- 1:17Speaker 2: Where's would you like to be?
- 1:20Speaker 3: All right, let's get straight to it.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Excuse me? Really excited for tonight's episode.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Clearly, as you guys hear me, I have lost my
- 1:33Speaker 3: voice Nicholsonny Crew. It's funny because I had been in
- 1:37Speaker 3: contact with DT, my gracious co host.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Check them out on Instagram and Twitter.
- 1:42Speaker 3: At Adam Rupsick r U PC is E y K
- 1:45Speaker 3: and I had been in contact with him throughout the
- 1:47Speaker 3: day and he was sending me updates about the tailgate.
- 1:51Speaker 3: And shout out to our creative director, the gracious and
- 1:56Speaker 3: wonderful Olivia Agel, who sent you know, just I.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Think all of the vibes.
- 2:01Speaker 3: The vibe checked down there at one Bill's Drive at
- 2:05Speaker 3: the Ralph and I'm sitting back here in Charlotte and
- 2:08Speaker 3: I'm jealous and I'm looking at him like, man, I
- 2:10Speaker 3: wish I was with you, guys.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Man, I wish I was there tonight. Boy did it
- 2:15Speaker 2: all payoff?
- 2:16Speaker 3: As you guys know, for Nickel City Crew listeners, I
- 2:19Speaker 3: called off the party. No party tonight. For the Nickel
- 2:23Speaker 3: City Crew tailgate report, it was just me and my
- 2:26Speaker 3: middle king Nate. Like I already said, he's like pocket lint,
- 2:30Speaker 3: so he's going to be next to me regardless for
- 2:32Speaker 3: every game.
- 2:32Speaker 2: And boy, what was that? Man? That was really really
- 2:37Speaker 2: fun to watch.
- 2:38Speaker 3: My heart was getting ready to beat out of my
- 2:41Speaker 3: chest on that final two point conversion. But boy, everything
- 2:45Speaker 3: that the Buffalo Bill's on defense needed to do, they
- 2:48Speaker 3: really did. And shout out to the defense shout out
- 2:51Speaker 3: to Sean McDermott and Bobby Babbage for forgetting things done.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Man.
- 2:55Speaker 3: I mean, I was worried about King Henry, I was
- 2:58Speaker 3: worried about the run game, the read option, so to speak,
- 3:02Speaker 3: and I it just it turned out to be where
- 3:06Speaker 3: I mean, it was a situation where I just had
- 3:09Speaker 3: no reason to worry about anything because of the fact
- 3:12Speaker 3: that not only was that Toro Bernard turnover so key
- 3:16Speaker 3: and so crucial, but it was also a fact that
- 3:19Speaker 3: I mean, I just I don't know, man, I had
- 3:23Speaker 3: no worries when I was scared, but when it came
- 3:27Speaker 3: down to that two point conversion, I thought that the
- 3:29Speaker 3: Bills did everything that they had to do to get
- 3:31Speaker 3: to that spot and to earn that victory. I just
- 3:34Speaker 3: I thought that it would have been just horrible for
- 3:36Speaker 3: them to lose that game. I just thought it would
- 3:39Speaker 3: have been even almost on par with with thirteen seconds, Like,
- 3:43Speaker 3: it's just not fair if you don't come out with
- 3:46Speaker 3: that victory. I think we were the better team tonight.
- 3:48Speaker 3: I think the defense showed up in a way where,
- 3:52Speaker 3: to be honest, at Oliver Dane, who we love here
- 3:55Speaker 3: on Nichol City Crew to Kwan Jones. Those guys stepped up, man.
- 3:59Speaker 3: I mean you heard Josh Allen talk about it at
- 4:03Speaker 3: the end of the game. You heard about him talking
- 4:05Speaker 3: about how we were too light and you know, we
- 4:09Speaker 3: couldn't stop the run and we had no talent, and
- 4:12Speaker 3: he was kind of, you know, he was kind of
- 4:14Speaker 3: just talking shit about all the people that were talking
- 4:16Speaker 3: shit throughout the offseason, and I wasn't talking shit. I
- 4:19Speaker 3: was definitely not a proponent of everybody eats for sure,
- 4:25Speaker 3: and I thought that it was definitely going to be
- 4:26Speaker 3: something that was going to be a hard offense to employ.
- 4:30Speaker 3: I do think that I still can test that, you know,
- 4:34Speaker 3: I can test that Amari Cooper helped make that go
- 4:38Speaker 3: and help, you know, facilitate that offense being what it was.
- 4:42Speaker 3: But nine different Buffalo Bills receivers led the team in
- 4:45Speaker 3: receiving throughout the season, joining us Tonight, my co host
- 4:49Speaker 3: Brightney Shotgun from the Ralph Adam Dubchuck Rupsick. I already
- 4:55Speaker 3: shouted him out, already put his handle out there, check
- 4:57Speaker 3: him out on Instagram and Twitter at at Eruptick. Are
- 4:59Speaker 3: youp c c y K d T. I can't even
- 5:03Speaker 3: get into it. The damn intro was going off at
- 5:05Speaker 3: already two hundred. Bill's Mafia members were already here, Nichol
- 5:09Speaker 3: City crew already in here. Man, we already over seven
- 5:11Speaker 3: hundred DT. I what a game. And my my chest,
- 5:17Speaker 3: my heart was beating through my chest man on that,
- 5:19Speaker 3: on that two point conversion. But I really never had
- 5:22Speaker 3: a doubt. I thought that it would have been cruel
- 5:25Speaker 3: for us to lose this game.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Let's go Rob.
- 5:34Speaker 3: What never a doubt, Never a doubt.
- 5:40Speaker 4: It wasn't perfectly executed, but it was executed. Baby, it
- 5:44Speaker 4: wasn't perfectly executed, but it was executed.
- 5:46Speaker 2: That's right.
- 5:47Speaker 4: Wow, defense stand up all night.
- 5:53Speaker 2: I love it.
- 5:54Speaker 4: I love it, man, productivity.
- 6:01Speaker 2: What about what about that Terrell Bernard fumble?
- 6:03Speaker 3: Because because when when it happened, I picked up Nate
- 6:07Speaker 3: and I must have squeezed him so tight that I.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Thought I was gonna break his back.
- 6:11Speaker 3: And I picked him up because I was like, man,
- 6:14Speaker 3: did he take enough steps? And I was like he probably.
- 6:16Speaker 3: I'm like, they're probably gonna try to say it was incomplete.
- 6:18Speaker 3: And then they showed the slow Bowl replay and that
- 6:20Speaker 3: motherfucker took about seven eight steps and I was like, oh,
- 6:24Speaker 3: that is definitely a fumble. I was like, there's no way.
- 6:27Speaker 3: Look at that. Look at that scene. Look at that scene.
- 6:32Speaker 3: Look at that scene. DT, the Terrell Bernard, what up?
- 6:36Speaker 2: What up? Oh? What up?
- 6:37Speaker 3: Oh?
- 6:37Speaker 2: You got y'all up? Muted, let's go, let's go.
- 6:42Speaker 3: Yeah, No, that I mean, come on there, Fumbo, Man,
- 6:46Speaker 3: that was something else, Man, that was something else.
- 6:50Speaker 1: You needed it.
- 6:51Speaker 4: And I was saying that the possession before that, when
- 6:53Speaker 4: we held him to a field goal, I was counting
- 6:55Speaker 4: that as a stop. And then to come out out
- 6:58Speaker 4: and get that huge, huge swing, man, huge swing. That's
- 7:02Speaker 4: when leg and then I was saying, caught him, caught them,
- 7:06Speaker 4: cut the throat right here. And I wish we could
- 7:08Speaker 4: add six there and really put them away, but hey,
- 7:11Speaker 4: at the end of the day, it didn't matter, so
- 7:12Speaker 4: let's go. It was obviously huge. It was the magic.
- 7:16Speaker 1: It felt.
- 7:17Speaker 4: This game had a little magic, a little dust in
- 7:19Speaker 4: the snow, a little beautiful fireworks, a little oh beautiful,
- 7:23Speaker 4: beautiful night. There was a little magic to it, and
- 7:26Speaker 4: that that fumble recovery played right to it, maybe played.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Right to it. I couldn't see us losing.
- 7:31Speaker 3: I couldn't see us losing DT because of the fact
- 7:34Speaker 3: that when you know, when McDermott goes for the field goal,
- 7:38Speaker 3: I'm not even mad, and you already know I'm normally,
- 7:42Speaker 3: you know, one of McDermott's biggest detractors. But I was like,
- 7:45Speaker 3: you know what, just go for the field goal, make
- 7:47Speaker 3: it an eight point game, and then that forces the
- 7:49Speaker 3: pressure on them to actually hit the two point conversion.
- 7:53Speaker 3: And then when it came down and they started to drive,
- 7:55Speaker 3: when they hit that pass over the middle, I think
- 7:57Speaker 3: it was likely or whoever they hit it to, I
- 7:59Speaker 3: was like, you know what, they're getting ready to score.
- 8:02Speaker 2: And it was funny DT because I.
- 8:04Speaker 3: Called WGR today on the afternoon the little pregame show,
- 8:09Speaker 3: and I called and I talked to Jeremy White and
- 8:11Speaker 3: to Nate, to Nate Geary, and I was like, listen, man,
- 8:15Speaker 3: I have flipped it. We have focused so much on
- 8:18Speaker 3: the Baltimore offense versus the Bills defense that I'm ready
- 8:22Speaker 3: to flip it that let's just go out and go
- 8:25Speaker 3: and outscore them, like we talked about on the last episode.
- 8:27Speaker 3: And I was like, let's just go outscore them. Let's
- 8:29Speaker 3: find a way to put more points on the board.
- 8:31Speaker 3: They score thirty, we need thirty. You know, thirty three.
- 8:34Speaker 3: They score thirty five, We need thirty eight. They score
- 8:36Speaker 3: thirty eight, We need forty one forty two. And it
- 8:40Speaker 3: was funny because when that play happened and McDermott decides
- 8:44Speaker 3: to go for the field goal DT, I was like,
- 8:46Speaker 3: you know what, he's probably doing the right thing. Even
- 8:49Speaker 3: though I love to get on McDermott and you know
- 8:52Speaker 3: what I mean, I ride his ass all the time,
- 8:54Speaker 3: I was like, you know what, this is probably the
- 8:56Speaker 3: best call. Is forced to just go for this field
- 8:58Speaker 3: goal and put all the pressure when Andrews drops that play,
- 9:02Speaker 3: excuse me, that two point conversion.
- 9:04Speaker 2: It was just it was something else. Man.
- 9:06Speaker 3: I couldn't I couldn't even imagine it. Man, I could
- 9:08Speaker 3: not imagine that they that they dropped the ball. Man,
- 9:10Speaker 3: it was it was just it was epic.
- 9:16Speaker 4: I one stop, one stop, That's what I was chatting
- 9:19Speaker 4: out there, rob one stop. If it happened on the field, great,
- 9:23Speaker 4: If it happened on the touchdown, great. It came down
- 9:26Speaker 4: to the two point Ben, don't break, rob Ben, don't break.
- 9:29Speaker 1: One stop. That's all you needed, baby, one stop, And
- 9:33Speaker 1: we got it.
- 9:34Speaker 2: One stop.
- 9:35Speaker 4: We got to stop night, We got plenty tonight, but
- 9:38Speaker 4: it came down to one, and we could have had
- 9:40Speaker 4: it plenty of times, but it came down to the
- 9:42Speaker 4: last one. And credit to this team for holm true
- 9:46Speaker 4: right in front of the Mafia legendary win.
- 9:48Speaker 2: Rob. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. Yeah, it really
- 9:52Speaker 2: was beautiful.
- 9:52Speaker 3: You look at you know, the way that the game
- 9:54Speaker 3: played out and and the Bills go up, and I told,
- 9:57Speaker 3: you know, Nate, I was like, listen, we get a
- 9:59Speaker 3: chance to double.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Now we're up.
- 10:01Speaker 3: You know, we're up early in the first half, twenty
- 10:03Speaker 3: one to ten. I was like, there's an opportunity to
- 10:05Speaker 3: go up twenty eight ten and you might break their will.
- 10:08Speaker 3: And obviously it didn't work out that way with that
- 10:09Speaker 3: first offensive possession outside of uh coming out of halftime
- 10:13Speaker 3: excuse me, into the third quarter, but you know, I
- 10:16Speaker 3: just felt like, if we can find a way to
- 10:18Speaker 3: bring them to kick field goals, and that's what I
- 10:21Speaker 3: call up when I called it a WGR. I said,
- 10:23Speaker 3: let's let's find a way to make them kick field
- 10:27Speaker 3: goals in the red zone. And we did that. I
- 10:29Speaker 3: mean three, you know, justin tucker Field goals, or two
- 10:31Speaker 3: justin tucker Field goals. That were really key. One in
- 10:34Speaker 3: the second quarter, one in the third quarter after we
- 10:37Speaker 3: you know, didn't get a chance to double dip, and
- 10:39Speaker 3: like you know, we just kept our foot on their neck.
- 10:42Speaker 3: And that's how I really feel like this game went
- 10:44Speaker 3: dt is that we kept the foot on their neck
- 10:47Speaker 3: and it was a situation where you know, it was
- 10:49Speaker 3: going to take an epic collapse from us to let
- 10:52Speaker 3: them back in the game in respects to losing it
- 10:54Speaker 3: because of the fact that you know, they didn't get
- 10:56Speaker 3: a chance to convert for seven, we kept them to
- 10:59Speaker 3: three point game.
- 11:03Speaker 4: I mean, if you want to give some credit to McDermott,
- 11:05Speaker 4: some game management, we play that last six minutes of
- 11:08Speaker 4: a half pretty clinically. We played that last when we're
- 11:12Speaker 4: getting the ball and we can two for one. We
- 11:14Speaker 4: didn't tonight, you know, we did. We did punt coming
- 11:17Speaker 4: out of the half, but it's still the way we
- 11:19Speaker 4: wound that clock all the way down and scored right
- 11:21Speaker 4: before the half.
- 11:22Speaker 1: That was that was huge.
- 11:23Speaker 4: And you know that the game management we were, like
- 11:26Speaker 4: you said, we got on them there and there was
- 11:28Speaker 4: a chance if we came out after the half, you
- 11:31Speaker 4: go up eighteen on them before eight touches the ball again.
- 11:34Speaker 2: You know, That's what I told that.
- 11:36Speaker 4: We were pretty close to that blowout territory and credit
- 11:39Speaker 4: to the Ravens were sticking in there.
- 11:41Speaker 1: But came down to it literally a game of inches.
- 11:44Speaker 2: Role.
- 11:45Speaker 1: We're talking about it all the time.
- 11:47Speaker 3: Dame, that's right, and you say it all the time.
- 11:50Speaker 3: You say it all the time. It was magic in
- 11:52Speaker 3: the air. The defense stepped up. We called them out
- 11:55Speaker 3: and they stepped up. Credit to the defense. Is it
- 11:58Speaker 3: the magnum opus.
- 11:59Speaker 4: They made a lot of stops tonight, Rob they made
- 12:02Speaker 4: a lot of stops.
- 12:03Speaker 3: Oh, this is more This is more impressive than than
- 12:06Speaker 3: than the Miami game because of the stakes period. I mean,
- 12:09Speaker 3: this is more impressive than that Miami game because of
- 12:12Speaker 3: the stakes and and the fact that in this divisional
- 12:16Speaker 3: round around that you haven't gotten over the hump. You
- 12:19Speaker 3: haven't found a way to you know, to get you know,
- 12:22Speaker 3: to that point in time where you're getting back to
- 12:24Speaker 3: the AFC Championship game for what four years now. It's
- 12:27Speaker 3: a situation where you needed this, like the team needed this,
- 12:30Speaker 3: the city needed this. Uh, the fan base, Bill's Mafia
- 12:32Speaker 3: and nicol City crew, we needed to see the Bills
- 12:34Speaker 3: get over this hump because it was starting to become
- 12:37Speaker 3: somewhat of a bugaboo.
- 12:38Speaker 2: So I believe that it was.
- 12:40Speaker 3: A situation where I don't know DT, I don't you know,
- 12:44Speaker 3: define destiny or what of the what was last episode
- 12:47Speaker 3: called Destiny calls what's the name of.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Tonight's episode, you know, call answered.
- 12:52Speaker 3: I think that the Bills knew what the stakes were
- 12:55Speaker 3: for this game, they knew how big and how important
- 12:58Speaker 3: it was, and they stepped up.
- 12:59Speaker 2: Now that Baltimore didn't try.
- 13:01Speaker 3: Not that Baltimore gave us anything because we took that shit,
- 13:04Speaker 3: but it's the whole point of the fact that.
- 13:07Speaker 2: You know, big game pressure bus pipes.
- 13:09Speaker 3: I mean, I don't have any overarching opinions of Lamar Jackson.
- 13:13Speaker 3: I'm not going to go on Twitter and call him
- 13:14Speaker 3: a choke artist or anything like that. I just think
- 13:17Speaker 3: that the better team won tonight, and I thought that
- 13:19Speaker 3: when it came nut cutting time, it was it was
- 13:22Speaker 3: up to the Bills to really prove who they were,
- 13:24Speaker 3: and I think that they did tonight. Man, I really
- 13:26Speaker 3: do think that they did.
- 13:29Speaker 4: Felt it, felt it rob I mean, Olivia kenn Of
- 13:32Speaker 4: tests like beginning of this game, I'm tears running down
- 13:36Speaker 4: my face like so much, you know, so much, leaning
- 13:40Speaker 4: on it so much. When the fireworks, just this is it,
- 13:45Speaker 4: this is it us, and man, we it was.
- 13:50Speaker 1: That's why this team has to be locked in.
- 13:52Speaker 4: Your team has to be locked in for a win
- 13:54Speaker 4: like this, a gutsy win with a snow kiss field.
- 13:58Speaker 2: It was perfect. Yeah, it really was.
- 14:02Speaker 1: For if we converted on him, could have blown them out.
- 14:06Speaker 1: We'll take this, We'll learn.
- 14:10Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:10Speaker 3: Man, it's funny because when I looked at it, and
- 14:13Speaker 3: I heard and I read some stuff last night's game
- 14:16Speaker 3: leading into today's game, and they were talking about the
- 14:19Speaker 3: winner of this game is gonna be all beaten up,
- 14:22Speaker 3: and you know, Case has an extra day rest and
- 14:25Speaker 3: and and there's no way that we're gonna to beat
- 14:27Speaker 3: Pinos and he's just gonna go ahead and win next week.
- 14:30Speaker 3: And I was just like, lord, let's just let the
- 14:33Speaker 3: Bills win this game. Because of the fact that I
- 14:35Speaker 3: like all those narratives, I'm ready to shoot into the
- 14:38Speaker 3: fucking sun, you know what I mean.
- 14:40Speaker 2: This week, I can't wait to listen to WGR.
- 14:42Speaker 3: I'm gonna call up every day if I can, if
- 14:44Speaker 3: I find the time to like literally listen, we have
- 14:48Speaker 3: nobody to be afraid of. What did I say at
- 14:50Speaker 3: the end of the show last week, DT, I said,
- 14:54Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills, this twenty twenty four iteration of them
- 14:57Speaker 3: is good enough to represent the American football comp for instance,
- 15:00Speaker 3: super Bowl fifty nine. And what did I say, DT,
- 15:03Speaker 3: that was full stop? Like that was that's full stop.
- 15:07Speaker 3: There's not any caveats, there's not any asterisks, there's not
- 15:10Speaker 3: any well, if we can or this and that, listen,
- 15:13Speaker 3: We're completely healthy coming into the Night's game, and I
- 15:16Speaker 3: thought that there was no excuses. That's why I didn't
- 15:18Speaker 3: want to hear anything about King Henry. And really it
- 15:21Speaker 3: came down to DT the fact that we had just
- 15:24Speaker 3: more will. What did I say the other night Man
- 15:27Speaker 3: was that, you know, you can break a man's will.
- 15:29Speaker 3: I thought the defensive line and the way that they played.
- 15:32Speaker 3: They didn't always touch Lamar like I wanted them to.
- 15:34Speaker 3: But I thought that the defensive line, the entire defense
- 15:37Speaker 3: as a whole. You've got the Bernard Fumble force fumble.
- 15:41Speaker 3: I just thought that Sean McDermot and Bobby Babbage, their
- 15:43Speaker 3: defense really took the soul of the Ravens. I saw
- 15:47Speaker 3: Lamar on the sideline, you know, when it was still
- 15:50Speaker 3: a two score game, and I was like, he doesn't
- 15:51Speaker 3: believe they can win anymore. He trying to get warm,
- 15:54Speaker 3: and I stick to that.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Man. I thought that we had a wonderful night. Yeah,
- 16:02Speaker 2: I mean.
- 16:04Speaker 4: It was get up on them and that hit. It's
- 16:07Speaker 4: gonna get cold in here, That's what I kept saying.
- 16:09Speaker 1: It's gonna get colder, cooler, colder.
- 16:12Speaker 4: You're down more than two scores. You're down two scores.
- 16:16Speaker 4: You're it's late in the game, You're you're in something
- 16:18Speaker 4: that we were feeling it tonight, Rob, We're feeling it tonight.
- 16:22Speaker 4: Rob oh hard fought hard.
- 16:26Speaker 2: For love it. I love it, Yeah, man, I love it. Man.
- 16:30Speaker 3: I just wanted to get on real quick and represent
- 16:32Speaker 3: again tonight's episode. This special episode presented by twenty six

- 17:02Speaker 3: You know, seth our boy is texted me right now,
- 17:05Speaker 3: and I mean, you know, there were a lot of
- 17:08Speaker 3: people that were not like me DT heading into this game,
- 17:11Speaker 3: and I understand that I can respect that. You know,
- 17:13Speaker 3: I was nervous. I was nervous about the King Henry effect.
- 17:17Speaker 3: I was nervous about the eruption as we talked about
- 17:19Speaker 3: the other night. You know, the defense again. Sixteen carries
- 17:23Speaker 3: for King Henry eighty four yards, Yes, that's five aclip
- 17:26Speaker 3: and he had a touchdown. But it was just I mean,
- 17:29Speaker 3: they ran for one hundred and seventy six on the ground.
- 17:32Speaker 3: I just never felt threatened by them by their run game.
- 17:35Speaker 3: I never felt like it was a situation where they
- 17:37Speaker 3: were getting ready to break it wide open. I know
- 17:39Speaker 3: that Justice Hill had a couple of good runs six
- 17:41Speaker 3: for fifty, so obviously he had a great you know, yardage,
- 17:44Speaker 3: But I don't know, man, there was something about the
- 17:47Speaker 3: control of the defense, and I think that it might
- 17:49Speaker 3: have been what you talked about the other night, DT
- 17:52Speaker 3: was when we got in the red zone, they just
- 17:55Speaker 3: they shut shit down.
- 17:56Speaker 2: Man, the damn closed man. There was nothing, no leaks man.
- 18:00Speaker 3: When it got down time for the red zone.
- 18:03Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they had those few big plays that kind
- 18:05Speaker 4: of got him down there and then really tightened it up.
- 18:08Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, Henry got his a little bit. I mean,
- 18:11Speaker 4: Lamar was slippery, but not all night. You know, he
- 18:13Speaker 4: only had a couple of plays where he was like, oh,
- 18:15Speaker 4: man should have had him, really, and they had some drops.
- 18:19Speaker 4: The turnovers were the key, obviously, and yeah it was.
- 18:23Speaker 4: It was about that all night. The defense just one
- 18:25Speaker 4: after another tonight, one stop after another, and the offense
- 18:29Speaker 4: just did enough, literally just did enough, and the defense
- 18:33Speaker 4: finally made one more stop. And you know, I think
- 18:36Speaker 4: the tempo is fine. I think, you know, everything was fine.
- 18:39Speaker 4: We were moving the ball down there. We were stalling
- 18:42Speaker 4: a little, just like the kind of the week before.
- 18:44Speaker 4: So yeah, maybe we can break.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Out of that next week.
- 18:46Speaker 2: And maybe we.
- 18:47Speaker 4: Can break out of that next week and really, you know,
- 18:50Speaker 4: put it on fifteen and the boys feeling ourselves a
- 18:53Speaker 4: little bit tonight.
- 18:54Speaker 2: Let I like it, I like you like it. I
- 18:58Speaker 2: love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.
- 19:00Speaker 2: Like I said, I can't wait for this matchup. The surprise.
- 19:04Speaker 3: Yesterday, as Bills Mafia knows, Nickel City Crew Washington beats
- 19:07Speaker 3: the number one seed Detroit Lions in Detroit on the road.
- 19:11Speaker 3: Jaden Daniels looks like a real stud. And then this
- 19:13Speaker 3: afternoon before our game, Philadelphia takes care of the Rams
- 19:17Speaker 3: twenty eight twenty two, and the Rams tried to make
- 19:19Speaker 3: a little comeback, you know, And yesterday it was the
- 19:23Speaker 3: same shit. As we get ready to sign off tonight, DT,
- 19:26Speaker 3: over fifteen hundred people just chopped on.
- 19:29Speaker 2: We love y'all.
- 19:30Speaker 3: First of all, Nicol City Crew, We respect y'all, and
- 19:32Speaker 3: we love y'all and.
- 19:33Speaker 2: For your support and appreciate it really much so much. DT.
- 19:38Speaker 3: The fucking the chiefs, man, I don't I don't fucking
- 19:42Speaker 3: get it. Man, I don't get it. And I know
- 19:44Speaker 3: that all the memes on Twitter are like Patrick Mahomes
- 19:47Speaker 3: making out with revs, and I know that that's all
- 19:49Speaker 3: funny and stuff like that. Like how could Patrick Mahomes
- 19:53Speaker 3: run out of the pocket, go past the line of
- 19:56Speaker 3: scrimmage and then take a like a dive and he
- 20:00Speaker 3: gets called for some type of rough in the passer
- 20:03Speaker 3: when he's a runner, he's already he already left the pocket.
- 20:07Speaker 2: He already crossed a lot of scriptage. He is a runner.
- 20:10Speaker 3: I just the stuff like yesterday, I understand what people
- 20:14Speaker 3: say that the NFL is rigged again. I would if
- 20:17Speaker 3: I thought of the NFL was WWF, I wouldn't be
- 20:19Speaker 3: a fucking fan because it's a totally different experience in WWF.
- 20:23Speaker 3: Like I get like, it's not WWE, and there's there's
- 20:26Speaker 3: not Vince McMahon. But boy man, the refs helped this
- 20:30Speaker 3: motherfucker out so much where it makes it hard to
- 20:34Speaker 3: go the opposite way. Man Like last night, I couldn't
- 20:37Speaker 3: believe that they called some of the calls. Will Anderson
- 20:40Speaker 3: barely even touched him in the head hit the ball
- 20:42Speaker 3: had barely come out. He's right there on time, which
- 20:45Speaker 3: is legal, and they give him you know, it's third
- 20:48Speaker 3: and eight and the pass is incomplete and they give
- 20:50Speaker 3: him a first down.
- 20:52Speaker 2: I know we've got a whole week coming up.
- 20:54Speaker 3: We'll get a chance to talk about the refs and
- 20:56Speaker 3: talk about how could possibly impact this AFC Championship game.
- 20:59Speaker 3: But Tea, Man, I still stand on what I said
- 21:03Speaker 3: last the other night. Man, there's no reason this Bill's
- 21:06Speaker 3: team cannot represent the conference in the Super Bowl. I
- 21:09Speaker 3: really feel that we are that good and I'm not
- 21:11Speaker 3: scared of Casey?
- 21:14Speaker 1: Yeah, what makes you not confident?
- 21:16Speaker 2: Right?
- 21:16Speaker 1: What makes you not confident? And I mean whatever, chiefs
- 21:21Speaker 1: gotta play him. We got some calls tonight and bailed
- 21:23Speaker 1: us out.
- 21:24Speaker 3: We bail saying they get him a lot, they get
- 21:28Speaker 3: a few, they get them a lot, though DT they
- 21:32Speaker 3: get them a lot.
- 21:33Speaker 4: I agree, I agree, but you know it's why not us?
- 21:37Speaker 1: Why not?
- 21:37Speaker 2: Now?
- 21:38Speaker 1: It's it's pure.
- 21:41Speaker 4: Confidence confidence. I mean, how can we stop us when
- 21:46Speaker 4: we're playing like that?
- 21:47Speaker 2: You know you can't. You can't.
- 21:50Speaker 4: Credit to the Ravens were really sticking it in there
- 21:52Speaker 4: till the end. But we had control of this game.
- 21:55Speaker 4: We had control of this game. Rob or a good team.
- 21:58Speaker 4: I'm ready to go.
- 21:59Speaker 2: I'm I love it.
- 22:01Speaker 3: I love it, I love it, I love it. I
- 22:05Speaker 3: love it New Orleans super Bowl fifty nine. It is
- 22:08Speaker 3: right in the windshield, It is right in front of us.
- 22:12Speaker 3: The opportunity is right there. So I'm really excited. Thank
- 22:15Speaker 3: you all for joining us tonight on this little abbreviated
- 22:17Speaker 3: little post game.
- 22:19Speaker 2: The call has been answered. Man, we asked. We said
- 22:21Speaker 2: it right.
- 22:22Speaker 3: Before on TGIF on Friday Night, Nicol City crew, we said,
- 22:26Speaker 3: you know, destiny calls, and we said that this game
- 22:30Speaker 3: was going to be a situation where narratives were going
- 22:33Speaker 3: to be written about the winning quarterback and about the
- 22:35Speaker 3: winning head coach, and about the losing quarterback and the
- 22:38Speaker 3: losing head coach. I'm really happy that it turned out
- 22:41Speaker 3: to be a situation where the defense bowed up. The
- 22:43Speaker 3: defense gave an opportunity for the Bills to shine. To
- 22:47Speaker 3: be honest, and you know, I'm a McDermott, you know, detractor,
- 22:52Speaker 3: but I have to. I've always given him his flowers
- 22:54Speaker 3: when he deserved it. I don't know who was responsible
- 22:56Speaker 3: for tonight, if it was him and Bobby Babbage, or
- 22:59Speaker 3: if it was a collective and collaborative effort. I know
- 23:02Speaker 3: that I'm proud of the way that the defense played, period.
- 23:04Speaker 3: I don't know who called the calls, and I almost
- 23:06Speaker 3: don't care, because I only care when you mess up.
- 23:09Speaker 3: It's kind of like offensive lineman. You don't really know
- 23:11Speaker 3: the offensive lineman, and you don't notice when they're fucking
- 23:13Speaker 3: up unless your quarterback is on the ground. When they're
- 23:16Speaker 3: having a great game, you don't even notice that they're
- 23:18Speaker 3: there because they're doing their job tonight, the Buffalo Bill's
- 23:21Speaker 3: defensive side of the football. They did their job, man,
- 23:24Speaker 3: And I'm really excited for next week because I think
- 23:28Speaker 3: we're better than Casey and we'll get into it on Friday.
- 23:32Speaker 2: I think we're a better team than them.
- 23:34Speaker 3: I think they threw for one hundred and seventy yards
- 23:36Speaker 3: and they got aided by the refs. Just I don't
- 23:40Speaker 3: respect them the same way. I'm not scared. It's not
- 23:42Speaker 3: the Boogeyman anymore or anything like that. What a gutty,
- 23:46Speaker 3: gritty win. Like DT said tonight right at the Ralph
- 23:50Speaker 3: in front of all those fans. Divisional round, we finally
- 23:53Speaker 3: break through again. We're back to the AFC Championship. DT,
- 23:57Speaker 3: I guess I'll talk to you Friday. Man, I mean,
- 23:59Speaker 3: what the fuck I was I'm supposed to say?
- 24:01Speaker 2: Man, I mean drive safe? I mean, that's it. That's it.
- 24:06Speaker 4: Hey, enjoy this one. Enjoy this one. Get ready to
- 24:11Speaker 4: come to work tomorrow. Enjoy this one. Get ready to

- 26:07Speaker 3: flows here and I'm like, what is going on?
- 26:10Speaker 2: And flow?
- 26:12Speaker 3: Basically, DT, I've got the you've already seen it before
- 26:15Speaker 3: I put up the picture. I've got the Zubas, the
- 26:18Speaker 3: Zua projector, so I put it on the side of
- 26:20Speaker 3: the house. So I said, Yo, come through, let flow
- 26:23Speaker 3: see the projector.
- 26:25Speaker 2: On the side of the house. She comes in. I
- 26:27Speaker 2: didn't say come in.
- 26:28Speaker 3: She comes in, brings the babies in so my daughters
- 26:30Speaker 3: were here for a little bit of time until right
- 26:33Speaker 3: around halftime. And other than that, DT was me and Nate.
- 26:38Speaker 3: Like I told you, that's like pocket lint. He's right
- 26:40Speaker 3: next to me, and we consumed the entire game. Man,

- 27:00Speaker 3: cooked the peach cobbler. So he was tearing some of
- 27:02Speaker 3: that up. But man, I was here just like I said,
- 27:05Speaker 3: I would be no party. I couldn't handle the stress,

- 30:19Speaker 3: this ship go. If there was no interest in the
- 30:21Speaker 3: NFL as an actual entertainment sport, there would be no
- 30:24Speaker 3: Buffalo Bills. So we're just as integral to this whole
- 30:28Speaker 3: process as the players themselves, So I really appreciate it. Obviously,
- 30:31Speaker 3: we don't go out there and make tackles, we don't
- 30:32Speaker 3: throw touchdowns like Josh Allen, but we really are a
- 30:35Speaker 3: part of the fabric of what makes this whole thing go.
- 30:38Speaker 3: So puff your chest out tomorrow. You have the right
- 30:40Speaker 3: to do so. Bill's Mafia, Nicol City Crew. Where your

- 30:50Speaker 2: Please be safe.
- 30:51Speaker 3: As you see DT out there, he's getting ready to
- 30:53Speaker 3: come back home from Orchard Park from the Ralph. That
- 30:56Speaker 3: was That was it Bill's Mafia, Nickel City. We have
- 31:01Speaker 3: one more season left, Princess Ivy Kane. That's why I
- 31:05Speaker 3: skipped the season this year. I will be back next year.
- 31:08Speaker 3: I already literally emailed my season ticket lady you know
- 31:12Speaker 3: from years. He's been with me for a few years,
- 31:14Speaker 3: and I was already telling her, like yo, I got
- 31:16Speaker 3: to get back on for twenty twenty five.
- 31:18Speaker 2: Listen.
- 31:19Speaker 3: That was it Bill's Mafia, nicol City Crew. That was
- 31:21Speaker 3: the last game of this year at the Ralph. We've
- 31:24Speaker 3: got one more season, but I don't know how many.
- 31:26Speaker 3: It is either eight or nine games left minus preseason.
- 31:29Speaker 3: So I'm really excited. I think again, in my heart
- 31:34Speaker 3: of hearts, that we are the better team. We are
- 31:35Speaker 3: better than the Kansas City Chiefs. I'll say it one
- 31:38Speaker 3: more time so you hear me say. Oh, and like damn,
- 31:41Speaker 3: Rob is always the pessimist. Rob's the one that's always,
- 31:44Speaker 3: you know, trying to say be real. Listen, he's always
- 31:46Speaker 3: paying the lady at the front desk and listen, give
- 31:49Speaker 3: it her, Bill Maffia card. We are a better team
- 31:53Speaker 3: than that team that you saw play yesterday. They got
- 31:56Speaker 3: all those damn calls against the Texans. We are a
- 31:58Speaker 3: better football team than them. Back to go into Arrowhead,
