speaker 4: it with a little chip on her shoulder and no
- 36:08Speaker 4: still play our game, but know that we have to
- 36:10Speaker 4: start that race a little quicker. We got to be
- 36:12Speaker 4: mister Freeze, got to know this motherfucker in front of
- 36:15Speaker 4: us is pretty fast and we can't let him out
- 36:16Speaker 4: to a big lead.
- 36:18Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting that you talked about that. There's a
- 36:20Speaker 2: couple of things that I took away from what you
- 36:22Speaker 2: just said, because you know, I think that this is
- 36:24Speaker 2: going to be a game that is going to have
- 36:26Speaker 2: to rely on scoring points. I think that one of
- 36:30Speaker 2: the things that also upset me or made me feel
- 36:33Speaker 2: just made me feel a certain type of way was
- 36:34Speaker 2: after the game. I think it was the next statement,
- 36:37Speaker 2: Derrett was talking about the line of scrimmage, which obviously
- 36:39Speaker 2: is very important, and then he had talked about how
- 36:41Speaker 2: he kind of lamented the fact that the run game
- 36:44Speaker 2: didn't get going, and he was he kept just talking
- 36:47Speaker 2: about the run game and how it wasn't what he
- 36:49Speaker 2: wanted it to be. And obviously James Cook didn't have
- 36:51Speaker 2: a great day. But my thing was that the passing
- 36:54Speaker 2: game was working. When you needed Josh Allen, you needed
- 36:57Speaker 2: him and he showed up for you. So why are
- 36:59Speaker 2: you so oh? Why are you so infactuated with the
- 37:03Speaker 2: run game? And again, line of scrimmage is different. We've
- 37:06Speaker 2: had a great offensive line. Detroit has the best offensive
- 37:10Speaker 2: line in the league, So I understand the importance of
- 37:11Speaker 2: an offensive line defensive line, same way they affect the quarterback.
- 37:14Speaker 1: That can change the entire complexion of the game. I
- 37:16Speaker 1: get all that.
- 37:17Speaker 2: However, the fact that he laments it kind of put
- 37:20Speaker 2: me back into it again. What have I always said
- 37:23Speaker 2: about him? He is Rex Ryan and Dick Duran. He
- 37:27Speaker 2: he's just more polished. Rex Ryan once said that he
- 37:30Speaker 2: felt bad that we got ran over by the Patriots
- 37:33Speaker 2: because they ran over as it wasn't like they threw
- 37:35Speaker 2: it on us. And I'm like, what the fuck does
- 37:37Speaker 2: it matter if they threw it or ran it on us,
- 37:40Speaker 2: if they still scored forty something points and whooped our ass,
- 37:42Speaker 2: Like so it doesn't.
- 37:43Speaker 1: It doesn't make me feel any better.
- 37:45Speaker 2: If I get scored on by forty then you ran
- 37:47Speaker 2: it all day, Or if I get scored on with
- 37:50Speaker 2: forty and you threw it all day either way, you
- 37:52Speaker 2: scored forty and I look stupid at the end of
- 37:55Speaker 2: the day.
- 37:55Speaker 1: And it comes down to that football, that.
- 37:58Speaker 2: Masculinity, there's a there's there's something to that and how
- 38:02Speaker 2: those coaches think. I think McDermott is right in that
- 38:04Speaker 2: same cloth. He's cut from that same cloth where he
- 38:07Speaker 2: would rather he would much rather pound you to death
- 38:10Speaker 2: with the ground game as opposed to Josh Allen winning
- 38:13Speaker 2: or fighting in a shootout. And I think that he
- 38:16Speaker 2: he showed some of his true colors the next couple
- 38:18Speaker 2: of days.
- 38:18Speaker 4: But that's been the biggest, the biggest kind of you know,
- 38:22Speaker 4: kudos to this team this year. The Bills team overall
- 38:25Speaker 4: is like their a little chameleon esque, you know, like
- 38:28Speaker 4: whatever they need to do to win the game offensively,
- 38:30Speaker 4: they're able. They've shown they're able to do it. You know,
- 38:33Speaker 4: if if Josh Allen's got to throw for one hundred
- 38:35Speaker 4: yards and they beat the Dolphins by forty, great, If
- 38:39Speaker 4: he's got to if he's got to throw for three
- 38:41Speaker 4: hundred and literally score six touchdowns against the Rams, you know,
- 38:44Speaker 4: obviously they fell short, but great. The week before he's
- 38:47Speaker 4: got to throw and catch his own touchdowns, great, like
- 38:50Speaker 4: they they are a chameleon this year of whatever is needed,
- 38:54Speaker 4: they've they've seemed to work into it. And that's what
- 38:56Speaker 4: we think makes them good. Right, Like, we got a
- 38:59Speaker 4: good run game of we need it, we got a
- 39:00Speaker 4: good pass game if we need it, we got you
- 39:02Speaker 4: bring the the tackle eligible in there and the extra
- 39:06Speaker 4: alignment if we need it. So I'm yeah, I if
- 39:10Speaker 4: you're picking picking stuff like that, but it is what
- 39:15Speaker 4: it is. Like, It's not like we were running down
- 39:17Speaker 4: you know, down seventeen. He wasn't like, well, we're running
- 39:19Speaker 4: the ball like he's saying it, but we're in the
- 39:22Speaker 4: gun and whipping it around and so okay.
- 39:25Speaker 3: But I think he knows like that, Josh is gonna
- 39:28Speaker 3: do whatever he has to do.
- 39:29Speaker 4: To win games and be the chameleon. And that's there's
- 39:32Speaker 4: a lot under the hood. There's a lot left with
- 39:34Speaker 4: this offense.
- 39:35Speaker 2: So I I just want him to his bread is buttered,
- 39:39Speaker 2: and I want him to embrace it and not seem
- 39:41Speaker 2: like he's But I don't think.
- 39:45Speaker 4: He's like he's calling run when we should have called
- 39:48Speaker 4: pass or anything like you know, or yelling at Joe
- 39:50Speaker 4: Brady when you know it is what it is. I
- 39:53Speaker 4: think the trust is there on that side of the ball.
- 39:55Speaker 4: He can have philosophies, but I think it comes down
- 39:58Speaker 4: to this offense being chameleon and Josh Allen being unstoppable,
- 40:01Speaker 4: and you know that's what it is. So I get
- 40:02Speaker 4: what you're saying, but I don't think it affects what
- 40:05Speaker 4: we're gonna see on the field.
- 40:07Speaker 1: Okay, I agree. I agree to a large extent with that.
- 40:10Speaker 2: Now, something funny that happened last night that actually speaks
- 40:14Speaker 2: about something that you just talked about that you may
- 40:16Speaker 2: not even know what you what you said you had
- 40:18Speaker 2: spoke about Matt Milano. I watched uh Deveandre Campbell you know,
- 40:23Speaker 2: quit on his teammates last night, and then that's been
- 40:25Speaker 2: the buzz on ESPN and all the other networks. One
- 40:28Speaker 2: of the reasons why is because he felt disrespected. Dorian
- 40:31Speaker 2: Williams has not gotten any snaps and Matt Mulano Bill's
- 40:36Speaker 2: Mafia Nicol City Crew, you could you come right at me.
- 40:39Speaker 1: He has not looked that good. It looks like he
- 40:41Speaker 1: is still ramping up.
- 40:43Speaker 2: I've been interested and I wanted to call WGR this
- 40:46Speaker 2: week and I didn't get a chance to, but I
- 40:48Speaker 2: wanted to get some opinions on how you feel about
- 40:51Speaker 2: a DT because to me, it's a little bit suspect.
- 40:54Speaker 2: The reason being is that this guy is coming off
- 40:57Speaker 2: of a major leg injury. We've talked about it before
- 40:59Speaker 2: the crew. It's not a ligament, so it's just the
- 41:02Speaker 2: bone healing and get back out there. I understand that,
- 41:04Speaker 2: but he has not played football and he needs to
- 41:07Speaker 2: ramp back up. You had the leading tackler, one of
- 41:09Speaker 2: the leading tacklers in the NFL, not just on the Bills,
- 41:12Speaker 2: he was one of the leading like he was like
- 41:13Speaker 2: top three in the in the entire league. He goes
- 41:16Speaker 2: to the bench. He doesn't see the field at all.
- 41:18Speaker 2: There's no type of ramp up for for Villano. There's
- 41:22Speaker 2: no type of easing him into the game plan. As
- 41:25Speaker 2: soon as he was ready to play against San Francisco,
- 41:27Speaker 2: he played every damn near snap.
- 41:29Speaker 1: Dorian Williams has been on nothing but special teams.
- 41:31Speaker 2: I was wondering, not a Devondre Campbell's situation exactly, that
- 41:34Speaker 2: he's quitting on the team or anything like that, But
- 41:36Speaker 2: I did feel like I could understand that Dorian Williams
- 41:40Speaker 2: felt a little bit disrespected by the fact that this
- 41:43Speaker 2: guy comes back off the street and takes all.
- 41:45Speaker 4: Of my snaps like that is and isn't balling out
- 41:48Speaker 4: Yeah bingo, yeah, no.
- 41:50Speaker 3: I agree, And it's it's weird.
- 41:52Speaker 4: It goes against the philosophy of this organization because if anything,
- 41:56Speaker 4: they're super conservative with shit like this. If anything, it
- 41:59Speaker 4: is full ramp up and we're like, okay, let the
- 42:02Speaker 4: guy play already, you know, like me right right, right,
- 42:05Speaker 4: and yeah. So I was very surprised, and especially this
- 42:08Speaker 4: wasn't just you know, dude was coming off a hammy
- 42:10Speaker 4: for a couple of weeks on the IR. Dude was
- 42:13Speaker 4: out a year plus, you know, like, dude was out
- 42:15Speaker 4: a long ass time. So I agree, it's it's weird,
- 42:19Speaker 4: and it goes against all the philosophy of what this
- 42:22Speaker 4: team and foundations stand for. You know, obviously obviously shows
- 42:27Speaker 4: superior confidence in fifty eight.
- 42:29Speaker 3: You know that he is the dog.
- 42:31Speaker 2: But if it hasn't, it hasn't bore fruit man, he's
- 42:35Speaker 2: not playing that well right now.
- 42:36Speaker 4: Yeah, last week the shock factor, right, like learn how
- 42:39Speaker 4: to swim again by by jumping right back in the
- 42:41Speaker 4: deep end. So if that's what they're doing, okay, but
- 42:45Speaker 4: they don't do that. You know, so it is a
- 42:47Speaker 4: little weird, a little fishy. I hope, I hope it works.
- 42:51Speaker 4: I hope Matt Malono, you know, he's don't don't drown
- 42:54Speaker 4: down there, dude, give that syrace, you know, well you
- 42:57Speaker 4: still can. Yeah, I think they're they're they're obviously just
- 43:01Speaker 4: trying to shock shock them into play, you know, a
- 43:04Speaker 4: a dum right back into the right, back into this defense.
- 43:07Speaker 4: And then once he gets back into the rhythm, gets
- 43:09Speaker 4: through his ramp up by you know, by fire, basically
- 43:13Speaker 4: just right in the fire, gets back ramped up. Then
- 43:16Speaker 4: you have the two added monster Dorian can get back
- 43:18Speaker 4: some snaps, and you know, so it feels like they're
- 43:21Speaker 4: doing it purposely, not to anti Dorian, but to force
- 43:25Speaker 4: Milano to get like, Okay, we're gonna give you every
- 43:28Speaker 4: snap to get into it. Like and I don't know
- 43:30Speaker 4: if I agree with it.
- 43:31Speaker 2: It's the locker room dynamics, you know, and like how
- 43:34Speaker 2: this guy has been they usually.
- 43:36Speaker 4: Do, but obviously they're just pumping Matt Milano and like, okay,
- 43:40Speaker 4: we got to get you ready by fire.
- 43:42Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I'll let you off the hook on
- 43:44Speaker 1: that one. It was just interesting and you.
- 43:46Speaker 4: Don't I don't necessarily like it because it's it's not
- 43:48Speaker 4: what they usually do.
- 43:49Speaker 3: And Dorian Williams has earned his snacks.
- 43:52Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought that that That's that's all I'm trying
- 43:54Speaker 1: to say.
- 43:54Speaker 2: I thought that he had earned the opportunity to let
- 43:57Speaker 2: fifty eight come back at his own pace and let
- 43:59Speaker 2: him kind of ease back into this thing. And not
- 44:02Speaker 2: only did they throw them in the deep end, but
- 44:04Speaker 2: you know, like I said, just he hasn't been swimming,
- 44:06Speaker 2: he hasn't been treading water. Has not looked good for
- 44:08Speaker 2: him thus far, and again that's to be expected. So
- 44:11Speaker 2: if you would have expected him to be a little
- 44:13Speaker 2: bit rusty, then why I take off? You know, a
- 44:15Speaker 2: guy who would I think that it was trying to
- 44:17Speaker 2: find a way to come into his own that type
- 44:19Speaker 2: of thing. So that's neither here nor there. Well we'll
- 44:21Speaker 2: see that's a smaller little morsel for you guys.
- 44:24Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey didn't go out.
- 44:25Speaker 4: Who knows we would have been Maybe it was a
- 44:27Speaker 4: this is a conversation we're having last week, you know,
- 44:29Speaker 4: you never know.
- 44:31Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Now, as we begin to transition to wrap up,
- 44:34Speaker 2: before we get to the Tailgate report, I wanted to
- 44:36Speaker 2: get your prediction on on this week and what you
- 44:39Speaker 2: think about it, because again, I think it's going to
- 44:41Speaker 2: be high scoring game. I think that it's going to be,
- 44:44Speaker 2: you know, not just because the defense played bad last week.
- 44:47Speaker 2: That's not why I'm saying that. We've obviously seen, you know,
- 44:50Speaker 2: the Lions score. They're the number one scoring offense in
- 44:52Speaker 2: the league. The Bill's are number two. For Bill's Mafia
- 44:55Speaker 2: nicol City crew out there, we're right below them. I
- 44:57Speaker 2: think they're averaging like thirty two and a half points
- 44:59Speaker 2: a game. We're right below them. So these are two
- 45:01Speaker 2: great offenses getting ready to go after it. And one
- 45:04Speaker 2: of the things that I was going to be looking
- 45:05Speaker 2: at is you talked about Saint Brown. I was gonna
- 45:08Speaker 2: be I had not seen the cornerbacks kind of taken
- 45:11Speaker 2: advantage of the way that they were by Nicole and
- 45:14Speaker 2: Coop and Cooper Cup. And it'll be interesting because it
- 45:17Speaker 2: doesn't get any easier with Saint Brown and Jamison Williams, Like,
- 45:20Speaker 2: it just doesn't. There's there's no really where to hide.
- 45:24Speaker 2: Tomorrow one Sunday for those guys. You got to get
- 45:27Speaker 2: your shit together. Now you've got to You got wrapped, Yeah,
- 45:31Speaker 2: you got rap hurt. You got hamdling a little bit
- 45:34Speaker 2: banged up. I doubt that they throw hide into the
- 45:37Speaker 2: water just getting off the street and coming back regardless
- 45:39Speaker 2: of his conditioning.
- 45:41Speaker 1: DT. This could be a situation where we're right back
- 45:44Speaker 1: where we were last week, where you got to score,
- 45:46Speaker 1: You're gonna have to score point.
- 45:48Speaker 2: I'm not coming into this game basically thinking that the
- 45:51Speaker 2: defense is going to hold up.
- 45:52Speaker 1: How about that that's the best way to put it.
- 45:53Speaker 4: Sure, but in the last in the last eight games,
- 45:56Speaker 4: to score thirty or more, you know so, But I
- 46:00Speaker 4: I'm you know, glass half full, obviously, but I'm looking
- 46:04Speaker 4: at this in a sharp in a sharp way here
- 46:06Speaker 4: of last week. I told you, you know, to kind
- 46:09Speaker 4: of go back to the to the gambling forefront because
- 46:12Speaker 4: not that the NFL is rigged or anything like that,
- 46:14Speaker 4: I'm not saying.
- 46:15Speaker 3: That, but that line, that line last week was a
- 46:18Speaker 3: little low.
- 46:19Speaker 4: You know, that was a little low last week if
- 46:21Speaker 4: it was only a three point spread, and I think
- 46:24Speaker 4: it baited the public into Hammer and the Bills and
- 46:27Speaker 4: knowing that, you know, they kind of overlooked like they
- 46:30Speaker 4: it was a little hangover from the Snow Division title
- 46:33Speaker 4: to go across the country and they were gonna get
- 46:35Speaker 4: punched in the mouth a little bit, and that's exactly
- 46:37Speaker 4: what happened. So that's what made me nervous about last week.
- 46:40Speaker 4: This week, I think it's totally opposite. I think people
- 46:43Speaker 4: now are totally underestimating that one to seven just had
- 46:47Speaker 4: six touchdowns, the best fantasy quarterback performance ever with six
- 46:53Speaker 4: touchdowns last week. I think they're completely underestimating that and saying, oh,
- 46:57Speaker 4: the Rams aren't that good and hung forty on them.
- 47:00Speaker 4: Lions are the best offense we've seen in a while.
- 47:02Speaker 4: They're gonna hang you know, they're gonna hang a bunch
- 47:04Speaker 4: of points on him too. I think it's a nice
- 47:06Speaker 4: bounce back opportunity. I think it's it's the Lions turn
- 47:09Speaker 4: to kind of have their faulter. The Bills had that
- 47:11Speaker 4: this nice streak and then they kind of got a
- 47:13Speaker 4: little little stumble. I think it's the Lions turned to
- 47:15Speaker 4: stumble a little on their end and see a little
- 47:18Speaker 4: bit of their own medicine. And that defense has, you know,
- 47:21Speaker 4: thirteen guys on some shit. So you know, what's what's
- 47:25Speaker 4: slowing one to seven down, especially now like the dude
- 47:28Speaker 4: is playing his best football. We've probably seen since that year,
- 47:33Speaker 4: you know, the the thirteen second year, and probably just
- 47:35Speaker 4: as good you know, in the past past four or
- 47:37Speaker 4: five games that he's he's put out. So I'm glass
- 47:41Speaker 4: half full here. Bounce back mentality, the the vibes and
- 47:44Speaker 4: the thing. I think the public is gonna shift now
- 47:47Speaker 4: to the Lions, like, oh, the Bills just got forty
- 47:49Speaker 4: hung on them, So the Lions are gonna kill him.
- 47:50Speaker 4: And it's like, nah, that dude wants seven. Just had
- 47:53Speaker 4: six cuddies as well in that game. He's coming back.
- 47:55Speaker 4: He's never lost in Ford Field. Some miracles, you know,
- 47:58Speaker 4: you saw one right in front of your face. So
- 48:02Speaker 4: that's where I'm at. I'm in the confident bounce back game,
- 48:05Speaker 4: looking at it in a sharp point of view of
- 48:08Speaker 4: you know, public's gonna be heavy on Detroit.
- 48:10Speaker 3: It's a hot team to like Bills. Bills are those dudes,
- 48:14Speaker 3: So that that's.
- 48:14Speaker 4: Kind of where I'm at with it to at least
- 48:16Speaker 4: help myself get to sleep to Sunday.
- 48:18Speaker 2: Oh, I love it, I love it. I love you
- 48:20Speaker 2: so much to DT you always. I just paid the
- 48:23Speaker 2: lady at the front desk. I gave her my Bills
- 48:26Speaker 2: Mafia insurance card and I said.
- 48:28Speaker 1: I need to go talk to doctor DT.
- 48:30Speaker 2: And again you talked me off the ledge, but you
- 48:32Speaker 2: definitely didn't talk me off the ledge with with Withchel McDermott.
- 48:34Speaker 1: I'm watching that motherfucker real, real close.
- 48:37Speaker 4: And you, I'm with you that, I'll give you that
- 48:40Speaker 4: and you and I but I will say, like I said,
- 48:43Speaker 4: I kind of a throwaway game, if you will, if
- 48:47Speaker 4: it happens in the playoffs, I'll eat my words.
- 48:49Speaker 3: That is what it is. And then we got a
- 48:50Speaker 3: really tough conversation I have.
- 48:51Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's where we're at.
- 48:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that I had just got I had
- 48:55Speaker 2: worked myself up to accepting the possibility of Detroit loss,
- 49:01Speaker 2: staying one game behind Kansas City that I'd never even
- 49:04Speaker 2: I didn't.
- 49:04Speaker 1: I'll be honest.
- 49:05Speaker 2: I didn't give much credence to the to the Rams
- 49:07Speaker 2: beating us, and I can I can put my hand
- 49:09Speaker 2: up and cop to that. I thought we'd win the game,
- 49:11Speaker 2: and I don't know if it'd be close or blowout.
- 49:12Speaker 2: I did not really factor in that we could lose
- 49:15Speaker 2: it because I was so focused on this week, in
- 49:18Speaker 2: this big primal matchup. Now again, as we begin to
- 49:20Speaker 2: conclude tonight, they're calling a Super Bowl fifty nine preview,
- 49:25Speaker 2: possibly the Bills.
- 49:25Speaker 1: I think it's Bills. I think it's Chiefs.
- 49:28Speaker 2: Lions are number one most likely odds for the Super Bowl,
- 49:32Speaker 2: and I think right after that is Bill's Lions. So
- 49:34Speaker 2: it'll be interesting to see. I know my sisters there
- 49:37Speaker 2: in Detroit, and she's going to be watching as well.
- 49:38Speaker 2: She's a Bills fan, obviously member of the MOBA, but
- 49:41Speaker 2: she's a CBS or a Fox. It is a CBS game. Yeah,
- 49:45Speaker 2: interesting obviously, yeahs Romo, so we should enjoy it. As
- 49:50Speaker 2: we begin to wrap up tonight, I really appreciate your
- 49:52Speaker 2: time tonight, DT. I wanted to get through it. I
- 49:55Speaker 2: wanted to talk about it. I'm mad about all three decisions.
- 49:59Speaker 2: Once again that that seems to ring a bell, and
- 50:02Speaker 2: because of that, I'm going to be continuing to watch him.
- 50:04Speaker 2: I've always been watching Sean mcnerbbers since thirteen seconds. But
- 50:07Speaker 2: I was really disheartened. Again, I'll put my hand up.
- 50:10Speaker 2: As we closed tonight, I did not think we were
- 50:13Speaker 2: going to win the game, and we were already down seventeen.
- 50:15Speaker 2: Once we were down seventeen, I was like, damn man,
- 50:17Speaker 2: we gave this game up, it's over. Once Josh Allen
- 50:21Speaker 2: put on the cape and I was like, oh shit,
- 50:23Speaker 2: we might have a chance to win this thing. Once
- 50:26Speaker 2: he called that time out, I knew it was over.
- 50:28Speaker 2: Anytime you have non sit kick, that's pretty much the
- 50:30Speaker 2: end of it. So as we were begin to close
- 50:32Speaker 2: up tonight tonight Nickel City Crew Tailgate Report presented by

- 54:30Speaker 1: That So.
- 54:32Speaker 3: Next year when I'm in town, good report, good report there.
- 54:37Speaker 3: That's it's chill. Same. So we come in, uh Sunday,
- 54:41Speaker 3: trying to think of what the weather was like. Not
- 54:45Speaker 3: too bad.
- 54:46Speaker 4: Was warming up from the from the you know, the
- 54:48Speaker 4: cold and the snow from the week before. Hit Up,
- 54:52Speaker 4: hit Up Southern Tier downtown. It used to be seven
- 54:54Speaker 4: to one six right right downtown. Uh. Massive, Like it's
- 54:59Speaker 4: like a four hundred foot screen I think, or something
- 55:03Speaker 4: a main screen, and then they have other a bunch
- 55:05Speaker 4: of other TVs. Drinks aren't bad. Uh So I went
- 55:10Speaker 4: down there with the boys a little earlier, you know, but.
- 55:13Speaker 1: It was it.
- 55:15Speaker 3: I don't know, I've I've done.
- 55:17Speaker 4: I've a little out of my comfort zone on the
- 55:20Speaker 4: you know, on the games this year, on the away
- 55:22Speaker 4: games are kind of getting out and about a little
- 55:24Speaker 4: bit more than I usually do. If I'm not at
- 55:26Speaker 4: the game, I like being in in the living room.
- 55:28Speaker 1: You've been more than you've ever been since I've known.
- 55:31Speaker 3: You, and that and that also results in, you know,
- 55:34Speaker 3: some tough mondays.
- 55:35Speaker 4: So I think I'm gonna dial that back a little
- 55:37Speaker 4: New Year's resolution for the rest of the season to
- 55:40Speaker 4: kind of chill with that, because obviously it's not cheap either.
- 55:44Speaker 4: Right downtown, you know, you're there for you're there for
- 55:46Speaker 4: the game, you're not really thinking about it, and then
- 55:48Speaker 4: the tab comes, you know. So I had a good time.
- 55:52Speaker 4: I recommend it. It's a good place to watch the game.
- 55:54Speaker 4: It was a decent crowd. I will say though, that
- 55:57Speaker 4: when a couple of weeks ago when we went to
- 55:59Speaker 4: Mister Goodbar, it was way more popping.
- 56:01Speaker 3: It was way more lit there. I would go there,
- 56:03Speaker 3: I would I would go there again. That was a
- 56:04Speaker 3: good time. But yeah, yeah, but no no qualms. Southern Tier.
- 56:09Speaker 3: We left at halftime, came.
- 56:10Speaker 1: Back now where it's Southern Tier.
- 56:13Speaker 3: Right right downtown connected to the Sabers Arena.
- 56:15Speaker 1: It used to be call.
- 56:18Speaker 2: Yeah thats used to own Yeah, yes, yes, yes, okay,
- 56:23Speaker 2: so they refer to.
- 56:26Speaker 3: It's a really cool place. But it just it, don't
- 56:28Speaker 3: it doesn't get love.
- 56:29Speaker 4: You know a little bit before Sabers games, people have
- 56:32Speaker 4: a few and then they walk over to the game
- 56:35Speaker 4: Bills games. It was decent, but it's not like a
- 56:38Speaker 4: you would think, you know, a big time like Saturday
- 56:42Speaker 4: or something, it's popping in there, and it's really not.
- 56:44Speaker 4: It's kind of dead in there at all times unless
- 56:46Speaker 4: a Bill, Bills or Savers are playing.
- 56:48Speaker 1: So you had about seats or anything like that. You
- 56:52Speaker 1: had a place to sit, you didn't have to.
- 56:53Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, it wasn't It wasn't crazy.
- 56:57Speaker 1: So not bad.
- 56:58Speaker 3: You know, chill got bad here. Finish it out and
- 57:02Speaker 3: you know, watch watch the Tough One.
- 57:04Speaker 2: Yeah, we watched the Tough One. Well, we'll see how
- 57:06Speaker 2: it goes this weekend as we begin to wrap up tonight.

- 59:38Speaker 2: close game.
- 59:39Speaker 1: DT.
- 59:39Speaker 2: I'm expecting close game, whether it be fireworks or a
- 59:42Speaker 2: defensive struggle. We know that Dan Cambll's gonna have his
- 59:45Speaker 2: team ready to play. I expect Sean McDermott to uh
- 59:48Speaker 2: to kind of bounce back and have everybody all t's crossed,
- 59:51Speaker 2: all eyes downed. This week, everybody should be hyper focused
- 59:54Speaker 2: because this is probably not probably this is the biggest
- 59:57Speaker 2: game of the regular season.
- 59:58Speaker 1: Less that's left.
- 59:59Speaker 4: Agree us back, Let's go. This is the NFL. You
- 1:00:01Speaker 4: want to be at the highest by the stool. You
- 1:00:03Speaker 4: want to be a super Bowl contender, you want to
- 1:00:05Speaker 4: be talked about. You want Josh Allen to be the MVP.
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: Let's go.
- 1:00:08Speaker 4: These are the games everyone's watching. These are the games
- 1:00:10Speaker 4: you gotta win. It was the Chiefs a few weeks ago.
- 1:00:13Speaker 4: The forty nine ers obviously got the Rams. Was the
- 1:00:16Speaker 4: game of the week, so everyone saw that it was.
- 1:00:18Speaker 4: It was the national game. Uh, this is this is
- 1:00:20Speaker 4: talking about you gotta do and I'm pumped. Why why
- 1:00:25Speaker 4: wouldn't you want to play these dudes? Why wouldn't you
- 1:00:27Speaker 4: want to you know, have a litmus test in this regard,
- 1:00:29Speaker 4: So let's go. Let's have a day bounce back game.
- 1:00:32Speaker 4: If anything, as well, it's making us very intrigued in
- 1:00:35Speaker 4: rooting efforts.
