  Speaker 1: So ready to rock. Ready for the holiday season as
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: it's coming up. The last minute shopping this weekend and
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: this team man keeping us on this crunch time all
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the way through. Uh, you know, didn't give it to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: us easy last week. And realistically, in our careers as
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Bills fans, when have they ever given it to us easy?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Rob Right? So I guess, I guess we've got to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: be used to it. And that's just the way of
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: being a part of the mafia. And you know, the
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: blood pressure is up and down and all over the place,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: and it was every part of that Sunday. So happy
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to be back Friday night. We're feeling good and yeah,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: crunch time, three weeks left Super Bowl to remember, let's go.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I love it. Yeah, absolutely, I'm really hoping that it
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: ends that way.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: It's funny because when you talked about how our careers
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Bills fans and they never make it easy, that's absolutely
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: the case.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Last week. You know, I saw you guys saw me
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: on Instagram.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: I posted out that I had, you know, no doubts,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: and I was cooking up a shout out to Paul,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: and I was cooking up those those lobster tails and
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: getting everything ready to go.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: But I would be lying if I tell you that
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I wasn't.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Really nervous I was really nervous about that result of
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: that game last week.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: DT.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: It was funny because you looked at it, and I
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: mean down twenty one nothing first half. Right before the half,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: the Bill score to make it twenty four to seven.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: But before that twenty one nothing, Drake made two touchdowns.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: It was really looking like we were in a situation
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: where we were about to be really disappointed. And that
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: was the one outcome that I was not prepared for.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: I was not going to be prepared to be blown out.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: I thought that the Bills still a good chance to win.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: We both picked them to win that game. But when
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: the way that the first half went DT, I would
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: be lying to you to tell you that I wasn't
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: extremely nervous about our prospects going into the second half
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: because it didn't look It just didn't look good.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: The Bills were kind of sleepwalking on offense. The defense
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: couldn't stop Stevenson. He was running everywhere he wanted to.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Drake May was doing his best Josh Allen impersonation, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I stayed off Twitter because.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I knew that was going to be a toxic place
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: for me. DT.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Bills found a way to the second half it seems
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: like I had to give a shout out to McDermott.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: It seems like this this second half defense, they made
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: another adjustment and I don't know, I don't know what
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: it is. I don't know why they have to go down.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know what the reason is. But McDermott seems
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: to find the magic touch for the second half.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the people say, you know, yeah, you can't get
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: used to that. You're not able to do that in
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, you know these things. But we're going on
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: a month of this happening here, you know, coming in
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the Steelers and then then the Bengals and then the Patriots.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Really kind of all three games, you know, not as
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: bad of a deficit as we saw last Sunday, but
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: you know, the Bengals was fourteen quick and the Steelers
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: we didn't have a point in the first half. So
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it's an interesting concept they're going with. I don't understand it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I think we're talented enough to you know, figure out why,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: like why do we have to do this? But I
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: don't think you know, necessarily play bad on Sunday coming
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: out of the gate. You just weren't executing. And the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Patriots executed everything. I mean, our defense didn't stop anything,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and that was definitely a problem. And you hate to
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: kind of see the defense be able to get cut
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: up like that because you know, it kind of shows
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: other teams that there are weaknesses and there are ways
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to cut this defense up. And we've seen it a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: few times. I mean the Monday night game against the Falcons,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: similar type of style. It started off, you know, we
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: just got down early and you know, kind of made
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: a little comeback but just wasn't enough time and ended up,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you know, losing. So it's not always a comeback. We've
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: proven that we can't do it every time. But the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: past three weeks and some clutch games, three AFC good opponents,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you know, playoff teams other than you know, if if
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Joe burrows in all year, that's three playoff teams you
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: beat with comeback victories and two of those being on
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the road, right, So it's it's credit to the team
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and you know, to be able to we see adversity.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: We'll face adversity nothing. You know, we're never out of it.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: We're never scared. Going all the way back to Week one,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you know, coming back against the Ravens and Josh Allen
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: getting in our ass about leaving the stadium early. Yeah,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you gotta believe in these guys that it is never over.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: And you know you can say that, but I would
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: caution people that we can't get confident in this. We
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: still got to get back to a full full game
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and be dominant, and if we want to win a
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl, we're not gonna be able to get cut
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: up like that. I just don't think we played that bad.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: It's just the the Patriots executed out everything that Patriots
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: executed on everything. The score is bad, and you know
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: it's not like we were turning the ball over and
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: giving them short fields and they were scoring. It was
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: just the kind of the flow of the game. And
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: that's how quick it goes. We've been up on teams
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: twenty one nothing in similar situations, you know, and I
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: remember a couple of years back. It really doesn't relate
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: at all. But just to kind of give an example,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a couple of years back in the COVID year against
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the Rams at home, you know, came out and got
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: up I think it was like twenty eight seven or
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: something that Week three game, and you know, it was
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: dominating and then all of a sudden, the Rams were
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: back and we had to have like a last second
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: touchdown to you know, to Lee Smith to win the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: game like late, and it happens.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: We saw.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, look at last night the Seahawks in Rams game.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Rams are up fourteen with like five minutes left in
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, sixteen and goes into overtime. They get
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: it done. The Bills, you know, we were down with
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: eight minutes left in the game to the Bengals before
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the back to back then picks. So I like the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: fact that you know, we're you to this now and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: we can we we can face adversity and and you know, no,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: it's never over and the team's always fighting. I like
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: that aspect. But they know, like this isn't the way
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: they want to play. They want to put four quarters together.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: And so I think that's gonna be the challenge this
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: week and going into the playoffs is going to be
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: putting those four quarters and setting the dominance as opposed
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: to having to be dominant because you're so far behind,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Like setting the dominance so you don't have to worry
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: about it as opposed to coming back. But it shows
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: a lot about this team. It shows a lot about seventeen,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: you know, seventeen being able to do shit like this.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: There's not really any you know, there's not quarterbacks in
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: this league that can do that. Twenty one points in
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the NFL is huge, and for him to be able
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: to lock in and get five, you know, five straight
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: scoring drives and really not miss. You know, his one
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: miss was a throwaway. His other miss was you know,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: deep ball to Brandon Cooks that was just kind of whatever,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and everything else was on the money.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: They attacked the middle of the field and really really
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: found their way with that. The running game got back.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: So it's weird. I don't like it. I'd rather be different.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: But you got to take the positives of this and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: what it's doing to this team and the resilience is
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: building that really, any adversity we'd face, this team's ready
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to face to counteract it.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you're definitely looking at it more you know,
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: glass half full and more rosie because I was worried
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: about the fact that, you know, in the playoffs, there's
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: just there's just the margin for error is just that
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: much slimmer, so you don't have the opportunity maybe to
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: come back in a game like that. Now, obviously the Bills,
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: you know, they had the momentum, they got a chance
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: to double dip. Like I talked about, they went down
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: twenty four to seven before the half with the James
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Cook touchdown on twenty one to seven, Patriot's got a
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: lake field goal to go up twenty four to seven,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: and then right back at you, you got a touchdown
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: after half with Dawson Knox from Josh Allen and then
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: after that you get that stop. And I think that
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: that's one of the things that I wanted to talk
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: to you about DT was you know, I've been I've
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: been impressed, and I even put it out on Twitter,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: a place that I'm notoriousy known as a Sear McDermott hater.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: I put it out there that I'm I'm I think
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: that this is the best job that Sean McDermott has
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: done with this defense throughout his tenure. You think about
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: the injuries, which we always lament and we always talk
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: about as an excuse sometimes for him and kind of
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: his get out of Jill Freekart when it comes time
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: for the postseason press conference and we're losing to the
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Chiefs or we're losing to the Bengals. You find a
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: way to kind of give him a little bit of
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: credit when you know, I don't want.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: To really give it to him, DT. He deserves credit.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: McDermott has found a way to be very, very successful
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: with these second half adjustments. Now, I'm not exactly sure
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: what it is because sometimes you know, people like Peyton
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Manning pooh pooh, the second half adjustments they talk about
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: out all they're just in there to go, you know,
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: to the bathroom and get a banana, get a sandwich,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: and then they're right back out there. There's not that
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: much halftime adjustments done.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: There.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Clearly is something that's being done in that locker room
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: between Bobby Babbage and Sean McDermott for that defense, because
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: they come out looking totally different DT. I think if
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: it wasn't so stark, if it wasn't so doctor Jekyl
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: mister Hyde, with these type of performances, you might be
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: able to wash it away.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: DT.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: They are changing something when it comes to those halftime adjustments,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: because the team comes out and they're just playing. The
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: defense specifically is playing so much better, so much cleaner.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: And last week was the same way against New England.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Up there in Foxborough.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think it is? Rob and Nicol
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: City Crew? Like, is it x'es and o's or is
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: it like, hey, back against the wall, you're getting your
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: ass kicked out there. Let's find it and go out
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and get it. Is it more like morale or is
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: it x as and O stuff? You know, I I
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: think like the Actually, if it is x's and O stuff, Yeah,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: he deserves all the credit in the world, you know,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: for being able to manipulate it and move it around.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: You know, I need to see what you're giving me
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and then I have the ability to go back out
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: there and shut shut everything down in all versions of it,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: you know, every which way. So credit if it is that,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: if it is just coming in and snapping a clipboard
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: and getting his people's ass like we're better than you're
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: gett embarrassed out there, the fires us up and goes
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: out and get the win. Like, either way it works,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: but like the more credit would come for a scheme fit. Right.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: The Steelers game a few weeks ago, they said when
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: they hit Josh, that's kind of when the team started
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: getting going second half, you know, it forced the turnovers
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and kind of a disguised look to like, yes they were,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: they were lucky. But Christian Benford being in this slot,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: he's a corner and just to get that pick six
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: like and put him in that spot, that was all,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: you know, uh, part of the scheme, right, So it
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: looked like that on Sunday where the Patriots could do
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: anything they wanted, and then they weren't able to do anything,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: you know, and they got some pressure. They got their
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: hands on ten the you know bozo with the tip,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the receivers weren't getting open and it just seems like
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: that they do it just schematically, and the credits got
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: to go to Sean McDermott for that, But like, what
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: are you doing all week?
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Then?
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: You know, like, what's what's the game plan? Like if
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: if you can make all these adjustments in live and
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: then go in for ten minutes and and fix it,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: how how can you not game plan for it? And
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I guess that would be my my critique and you know,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: my way to be critical on this is if you're
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: so good right at this and you can you can
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: catch it all live and you can see something, why
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: can't all week of film because it's not the first
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: time the Patriots were doing this stuff, you know, during
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the year, and we just couldn't stop it. And then
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: all I need to do is see it and go
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: out and stop it. So it's probably a little mix
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: of both the scheme and getting in people's asses. But
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I you gotta give you gotta give credit to McDermott
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: on this, because if there was an adjustments, that's a
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: that's a forty to nine game anyway you look at it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and and some you know, some thoughts
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: from our listener, Seth you know says that the blitz
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: percentage was way up. Zach's wondering, if you know Babbage
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: is calling the plays the first half and then McDermott
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: second half. I'm not so sure about that. I I
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: you asked. I really can't put my finger on it.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: I just know that it's so stark, and I wrote
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: down some examples DT. I mean Atlanta. We think about
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: that game, Drake London getting everything that he wanted, obviously,
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Jean Robinson going crazy with the running game in the
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: first half. Second half, they clamp it down, they shut
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: it down. It's over Tampa Bay. Same thing. Baker Mayfield
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: not able to do anything in that second half. I
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: don't even think that in Jigbu or who's the guy
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: in Buka wasn't He wasn't even really a factor in
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: the second half. The Houston game, DT quiet has kept
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: that game. You talked about it. We lost by you know,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: gave Davis's foot that game.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Nothing in the second half for Dave.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Now I know that they had a backup quarterback in
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Davis Mills, so you want to take that into account.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: But the Houston game nothing, same thing with Cincinnati game,
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: and then obviously last week with New England, Drake may
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: not able to do anything. They weren't even able to
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: gain any tracktion. I think they said something crazy DT,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: like seventeen yards or something like that in the second
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: half for the Patriots. So I don't know exactly what
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: it is. I just know that I would love for
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: it to start from the first half. But if that's
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: the case, and some of our listeners like Seth is
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: saying that he needs that first half, like you were saying,
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: he needs that first half to see it, fine, maybe
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: not give up twenty one, twenty four points, whatever the
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: case may be. Twenty you know, find a way to
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: limit some of that stuff. But I mean, the recipe
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: is working for whatever reason. Now does that give me hope?
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: It really doesn't give me hope for the playoffs, to
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: be honest with you, I heard this morning on WGR
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Jeremy's talking and he said the defense is kind of
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: sneaky good. I don't know necessarily if I agree with that.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: I don't think they're sneaky good. I just think that
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: they're timely. And we talked about that last week when
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: we broke down the Cincinnati game. They're timely. They come
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: up with stops when they need them the most. And
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: I think that that is the hallmark of at least
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: an opportunistic defense, a defense that is at least on time.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: You know, if you're late, you know you're late, but
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: at least you show up, you know, that type of thing.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: And I think that that.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Could be one of the ways to characterize this twenty
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: five defenses. I think that they are timely, they make
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: stops when you need them to.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: And I think that there's a value that DC.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: There's there's definitely value and there there definitely is credit
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: to that, you know, and and it's good for you know.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: It kind of shows the the make and and and
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: moxie of this side. Right, there's a lot of veterans,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and then there's a lot of young guys. Right, there's
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: there's really not a lot of middle middle guys. Right.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: The one middle guy might be what Trel Bernard and
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: he's not even in the game. Uh, you know, like
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: you're looking at you're looking at a lot of guys
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: have been around a long time and a lot of
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: guys brand New and Cole Bishop and Harriston and you know,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: and so the mix of those those things is is
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: kind of makes the timely, the timely stops, the timely
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: plays on defense. It it's been consistent all year. I
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: mean even the games they were getting beat on like that,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: that Falcons game and the Patriots game, like, the defense
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: made a few stops, you know, and and it kind
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: of came down to the offense not being able to
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: get it going. Dolphins they had some late touchdowns. They
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: couldn't stop a chain, you know when they excuse me,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: when they really needed to. But yeah, we talk all
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: last year you can't bank on turnovers, the balls olog
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: you know, all this shit about you can't bank on it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: But it was we were getting one every game. So
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: it was just part of the game, like you can
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: kind of bank on it. In this case, I think
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: we're getting a little more in some sketchy territory here,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Like I would rather bank on a turnover every week
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: than bank on a second half adjustment and shutting people down.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Like I think it's a lot easier, you know, the
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: ladder or the first as opposed to the ladder when
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: it comes to that. But I guess the veteran leadership knowing,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: you know, they might be gassed and not be able
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: to go with you every play, but they know the
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: plays they need to make, they need to make the
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: stops and go with you, and they seem to be
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: up for that for that bell So man, stressful, stressful,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: But I got a credit to this d It's exciting
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: and and it gives this defense juice and it gives
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: us defense confidence. And you know, defense is a lot
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: about the intensity of it, you know, the like you
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: gotta come through us, like we're gonna we've got to
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: get through our pads and making those timely stops like
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: increases that intensity. They're talking about Joey Bosa, you know,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: he never one of the most quiet guys in the league,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: even when he was dominant in his Chargers' days, was
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: still kind of chill every week. This dude's on the
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: sideline going crazy, you know, right, Yeah, so life. Yeah,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: there's something to be said about the intensity. And I
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: think the culture, you know we sometimes are hard on,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: is true. Like the culture in this building is a
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: super Bowl contender. The culture in this building is a Lombardi.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: And they know they're not perfect, they know they've made mistakes,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: they know they've been sloppy in situations through the year.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: But I think that it's all one goal and everybody
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: being on the same page creates things like this. That
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: timely stop has to happen with everybody on the same page.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: It doesn't happen by chance. So it's not ideal, but
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: it's also not by chance. I think their their mo
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: o is there. We're on the same page. We need
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: a super Bowl. We know we have to be perfect
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: to get there, so we are coming up with the
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: timely stop.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, And and and Zach you know, brings
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: up a good point on Facebook.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: He's you know, shout out to our listeners.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: They're on all different platforms, so shout out to Noah
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: out there.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: On Instagram, but you know, Zach says, we don't.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: He doesn't think we could spot a team like Dene
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: for twenty one points, and I would tend I would
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: tend to agree. I think that what made me so
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: nervous last week was the opponent. That was what That's
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: what made me so nervous last week was the opponent
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: and the fact that they had beat us before. In
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: our house, I really didn't want to lose that game.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: The whole Steph Diggs dynamic, YadA, YadA, YadA. The playoffs
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: brings its own separate level of anxiety because if you
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: don't bring it that day, your season is done and
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: it's over. So I think that there's a level of anxiety.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: That kind of ratchets up. So I definitely agree with Zach.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: I don't think you can, you know, spot a team
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: twenty one points and let them get up on you
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs, because I just think that you're flirting
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: with fire. But again, for whatever reason, this McDermott defense
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: has found a way to come up with some answers
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: when it really when they needed the most. Last week,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: second half that looked like in a completely different game.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: The Bills dominate from there on out including the defense.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Really nothing for the Patriots to get again, I think
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: I heard a stat that they had. It was very minimal.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: It was not many yards out there for them. In
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: the second half of the Bills runaway thirty five thirty one,
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: Josh Allen was exquisite. Three touchdowns, two to James Cook
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: on the ground, another to James Cook through the air.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Jimbo dt our weekly Jimbo Appreciation segment.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, the man is, he's amazing man.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: And it's funny because I heard a lot of pushback
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: from some fans and some fans from out of the
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Bill's mafia talking about how all you guys always talk
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: about it's just Josh, it's just Josh, But what about Cook?
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: What about Cook?
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: We have always given him his flowers here at Nickel
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: City Crew Dt' he's amazing. He's going to need to
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: be at the focal point of whatever they decide to
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: do on offense, whatever Joe Brady wants to do on offense,
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: come playoff time, He's gonna be right at the center
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: before is going to be important.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's that's been a thing, and that's kind
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: of a you know, one of those situations where we
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: don't have to hide shit on this, like you know
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: it's coming and we're gonna be better than you and
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: get the yards. Didn't fumble this week, you know, coming
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: off really two fumbles the week before, and oh is
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: his fumble problem back because he fumbled in Pittsburgh too,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: and you know, being able to you know, still still
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: tote the pill, still be strong and you know, not
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: fumble in that day. I mean a fumble Sunday might
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: have been in right, that might that might have been
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: like you know, the the nail and the coffin of
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: coming back into that game. So credit to that is
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: it is the mo of the offense. I mean, yes,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen is the reason we score five touchdowns in
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: a row because he's just he's just diabolical and not
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: missing throws and you're you're never dead on third down
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: or whatever it is. But this James Cook addition has
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: been so critical to that success. Being able to for
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: a defense to kind of be on their heels so
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen can come at him and you know, credit
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: credit to it, you know, getting way more touches than
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: he was last year. You know, just just answering the
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: belt at all costs, keep that fumble problem down dynamic.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: You know, he has a knact for the end zone.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: When he's close, he gets in and what's he got now?
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Twelve twelve?
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and he's only like twenty three yards or
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: something like that.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: From from Jonathan Taylor for the league League for.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Yees for the rushing title and I mean just Sunday,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: cold one and win coming off the lake in Lake
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Erie against Cleveland. Brown's a crazy pass rusher, Miles Garrett.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see a very similar game to
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: what we saw in Pittsburgh with kind of just chipping
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: out the outside and running that ball thirty times. So
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: he's gonna have a good chance at to you know,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: take that rushing lead and joy even more on on Sunday.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: We want to you know, generally he's been extremely healthy
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: in his career. We want to keep that up, especially
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: towards the end of the year with cold and soft tissue.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: And you know, we don't need him to tote the
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: pill thirty times in this Cleveland game if we don't
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: need them too, right, like get up, get this win,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: and we don't need that total day. We don't need
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: him to to the against the Eagles all that time.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Hopefully we're all sitting in Week eighteen as well, so
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: kind of ease out. I want him to get the
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: get the records, get sure. He deserves it, He deserves
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: the Russian title, he deserves you know, the you know,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: as many touchdowns as you can get. I'm in fantasy
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: playoffs with him, and I need him to, you know,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I need him so go after it. But you know,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: you've earned the respect now to kind of just chill
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: out and hopefully, you know, do your thing the next
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks. But we're not you know, we don't
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: have to rely on it as much, but we are
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: gonna have to rely on it come January.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess we will, because I think that he is.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: He's integral to what the Bills do on offense, and again,
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: whatever Joe Brady is doing.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: I heard some more.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: Stuff again about Joe Brady's saving stuff for the playoffs.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, I really hope that shit is true, because
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: I have been on his ass all season long, and
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: you know, I just don't know if he's got some
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: type of secret, super secret playbook waiting in the wings.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Maybe he does, and he'll surprise us all but it'll
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: be interesting to see now.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: As we transition.
• 24:02

  Speaker 3: we transition. You know, I name the episode of the
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: way that I did because I expect of victory on Sunday.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I expect it to be in resounding fashion. However, I
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: know that weird should happen, so I avoid disaster, DT
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: avoid any major fuck ups. How about that? Can I
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: see Shandor Sanders and the Cleveland Browns beating the Buffalo Bills?
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: No I cannot.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Can I see the defense just letting him, you know,
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: rip them up and down the field, No I cannot.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: I have seen weirder stuff happen the Urban Meyer game,
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: whatever the case may be. Weird games have happened between
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Buffalo and Cleveland.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: We've seen there.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: You and I have witnessed some of that throughout our fandom,
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: especially through the drought.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Nothing weird this weekend.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Take care of business, find a way to lock up
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: this game, and hopefully you lock it up early where
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: you you dishearten them where they don't really have much
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: to play for besides Miles Garrett trying to get that
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: sack record, and you can get out of town, head
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: back up to ninety and and get home.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Nice, safe and sound before the holiday week DT.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Don't fuck around with these guys just because not because
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: they're better than you or that they can legitimately beat you,
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: but because you don't even I don't even want one
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: of those bang up injuries at the last second, you
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: know what I mean of the season where where it's
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: affecting you in the playoffs, find a way to take
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: care of business and get those guys out of there
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: as quickly as possible. Nothing, no, no, what is it
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: Bobby watching Stranger Things my oldest king, No stranger things.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: No weird shit.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: This weekend up the up the ninety in Lake Erie
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: against Cleveland. Nothing nothing weird.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, for the most part this year, they've
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: they've been able to handle, you know, inferior teams. You
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: know obviously what we witness out.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: You know, not Miami again that you really need.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but Miami coming in. But Miami coming in
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: is still gonna finish five this year, you know, Okay,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I yeah, but you know this is this is one
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: that the Saints. You know, the Saints they kind of
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: took late, but they were in control that that Saints
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: game really the whole time, and you know, just kind
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: of had to finish it up at the end. I
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: the only thing is the Miles Garrett Sack. They have
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: literally nothing else to play for. I don't even know
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: if they're going game planning this week. You know, it's
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: just Miles Garrett Sack. I think that's the whole tone
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: of the entire building. The entire organization has nothing, you know,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: they they can't they got to get ready for Josh
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Allen and the boys coming in who are you know,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: need to get right for the playoffs. And they know
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: they know last Sunday was a great win, but it
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: wasn't acceptable. So I think the tone this week in
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: the building is definitely like get back. We need to
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: be peaking at the right point. This is a great
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: week to kind of, you know, be comfortable, show our
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: stuff practice if you will, a nice you know, get
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: in and get out. I hope Miles Garrett gets a
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: sack to Mitch t Bisky in the fourth quarter, right
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: that that's that's the most ideal situation. Get mister Bisky
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: in there and let him, let him get sacked eight times.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I don't care, you know whatever, but as long as
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: as long as he's in there and it's it's not
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: on him. And I think again, we're gonna see a
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: very similar game to that Pittsburgh game with the tackles
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: being out and the tackles are back, so that that helps,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: But Miles Garrett basically means your tackles are out, you know,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: like he's good enough player where it doesn't matter who
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: you got there. He's he's he's a free rusher, So
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: get the ball away from him. Control the control the
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, all the cliches, get their run game going,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: YadA YadA, yadday. I think McDermott does pretty well against
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: young quarterbacks for the most part in giving them shit
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: and and and giving them different looks. We've seen a
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: little more McDermott this year of disguising a lot of
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: stuff and using his you know, if the pass res
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: isn't there. He's using pass rush in other ways and
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: disguising coverages and getting people into some trouble that way.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: So I think, obviously that's gonna be the game plan,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: trying to trick Shuter Sanders into some stuff and get
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: a few turnovers and slow that game right down. Obviously
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: a little worried about Miles Garrett. You don't want him.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I don't care about the record or any of that.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I just don't want his hands on seventeen right, Like
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: that's the last guy in the world you want touching
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: your most precious cardgo like he's the you know. So
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: that's where I'm at. No, no major injuries, things happen.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Gonna be a cold game one o'clock. It'd be as
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: routine as possible. But I think the Bills game plan is,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: get right, we're Super Bowl contender, let's go and do this.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: The Browns game plan is, hey, let's go out there.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Hopefully minus Garrett gets a sec. So I think that
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: change it. You know, that philosophy difference. You're gonna see
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: it on the scoreboard in the term of you know,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: twenty thirty points.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it'll be interesting. Uh, you know, when
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: you look at when you look at the Browns. It's
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: funny because the running joke on Twitter is that, you know,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Kevin Stefanski has it out for.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Shed or Sanders. You know, he's trying to sabotage them,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: stuff like that.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: And you know, I don't necessarily buy into all of
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: that type of stuff because his job is kind of
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: on the line as well.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: But that's a.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Conspiracy about the dro and water on his father in
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: law some shit. But I don't think.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: But I couldn't.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: I saw that the other day that I could not
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: I could not confirm that that's his daughter in law.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Well that's his you know, his daughter, Macarver's daughter. I
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: couldn't confirm that. So I don't know about that. You know,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: from what I say on Wikipedia, there's nobody named Michelle
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: that's named the daughter. So like, I don't, I don't
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: know if that's true or not. But I did see
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: that same thing. But it's when you watch a team
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: like Cleveland DT and you watch some of the dysfunction,
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: it reminds you of what we where we've come from me,
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And so that's why I
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: understand where Bill's Mafia talks about well be grateful and
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: stuff like that, and I get it. And before we
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: get into you know, a topic that I wanted to
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: get into with you specifically about this playoffs DT. It's
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: funny when you watch other organizations that are dysfunctional DT,
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: because it kind of reminds you that, man, we have
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: come a long way. We used to be that type
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: of team. We used to have those types of conversations.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: We're no longer having them anymore.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: DT.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: And I'm I for one, this Christmas season, coming off
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: the Thanksgiving season, I am I'm thankful for that. I
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: am grateful to not be one of those dysfunctional franchises
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: anymore because you watch it and sometimes all you can
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: do is shake your head because you're absolutely right.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: I saw the Tim McCarver stuff. I saw all this weird.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Stuff about this team this week, and I'm just really
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: happy that we're not We're not a part of that anymore.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: That's not that's not in our DNA.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you got you've gotten shipped for you
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: know when when people you're being critical and people come
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: at you and say like, well, would you rather not
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: be in the drought? Like of course, you know, of
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: course I would rather I would rather this, but it's
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: okay to increase our standards. And yeah, that shows that
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: they're you know, there's just no no, you know, realistically,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: they had a great draft. You know, all their all
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: their players are skilled players and they're they're decent. Isaiah
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Bomb's looking okay, and that fan in the tight end
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: is looking looking like he's going to be a future star.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: And you know they're getting guys that might make plays.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: But overall, yeah, it's dysfunctional and it's nice, you know,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: to see that, and you know, we can be super
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: critical and you know, we're in the super Bowl window.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: We got to do everything we can. But there's teams
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: out there year in and year out. I mean, the
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Jets have been doing this for forever, literally like purposely,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: you know that everybody. There's so many teams that there's
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: more teams that are a mess than teams that have
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: it together right in the in the league, like way
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: more and not like completely only win in four games,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: but like look at the Dolphins this year, right like
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: look at you know, look at even the Buccaneers. Uh,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: they're like gonna win their division at five hundred and
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: it's like so and then you look you look at
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: the top tier teams in the league, there's very few
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: that operate, you know, like us, and so you got
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: to be grateful for that. And uh yeah, it's it's
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: it's nice to see that it's not us and you know,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: we're not the joke going into this game.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is funny.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: And she's messing with you because you see, sheed right there, DT,
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: you were right.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: You know, you had the optimistic approach a couple of
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: weeks ago.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: We had them one and and you know, she was,
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: you know, pretty much doing glooming. And I felt like
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: I was a positive guy for once in respects to
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm always called the pessimist of the group.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: But listen, it's funny. Shout out to she. We really
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: love you, man, We appreciate your support. It's funny because DT,
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: I wanted to get into something that I think has
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: come up before before we transition. I mean, so nothing
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: crazy Sunday. We expect, you know, everything to just go
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: as planned. We're not going to fall down seventeen nothing
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: to this garbage team. Don't give them any light, don't
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: give them any hope. Find a way to get in
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Shador's face, stay in his face and as long as
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: you do that, you find a way to be successful.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Correct. I'm more to say weight length there. Okay, all right,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: all right, we're good there. Well, DT, something has come
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: up that.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: I heard a lot about and I've been hearing more
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: about it, and it's been from the outside, so it's
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: outside of the walls of Bill's banfia.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: And I've been hearing it.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: I've been hearing it and I've had conflicting feelings about it.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: And I just got it the other day when I
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: went to the barbershop as well, and they were talking
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: to me or whatever, and they were like, listen, Josh,
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: gotta do it right.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: This is right after Patrick Maholmes acl and they're like, God,
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: Josh gotta do it right. Burrow out, Josh got to
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: do it. And you know, and I agree, Lamar Jackson
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: doesn't look right. There looks to be something wrong with him.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know if he's hurt and he's trying to
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: cover it up or what, but there's something there seems
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: to be something wrong with Lamar.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: DT. What is your before we wrap up tonight, what's.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: Your view of the narrative now that the Bills need
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: to represent the conference and get into the super Bowl,
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: which we all we hold them to that standard over
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: here at nicol City Crew. But it's starting to become
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: more of a ground swell of opinion that the Bills
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: need to get it done and get to the super
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: Bowl because of the fact that all of these different
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: quarterbacks are going to be missing from the postseason and
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: they won't be in the tournament because of that. This
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: has got to be Josh Allen's year or it's a failure.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Again here at the Crew, we always say any season
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: that is not ending in at least a super Bowl
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: appearance is a failure. But I think that there's a
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: there's a new ground swell of support for a lot
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: of people that are outside of the walls of Bills
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: mafia that are starting to say it. The course is
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: getting louder dt that that this is a major, major misstep.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: This is a major, major opportunity blown if you don't
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: get to the Super Bowl. Do you how do you
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: feel about that? Because I'm hearing it almost everywhere now.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: I think Jim Rome said it this week.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: There's a punch.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: I think it's a little hypocritical, right, I mean, I
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: think it's a failure. If we don't get to a
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: super Bowl anyway, right that we can agree on that
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: with the josh On at a quarterback, we should be there.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: But it's hypocritical. Why are you know we punished now
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: because we're the only ones still in the race, you know,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: even within even with an up and down season, we're
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: the only ones still in the race. Why are we
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: going to be punished? You know, because these dudes couldn't
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: couldn't make it. We're an inch away multiple different times
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: with all these dudes in the tournament. We're an inch
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: away thirteen seconds last year, an inch away with all
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: these guys in the tournament were right there and could
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: have had super Bowls in all those years and had
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: capabilities all those years. So it was like we were uncapable.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: We didn't do it, and there's you know, there's things
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: that happen because of that. But why are we now,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: you know, taking heat from because everybody else couldn't. We're
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: the only ones left and now if we don't do it,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: we're the failures like that these boys aren't even in
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, Like like, what is you know, isn't that
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: a failure? Wouldn't that be more in at least in
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: the walls of Buffalo. If we didn't make the playoffs
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: this year, Like, wouldn't that be worse than not going
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: to the super Bowl without all these dudes in the playoffs?
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: And that's that's kind of how I see it. It would
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: be way worse to not make the playoffs then be
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs without all these dudes and not get there.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: It'd be way worse to not be in the playoffs. So, yes,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: it's our easiest path. I like that that's the case.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: I like that there's so many questions with this team
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: that we can go into a postseason tournament with not
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: those dudes in it. I like that. It definitely is
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: our best chance. But you know, I'm not here to
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: get on us because those guys are out. So if
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: we don't do what we stink, they didn't make the
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: playoffs like they If we didn't make the playoffs, that
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: way worse. If we didn't make the playoffs, that would
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: be way worse than us not doing it this year
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: without all those guys in it.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: It's interesting because you know, I've gone back and forth
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: with it. Here's where I stand on the DT is
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: that I understand what you're saying. You know, in premise,
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: I understand that, you know, we're being almost punished because
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: of the fact that these other teams couldn't hack it,
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: but we're the last ones standing.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: So you better get it done. You better get it done,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: you better get it done. I understand that.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: However, you kind of like better get it done. Like
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: at the same time, I'm struggling with that because and
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: here's why I say that, it's not only just Mahomes
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: and Burrow and Jackson, but a large part of it
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: is also because of the fact that, like we talked about,
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: like the roads, what was one of the biggest reasons
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: why thirteen seconds frustrated me so much. Thirteen seconds frustrated
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: me because I in my mind, I thought that was
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: our our greatest chance up to this point. I thought
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: that that was an opportunity where you go and you
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: host Cincinnati. You know, now we don't know what Cincinnati
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: is going to be the following year, and stuff like that.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: And obviously there's a bunch of people that say, we
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: weren't even going to beat the Rams because they had
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: Aaron Donald and this and that, and they had von
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: Miller at that who knows.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: All I know is that I thought.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: It was going to be a great opportunity because of
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: the fact that you had just proved to one of
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: the best teams in the league, a Super Bowl champion,
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: that you could hang, and not only could you hang,
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: but you were better than them on that day. And
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: then you squanded it and your pissedl on your legs.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: So that was one of the reasons why I was
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: so frustrated about that performance was because of the fact
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: that I was Madda mcdee because I thought that that
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: was a great opportunity to go represent the conference. This year,
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: I still feel the same way, like I feel like
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: this is a great opportunity to go represent the conference.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: I think that it's a situation where, I mean, what
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: is standing in your way? And when you look at
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: the quarterbacks that you are facing up against, you know,
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: it's not really the quarterbacks. It's the defenses that could
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: get on your nerves. It's the Denver Broncos and their defense.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: It's the Houston Texans and their defense. Those are the
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: type of opposition where you're worried about getting over that hill.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: But dt when it comes to like the quarterbacks, and
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: some of the offenses you're facing. I do feel like
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: this is a great opportunity for you to make the
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl. So because of that, I think that there
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: is a little bit added pressure. I literally got a
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: text message for my buddy in case shout out to
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: John eiswer like, and he was like, what are they
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: saying in Buffalo about mahomes being out? He's a Kansas
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: City phase like mahomes being out in Borough and Jackson
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: may not making it, Like what are they saying about it?
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, is like, is there more pressure?
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, I don't know if there's more pressure,
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: but I think that there's pressure that they may not
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: want to talk about.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: And does that make sense?
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: DT Like, I think that there's something internally, whether it
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: be something that it's said out loud or behind closed
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: doors that is like, man, like, we got we got
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: a shot this year, DT like, we gotta make this
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: shit happen, Like, we gotta get this shit done. We
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: got a shot. I think that the players understand what's
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: going on in respects of the competition around the AC
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: and I don't know if that puts more pressure on
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: them or not, but I think that this is a
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: situation where you kind of you kind of have.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: To get it done.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: I understand where you're coming from, but it's like what
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: is standing in your way.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: You kind of got to get this thing done.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: That's fair, But you're also saying in that that you
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: know you're giving up on the future as well, like
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: because you're worried about this if they don't do it,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: and then they go into next year and all those
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: boys are back in the playoffs and then we get
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: knocked out in the playoffs and it was like, man,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: last year, they were all last year, Yeah, shot one
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: of the work. We're getting ahead and basically saying we're
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: giving up on the future, like cause we're we're pre
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: planning this excuse like oh we had it like last year,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: nobody was in it. That was our chance, you know.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: So I and I I just I'm not on that
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: wavele Like I'm not thinking like that right, Like I
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: there's no asterisk or anything like, yes, I would. I
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: love it. I love that I'm not going to be,
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: you know, have to worry about the boogeyman, you know,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: in the divisional round or whatever. Like I love that aspect,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: but you know, I just don't think it's anything different
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: than the other years, Like it doesn't mean anything different.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: It's like you do it or you don't. You know,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter who's in the tournament or not.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: It's more you and and kind of being worried about
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: it right now is saying you're giving up on the
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: future because this will be the excuse when we get
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: knocked out in the future. Oh well, last year was
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: our best chance. We should have done it. Thirteen seconds
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: was our best chance. We should have done it. Like
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: it is obviously the easiest and they know that, you know.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: And I love that we at least agree on that
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: that this path.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I love that. But like I'm not pre planning, like, oh,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: if we don't do it now, this is gonna be
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: my excuse next year if we should have done it
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: last year. Now we can't get through these guys anymore.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Like it because we were in it with those guys.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: We're an inch away with those guys in it, Like
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: we proved we could be there. We proved we couldn't
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: get there, but we proved we could be there. And true,
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: that's true, And so that's that's kind of how I
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: look at it. Like, I'm not gonna make an excuse
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: now for a future failure. I'm like premeditating.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to premeditate an excuse.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: I'm just I'm looking at the landscape, and I think
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: that the landscape shows that with a playoff, postseason tournament
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: without Mahomes, without Burrow, without maybe Lamar Jackson, you know,
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: in whatever state he's in, is still a better opportunity
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: than going up against all those different heavyweights. It's like, uh,
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: you know, the Mike Mike Tyson's punch out. You know,
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: you're not face I'm not facing I gotta face a
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: bunch of glass Joe's as opposed to facing Mike Tyson
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: every single round. And I understand that they're not all
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: Mike Tyson's, you know, but those defenses are real. So
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: I give credit to the defenses. I give credit to
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: Denver and to Houston. I just think that, like, I
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: don't think that like the Houston game, I don't think
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: plays out the same exact way, you know what I mean,
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: Like unless it's just some type of brain fart and
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: they have the same type of dumbass, you know, blocking mentality,
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: and they don't they want to block up Will Anderson
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: and Daniel Hunter one on one again.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: For whatever reason they would do that dumbass decision.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: I don't think that game's coming out the same way
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: Denver kind of the same thing we've seen Denver, We've
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: seen him in the post is we know bo Nicks,
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: we know you know he was younger, but he hasn't
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: gotten that much better this year.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: Like he's still kind of the same boat Nix.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: I just look at the surroundings and I look at
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: at the path to Santa Clair and I just say, man,
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: this is I don't necessarily agree with all the outside
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: media that that it's a failure if we don't get
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: it because of that, but I do think that it
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: is another wasted opportunity because of the fact that you
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: know your your path to Santa Claire is not as daunting.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: I just can't.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: I can't sit here with a straight face and say
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: that it's as daunting as it would be with Mahomes.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: And I'm not trying to come up with an excuse
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: ahead of the time. I'm just it's just the fact
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: of the competition.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: That's fair. That's fair. But I should like the gem
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: to the masses like you can't be hympocritical and blame
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: us because those guys are out, like it'd be worse
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: being out than losing and being in.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Oh no, I agree.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: And then and and Seth brings up a good point
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: that I thought about as well, was that, you know,
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: and that's how we responded to my Kansas anybody.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: He was like, well, what's the pressure? Is it internal?
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: How you guys feeling?
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: I said, this is also the shittiest defense that McDermott
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: has had. And I put that out on Are a
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: couple of days ago, earlier this week, that this is
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: That's why I gave him miss Flowers on Twitter, was
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: that this is the shittiest defense he has fielded since
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: his Bill's tenure has begun.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: That has to go for something.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: I'm not trying to give him an excuse before he
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: gets blown out in the playoffs.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling you facts are the facts.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: This is the garbage's defense he has had since he's
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: been the head coach.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: And I think that that that's gotta matter, right a
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: little bit?
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, And and we showed like that's why
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: we're giving him praise earlier in the in the Show
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: of the Adjustments and what he's able to do with
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: the talent and in and out and you know, so yeah,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: I agree one hundred percent. And you know the offense
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: has looked, you know, has sputtered at times, and you
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: know who's that wide receiver like all that stuff as well.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: So we aren't our best team over the over the past,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: you know, Josh Allen era either, you know, but yeah
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: we still if you had to pick, you're picking team
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: the worst team of the Josh Allen era going into
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: the playoffs.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: And good yeah, yes, yeah, I agree with you.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: Now as we begin to transition to wrap up tonight,

• 45:47
  Speaker 2: DT.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: All right, as we begin to wrap up tonight, no surprises.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: Neither one of us expect any surprises on Sunday. Sunday
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: one o'clock Bills and Browns again. Miles Garrett is really
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: the only interesting thing really about this clear the team
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: he's chasing down Michael Strahan and I think one of
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: the Watt brothers for the all time sacks lead. He's
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: got about a sack and a half left before he
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: passes them, and and I think that he is going
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: to get it. I don't think he's going to get
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: it necessarily against Josh, but he might get a half
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: a sack or a sack.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: We'll see, DT. Anything crazy that you see coming from
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: this game.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: I know that we talked a little bit about Shadur,
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: but anything this would be a mat. This would be
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: a Matt. This is one of like the this be
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: like a Miami lost. Correct, this would be.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: The worst, This be the worst loss of the season.
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I think that this would be the worst
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: loss of the season for sure that Miami. Only thing
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: that Miami would supersede it on is because it's a
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: divisional matchup. So I think that this is a game
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: that you cannot afford to look over the opponent. Shout
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: out to Zach. He's right about that. We are not
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: good enough to look over anybody. And I think that
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: if you play well, play well early enough, you can
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: get them disinterested and then we'll see what happens from there.
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: But don't fall down to the to the Cleveland Browns
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: fourteen nothing early. Want to give them any type of juice.
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: You don't need to give them any type of confidence.
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: They don't need it. Let them just continue to get
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: ready to pack for Cancun. As we begin to wrap
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: up tonight, the Nickel City Crew Tailgate Report again presented
