- 1:25Speaker 4: taken to any notes the last few weeks, have just
- 1:27Speaker 4: kind of been sticking to the show moniker. Bill's thoughts
- 1:30Speaker 4: set out loud and just kind of letting everything flow
- 1:32Speaker 4: because it's just been so natural and so easy, and
- 1:35Speaker 4: this week was more of the same. But there was
- 1:37Speaker 4: a one note that I had to put down after
- 1:40Speaker 4: watching the Bills defeat the Kansas City Chiefs their rivals
- 1:44Speaker 4: thirty to twenty one on Sunday afternoon into the evening.

- 2:26Speaker 4: You know, it's funny because you're absolutely right. It is
- 2:29Speaker 4: a little bit something special. That's literally what what kind
- 2:32Speaker 4: of led me into naming the episode of the way
- 2:34Speaker 4: that I did, Joining us tonight another special guest.
- 2:37Speaker 1: I mean, you're starting to make a habit.
- 2:39Speaker 4: One or two times as you know, could be a coincidence,
- 2:41Speaker 4: but you're starting to make the habit.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Joining us tonight again my buddy Scott Fry. Scott right.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Check them out at Scott Fry f R E y
- 2:50Speaker 1: on Instagram and Twitter. That's Scott M. Fry. How at
- 2:54Speaker 1: the crew man, You're starting to make this like.
- 2:56Speaker 3: This, Yeah, a pleasant addiction man talking bills with a
- 3:00Speaker 3: couple of cool cats.
- 3:01Speaker 2: So be safe on the road. DT. Good to see
- 3:04Speaker 2: you guys. What a day we.
- 3:06Speaker 3: Had or afternoon and evening we had last Sunday. Huh,
- 3:09Speaker 3: holy smokes, that was awesome.
- 3:12Speaker 4: It was more than just awesome. But it's funny because
- 3:15Speaker 4: I had, you know, I would been thinking about my
- 3:17Speaker 4: past and after that game and how it went. And
- 3:20Speaker 4: we already obviously had the episode last week where I
- 3:22Speaker 4: told everybody to just you know, quit the coping and
- 3:24Speaker 4: quit the the you know, all the mechanisms that you're
- 3:27Speaker 4: you know, coming up with defense mechanisms to make yourself
- 3:29Speaker 4: feel better. Don't be scared. Let's embrace this opportunity. Let's
- 3:32Speaker 4: embrace this game and a DT. It's funny because I
- 3:35Speaker 4: was five six seven and eight for the Super Bowl run.
- 3:37Speaker 4: I know Scott goes back a little bit further than
- 3:39Speaker 4: than we do, and I know I'm older than you, DT,
- 3:41Speaker 4: but man, like, it's funny because that you know, those teams,
- 3:45Speaker 4: like you see them right behind me.
- 3:46Speaker 1: They they shaped my Bills fandom. They shaped them.
- 3:49Speaker 4: You know, it made me the Ribbit Bills fan that
- 3:51Speaker 4: I am today. And it's funny because you know, I
- 3:54Speaker 4: was still five six seven and eight, you know, so
- 3:55Speaker 4: it was only so much that.
- 3:56Speaker 1: I could do. It was only so much I could consume. DT.
- 4:00Speaker 4: I mean when I watch this dude seventeen and I
- 4:03Speaker 4: watch them, you know, go to work, it's I feel like,
- 4:06Speaker 4: I feel like it's a privilege.
- 4:07Speaker 1: I feel like it's an honor.
- 4:08Speaker 4: I feel like sometimes I'm not worthy of the actual
- 4:12Speaker 4: sports entertainment factor that he's bringing. And from that standpoint,
- 4:16Speaker 4: and I remember getting those same chills, you know, obviously
- 4:19Speaker 4: as a child, it's different, but watching Thrmer Thomas jet
- 4:21Speaker 4: down the field, watching Andre Reid catch those passes from
- 4:24Speaker 4: Jim Kelly, watching Bruce Smith, you know, sack those quarterbacks
- 4:27Speaker 4: and wrap them up and throw them down and it's
- 4:30Speaker 4: just different experiencing it as an adult. And I mean
- 4:33Speaker 4: that's one of the main reasons why I just want
- 4:35Speaker 4: the Bills to get back to the Super Bowl, because
- 4:36Speaker 4: I can't wait to wake up on Super Bowl Sunday
- 4:39Speaker 4: as an adult and get a chance to partake in
- 4:41Speaker 4: everything and the two weeks leading up to it and
- 4:43Speaker 4: all the media coverage, all the type of stuff. I
- 4:45Speaker 4: was just a kid for DT. You always talk about
- 4:48Speaker 4: this dude being addicting. I mean, I'm running out of
- 4:52Speaker 4: superlatives for seventeen.
- 4:54Speaker 5: Man.
- 4:54Speaker 4: I really think that we are witnessing greatness. I think
- 4:56Speaker 4: that we are going to look back on this in
- 4:59Speaker 4: twenty years and tell our kids that, you know, those
- 5:02Speaker 4: that don't know, like, man, you witnessed one of the
- 5:04Speaker 4: greatest era of eras of Buffalo football. Man with seventeen
- 5:07Speaker 4: behind the helm is he is truly special.
- 5:09Speaker 1: DT.
- 5:11Speaker 6: This ain't no Philip Rivers, this ain't no Drew Brees,
- 5:14Speaker 6: This ain't no like for ten years at a time
- 5:18Speaker 6: type of guy. This is a generational quarterback. We will never
- 5:21Speaker 6: see a better quarterback in a Bill's uniform. We're the
- 5:24Speaker 6: luckiest m efforts. If we do see somebody better than
- 5:27Speaker 6: one seven, and we just got to take it.
- 5:29Speaker 5: In and jerishit.
- 5:30Speaker 6: I mean, obviously, of the playoff losses that that are
- 5:34Speaker 6: tough to swallow and some good games involved in that
- 5:38Speaker 6: with thirteen seconds and everything in between, these regular season wins,
- 5:42Speaker 6: you know, have been good and exciting, but this is
- 5:44Speaker 6: by far the best regular season win of the Josh
- 5:48Speaker 6: Allen era. I think, I mean, this is overall the
- 5:52Speaker 6: lead up, the way it all shook out, This is
- 5:55Speaker 6: the best regular season winner the Josh Allen era.
- 5:58Speaker 5: We talked about last week.
- 5:59Speaker 6: This is kind of his rookie year of him being
- 6:01Speaker 6: in the epicenter of this team.
- 6:03Speaker 1: It'd be right fully his.
- 6:05Speaker 6: Team, and you know, to have him bask in that
- 6:09Speaker 6: and literally say, I know it's my team.
- 6:11Speaker 5: I know I have to step up. I know I
- 6:12Speaker 5: have to make plays.
- 6:13Speaker 6: He's always done that, but now it literally hits him
- 6:16Speaker 6: and to watch that and literally literally him say Sunday night,
- 6:21Speaker 6: get on my back, I got us and go get
- 6:24Speaker 6: the dub. Like how much more badass is that? You
- 6:26Speaker 6: said it seventeenth addicting?
- 6:28Speaker 5: Fuck?
- 6:28Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it.
- 6:30Speaker 4: You know, Scott, It's funny because you know when you
- 6:33Speaker 4: when you watched the game last week and we'll go
- 6:36Speaker 4: over it. But it was it just seemed like all
- 6:39Speaker 4: the crucial moments he was big, and he showed up
- 6:42Speaker 4: when he needed to. I mean, I watched back highlights
- 6:45Speaker 4: again today while its working, and I'm just like, I mean,
- 6:48Speaker 4: this dude is amazing. I mean, the first pass to
- 6:50Speaker 4: Cooper on the sideline, he drops it in a bucket,
- 6:53Speaker 4: and I mean, I don't know if the risk was
- 6:54Speaker 4: hurting or not, but it doesn't even better because you
- 6:56Speaker 4: have no choice but to catch it when when your
- 6:58Speaker 4: quarterback puts the ball back perfect. And then on the
- 7:01Speaker 4: second one to Cooper in the first half, Scott he
- 7:04Speaker 4: gets drilled, all six ' five, all two hundred and
- 7:07Speaker 4: forty something pounds of him. He doesn't move, he doesn't flinch,
- 7:10Speaker 4: he doesn't blink, he doesn't I mean, he just stands
- 7:12Speaker 4: right there in the pocket and delivers another perfect ball
- 7:15Speaker 4: on the sideline, on the opposite sideline to Cooper. I mean,
- 7:18Speaker 4: watching him play Scott, it just I'm being honest, man.
- 7:21Speaker 4: That's why I named the episode of the way that
- 7:23Speaker 4: I did. I don't know what Miami Dolphins fans felt like,
- 7:26Speaker 4: you know what I mean, You know, I was a
- 7:27Speaker 4: Bills fan, so they were our rivals. I know, Jim
- 7:29Speaker 4: Kelly was great, and my dad used to talk shit
- 7:31Speaker 4: about him and say that he threw twenty picks, but
- 7:33Speaker 4: he was great.
- 7:33Speaker 1: He's a Hall of Famer, this dude, Josh Man.
- 7:36Speaker 4: I mean, I just feel like I'm watching greatness when
- 7:39Speaker 4: I watch him get down.
- 7:40Speaker 1: It's it's it's something that's almost indescribable.
- 7:42Speaker 3: Man, It's and it's hard sometimes to quantify because if
- 7:45Speaker 3: you look at Josh's stats this year, he's playing great
- 7:48Speaker 3: all that, but they're not over the top crazy correct.
- 7:51Speaker 3: But this year seems to be different because it feels
- 7:54Speaker 3: like in years past he always had to do this
- 7:57Speaker 3: herculean thing and he did it. But there's a lot
- 7:59Speaker 3: of time people, you know, and this year he's playing
- 8:02Speaker 3: inside the game plan, inside himself.
- 8:04Speaker 2: And then we've got.
- 8:05Speaker 3: That other gear, you know, like we needed two yards
- 8:08Speaker 3: on that fourth down play to get first down, keep
- 8:10Speaker 3: the drive going, keep chewing the clock. Next thing I know,
- 8:12Speaker 3: I'm screaming Joshua Patrick Allen at the top of my
- 8:15Speaker 3: lungs because he's bouncing off guys and stiff arm and
- 8:19Speaker 3: a linebacker and running through a safety and we're in
- 8:21Speaker 3: the end zone. It's like to win a game of
- 8:24Speaker 3: that magnitude on purpose, like that was nailing the coffin. Okay, yeah,
- 8:32Speaker 3: And that's what he brings. And that doesn't show up
- 8:34Speaker 3: in the stat line, that doesn't show up in the
- 8:35Speaker 3: box score, but it feels to me like this team
- 8:38Speaker 3: is finally his. The whole team takes on this Josh
- 8:42Speaker 3: Allen mentality of passion, heart, toughness, and they just don't
- 8:47Speaker 3: you know, every win hasn't been beautiful and lopsided, but
- 8:52Speaker 3: they're finding ways and that's what champs do. And I'm
- 8:54Speaker 3: getting a little excited. You know, I didn't have us
- 8:56Speaker 3: at nine and two this year, nobody, but he's he's
- 9:01Speaker 3: definitely like that Casey game is a little bit of
- 9:03Speaker 3: microcosm that fourth quarter of the season where he's, you know,
- 9:06Speaker 3: really owns the team. And there's very few quarterbacks you've
- 9:10Speaker 3: seen in the history of league that can do things
- 9:12Speaker 3: like that. I'm thinking Joe Montana, John Elway, of course,
- 9:15Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes, and Josh is right up in there.
- 9:17Speaker 2: And the only thing he doesn't.
- 9:18Speaker 3: Have is a couple of awards and a big Lombardi Trophy,
- 9:21Speaker 3: and that's that's yet to come. So watching him is
- 9:25Speaker 3: just such fun. And I just he's like this big
- 9:29Speaker 3: fifteen year old kid who I've just pictured him after
- 9:31Speaker 3: the game, goes home, pops open a beer and plays
- 9:34Speaker 3: you know, Call of Duty until he you know, three
- 9:36Speaker 3: in the morning, just having a good time. Yeah, golf
- 9:40Speaker 3: simulate right, It's just just this great person. No no
- 9:44Speaker 3: stuff in the news, no shenanigans, very kind and giving
- 9:48Speaker 3: and watching him play is like it just blows my mind.
- 9:51Speaker 3: I feel so like like DT said, man, we're just blessed,
- 9:54Speaker 3: lucky sons of bitches right now. Watching this guy leader
- 9:57Speaker 3: team really cool.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Yeah, it is really cool.
- 10:00Speaker 4: And you know, one of the really cool things about
- 10:02Speaker 4: Sunday DT was that and I heard, you know on
- 10:04Speaker 4: JVGR somebody had mentioned this week and they were absolutely
- 10:06Speaker 4: right about how they just and kind of you know, Scott.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Spoke to it. He just seems more in control.
- 10:12Speaker 4: And I can I'll be the first one to admit that,
- 10:15Speaker 4: you know, like I said, everybody eats was was bs
- 10:18Speaker 4: to me, and like I said, I needed Brandon Bee
- 10:20Speaker 4: to replace stuff on Diggs and he did. He finally
- 10:23Speaker 4: woke up after that that you know that false three
- 10:25Speaker 4: and oh start had those two losses and he goes
- 10:27Speaker 4: out and gets the number one receiver in Amari Cooper.
- 10:29Speaker 4: But DT, one of the cool things about watching him
- 10:32Speaker 4: play was that, you know, every time Casey made a
- 10:36Speaker 4: run or what if the case do you want to
- 10:38Speaker 4: call it, tried to make a comeback, it just seemed
- 10:40Speaker 4: like we were right there with an answer, and it
- 10:42Speaker 4: never seemed like the game was out of hand. It
- 10:44Speaker 4: never seemed like Casey was in control. I always felt
- 10:47Speaker 4: like we were in control.
- 10:47Speaker 1: DT.
- 10:48Speaker 4: I always felt like we were the better team that
- 10:50Speaker 4: day on Sunday, and it was just it was refreshing
- 10:53Speaker 4: to see that every time they scored, they took a
- 10:55Speaker 4: little one point lead, you know, Bass missed the extra point,
- 10:57Speaker 4: we were right there to take the lead back.
- 10:59Speaker 1: It was no delayed for a long time.
- 11:00Speaker 4: Where we were down or we're starting to doubt and wonder,
- 11:03Speaker 4: and DT I swear it just seemed like he was
- 11:06Speaker 4: just in control of that game.
- 11:07Speaker 1: And obviously we'll talk about the great play and they're.
- 11:09Speaker 4: Always already talking about how it's gonna be on this
- 11:11Speaker 4: Hall of Fame Montage and Caple one day. But DT
- 11:15Speaker 4: watching him play and seeing the type of control that
- 11:17Speaker 4: he had over the offense, anything that Casey did, I
- 11:20Speaker 4: still felt like we were in control. And although I
- 11:23Speaker 4: was nervous because of the opponent and I'm up and
- 11:25Speaker 4: down out of the couch and stuff like that, I
- 11:27Speaker 4: never felt like Kansas City was the better team that day.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Never.
- 11:32Speaker 6: No, wait, and you look at I mean the predictable
- 11:35Speaker 6: Bill's offense, this first down run, this first down run,
- 11:38Speaker 6: and that might have been you know what we talked
- 11:40Speaker 6: about a little last week of time of possession management
- 11:43Speaker 6: and all that type of stuff, But we're talking third
- 11:46Speaker 6: and eight most of the night.
- 11:48Speaker 1: You knows, you're right, you're right, and we're.
- 11:51Speaker 5: Getting and we're getting out of it, you know, and
- 11:53Speaker 5: we're getting out of it time in and time out.
- 11:55Speaker 6: And that was the heroics we saw back in twenty
- 11:57Speaker 6: twenty one of Josh Allen when we were about layups
- 12:00Speaker 6: and getting the ball down the field. It was in
- 12:02Speaker 6: third and long and we'd just pick it up. There
- 12:04Speaker 6: was never an issue of picking it up. And we
- 12:06Speaker 6: haven't really seen that this year, of really converting on
- 12:10Speaker 6: those third downs because they were in third and long
- 12:12Speaker 6: all night, and he obviously found a way to convert
- 12:15Speaker 6: every single time.
- 12:17Speaker 5: Not every single time, but you know, what I mean.
- 12:18Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it was amazing because of the fact that,
- 12:21Speaker 4: like I said, just the fact that Scott every time
- 12:24Speaker 4: that Casey had something to say, we had something to
- 12:26Speaker 4: say right back. And I really enjoyed that part of
- 12:29Speaker 4: the game because, you know, we go up early in
- 12:30Speaker 4: the first quarter, James Cook on a little three yard rush,
- 12:33Speaker 4: and then second quarter starts in Casey. You know, they
- 12:35Speaker 4: have that little worthy play and he gets this touchdown,
- 12:38Speaker 4: they drive down the field.
- 12:40Speaker 1: We were right there with the response. I mean, James
- 12:42Speaker 1: Cook right up the middle.
- 12:43Speaker 4: As the second quarters, getting to the midway point, it
- 12:45Speaker 4: was just a situation where I just felt in control
- 12:47Speaker 4: of that game.
- 12:48Speaker 1: And I know the opponent, and I tried.
- 12:50Speaker 4: To warn everybody last week, don't be scared of the opponent,
- 12:52Speaker 4: but boy, it seemed like they were in control. Am
- 12:55Speaker 4: I Am I tripping? Or did you consume the game
- 12:58Speaker 4: the same way? I felt in control, know that it
- 13:00Speaker 4: was close and nip and tuck for a little bit.
- 13:02Speaker 4: I felt like the Bills are in control.
- 13:04Speaker 3: Of that game exactly. And I think a big part
- 13:06Speaker 3: of that is Josh's calmness. You know, he doesn't get
- 13:08Speaker 3: into hero ball mode nearly as frequently where he's trying
- 13:12Speaker 3: too hard. I'm just looking at the first touchdown drive.
- 13:15Speaker 3: So we have a third and six converted, we have
- 13:17Speaker 3: a third and eight converted. You know, the next next
- 13:21Speaker 3: couple of things here scrolling down third and eight, fourth
- 13:25Speaker 3: and eight, fourth and thirteen, first and ten at the
- 13:28Speaker 3: casey twelve, I mean, just and it wasn't heroics, it
- 13:33Speaker 3: was just execution.
- 13:35Speaker 1: You know.
- 13:35Speaker 3: He threw the ball to nine different guys. And I
- 13:37Speaker 3: think everybody eats is now starting to function because you
- 13:41Speaker 3: have a guy like Amari.
- 13:42Speaker 2: Cooper that enables everybody to eat.
- 13:45Speaker 3: So we're not a you know, like Pittsburgh's got a
- 13:47Speaker 3: dude who catches passes and he wears shirt number fourteen,
- 13:50Speaker 3: and that's the passing offense. You know, Friar Muth will
- 13:53Speaker 3: catch a couple of pat and we're not that. And
- 13:56Speaker 3: I like that about our offense. But yeah, getting over
- 13:59Speaker 3: on those third and lungs give you so much confidence
- 14:02Speaker 3: you never feel I think that's why you just never
- 14:05Speaker 3: feel like you're you're in big trouble, right because you're
- 14:08Speaker 3: able to pick those up and being aggressive in our
- 14:11Speaker 3: fourth down conversion attempts picking the right times to go
- 14:15Speaker 3: and then the right times to not man. That just
- 14:19Speaker 3: that's what I think builds that confidence. And I never
- 14:21Speaker 3: felt like, man, we're the toast, you know, I never
- 14:24Speaker 3: had that, But you know, I just it felt confident
- 14:27Speaker 3: and comfortable. But to be able to win that without
- 14:30Speaker 3: having a bunch of drama at the end, whether it's
- 14:33Speaker 3: officiating or back and forth back, you know, three three
- 14:36Speaker 3: lead changes in the last minute and a half.
- 14:38Speaker 2: You know, I just don't need that in my life right.
- 14:40Speaker 1: Now, you know.
- 14:41Speaker 3: And so it felt good to to just go win
- 14:44Speaker 3: the damn game and close it out and then for
- 14:46Speaker 3: Bernard to slam the door with that pick. That what
- 14:50Speaker 3: an athletic pick that was to shut it down. That's
- 14:52Speaker 3: how you do it.
- 14:54Speaker 4: It's wild because and I love that you talked about
- 14:57Speaker 4: the defense DT. I talk so much, you know, shit
- 15:00Speaker 4: about McDermott, but like he's putting together some master classes
- 15:04Speaker 4: between Miami last year and then he's got you know,
- 15:06Speaker 4: these games this year where the DS is clamping down,
- 15:09Speaker 4: and again we've got to give credit to Bobby Babbage.
- 15:11Speaker 4: I know that somebody spoke to it last week about
- 15:13Speaker 4: how he's given Bobby, you know, a little bit more
- 15:15Speaker 4: range and a little bit more freedom to kind of
- 15:17Speaker 4: do his thing and come up with new ideas in
- 15:19Speaker 4: that respect. But this is still McDermott's baby. It's still
- 15:21Speaker 4: his defense.
- 15:23Speaker 1: D T. McDermott is is kind of.
- 15:26Speaker 4: Secretly and quietly putting together a really really good season
- 15:30Speaker 4: in respects to the fact that I don't I mean,
- 15:33Speaker 4: I do fear Baltimore's offense and their potential. Obviously we
- 15:35Speaker 4: saw that up close earlier in the year. Obviously we're
- 15:37Speaker 4: a different team now, but there's not too many offenses
- 15:40Speaker 4: in the league that I don't think McDermott can come
- 15:42Speaker 4: up with an answer for, and chiefly the Chiefs among them.
- 15:45Speaker 4: Obviously they're the Buggaboo and they've been right the thorn
- 15:47Speaker 4: in our side. But DT the way that McDermott's been
- 15:50Speaker 4: coaching this defense along with Bobby Babbage, I entered this
- 15:53Speaker 4: last stretch of six games really in a level of
- 15:56Speaker 4: confidence where I'm kind of just waiting for it to
- 15:59Speaker 4: come out of the buy. Obviously San Francisco's compromise with injuries,
- 16:02Speaker 4: but I'm looking at at Detroit. That's the last litmus test.
- 16:05Speaker 4: Let me see, Okay, what does the NFL's best have
- 16:08Speaker 4: to offer? If it's Detroit, then sign me up. Let's
- 16:10Speaker 4: go to Ford Field and let me just see how
- 16:11Speaker 4: we line up, because I don't know.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Man, he's playing good D's.
- 16:15Speaker 4: They said that terro b Now just felt like on
- 16:17Speaker 4: the field he knew everything that was getting ready to happen,
- 16:20Speaker 4: and that's how he was anticipating some of the plays
- 16:21Speaker 4: that he was making DT.
- 16:23Speaker 1: It was really fun to watch. On defense.
- 16:26Speaker 5: Well, if we boys, if last week, if we made an.
- 16:29Speaker 6: Over under on stops from this Bill's defense, it wouldn't
- 16:35Speaker 6: have been six.
- 16:36Speaker 5: It wouldn't have been two turnovers and four.
- 16:38Speaker 1: Punts you know like that.
- 16:40Speaker 5: That's unheard of against Kansas City.
- 16:42Speaker 6: Cunning the ball four times and two turnovers on that
- 16:46Speaker 6: and I guess that's a recipe to beat him right,
- 16:48Speaker 6: No left had mahomes.
- 16:50Speaker 5: You don't put thirty on you in Bigia.
- 16:51Speaker 6: But that is way over expectation, I think for this defense,
- 16:55Speaker 6: way over expectation. Probably for Sean McDermott and Bobby Davidge
- 16:58Speaker 6: to go out there in literally have four punts forced
- 17:01Speaker 6: in two turnovers obviously the turnover on the two last
- 17:05Speaker 6: to start the game and to end the game.
- 17:06Speaker 5: That's a good way to kind of steal it all up.
- 17:09Speaker 6: But you know, we talked about the offense being to
- 17:11Speaker 6: control on these third and eights and moving the ball
- 17:13Speaker 6: and their defense.
- 17:14Speaker 5: I also felt with the control.
- 17:15Speaker 6: Yes, they moved the ball a few times and scored
- 17:17Speaker 6: their points, but for the most part, you know, on
- 17:19Speaker 6: third down, I was like, usually when we play fifteen
- 17:22Speaker 6: and the boys, it's like, I don't even think we're
- 17:26Speaker 6: gonna touch him or get sack him or get close
- 17:28Speaker 6: to him. And the defensive pressure did did good up front,
- 17:31Speaker 6: made it happen. What I texted you early in the
- 17:34Speaker 6: game when Treel Bernard had that sack, Because the forty
- 17:36Speaker 6: three makes plays every week. Forty three makes plays every
- 17:39Speaker 6: weekend and obviously he does defensive Player of the Week
- 17:42Speaker 6: in the in the AFC and a true playmaker in
- 17:45Speaker 6: all accounts, we missed him.
- 17:46Speaker 5: He comes back for that Houston game. We didn't win it,
- 17:48Speaker 5: but he made.
- 17:49Speaker 6: Two playmaking plays in that So the defense full of playmaker.
- 17:53Speaker 5: Sean McDermott.
- 17:54Speaker 6: If anything, he has proven that he can elevate playmakers
- 17:57Speaker 6: on the defensive.
- 17:57Speaker 5: Side of the ball.
- 17:58Speaker 6: And I'm not saying put anybody there, but you know,
- 18:01Speaker 6: there's there's a lot of B and one A players
- 18:04Speaker 6: that are now full starters in this league, and it's
- 18:06Speaker 6: it's making all pro Matt Malono. Obviously I would rather
- 18:09Speaker 6: have him, but it's making me missed a lot less
- 18:12Speaker 6: when we're putting up defensive stops like this. Six stops
- 18:15Speaker 6: from this defense against the Kansas City Chiefs, basically unheard
- 18:18Speaker 6: of them.
- 18:20Speaker 4: Yeah, and Scott, you know, to kind of go in
- 18:22Speaker 4: that same vein, is that we touched Like DT said,
- 18:24Speaker 4: we touched Patrick Mahomes. I thought that it was an
- 18:27Speaker 4: edict that you're not allowed to touch them if Bill's
- 18:29Speaker 4: defense and we watched what has the been? You know,
- 18:31Speaker 4: our consternation every single playoff game is that, well, man,
- 18:35Speaker 4: you know the game was real close, and you know
- 18:37Speaker 4: it was a tight game coming down the stretch, but
- 18:39Speaker 4: we just the past rush the pass, which was so
- 18:41Speaker 4: disappointing last last year in the divisional round. It was
- 18:44Speaker 4: so disappointing against Burrow, It was so disappointing the year
- 18:47Speaker 4: before against Mahomes at thirteen seconds and they touched him
- 18:50Speaker 4: on Sunday, Scott and I know that that has to
- 18:52Speaker 4: at least if it doesn't strike fear in Andy Reid.
- 18:56Speaker 4: I know that it's going to be something that they
- 18:57Speaker 4: filmed for and that they prepare for if we happen
- 18:59Speaker 4: to meet them in anyway.
- 19:00Speaker 1: I mean they touched him.
- 19:01Speaker 4: Greg were so absolutely, you know, von Miller they were
- 19:04Speaker 4: on him, man, they were, they were.
- 19:05Speaker 3: We had seven quarterback hits, two of them from groot At,
- 19:08Speaker 3: Oliverhead one Da Kwan Jones, Von Miller had one, Vron
- 19:11Speaker 3: had a sack, Carell had a sack. So we were
- 19:14Speaker 3: back there and that is a new thing and it
- 19:17Speaker 3: was fun to watch. It was real fun to watch.
- 19:19Speaker 3: It was Yeah, that first interception that Mahomes threw was
- 19:22Speaker 3: the result of having to throw the ball early from
- 19:25Speaker 3: pressure coming up front on Russeau's side.
- 19:27Speaker 2: I think.
- 19:28Speaker 3: So that's why that's sadag gone important. You can't let
- 19:31Speaker 3: a guy like Mahomes just hang out back there.
- 19:33Speaker 2: It's bad enough.
- 19:34Speaker 3: He makes plays and extensive plays when you do pressure him.
- 19:37Speaker 3: When you don't, it's like so chuck yeah. So and
- 19:40Speaker 3: then you know, I think we've all we've kind of
- 19:42Speaker 3: got it going at all three levels of the defense,
- 19:44Speaker 3: which is nice. We've got the front end, we're getting
- 19:46Speaker 3: some pressure last week. The back end is you know,
- 19:49Speaker 3: between uh Benford and Russell Douglas are playing pretty lockdown football.
- 19:55Speaker 3: Safeties are holding their own. It's been okay, you know,
- 19:59Speaker 3: we could we could do with an upgrade there, I
- 20:01Speaker 3: get it. Linebacker play though, man Terrell Bernard and Dorian
- 20:04Speaker 3: Williams have been solid. Baylen Specter's had the little flashes
- 20:07Speaker 3: here and there. He's had to come in. So having
- 20:10Speaker 3: defense from front to back, making plays and doing their
- 20:13Speaker 3: job is when you need it.
- 20:16Speaker 2: And we needed.
- 20:17Speaker 3: It six times on Sunday and we got it, and
- 20:19Speaker 3: that's definitely a good thing to see. Hopefully that will
- 20:22Speaker 3: continue to trend because we're gonna need that in the playoffs,
- 20:24Speaker 3: like you said, yeah.
- 20:25Speaker 1: Absolutely, we will need it now.

- 21:06Speaker 4: because I heard somebody on gr They were talking. They
- 21:08Speaker 4: were like, you know, they're gonna play that damn play
- 21:11Speaker 4: DT on you know, seventeen's Hall of Fame montage. And
- 21:15Speaker 4: I listened to dani Olofsky. I couldn't I couldn't get
- 21:17Speaker 4: enough of it. I felt like a kid in a
- 21:19Speaker 4: candy store. I listened to Danielovski break it down. I
- 21:21Speaker 4: listened to somebody else on NFL Network break it down,
- 21:25Speaker 4: and just the entirety of the complexities of how Spagnolo
- 21:30Speaker 4: tries to pull one over on Joe Brady and he
- 21:34Speaker 4: shows man and then they back up out of the
- 21:36Speaker 4: man after the snap in its zone and Josh realizes
- 21:39Speaker 4: it right away DT, and how they described it was
- 21:41Speaker 4: that Josh literally made the play by himself.
- 21:45Speaker 1: I heard Dan Olofsky say that spag Nolo.
- 21:47Speaker 2: Won that, Yeah, he won that rep.
- 21:49Speaker 1: He won that.
- 21:50Speaker 4: Rep, and I listened to one of those live and
- 21:51Speaker 4: I was like, wow, DT. Not only did Josh recognize
- 21:56Speaker 4: immediately post snap that they were not in man, that
- 21:59Speaker 4: they were just and they were actually playing his own
- 22:02Speaker 4: but then because of the fact that everybody was passing
- 22:04Speaker 4: off those mesh routes, it became a situation where Josh
- 22:07Speaker 4: just made a play. Carl Loftus was so close the
- 22:10Speaker 4: actually forcing the fumble, and DT he makes a play
- 22:13Speaker 4: that I guess. Everybody just keeps talking about how the
- 22:16Speaker 4: stadium just kept rising and the crescendo kept rising and
- 22:20Speaker 4: rising because we only needed two yards. DT, talk to me,
- 22:23Speaker 4: I know you weren't there, and we'll get to the
- 22:24Speaker 4: Nicol City crew tailgate reported at the end of the show,
- 22:27Speaker 4: But talk to me how it was just watching it,
- 22:29Speaker 4: because I know, my black ass down here Charlotte was
- 22:32Speaker 4: up on that chair and yelling at the top of
- 22:35Speaker 4: my lungs because as he continued to run, I just
- 22:37Speaker 4: couldn't believe. I could believe it because I know Josh
- 22:40Speaker 4: Allen and I know the type of runner that he is.
- 22:42Speaker 4: But time situation, what's going on, everything that's riding on
- 22:46Speaker 4: the game, the fact that he just refused to go down.
- 22:49Speaker 1: I love it. I just love everything.
- 22:50Speaker 4: About seventeen in respects of how he plays football.
- 22:53Speaker 1: He's a football player that happens to play quarterback.
- 22:57Speaker 6: I do you look at Gick right, the most hated
- 23:01Speaker 6: uh Republicans, Yes.
- 23:03Speaker 5: One to build Popia.
- 23:04Speaker 6: Yeah, and he's this week he said, Josh Allen scrambles
- 23:08Speaker 6: are more effective than any quarterback ever. Like, yes, there's
- 23:11Speaker 6: better scrambling quarterbacks. Yes, there's been faster quarterbacks, you know whatever,
- 23:16Speaker 6: But the actual effectiveness of Josh Allen scrambles.
- 23:20Speaker 5: Are out of this world. I mean he picks it
- 23:22Speaker 5: up every time.
- 23:23Speaker 6: Last year in the in the Divisional, like when we
- 23:26Speaker 6: had to beat the Dolphins in week eighteen, right third
- 23:29Speaker 6: and eleven, and he was you know, he just gets it.
- 23:31Speaker 5: He always gets him.
- 23:33Speaker 6: And and he's been very not timid this year, but
- 23:36Speaker 6: definitely a little more laid back and his head down.
- 23:40Speaker 6: And it took the two yard slide instead right now,
- 23:44Speaker 6: he know he's not taking the two yard slides on
- 23:46Speaker 6: that on that fourth and two and going going for
- 23:48Speaker 6: the house. So you know, seeing that and the effectiveness
- 23:52Speaker 6: of him being able to to make that happen but
- 23:55Speaker 6: just the confidence we have watching him play, like we
- 23:59Speaker 6: know he's gonna pick that up, like two yards game
- 24:02Speaker 6: on the line in your own in territory where a
- 24:05Speaker 6: first down basically ends it.
- 24:07Speaker 5: You can bring that clock all the way down and
- 24:09Speaker 5: maybe a field wall and there's five seconds left. But
- 24:13Speaker 5: but the fact of you know.
- 24:15Speaker 6: Just knowing he's gonna get it, knowing he's gonna get it,
- 24:18Speaker 6: in the effectiveness of you know, of going through there.
- 24:21Speaker 6: I mean, that's when Nick Wright giving him props on
- 24:24Speaker 6: that you gotta take it seriously, and we take it
- 24:26Speaker 6: seriously every time. I you know, why watching it, I
- 24:31Speaker 6: was just looking for the two yards, you know, Yeah,
- 24:35Speaker 6: as soon as I saw it was past two yards,
- 24:38Speaker 6: immediately in my head like he's scorn he's scoring here.
- 24:43Speaker 6: That's exactly.
- 24:48Speaker 4: What I I know, you're traveling, DT, and you're breaking
- 24:51Speaker 4: up a little bit. But yeah, I mean, Scott, it's
- 24:54Speaker 4: the same type of thing. How did you how did
- 24:56Speaker 4: you consume? Because DT says he knew he was scoring.
- 24:58Speaker 4: I knew I knew that he was gonna score, but
- 25:00Speaker 4: it wasn't until after he got the first down and
- 25:02Speaker 4: then he juked one more guy and then all of
- 25:04Speaker 4: a sudden one of those linebackers. I think Bolton just
- 25:07Speaker 4: tried to like body check him with his with his forearms,
- 25:10Speaker 4: and I'm like, yeah, that's Josh Allen. When he that
- 25:13Speaker 4: s like, there's no way he's going down. And then
- 25:15Speaker 4: by that time I knew he was getting ready to score.
- 25:17Speaker 4: How did you consume it?
- 25:18Speaker 2: Because when when he dropped, when he dropped the forearm.
- 25:21Speaker 3: And kind of pushed Bolton off, I knew we were
- 25:24Speaker 3: in good shape because there's no safety going to stop
- 25:26Speaker 3: him with the goal line, that's right. I'm kind of
- 25:28Speaker 3: like DT. I'm just like, let's just okay. This is methodical,
- 25:31Speaker 3: this is tight, it's clean, it's fine. Fourth and two
- 25:33Speaker 3: is not a thing. He'll get this first down. I
- 25:36Speaker 3: got a little nervous because I thought they had pinned
- 25:38Speaker 3: him to the side line right, and when he knew
- 25:41Speaker 3: once he once he hit that linebacker, because a lot
- 25:44Speaker 3: of quarterbacks, when you take a blow like that from
- 25:45Speaker 3: a linebacker, that takes you off your feet. But this
- 25:48Speaker 3: is two hundred and forty pounds a big kid. You know,
- 25:51Speaker 3: it's not happening that way.
- 25:52Speaker 1: Man.
- 25:52Speaker 3: Too many pistachio, you know, pushing a little farm Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 25:56Speaker 3: so I just I kind of that thing with the
- 26:00Speaker 3: crowd level that was me.
- 26:01Speaker 2: Man.
- 26:01Speaker 3: I was like, oh ah, you know, I'm nervous. Oh
- 26:04Speaker 3: this isn't And by the time it goes, man, I'm
- 26:07Speaker 3: screaming at the top of my lungs. I'm jumping up
- 26:09Speaker 3: and down in the living room. My wife's looking at
- 26:11Speaker 3: me like really are we doing this again? Like, well, yeah,
- 26:14Speaker 3: the Bills are on, yeah, And I just all I
- 26:17Speaker 3: could say was Joshua Patrick Allen, you know, at maybe
- 26:21Speaker 3: at the top of my lungs with a bad word
- 26:22Speaker 3: in the middlesewhere. But to hear Nick Wright use the
- 26:25Speaker 3: word devastating, yes, in the context of a josh Allen scramble,
- 26:29Speaker 3: because he's right, Yeah, as painful as that is to say,
- 26:34Speaker 3: but I appreciate his candor you know, good recognizes good.
- 26:37Speaker 3: So he's just he's part of his persona. He likes
- 26:40Speaker 3: to troll us a little bit, and he's a fan.
- 26:43Speaker 3: But to hear him describe it as devastating, that's exactly
- 26:47Speaker 3: what it is, because you know, as a Bills fan,
- 26:48Speaker 3: you're on the other end of that kind of thing
- 26:50Speaker 3: over the years, and it is devastating. It just sucks
- 26:53Speaker 3: your soul, you know, and then you have to go
- 26:55Speaker 3: on Twitter and say things like, well, you know, coach
- 26:57Speaker 3: Reid wasn't really showing the playbook. Bags didn't want to
- 27:01Speaker 3: lay the defense out there for the world to see
- 27:03Speaker 3: but for the playoffs, and yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, you.
- 27:06Speaker 4: Just keep on yeah, you keep thinking that and you
- 27:08Speaker 4: keep coping. Like I said, we did a whole episode
- 27:10Speaker 4: on coping last week. So yeah, however Kansas City wants
- 27:12Speaker 4: to cope with it, that's fine because for damn sure
- 27:15Speaker 4: it mattered. They damn sure, we're trying to win the game,
- 27:18Speaker 4: and they did not play anywhere close to their best,
- 27:20Speaker 4: and they really haven't all year, which is why last week.
- 27:23Speaker 4: I was never really tripping too hard. I knew it
- 27:25Speaker 4: was going to be a hard game to play, but
- 27:27Speaker 4: I definitely didn't hold And.
- 27:29Speaker 2: I want to point it.
- 27:29Speaker 3: Let's this defense thing, man, Hey didn't rept your Kansas
- 27:32Speaker 3: City rushed the ball for seventy eight yards. So you
- 27:35Speaker 3: can take your crappy run defense and just put that
- 27:38Speaker 3: aside for right now, because our run defense is okay.
- 27:40Speaker 3: They're just fine. They may not be a league leader,
- 27:43Speaker 3: they're just fine. I think it hurts sometimes because you
- 27:46Speaker 3: see a ten yard run and a twelve yard run
- 27:49Speaker 3: or you know, yeah, Henry got us for eighty seven
- 27:51Speaker 3: and Jonathan Taylor got us for fifty nine. But other
- 27:54Speaker 3: than that, the dude, you know, he had like a
- 27:56Speaker 3: sixty yard day.
- 27:58Speaker 2: Yeah, than that one play.
- 27:59Speaker 3: So I think we're okay with run defense. We can
- 28:02Speaker 3: set that aside. Now, let's just find something else to
- 28:04Speaker 3: get excited about.
- 28:05Speaker 4: It's kind of like that Miami game too, where Miami
- 28:07Speaker 4: was gashing us, and you know, but they really weren't
- 28:09Speaker 4: gashing Like you know, they looked like a lot, but
- 28:11Speaker 4: it really wasn't. Because of the quantity and the amount
- 28:14Speaker 4: of times that they ran, it really wasn't that much damage.
- 28:17Speaker 1: DT.
- 28:18Speaker 4: You know, it's funny because we talk about that run
- 28:20Speaker 4: and we talk about what Josh does, but you know,
- 28:22Speaker 4: he is debilitating, He is devastating to a defense because
- 28:25Speaker 4: of the fact that you can have you know, That's
- 28:27Speaker 4: really what struck me when I would listen to Danielovsky
- 28:29Speaker 4: DT was just that how he talked about that Spagnola
- 28:32Speaker 4: won that rep and that he called the right play.
- 28:34Speaker 4: He did what he was supposed to do in respects
- 28:36Speaker 4: to the fact that they expected. Man, that's why they
- 28:38Speaker 4: called the man beater and then he you know, flips
- 28:40Speaker 4: the script by Colin's own and to confuse the quarterback.
- 28:43Speaker 1: And it did work to a certain extent.
- 28:45Speaker 4: But just Josh Allen, that's just that is, I think,
- 28:48Speaker 4: is why I named the episode the way that I did,
- 28:50Speaker 4: because with the all time greats DT, it just.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Doesn't it just doesn't matter.
- 28:53Speaker 4: It doesn't matter what you try to do against Michael Jordan,
- 28:56Speaker 4: didn't matter, what you tried to do against Kobe, didn't
- 28:58Speaker 4: matter what you tried to do against Yeah, well, Shack
- 29:00Speaker 4: was so dominant that you couldn't stop him. There's certain
- 29:02Speaker 4: players that they transcend the game. Peyton Manning would dissect
- 29:05Speaker 4: your defense. Don't let them see the same look more
- 29:07Speaker 4: than once because ed Reed is great, but Edward's not
- 29:10Speaker 4: going to be able to get Peyton every single time.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Same thing with Brady DT.
- 29:14Speaker 4: This guy is devastating, and I know that his legs
- 29:17Speaker 4: won't last forever, which is I think why I'm in
- 29:19Speaker 4: a state of just just gratitude for being able to
- 29:23Speaker 4: have him as our quarterback one because of the fact
- 29:25Speaker 4: that DT it won't last forever, that particular part of
- 29:28Speaker 4: his game won't be here.
- 29:29Speaker 1: Forever.
- 29:30Speaker 4: So it just I find myself just watching in awe
- 29:32Speaker 4: and enjoying those moments because of the fact that he
- 29:36Speaker 4: is one of one. Lamar Jackson can't do what Josh
- 29:38Speaker 4: Allen does, Damn sure. Patrick Malmes cannot do what he
- 29:41Speaker 4: does when it comes to running the ball. I think
- 29:43Speaker 4: we do have a true unicorn dt. He's he's one
- 29:45Speaker 4: of one.
- 29:47Speaker 5: Seventy two miles an hour.
- 29:49Speaker 6: That's where I sat my cruise control on the highway
- 29:52Speaker 6: usually look chill and cruise down right that we talked
- 29:57Speaker 6: about it this year.
- 29:59Speaker 5: This dude is in a cruise control state a little bit.
- 30:03Speaker 5: You know, he's a little more composed, a little more chill,
- 30:06Speaker 5: a little more vibe back there.
- 30:08Speaker 6: And like Scott was saying earlier, he didn't have to
- 30:10Speaker 6: go hear him mode until he had to, and then
- 30:11Speaker 6: it's right there, it's not.
- 30:15Speaker 5: It doesn't it doesn't take long to warm it up.
- 30:17Speaker 6: So you know, yes, the the fact that he's doing
- 30:20Speaker 6: it and it won't be forever, but he's still getting
- 30:22Speaker 6: that two yards I think forever. I don't think there's
- 30:25Speaker 6: a point in Josh Allen's career on that fourth and
- 30:27Speaker 6: two where he can't get those two yards, no matter
- 30:29Speaker 6: how limited he gets physically, I think we're always going
- 30:32Speaker 6: to see, at least that we might not see that
- 30:34Speaker 6: thirty yard crazy you know, rumble tumbling touchdown to nail
- 30:39Speaker 6: the coffin against the undefeated Chiefs, but we're still going
- 30:42Speaker 6: to see that two yards and the way it's cool,
- 30:44Speaker 6: calm and collected it as he's been all year, and
- 30:47Speaker 6: being able to switch it into god mode just out
- 30:50Speaker 6: of nowhere.
- 30:51Speaker 5: You know, that's that's very comforting as a fan. You know,
- 30:56Speaker 5: hard is he running too much?
- 30:59Speaker 6: Is it's so critical of him, like, oh, he's doing
- 31:01Speaker 6: too much, He's gonna get hurt. But now knowing that
- 31:04Speaker 6: he can still succeed and not have to do all that,
- 31:07Speaker 6: but know one we need him to, it's literally a switch.
- 31:10Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it is. It is like a like he
- 31:12Speaker 1: flips the shit a switch.
- 31:13Speaker 4: And and you had talked about how I was under
- 31:15Speaker 4: the hood, and I know you like that phrasing, Scott
- 31:17Speaker 4: a couple of weeks back, But like it is, it's
- 31:19Speaker 4: right there under the surface.
- 31:20Speaker 1: He's able to bring it out when he needs to.
- 31:22Speaker 4: And I do agree with you Scott that you know,
- 31:25Speaker 4: like DT said, he doesn't have to pull it out
- 31:27Speaker 4: all the time. He doesn't have to put on the
- 31:28Speaker 4: Superman cape all of the time, but when he's needed,
- 31:32Speaker 4: he's right there. He goes from Clark Kent to Superman
- 31:34Speaker 4: just like that. And obviously we needed it on on
- 31:36Speaker 4: that play, or at least it was fun.
- 31:37Speaker 1: To see that.
- 31:38Speaker 4: I mean he could have he could have I guess
- 31:40Speaker 4: theoretically kneeled down or whatever the case maybe, but at
- 31:42Speaker 4: that point, when he's got that thing moving, there's no
- 31:45Speaker 4: taking him down.
- 31:45Speaker 1: He's not slowing down or anything like that.
- 31:47Speaker 4: So I'm really excited now as we transition, I wanted
- 31:50Speaker 4: two fellas. You know, we're entering the bye week, and
- 31:53Speaker 4: and what is the bye week always known for it?
- 31:56Speaker 4: It's a chance to self scout. It's a chance to
- 31:58Speaker 4: look at yourself and figure out what you need to
- 32:00Speaker 4: get better at it. I know that you just talked
- 32:01Speaker 4: about the run defense, Scott specifically, and what you're not
- 32:05Speaker 4: that worried about it anymore. What are before we look
- 32:07Speaker 4: around the AFC, what are some of the things that
- 32:10Speaker 4: are still concerning you since it's not the run defense anymore.
- 32:13Speaker 4: About this iteration of the Buffalo Bills in twenty twenty four,
- 32:16Speaker 4: that you know that we should be watching for these
- 32:18Speaker 4: last six games to just you know, now's the time
- 32:20Speaker 4: to just sweep the house, get everything in order, get
- 32:23Speaker 4: all this stuff cleaned up, because this last six game
- 32:25Speaker 4: is going to come in a hurry and then you know,
- 32:27Speaker 4: the the you know, the.
- 32:27Speaker 1: Lights will be the brightest after that.
- 32:29Speaker 4: So what are some of the things that you're looking
- 32:30Speaker 4: for from the Bills to clean up in their own
- 32:33Speaker 4: respective house as we enter this bye week.
- 32:36Speaker 3: If for me, it's it's chemistry on offense to have
- 32:40Speaker 3: it be consistent weekend week out, Okay, and that's going
- 32:43Speaker 3: to come with getting our guys back, getting key On
- 32:45Speaker 3: back on the field, getting getting h don't Concaid back
- 32:48Speaker 3: on the field. And while I'm thinking of it, I
- 32:50Speaker 3: gotta we got to give a little shout out to
- 32:52Speaker 3: our guy from Yukon, Ryan Vandermark stepped in for Spencer
- 32:56Speaker 3: Brown because I mean, the Chiefs several occasions were with
- 33:00Speaker 3: their hair on fire and Josh had just enough time
- 33:03Speaker 3: to get that dog on ball out. But yeah, chemistry
- 33:07Speaker 3: on offense in in Golly, I don't know where I
- 33:12Speaker 3: feel good, man.
- 33:13Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think we have a ton
- 33:15Speaker 2: of holes.
- 33:16Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe maybe just run blocking, run game improvements. But
- 33:21Speaker 3: we got such a good balanced running back room. We
- 33:24Speaker 3: got three different style runners. You know, two of them
- 33:27Speaker 3: can catch passes for sure, all three really can, but
- 33:30Speaker 3: two for sure with Davis and Cook. Great to see
- 33:33Speaker 3: Cookie find the end zone two times. My son's got
- 33:36Speaker 3: him on Fantasy, so he was stoked over the man. Yeah, yeah,
- 33:40Speaker 3: so yeah, yeah, so, you know, I just don't feel
- 33:46Speaker 3: like we got a glaring need. I know we got
- 33:47Speaker 3: to upgrade at safety, but for me, it's health. Just
- 33:51Speaker 3: let's get into the playoffs and not be all just
- 33:54Speaker 3: the shit kicked out of us and that there's not
- 33:56Speaker 3: much you just have to see what happens with that one.
- 33:58Speaker 3: But man, we got McDermott and staff are so good
- 34:02Speaker 3: at developing talent.
- 34:03Speaker 2: It's kind of a miracle.
- 34:04Speaker 3: We're at nine and two with some of the injuries
- 34:06Speaker 3: we've suffered. We've been without Milano all year. We missed
- 34:09Speaker 3: Turro Bernard for a little while.
- 34:10Speaker 2: U corners in a corner, yeah, in and out.
- 34:13Speaker 3: And now last you know, we beat Kansas City, you know,
- 34:16Speaker 3: without you know, two prime offensive weapons. Yeah, that's that's awesome,
- 34:22Speaker 3: and that speaks a lot to preparation game planning and
- 34:25Speaker 3: development of like I think, DT said, one A and
- 34:28Speaker 3: B type players. So for me, it's just let's gel by,
- 34:33Speaker 3: you know, week eighteen when it's time to to strap
- 34:35Speaker 3: it up. If we don't have that number one seed by,
- 34:39Speaker 3: let's get ready to to to lock it down and
- 34:41Speaker 3: play smart, solid football. And I'm just gonna have faith
- 34:44Speaker 3: that coach McDermott is going to be solid in his
- 34:47Speaker 3: h in game decision making. And because that's really the
- 34:51Speaker 3: only real it's.
- 34:55Speaker 2: In the back of my mind.
- 34:58Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I love the he's what he's done
- 35:01Speaker 3: for our franchise, but man, that doesn't mean he doesn't
- 35:04Speaker 3: have a couple of things to dial in a little bit.
- 35:06Speaker 2: And that's where.
- 35:06Speaker 4: Yeh, DT, what are you looking? You know, like I said,
- 35:10Speaker 4: by week time is a chance to kick your feet up.
- 35:12Speaker 4: The players get the week off, you get a chance
- 35:15Speaker 4: to you know, restore and refresh yourself. But you better
- 35:18Speaker 4: be doing some self scouting. You better not just be
- 35:20Speaker 4: resting on your lows the entire time you're off. If
- 35:22Speaker 4: you were a Buffalo Bill's player or a coach, what
- 35:24Speaker 4: would you be telling and employing your your teammates and
- 35:27Speaker 4: and and your your team to be doing this week
- 35:30Speaker 4: in respects to some of the things that you think
- 35:32Speaker 4: we need to clean up as we approached this last
- 35:34Speaker 4: six game stretch.
- 35:36Speaker 6: Well, I'll echo the you know consistency mantra. You know
- 35:41Speaker 6: that Scott was saying, and you know, just the uphill climb,
- 35:44Speaker 6: just keep going. We're we're just budding here. I think,
- 35:47Speaker 6: you know, we a lot still under the hood, a
- 35:49Speaker 6: lot to bud. Everybody's answered the bell when they needed to.
- 35:52Speaker 6: I mean, Curtis Samuel was nothing, but he didn't really
- 35:56Speaker 6: have to be in.
- 35:57Speaker 1: The games, right.
- 35:58Speaker 5: He was just kind of a piece.
- 35:59Speaker 6: We wanted to be something, but we never really had
- 36:01Speaker 6: to be until Sunday with you know, with Kean Coleman out,
- 36:05Speaker 6: with Dalton Kate out, Curtis Samuel had to be a
- 36:07Speaker 6: factor in.
- 36:07Speaker 1: That game and was.
- 36:09Speaker 6: So you know, Amari Cooper had to be a factor
- 36:12Speaker 6: and he was Killucial here when he's on the field
- 36:14Speaker 6: is Dalton and Kate has some ups and downs, but
- 36:17Speaker 6: some of the down games, I mean you're looking at
- 36:19Speaker 6: that the game he gets hurt in Indianapolis, he's uh,
- 36:22Speaker 6: you know, a misthrow away.
- 36:25Speaker 5: From eighty yards and a touchdown in that game, and
- 36:27Speaker 5: answering the bell there.
- 36:29Speaker 6: So Keon Coleman just starting to kind of get into
- 36:31Speaker 6: the flow and then obviously got hurt.
- 36:33Speaker 5: And it is what it is.
- 36:34Speaker 6: So we're butting there, Yes, exactly, we're butting. And there's
- 36:40Speaker 6: a lot more left to go. And everybody has answered
- 36:43Speaker 6: the bell when they needed to this year, including the
- 36:45Speaker 6: offensive line, including whatever running backs in there.
- 36:48Speaker 5: No matter what on the offensive side of the ball.
- 36:50Speaker 6: At least they've answered the ball. They've answered the bell,
- 36:53Speaker 6: and and everybody's done their part when they needed to
- 36:56Speaker 6: do it. So I'd like to keep the consistency flowing.
- 36:59Speaker 6: But no, there's still we're still up upward here. We're
- 37:02Speaker 6: not peeking here, We're not playing our best football that
- 37:05Speaker 6: this team has to offer. And that's what makes it
- 37:06Speaker 6: exciting for me, and I think that's what we got
- 37:08Speaker 6: to preach into this by week of Yeah, we're nine
- 37:11Speaker 6: to two when we won some good games, but there's
- 37:13Speaker 6: a lot left under the hood. We're a lot better team.
- 37:15Speaker 6: Let's still creep, creep, creep up so we get to
- 37:18Speaker 6: the top of that that roller coaster from mountain going
- 37:20Speaker 6: into the playoffs.
- 37:21Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting that he's talking about it, that way
- 37:23Speaker 4: and Scott, you know you're getting on my nerves because
- 37:26Speaker 4: you stole my thunder. I mean, the thing, the thing
- 37:29Speaker 4: that the thing that I'm definitely looking.
- 37:30Speaker 1: For it is too is McDermott.
- 37:32Speaker 4: And and I never hided that, you know, I have
- 37:34Speaker 4: to be authentic to to the show and just to myself.
- 37:38Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna be watching him. I'm always watching him.
- 37:40Speaker 4: Because of the fact that now some people were surprised
- 37:43Speaker 4: that he went forth, I was not, because I mean
- 37:46Speaker 4: I would have been ready to call w g R
- 37:48Speaker 4: pretty much as soon as Jeremy and Joe started their
- 37:51Speaker 4: show at six a m. Had he kicked that ball
- 37:54Speaker 4: for a field goal to go up by five or
- 37:56Speaker 4: whatever it would have been, and then we lose that
- 37:58Speaker 4: game to Patrick Mahomes in similar fashion that we always
- 38:01Speaker 4: seem to lose it, and everybody knows not to give
- 38:03Speaker 4: that son of Avitch the ball back, And so I
- 38:06Speaker 4: was happy. I wasn't surprised that he went for it,
- 38:08Speaker 4: because I just thought that that's just logic. But he
- 38:11Speaker 4: has defied logic before, and obviously chiefly is thirteen seconds
- 38:15Speaker 4: as a prime example and the most painful example. So personally,
- 38:18Speaker 4: for me, I'm gonna just be watching McDermott. What if
- 38:21Speaker 4: I asked a couple of weeks ago, DT was that
- 38:23Speaker 4: has he learned from his mistakes? Is he is he
- 38:25Speaker 4: actually growing and the growth mindset that he demands from
- 38:28Speaker 4: his team. I want to see him take on that
- 38:30Speaker 4: same approach in respect to his game day decisions and
- 38:33Speaker 4: different things like that. So that's gonna be the big
- 38:35Speaker 4: thing for me personally, is watching McDermott. Some people will
- 38:39Speaker 4: will argue that, well, that game, okay, it's easier to do.
- 38:43Speaker 4: It's easier to do because it's you know, it's regular season,
- 38:46Speaker 4: and then when the lights turn brightness in the playoffs,
- 38:49Speaker 4: McDermott will shrink. Now I have a tough time arguing
- 38:53Speaker 4: with those people because I saw him shrink in the
- 38:54Speaker 4: AFC Championship game. I saw him tell the press after
- 38:59Speaker 4: they asked him about coach, why'd you keep kicking all
- 39:01Speaker 4: those field goals? He said, well, I just thought that
- 39:03Speaker 4: we needed some juice. And I remember episodes seasons ago
- 39:05Speaker 4: where I went off and railed on that cold because
- 39:08Speaker 4: if you really wanted to give your team some energy,
- 39:10Speaker 4: you'd be going for it in that situation where you're
- 39:12Speaker 4: a road dog AFC Championship game and you're on the
- 39:15Speaker 4: precipice of the super Bowl and representing the conference. So
- 39:17Speaker 4: I never bought that bullshit. So I'll be watching him.
- 39:20Speaker 4: I'll be keeping a close eye on him. I want
- 39:22Speaker 4: to see him continue to learn fellas, because I'm not
- 39:26Speaker 4: putting anything past them. Like I said, after thirteen seconds,
- 39:28Speaker 4: I was pretty much done with him, But I do
- 39:30Speaker 4: have to give him his flowers in that respect. He
- 39:32Speaker 4: has been running a great defense, him and Bobby Babbage
- 39:34Speaker 4: and I just don't just don't get in the way,
- 39:37Speaker 4: help us win, do not be the reason.
- 39:39Speaker 1: That we fucking lose in the layoffs.
- 39:41Speaker 4: And I think that's the biggest thing for me now
- 39:43Speaker 4: as we begin to wrap up tonight. The Nickel City
- 39:46Speaker 4: Crew Tailgate Report presented by Queen City Vigets, sponsored by

- 40:16Speaker 4: Nicol City Crew tailgate report for me, man, DT. It's
- 40:20Speaker 4: same week, I mean a different week, same song. Everybody
- 40:23Speaker 4: wants to come see the princess. Nobody gives a shit
- 40:25Speaker 4: about me, and now all of a sudden, my house
- 40:27Speaker 4: is game Central. I mean, everybody was here once again.
- 40:31Speaker 4: She just turned a month old last week, and everybody's
- 40:34Speaker 4: here and everybody wants to hold her, and everybody wants
- 40:37Speaker 4: to hang out at Crip's house. And I just again
- 40:39Speaker 4: I have now acknowledged DT. I'm not that popular. I
- 40:43Speaker 4: know I'm not that popular because these motherbuggers were not
- 40:45Speaker 4: here every Sunday before, so I know it's not me.
- 40:48Speaker 1: And we had a great time.
- 40:49Speaker 4: We cooked up. I cooked some ribs. I told you guys,
- 40:51Speaker 4: I was gonna do that since it was Kansas City.
- 40:53Speaker 4: So I did some classic ribs with a little bit
- 40:56Speaker 4: of garlic powder, a little bit of what is that
- 40:59Speaker 4: red peppers, in a little bit of vinegar, brown sugar
- 41:02Speaker 4: and put that in and then Bobby loves the Cage,
- 41:04Speaker 4: and DT Bobby loves the Cage and Scott that did
- 41:06Speaker 4: some Cajun honey on a different wreck, and and they
- 41:09Speaker 4: all came out dynamite.
- 41:10Speaker 1: They were really good.
- 41:11Speaker 4: The kids tore them up, the adults tore them up,
- 41:13Speaker 4: everybody tore them up, and we really just had a
- 41:15Speaker 4: great time. Like I said, I never felt out of
- 41:17Speaker 4: control of the game, but I was. I was glued
- 41:19Speaker 4: to every single minute of it.
- 41:20Speaker 1: D T.
- 41:21Speaker 4: Talk to us about how you consumed it, man. I
- 41:23Speaker 4: know you weren't there, but talk to us, man, And
- 41:27Speaker 4: you know.
- 41:27Speaker 5: Looking back, this would have been a nice one to
- 41:29Speaker 5: be at. Right, Hey, it is what it is. We
- 41:33Speaker 5: we made.
- 41:33Speaker 6: That decision back in the back in the spring to
- 41:36Speaker 6: say like, let's let's get rid of this game and
- 41:38Speaker 6: keep it moving. Got a little out of my comfort zone,
- 41:41Speaker 6: to be honest, if I'm not at the game, if
- 41:44Speaker 6: I'm not at the game, I'm usually at you know, yeah,
- 41:50Speaker 6: going and you know I might have a few people
- 41:52Speaker 6: over and it's not quiet by any means, but just
- 41:54Speaker 6: I like being in my own element and relaxing and
- 41:57Speaker 6: being able to go out a halftime and you know,
- 41:58Speaker 6: get get some air whatever you gotta do. But this
- 42:01Speaker 6: week we changed it up a little went down on
- 42:03Speaker 6: Elmwood to Mister Goodbar, one of my favorite establishments on Elmwood,
- 42:09Speaker 6: nice big spot, a lot of TVs, and heard it
- 42:12Speaker 6: was good for the game. So creative director, you know,
- 42:15Speaker 6: Olivia was like, Hey, I want to go to Good Bar.
- 42:18Speaker 6: She just bought a house in Orchard Park, so she's
- 42:19Speaker 6: getting out of the city soon, so she's trying to
- 42:22Speaker 6: you know, soak in as much you know, city as
- 42:24Speaker 6: possible before before she becomes a suburb girl. So I
- 42:29Speaker 6: was like, yeah, we've never been, you know, I'll try
- 42:32Speaker 6: it out. And but I'm like, I'm not trying to
- 42:33Speaker 6: be in a mob place. So let's go early and
- 42:37Speaker 6: if it's you know, if it's too whack or too crazy,
- 42:40Speaker 6: you know, we can always leave and go back to
- 42:42Speaker 6: you know, have a have a backup plan if it
- 42:44Speaker 6: if it's not gonna work out, because I'm not gonna
- 42:46Speaker 6: you know, play games with this game.
- 42:48Speaker 4: Right.
- 42:50Speaker 6: So so we get there and we were like, you know,
- 42:54Speaker 6: you could tell we're just old, right because we were
- 42:55Speaker 6: the only ones there. We got there at one o'clock
- 42:57Speaker 6: and we were the only ones there. They had some
- 43:01Speaker 6: really good deals five dollars. Bloody Mary's another good deal
- 43:06Speaker 6: with the surf sides. It's like a vodka and tea.
- 43:10Speaker 6: They're they're really good. It's kind of the drink of
- 43:12Speaker 6: the of the time right now. But they're expensive because
- 43:15Speaker 6: they're a hot commodity. They had a nice bucket deal
- 43:17Speaker 6: for twenty bucks. So a couple of big game deals
- 43:20Speaker 6: was good all the way around when it came to that,
- 43:23Speaker 6: and so we had a good time. We got we
- 43:26Speaker 6: got set up, had a nice little spot. They have
- 43:29Speaker 6: a big like projector screen, and we were right we
- 43:31Speaker 6: were right on it. And as the hours started coming,
- 43:34Speaker 6: we started getting closer to kick, it got a little
- 43:36Speaker 6: closer to you know, we got closer to uh, filled
- 43:39Speaker 6: up a few more people, a few more people, and
- 43:41Speaker 6: by kick, this place was shoulder to shoulder.
- 43:43Speaker 5: It was packed.
- 43:44Speaker 1: But I really that we had our you know.
- 43:50Speaker 5: We had our had our spot. So we had a
- 43:53Speaker 5: great time.
- 43:53Speaker 6: They had a DJ, so they played the game the
- 43:56Speaker 6: sound of the game, and then it go to commercial
- 43:59Speaker 6: and the was hitting and he was hitting like it
- 44:02Speaker 6: was like I made the playlist Rive. It was two
- 44:04Speaker 6: thousand hip, it was Nelly, It was fifty.
- 44:07Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was. It was the hype and I was.
- 44:13Speaker 6: I had to be on a lot of people's uh
- 44:15Speaker 6: uh in social media, people just filming me from Afar
- 44:18Speaker 6: because I was in it.
- 44:19Speaker 5: I was. I was all the way down. I was sore,
- 44:22Speaker 5: my legs were sore.
- 44:23Speaker 6: I was, I was dropping it down, I was getting
- 44:25Speaker 6: the next day it was.
- 44:26Speaker 5: I had a great time at the top.
- 44:28Speaker 1: I love it. I love it.
- 44:30Speaker 6: I recommend that place. I don't know, you know, I
- 44:32Speaker 6: don't know how many of those I got in me,
- 44:37Speaker 6: but that was a hell of a time. We we
- 44:39Speaker 6: loved every second of it, and it just felt different
- 44:42Speaker 6: in there.
- 44:42Speaker 5: It was piercing, you know, like that first pick and
- 44:45Speaker 5: it was like boom. It wasn't overall loud, it was piercing.
- 44:49Speaker 6: And then, like you said, we felt like we were
- 44:52Speaker 6: in control the whole time because the crowd was with it,
- 44:54Speaker 6: you know, and they were they were legit in control
- 44:56Speaker 6: the whole time. So I give all my endorsements to
- 44:59Speaker 6: mister goodbar on What Avenue. Great place to watch a
- 45:02Speaker 6: game if you want to really go get the vibe,
- 45:03Speaker 6: getting an experience. There was people selling stuff in there,
- 45:06Speaker 6: like necklaces and pictures and everybody was just having having
- 45:10Speaker 6: a good time and you know, enjoying themselves.
- 45:13Speaker 5: So full kudos to it at a great time.
- 45:16Speaker 6: One of the best Bills games I've ever watched, not
- 45:18Speaker 6: being at the game, one hundred percent kudos, mister Goodbar.
- 45:21Speaker 5: Thanks creative director Olivia for dragging me out of the
- 45:24Speaker 5: house and making it a good Sunday.
- 45:27Speaker 1: That is awesome.
- 45:28Speaker 4: I'm happy that you really enjoyed it because it sounds
- 45:30Speaker 4: like that was a that was not because some of
- 45:32Speaker 4: those things could backfire. And I and as I've gotten older,
- 45:35Speaker 4: I'm I'm definitely turning into Howard Simon for sure, because
- 45:38Speaker 4: I don't even want I don't want to be out
- 45:40Speaker 4: in public. I'd rather be at the house. That's where
- 45:41Speaker 4: I feel most comfortable. And then in addition, I'll even,
- 45:44Speaker 4: like I told you guys the other week, I'll separate
- 45:46Speaker 4: from the house and go to the shed in the
- 45:48Speaker 4: house is too crazy, and I'll bean. I'm not trying
- 45:51Speaker 4: to y'all, not gonna bring my energy down or anything
- 45:53Speaker 4: like that. I'm just trying to if I want to
- 45:55Speaker 4: be nervous, let me be nervous on my own. So
- 45:57Speaker 4: I definitely love the fact that you enjoyed it, because yes,
- 46:00Speaker 4: some of those things can definitely go sideways. Now our
- 46:03Speaker 4: guest tonight, Scott M. Fry, check them out again at
- 46:06Speaker 4: Scott M Fry on Instagram and Twitter. How did you
- 46:10Speaker 4: do it? How was it? Please report? Nicol City crew
- 46:13Speaker 4: needs to know.

- 46:17Speaker 2: Yep, No, it was no problem there at all.
- 46:19Speaker 1: Yep.
- 46:19Speaker 3: I was at home in the in the house here
- 46:22Speaker 3: in Ohio, and I went just good old classic purist
- 46:26Speaker 3: buffalo wings.
- 46:26Speaker 2: So I did Wings in the air frar and I
- 46:28Speaker 2: had my Frank's Red Hot Sauce and.
- 46:30Speaker 3: I did not get sucked into because Frank's makes a
- 46:34Speaker 3: Buffalo wing version. Yes, I don't need a version Francs,
- 46:38Speaker 3: I need Franks. Just put old Frank's red sauce and
- 46:41Speaker 3: butter man. So I did that, and I made a
- 46:43Speaker 3: mountain of those bad boys and ate my feelings for
- 46:46Speaker 3: a while. You fired up the air fire around halftime,
- 46:49Speaker 3: so I got myself nice and full. And one of
- 46:51Speaker 3: the things I've been working on on behalf of my
- 46:53Speaker 3: beloved bride is trying to watch a Bill's game so
- 46:58Speaker 3: that no one in the house knows I'm actually watching
- 46:59Speaker 3: it really like himself under control and I failed Miserable Sunday,
- 47:05Speaker 3: but it wasn't rage right, Yeah, Like the the Baltimore
- 47:08Speaker 3: game was was not fun to endure, and then Houston
- 47:11Speaker 3: was painful. But but this game, I was cool until
- 47:14Speaker 3: that last drive and when Josh you know, busted free
- 47:17Speaker 3: there on that fourth and two, that's when the old
- 47:19Speaker 3: decibel meter and I'm getting text from my buddies in town.
- 47:22Speaker 2: Keep it down over there, man, we go away. Oh
- 47:25Speaker 2: yeah yeah.
- 47:25Speaker 3: I got a Cowboys fan that hammers me every week,
- 47:29Speaker 3: and as soon as the bills come on, he's like,
- 47:30Speaker 3: you guys are gonna lose.
- 47:31Speaker 6: You know.
- 47:31Speaker 1: He's just like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 47:34Speaker 3: So you know when that Uh, In fact, when Josh
- 47:36Speaker 3: threw that pick, he was like, hey, nice pass.
- 47:38Speaker 2: Huh.
- 47:38Speaker 1: I like really did That's funny that?
- 47:40Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 47:41Speaker 3: I hit wings and I just went to kind of
- 47:44Speaker 3: buffalo purist with it, uh and uh it worked out great. Man.
- 47:47Speaker 3: I I did scare Gus the Pug a little bit
- 47:49Speaker 3: when Josh scored that touchdown, but he's fully recovered.
- 47:53Speaker 2: Yeah, he's good now.
- 47:55Speaker 4: Is the edict to keep to keep cool from the wife, Like,
- 47:58Speaker 4: is that is that like a mandate. She doesn't like
- 48:00Speaker 4: the noise, or she doesn't like the hoopla? Where does
- 48:03Speaker 4: the eat it come from? Because nobody will be able
- 48:05Speaker 4: to put that eat it gonna be?
- 48:06Speaker 3: Or this is a self imposed Yeah, it's a it's
- 48:10Speaker 3: sort of like a marital upgrade project I'm working on.
- 48:15Speaker 3: And it's mainly like, I don't think it. Bugs are
- 48:16Speaker 3: too much when we're doing well. But but when I
- 48:19Speaker 3: get excited about the you know, the officiating, okay, you
- 48:23Speaker 3: know whatever that's that part is probably not too much
- 48:25Speaker 3: fun to listen to, but okay.
- 48:27Speaker 1: Got ya got yeah?
- 48:28Speaker 2: Yeah, cursing out the refs or or yo yeah.
- 48:30Speaker 1: Ev or McDermott or something like that. She doesn't she
- 48:32Speaker 1: doesn't appreciate that.
- 48:33Speaker 3: Yeah, but she's I tell you, man, she's cool with it.
- 48:35Speaker 3: Though she does not come at me. She doesn't say
- 48:37Speaker 3: you need to chick, no, none of that. She knows,
- 48:40Speaker 3: God bless her. But as a you know, just as
- 48:42Speaker 3: a marital upgrade piece. You know, I'm gonna give my
- 48:44Speaker 3: part to be a good husband. But she'll send and
- 48:47Speaker 3: watch games with me, man, and she she puts the
- 48:49Speaker 3: harness on Gus. He's got a buffalo Bill's harness and uh,
- 48:52Speaker 3: you know, so she does her part. She's not a
- 48:54Speaker 3: big Bills fan or football fan, but uh, you know,
- 48:57Speaker 3: just try to be reasonable. But man, when Josh for
- 49:00Speaker 3: Patrick Allen does things like that, there's no I hurt
- 49:03Speaker 3: my throat. Man, I was so fired up, man.
- 49:06Speaker 1: I mean excites me. I am, I'm ready to go.
- 49:09Speaker 1: I mean every game day, I'm ready to go. DT

- 49:13Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
- 49:15Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I can't, I can't help it. I'm definitely
- 49:18Speaker 1: not quiet.
- 49:18Speaker 4: So yeah, anybody watching the game with me is definitely
- 49:21Speaker 4: have to be ready for the noise because I'm I'm yelling.
- 49:23Speaker 4: And then again, I've I've raised you know, two Bill's
- 49:26Speaker 4: Mafia lifers. For sure that in respects to my my
- 49:29Speaker 4: two youngest kings, Nate and Quincy, they're right there yellow
- 49:32Speaker 4: with me. Nate for sure, he's my road dog. He
- 49:34Speaker 4: watches every game with me, and he is loud, just
- 49:37Speaker 4: like his dad. So I do need the Bills to
- 49:39Speaker 4: come home and bring that hardware home sometime.

- 54:22Speaker 4: a lot of football played there and some of the
- 54:24Speaker 4: greats have have obviously graced that field. So that's that's
- 54:27Speaker 4: really cool. That's what's up. Uh what are your plans
- 54:29Speaker 4: for the bye week?
- 54:30Speaker 2: Scott Man, I'm just laying low.
- 54:32Speaker 3: I'll watch other football and I got some stuff I
- 54:34Speaker 3: gotta do around the house, and I just I could
- 54:36Speaker 3: use a break. I need a bye week, man, my heart,
- 54:39Speaker 3: my cardio could use a bye week. So that's what
- 54:42Speaker 3: I'm gonna be doing, watching the Sabers. Man, they're on
- 54:44Speaker 3: a nice little uh jaunt here. We've got a playoff
- 54:46Speaker 3: position in our in hand right now, so uh, I'll.
- 54:49Speaker 2: Probably focus on some Sabers. DT.
- 54:51Speaker 3: I got a question for you, man, Do you do
- 54:54Speaker 3: you rep your Bills gear when you go to Soldier
- 54:56Speaker 3: Field and when you go up to Monistota?
- 54:58Speaker 5: Uh No, I won't.
- 54:59Speaker 6: I I mean, I'm wrapping Bills gear this weekend out
- 55:02Speaker 6: and about you know, don't doubt I'm right. We're gonna
- 55:06Speaker 6: be you know, and I and mainly because that's all,
- 55:09Speaker 6: mainly all the clothes I have, so I gotta wear it.
- 55:12Speaker 1: That's like me. That sounds like at.
- 55:14Speaker 5: The game, I can't because I have.
- 55:16Speaker 6: I I talked shit about if I'm at a Bills
- 55:19Speaker 6: game or something and somebody's wearing a jersey with two.
- 55:22Speaker 1: Always talk, I don't like that.
- 55:25Speaker 4: Hey, you're at the wrong game, picked the wrong game.
- 55:27Speaker 4: I always talk to you.
- 55:32Speaker 5: Thing like that. But you know, it'll be a nice
- 55:34Speaker 5: neutral look for DT this weekend.
- 55:36Speaker 3: I was wondering, Yeah, because I did that. I went
- 55:38Speaker 3: to uh Bengals Patriots because, as I mentioned, my son
- 55:41Speaker 3: came up as a Patriots fan.
- 55:43Speaker 1: I don't know where I went wrong. I forgot about that. Yeah, man, I.
- 55:46Speaker 3: Forget so I had I was repping seventeen Sincy fans. Man,
- 55:52Speaker 3: they were we got kind of a brotherhood, he sort
- 55:54Speaker 3: of thing. I'm still sore over that divisional playoff round loss,
- 55:58Speaker 3: but you know, we're kind of akin to things. So
- 56:01Speaker 3: they were pretty cool. But we went and saw Patriots
- 56:04Speaker 3: Colts in Indy and I'm glad I did not wear
- 56:06Speaker 3: my Bills gear because my son took a lot of
- 56:08Speaker 3: ship from that. They are not you know, this whole
- 56:11Speaker 3: friendly Midwestern thing that's bullshit in Indianapolis.
- 56:15Speaker 2: One game day. Brother, he he ate some stuff.
- 56:18Speaker 1: Oh that is so funny.
- 56:19Speaker 5: I love it.
- 56:20Speaker 6: I love it. I love it.
- 56:21Speaker 3: Well, when you wear TV twelve out, people are gonna
- 56:23Speaker 3: take shots at you.
- 56:24Speaker 2: Man.
- 56:24Speaker 4: Absolutely, you got to be careful, for sure when you're
- 56:27Speaker 4: in hostile environment. So DT, I hope that you enjoy
- 56:30Speaker 4: it for sure. And again shout out to Paige and
- 56:33Speaker 4: Kai for sure. And again Scott, hope you enjoyed your
- 56:35Speaker 4: bye week as well. Yeah, I'm gonna chill this week,
- 56:38Speaker 4: like I said. You know, Princess Ivy turned one month
- 56:40Speaker 4: last week, so this is a perfect time for bye week,
- 56:44Speaker 4: no football, no yelling or scaring her or anything like that,
- 56:48Speaker 4: which she's she's handled the first couple of games well.
- 56:50Speaker 1: But we've got a great stretch coming up. Bills come
- 56:52Speaker 1: out of the bye week.
- 56:53Speaker 4: Sean McDermott is undefeated, if that means anything to the
- 56:57Speaker 4: after the bye. So we've got San Francisco on a
- 56:59Speaker 4: Sunday night game, and we've got probably the biggest game,
- 57:02Speaker 4: not probably, it is the biggest game remaining on the
- 57:04Speaker 4: regular schemes and SEDGEL schedule, excuse me, with Detroit and
