1:11
Speaker 2: six the show callect, Where's.
1:17
Speaker 1: Would you like to be? All right, let's get straight
1:21
Speaker 1: to it. Really excited for tonight's episode. As always, it's
1:26
Speaker 1: funny because I guess I could give some credit to
1:28
Speaker 1: Princess Ivy for coming through and kind of changing my perspective.
1:32
Speaker 1: I can definitely give some credit to our guys at
1:35
Speaker 1: the Finger Lakes. Shout out to Jared and Swank and
1:37
Speaker 1: all those guys the Twins for helping us out because
1:42
Speaker 1: earlier in the off season, I was like, you know what,
1:45
Speaker 1: it's interesting because I'm looking forward to this season, but
1:48
Speaker 1: I want to enjoy the season. I want to find
1:52
Speaker 1: a way to partake in the season. I don't want
1:55
Speaker 1: to find a way to kind of skip over everything
1:58
Speaker 1: and kind of move past what is right in front
2:01
Speaker 1: of me. And no better perspective than that when you
2:05
Speaker 1: have a newborn, because it kind of just kind of
2:07
Speaker 1: it kind of leaves everything, It kind of puts everything
2:11
Speaker 1: in perspective. Just to be honest, there's no way to
2:13
Speaker 1: sugarcoat it. I said I was gonna enjoy this twenty
2:16
Speaker 1: twenty four season. I have been enjoying this twenty twenty
2:19
Speaker 1: four season. The way I named the episode and the
2:23
Speaker 1: reason that I did was because the fact that we
2:24
Speaker 1: are getting ready for the home stretch. Joining me tonight
2:27
Speaker 1: as always my co host Adam dump Truck Rupsick Holliday
2:31
Speaker 1: on Instagram and Twitter at Adam Rupsick r. You p
2:35
Speaker 1: c Zyk Hollow at the Crew DT. I kept true
2:39
Speaker 1: to my word I said I was going to enjoy
2:41
Speaker 1: this season, Scouts honor. I'd enjoy this season. I have
2:45
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. It is time to get down to the
2:48
Speaker 1: nitty gritty.
2:49
Speaker 3: What what a one to enjoy? Rob, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays,
2:53
Speaker 3: Happy New Year, Nipple City, Rob, what's up? We're back
2:56
Speaker 3: it stay. It's still that good holiday spirit. The home
2:59
Speaker 3: stretch we were sitting, we were sitting in the row
3:02
Speaker 3: together for the opener not too long ago, not too
3:05
Speaker 3: long ago. Yeah, and now for the home stretch. And
3:08
Speaker 3: what a season has been to enjoy some great games,
3:11
Speaker 3: some great performances. You know, a lot of ups and
3:16
Speaker 3: not too many, not too many complaints this year. So well,
3:18
Speaker 3: let's let's dig into it.
3:20
Speaker 1: Let's dig into it. You know you're absolutely right, DT,
3:23
Speaker 1: because when you talk about it, dump Truck, you know,
3:26
Speaker 1: there has some been timoty lows. And you know I
3:29
Speaker 1: was on the record, and I've already been on the record,
3:31
Speaker 1: so I have no more confessions to make. It's not Usher.
3:34
Speaker 1: I'm not Usher, and I have no more confessions to make.
3:36
Speaker 1: I thought that everybody eats was a sham. I still
3:39
Speaker 1: do to a certain extent, but because of the fact
3:42
Speaker 1: that the way that the Bills have been playing now
3:44
Speaker 1: at what twelve and three DT. I mean that the
3:48
Speaker 1: record speaks for itself, the fact that the Bills have
3:52
Speaker 1: have kind of, you know, they've kind of just turned
3:54
Speaker 1: everything on its head in respects to Josh Allen leading
3:58
Speaker 1: this team. And I know that all the MVB talk
4:00
Speaker 1: and I don't want to talk about MVP tonight or
4:02
Speaker 1: anything like that, but I know that when I think
4:05
Speaker 1: about the Buffalo Bills and the twenty twenty four Buffalo Bills,
4:08
Speaker 1: I think about DT, how expectations have just been you know, exceeded.
4:13
Speaker 1: And we named an episode that way. We named an
4:16
Speaker 1: episode Recalibrate. It was time to recalibrate. After Brian Brandon
4:19
Speaker 1: Bean traded for Amari Cooper, we said that, hey, listen,
4:24
Speaker 1: we might want to reevaluate what we really think of
4:26
Speaker 1: this team. And that's why I gave the shout out
4:29
Speaker 1: to the Finger Lakes crew out there twenty four seven,
4:32
Speaker 1: the k Gun report, and then you know, Princess Ivy.
4:36
Speaker 1: It was just the fact that, listen, I have I
4:39
Speaker 1: have consumed the Bills this year, and I've kind of
4:42
Speaker 1: gained a new perspective on what is important and I
4:45
Speaker 1: know that the fact that Josh Allen is leading the crew,
4:49
Speaker 1: and you know, there's just it's just hard to just
4:52
Speaker 1: go against him. And he is he is my MVP.
4:55
Speaker 1: He may not be your MVP. I know he's not
4:57
Speaker 1: Baltimore's MVP, and that's fine because I'm focused on a
5:00
Speaker 1: different trophy. But I do know that he has been intricately,
5:06
Speaker 1: you know, a part of everything that's been going on
5:08
Speaker 1: in respects to the Buffalo Bills.
5:10
Speaker 3: The best Maybe maybe we'll talk the goat later on,
5:13
Speaker 3: but the important like how much we get pumped up
5:18
Speaker 3: for football season in the NFL and the Bills and
5:20
Speaker 3: the fandom short for fanatic. You say it all the time, Rob,
5:23
Speaker 3: you know the beauty of me, you know, moving to
5:25
Speaker 3: Buffalo and being able to actually be immersed in this
5:28
Speaker 3: is a dream come true every week. So it's hard
5:31
Speaker 3: not to enjoy it. And sometimes, you know, you look around,
5:34
Speaker 3: You're like, man, I'm a growing man and my life
5:36
Speaker 3: kind of hangs in the balance of this team all
5:40
Speaker 3: dudes basically younger than me, you know, is that a problem?
5:43
Speaker 3: And then you look around and it's not. It's not,
5:45
Speaker 3: at least in Buffalo, New York. It's not and proud
5:48
Speaker 3: to be here, proud to like and it's it's hard
5:49
Speaker 3: not to enjoy a season when there's this much hype
5:52
Speaker 3: and this much fandom behind a team that you know,
5:55
Speaker 3: it like we talk, feels a little different, a lot
5:57
Speaker 3: of work to do, but feels a little different.
5:59
Speaker 1: This year.
6:00
Speaker 3: It's a good place to be.
6:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great place to be, you know, because
6:04
Speaker 1: of the fact that, like when I talk about it,
6:07
Speaker 1: and you know, and I was nervous about Stefan Diggs,
6:10
Speaker 1: you know, number fourteen leaving the bills and how that
6:13
Speaker 1: was going to affect the offense. And we went back
6:15
Speaker 1: through some of the old episodes and I went back
6:18
Speaker 1: through today personally listen to some of the episodes. But
6:22
Speaker 1: the fact that, you know, not only has Josh Allen elevated,
6:26
Speaker 1: which we joked about, you were with me that night
6:29
Speaker 1: one of those guys from the Finger Lakes, Jared and
6:33
Speaker 1: Scott and all those guys swank. You know, it's not
6:36
Speaker 1: only the fact that he has elevated to play, but
6:38
Speaker 1: the fact that he has been like the catalyst, like
6:41
Speaker 1: he has been the reason why we are winning some
6:44
Speaker 1: of these games, and like it's tough for me DT
6:47
Speaker 1: to kind of disregard that because of the fact that
6:50
Speaker 1: you know, like, what do you want from a franchise quarterback.
6:53
Speaker 1: You want him to be consistent, You want him to
6:55
Speaker 1: be available, like you want him to be there every
6:58
Speaker 1: week and ready to play. And then in addition to that,
7:01
Speaker 1: you want him to be able to show that he
7:03
Speaker 1: has everything under control. Josh Allen has not only has
7:09
Speaker 1: he shown him that he's everything under control DT, but
7:11
Speaker 1: he's actually shown that he is ready for the moment.
7:14
Speaker 1: He's ready to meet the moment right where it is.
7:17
Speaker 1: And I don't know, Man, twelve and five, it's just
7:20
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to poke holes at what he
7:23
Speaker 1: has been because of the fact that I know what
7:26
Speaker 1: I expected of this year I said ten and seven,
7:29
Speaker 1: and then to think that we have four less losses.
7:32
Speaker 1: It's just it really is amazing, to be honest with you, man,
7:36
Speaker 1: it really is amazing.
7:37
Speaker 3: It's consistency at best since year three. You know, with
7:40
Speaker 3: one seven this has been what we get.
7:42
Speaker 1: Rob.
7:43
Speaker 3: It's not a coincidence anymore. It's firm. It's there, and
7:47
Speaker 3: there's debates of the greats and whatever, but there's no
7:51
Speaker 3: way one seven doesn't get one. That's why I'm confident
7:53
Speaker 3: and feel good, like there's no way he doesn't get one.
7:55
Speaker 3: He's too good. He's not a Philip Rivers, he's not
7:57
Speaker 3: a Drew Brees. He's straight up seven. And there's only
8:01
Speaker 3: one of them, and they'll ever only be one of them.
8:03
Speaker 3: It's addicting to watch. So I'm I mean, it's not
8:06
Speaker 3: to get to you know, sound too home, Homer. That's
8:11
Speaker 3: that's the whole league. That's why he's a world superstar
8:13
Speaker 3: because it's not just buffalo. We're pleasure to call him
8:17
Speaker 3: are ours, but the world loves this guy too, because
8:20
Speaker 3: it's you're never gonna see another one seven and it
8:22
Speaker 3: consistency at its best. This is what he does every year.
8:25
Speaker 3: He just keeps getting better. And like you talk about
8:27
Speaker 3: being in a prime, like he had the growing pains.
8:31
Speaker 3: Now this is his rookie year of it being his team.
8:34
Speaker 3: So this is the start of his prime. You know,
8:36
Speaker 3: give me four or five years of this. Okay, I
8:41
Speaker 3: love it. Okay, yeah, I'll sign up for it. You know,
8:45
Speaker 3: it's it's just interesting.
8:46
Speaker 1: I've got so many things running through my head tonight,
8:48
Speaker 1: and I already sent you over the pre show notes
8:50
Speaker 1: about tonight's episode and I'm just I'm just really excited, man,
8:54
Speaker 1: I just I That's what I meant by that. Like
8:57
Speaker 1: I dedicated myself to really honestly, because I didn't have
9:01
Speaker 1: the season ticket, so Princess Ivy was on her way.
9:03
Speaker 1: I didn't know when she was coming, and she came.
9:06
Speaker 1: And because of the fact that she came, you know,
9:09
Speaker 1: I didn't have the season tickets this year. So you
9:11
Speaker 1: and I got together for the Arizona game for the
9:13
Speaker 1: home opener, and then after that, like I knew I
9:15
Speaker 1: was gonna be here in Charlotte consuming the Bills, and like,
9:18
Speaker 1: I wanted to find a way to just tap into
9:21
Speaker 1: the team. I wanted to find a way to be
9:24
Speaker 1: excited about the team week to week. It's different. And
9:28
Speaker 1: those guys from finger Legs, those guys Scott Jared, like
9:31
Speaker 1: they're all right about that, you know, Nichol City Crew, Like, listen,
9:36
Speaker 1: they are right about that. Listen the k Gun Report,
9:39
Speaker 1: they're right about that. You can definitely gloss over a
9:42
Speaker 1: season and I can, and I'm listen, I raised my hand.
9:46
Speaker 1: I used to be that man. I used to be
9:49
Speaker 1: that Bills fan where I gloss over the season. Just
9:51
Speaker 1: get me to the playoffs. I don't care about anything else.
9:55
Speaker 1: Nothing else matters this and that, And I took the
9:58
Speaker 1: time this year to make sure that I was tuned
10:00
Speaker 1: into the team. I was plugged into the team because
10:03
Speaker 1: of the fact that, you know, it was important to
10:05
Speaker 1: me to make sure that I consumed it the right way.
10:08
Speaker 1: And part of consuming the right way DT is the
10:10
Speaker 1: fact that throughout the regular season we had no idea
10:14
Speaker 1: what was going to happen with this Bill's offense, with
10:17
Speaker 1: the Bills defense. We did our annual offensive preview, our
10:21
Speaker 1: annual defensive preview, and when it came down to it,
10:25
Speaker 1: I just thought that it was very important for me
10:29
Speaker 1: to just make sure that I stayed tapped into the
10:31
Speaker 1: team because of the fact that, you know what, you
10:34
Speaker 1: never know what's going to happen. You don't know how
10:36
Speaker 1: many more years that you're going to get of this.
10:38
Speaker 1: And then we watch a Josh Allen performance where he
10:40
Speaker 1: breaks his hand right in front of our faces as
10:43
Speaker 1: he jumps over a Buddha baker. They hide it all
10:45
Speaker 1: year long, and I know that they reported on the
10:48
Speaker 1: on the injury report as a left hand injury, but
10:50
Speaker 1: we knew you and I knew that he broke his hand.
10:53
Speaker 1: We knew something was wrong, especially we didn't put on
10:55
Speaker 1: that glove, and like to hear the report this week
10:59
Speaker 1: that his hand was will you were like I saw that.
11:01
Speaker 1: I was like d T and I already knew, like
11:04
Speaker 1: we were already talking about that earlier in the year,
11:06
Speaker 1: like we were together on that home opener. Man, I
11:09
Speaker 1: just wanted to consume this year and absorb it all
11:13
Speaker 1: because I don't know how many years of Josh Allen's
11:15
Speaker 1: prime that we get, but I definitely want to savor
11:18
Speaker 1: it because we're looking at the m VP of the league,
11:20
Speaker 1: regardless of Lamar Jackson gets it or not.
11:25
Speaker 3: I mean, let's hope it's not the right hand, you know,
11:28
Speaker 3: after last Let's hope it's not the right hand and
11:32
Speaker 3: funny bone and what what the hell ever whatever it was,
11:35
Speaker 3: but we're moving on there. And yeah, the gloved up,
11:38
Speaker 3: gloved up Josh Allen, you know, it's it's it's who
11:43
Speaker 3: was uh who was saying at barbershop? Mike, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Mark.
11:50
Speaker 3: One more game with the globe, one more game with
11:52
Speaker 3: the glove. It's gonna be different. It's I can't wait.
11:57
Speaker 3: Let's buckle in and what's our path, Baby once our path.
12:01
Speaker 1: Well, the reason I named the episode the way that
12:04
Speaker 1: I did tonight, DT, You're absolutely right, is the path
12:06
Speaker 1: to New Orleans because Super Bowl fifty nine will be
12:08
Speaker 1: taking place in New Orleans in the Superdome. I know
12:12
Speaker 1: they don't call the Superdome anymore, and I don't care,
12:14
Speaker 1: but no problem. The super Bowl fifty nine will be
12:17
Speaker 1: taking place in New Orleans. And one of the things
12:20
Speaker 1: that I wanted to get to tonight was just kind
12:23
Speaker 1: of talking about the Bills and talking about how their
12:26
Speaker 1: path is laid ahead of them. DT, and the Bills
12:29
Speaker 1: are locked into the number two seed Nickel City Crew,
12:32
Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia with a win this Sunday or a win
12:36
Speaker 1: next Sunday. So as you look ahead and you look
12:38
Speaker 1: at their path to super Bowl fifty nine in New Orleans,
12:41
Speaker 1: We've got the Chargers, We've got Denver, We've got Indie, Miami,
12:50
Speaker 1: and then Cincinnati, now Pittsburgh. I put it on this
12:54
Speaker 1: handle for a reason because Pittsburgh is on the outside chance.
12:58
Speaker 1: There's a chance Pittsburgh loses the Vision to Baltimore and
13:01
Speaker 1: then they would wind up as a seventh seed. But
13:03
Speaker 1: for those over the five teams, DT I wanted to
13:06
Speaker 1: talk about who is most likely to come to the Ralph,
13:09
Speaker 1: how do you feel about that matchup? And I wanted
13:12
Speaker 1: to go through it with you because of the fact
13:13
Speaker 1: that not only did I, you know, eat my vegetables
13:17
Speaker 1: and make sure that I was enjoying the season as
13:19
Speaker 1: it was going along. And again I give shout out
13:22
Speaker 1: to Princess Ivy for that and helping me maintain that
13:25
Speaker 1: as I'm not a season ticket holder this particular year, DT,
13:30
Speaker 1: the Chargers, Denver, the Colts, Miami, possibly the Bengals. What what?
13:37
Speaker 1: What team could you possibly see coming here to the Ralph.
13:41
Speaker 1: It seems like it's a situation DT where it's most
13:46
Speaker 1: likely the Chargers, it's most likely Denver. But but we've
13:49
Speaker 1: got a couple of curveballs thrown in there.
13:51
Speaker 3: Sure, I mean the Colts, Dolphins, and Bengals in that
13:55
Speaker 3: in that hunt. But it's it's a long hunt, right.
13:59
Speaker 3: You got Denver having to play since he had to
14:02
Speaker 3: head tomorrow. That's a hell of a game. And then
14:07
Speaker 3: Chargers have a couple couple of slim ones I think
14:09
Speaker 3: what they got Patriots this week and then Raiders yep,
14:13
Speaker 3: maybe so got to count them as wins, couldn't you know,
14:18
Speaker 3: And then all Denver has to do is win one.
14:21
Speaker 3: They either beat Cincinnati or they got to play. They're
14:24
Speaker 3: playing the backups, probably in Kansas City next week, but
14:28
Speaker 3: maybe not because they get the week off, so maybe
14:31
Speaker 3: they play the first half is you.
14:33
Speaker 1: Know, and Carson wentz out there.
14:40
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, So most so then it's going to be
14:43
Speaker 3: Denver in the seven Chargers and the six that's the
14:45
Speaker 3: most likely Pittsburgh five. I mean, what we're rooting for
14:50
Speaker 3: heavily would be Baltimore to lose next week and Pittsburgh
14:55
Speaker 3: to win, and then Pittsburgh goes to the three balls
15:00
Speaker 3: more to the five. So obviously that's the next pet.
15:03
Speaker 3: We'll get into that as we go, but I think
15:05
Speaker 3: most likely gonna be the Broncos. See bon Nicks come
15:09
Speaker 3: here Wildcard weekend, you know, see what we can do. Cincinnati, Like,
15:14
Speaker 3: I'm sick of people bitching about it. To be Honestati,
15:20
Speaker 3: I'm scared of Cincinnati, Like, okay, I'm not.
15:24
Speaker 1: Their offense is good.
15:27
Speaker 3: You know, the Lions offense was good. The Rams offense
15:29
Speaker 3: was good, and obviously, but you know, the Rams defense
15:33
Speaker 3: and the Lions defense wasn't good and the Bengals might
15:35
Speaker 3: have the worst d in the league straight up. So
15:39
Speaker 3: so I mean one seven in the playoffs, he owes
15:42
Speaker 3: us one from the last Cincy game, and I'm not scared.
15:46
Speaker 1: I'm not scared.
15:47
Speaker 3: I'm not saying please give me them, but I'm not.
15:50
Speaker 3: All week they're gonna get in and beat us like nah,
15:54
Speaker 3: like this, that's what pisses me off. We are watching
15:56
Speaker 3: one seven all year, go god mode, go Superman mode,
16:00
Speaker 3: go everything mode, long hair, gets engage, whatever, and you're
16:04
Speaker 3: gonna be worried about the bitch ass seven and eight
16:06
Speaker 3: Bengals Like that pissed me off this week. People worrying
16:09
Speaker 3: about that. It's very unlikely because even if they win,
16:13
Speaker 3: the next two Colts in Colts and Dolphins have to
16:18
Speaker 3: go one in one two, so it's too much of
16:21
Speaker 3: a toss up for them. But I'm not like chill
16:23
Speaker 3: out Mafia, chill out Nickels City Crew. If you're worried
16:25
Speaker 3: about the bitch ass bengalsas begels.
16:29
Speaker 1: Is funny because I've been watching them on The Hard Knocks,
16:33
Speaker 1: the nd season edition, and I've kind of fallen in
16:36
Speaker 1: love again with Mike Tomlin. I know that Mike Thomlin
16:39
Speaker 1: punts a lot, you know what I mean, But like,
16:40
Speaker 1: I love how he talks to his team and I'm like,
16:42
Speaker 1: oh my god. And then I look at you know,
16:45
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor, and I'm like, man, I don't know if
16:47
Speaker 1: he's got the team. I don't know if he's got
16:48
Speaker 1: the room. I know that they've been winning in different
16:51
Speaker 1: things like that. But one of the things that from
16:52
Speaker 1: this last episode that like impressed me the most was,
16:55
Speaker 1: honestly what you talked about the bitch ass Begels was
16:58
Speaker 1: that Joe Burrow is control. He's in control of the offense.
17:02
Speaker 1: He's in control of everything that goes on offensively for
17:05
Speaker 1: that team. And yes, I am scared. I can raise
17:08
Speaker 1: my hand and say that I'm scared to see them.
17:10
Speaker 1: I don't want to see them. So as we move forward, DT,
17:13
Speaker 1: it's interesting because should we rest this week? You know,
17:18
Speaker 1: because one of the things that I thought about when
17:20
Speaker 1: I look at it and I look at the matchups
17:22
Speaker 1: and different things like that and the possibilities is that,
17:25
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know necessarily if it's worth it
17:29
Speaker 1: for us to go for the number two seed in
17:32
Speaker 1: respects to the fact that I don't want anybody to
17:34
Speaker 1: get injured. Now again, football is a game of attrition.
17:38
Speaker 1: It's a game of gladiators bumping up against each other
17:41
Speaker 1: and colliding with each other each and every week. Obviously,
17:44
Speaker 1: we can't foresee any type of injuries, but I don't
17:48
Speaker 1: necessarily want us to go all out excuse me for
17:52
Speaker 1: that actual number two seed, because of the fact that
17:55
Speaker 1: I don't want anybody to be hurt DT. I don't
17:57
Speaker 1: want anybody to be under any type of pressure in
18:01
Speaker 1: respects to trying to win something where we don't have
18:04
Speaker 1: the number one seed. We're still going to have to
18:06
Speaker 1: play on wildcard weekend regardless, and I just don't know
18:10
Speaker 1: what it's really worth. And I wanted to get your
18:12
Speaker 1: opinion on it because I think that personally, we should
18:15
Speaker 1: go ahead and rest everybody Week eighteen, go out beat
18:18
Speaker 1: the Jets, beat Aaron Rodgerson. No, he's going for touchdown
18:21
Speaker 1: number five hundred this week, and he's got all that
18:24
Speaker 1: type of stuff. And we heard all the reports we
18:26
Speaker 1: talked about it last week about how Woody Johnson's got
18:29
Speaker 1: his own sons, you know, making calls based on madd
18:33
Speaker 1: and all the other dumb shit. Listen, I would like
18:36
Speaker 1: for us to rest as much as possible, because I
18:38
Speaker 1: think that it's going to be beneficial to us down
18:41
Speaker 1: the road if we need some type of reprieve, if
18:45
Speaker 1: we need some type of rest before the actual playoffs kickoff.
18:49
Speaker 3: You got to earn the rest as the last week.
18:51
Speaker 3: The Chiefs just did it to get that bye week
18:54
Speaker 3: in the playoffs what we were shooting for and didn't
18:56
Speaker 3: get it. So the next best thing we can do
18:59
Speaker 3: is earn the rest next week in week eighteen by
19:01
Speaker 3: winning this week. So, you know, you say, what is
19:04
Speaker 3: it worth? I think it's worth a few things like
19:07
Speaker 3: the if you if we're worried about people getting hurt,
19:10
Speaker 3: I mean, technically this is the other side of the spectrum,
19:12
Speaker 3: but we should have then rested people when we clinched
19:14
Speaker 3: the division back on Thanksgiving. You know, right, we're for
19:18
Speaker 3: the number one Seedn't there still true?
19:21
Speaker 1: True?
19:21
Speaker 3: And it's still in the same situation though of we
19:23
Speaker 3: still got to play. So the fact of coming back,
19:28
Speaker 3: getting this dub secure in the two and then using
19:30
Speaker 3: week eighteen as that bye week as if you were
19:32
Speaker 3: the one seed. Yes, and you know, why wouldn't you
19:36
Speaker 3: rather play at home? Because your other alternative you're still
19:40
Speaker 3: it's it's gonna be Missouri or it's gonna be Baltimore.
19:43
Speaker 3: It's not like warm weather climates. You're not going to
19:45
Speaker 3: a dome, you know, on that game, So why not
19:48
Speaker 3: play them at home?
19:49
Speaker 1: Uh?
19:49
Speaker 3: To get that get those two games if you can
19:52
Speaker 3: the wild card in the Divisional So I think it's
19:54
Speaker 3: worth the two go at it hard and then be
19:56
Speaker 3: on the ramp up for playoffs. You don't want to
19:58
Speaker 3: you don't want to talk last week. We don't want
20:00
Speaker 3: this team to cool down at all. We saw a
20:02
Speaker 3: little cool down against the Patriots, but then kind of
20:04
Speaker 3: got it back going again and there were spurts. You know,
20:06
Speaker 3: it wasn't dead by any means, but I think being
20:10
Speaker 3: able to come out here last week was a little shaky.
20:13
Speaker 3: Come out here and just break beat the brakes off.
20:15
Speaker 3: These dudes sit the fourth quarter, you're chilling Week eighteen,
20:19
Speaker 3: and then that's why week to get into the playoffs.
20:21
Speaker 3: So you're still on that ramp up as opposed to
20:23
Speaker 3: like a couple of weeks off after kind of a
20:25
Speaker 3: shaky game. Wild Card was still a little blad like
20:28
Speaker 3: have that competitive edge, taste, that victory taste, that dominance
20:31
Speaker 3: one more time before you rest for the playoffs.
20:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of like that theory because of the
20:36
Speaker 1: fact that, like you're talking about just keeping everything, keeping
20:39
Speaker 1: the engines hot, you know, keeping everything moving and keeping
20:42
Speaker 1: everything kind of going. So I'm kind of with you
20:44
Speaker 1: on that in that respect. You know, it's funny because
20:47
Speaker 1: you know, I wanted to go for the number one
20:49
Speaker 1: seed and then obviously the number two seeds just in
20:51
Speaker 1: case Casey fucks up because of the fact that I'm
20:54
Speaker 1: not completely confident now. I heard on WGR this week
20:57
Speaker 1: DT they talked about how the fact that they're getting
21:01
Speaker 1: healthier and they're getting better and Hollywood Brown's back and
21:05
Speaker 1: it looks like Xavier Worthy as their number one wide
21:07
Speaker 1: receiver and he's getting a bunch of targets. And you know,
21:10
Speaker 1: I've already put that edict on Brandon Bean that I
21:12
Speaker 1: didn't care that you traded back for Kean Coleman. Just
21:14
Speaker 1: don't let Xavier Worthy haunt us. Like that was my
21:18
Speaker 1: only edict to Brandon Bean. So I can I can
21:20
Speaker 1: definitely understand that and definitely give you some credence in
21:23
Speaker 1: that respect. The fact that you know, I don't want
21:27
Speaker 1: necessarily for us to coast to the playoffs. But I
21:30
Speaker 1: definitely want to make sure that health is is. I
21:33
Speaker 1: want to make sure that it's the prime focus. How
21:35
Speaker 1: about that. I want to make sure that there's anybody
21:37
Speaker 1: nicked up Rasuell Douglas or whether it be Damar Hamlin
21:41
Speaker 1: or whoever the case may be, you know, Taylor Rapp.
21:43
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that these guys are primed,
21:46
Speaker 1: they're focused, they're ready health wise for that prime run.
21:49
Speaker 1: Because the fact that I want to get on that
21:51
Speaker 1: path to New Orleans, I think that this team is
21:53
Speaker 1: good enough to do it. I did not think that
21:55
Speaker 1: back in the summer. But obviously, again we talked about
21:58
Speaker 1: a DT. The fact that this season has shaped out
22:01
Speaker 1: the way that it has, I don't think that there's
22:04
Speaker 1: anything in the way of this Buffalo Bills team getting
22:07
Speaker 1: to super Bowl fifty nine and representing the conference. And
22:09
Speaker 1: because of that, I would say rest your guys as
22:12
Speaker 1: much as possible, make sure that you're in a situation
22:15
Speaker 1: where everybody is firing on all cylinders because of the
22:20
Speaker 1: fact that you just don't know. It's a game of attrition,
22:23
Speaker 1: you just don't know. I'm seeing guys on ESPN today
22:26
Speaker 1: talking about haul all of their different players going on
22:30
Speaker 1: IR and Ceedee Lamb's out and Kenny Walker is out
22:33
Speaker 1: and all this other stuff. I would like for our
22:36
Speaker 1: guys to be healthy as possible going into the playoffs.
22:39
Speaker 1: And if that means sitting everybody for Week eighteen, I
22:42
Speaker 1: understand you can't sit literally everyone, but I understand that
22:45
Speaker 1: you definitely consider a bunch of the guys. Let's focus
22:49
Speaker 1: on what's important at this point, because the number one
22:51
Speaker 1: seed is out of the cards. Let's focus on keeping
22:54
Speaker 1: everybody as healthy as possible just in case case fucks up.
22:59
Speaker 1: If they fuck up, you get a chance to host
23:01
Speaker 1: for the AFC Championship game.
23:04
Speaker 3: And why not take them all at home?
23:06
Speaker 1: Why not? I mean, I don't like that our home
23:09
Speaker 1: field advantage, but I've already talked to you about that
23:12
Speaker 1: pre show. Now, as we transition tonight, important that we note.
23:23
Speaker 1: You know, the way that we have talked about the
23:27
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and the way that we have always talked
23:30
Speaker 1: about them heading into the playoffs has always led back
23:33
Speaker 1: to one thing DT and it's one thing that has
23:36
Speaker 1: constantly stayed on my mind. Sean McDermott's defenses against playoff
23:42
Speaker 1: opponents has been much to be desired. I guess I
23:47
Speaker 1: can lay it out that like that, to be completely
23:50
Speaker 1: honest and to be completely frank with you and to
23:53
Speaker 1: be completely open with you. The Bills in the playoffs
23:56
Speaker 1: have been a mixed bag Defensively, I understand that Sean
24:00
Speaker 1: McDermott is a defensive coach. I understand that he is
24:05
Speaker 1: the head of this defense. Obviously Bobby Babbage is calling
24:07
Speaker 1: it now. It used to be Leslie Frazier, and then
24:09
Speaker 1: obviously Sean McDermott himself called the defense in that intermi year. Listen, DT,
24:15
Speaker 1: before we get down to the nitty gritty in respects
24:17
Speaker 1: to the opponents and how we have fared, how do
24:21
Speaker 1: you feel about Sean mcdermot's defense. We talked about a
24:24
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, just the fact that, hey, he
24:27
Speaker 1: gave up a bunch of points to the Rams, he
24:29
Speaker 1: gave a bunch of points to the Lions. We're looking
24:31
Speaker 1: at some of the best teams in the NFC. He's
24:33
Speaker 1: given up points third down defense. I talked about it
24:37
Speaker 1: on this show DT weeks ago. How listen, they don't
24:42
Speaker 1: get off the field on third downs, and I'm like,
24:45
Speaker 1: you know, that's my main concern. I talked about it
24:47
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Now everybody on WGR everybody's picking up on it,
24:51
Speaker 1: talking about it. DT, speak to me before we get
24:54
Speaker 1: into the opponents and some of the things that we
24:55
Speaker 1: have gone through in our past, how important it is
24:58
Speaker 1: for Sean mcdermot's defense to show up, because, to be
25:01
Speaker 1: quite frank with the DT, Josh Allen has always shown
25:05
Speaker 1: up in the playoffs. Sean mcdermot's defense, has defense, excuse me,
25:10
Speaker 1: have not. They have not always shown up in the playoffs.
25:13
Speaker 1: They really haven't.
25:14
Speaker 3: So going through you have AFC Championship game, how how
25:20
Speaker 3: was that defense? Obviously didn't do the job, but you know,
25:24
Speaker 3: some other woes. Then next year's thirteen seconds defense was late.
25:30
Speaker 1: We can go we can go back. We could go
25:32
Speaker 1: back even before that, we can go back to Kyle Brant.
25:36
Speaker 1: Kyle Brank coined the phrase sugar high. Josh, yeah, you
25:40
Speaker 1: and you know what I mean if you you know, blew.
25:42
Speaker 3: The sixteen nothing he only let up nine against the Jaguars,
25:47
Speaker 3: though he.
25:48
Speaker 1: Did, but he did. You're right, asshole, You're right.
25:57
Speaker 3: The Bengals, Bengals, and then well, I mean, you've.
26:01
Speaker 1: Got you've got Indie, You've got Indie after after the
26:05
Speaker 1: Sugar Sugar High Josh game. You've got Indie, that's old
26:08
Speaker 1: s Philip Rivers.
26:09
Speaker 3: Then you had a great game against Baltimore.
26:12
Speaker 1: That you have, you know, Tarren Johnson, six thousand people
26:15
Speaker 1: in the stands COVID, You've got that. And then you've
26:17
Speaker 1: got the AFC Championship game where McDermott wants to kick
26:20
Speaker 1: field goals. He talks to you after the game talking
26:22
Speaker 1: about it. He was trying to give his guys a juice.
26:23
Speaker 1: We've already talked about that at nauseum. Then you've got
26:26
Speaker 1: perfection in the park yep. You've got thirteen seconds yep.
26:33
Speaker 1: And then after that to end that year, I mean,
26:36
Speaker 1: his defense wasn't ready that day. And then you've got Miami.
26:39
Speaker 1: I think that his name was Skuyler Thompson. That was
26:45
Speaker 1: a bunch of points.
26:46
Speaker 3: Again, so as much as you say, you know the opposite,
26:50
Speaker 3: what he needs then is a breakout. He needs a
26:52
Speaker 3: magnum opis. He needs he needs the Miami Week four
26:56
Speaker 3: last year. So that was manum opis for us.
27:00
Speaker 1: Admitted it.
27:00
Speaker 3: I admitted it. And then now that's so that's what
27:03
Speaker 3: he needs. We need to find that in the playoffs,
27:05
Speaker 3: and hopefully this is the year to do it when
27:07
Speaker 3: you know we're we're facing that had the head and
27:09
Speaker 3: he comes out with some with something wild. But all
27:12
Speaker 3: year we kind of criticized them for being a little
27:15
Speaker 3: too soft in the start, and then how are we
27:18
Speaker 3: gonna make a comeback if it's you know, if it's
27:20
Speaker 3: too late. That was kind of the scenario in the
27:21
Speaker 3: beginning of the year. Then the middle of the year
27:23
Speaker 3: it was the same vibe where teams looked like they
27:26
Speaker 3: were gashing us a little bit, but they really weren't.
27:28
Speaker 3: And then second half comes, we put the screws down
27:32
Speaker 3: and finished out games right. And then now end of
27:35
Speaker 3: the year, it's our offense is hot, our defense. It
27:39
Speaker 3: doesn't really matter because our offense is hot, but our
27:41
Speaker 3: defense is letting up a lot of points. And then
27:43
Speaker 3: even against a rookie quarterback last week at home, you know,
27:47
Speaker 3: there are some opportunities they probably should have got off
27:49
Speaker 3: the field on third down, just like you know, Josh
27:51
Speaker 3: takes that hit late in the game. You know, Josh's
27:53
Speaker 3: hand didn't happen in the first quarter, and it would
27:56
Speaker 3: have been really nice, obviously to be ahead later in
27:59
Speaker 3: that game. So I agreed, like he needs the magnum
28:01
Speaker 3: opus into the defense of having that breakout playoff, you know, intensity,
28:07
Speaker 3: and even against them, even in those wild cards. I
28:10
Speaker 3: get your point there because looking back, even in those
28:12
Speaker 3: wild card games that we won, he still wasn't great
28:16
Speaker 3: on teams, you know, on some bumb ass quarterbacks that
28:18
Speaker 3: we should have blown out of war last year, you
28:20
Speaker 3: know what we did with Mason Rudolph. But you know
28:22
Speaker 3: the Yeah, Skyler Thompson is the best example, Like, there's
28:25
Speaker 3: no reason that game should have been We were survived.
28:28
Speaker 3: We were saying surviving advance. You don't say surviving advance
28:31
Speaker 3: when you blow the doors off somebody.
28:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're absolutely right. It's funny that you could admit
28:35
Speaker 1: that because you know you're being honest, and I can
28:38
Speaker 1: respect your honesty because after perfection in the park, perfection
28:41
Speaker 1: in the park is the impetus of Nicol City crew.
28:44
Speaker 1: I hooked up with you a couple weeks later afterwards
28:47
Speaker 1: because of the fact that like that was the obvious
28:49
Speaker 1: you know, that was that was our generations fifty one
28:52
Speaker 1: to three. You know again, what did I talk about?
28:54
Speaker 1: I was five, six, seven and eight for the Super
28:56
Speaker 1: Bowl run. What do I want to be. I want
28:57
Speaker 1: to be an adult to enjoy and partake in the
29:01
Speaker 1: Super Bowl festivities. I couldn't enjoy that because I was five, six,
29:04
Speaker 1: seven and eight. So on Super Bowl twenty five, I
29:07
Speaker 1: was five years old and fifty one to three is
29:10
Speaker 1: a party, and everybody talks about it on WGR where
29:12
Speaker 1: they call it on those nostalgic shows, about how it
29:15
Speaker 1: was a party that night. Perfection in the Park was
29:17
Speaker 1: our own Generations party. I was there. I started Nichol
29:22
Speaker 1: City Crew a week before that episode Minus five degrees.
29:26
Speaker 1: If you guys look back in the archives, like that
29:28
Speaker 1: was literally our that was our Generations fifty one three.
29:31
Speaker 1: We didn't know it was getting ready to happen. And
29:33
Speaker 1: then you followed up with thirteen seconds and it was like, man,
29:38
Speaker 1: this is a defensive coach and this is what we
29:41
Speaker 1: really needed and we really needed to stop. And then
29:44
Speaker 1: we've got Patrick Mahomes embarrassing us on national TV talking
29:48
Speaker 1: to Kelsey talking about do it, do it, do it,
29:50
Speaker 1: and then they passed the ball and he'd like, why
29:53
Speaker 1: are you playing this off coverage? And then we carry
29:56
Speaker 1: that over and you and I have already talked about
29:58
Speaker 1: this DT because we carry over to skylet times and
30:01
Speaker 1: after we get past that, then at Cincinnati and it's like,
30:04
Speaker 1: why are you playing this off coverage Leslie Fraser? And
30:08
Speaker 1: half the mafia wants to blame Leslie Fraser. The other
30:11
Speaker 1: half of the mafia wants to blame you know, Sean McDermott.
30:14
Speaker 1: And I'm like, why are we playing like this? Like
30:18
Speaker 1: this is the biggest game up to the point of
30:21
Speaker 1: that season, why are we playing this way? And then
30:25
Speaker 1: last year you're absolutely right talking about Mason Rudolph. And
30:28
Speaker 1: then you've got Kansas City where you and I were
30:30
Speaker 1: sitting next to each other. We went to breakfast, we
30:34
Speaker 1: shot up the turkey like Barry Bond's steroid style, and
30:37
Speaker 1: then we cook up the turkey. And we're there and
30:40
Speaker 1: we're looking at the game like eight explosive plays, like
30:44
Speaker 1: you have eight plays one hundred and sixty yards worth
30:48
Speaker 1: of offense on our defense. Like to me, Sean McDermott
30:54
Speaker 1: is man. He just he leaves so much to be desired,
31:00
Speaker 1: where I sound like an idiot, or I sound like
31:04
Speaker 1: a crazy person calling for a Ben Johnson or calling
31:07
Speaker 1: for somebody offensive to come along with Josh Allen take
31:11
Speaker 1: him by the hand and they go off into the sunset, because,
31:14
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Sean McDermott is not Rex Ryan. Oh
31:17
Speaker 1: my gosh, Sean McDermott is not Dick Jaron. I don't
31:20
Speaker 1: give a shit about that anymore. You have already elevated
31:23
Speaker 1: past that point where now I need you to show
31:26
Speaker 1: what you have on your side of the ball. And
31:29
Speaker 1: I understand that Bobby Babbage is his defensive coordinator. I
31:31
Speaker 1: understand that he doesn't call the plays, but I do
31:34
Speaker 1: need you to run your side of the ball when
31:37
Speaker 1: it's not crunching time like this is it? We're getting ready?
31:41
Speaker 1: Who cares about the Jets game? Who cares about the
31:44
Speaker 1: Pats game? We win one of them, we're locked into
31:46
Speaker 1: the two seat. I need your defense to show up
31:49
Speaker 1: when it counts most, whether that's the Denver or the
31:52
Speaker 1: Chargers first round, whether that's Baltimore or whoever in the
31:57
Speaker 1: second round, and whether that's Casey or Baltimore were in
32:00
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game. I need your defense to show up,
32:04
Speaker 1: and they just haven't DT And I find it hard
32:09
Speaker 1: for me to give him those escape routes. How about that,
32:12
Speaker 1: I find it hard for me to give him those
32:13
Speaker 1: exit rams because I just don't think he's worthy.
32:16
Speaker 3: Okay, well, Josh Allen is a cheat code for offense,
32:19
Speaker 3: but he's also a cheat code for defense because explain it.
32:23
Speaker 3: So Sean McDermott now doesn't have to. He does need
32:27
Speaker 3: to improve because there's games Josh Allen has balled out
32:30
Speaker 3: and we've lost the game because of the defense. So
32:32
Speaker 3: he needs to improve, but he doesn't have to go
32:35
Speaker 3: all the way down the spectrum for us to think
32:37
Speaker 3: he's successful. He just has to do enough to vote
32:40
Speaker 3: one seven to do his greatness. So Josh Allen is
32:43
Speaker 3: the weapon for him because his defense doesn't even have
32:46
Speaker 3: to be that good. It just has to be good enough.
32:49
Speaker 3: And it hasn't been good enough when Josh has been
32:51
Speaker 3: playing balls out, so it has to get a little
32:53
Speaker 3: better to expect Josh Allen. We just talked about his
32:56
Speaker 3: consistency all all night tonight. The consistency this it's not
33:00
Speaker 3: a coincidence anymore. In the playoffs, it's the same thing,
33:02
Speaker 3: and it's not gonna be a coincidence. He's gonna ball
33:04
Speaker 3: out again this year and I'm confident on that.
33:07
Speaker 1: So he just has to be good enough.
33:09
Speaker 3: So Josh Allen is also his secret weapon because he
33:11
Speaker 3: doesn't have to go all the way back down the
33:13
Speaker 3: spectrum to impress you or me, definitely you. He's gotta
33:16
Speaker 3: impress you the most, but he doesn't have to go
33:19
Speaker 3: all the way down that spectrum, you know, to impress us.
33:21
Speaker 3: He just has to be good enough and he hasn't,
33:23
Speaker 3: which is critical and we can be critical of him,
33:26
Speaker 3: but that's like, so that's encouraging to the Mafia and
33:29
Speaker 3: encouraging to you, Rob, Like he can get there because
33:31
Speaker 3: he doesn't.
33:32
Speaker 1: Have to go that far. DT trying to butter me
33:36
Speaker 1: up before the playoffs as we transition tonight. Tonight's episode
33:41
Speaker 1: presented by twenty six Shirts here on Buffalo fan Base,
33:45
Speaker 1: the official Bills Mafia podcast network that DT and I
33:49
Speaker 1: simulcast on. Head on over to twenty six shirts dot com.
33:52
Speaker 1: Salute to the Godfather Del Reid. Listen, he's running a
33:56
Speaker 1: great site over there. They've got plenty in of great
34:00
Speaker 1: content creators that are coming up with cool T shirt
34:03
Speaker 1: designs for Buffalo Sabers, Buffalo Bills, Buffalo City themed t shirts. Again,
34:09
Speaker 1: portions of your proceeds will go and positively affect a
34:13
Speaker 1: family that is in need. Somebody that needs your help
34:15
Speaker 1: will get your help by your purchase. Again, portions of
34:18
Speaker 1: the proceeds go to a positive effect on a family
34:22
Speaker 1: that is in need across Western New York, across the world.
34:25
Speaker 1: Head on over to twenty six shirts dot com. I
34:28
Speaker 1: promise you you can do way worse with your money DT.
34:34
Speaker 1: As we begin to transition and wrap up tonight, I
34:37
Speaker 1: am not liking your tone because it sounds like you
34:41
Speaker 1: are giving some type of pass to this motherfucker, and
34:45
Speaker 1: I am not trying to give him a pass. I
34:48
Speaker 1: have gone through the games, and you and I have
34:51
Speaker 1: loosely gone through the games. But yeah, you could shake
34:54
Speaker 1: your head all you want, no pass.
34:56
Speaker 3: There's one goal, the one goals Lombardi, and however, we
34:59
Speaker 3: got to get there. We got to get there. So
35:01
Speaker 3: he just has to be good enough. He just I
35:04
Speaker 3: don't need to defense. The Philadelphia Eagles were one of
35:08
Speaker 3: the best defenses since the eighty five Bears.
35:10
Speaker 1: And they didn't touch my homes when they counted. Yeah, right, you've.
35:14
Speaker 3: Said that we don't need we don't need the eighty
35:16
Speaker 3: five Bears. We got one seven, I said, not eighty
35:20
Speaker 3: five bears. That's what I was born in eighty five.
35:23
Speaker 3: How about the two thousand Ravens. Nope, not gonna get
35:25
Speaker 3: that either.
35:26
Speaker 1: I agree. Listen, as we as we look at this field,
35:31
Speaker 1: we've got in the sixth seed. You've got the Chargers,
35:34
Speaker 1: So let's just break them down, and we'll just go
35:36
Speaker 1: down the list, and and and as we begin to
35:39
Speaker 1: wrap up tonight, I wanted to talk about the possibilities. Listen,
35:43
Speaker 1: I am looking at the season now, and I am
35:46
Speaker 1: allowed to change my expectations. That doesn't make me not
35:49
Speaker 1: a Bills fan. That doesn't make me salty, It doesn't
35:53
Speaker 1: make me some type of homerk. I am allowed to
35:56
Speaker 1: change my expectations. Once Brandon Bean traded for Amari Cooper,
36:00
Speaker 1: I thought that that was important to addressing that everybody
36:03
Speaker 1: eats conundrum. I thought everybody eats was bullshit. I thought
36:07
Speaker 1: that it was fake and flew gayzy. And then if
36:10
Speaker 1: you look on ESPN dot com and you bring up
36:13
Speaker 1: receiver stats, fucking Mac Collins leads the Bills in receiving
36:19
Speaker 1: touchdowns at fine and like it's you know, what's it called?
36:22
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper has done nothing for weeks on end. So listen,
36:26
Speaker 1: I understand where people are coming from in that respect,
36:29
Speaker 1: what I will say is that I think Amari Cooper
36:31
Speaker 1: was important for spreading out the offense I did Miss fourteen.
36:35
Speaker 1: I was scared about his loss because of the fact
36:37
Speaker 1: that I didn't know who was gonna pick up the slack,
36:40
Speaker 1: so to speak. As we look at these teams that
36:42
Speaker 1: we could potentially be facing, DT, I I don't care
36:47
Speaker 1: about going through the gauntlet. I've heard on Twitter. I've
36:51
Speaker 1: argued with people on Twitter about, well, the Bills need
36:54
Speaker 1: to go through Baltimore, they need to go through KC
36:57
Speaker 1: because that'll make us, you know, feel the best. And
36:59
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's no asterisk next to a Lombardi trophy
37:02
Speaker 1: like the Bills with Lombardi on Sunday. I'm driving up
37:06
Speaker 1: to Buffalo on Monday. I'm parking my car and I'll
37:09
Speaker 1: sit there at the launchair and I'll wait for the
37:11
Speaker 1: parade to come on Tuesday or Wednesday. Like there's no
37:13
Speaker 1: I don't care how we get there. I just want
37:15
Speaker 1: us to get there. So, if we're looking at it
37:18
Speaker 1: from that lens, DT, you've got a Denver team, excuse me,
37:22
Speaker 1: a Chargers team with Herbert who they always love to
37:25
Speaker 1: compare to Josh Allen you've got a Denver team who
37:29
Speaker 1: you know, Bo Nicks most starts for college football, and
37:33
Speaker 1: he's seasoned, and he comes in with Sean Payton, and
37:35
Speaker 1: they got a chance to make some room. And then
37:38
Speaker 1: you've got you know, Miami who's outside looking in. You've
37:41
Speaker 1: got the Bengals outside looking in. We talked about that
37:44
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the show. And then after that,
37:46
Speaker 1: you've got Picksburg on the outside chance again that they
37:49
Speaker 1: don't win the AC North and they are the number
37:51
Speaker 1: seven seed. I don't fear any of those teams DT,
37:55
Speaker 1: I don't fear any of them. I don't fear any
37:58
Speaker 1: of them. And I'll talk to you about the teams
38:00
Speaker 1: I do fear.
38:01
Speaker 3: Hell no, I mean, you kidd me. And this is
38:07
Speaker 3: the Colors. They have every year of good but not
38:10
Speaker 3: good enough. I mean, the Chargers have been opposite of consistent.
38:15
Speaker 3: You know, with a great roster, Harbaugh might have turned
38:18
Speaker 3: them around, but it's still do you want to compare
38:20
Speaker 3: Josh Allen to Justin Herbert.
38:21
Speaker 1: Or we've got a good defense. They've got a good defense, But.
38:24
Speaker 3: The John Harbaugh wants or Jim Harbaugh wants to be
38:27
Speaker 3: like this tough run team when he's got this big quarterback, Like,
38:31
Speaker 3: so there's he's there. And I mean, I'll take a
38:34
Speaker 3: rookie quarterback coming into coming into the Ralph like that
38:37
Speaker 3: dude has had good games and that defense is good too,
38:41
Speaker 3: but that dude's also thrown for ninety yards in a
38:43
Speaker 3: whole game like and and like you know, he's looked
38:45
Speaker 3: like a rookie straight up before and definitely scared of
38:49
Speaker 3: any of those teams. And I talked about not scared
38:51
Speaker 3: of the Bengals. Give me Miami, please, that sounds good.
38:54
Speaker 3: Little the Colts, I think we're played well. To lose
39:01
Speaker 3: by twenty one to us, I think, you know, or
39:04
Speaker 3: ten to us. Excuse me, I think that could have been,
39:06
Speaker 3: you know, a twenty plus point game easily. So bring
39:09
Speaker 3: it on all and then even down to Houston and
39:13
Speaker 3: the five with you know, Houston looks well.
39:16
Speaker 1: Houston be the four, so you're not going to play
39:17
Speaker 1: them in the first round or anything like that. But
39:20
Speaker 1: you know, it's a situation where I'm looking at the past.
39:23
Speaker 1: So the path of New Orleans is most likely the
39:26
Speaker 1: Chargers or Denver most that's most likely. There's an outside
39:31
Speaker 1: chance for Miami. There's an outside chance for the Bengals,
39:35
Speaker 1: and then after that they recede. It's not like the
39:38
Speaker 1: college football playoff. They do it the right way. They recede.
39:41
Speaker 1: So if they're receding and the lowest remaining seed goes
39:44
Speaker 1: to Kansas City, who is now locked up the number
39:46
Speaker 1: one seed, you're looking at a matchup with Baltimore. I okay, okay,
39:52
Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia Nicol City crew. You want me to look
39:55
Speaker 1: at you the camera? Okay, hands up. I'm scared of Baltimore.
40:01
Speaker 1: I said it. Talk. You could talk me off the ledge.
40:03
Speaker 1: The lady at the front desk is not there of DT,
40:06
Speaker 1: so you could you could kiss my ass. She did
40:08
Speaker 1: not take my bills, mafia medical insurance card. She is
40:11
Speaker 1: not there to help me pay my copay. You can't
40:15
Speaker 1: talk me off the ledge tonight. I I'm scared of Baltimore.
40:18
Speaker 1: I'm scared of them. And and some of the rhetoric
40:21
Speaker 1: I hear on w g R mind boggles me because
40:26
Speaker 1: it's all based on injuries. And they're saying that the
40:30
Speaker 1: reason we lost was because of the injuries. And I
40:33
Speaker 1: say that that is a weak cop out DT. It's
40:37
Speaker 1: weak to me. I Robert Calvin Crippin the second. I'm
40:42
Speaker 1: scared of Baltimore. I don't want to see him again, DT,
40:45
Speaker 1: I don't. I want to see KC in the AFC
40:48
Speaker 1: Championship Game before I want to see Baltimore again. I
40:50
Speaker 1: don't want to see them again. DT.
40:52
Speaker 3: Scared of the bully because last time you saw the bully,
40:54
Speaker 3: he beat your ass.
40:55
Speaker 1: He whooped as it made us.
40:57
Speaker 3: Touch the white poop.
41:00
Speaker 1: They got another tongue on the white poop, right, whoever there.
41:06
Speaker 3: Was, there's no.
41:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm scared of the man.
41:12
Speaker 3: We knew that this isn't some you know, hidden thing.
41:15
Speaker 3: This is some hidden thing.
41:16
Speaker 1: We got to figure out what you would listen to
41:18
Speaker 1: w g R D T they are talking about, I mean,
41:20
Speaker 1: Jeremy White on down They're like, what are you talking about?
41:23
Speaker 1: I'm more concerned about this, this, this, this, this.
41:27
Speaker 3: Beat your ass last time. But the only way to
41:29
Speaker 3: beat the person that beat your ass is get up
41:31
Speaker 3: and beat their ass so they don't do it again.
41:33
Speaker 3: And hey, that's that's what I love, and that's what
41:35
Speaker 3: I'm confident for with this team being a little different.
41:37
Speaker 3: I'm scared isn't the right word. I'm scared a very
41:41
Speaker 3: good foe, you know, and I think it's gonna be
41:43
Speaker 3: it to be the most physical game this team's ever played. Uh,
41:46
Speaker 3: but a very similar team as well, you know, an
41:48
Speaker 3: m VP caliber quarterback, explosive offense.
41:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they've got a great running game. Though they
41:53
Speaker 1: can run down our throat. We can't do that to them.
41:56
Speaker 3: But we have a I mean, our running game is
41:58
Speaker 3: is good in its own right. I mean all three
42:01
Speaker 3: of our running backs are scoring, are scoring a touchdown
42:05
Speaker 3: a game, you know, So we have a great running team.
42:08
Speaker 3: In the other fright, their defense had similar flaws to
42:11
Speaker 3: our defense. They had a horrible pass defense in the
42:14
Speaker 3: kind of the middle of the season, they've tightened it up.
42:17
Speaker 1: It'sdy wants to tell you it was injuries. Everybody wants
42:20
Speaker 1: to tell you that it was because so and so
42:22
Speaker 1: didn't play, and this guy didn't play, and this guy
42:25
Speaker 1: didn't play. But we did.
42:26
Speaker 3: We did. Could have had a run in that game too,
42:29
Speaker 3: you know, we could have had a run in that
42:30
Speaker 3: game too.
42:31
Speaker 1: Good. But I agree, I am not blaming the loss
42:36
Speaker 1: on Joe Brady calling a stupid, you know, trick play.
42:41
Speaker 1: I think that we got our ass beat. I think
42:44
Speaker 1: that they handed it to us. I think that they
42:46
Speaker 1: were up from the beginning of the game in respects
42:48
Speaker 1: to the physicality the way that they brought it to
42:51
Speaker 1: our front door. They brought that physicality to our front
42:54
Speaker 1: door from the beginning of the game. And I just
42:56
Speaker 1: I don't want I don't want to see them again, DT,
42:58
Speaker 1: I don't, I do not want to see them again.
43:01
Speaker 3: Well, then you better, you better hope for better. Hope
43:04
Speaker 3: they lose next week and Steelers win.
43:07
Speaker 1: Or Chargers Like, God, you're not you're not talking me
43:14
Speaker 1: off the legs. Yeah, the lady is she the lady
43:17
Speaker 1: at the front desk is on Christmas. You're not able
43:20
Speaker 1: to talk me off the legs tonight.
43:24
Speaker 3: I agree. I'm not one of those guys that need need.
43:29
Speaker 1: Somebody on Twitter DT told me as we begin to
43:31
Speaker 1: wrap up tonight, somebody told me on Twitter, if the
43:35
Speaker 1: Bills don't beat the Ravens and the Chiefs, it won't
43:38
Speaker 1: feel the same if we win it. And I literally
43:41
Speaker 1: had eyeball emojis and they're just exploding, and I'm like,
43:45
Speaker 1: you sound like a crazy person, sir, you sound like
43:50
Speaker 1: a moron. Like there's no way that I care. There's
43:53
Speaker 1: no asterisk on the actual Lombardi itself. I don't care
43:57
Speaker 1: if it's the easiest road. We would never wish any
44:00
Speaker 1: type of injury on another player. Obviously we wouldn't want
44:03
Speaker 1: that on our players. But other than that, like, outside
44:05
Speaker 1: of that, I hope they all play shitty. I hope
44:08
Speaker 1: that the Dolphins make it and we whoop them at
44:10
Speaker 1: you know, like I just I don't. I don't have
44:13
Speaker 1: no room for style points. And we talked about that
44:17
Speaker 1: earlier in the year. Style points are out the window.
44:20
Speaker 1: I don't care about style points. I want the Buffalo
44:22
Speaker 1: Bills to represent the American Football Conference in the super Bowl.
44:26
Speaker 1: That's all I want. I don't care about anything else.
44:29
Speaker 1: And you know, however we get there is however we
44:32
Speaker 1: get there, I don't. I really don't care. And it's
44:34
Speaker 1: funny that you said you don't give a fuck. You
44:37
Speaker 1: don't care about Baltimore. I'm scared of them. And I
44:40
Speaker 1: listened to g R and they're talking about injuries.
44:42
Speaker 3: Listen, I said, I'm not scared. I'm not scared, but yeah, yeah.
44:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, as we begin to wreck, I'm scared. I am.
44:55
Speaker 1: I am terrified of seeing Baltimore again, I really am.
44:58
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to see them now. As

51:15

Speaker 1: The princesses are gone, both princes, and Floe and Ivory
51:18
Speaker 1: are gone with their mother. It's funny. Bobby and Nate
51:22
Speaker 1: left this morning and then last second they're like we're
51:26
Speaker 1: taking Quincy and I'm like looking around, like what the fuck,
51:28
Speaker 1: Like wait, wait what and they're like, yeah, we're taking Quincy.
51:31
Speaker 1: And he's coming too, and I'm like all my kings
51:34
Speaker 1: are gone and they're like, yeah, he's gone. They're leaving.
51:37
Speaker 1: So I have got nothing but just me when it
51:41
Speaker 1: comes to Sunday on out, and I've got to work
51:43
Speaker 1: a little bit. But uh, it's crazy, DT. I don't
51:47
Speaker 1: It's funny when you're you're you're living that life that
51:49
Speaker 1: I used to live. Yes, and like yeah, three thirty
51:52
Speaker 1: lidded like I'm not used to that, Like I'm not
51:55
Speaker 1: used to not having my babies with me. So like
51:58
Speaker 1: at one day or another I have some of the babies.
52:01
Speaker 1: That feels like and and now as of Sunday, I've
52:05
Speaker 1: got none of the babies. They're all gone, literally all gone.
52:09
Speaker 1: Bobby and Nate left with their mother with Rebecca, and
52:12
Speaker 1: then they said, fuck it, we're taking Quincy with us,
52:15
Speaker 1: and like he's just gone. He just disappears and he
52:17
Speaker 1: goes with them on a trip. And then Yes, and
52:20
Speaker 1: then Flow and Ivy theyre are gone. They're gone with
52:22
Speaker 1: their mother on Sunday, And I guess I'll just sit
52:26
Speaker 1: here and complain about Sean McDermott and get ready for
52:30
Speaker 1: the playoffs and pray that everybody stays healthy. So that's
52:35
Speaker 1: really all I'm looking for at this point tonight as
52:37
Speaker 1: we close up, I just want everybody to stay healthy.
52:41
Speaker 1: I am suspect, and I do feel a little bit
52:43
Speaker 1: suspect about Sean McDermott's defense because he has proven it
52:47
Speaker 1: over time that his defense can't be trusted. In the playoffs,
52:52
Speaker 1: so we'll see. Hopefully this is a bucking trend. I
52:55
Speaker 1: didn't think everybody who eats what was gonna work, and
52:58
Speaker 1: it worked, DT, So because it worked, maybe I'll be
53:00
Speaker 1: surprised by his defense. Bang your words, Yes I did.
53:10
Speaker 1: I did say that I didn't have an episode like that, DT, man.
53:14
