There's not going 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:43.840 to be much of that, if any of that, on today's 00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:46.140 episode. Heading into this week. Prepping for 00:00:46.140 --> 00:00:48.240 the show, that wasn't my intention, but with 00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.820 the craziness of what has gone down over the 00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:53.579 last few days and specifically the last few hours, 00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:56.439 I'm sure you all will understand. So I was about 00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:59.560 to sit down and record this podcast earlier this 00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:01.859 morning when the news broke about the firing 00:01:01.859 --> 00:01:05.239 of coach Sean McDermott. That's obviously thrown 00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:09.640 everything into a state of chaos. And as I've 00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.459 tried to sit down and adjust my notes and adjust 00:01:12.459 --> 00:01:14.939 my outline, more and more information has trickled. 00:01:14.950 --> 00:01:18.310 in. And so, yeah, we're just going to kind of, 00:01:18.329 --> 00:01:20.349 I'm going to try to follow my notes. I'm going 00:01:20.349 --> 00:01:23.430 to try to stay calm. But yeah, it's a lot to 00:01:23.430 --> 00:01:26.650 take in. It's a lot to digest as a Bills fan. 00:01:26.890 --> 00:01:29.730 And so what was my first reaction? I would say 00:01:29.730 --> 00:01:33.109 shock. Shock was my first reaction. Look, been 00:01:33.109 --> 00:01:35.510 a Bills fan for a very, very, very long time. 00:01:35.609 --> 00:01:38.569 We're coming up on 40 years of being a fan, right? 00:01:38.870 --> 00:01:42.439 I'm 46 years old. I have seen a ton of coaches. 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:45.140 This isn't Chan Gailey. This isn't Dick Geron. 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.439 This isn't Rex Ryan. This is a coach in Sean 00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:51.719 McDermott who has come in and who has literally 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:55.540 changed the entire organization from top to bottom. 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.239 And he has helped get us. And when I say us, 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:03.439 I mean, not just the organization, not just the 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.219 bills, but Western New York, right? He has helped 00:02:06.219 --> 00:02:09.530 get. this team, this franchise out of the pit 00:02:09.530 --> 00:02:13.009 of irrelevancy and no longer are the Bills a 00:02:13.009 --> 00:02:15.110 complete laughingstock to the entire league, 00:02:15.229 --> 00:02:18.330 to football fans. I mean, once we hit the drought 00:02:18.330 --> 00:02:19.669 and once we were in the middle of the drought, 00:02:19.750 --> 00:02:22.449 that's what we were. We were a irrelevant franchise 00:02:22.449 --> 00:02:25.750 and we were considered the laughingstock and 00:02:25.750 --> 00:02:28.030 the butt of all jokes. And to a lot of people, 00:02:28.069 --> 00:02:30.050 we still are because we can't win the big one. 00:02:30.150 --> 00:02:32.669 But it's sad, right? I'm looking at this and 00:02:32.669 --> 00:02:34.870 Sean McDermott is not like some of these other 00:02:34.870 --> 00:02:36.710 coaches that we've had through the drought years. 00:02:37.150 --> 00:02:40.229 So in that respect, I'm sad for McDermott. I'm 00:02:40.229 --> 00:02:42.909 sad because he's done so much in the last nine 00:02:42.909 --> 00:02:45.490 years and I absolutely respect the hell out of 00:02:45.490 --> 00:02:47.960 him. Were there times he has made me incredibly 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.419 angry, incredibly frustrated as a fan? Absolutely. 00:02:51.620 --> 00:02:53.860 Absolutely. And I can't lie and tell you that 00:02:53.860 --> 00:02:56.120 there weren't times. There are times that I was 00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.939 extremely frustrated and I called him Coach McClappy 00:02:58.939 --> 00:03:01.659 and I just losing my mind over the stupid defensive 00:03:01.659 --> 00:03:04.379 timeouts. But I think, I think for the most part, 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:07.439 as he has gone through his nine years with this 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.719 team, with this organization, I think for the 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:11.740 most part, he has learned from his mistakes. 00:03:11.780 --> 00:03:15.120 I do believe. that as a coach and as a leader 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.080 of this team, as a leader of men, he has continued 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.439 to evolve. I do truly believe that he cared for 00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.300 this team, for this city. I think he has cared 00:03:24.300 --> 00:03:26.979 about the history of this franchise and what 00:03:26.979 --> 00:03:29.819 this franchise and team has meant to Western 00:03:29.819 --> 00:03:33.319 New York. And I think what winning means to Western 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:35.819 New York. I think he cares. I think he legitimately 00:03:35.819 --> 00:03:39.240 cares about those things. I think the players 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.620 love to play for him. And I think they love him 00:03:42.620 --> 00:03:46.080 as a, leader of men and as a leader of the franchise. 00:03:46.340 --> 00:03:49.159 And as you could see, as the news is breaking 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.620 and as certain social media accounts from current 00:03:51.620 --> 00:03:54.960 players are starting to make their posts and 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.819 stuff, I think you could see this actually in 00:03:57.819 --> 00:04:00.520 what players are responding. He is well -liked. 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.900 In fact, he's loved by his players, by the Bills 00:04:03.900 --> 00:04:05.840 players. But having said all that, sometimes, 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:08.539 sometimes I think despite the success, despite 00:04:08.539 --> 00:04:11.319 him coming in and changing the culture of the 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.199 franchise, I think sometimes change is absolutely 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.779 necessary. And I think that goes for all of us 00:04:16.779 --> 00:04:19.259 in life. It's so easy to get stagnant. It's so 00:04:19.259 --> 00:04:21.779 easy to stay in a bubble. It's so easy to never 00:04:21.779 --> 00:04:24.139 take chances, never take risks. But sometimes 00:04:24.139 --> 00:04:26.720 I think things just have to be shaken completely 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:29.600 up in order to move forward. And that goes for 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.259 us, it goes for you, it goes for me, it goes 00:04:31.259 --> 00:04:33.439 for everybody. Sometimes you have to move forward 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.100 and you can only move forward by making changes, 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.480 by shaking things up. So as a diehard Bills fan, 00:04:39.660 --> 00:04:42.279 I hope that this is a case where a shakeup is 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:46.339 absolutely necessary to find that next level 00:04:46.339 --> 00:04:49.259 of success, which ultimately should be a Super 00:04:49.259 --> 00:04:51.500 Bowl trophy. Now, I think Sean McDermott will 00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:54.480 instantly get a job. There are so many open jobs 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.920 in the NFL right now. In fact, I think I would 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.519 argue he will have his pick. He will have his 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.220 choice of many of the jobs that are currently 00:05:03.220 --> 00:05:05.720 on the table because I think he is so well -respected. 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.480 I think he is well -liked, and I think he can 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:10.740 come in and clean up a lot of these trash culture 00:05:10.740 --> 00:05:13.480 jobs that are out there. There's a lot of terrible 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:15.800 franchises right now that are just at the bottom 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.279 of the dumps. They're in a dumpster somewhere, 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.100 and they need someone to get all the crap together. 00:05:21.769 --> 00:05:24.670 and find a way forward or find a way to the light. 00:05:25.149 --> 00:05:28.389 Because, oh my gosh, how many dumpster franchises 00:05:28.389 --> 00:05:30.790 are there right now? There's a good number, at 00:05:30.790 --> 00:05:33.470 least five to eight that are just in total disarray. 00:05:33.509 --> 00:05:35.569 So I don't think he's going to have any difficulty 00:05:35.569 --> 00:05:38.790 finding a team. And I think he's going to be 00:05:38.790 --> 00:05:40.870 a welcome addition to any of those down -on -their 00:05:40.870 --> 00:05:42.709 -luck franchises, down -on -their -luck organizations. 00:05:42.889 --> 00:05:45.250 I think he will go wherever he wants. And I think 00:05:45.250 --> 00:05:48.009 ultimately he will help them find success. But 00:05:48.009 --> 00:05:50.050 here's what I have a problem with. There's no 00:05:50.050 --> 00:05:54.449 way you can objectively look at this 2025 Bills 00:05:54.449 --> 00:05:58.009 season and blame Sean McDermott for the outcome 00:05:58.009 --> 00:06:00.589 of this year. I have come on this podcast. I 00:06:00.589 --> 00:06:02.569 have done my game previews. I have talked so 00:06:02.569 --> 00:06:05.829 much week to week about this team. And it started 00:06:05.829 --> 00:06:08.490 all the way back in training camp, even before 00:06:08.490 --> 00:06:10.550 training camp. And it continued all through the 00:06:10.550 --> 00:06:13.670 season, into the playoffs, up until losing to 00:06:13.670 --> 00:06:16.689 Denver on Saturday afternoon, which eventually... 00:06:17.149 --> 00:06:19.310 during this show, we will get to it. But I have 00:06:19.310 --> 00:06:21.629 said from the beginning, this is a significantly 00:06:21.629 --> 00:06:25.600 flawed roster that just got worse. as the season 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.319 wore on, as the injuries piled up, and given 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.480 the bag of tools that he was handed to make things 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.899 work this year, I think this season is by far 00:06:32.899 --> 00:06:35.500 his finest coaching performance of them all. 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.139 And it's like, do you ask any people in other 00:06:38.139 --> 00:06:41.439 industries to do a job and not give them the 00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:44.439 tools needed to succeed? Do you ask, do you hire 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:48.040 some construction worker to build you a house 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:49.639 and you give them a bunch of tools that are all 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:53.259 broken and busted up and not sharp and not ready 00:06:53.259 --> 00:06:56.100 to go? Do you hire a mechanic to fix your car 00:06:56.100 --> 00:06:58.920 and then expect them to use worn broken parts 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.480 to replace the ones that you need fixing in your 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.379 car? No. So it's like the garbage he was handed 00:07:04.379 --> 00:07:06.439 this year was absolutely crazy. But somehow. 00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.240 Coach McDermott managed to make it work. And 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.220 the thing that absolutely blows my mind about 00:07:11.220 --> 00:07:15.079 this whole situation and as the hours have unfolded 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:16.839 during this day and more and more information 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.240 has come forward, the thing that absolutely blows 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.639 my mind is the genius who handed McDermott these 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.980 garbage tools and expected him to do a great 00:07:25.980 --> 00:07:28.139 job, Uncle Scrooge McBean, the winner of the 00:07:28.139 --> 00:07:30.819 2025 I Got You On My Sites TB Award, for God's 00:07:30.819 --> 00:07:33.500 sake, was literally given a promotion and he 00:07:33.500 --> 00:07:37.019 was rewarded for the atrocious job. he did this 00:07:37.019 --> 00:07:39.560 year. Help me understand that. That's the thing 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:41.899 that absolutely blows my mind. And this is where 00:07:41.899 --> 00:07:44.079 I'm really going to try to calm down and not 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:47.300 lose it. But this is what I just don't get. Help 00:07:47.300 --> 00:07:49.980 me make sense of this lunacy because it's absolute 00:07:49.980 --> 00:07:52.519 lunacy to me. And that's where I'm struggling 00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:55.319 with the totality of this thing. You all have 00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:57.819 heard my Brandon Bean rants. I don't think I've 00:07:57.819 --> 00:08:00.220 ever been as mad as I was at the trade deadline 00:08:00.220 --> 00:08:02.980 during the entire season when it came down to. 00:08:03.740 --> 00:08:06.560 Not doing anything at the trade deadline. And 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.480 who was leading the charge of that fiasco? None 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.139 other than Brandon Bean. But even before that, 00:08:12.220 --> 00:08:14.459 well before we got to the trade deadline, he 00:08:14.459 --> 00:08:16.879 rolled into the season with a wide receiver room 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:19.040 that just wasn't good. Is there anyone that can 00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.079 come into the season, whether you follow his 00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:22.860 team or you don't follow his team, and really 00:08:22.860 --> 00:08:24.560 look at the wide receiver room and go, oh yeah, 00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:26.500 they're set. But not only did he say the wide 00:08:26.500 --> 00:08:28.879 receiver room was good, he doubled down on that. 00:08:28.939 --> 00:08:33.139 He goes on local Buffalo radio sports talk shows, 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.730 and he... attacks the host who decide to question 00:08:37.730 --> 00:08:40.509 him on the quality of the wide receiver room. 00:08:40.629 --> 00:08:43.710 And he treats them like complete garbage. He 00:08:43.710 --> 00:08:45.750 looked like a petulant child who didn't get his 00:08:45.750 --> 00:08:47.850 way. And that was even before the season kicked 00:08:47.850 --> 00:08:50.389 off. The hosts were like, hey, why didn't you 00:08:50.389 --> 00:08:52.269 invest more in the wide receiver room? And he's 00:08:52.269 --> 00:08:53.309 like, I don't know what you're talking about. 00:08:53.429 --> 00:08:55.009 This is a great wide receiver room. Look at what 00:08:55.009 --> 00:08:58.730 we did last year. And I'm just like, he got an 00:08:58.730 --> 00:09:01.210 attitude. And like I said, he sounded like a 00:09:01.210 --> 00:09:04.700 spoiled, rotten child on that radio show. for 00:09:04.700 --> 00:09:07.919 the world to see. And this was a subject and 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:12.000 topic of. national sports shows throughout the 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.419 beginning of the season was Bean going on a local 00:09:14.419 --> 00:09:17.340 sports talk radio and just acting like a fool. 00:09:17.500 --> 00:09:20.159 So then to see the roster get depleted with injury 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:23.240 after injury and all he does is simply cherry 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:25.980 pick practice squad guys. He brings back guys 00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:28.019 off the couch who literally haven't played in 00:09:28.019 --> 00:09:31.039 weeks or months. He pulls guys who have been 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:33.440 here before who are way past their prime outside 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.960 of Jordan Poyer. He doesn't add anybody of any 00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.850 juice to this team. And so it's just astonishing 00:09:39.850 --> 00:09:42.029 to me. But as I said before, the icing on the 00:09:42.029 --> 00:09:44.490 cake and the thing that made me so frustrated, 00:09:44.750 --> 00:09:48.049 I was so mad at the trade deadline to just see 00:09:48.049 --> 00:09:50.990 him have this deal and then just get so matter 00:09:50.990 --> 00:09:53.149 of fact to say, oh, that's too much. And it was 00:09:53.149 --> 00:09:55.309 literally the same deal that we had on the table 00:09:55.309 --> 00:09:57.710 for Jalen Waddell and his just lack of inactivity 00:09:57.710 --> 00:10:01.789 to not go get Josh a legit weapon. It just made 00:10:01.789 --> 00:10:05.110 me lose my mind. And I still stand by my reaction 00:10:05.110 --> 00:10:08.080 at the trade deadline. Don't tell me about his 00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.940 additions of Brandon Cooks and Mecole Hardman. 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:12.360 I don't want to hear about it. And we'll talk 00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:14.379 about that, those two guys, when we get to the 00:10:14.379 --> 00:10:16.980 game. But those are not needle movers. Those 00:10:16.980 --> 00:10:19.639 are not players that you bring in to alter the 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.399 course of your franchise in the second half or 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:25.299 the back half of the season. And now, after all 00:10:25.299 --> 00:10:27.940 that, after the season's over, after the fiasco 00:10:27.940 --> 00:10:30.940 of a season by your general manager, Your owner, 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.679 Terry Pagula, he's actually going to reward his 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:36.259 ineptitude and give this clown a promotion? Are 00:10:36.259 --> 00:10:38.539 you kidding me? To find out he is now the head 00:10:38.539 --> 00:10:40.620 of football operations as well as the general 00:10:40.620 --> 00:10:44.519 manager? Terry Pagula, I hope to God you are 00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.100 right. And maybe it'll come out down the road 00:10:47.100 --> 00:10:50.320 in a few days or two or a couple weeks from now, 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.139 maybe months. I don't know. Maybe there's information 00:10:52.139 --> 00:10:54.899 that I, you, me, the media, Bill's Mafia, that 00:10:54.899 --> 00:10:57.120 we're not privy to, that maybe there's some nonsense 00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.340 happening behind the scenes. There's a power 00:11:00.340 --> 00:11:04.000 struggle of some epic proportion between McDermott 00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:06.500 and Pagula. I don't know, but you could see it 00:11:06.500 --> 00:11:08.799 play out during this season. Some of the comments 00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:11.799 that Sean was making, almost taking subtle jabs 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:15.299 at Brandon Bean about some of the roster construction 00:11:15.299 --> 00:11:17.299 and whatnot. You could tell that there was some 00:11:17.299 --> 00:11:20.279 sort of power struggle occurring behind the scenes 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:22.940 earlier this year. Never in my wildest dreams 00:11:22.940 --> 00:11:25.019 would I have guessed that Brandon Bean would 00:11:25.019 --> 00:11:28.039 be the one to win out. And not only not get canned, 00:11:28.220 --> 00:11:30.980 but then be granted what is essentially total 00:11:30.980 --> 00:11:34.700 control over this football team. Let me repeat 00:11:34.700 --> 00:11:37.659 that so you all absolutely know what is happening 00:11:37.659 --> 00:11:40.500 here. This is total control of your football 00:11:40.500 --> 00:11:42.700 team. So if you didn't like where he was taking 00:11:42.700 --> 00:11:45.120 the team before, well, you better get ready, 00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:47.700 Mafia. You better get ready because now he has 00:11:47.700 --> 00:11:51.440 total autonomy. He is now in charge of finding 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:53.519 your new coach. He's going to run the draft. 00:11:53.740 --> 00:11:56.019 He will literally do it all. So how does that 00:11:56.019 --> 00:11:58.700 very statement make you feel now that he has 00:11:58.700 --> 00:12:02.019 total control over this team? So I just keep 00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:04.480 going back to the same over and over again. Terry 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:07.779 Pugula, you had better be right. You better be 00:12:07.779 --> 00:12:10.990 right. There's no way out of this. And already, 00:12:11.129 --> 00:12:13.889 already, if you get on social media, holy cow, 00:12:14.009 --> 00:12:16.350 if you were on social media from about 9 to, 00:12:16.450 --> 00:12:19.649 I don't know, 12 o 'clock today, it's chaos. 00:12:19.990 --> 00:12:22.970 With the rumors flying all over the place, you 00:12:22.970 --> 00:12:26.309 can fill in any name you want. Any name you want 00:12:26.309 --> 00:12:32.100 of... of a coach uh any any coaching name that's 00:12:32.100 --> 00:12:34.139 out there and it's linked to the bills right 00:12:34.139 --> 00:12:36.600 but the ones that keep coming back to the top 00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:40.720 of the list brian dable joe brady and davis webb 00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:43.100 why because all three of these guys have current 00:12:43.100 --> 00:12:45.840 or previous ties to the organization can you 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.139 imagine for a single second if we hired joe brady 00:12:48.139 --> 00:12:52.679 oh my goodness gracious i just how I know how 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:54.960 I will react to that. How will you all react 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:57.299 to that? Joe Brady, Brian Dayball, Joe Brady, 00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:00.500 Davis Webb. Oh man, I just don't know. Maybe 00:13:00.500 --> 00:13:02.519 I could get on board with Brian Dayball. Davis 00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:05.039 Webb doesn't have any coaching experience. He's 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:06.620 never been a coordinator. He's never been a head 00:13:06.620 --> 00:13:08.580 coach. He's been a quarterback's coach. And you're 00:13:08.580 --> 00:13:10.320 telling me that this bright young mind is going 00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:12.980 to lead the 2026 Buffalo Bills to the promised 00:13:12.980 --> 00:13:16.000 land? Okay. But Joe Brady? Oh my gosh. Can you 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.580 imagine for a single second if Joe Brady is promoted? 00:13:18.820 --> 00:13:22.080 How? Will you react to that? But other names, 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:25.840 Mike McCarthy. How about Cliff Kingsbury? He 00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:28.500 was OC of the Commanders. What do we think about 00:13:28.500 --> 00:13:31.159 that name? How about Clint Kubiak? Now, hey, 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.120 sure. The Seahawks are rolling. The Seahawks 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.000 are rolling right now. And Sam Darnold's leading 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:39.259 the way. Are you telling me that Sam is better 00:13:39.259 --> 00:13:41.580 than Josh Allen? I don't think so. But other 00:13:41.580 --> 00:13:45.120 names, Brian Flores. He's a defensive guru. Mike 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:47.799 Tomlin? Yeah, Mike Tomlin. We are already talking 00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:50.799 about Mike Tomlin coaching the Bills. I'm listening 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.539 to call -in shows, and there's mafia. There's 00:13:54.539 --> 00:13:57.759 some of you out there who have actually said 00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:00.200 this on the air. Oh, I want to see Mike Tomlin 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:02.659 be brought in here to lead this team. Y 'all 00:14:02.659 --> 00:14:04.480 have lost your freaking minds. You've lost your 00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:06.100 minds. But if you could have your pick of the 00:14:06.100 --> 00:14:08.159 litter, who are you taking? I bet we get 10 different 00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:10.649 answers. God help us if Mike Tomlin is at the 00:14:10.649 --> 00:14:13.370 top of that list or Joe Brady. But here's where 00:14:13.370 --> 00:14:15.389 I stand. This is where I stand. If you are willing 00:14:15.389 --> 00:14:17.649 to move on from Sean McDermott, it better be 00:14:17.649 --> 00:14:20.629 because you are going in a completely different 00:14:20.629 --> 00:14:24.029 direction. You can't possibly go from one defensive 00:14:24.029 --> 00:14:26.330 head coach to another. So some of the names that 00:14:26.330 --> 00:14:28.279 I just mentioned, they are out. They're out. 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.179 You need an offensive guru to pair with Josh 00:14:31.179 --> 00:14:33.039 Allen. You need to get him some new weapons. 00:14:33.220 --> 00:14:35.539 Yes, I'm talking to you, Brandon Bean, who is 00:14:35.539 --> 00:14:38.159 now president of the freaking football operations. 00:14:38.700 --> 00:14:41.500 And you actually need to utilize the weapons 00:14:41.500 --> 00:14:43.919 you have. Specifically, I'm talking about Dalton 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:46.799 Kincaid. You need to turn him into a dominant 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:49.639 pass catching weapon. So get him some good wide 00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:52.639 receivers. Actually utilize Dalton Kincaid. Get 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:55.679 his knee right this offseason. Have surgery so 00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:57.159 we don't have to keep dealing with this nonsense. 00:14:57.259 --> 00:14:59.820 sense in game management all freaking week every 00:14:59.820 --> 00:15:03.320 week all season get him some dominant wide receivers 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:07.440 get dalton kincaid ready revitalize this offense 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:10.779 and then go full attack mode and go see how many 00:15:10.779 --> 00:15:14.159 points we can run up week after week if you bring 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:16.700 in another defensive guy this fan base is going 00:15:16.700 --> 00:15:19.700 to lose their freaking minds but as far as sticking 00:15:19.700 --> 00:15:22.639 with the same theme if you hire joe brady internally 00:15:23.309 --> 00:15:26.090 Seriously, this puts us right back where we currently 00:15:26.090 --> 00:15:28.509 are. I can't get on board with this signing under 00:15:28.509 --> 00:15:31.809 no circumstances. No circumstances can I sign 00:15:31.809 --> 00:15:34.990 off on a Joe Brady internal hiring. As much as 00:15:34.990 --> 00:15:37.330 I've ranted against him this year, side note, 00:15:37.389 --> 00:15:39.529 he was also a runner -up for the prestigious 00:15:39.529 --> 00:15:42.190 I Got You In My Sights TB award, mind you. But 00:15:42.190 --> 00:15:44.429 him and his five plays of doom, they can go coach 00:15:44.429 --> 00:15:47.169 somewhere else. I don't care. Pick wherever the 00:15:47.169 --> 00:15:49.789 hell you want to go. Please do not let it be 00:15:49.789 --> 00:15:51.710 with this Buffalo Bills team. I want nothing 00:15:51.710 --> 00:15:54.070 to do with that. But if I'm being honest, if 00:15:54.070 --> 00:15:56.309 I'm being honest, Terry Pagula sticking with 00:15:56.309 --> 00:15:59.389 Brandon Bean tells me that Joe Brady is an option 00:15:59.389 --> 00:16:02.730 and is on the table for discussion to lead this 00:16:02.730 --> 00:16:05.250 team. It's like if you follow Terry Pagula and 00:16:05.250 --> 00:16:07.490 how he's handled his organizations, it's either 00:16:07.490 --> 00:16:11.529 change from within or complete inactivity. Just 00:16:11.529 --> 00:16:13.830 look at how he's run the Sabres. Go sign some 00:16:13.830 --> 00:16:17.029 offensive guru, pair him with Josh Allen, get 00:16:17.029 --> 00:16:19.889 him some weapons, unleash Dalton Kincaid, and 00:16:19.889 --> 00:16:22.750 go attack this league and have a whole new dynamic 00:16:22.750 --> 00:16:25.350 look to the offense. And I will sign up for that. 00:16:25.470 --> 00:16:27.629 But to do one of these retreads, to bring in 00:16:27.629 --> 00:16:30.049 Mike Tomlin, oh my gosh, to stick with Joe Brady, 00:16:30.269 --> 00:16:32.710 I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what. 00:16:32.940 --> 00:16:35.799 I will be doing this time next year. So the next 00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:37.779 few days, the next few weeks, they're going to 00:16:37.779 --> 00:16:40.000 be very, very telling. What names will be linked 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:41.720 to interviews? Are there coaches that currently 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:43.720 have jobs that will try to leave to go coach 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:46.200 Josh Allen? I mean, really, if you're a coach 00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:50.039 of some trash franchise, why wouldn't you jump 00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:53.320 at the opportunity to coach Josh Allen? Now, 00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:55.559 as this info has come out and I'm reading socials 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:58.639 and all kinds of stuff, I read some expert claim 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:01.120 that no one will want to come here because they 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:02.990 don't want to work with Brandon Bean. So it's 00:17:02.990 --> 00:17:04.509 going to be really hard for the Bills to find 00:17:04.509 --> 00:17:06.750 a head coach. I'm sorry, but that dude, whoever 00:17:06.750 --> 00:17:09.549 you are, you should not have a job. If you are 00:17:09.549 --> 00:17:11.710 really in football and you are really a football 00:17:11.710 --> 00:17:16.029 commentator and give out content relating to 00:17:16.029 --> 00:17:18.049 the NFL, if you think the Bills are going to 00:17:18.049 --> 00:17:20.710 have trouble filling this position, you're insane. 00:17:21.529 --> 00:17:23.410 This Bill's vacancy should be one of the most 00:17:23.410 --> 00:17:25.730 coveted head coaching positions in the entire 00:17:25.730 --> 00:17:27.849 league. You get an opportunity to work with the 00:17:27.849 --> 00:17:30.049 greatest player on the planet. And not only that, 00:17:30.130 --> 00:17:31.710 but coaching in Buffalo gives you a chance to 00:17:31.710 --> 00:17:33.990 win a Super Bowl in the next few years. And a 00:17:33.990 --> 00:17:36.150 Super Bowl in Western New York brings eternal 00:17:36.150 --> 00:17:40.710 glory to whoever brings it. And you think I'm 00:17:40.710 --> 00:17:43.009 kidding. I'm not kidding. If you're the head 00:17:43.009 --> 00:17:44.589 coach that brings a Super Bowl to Western New 00:17:44.589 --> 00:17:48.130 York, you are eternally thanked. There is glory 00:17:48.130 --> 00:17:50.349 associated with you for the rest of your life. 00:17:50.750 --> 00:17:52.970 So get out of here. Get rid of this noise that 00:17:52.970 --> 00:17:54.950 no one will want this job because of Brandon 00:17:54.950 --> 00:17:57.470 Bean, of all people. As much as I can't stand 00:17:57.470 --> 00:18:00.250 this idea of hiring, of keeping him, and then 00:18:00.250 --> 00:18:02.990 promoting him, I think you're out of your freaking 00:18:02.990 --> 00:18:05.710 mind if you don't think for a second there's 00:18:05.710 --> 00:18:07.910 coaches tied to other teams right now who wouldn't 00:18:07.910 --> 00:18:10.910 jump at the chance to coach Josh Allen. And I 00:18:10.910 --> 00:18:12.529 think that's possible. I think that option is 00:18:12.529 --> 00:18:15.069 on the table. Kyle Shanahan, San Francisco, you 00:18:15.069 --> 00:18:16.789 think he wouldn't jump at the chance to come 00:18:16.789 --> 00:18:20.230 east and coach Josh Allen? He goes, wait, wait, 00:18:20.250 --> 00:18:22.549 wait, wait. I get to go from Brock Purdy to Josh 00:18:22.549 --> 00:18:25.990 Allen? Not that Brock Purdy's bad, but I've used 00:18:25.990 --> 00:18:28.490 every bag that I have in my bag of tricks and 00:18:28.490 --> 00:18:30.130 gotten the most out of Brock Purdy. You're telling 00:18:30.130 --> 00:18:32.470 me I can have the best player on the planet and 00:18:32.470 --> 00:18:35.869 design an offense around him? Sign me up. Whatever 00:18:35.869 --> 00:18:37.589 it takes, go make that happen. I'll trade you 00:18:37.589 --> 00:18:39.490 Terrell Bernard and a second round pick right 00:18:39.490 --> 00:18:42.130 now for Kyle Shanahan. Who says no? How about 00:18:42.130 --> 00:18:45.829 Keon Coleman in a second? That's probably wishful 00:18:45.829 --> 00:18:48.740 thinking at my point, but... wishful thinking 00:18:48.740 --> 00:18:51.500 at this point but you get my point even though 00:18:51.500 --> 00:18:54.200 he scored a sick tutty in the game saturday i 00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:56.240 love that effort love the dive that was great 00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:58.579 maybe his stock went up a little bit so key on 00:18:58.579 --> 00:19:01.680 in a second does that get me kyle shanahan probably 00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:04.720 not but you you get more i'm coming from but 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:06.859 i i guarantee there are current coaches in their 00:19:06.859 --> 00:19:08.759 current situations that are like oh i'm never 00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:11.029 gonna win here How do I get to Buffalo? Hey, 00:19:11.089 --> 00:19:14.130 agent of mine, go see what happens. Go see what 00:19:14.130 --> 00:19:16.089 it would take to get me the hell out of wherever 00:19:16.089 --> 00:19:20.569 crappy city I'm playing and coaching. It'll help 00:19:20.569 --> 00:19:22.829 me go take over the Bills organization. Throw 00:19:22.829 --> 00:19:24.750 my name in that hat. Find out what it's going 00:19:24.750 --> 00:19:26.740 to take to get me out of here. So buckle up, 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:28.740 Mafia. You think the season was a roller coaster? 00:19:28.900 --> 00:19:30.720 Something tells me this off -season is going 00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:32.880 to be insane. And there's not going to be a shortage 00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:34.759 of things to talk about over the next seven months, 00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:37.420 which definitely makes things a lot easier when 00:19:37.420 --> 00:19:39.160 you're recording a podcast on a weekly basis. 00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:41.660 It's just crazy the amount of information, the 00:19:41.660 --> 00:19:44.339 amount of things, the amount of process in one 00:19:44.339 --> 00:19:46.900 Monday morning. It's just insane. But I do want 00:19:46.900 --> 00:19:48.799 to actually talk about the game that happened 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:50.920 on Saturday afternoon because I spent a lot of 00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:54.099 time Sunday as I watched the abysmal Texas Patriots 00:19:54.099 --> 00:19:56.779 game composing my thoughts. Holy cow, C .J. Stroud. 00:19:57.420 --> 00:19:59.720 You know, we want to blast Josh Allen for his 00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:03.000 turnovers, and we will. But holy cow, C .J. Stroud, 00:20:03.099 --> 00:20:06.079 are you capable of completing a pass? It's the 00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:07.759 same thing we talked about with Trevor Lawrence. 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:09.740 It's the same thing we talked about with Justin 00:20:09.740 --> 00:20:12.079 Herbert. It's the same thing. These guys under 00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:14.329 the lights, they choke. So yeah, we're going 00:20:14.329 --> 00:20:17.609 to put a lot of blame on Josh Allen, but he also 00:20:17.609 --> 00:20:21.829 had 14 other playoff games where he was the best 00:20:21.829 --> 00:20:24.690 player on the planet. CJ Stroud has never done 00:20:24.690 --> 00:20:26.650 that. Justin Herbert has never done that. Trevor 00:20:26.650 --> 00:20:29.529 Lawrence, you had never done that. So come talk 00:20:29.529 --> 00:20:31.710 to me when these guys actually have playoff success. 00:20:32.049 --> 00:20:34.089 But yeah, I'm watching this Texans -Patriots 00:20:34.089 --> 00:20:36.829 game just like... Shaking my head in disbelief 00:20:36.829 --> 00:20:38.609 because essentially the winner of that game was 00:20:38.609 --> 00:20:41.190 going to walk into the Super Bowl because Bo 00:20:41.190 --> 00:20:43.049 Nix, lo and behold, broke his freaking ankle 00:20:43.049 --> 00:20:45.150 at the end of the Bills game. And now you're 00:20:45.150 --> 00:20:47.970 telling me that the Patriots are going to have 00:20:47.970 --> 00:20:51.490 any trouble stopping Stidham and this Broncos 00:20:51.490 --> 00:20:53.609 team despite the fact that they're going to play 00:20:53.609 --> 00:20:55.529 in Denver? But after the Bills -Broncos game, 00:20:55.589 --> 00:20:57.269 I needed a day to kind of get myself together 00:20:57.269 --> 00:20:59.250 to try to think rationally about what actually 00:20:59.250 --> 00:21:01.190 happened Saturday afternoon because my emotions 00:21:01.190 --> 00:21:04.440 were flying. off the charts on Saturday. It was 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:07.220 absolutely crushing, losing to the Broncos 33 00:21:07.220 --> 00:21:09.700 to 30 in overtime. And there's so much to say 00:21:09.700 --> 00:21:12.819 about the actual game. Now that we're 24 minutes 00:21:12.819 --> 00:21:14.700 into this podcast, we're going to actually talk 00:21:14.700 --> 00:21:16.680 about the game that happened on Saturday. But 00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:18.160 there's so many things, there's so many ways 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:19.960 to approach it. And so I think what I wanted 00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:22.119 to do is throw it all the way back to episode 00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:25.119 seven of the three Ts. Episode seven, it was 00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:27.380 called Break the Cycle. And it was all about 00:21:27.380 --> 00:21:30.950 the life and the emotional cycle. that we go 00:21:30.950 --> 00:21:33.089 through the emotional rollercoaster of being 00:21:33.089 --> 00:21:34.869 a Bills fan. I talked about it. It's a never 00:21:34.869 --> 00:21:37.710 -ending cycle that goes hope, confidence, heartbreak, 00:21:37.809 --> 00:21:40.869 start all over, repeat it. Hope, confidence, 00:21:41.069 --> 00:21:43.369 heartbreak. So not only did this play itself 00:21:43.369 --> 00:21:45.210 out in the first two weeks of the playoffs, but 00:21:45.210 --> 00:21:47.210 within the whole Denver Broncos game completely. 00:21:47.509 --> 00:21:50.089 The whole cycle played out in one game. I came 00:21:50.089 --> 00:21:52.470 on here for my wildcard preview. I talked about 00:21:52.470 --> 00:21:54.509 the Jags. I said the Jags were a tough matchup. 00:21:54.589 --> 00:21:56.549 I thought the Bills could win, and I thought 00:21:56.549 --> 00:21:59.099 they would win. I predicted them to win. I hoped 00:21:59.099 --> 00:22:00.700 they would win. In fact, they did win, which 00:22:00.700 --> 00:22:03.819 led my confidence going way up. I had hope. I 00:22:03.819 --> 00:22:06.220 believed they could win. They won, and my confidence 00:22:06.220 --> 00:22:08.599 went way up. And this seemed to be what most 00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:11.039 Bills fans were talking about after the Jags 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:12.859 game. The confidence of most of the mafia going 00:22:12.859 --> 00:22:15.559 into Denver was sky high. I think most people 00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:18.700 fell into the camp of they believed the Bills 00:22:18.700 --> 00:22:21.460 could win this game. And if I'm being honest, 00:22:21.579 --> 00:22:25.000 and if I'm a... Objectively looking at the Broncos 00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.000 -Bills game from Saturday afternoon, I think 00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:29.259 there is no part of me that thinks the Bills 00:22:29.259 --> 00:22:32.799 were outplayed by the Broncos. There is no part 00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:35.519 of me that thinks the Broncos outplayed the Buffalo 00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:38.799 Bills. You will never convince me that the Bills 00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:41.619 were outplayed on Saturday afternoon. Never. 00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:44.279 But as the cycle continues, heartache always 00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:47.859 enters into the equation. Always. Always as a 00:22:47.859 --> 00:22:50.279 Bills fan. It always enters into the equation. 00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:53.460 Again, if I'm being objective, just take the 00:22:53.460 --> 00:22:55.180 overtime fiasco out of it. I'm going to get to 00:22:55.180 --> 00:22:56.819 that in a minute. But the heartache is the fact 00:22:56.819 --> 00:22:58.579 that the two best players on the team for the 00:22:58.579 --> 00:23:01.000 entire season, Josh Allen and James Cook, they 00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:04.319 made huge mistakes in the most inopportune times 00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:08.119 in the game. Five total turnovers. Four from 00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:09.880 Josh alone. One of those I'm going to put off 00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:12.240 to the side. We're going to table the last quote 00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:13.980 -unquote interception. We're going to put that 00:23:13.980 --> 00:23:16.599 off to the side. So for now, for the sake of 00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:19.099 this, initial part of the conversation, let's 00:23:19.099 --> 00:23:22.000 say three turnovers for Josh, one for Cook, four 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:24.279 total turnovers. We talked about in the game 00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:26.240 preview about the odds already being stacked 00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:27.960 against the Bills heading into this game. We 00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:29.539 talked about the short week. We talked about 00:23:29.539 --> 00:23:31.680 the ridiculous injuries. We talked about going 00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:34.480 on the road to Denver to play the number one 00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:36.559 seed. They had been sitting on their couches, 00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:39.000 getting well, getting rest, getting ready to 00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:41.099 play in the Mile High City. So they're sitting 00:23:41.099 --> 00:23:43.279 there chilling for their bye week. The list went 00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:46.140 on and on and on. But despite all that, Despite 00:23:46.140 --> 00:23:50.480 all those boxes and all those things, all the 00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:52.299 odds being stacked against the Bills, despite 00:23:52.299 --> 00:23:55.099 all that, they literally outplayed the Broncos 00:23:55.099 --> 00:23:57.680 and should have won this game. Had it not been 00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:00.339 for the turnovers, I think the Bills would have 00:24:00.339 --> 00:24:03.460 ran away with this game. After the opening Broncos 00:24:03.460 --> 00:24:06.000 seven and a half minute drive where they were 00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:08.380 ultimately held to three, which was a great stand 00:24:08.380 --> 00:24:10.980 by the defense. Bend, don't break. That is clear. 00:24:10.980 --> 00:24:13.500 Clear bend, don't break philosophy on the first 00:24:13.500 --> 00:24:15.869 drive, right? The Bills march. right down the 00:24:15.869 --> 00:24:18.329 field in completely dominant fashion to score 00:24:18.329 --> 00:24:21.490 on a beautiful play call. And I'll give Joe credit 00:24:21.490 --> 00:24:24.170 on this one. This is a beautiful play call. And 00:24:24.170 --> 00:24:27.579 a pass to McCole Hardman. of all people, straight 00:24:27.579 --> 00:24:30.180 off the practice squad, to take the lead 7 -3. 00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:32.259 What happens next? The Bills defense holds the 00:24:32.259 --> 00:24:34.960 Broncos to a 3 -and -out and forces them to punt. 00:24:35.079 --> 00:24:37.700 We get the ball right back. We start on our own 00:24:37.700 --> 00:24:40.680 38. We get a 5 -yard run for Cook, followed by 00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:43.339 a 26 -yard run for Josh Allen. We have the ball 00:24:43.339 --> 00:24:45.740 now. We essentially just flipped the field, and 00:24:45.740 --> 00:24:48.279 we're on the Broncos 31. We have them on their 00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:51.039 heels. Everything is great. The next play, James 00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:53.589 Cook fumbles. In my opinion, had he not fumbled, 00:24:53.710 --> 00:24:55.890 we would have easily scored a tutty there and 00:24:55.890 --> 00:24:58.349 gone up 14 -3. And I'm just thinking right there 00:24:58.349 --> 00:25:01.390 as we're driving, as we're on the Broncos 31, 00:25:01.470 --> 00:25:03.890 I'm thinking if we score here and go up 14 -3, 00:25:03.930 --> 00:25:06.769 this game is over. This game is over. Instead, 00:25:06.930 --> 00:25:08.609 what happens? The Broncos flip the field. They 00:25:08.609 --> 00:25:11.369 get a tutty to a backup tight end crumb of all 00:25:11.369 --> 00:25:13.890 people. And now instead of it being 14 -3, we're 00:25:13.890 --> 00:25:16.279 losing 10 -7. That's a huge swing right there. 00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:18.180 So we get the ball back. We get a field goal. 00:25:18.299 --> 00:25:20.619 We tie the game 10 -10. We then allow them to 00:25:20.619 --> 00:25:23.660 go on a 13 -play touchdown drive that all but 00:25:23.660 --> 00:25:26.359 exhausts the second quarter, except nope, it's 00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:29.140 not over, folks. There's 16 seconds left. We 00:25:29.140 --> 00:25:30.920 have the ball on our own 30, and this is where 00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:33.220 I will totally disagree with most of you, Mafia, 00:25:33.220 --> 00:25:35.339 because I know most of you were calling for the 00:25:35.339 --> 00:25:37.740 head of Sean McDermott right there before the 00:25:37.740 --> 00:25:40.420 halftime. for being too aggressive, for not taking 00:25:40.420 --> 00:25:42.640 a knee. I'm sorry. I totally disagree with you. 00:25:42.700 --> 00:25:44.240 You have the best player on the planet, Josh 00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:47.039 Allen, and I was all in favor of taking a single 00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:49.799 shot down the field. You hit a 40 -yard pass, 00:25:49.859 --> 00:25:51.940 and now you are suddenly in field goal range. 00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:54.440 At least take a shot. I am all for trying to 00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:56.200 get a field goal there with 16 seconds left. 00:25:56.660 --> 00:25:58.599 Don't come at me with 16 seconds is not enough 00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:00.539 time. Did you see the Chiefs game? I don't want 00:26:00.539 --> 00:26:02.859 to hear about it. Take a chance. Go for a completion. 00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:06.480 Try to draw a pass interference, which I don't 00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:08.059 even want to talk about pass interference. But 00:26:08.059 --> 00:26:10.980 I have zero issue with the aggressiveness that 00:26:10.980 --> 00:26:13.119 Sean McDermott had shown right before the half. 00:26:13.220 --> 00:26:15.579 What I have an issue with is with Josh being 00:26:15.579 --> 00:26:18.559 so absolutely reckless with the ball and running 00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:21.039 with it completely out in the open, just ready 00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:22.920 for it to be stripped away. That's what I have 00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:25.099 a problem with. Your superstar quarterback under 00:26:25.099 --> 00:26:27.460 no circumstances can ever be so careless with 00:26:27.460 --> 00:26:30.200 the ball in that situation or ever. So the Broncos 00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:32.039 recover the fumble and on the very next play, 00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:34.339 kick a freebie field goal to steal, literally 00:26:34.339 --> 00:26:37.079 steal three points from the Bills and extend 00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:40.380 the lead at halftime by 10 points. It was 20 00:26:40.380 --> 00:26:44.019 to 10 at halftime. That is a 14 -point swing 00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:46.359 if you look at it. A 14 -point swing on the first 00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:48.960 turnover and another three free points on the 00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:51.779 second turnover. Now, I'm thinking, okay, halftime, 00:26:51.779 --> 00:26:53.779 all the nerves are going to be calmed. Everything's 00:26:53.779 --> 00:26:56.660 going to be reset. Nope. We start with the ball 00:26:56.660 --> 00:26:58.799 after the half. We're on our own 24 -yard line. 00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:00.960 And what happens? Josh fumbles the ball again. 00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:03.039 What are we, two plays into the second half and 00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:05.160 he fumbles again? Now, can you blame the old 00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:07.539 line? Well, whatever. You can point the blame 00:27:07.539 --> 00:27:09.140 wherever you want. He still fumbled the ball. 00:27:09.339 --> 00:27:11.880 Despite terrible field position, despite the 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:13.460 Bills giving up terrible field position, and 00:27:13.460 --> 00:27:15.119 now the Broncos are already in scoring range, 00:27:15.259 --> 00:27:17.319 they managed to hold the Broncos to a field goal. 00:27:17.420 --> 00:27:20.519 But now, now it's 23 -10. So a 20 -point swing 00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:22.880 off of three turnovers? The game progresses. 00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:24.839 Fast forward to just around the six -minute mark 00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:27.019 in the third quarter. We're down 23 -17 after 00:27:27.019 --> 00:27:29.220 a great Keon Coleman -Tutty drive, which I love 00:27:29.220 --> 00:27:31.180 the effort there. I love the dive. That was sick. 00:27:31.559 --> 00:27:34.460 We finally managed to intercept Bo Nix on an 00:27:34.460 --> 00:27:36.720 awesome play by Deion Walker. And what do we 00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:39.740 do later? Two plays later, mind you, Josh gives 00:27:39.740 --> 00:27:41.720 them the ball right back on a terrible throw 00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:44.880 that's picked off. Two plays later, you finally 00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:47.660 get Bo Nix to make a mistake. And he had been 00:27:47.660 --> 00:27:49.579 chucking the ball all over the place. And not 00:27:49.579 --> 00:27:51.980 necessarily to players. Like, stop me with this 00:27:51.980 --> 00:27:54.460 Bo Nix is awesome nonsense. What, he was barely 00:27:54.460 --> 00:27:57.920 50 % completion percentage on the day? So, get 00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:00.240 out of here. Yeah, he's a nice player. And I 00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:02.240 like the aggression he plays with. I like the 00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:04.740 grit. I like the heart. But don't ever try to 00:28:04.740 --> 00:28:07.769 compare. and put Bo Nix as like a top five quarterback 00:28:07.769 --> 00:28:09.690 in this league. You'll never convince me that 00:28:09.690 --> 00:28:11.410 that's the case. But anyway, we finally managed 00:28:11.410 --> 00:28:13.150 to pick this off in an awesome play by Deion 00:28:13.150 --> 00:28:14.869 Walker. And two plays later, Josh gives them 00:28:14.869 --> 00:28:16.549 the ball right back. You can't have that. Tell 00:28:16.549 --> 00:28:18.549 me in what world a team should win on the road 00:28:18.549 --> 00:28:20.329 in the divisional round of the playoffs after 00:28:20.329 --> 00:28:22.390 giving up four turnovers. So I'm sorry. I have 00:28:22.390 --> 00:28:24.690 a hard time getting all worked up about the absolute 00:28:24.690 --> 00:28:27.470 nonsense that went down in overtime. But hey, 00:28:27.589 --> 00:28:29.210 let's talk about it. Let's get into it. Despite 00:28:29.210 --> 00:28:31.609 four turnovers and regulation, we somehow still 00:28:31.609 --> 00:28:33.430 managed to stay in the game because shout out 00:28:33.430 --> 00:28:36.319 to Matt Prater. 42 -year -old Matt Prater brooms 00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:38.299 a 50 -yarder at the end of regulation to tie 00:28:38.299 --> 00:28:40.640 the game. I mean, what a beast. So tip of the 00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:42.700 cap to you. Hats off to you, my friend. You are 00:28:42.700 --> 00:28:45.000 off the hook for this game and for most of the 00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:46.759 season. I know you got hurt. I know you missed 00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:48.839 some time, but you were pretty much great. Who 00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:50.339 had that on their bingo card? We're going to 00:28:50.339 --> 00:28:52.480 lose T -Bass, and we're going to sign Matt Prater 00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:55.180 to the team, and he's going to be kicking 50 00:28:55.180 --> 00:29:00.319 -yarders in the playoffs to take us to OT. But 00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:02.359 it was right down the freaking middle. I mean, 00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:04.470 there was no doubt. That was awesome. So well 00:29:04.470 --> 00:29:07.289 done to you, sir. But then overtime. We actually 00:29:07.289 --> 00:29:09.789 win the toss. So congratulations. We win the 00:29:09.789 --> 00:29:13.269 toss. We defer. We kick the ball off. We hold 00:29:13.269 --> 00:29:16.509 the Broncos to a punt. And then we get the ball 00:29:16.509 --> 00:29:19.750 at our own eight -yard line. And so what? You 00:29:19.750 --> 00:29:22.829 want to talk about officiating? Let's put it 00:29:22.829 --> 00:29:25.630 all on the table. There was a blatant hold in 00:29:25.630 --> 00:29:28.609 the end zone. I mean a blatant hold. I am shocked 00:29:28.609 --> 00:29:31.500 they did not throw the yellow. on this one and 00:29:31.500 --> 00:29:33.660 it happened in the end zone can you imagine mafia 00:29:33.660 --> 00:29:36.099 if that hold had been called in the end zone 00:29:36.099 --> 00:29:38.660 the game would have been over we lose on a safety 00:29:38.660 --> 00:29:40.960 of all things can you imagine adding that to 00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:43.680 the list of ridiculous ways the bills lose not 00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:46.000 only regular season games but playoff games we 00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:47.940 lose on a safety because we held in the end zone 00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:50.380 So you could complain all you want about the 00:29:50.380 --> 00:29:51.960 refs, but how about we start right there? But 00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:54.420 let's continue. Then the pass to Cooks. Now, 00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:56.759 I watch a lot of football. If I was not a fan 00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:59.619 of the Bills and if I was not a fan of the Broncos, 00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:02.099 I think I would have had to say that he caught 00:30:02.099 --> 00:30:04.339 the ball because I have zero understanding of 00:30:04.339 --> 00:30:06.799 how that play is actually an interception. It's 00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:09.640 mind -boggling to me. It makes no sense. No sense. 00:30:09.859 --> 00:30:11.960 And I think I said this after the Jags game. 00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:13.940 There is zero accountability on the part of the 00:30:13.940 --> 00:30:16.740 refs. They are never held accountable for anything. 00:30:18.939 --> 00:30:22.480 It was absolutely ridiculous. I'm not sure if 00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:24.240 that play happens 100 more times if it's ever 00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:26.440 called an interception again. In fact, if you 00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:29.920 watch the Bears -Rams game from Sunday night, 00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:32.599 well, it literally just happened again. And guess 00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:35.500 what? It was called a catch and not an interception. 00:30:35.579 --> 00:30:37.579 So I feel like the rules change every time I 00:30:37.579 --> 00:30:39.319 turn the television on and watch a football game. 00:30:39.460 --> 00:30:41.500 And then from that point, after that ridiculous 00:30:41.500 --> 00:30:43.799 quote -unquote interception, things just get 00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:45.880 worse with the PI calls. The Taron Johnson call 00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:48.539 was terrible. Terrible. And yeah. I will tell 00:30:48.539 --> 00:30:51.299 you, that is a terrible call. However, we're 00:30:51.299 --> 00:30:53.660 not out of the woods, Mafia, because the Joey 00:30:53.660 --> 00:30:56.660 Bosa late hit. Joey Bosa finally gets to Bo Nix 00:30:56.660 --> 00:30:59.599 one time during the game. It's in overtime, and 00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:02.299 it's three seconds too late, and he levels him. 00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:05.079 after the ball is out of his hands by clearly 00:31:05.079 --> 00:31:07.460 multiple seconds. He levels him. So take your 00:31:07.460 --> 00:31:11.099 pick. Yeah, the pass interference flag on Terran 00:31:11.099 --> 00:31:13.759 Johnson was 17 yards. You take that off the field, 00:31:13.819 --> 00:31:16.819 no problem. You're still getting 15 for unsportsmanlike 00:31:16.819 --> 00:31:19.400 for a roughing the passer call. So either way, 00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:21.240 that's a Bill's penalty. And then the next play, 00:31:21.299 --> 00:31:23.500 the PI on Trey White for 30 yards, that's ball 00:31:23.500 --> 00:31:26.400 game. Was it PI? Yeah, yeah, it probably was. 00:31:26.700 --> 00:31:29.289 Now, if I'm... If I'm going to get mad about 00:31:29.289 --> 00:31:31.470 it, it's because they really didn't throw too 00:31:31.470 --> 00:31:34.109 many flags during the regulation portion of this, 00:31:34.150 --> 00:31:36.309 during the main game. And they just started throwing 00:31:36.309 --> 00:31:38.710 yellows all over the field in overtime. So yeah, 00:31:38.789 --> 00:31:42.369 I'm mad. Am I mad they didn't ever call PI on 00:31:42.369 --> 00:31:44.650 the Broncos? Of course. But like I said, I can't. 00:31:44.809 --> 00:31:47.210 choose to live in that space. I can't live over 00:31:47.210 --> 00:31:49.150 the next seven to eight months blaming the refs 00:31:49.150 --> 00:31:51.410 because we lost this game. I can't. It never 00:31:51.410 --> 00:31:53.549 should have gotten to overtime. It never should 00:31:53.549 --> 00:31:55.890 have been this close. Statistically, we outplayed 00:31:55.890 --> 00:31:57.470 them. We had the ball for almost 41 minutes. 00:31:57.569 --> 00:31:59.549 I said what they needed to do going into this 00:31:59.549 --> 00:32:01.450 game was replicate the Steelers game. And that's 00:32:01.450 --> 00:32:04.009 exactly what we did, except the difference between 00:32:04.009 --> 00:32:06.109 this game and the Steelers game. The play, the 00:32:06.109 --> 00:32:08.390 possession, the time of possession was nearly 00:32:08.390 --> 00:32:10.650 identical. The running rushing yards was nearly 00:32:10.650 --> 00:32:14.240 identical. exactly what i said they needed to 00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:16.000 do they did except they turned the ball over 00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:18.140 five times it never should have been put in the 00:32:18.140 --> 00:32:20.460 ref's hands to decide the game in the first place 00:32:20.460 --> 00:32:22.519 so maybe you all want to live there and blame 00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:24.319 the refs and everything's rigged and everything's 00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:27.240 this and everything's that that's fine look you 00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:30.839 you clearly have a valid opinion i'm not saying 00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:34.190 you're wrong Me, personally, I can't live in 00:32:34.190 --> 00:32:36.630 that space where I'm constantly blaming an outside 00:32:36.630 --> 00:32:38.329 entity. I'm never going to change your mind. 00:32:38.430 --> 00:32:39.730 You're probably never going to change my mind. 00:32:39.829 --> 00:32:42.410 But clearly, in my opinion, if I'm objectively 00:32:42.410 --> 00:32:44.809 looking at this Broncos game, we outplayed them 00:32:44.809 --> 00:32:48.470 on the road in Denver with a completely depleted 00:32:48.470 --> 00:32:50.869 roster, and we gave the game to them because 00:32:50.869 --> 00:32:53.450 of four turnovers. Simple as that. So I ask myself, 00:32:53.569 --> 00:32:56.390 what am I mad at? What am I upset about after 00:32:56.390 --> 00:32:58.609 that game's over? I take it all the way back 00:32:58.609 --> 00:33:01.170 to the offseason and Bean's reluctance to improve. 00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:03.680 the wide receiver room yeah it's funny it's funny 00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:05.740 i just started the podcast talking about this 00:33:05.740 --> 00:33:08.220 with the firing of mcdermott and the keeping 00:33:08.220 --> 00:33:10.160 of brandon bean this is what i was pissed off 00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:12.359 about after the game on saturday and this is 00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:14.259 what i'm mad about now fast forward to the trade 00:33:14.259 --> 00:33:16.359 deadline and again his reluctance to move forward 00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:18.519 with a deal for waddle or any other impact wide 00:33:18.519 --> 00:33:21.359 receiver because of what he said what he deemed 00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:24.500 the price to be too high That's where my frustration 00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:27.000 lies. And that's what I've said for months. And 00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:28.960 the failure by being to react and approve the 00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:30.700 team at the deadline, the Bills gave themselves 00:33:30.700 --> 00:33:33.759 zero margin for error. Check the tape. Go back. 00:33:33.859 --> 00:33:35.619 This is what I've said. You have now put yourself 00:33:35.619 --> 00:33:39.500 in a position where you have no room for error. 00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:41.839 Zero margin for error. And the improvements, 00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:44.140 the so -called quote -unquote improvements, came 00:33:44.140 --> 00:33:46.000 in the form of me, Cole Hardman, and Brandon 00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:47.559 Cooks. And we want to talk about the Brandon 00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:49.359 Cooks play? Great. At the end of the day, Brandon 00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:51.059 Cooks, and I think I said this prior to going 00:33:51.059 --> 00:33:53.329 into either the Jags game or the... Denver game 00:33:53.329 --> 00:33:55.849 can you make a catch that doesn't look like it's 00:33:55.849 --> 00:33:58.089 the hardest thing on the planet you are a wide 00:33:58.089 --> 00:34:00.869 receiver catch the freaking ball it just comes 00:34:00.869 --> 00:34:03.029 down to that you have to catch the ball everything's 00:34:03.029 --> 00:34:05.069 a bobble everything's a roll everything's a dive 00:34:05.069 --> 00:34:08.070 just catch the ball every play involving Brandon 00:34:08.070 --> 00:34:10.289 Cook shouldn't have to go to video review just 00:34:10.289 --> 00:34:12.480 catch the ball But these two players have had 00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:14.199 less than six weeks on the team. And now they're 00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:17.179 the second and third option behind Shakir. Are 00:34:17.179 --> 00:34:18.980 you kidding me? And we're in the divisional round 00:34:18.980 --> 00:34:20.980 of the playoffs. So we have Khalil Shakir, Mecole 00:34:20.980 --> 00:34:22.840 Hardman, and Brandon Cooks as your top three 00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:24.699 wide receivers. In what world should Josh Allen 00:34:24.699 --> 00:34:27.159 ever be allowed to operate with those weapons? 00:34:27.460 --> 00:34:30.039 You lose Shavers. You lose Gabe Davis. They both 00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:32.119 tear their ACLs. And we are forced to elevate 00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:34.219 Hardman. And then counting on him and counting 00:34:34.219 --> 00:34:35.840 on Brandon Cooks to elevate the wide receiver 00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:38.739 room. That's impossible. It's unfair. It's a 00:34:38.739 --> 00:34:41.550 ridiculous request. And it points. directly back 00:34:41.550 --> 00:34:45.010 to Brandon Bean. So yeah, I got you in my sights. 00:34:45.110 --> 00:34:48.550 Well deserved there, sir. Well deserved. Despite 00:34:48.550 --> 00:34:50.369 all that, we still had a chance to win and we 00:34:50.369 --> 00:34:52.789 gave the game away. So yes, we talk about the 00:34:52.789 --> 00:34:55.190 cycle and breaking the cycle. Well, it's not 00:34:55.190 --> 00:34:57.130 broken this year because heartache has entered 00:34:57.130 --> 00:35:00.130 the room yet again. I will be 47 years old when 00:35:00.130 --> 00:35:03.130 the Bills take the field again. So 40 years really 00:35:03.130 --> 00:35:05.489 of rooting for this team. It's hard to say what 00:35:05.489 --> 00:35:07.989 year, what age I was. I don't freaking remember. 00:35:08.130 --> 00:35:09.750 Last week, you want me to remember when I'm seven. 00:35:09.889 --> 00:35:11.769 I just don't know what to tell you. So we're 00:35:11.769 --> 00:35:13.789 going to go with nearly 40 years of rooting for 00:35:13.789 --> 00:35:16.409 this team, following this team. And I know there's 00:35:16.409 --> 00:35:18.230 mafia members out there with way more invested 00:35:18.230 --> 00:35:20.429 than me. And I truly feel for each and every 00:35:20.429 --> 00:35:22.409 one of you. Because losing in this way, losing 00:35:22.409 --> 00:35:25.170 in this fashion freaking sucks. But people acted 00:35:25.170 --> 00:35:28.130 like this was our best shot. Like national pundits. 00:35:29.460 --> 00:35:31.780 professionals who just talk for a living on sports 00:35:31.780 --> 00:35:33.820 talk and all this. They said this was our best 00:35:33.820 --> 00:35:35.840 shot, but they failed to realize that this was 00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:37.380 probably the worst team that we've put on the 00:35:37.380 --> 00:35:39.079 field in the last four to five seasons. Look 00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:40.840 at it objectively. Tell me this was a better 00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:43.000 roster than four years ago, than three years 00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:44.940 ago. Tell me. Tell me this is a better roster. 00:35:45.469 --> 00:35:49.230 We've talked about this with the Sean McDermott 00:35:49.230 --> 00:35:51.550 firing. I thought he did his best coaching job 00:35:51.550 --> 00:35:53.389 with the worst roster he's had. So the next few 00:35:53.389 --> 00:35:55.010 days, the next few weeks, the next few months, 00:35:55.110 --> 00:35:57.230 it's going to be extremely telling with where 00:35:57.230 --> 00:36:01.429 this organization goes. Obviously, you're bringing 00:36:01.429 --> 00:36:03.969 in a new head coach, possibly two new coordinators, 00:36:04.110 --> 00:36:06.710 but it's going to also be very telling with how 00:36:06.710 --> 00:36:09.369 they view the next and possibly the last few 00:36:09.369 --> 00:36:11.429 years of Allen's prime because I got news for 00:36:11.429 --> 00:36:13.570 you folks. He's not going to be this good for 00:36:13.570 --> 00:36:16.219 that much longer. He's turning 30. If we are 00:36:16.219 --> 00:36:18.760 lucky, we will have four to five more great years. 00:36:18.900 --> 00:36:21.699 Four to five more great years. And that time 00:36:21.699 --> 00:36:24.719 is going to absolutely fly by. So Terry Pagula 00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:27.420 has acted like the time to move is now. But will 00:36:27.420 --> 00:36:30.960 his next steps after this firing actually reflect 00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:34.480 that attitude of it's time to go? Like it is 00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:37.079 time to go. We need to win now. I don't know. 00:36:37.420 --> 00:36:39.860 Because that's yet to be determined. So a lot 00:36:39.860 --> 00:36:42.099 is riding on the next few days, weeks, months. 00:36:42.650 --> 00:36:45.789 But his next moves are also most likely to determine 00:36:45.789 --> 00:36:48.250 his legacy as an owner of the Buffalo Bills. 00:36:48.369 --> 00:36:50.909 And he clearly has planted his flag with the 00:36:50.909 --> 00:36:54.289 retaining and promoting of Brandon Bean. So I 00:36:54.289 --> 00:36:56.909 hope to God you're right, Pagula. I just, I hope 00:36:56.909 --> 00:36:58.869 you're right. Is it the right move? I really 00:36:58.869 --> 00:37:02.309 hope it is, but I sincerely have my doubts. I 00:37:02.309 --> 00:37:05.289 actually think this is a terrible mistake. Like, 00:37:05.349 --> 00:37:07.989 I think it's a mistake. I'm just gonna say it. 00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:10.079 And I think it's one that could potentially set 00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:12.639 this franchise back many, many years. If he doesn't 00:37:12.639 --> 00:37:15.699 nail this head coaching position, I think this 00:37:15.699 --> 00:37:17.920 could set the franchise back. So you better get 00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:20.659 it right. And I hope that you are right. But 00:37:20.659 --> 00:37:23.500 what do I know? What do I know? I am just a fan 00:37:23.500 --> 00:37:29.530 with a podcast. So there you go. I'm tired. But 00:37:29.530 --> 00:37:31.010 I think that's going to wrap it up. I think I've 00:37:31.010 --> 00:37:33.750 ranted for a long enough time. So I'll just end 00:37:33.750 --> 00:37:36.050 with this. If you've enjoyed this episode or 00:37:36.050 --> 00:37:38.710 any other episode of the 3Ts podcast, do me a 00:37:38.710 --> 00:37:40.809 favor. Share it with someone you know. If you 00:37:40.809 --> 00:37:44.730 are in misery like I am after losing to the Broncos 00:37:44.730 --> 00:37:47.920 and after the chaos of this morning. Just pass 00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:50.539 it on to someone who you might think would get 00:37:50.539 --> 00:37:53.400 a kick out of it. Pass it on to a fellow Mafia 00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:55.639 member. Help me out. I want to grow this thing 00:37:55.639 --> 00:37:58.460 one episode at a time. So hit that follow, hit 00:37:58.460 --> 00:38:00.619 that like, leave me a quick review wherever you 00:38:00.619 --> 00:38:02.780 get your podcast. It would be awesome. Help me 00:38:02.780 --> 00:38:05.780 build this thing together. And as always, I appreciate 00:38:05.780 --> 00:38:11.960 you all very, very much. So until next time. 00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:14.400 Whether it's ripping packs, breaking tables, 00:38:14.500 --> 00:38:17.139 or dropping elbows, keep doing what you love. 00:38:17.260 --> 00:38:19.219 And as always, Go Bills!
