- 1:34Speaker 3: Nate to Charlotte Hornets came for his little birthday celebration.

- 1:58Speaker 1: Not we got November November seventh, foot fall day, clear
- 2:03Speaker 1: skies and the rough, most of the leaves are down.
- 2:07Speaker 1: But it just got that that football air, that football
- 2:10Speaker 1: air out there. Got a nice play to college football today,
- 2:13Speaker 1: Sabers at home at won.
- 2:15Speaker 4: Nice day in the buff, Nice day in the Buff.
- 2:17Speaker 3: Yeah, man's it is a nice day. It's nice day
- 2:19Speaker 3: down here Charlotte as well. And the weather's nice. And
- 2:21Speaker 3: like you said, it's just that fall weather, that that
- 2:23Speaker 3: football weather makes you feel like it's football time. Football
- 2:26Speaker 3: just ended for us down here last week. It was
- 2:28Speaker 3: a bowl game for a Night's team. But other than that, man,
- 2:31Speaker 3: it's a nice weather to wait now I'm excited for
- 2:34Speaker 3: a special guest tonight because, as you know, DT, I
- 2:36Speaker 3: started to get in that Twitter space and started to
- 2:38Speaker 3: get really active on it, and I started to enjoy
- 2:41Speaker 3: arguing with people and fighting people different things like that.
- 2:44Speaker 3: And it's funny because this is a guy that I
- 2:47Speaker 3: didn't really have to fight too much because he liked
- 2:49Speaker 3: a lot of my takes. I like some of his
- 2:50Speaker 3: takes as well, and we kind of just you know,
- 2:53Speaker 3: formed a little Bill's brotherhood over that, joining us Scott Frey,
- 2:57Speaker 3: Scott Fry excuse me, check him out at Scott M.
- 3:00Speaker 3: Fry at the Cruise. Got good to have you all, guys.
- 3:04Speaker 2: Man, I'm glad to be here. I've never been on
- 3:06Speaker 2: a Bill's podcast and uh, man, this is a passion
- 3:08Speaker 2: of mine. So that's how we got hooked up on
- 3:10Speaker 2: Twitter and uh for the most part, I think we
- 3:13Speaker 2: see a lot of stuff similarly. But what's cool about
- 3:15Speaker 2: the interwebs and podcast is if we don't we can
- 3:18Speaker 2: talk about it.
- 3:18Speaker 3: So that's right.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Super stoked to meet you guys. And I'm in Ohio
- 3:22Speaker 2: and you know, Repsick, you just described my day over here. Man.
- 3:26Speaker 2: It's crisp and cool. The leaves are down. It's right
- 3:28Speaker 2: in the throes of football season, and I'm glad you
- 3:31Speaker 2: brought up the Sabers because it's okay to talk about
- 3:33Speaker 2: them right this minute, this weekend, and we'll see, we'll
- 3:35Speaker 2: see how it goes today.
- 3:36Speaker 4: Almost back to five.
- 3:38Speaker 3: Yeah, well, just scratching in claude. It's funny, you know,
- 3:41Speaker 3: when I talk and I looked at, you know, the
- 3:43Speaker 3: situation that we got coming up tomorrow before we look
- 3:47Speaker 3: forward to to Indy, I wanted to just touch on
- 3:49Speaker 3: that dramatic win that the Bills had over Miami. And
- 3:52Speaker 3: I know that, you know, it's Saturday now, so everybody's
- 3:54Speaker 3: already looked forwarding to tomorrow. But really, as you take
- 3:58Speaker 3: a step back, DT, it was interesting, what a what
- 4:00Speaker 3: a wild game that was in a wild ride. I
- 4:03Speaker 3: think the Bills that at multiple points looked like they
- 4:06Speaker 3: could have lost that game. I think that at certain
- 4:09Speaker 3: points in time it looked like we were gonna run
- 4:11Speaker 3: away with things. But but man, Miami just played us tough.
- 4:13Speaker 3: And it was one of those games where it was
- 4:15Speaker 3: not like that first matchup DT two. It was back.
- 4:18Speaker 3: He was healthy, he was out there slinging it. They
- 4:20Speaker 3: were running that little short game and it was working. Man.
- 4:23Speaker 3: I think they only had like one deep shot to
- 4:25Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill over the middle during the game and everything
- 4:27Speaker 3: else was just dank and dunk death by a thousand cuts.
- 4:30Speaker 3: It was working. DT that that run game was was
- 4:32Speaker 3: breaking off like seven yards of pop man ah Han
- 4:35Speaker 3: and moster are it was. That was a little bit
- 4:37Speaker 3: dicey for him to DT keep it real with the crew.
- 4:40Speaker 3: That was a little bit icy.
- 4:41Speaker 1: I'll also keep it real with the crew of what's
- 4:43Speaker 1: what have we gotten now? Fourteen and two one, yeah,
- 4:47Speaker 1: fourteen seven versus the Fins and you know, all the
- 4:51Speaker 1: division aside everything the build up to squish the Fish
- 4:54Speaker 1: and it being a divisional matchup. You knew you ain't
- 4:58Speaker 1: gonna blow him out twice every year, right, so expect
- 5:01Speaker 1: to win in the Patriots when when Tom Brady was
- 5:03Speaker 1: one hundred and two against the Bills in his career,
- 5:06Speaker 1: they didn't blow the Bills out every week either, So
- 5:08Speaker 1: expect the Dolphins to kind of come back. They're trying
- 5:10Speaker 1: to claw back into their season when two of back
- 5:12Speaker 1: get back into that playoff push. But never never really
- 5:15Speaker 1: a doubt. It really was a stereotypical Bills game this year.
- 5:19Speaker 1: You know, kind of a slow start, we're kind of
- 5:21Speaker 1: always in a little bit of control, had chances to
- 5:24Speaker 1: kind of blow the doors open that didn't really happen,
- 5:27Speaker 1: and you know, obviously resulted all the way down to
- 5:29Speaker 1: the last play of the game. So good win, We'll
- 5:32Speaker 1: take it seven and two. But God expect the Dolphins to,
- 5:35Speaker 1: you know, to come correct, and they did. But at
- 5:37Speaker 1: the same time, the Bills kind were in control and
- 5:39Speaker 1: it could have been a lot worse than it even was.
- 5:41Speaker 3: Yes, Scott, it was interesting watching that game before the
- 5:43Speaker 3: best drama at the end, you know. I was I
- 5:46Speaker 3: was like when Miami didn't go for two, and we
- 5:49Speaker 3: saw it like in three different instances, and then again
- 5:52Speaker 3: on Monday night, and it was crazy because I was
- 5:54Speaker 3: telling all my family that was at the house, and
- 5:56Speaker 3: I'm like, I was telling Jody Detl, I was like, yo,
- 5:58Speaker 3: I'm like, they should go for two, and she does
- 6:00Speaker 3: really follow fulb all that much. But then Rebecca was here,
- 6:02Speaker 3: Bobby and Nate's mom, and then I was like, Todation,
- 6:04Speaker 3: they're gonna go for two. I'm like, they're gonna go
- 6:06Speaker 3: for to and we could fuck this game up. Scott.
- 6:08Speaker 3: I was nervous and then I was shocked when they didn't.
- 6:11Speaker 3: And we saw it play out with New England and Tennessee.
- 6:13Speaker 3: We saw it play out with Tampa Bay and Kansas City,
- 6:15Speaker 3: and then we saw it again the other night with
- 6:17Speaker 3: Cincy and Baltimore. I have no idea why Mike McDaniel
- 6:20Speaker 3: team on the road didn't go for two. I expected it. Yeah,
- 6:24Speaker 3: it quite shocked me.
- 6:25Speaker 2: Make your own victory, make your own fate, make your
- 6:28Speaker 2: own luck. Be aggressive, especially again there's this thought about
- 6:31Speaker 2: maybe the lesser team on the road go snatch it,
- 6:34Speaker 2: grab it. You don't want to put that Bill's offense
- 6:36Speaker 2: on the field in overtime any longer than you have to.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Don't press your luck. And McDaniel's win conservative and you know,
- 6:42Speaker 2: as it turns out, right, we hit the sixty one
- 6:44Speaker 2: yard bomb. It's good for Tea bass man. I was
- 6:47Speaker 2: so he did, we did, all of us did collective,
- 6:51Speaker 2: you know, sigh of relief. Let's hope he keeps it going.
- 6:54Speaker 2: But man, for confidence sake, that's got to help. But yeah,
- 6:57Speaker 2: it was a classic division brawl. And sometimes records don't matter,
- 7:01Speaker 2: and there's a lot of anks between these teams. You
- 7:03Speaker 2: had JPO come back had a little little helmet to
- 7:06Speaker 2: helmet there at the end, which I thought was the
- 7:08Speaker 2: right call. I wouldn't guess for a second that man
- 7:11Speaker 2: was malicious in any ways, shape or for. But man,
- 7:14Speaker 2: that did not hurt us as far as getting that
- 7:17Speaker 2: first down by penalty. It kind of hurt mister Coleman,
- 7:20Speaker 2: though I'm a little nervous about that. I hope he's
- 7:22Speaker 2: all right.
- 7:22Speaker 3: Ye, we'll get to talk about that.
- 7:24Speaker 2: Great to see the Bills on the right side of
- 7:26Speaker 2: one of those because we all you know, we're not
- 7:29Speaker 2: going to mention any of the nicknames we've given those games,
- 7:31Speaker 2: but we've all felt that pain where it didn't work
- 7:34Speaker 2: out our way, you know, Miami classic approach to the Bills,
- 7:37Speaker 2: D let's get him over the middle. It works, and
- 7:40Speaker 2: they made us pay a little bit in the run game,
- 7:42Speaker 2: but a Chan and Mostert have always given us a
- 7:45Speaker 2: tough time and so I wasn't surprised to see that necessarily.
- 7:48Speaker 2: But yeah, it never felt like, man, we're toast. And
- 7:52Speaker 2: I'll go as nihilistic as anybody on the internet in
- 7:54Speaker 2: the middle of a game, you know, oh it's over
- 7:56Speaker 2: where the world and then two plays later, never mind,
- 8:00Speaker 2: if you go into fan mode where you lose sense
- 8:02Speaker 2: of rational thought for a few minutes. Absolutely, it was
- 8:05Speaker 2: an awesome game.
- 8:06Speaker 1: I think it was the right call from a game
- 8:08Speaker 1: to kick the extra point. I mean, why that on
- 8:11Speaker 1: the Dolphins part, because what were the Bills in the
- 8:13Speaker 1: second half? Four possessions, four scores. Yes, you know, they
- 8:17Speaker 1: weren't being stopped. As much as we weren't able to
- 8:19Speaker 1: stop the Dolphins, they weren't stopping one to seven at
- 8:21Speaker 1: all getting down the field. So even if you don't
- 8:24Speaker 1: go for two of the games, or if you go
- 8:26Speaker 1: for two and don't get it, it's over. If you
- 8:28Speaker 1: get it, they still have the ball with one thirty
- 8:31Speaker 1: and got to go down and just kick the field
- 8:32Speaker 1: goal to beat you anyway.
- 8:33Speaker 3: And you know, I think that was that was a
- 8:35Speaker 3: little bit of a different situation than like Tampa, the
- 8:38Speaker 3: Tampa game, the New England game. Those are situations where
- 8:42Speaker 3: you can win.
- 8:43Speaker 2: It thirty eight, right, Yeah, there was, and that's an
- 8:45Speaker 2: eternity for most NFL teams, particularly seventeen.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Yeah, with a team that was moving the ball for
- 8:50Speaker 1: four possessions in the second half. So looking back, I
- 8:54Speaker 1: don't blame them at all for doing that, And I'm
- 8:55Speaker 1: glad obviously we got the we got the better end
- 8:58Speaker 1: of it.
- 8:58Speaker 3: Oh boy, that was funny watching Tea Bass because you're
- 9:01Speaker 3: absolutely right, Scott. You know, everybody in Bill's and Bill's
- 9:03Speaker 3: mafia was happy for him, for sure, and I know
- 9:05Speaker 3: that I agree with that sentiment. It's funny because when
- 9:08Speaker 3: I was looking on Twitter though before, everybody was cursing
- 9:11Speaker 3: him out, and when he had missed that one kick,
- 9:12Speaker 3: you know, he missed the extra point I think it
- 9:14Speaker 3: was or whatever it was. And and it's funny how
- 9:16Speaker 3: you know just how volatile and how quickly your attitude
- 9:19Speaker 3: could change, because people were, you know, get him out
- 9:21Speaker 3: of here, fire him, get rid of him. And then
- 9:23Speaker 3: at the sixty one yarder, Now, were you guys surprised
- 9:25Speaker 3: because I wasn't surprised that that McDermott, you know, trotted
- 9:28Speaker 3: him out there. I think that that was one of
- 9:29Speaker 3: the situations where if you punt that ball and for
- 9:33Speaker 3: some reason something go shitty, I think that McDermott really
- 9:36Speaker 3: can't survive that, you know what I mean, not not
- 9:38Speaker 3: that they're going to fire him, but that there we're
- 9:39Speaker 3: just gonna be out there with the pitchforks. I was
- 9:41Speaker 3: in a situation where I looked at at Scott where
- 9:43Speaker 3: I was not surprised when they tried him out in
- 9:45Speaker 3: the field. I didn't think he was gonna make it.
- 9:47Speaker 3: At the same time, but I thought that there was
- 9:49Speaker 3: the right decision just because the fact that you know,
- 9:51Speaker 3: there's not really much else you could do other than
- 9:52Speaker 3: punt it back to him, and I didn't want to
- 9:54Speaker 3: see that.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, you give tea Bass that little
- 9:57Speaker 2: confidence boost just by sending him out there, and there's
- 10:00Speaker 2: value in that. But you also give yourself an opportunity
- 10:02Speaker 2: to say, Okay, if he drills this, awesome, If he
- 10:06Speaker 2: does not after a mixed missed extra point and a
- 10:09Speaker 2: doink off the upright for an extra point, now you
- 10:12Speaker 2: just build the case that we really probably need to
- 10:14Speaker 2: make a change at the decision. So it's kind of
- 10:17Speaker 2: a win win in that regard if you want to
- 10:19Speaker 2: get all down into the granular nuance. But do you
- 10:21Speaker 2: think that was part of us could be you know,
- 10:24Speaker 2: you know McDermott, he's a character guy. He's like, let's
- 10:27Speaker 2: give this guy every opportunity and let the let the
- 10:30Speaker 2: player make it happen or don't make it happen.
- 10:33Speaker 1: And so yeah, I think that's an interesting thought there, right,
- 10:37Speaker 1: That's is that does that happen in professional sports where
- 10:40Speaker 1: it's more of a business decision, right, Like, Okay, let's
- 10:45Speaker 1: if he goes out there and misses, we're justified to
- 10:47Speaker 1: cut him.
- 10:48Speaker 3: Right.
- 10:48Speaker 2: It certainly doesn't make the case any harder.
- 10:51Speaker 4: If he goes out there and makes it, it's all good.
- 10:53Speaker 4: We win the game.
- 10:54Speaker 1: It's you know, not a win win, because if you
- 10:57Speaker 1: lose the game, that's not a win, but a win
- 10:59Speaker 1: to the organist saying okay, now we can we can
- 11:03Speaker 1: rightfully make this move and get rid of this guy.
- 11:05Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 11:06Speaker 4: So that's yeah, I is that what he was interesting?
- 11:09Speaker 3: That's interesting. Yeah. I mean that's a pressure situation. And
- 11:12Speaker 3: if you want to make it playoff equivalent, you might
- 11:14Speaker 3: need him not from not necessarily from sixty one yards,
- 11:16Speaker 3: but you might need him in the playoffs. We saw
- 11:18Speaker 3: that last year unfortunately, you know, bear off the wrong
- 11:21Speaker 3: way against Kansas City. You might need him to make
- 11:23Speaker 3: a clutch kick and and no better way to kind
- 11:26Speaker 3: of put his you know, put the nuts to Yeah,
- 11:29Speaker 3: that's more and other than just setting them out there
- 11:31Speaker 3: for everybody pack stadium. It's a wonderful day. It's a
- 11:34Speaker 3: division arrival. Go win the game.
- 11:36Speaker 2: You know what, I'm thinking. We got the East by
- 11:38Speaker 2: the throat, let's finish it. And if he whiffs on
- 11:41Speaker 2: that and we lose the game, you've just opened the
- 11:43Speaker 2: door a crack for the Dolphins, and I really want
- 11:46Speaker 2: to put them out of their mis just be done
- 11:49Speaker 2: this year as a way, and so mission accomplished. So
- 11:51Speaker 2: that was cool.
- 11:52Speaker 3: But yeah, yep, I'm definitely in agreement all that now
- 11:55Speaker 3: as we transition because you know, I know it's Saturday now,
- 11:58Speaker 3: so we're all getting hyped up in before tomorrow's game.
- 12:01Speaker 3: It's interesting because you know, I've named the episode of
- 12:04Speaker 3: the way that I did because of the fact that
- 12:06Speaker 3: normally I'm good for these games. I'm good for, you know,
- 12:09Speaker 3: knowing that the Bills are not gonna, you know, fall
- 12:11Speaker 3: into any type of lull or anything like that, and
- 12:13Speaker 3: DT is always there to remind me that these are
- 12:15Speaker 3: professionals and that they're they'll keep everything focused. DT. I'm
- 12:19Speaker 3: actually a little bit more nervous than I normally would
- 12:22Speaker 3: be for a quote unquote trap game like Tomorrow's got
- 12:25Speaker 3: coming up in it's just because of the opponent on
- 12:27Speaker 3: the other side. We'll talk about Kansas City and take
- 12:29Speaker 3: a peek towards that at the end of the show.
- 12:31Speaker 3: But you've got to match up here DT on the
- 12:33Speaker 3: road a team that has now changed quarterbacks for some
- 12:36Speaker 3: odd reason. They left Anthony Richardson and just you know,
- 12:40Speaker 3: go to Joe Flacco. That makes no sense to me
- 12:43Speaker 3: if you're actually trying to build the team and try
- 12:44Speaker 3: to actually find out answers about your quarterback. I think
- 12:47Speaker 3: it's a horrible mistake that they made by going to
- 12:49Speaker 3: Joe Flacco. He follows up that horrible decision by playing
- 12:52Speaker 3: some real bad football last week. It was it was atrocious.
- 12:56Speaker 3: I'm interested to know what you think, DT. Is it
- 12:58Speaker 3: just the fact that maybe Joe Flacco has no way
- 13:00Speaker 3: to beat us, or the fact that the Bills invite
- 13:03Speaker 3: the run. We've talked a lot about that this week,
- 13:05Speaker 3: how they they asked teams to run on them. We
- 13:06Speaker 3: saw it again with Miami last week. So because that's
- 13:09Speaker 3: their defensive approach, they want to keep, you know, the
- 13:11Speaker 3: ball out of the air and find a way to
- 13:13Speaker 3: get the ball on the ground. They've got a great
- 13:14Speaker 3: run game with Jonathan Taylor. We've seen that close up
- 13:17Speaker 3: d tu and I at a Bills gave a couple
- 13:19Speaker 3: of years ago where they beat the brakes off of us,
- 13:21Speaker 3: and I drove up all the way from Charlotte to
- 13:22Speaker 3: see that massacre. I'm interested to see what you're feeling
- 13:25Speaker 3: is on tomorrow because I'm a little bit more worried
- 13:28Speaker 3: about a trap game. Not that not that Indy can
- 13:31Speaker 3: beat us or that they're better than us, but just
- 13:33Speaker 3: that there might just be a lingering eye towards next week,
- 13:36Speaker 3: because next week could just be so big, even if
- 13:39Speaker 3: you know, if the Bills win, the next week really
- 13:41Speaker 3: could be for the number one seed. I know it's
- 13:42Speaker 3: early still, we got half the season left, but this
- 13:44Speaker 3: could this could really come into focus next week in
- 13:47Speaker 3: Orchard Park at one Bill's Drive.
- 13:50Speaker 1: I think that's that's true. You can't overlook anybody in
- 13:54Speaker 1: the league. But this is a nice month we're on
- 13:57Speaker 1: right here of very similar opponents kind of across the board,
- 14:00Speaker 1: going back to that Jets game on Monday night through
- 14:03Speaker 1: now you know you have the Jets and the Seahawks,
- 14:06Speaker 1: then the than the Dolphins in this am I correct
- 14:09Speaker 1: in that order here, yes, so oh and the Titans
- 14:13Speaker 1: were in there too, but that that was a little
- 14:15Speaker 1: lesser than than It's a very similar, you know, situation
- 14:21Speaker 1: of you're the better team, you gotta go in there
- 14:24Speaker 1: and get the win. And there's trap game you know,
- 14:27Speaker 1: trap game scenarios, trap game theories on all these games
- 14:30Speaker 1: leading up to this, and really, what what is that
- 14:32Speaker 1: going to entail? The in this This Colts team doesn't
- 14:36Speaker 1: give me any hope that the Colts can beat you know,
- 14:38Speaker 1: the Bills in that regard because they have the run game.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, what do you have two hundred yards against
- 14:44Speaker 1: this in.
- 14:44Speaker 4: That one game and.
- 14:47Speaker 3: Something like that.
- 14:49Speaker 4: But to invite the run, that's fine, you know.
- 14:53Speaker 1: They we had again last week with the with the
- 14:57Speaker 1: Dolphins that looked as if they were kind of gashing us.
- 14:59Speaker 1: But but either of those guys were even close to
- 15:01Speaker 1: one hundred yards, you know. So it's the fact of
- 15:04Speaker 1: the Bill's defense kind of looks like you're getting gashed,
- 15:07Speaker 1: but really you're not, you know, as bad as it looks,
- 15:09Speaker 1: I agree with that. Granted, I don't want to see
- 15:11Speaker 1: them move the ball as well as Miami did because
- 15:13Speaker 1: that led to the problems late in the game. But
- 15:15Speaker 1: if Jonathan Taylor's all they got that passing offense was
- 15:18Speaker 1: brutal last week. I mean they the defense had to
- 15:20Speaker 1: get a pick six to get them thirteen points on
- 15:22Speaker 1: the board. I think it's one of those games where
- 15:24Speaker 1: it's an inferior opponent. You can't overlook them. Yes, they
- 15:27Speaker 1: have a Troyn run, but even if that gashes us,
- 15:30Speaker 1: I think twenty four points wins this game.
- 15:32Speaker 3: Yeah, Scott, what's your feel on it? The only the
- 15:35Speaker 3: only thing that's given me trepidation is the fact that
- 15:37Speaker 3: you know they're humans. So because these players are human,
- 15:39Speaker 3: they know the standings, they know the schedule, they know
- 15:42Speaker 3: the lineup of the games. You know, sometimes those players
- 15:44Speaker 3: will always joke and act, oh, I don't even know
- 15:46Speaker 3: who we're playing this week. That's a bunch of bs.
- 15:48Speaker 3: Half the time, they know exactly what's going on, and
- 15:50Speaker 3: they know that Kansas City is coming to town. They
- 15:52Speaker 3: know that they're undefeated, and they know that if they
- 15:54Speaker 3: have a chance and to take care of business on tomorrow,
- 15:57Speaker 3: that game is for the one seed, you know, in
- 15:59Speaker 3: the interim. Now next week it's for the one seed.
- 16:01Speaker 3: And I think that that I just I think human
- 16:03Speaker 3: nature sometimes makes it hard to ignore it. And I
- 16:06Speaker 3: just think that I'm giving a little bit of credence
- 16:08Speaker 3: to the fact that these guys are human, that's all.
- 16:10Speaker 2: Yep. I think there's truth to that for sure. As
- 16:13Speaker 2: far as the Colts go, this thing about the Bills
- 16:17Speaker 2: inviting teams to run, I think there's a lot to
- 16:18Speaker 2: you that you look at our back end, you look
- 16:21Speaker 2: at a guy like Damar Hamlin. He's not going to
- 16:23Speaker 2: go knock down a pass. He's not going to pull
- 16:25Speaker 2: a Micah Hide and run down to the corner by
- 16:27Speaker 2: the end zone at the last second and knock away
- 16:29Speaker 2: a pass to a Patriots receiver. But Damar Hamlin can tackle.
- 16:34Speaker 2: That boy can tackle. He takes smart angles, he's tough,
- 16:37Speaker 2: and he's good against the run. And so I'm fine
- 16:41Speaker 2: with teams running on us. I'd rather have him run
- 16:43Speaker 2: on us than try to throw all over the back
- 16:46Speaker 2: end of our back end. Jonathan Taylor's frightening. My son
- 16:49Speaker 2: is a Patriots fan. I don't know if I should
- 16:51Speaker 2: even mention that publicly. And so I took him to
- 16:53Speaker 2: see the Pats and the Colts last year, and Jonathan
- 16:55Speaker 2: Taylor did a number on the Pats like I've seen
- 16:58Speaker 2: it up close, and it's scared. But I think Buffalo's
- 17:02Speaker 2: smart enough and talent top to bottom on the roster.
- 17:06Speaker 2: I think we should beat them as long as we
- 17:08Speaker 2: play smart football, we play our game, and we stay
- 17:10Speaker 2: aggressive on offense. My trepidation comes from, you know, Mari
- 17:15Speaker 2: Cooper is questionable and Coleman is out, and our wide
- 17:19Speaker 2: receiver room right now is not ideal. I mean, Shakier's cooking,
- 17:23Speaker 2: but Shakier needs guys like Cooper and Coleman on the
- 17:26Speaker 2: field to enable him to do what he does. And
- 17:28Speaker 2: Coleman's a great screen balker. We've started to see that
- 17:31Speaker 2: and that's where Shakir scores. So you know we brought
- 17:34Speaker 2: up uh oh, the guy we just brought him up
- 17:37Speaker 2: that we brought him up twice. I lost, I lost
- 17:39Speaker 2: his name. The other yes from the receiver ROOMR Virgil. Yes,
- 17:43Speaker 2: So I'm praying that Virgil can block so that we
- 17:47Speaker 2: can keep the Shakira screen game. But I think we're
- 17:49Speaker 2: gonna be running the football. We've got two really dynamic backs,
- 17:53Speaker 2: and I think you're gonna get a healthy dose of
- 17:55Speaker 2: Davis and Cook in whatever order. I think you're gonna
- 17:59Speaker 2: see Conka get some more targets and and I'm just
- 18:04Speaker 2: hoping that Amari Cooper can get on the field to
- 18:07Speaker 2: draw some defense and make a couple of plays. And
- 18:09Speaker 2: I see like Buffalo just taking advantage of of those things,
- 18:13Speaker 2: being smart and winning and maybe not a blowout type fashion,
- 18:17Speaker 2: but you know, something like a twenty four sixteen, twenty
- 18:20Speaker 2: four to twenty. Get it in the rearview mirror and
- 18:22Speaker 2: move on and prepare for Kansas City. You know there,
- 18:26Speaker 2: We're just we've got some some tricky injuries right now,
- 18:28Speaker 2: especially interior d line that doesn't help us in the
- 18:31Speaker 2: run game. So but but TV's back there at linebacker,
- 18:34Speaker 2: Bernard's back in, and I'm confident with Hamlin. You know,
- 18:38Speaker 2: Tarren Johnson. We get excited about him as a as
- 18:41Speaker 2: a like a nickel or a slot corner because he's awesome.
- 18:44Speaker 2: But man, he punched that ball out, that little peanut
- 18:47Speaker 2: punch against mostert. Man. Bring bring Jonathan Taylor to the
- 18:52Speaker 2: outside and see what happens. You know seven is going
- 18:54Speaker 2: to be over there. So while the run game is
- 18:57Speaker 2: obviously a concern, I feel like we're gonna hand well enough.
- 19:01Speaker 2: Yeah right, it won't be pretty, Yeah, I can't will
- 19:05Speaker 2: overcome that.
- 19:06Speaker 3: And it's interesting that you you know you stole my notes,
- 19:08Speaker 3: you know, Scott, because d T that you already know.
- 19:11Speaker 3: I'm a I'm a wide receiver nut, you know, if
- 19:13Speaker 3: a past game nut. And I was worried about these injuries.
- 19:15Speaker 3: It's just weird, these risk injuries that we've seen throughout
- 19:18Speaker 3: the week. And obviously we talked about, you know, all
- 19:21Speaker 3: pro pos. He hits Coleman and it it looked like
- 19:24Speaker 3: it was helmet to helmet and it looked like it
- 19:25Speaker 3: was going to be a concussion. That was the first
- 19:26Speaker 3: thing that I thought that. Yeah, and and DT, it
- 19:29Speaker 3: turns out that, you know, his wrist is all messed up,
- 19:31Speaker 3: and then Cooper's dealing with the risk injury, and like,
- 19:34Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I'm just worried about the wide
- 19:35Speaker 3: receiver corps. Maybe Scott's right and they just lean into
- 19:38Speaker 3: the run game. I don't know what you think their
- 19:39Speaker 3: approach is going to be tomorrow. I'd love to hear
- 19:41Speaker 3: your thoughts, TT, because if it's if it's a run
- 19:44Speaker 3: game heavy game plan, can we be successful that way?
- 19:47Speaker 3: Because I I don't know if I bag on on
- 19:51Speaker 3: Joe Brady all the time for running the ball too much,
- 19:53Speaker 3: but I still know where my bread is buttered. And
- 19:54Speaker 3: that's Josh Allen. If he's not even to you know,
- 19:56Speaker 3: a part of the offense in respects to I'm attacking
- 19:59Speaker 3: them down the vertically, then what what kind offense is
- 20:01Speaker 3: it going to be tomorrow?
- 20:02Speaker 1: True, but some of the biggest answers to the bell
- 20:06Speaker 1: this year from this Buffalo Bill's offense has been this
- 20:09Speaker 1: offensive line stepping up in a few situations that Jets
- 20:12Speaker 1: Monday night game, those boys were moving people. Those boys
- 20:15Speaker 1: were making holes on a very good defensive front from
- 20:19Speaker 1: the New York Jets. And this, you know, the Indianapolis
- 20:21Speaker 1: defense is definitely better than their offense. I'd say if
- 20:24Speaker 1: you stack rank them, there's some you know a little
- 20:27Speaker 1: older in some areas, but some all pros in there
- 20:29Speaker 1: with with you know, the Forest Bunker and company all
- 20:32Speaker 1: over the place.
- 20:33Speaker 2: They so I need I need the.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Offensive line to step up and answer that bell that
- 20:40Speaker 1: they have done a few times this year of just
- 20:42Speaker 1: moving people and increasing that openness to the run game
- 20:45Speaker 1: where Ray Davis is running through semi truck holes and
- 20:48Speaker 1: James Cook doesn't need as much room but you know,
- 20:50Speaker 1: can still get it done and then work there. They
- 20:53Speaker 1: love this, you know, East and west type of pass
- 20:57Speaker 1: game they're working on, right, and kind of go with
- 20:59Speaker 1: that to open the game up. On the we talk about, yes,
- 21:02Speaker 1: our receiving corps is not looking good going into this week,
- 21:05Speaker 1: but on the other side of the ball, it's the
- 21:06Speaker 1: same thing. I mean, they're person only, which might be
- 21:10Speaker 1: our second or third receiver, and Michael Pittman is is
- 21:13Speaker 1: not going to play most likely. And then so who
- 21:15Speaker 1: are their horses?
- 21:16Speaker 4: Who do they have?
- 21:17Speaker 1: And it goes down to Joe Flacco at this point
- 21:20Speaker 1: in his career, he's a glorified Mason Rudolph. Right, we
- 21:23Speaker 1: saw Rudolf with a very similar type of team in
- 21:26Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans right here, right. They a little better defense,
- 21:30Speaker 1: they're a little east and west. They invited the run,
- 21:34Speaker 1: and that's what we're gonna see from the Colts offense too.
- 21:37Speaker 1: So that's I agree. We might not be able to
- 21:39Speaker 1: get out there and put up you know, thirty four points,
- 21:42Speaker 1: be and be prolific and Josh throws for three point
- 21:44Speaker 1: fifty and four. But if that offensive line answers the
- 21:48Speaker 1: bell again and we can open up those lanes. Like
- 21:50Speaker 1: I said earlier, we only need twenty four points to win.
- 21:52Speaker 1: This game, so you got to look at the other side. Yes,
- 21:54Speaker 1: we might not be as prolific as we need to
- 21:57Speaker 1: be down the stretch offensively, but twenty four points is
- 22:00Speaker 1: all we need.
- 22:01Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think Josh is going to get set
- 22:03Speaker 2: up to do some running maybe. And look, Ray Davis
- 22:06Speaker 2: goes sixty three yards on a little checkstown you get
- 22:11Speaker 2: blocking going, and he makes two guys miss. Now, granted
- 22:13Speaker 2: that was some atrocious let's not let's not get too
- 22:18Speaker 2: crazy on that. But he's like Zach Moss with more attitude.
- 22:23Speaker 4: You know.
- 22:24Speaker 2: He's just a bowling ball with teeth, you know. And
- 22:26Speaker 2: so just get him a little space and mix it
- 22:29Speaker 2: up between him and Cook, throw the ball to those
- 22:31Speaker 2: guys and and get Josh a little room to do
- 22:35Speaker 2: what he does. And yeah, it doesn't need to be
- 22:37Speaker 2: the wide receiver day. Okay, like we I think we
- 22:40Speaker 2: can survive without. Now, look, man, guys downfield catching balls,
- 22:44Speaker 2: Coleman winning fifty to fifties. I live for that stuff, man,
- 22:48Speaker 2: because so much.
- 22:49Speaker 3: Fun that way.
- 22:50Speaker 2: But I don't know that we need We're gonna need
- 22:52Speaker 2: that against k C. I and I'm hoping we can
- 22:55Speaker 2: just escape the Colts get our win take care of
- 22:58Speaker 2: our business and and get focused for you know who.
- 23:02Speaker 1: And this team is shown anything. They've been very chameleon
- 23:05Speaker 1: like all year. You know, Josh Allen goes for Josh
- 23:09Speaker 1: Allen goes for three hundred and four against the Jaguars,
- 23:11Speaker 1: and then the next game has one hundred and thirty.
- 23:13Speaker 4: And one, you know, and they they still win.
- 23:16Speaker 2: So tribute, that's a game plan, Yeah, game plan.
- 23:19Speaker 1: And Josh I've talked about it all here. Just the
- 23:22Speaker 1: composure of one seven and the vibe of him back
- 23:25Speaker 1: there is a lot different this year. It feels like
- 23:27Speaker 1: he's just kind of chilling going down the going down
- 23:29Speaker 1: the highway on cruise control. There's still still a lot
- 23:32Speaker 1: under the hood. And you know if that's like, hey,
- 23:35Speaker 1: we're in a construction zone. We got to go forty
- 23:37Speaker 1: five the next the next hour and a half. Then
- 23:39Speaker 1: we're gonna go forty five the next hour and a half.
- 23:41Speaker 1: We're still gonna get to our destination as a reason
- 23:43Speaker 1: at the time, but you gotta you can't be getting
- 23:45Speaker 1: no tickets through the constructions.
- 23:49Speaker 2: I love what you said about Josh's composure, right, but
- 23:52Speaker 2: he's still gonna hero if and when it's needed.
- 23:56Speaker 3: You's Yeah, ran in that touchdown to in the.
- 24:00Speaker 2: Past to Quinton Morris.
- 24:02Speaker 3: What the what was that? Yeah?
- 24:03Speaker 4: Who does that?
- 24:04Speaker 1: Man?
- 24:05Speaker 2: So that's there. That's always going to be there. You
- 24:07Speaker 2: just can't rely on it for your identity. And I
- 24:09Speaker 2: think that's where we got trapped, maybe under Day bol
- 24:12Speaker 2: In a little bit under Dorsey and at first under Brady,
- 24:15Speaker 2: but it does. It feels like that we we game
- 24:18Speaker 2: plan for situational football. And that's that's the Chiefs. That's
- 24:21Speaker 2: why they're they're they're working on a third straight Super Bowl, right.
- 24:24Speaker 2: They know how to do situational football, and I feel
- 24:26Speaker 2: like the Bills are growing into that. I need our
- 24:29Speaker 2: coaches to do a little better. Right, that's like the
- 24:33Speaker 2: last piece of the puzzle. But it feels like our
- 24:35Speaker 2: game plan is going towards situational. Here's what we got,
- 24:39Speaker 2: here's what we should do versus and it will worry
- 24:43Speaker 2: about and Josh is in that mode more often than not.
- 24:47Speaker 2: But you know, it's like, I love what you said.
- 24:48Speaker 2: It's under the hood. It's there. When we got to
- 24:51Speaker 2: push the button.
- 24:52Speaker 1: Dam and and he hero mode against the Indianapolis Colts
- 24:57Speaker 1: at one o'clock on November ninth, is that's like, it
- 25:02Speaker 1: shouldn't be fourth, shouldn't be option fourth point six if
- 25:06Speaker 1: it gets to that, Like, oh damn, okay, we are
- 25:08Speaker 1: really against the ropes. They're not up on us by
- 25:11Speaker 1: twenty points in the fourth quarter, you know, us against
- 25:13Speaker 1: the ropes, Like, oh shit, we we might be down
- 25:15Speaker 1: a touchdown in the fourth quarter. And then when seven
- 25:18Speaker 1: says okay, enough with this, Bsley, give me the ball,
- 25:21Speaker 1: we're scoring six from getting out of here with the dove,
- 25:23Speaker 1: Like this is a game where hero mode is way
- 25:26Speaker 1: down on the need chart, but if it's needed, it's
- 25:29Speaker 1: gonna be in a situation where I'm more confident than
- 25:31Speaker 1: I ever have been, you know, like, okay, we still
- 25:34Speaker 1: got him late in the game when it's going hero
- 25:36Speaker 1: mode against you know, a better team and a better
- 25:39Speaker 1: situation might come a little sooner. Here it's coming way
- 25:42Speaker 1: down the chart, and if it does come, we still
- 25:44Speaker 1: got a chance late.
- 25:45Speaker 2: So I'm like, man, like, who you're gonna hear mode too?
- 25:48Speaker 2: Because I got Cooper banged up, I got Coleman out,
- 25:50Speaker 2: I got Shaki blanketed. You know, I got this these
- 25:54Speaker 2: young guys that don't have a lot of the you know,
- 25:55Speaker 2: where's Curtis Samuel mac Collins.
- 25:58Speaker 1: Mac Collins has more touchdowns this year than uh then
- 26:01Speaker 1: we were talking starters, you know, when we were like
- 26:04Speaker 1: we have to fill this, we have to fill gave
- 26:06Speaker 1: Davis' spot.
- 26:07Speaker 4: Man is on pace to have way more time and.
- 26:09Speaker 2: He that touched down against Miami, he got separation in
- 26:12Speaker 2: the end zone.
- 26:13Speaker 3: I mean, that was scheme. That was scheme though, that
- 26:15Speaker 3: was scheme. They schemed that.
- 26:19Speaker 4: Be all.
- 26:20Speaker 1: But but hey, you know, if if it's worked, guys
- 26:22Speaker 1: that we didn't, there might be there. And if Curtis
- 26:25Speaker 1: Samuel does anything, that's a that's a plus for us.
- 26:28Speaker 2: Screen to Samuel. Let's see if it's there.
- 26:30Speaker 3: Oh god, I love it now as we transition, Today's

- 27:20Speaker 3: Oh g's We really appreciate you guys. My apologies for
- 27:24Speaker 3: last week. It really wasn't on me, but just because
- 27:26Speaker 3: it is my show, I want to apologize for last week.
- 27:29Speaker 3: I think that IG Live was the only people that
- 27:31Speaker 3: caught it. We had some problems with our streaming service. Again,
- 27:34Speaker 3: it wasn't on me, but this is my baby, this
- 27:37Speaker 3: is my show and DT's the co host, So I
- 27:39Speaker 3: want to apologize to nicol City crew for last week.
- 27:41Speaker 3: So in keeping with that theme, we just said that
- 27:44Speaker 3: that one went into the ether. So this is actually
- 27:46Speaker 3: episode twenty five. We're not gonna NaGHB it episode twenty four.
- 27:49Speaker 3: This is episode twenty five, season four. And those the
- 27:52Speaker 3: lifers last week, like Seth, they heard us last week
- 27:54Speaker 3: on IG Live, but we apologized we had some problems.
- 27:57Speaker 3: We are back on. We're ready to go every week
- 27:59Speaker 3: and shouldn't have any more hiccups. But we do appreciate
- 28:02Speaker 3: you guys on IG last week that followed us. Now,
- 28:04Speaker 3: I think we've got another giveaway coming up for the
- 28:06Speaker 3: Nickel City Group Tailgate report later in the show, but
- 28:09Speaker 3: before we get there. I don't play for the Buffalo Bills.
- 28:12Speaker 3: I'm just a mad Rabbit fan, so I don't have
- 28:15Speaker 3: to go week to week, DT, Scott. When I tell
- 28:18Speaker 3: you that, kid, I just I want the game to
- 28:20Speaker 3: go so damn fast to broll. I just wanted to
- 28:22Speaker 3: go and I want no injuries and I want everything
- 28:24Speaker 3: to just be smooth, because boy, I can't wait for
- 28:27Speaker 3: them those mfs from Kansas City to come on down
- 28:30Speaker 3: again one more time. Now, obviously you already know my position, DT.
- 28:34Speaker 3: There is no revenge. It's not that the stakes are
- 28:36Speaker 3: not the same. So because of that, I think that's
- 28:38Speaker 3: all just fluff and stuff that we tell ourselves to
- 28:40Speaker 3: make ourselves feel better. That's just mad coping and stuff
- 28:43Speaker 3: like that. It's not going to be the divisional round.
- 28:46Speaker 3: It won't be, and make an atonement for it. But boy,
- 28:49Speaker 3: what are the Buffalo Bills not done yet? Throughout this
- 28:52Speaker 3: meteoric rise of Josh Allen? They have never had the one?
- 28:56Speaker 3: See DT, just put up the one for those that
- 28:58Speaker 3: are not listed. Why. I mean, it's the only thing
- 29:02Speaker 3: left on the on the checkerboard. It's the only thing
- 29:05Speaker 3: that's left besides you know, obviously getting to the super
- 29:07Speaker 3: Bowl itself. And that's my ultimate goal. That's all I
- 29:09Speaker 3: want from the Buffalo Bills in this regime is just
- 29:11Speaker 3: to get there and I'll let the chips fall. DT.
- 29:14Speaker 3: You can go a long way if you don't have
- 29:16Speaker 3: to play an extra damn game. What happened when that
- 29:19Speaker 3: Pittsburgh game? We got hurt. We got hurt. We have
- 29:23Speaker 3: never had the one seed. If we could just grab
- 29:25Speaker 3: that one seed just one year, I like our chances
- 29:28Speaker 3: like astronomically better. I'm mad at the NFL for going
- 29:31Speaker 3: to seven teams. I'm mad at the NFL for stopping
- 29:33Speaker 3: with the two team buys. That's the reality that we're
- 29:36Speaker 3: in right now, DT, man, this could be monumental. Take
- 29:40Speaker 3: care of the business tomorrow, DT that that game just
- 29:43Speaker 3: cruise on by. Everybody stays healthy, and then I'll be
- 29:46Speaker 3: I can't wait for next week. I just can't. I
- 29:48Speaker 3: can't wait. Not because it'll be in atonement for the
- 29:50Speaker 3: for the playoff loss last year, but just because of
- 29:52Speaker 3: it will put us in the driver's seat to get
- 29:54Speaker 3: that one seat. That's all I want.
- 29:55Speaker 4: The NFL one of the best entertainment businesses.
- 30:00Speaker 1: As soon as this schedule came out, Rob, one of
- 30:02Speaker 1: the first things I said to you and Nicholas City crew,
- 30:05Speaker 1: screw this game.
- 30:06Speaker 4: I hate this game.
- 30:06Speaker 1: I don't even care about it. When we were having
- 30:09Speaker 1: our tickets, this is the first one we're gonna sell.
- 30:11Speaker 3: Ya go to this game.
- 30:13Speaker 4: I don't care about it. I didn't say I even
- 30:16Speaker 4: hope we lose.
- 30:17Speaker 2: I didn't go.
- 30:18Speaker 3: Now what we're going to say if we won? Who
- 30:20Speaker 3: cares what?
- 30:22Speaker 2: Who?
- 30:23Speaker 1: Literally doesn't matter playoffs? And then here we are, two
- 30:25Speaker 1: weeks out of if we go in there at eight
- 30:28Speaker 1: and two to give them their maybe their first loss
- 30:32Speaker 1: or their second loss, and take over the one seed.
- 30:34Speaker 1: So now this game actually does need something right, and
- 30:37Speaker 1: we have to kind of buy back in and go
- 30:39Speaker 1: with it. I like, I wanted to be under the
- 30:42Speaker 1: atonement of I hate this game. I want no part
- 30:44Speaker 1: of it. I don't even care what happens. I'm not
- 30:47Speaker 1: gonna not watch it, but whatever, keep it moving, maybe flip.
- 30:50Speaker 4: The dick if we do.
- 30:51Speaker 1: If we do lose to them, you know, then we
- 30:54Speaker 1: beat them again in the playoffs, because they we beat
- 30:57Speaker 1: them every year in the regular Like the point where
- 31:00Speaker 1: after the SC championship game and they came and it
- 31:04Speaker 1: was in in well, it's always been in Kansas City
- 31:07Speaker 1: in the regular season, and we came out and had
- 31:10Speaker 1: a great it was Sunday night Ball on like early October,
- 31:13Speaker 1: Sunday night Ball early October, and they beat them. That
- 31:17Speaker 1: Michael Hyde picked six Dawson Knox long ball, Emmanuel Sanders
- 31:21Speaker 1: long ball. And then every year it's been a good game.
- 31:24Speaker 1: Last year was a really good game. Two years ago
- 31:26Speaker 1: was a was a pack of a game with the
- 31:28Speaker 1: Terren Johnson pick. But beat them, beat them, beat them,
- 31:31Speaker 1: and it was like, can we beat these guys? Yes
- 31:32Speaker 1: we can, and now can't do it in the playoffs.
- 31:35Speaker 1: So I don't didn't want to care about this game.
- 31:38Speaker 1: But we have to because it could be one seed
- 31:40Speaker 1: implications down the rest of the way. The Chiefs schedule
- 31:43Speaker 1: very very you know, Kakewaukee and not Cakewaukee for the Bills,
- 31:47Speaker 1: So if there's any chance of the one seed, you
- 31:50Speaker 1: have to beat them next week or it's probably not happening.
- 31:53Speaker 3: Scott, I don't know what your thoughts were before the season,
- 31:55Speaker 3: but DT is absolutely accurately descripting how we felt. I
- 31:59Speaker 3: didn't give a shit about the game because we always
- 32:01Speaker 3: beating the regular season and it doesn't matter. All I
- 32:03Speaker 3: wanted was for Patrick Maholmes to get on a plane
- 32:06Speaker 3: and to have to come to us. With the playoffs.
- 32:07Speaker 3: We got our wish last year. DT and I have
- 32:09Speaker 3: talked about our previous episodes. It was just a weird
- 32:12Speaker 3: day we had. We had a great time that morning
- 32:15Speaker 3: in the tailgate, and just it was just the vibes
- 32:17Speaker 3: were off and I wasn't as confident, and then all
- 32:19Speaker 3: of a sudden, when the chips mattered, it didn't matter.
- 32:21Speaker 3: They came out again and they beat us, and it
- 32:22Speaker 3: just it just it gives you such a sour taste.
- 32:25Speaker 3: I was not interested in this game at all, and
- 32:27Speaker 3: DT's right. I am I'm locked you man, if we
- 32:29Speaker 3: could win, if we could win and take care of
- 32:32Speaker 3: business like you guys have already talked about against Indie tomorrow.
- 32:34Speaker 3: I'm locked in all week for for for Chiefs week.
- 32:36Speaker 3: I really am.
- 32:37Speaker 2: I've been trying not to get sucked into the absolute
- 32:41Speaker 2: this is it, this is the year thing this year,
- 32:44Speaker 2: because you know, with the roster moves and dumping cash
- 32:47Speaker 2: and losing Steph and it's like, okay, so this is
- 32:50Speaker 2: not a rebuild. You got Josh Allen, You're never completely
- 32:52Speaker 2: out of it, but but you transition roster against other years,
- 32:56Speaker 2: this may not be our best shot now here. We
- 32:59Speaker 2: are eight too. We we have a really great balanced offense,
- 33:04Speaker 2: we got great things happening, we got new contributors, and
- 33:07Speaker 2: we got a shot at the one seat my thing
- 33:10Speaker 2: right now. The rest of the way, you've got k
- 33:12Speaker 2: C Detroit, San Francisco and the Rams are the big
- 33:16Speaker 2: I mean, all NFL teams are a threat because they're pros, right,
- 33:18Speaker 2: but the games you're looking at that could really derail US.
- 33:22Speaker 2: K C is conference and it's obviously huge, right, But
- 33:27Speaker 2: I guess I want to see US beat a really
- 33:31Speaker 2: good team like I want to see what do we have?
- 33:34Speaker 3: What do we have?
- 33:35Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not big on this whole. Well, you haven't
- 33:37Speaker 2: beaten a winning record, Well we have, we have, we have,
- 33:40Speaker 2: We've won the games. But man, we got into it
- 33:42Speaker 2: with a good Baltimore team and got smoked. Right now,
- 33:45Speaker 2: I think we're a better team than what we showed
- 33:48Speaker 2: that day, but the outgot different. Now, yes, now we are,
- 33:52Speaker 2: We certainly are.
- 33:53Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 33:54Speaker 2: So I want to see us put it down and
- 33:57Speaker 2: beat Kansas City, not absolutely for the show at the
- 34:00Speaker 2: one seed, but also I want to see what we got.
- 34:02Speaker 2: Are we are we going there? Or is this that
- 34:05Speaker 2: transition year where we're just going to have to deal
- 34:07Speaker 2: with what we got and get stoked for next year whatever?
- 34:09Speaker 3: Right?
- 34:10Speaker 2: So, but that one seed, You're exactly right. Not having
- 34:13Speaker 2: that extra game is an absolute advantage, and I'm I
- 34:17Speaker 2: get home field advantage. We had it, we had it
- 34:19Speaker 2: two years. We had it against Cincy, we had it
- 34:23Speaker 2: against the Chiefs and those are cold weather teams. Whatever.
- 34:27Speaker 2: We just didn't we didn't get it done. Okay, But yeah,
- 34:30Speaker 2: the one seed is a big deal. And whenever we
- 34:32Speaker 2: can beat Casey, I love it.
- 34:35Speaker 3: Now.
- 34:35Speaker 2: I won't be talking much on Twitter until we beat
- 34:37Speaker 2: them in the playoffs, and then I may become absolutely
- 34:42Speaker 2: just unhinged. I may not be tolerable. If we beat
- 34:45Speaker 2: Kansas City in the playoffs. It may not be pretty,
- 34:48Speaker 2: but let's get that one seed lockdown. I'm with you, guys,
- 34:50Speaker 2: I'm all in at this point, but I'm not confident.
- 34:56Speaker 2: I'm not confident because.
- 34:58Speaker 3: Because of the Baltimore game.
- 35:00Speaker 2: Now, because Casey's defense is so good and all, we
- 35:04Speaker 2: got to have our guys back where that's going to
- 35:07Speaker 2: be really tough and Spagnolo knows what to do against against.
- 35:10Speaker 3: Okay, well then, well we always played them closer. We
- 35:12Speaker 3: always play always close game, Scott. They don't come down
- 35:15Speaker 3: to even the playoff game was close game. I mean,
- 35:18Speaker 3: and everybody wanted to blame the drop on stuff and
- 35:20Speaker 3: stuff like that, but I mean it was a close
- 35:21Speaker 3: game down to the wire. It was. We were a
- 35:23Speaker 3: little bit lucky with the you know, with the players,
- 35:25Speaker 3: you know, fumble forced fumble. I think that we were
- 35:27Speaker 3: a little bit lucky. We were on the verge of
- 35:29Speaker 3: it being a blowout. But we don't get blown out
- 35:30Speaker 3: by those guys. DT. What do you are you like, Scott?
- 35:33Speaker 3: Scott's like, you know, he's not expecting to win. I
- 35:35Speaker 3: I I told you guys, I think that the Boogeyman
- 35:38Speaker 3: is dead. I don't I don't fear Mahomes the same
- 35:41Speaker 3: way that I know to a couple of years ago.
- 35:43Speaker 3: Now we can beat them. I'm comforted about that. DT.
- 35:46Speaker 4: Well, go back.
- 35:48Speaker 1: I'm a big you know, I'm a big roulette guy
- 35:50Speaker 1: and talk probability all the time. And if they beat
- 35:53Speaker 1: their Broncos this week and come in at you know,
- 35:56Speaker 1: at nine and all, or would they be ten and
- 35:57Speaker 1: all at that point?
- 36:00Speaker 2: Are they eight?
- 36:00Speaker 3: No?
- 36:00Speaker 4: Right now?
- 36:01Speaker 3: Eight no?
- 36:03Speaker 1: So they'd be nine to oh yeah, okay if they
- 36:06Speaker 1: come in nine and oh, I mean you win. Are
- 36:08Speaker 1: we ever going to see an undefeated NFL champion NFL
- 36:11Speaker 1: team again? You know, we saw the Patriots a couple
- 36:14Speaker 1: of years ago. Uh, well, way more than a couple
- 36:17Speaker 1: of years ago. At this point, we're getting old. But
- 36:21Speaker 1: it's not gonna be undefeated. A couple of years ago
- 36:23Speaker 1: it was Pittsburgh and they weren't really that good. The
- 36:26Speaker 1: Chiefs are a lot better than that, you know, ten
- 36:28Speaker 1: to o team. Even the Eagles rattled off you know,
- 36:31Speaker 1: nine ten wins in a row. And so this team's
- 36:33Speaker 1: gonna lose in the regular season, and obviously the if
- 36:36Speaker 1: they come in at nine to oh, what's the better
- 36:38Speaker 1: probability than in Buffalo, you know late, you know, before
- 36:42Speaker 1: before Thanksgiving, right, So that's that's where I would say,
- 36:47Speaker 1: if I'm outside looking in, I'd have confidence in Buffalo
- 36:51Speaker 1: and just to like you said, we don't get blown out.
- 36:53Speaker 1: Always a good game plan, probably find a way to
- 36:56Speaker 1: win it, definitely find a way to lose it.
- 36:59Speaker 4: But you know, it's it's like it's really more for
- 37:02Speaker 4: us than them.
- 37:03Speaker 1: If if they lose that game, they have a lot,
- 37:05Speaker 1: but you know, there's they're still kind of cool until
- 37:07Speaker 1: the one seed. If we lose that game, the one
- 37:09Speaker 1: seed is basically out a.
- 37:10Speaker 3: Yeah, no degree, I'm talking about it.
- 37:12Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're probably gonna drop. You're probably gonna drop
- 37:14Speaker 2: a game against the Rams, Detroit or Frisco one of those.
- 37:17Speaker 2: Oh my god, you're probably gonna drop one of those.
- 37:20Speaker 2: So we really need and you know, thankfully they're out
- 37:22Speaker 2: of conference, but it starts with overall record, and so
- 37:25Speaker 2: we got to beat the Chiefs for that. We got
- 37:27Speaker 2: to get that win. And I'm you know, don't mistake
- 37:30Speaker 2: my like I know we can, yeah, and I've seen
- 37:33Speaker 2: that we have, but I'm not.
- 37:35Speaker 3: Thinking so many times you don't even want to get
- 37:36Speaker 3: yourself well, and.
- 37:37Speaker 2: I haven't seen it from us this year. Like the
- 37:40Speaker 2: two best teams we faced we've lost to. Now now
- 37:43Speaker 2: that you know, another four minutes of football, we probably
- 37:45Speaker 2: would have beat Houston.
- 37:48Speaker 4: So that one's we're getting our shit kicked in.
- 37:53Speaker 2: We did ourselves no favors man. Yeah, and it took
- 37:57Speaker 2: Nico Collins disappearing in the game. And I've argued with
- 38:01Speaker 2: some people on Twitter about this scout because I have
- 38:05Speaker 2: said what you said.
- 38:05Speaker 3: I've said that like, well, we haven't really beat anybody yet,
- 38:07Speaker 3: and like and then people want to push back and
- 38:09Speaker 3: then well, all you're you're a hater this and that.
- 38:11Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm not a hater. I'm just saying, like
- 38:13Speaker 3: the facts that the opponents from met have been kind
- 38:16Speaker 3: of soft. The Miami game script got way out of
- 38:18Speaker 3: whack quickly. That's week two, you know, and then all
- 38:20Speaker 3: of a sudden you're dealing with short fields. That's why
- 38:22Speaker 3: Josh Allen doesn't have any yards of that game because
- 38:24Speaker 3: everything was on the plus side of the field. I
- 38:26Speaker 3: think that the Baltimore game. What it did for me
- 38:29Speaker 3: was it reaffirmed my previous notions was that everybody eats,
- 38:33Speaker 3: and we've already talked about that DT and I had nausea,
- 38:35Speaker 3: and everybody eats wasn't gonna work. And we knew that.
- 38:37Speaker 3: I knew that at least, and I know that half
- 38:38Speaker 3: of Bill's momfield was buying into it. But I thought
- 38:40Speaker 3: I was bullshit from the beginning. So that's why I
- 38:42Speaker 3: wanted a replacement for Stefan Diggs. Obviously, Brandon Bean does
- 38:46Speaker 3: that a couple of weeks later after that Houston loss,
- 38:48Speaker 3: and we were so happy to see it because the
- 38:49Speaker 3: fact that we need weapons for Josh and he needs
- 38:51Speaker 3: to be surrounded and this committee approach is not going
- 38:54Speaker 3: to work. So now that Amari Cooper is here, I
- 38:57Speaker 3: do feel better about the team. But I just don't
- 38:59Speaker 3: I don't know. I haven't seen Baltimore looks scary to
- 39:03Speaker 3: me offensively, and because they look scary to me offensively,
- 39:06Speaker 3: I'm not sure if we're on their level now, because
- 39:08Speaker 3: that's a game that you're gonna have to score a
- 39:09Speaker 3: bunch of points. Now, we haven't seen a Marii Cooper
- 39:11Speaker 3: be integrated in this offense quite yet, so I don't
- 39:13Speaker 3: have a form enough I haven't I don't have enough
- 39:16Speaker 3: data to form an opinion on what we would do
- 39:17Speaker 3: in a rematch with them. I know we can beat
- 39:19Speaker 3: Houston for sure, I've already seen that, and I know
- 39:21Speaker 3: that we can take care of them. But Kansas City
- 39:23Speaker 3: is like the next bar, It's the next test. So
- 39:26Speaker 3: that's why I'll be so excited for next week. Just
- 39:28Speaker 3: like you talked about Scott, it's because of the fact
- 39:29Speaker 3: that I'll just have a I have a chance to say,
- 39:32Speaker 3: what do we always talk about DT litmus tests? I
- 39:34Speaker 3: want to see what my team has. What are you
- 39:37Speaker 3: really made of? And the only way you find that
- 39:38Speaker 3: out is getting in the ring with another heavyweight, And
- 39:41Speaker 3: we'll have an opportunity to do that now as we
- 39:43Speaker 3: transition to begin to wrap up some great college football
- 39:45Speaker 3: on today. I know that as well. The Nickel City
- 39:47Speaker 3: Crew Tailgate Report presented by Queen City Vintage. Head on

- 41:19Speaker 4: Yeah, So so I'll give him that.
- 41:22Speaker 1: I'll start it from the whole weekend here, please do
- 41:24Speaker 1: you know, so the audience can kind of understand.
- 41:27Speaker 4: I'm not making excuses, but I love it.
- 41:30Speaker 2: All right.
- 41:31Speaker 4: We had the annual three thirty Spooctacular Saturday night.
- 41:39Speaker 3: It's a wonderful.
- 41:40Speaker 1: Halloween party at the Batch. Bad Rob Rob's been in attendance.
- 41:44Speaker 1: This was one of our better ones. We had probably
- 41:46Speaker 1: fifty fifty plus heads uh here you know some obviously
- 41:51Speaker 1: a lot of us are are older now and have
- 41:53Speaker 1: a lot of my friends have families and like, so
- 41:56Speaker 1: this is like the one night everyone can come out
- 41:58Speaker 1: and themselves and have a good time.
- 42:01Speaker 4: We usually try to do it.
- 42:03Speaker 1: Not before a home game, you know, if we're going
- 42:06Speaker 1: to the game. It's tough in away game. You wake up,
- 42:09Speaker 1: you sleep it do eleven, you wake up the game time,
- 42:12Speaker 1: you're good. So I got myself in a little over
- 42:14Speaker 1: book situation. I'll be honest through and and uh, you
- 42:18Speaker 1: know the original Tailgate report.
- 42:20Speaker 4: I just a lot going on. Yeah, fifty plus heads.
- 42:24Speaker 1: The party obviously didn't end early on Saturday, and me
- 42:27Speaker 1: being you know, the host host, I am, I'm the
- 42:31Speaker 1: last of it.
- 42:34Speaker 4: Sunday.
- 42:34Speaker 1: Sunday came around real early, even though we did have
- 42:37Speaker 1: the daylight savings the cl cell back God who knows
- 42:41Speaker 1: that probably legit saved a lot of lives. And it
- 42:47Speaker 1: was just a later start into the morning. I know
- 42:50Speaker 1: they were full bowl Like I got my my phone
- 42:53Speaker 1: ding from from Ben when they hit.
- 42:55Speaker 4: The New York border.
- 42:57Speaker 3: Ye six am, Yeah, I got that.
- 43:00Speaker 4: I might have like I was thinking like, oh man,
- 43:02Speaker 4: I might have just went I might have just fell asleep.
- 43:05Speaker 4: So that was a that was a tough one. A
- 43:08Speaker 4: little later start.
- 43:10Speaker 1: I had to kind of re route and ride with
- 43:13Speaker 1: you know, hitch a ride because I didn't want to
- 43:15Speaker 1: mess with you know, loading up the car and driving myself.
- 43:18Speaker 4: At that point. So say.
- 43:22Speaker 1: So I had to hit the ride and we just
- 43:23Speaker 1: kind of ended up getting there to a little easier
- 43:26Speaker 1: maneuvering lot.
- 43:28Speaker 3: And you know, so I together, Miss Brandon, Yeah, what's that.
- 43:34Speaker 4: Full uh tailgate?
- 43:35Speaker 2: Uh?
- 43:36Speaker 4: So I apologize to that, and I know they had
- 43:38Speaker 4: a good time down there. I definitely miss.
- 43:39Speaker 1: Getting some of that pork shoulder that looked any shout
- 43:43Speaker 1: out and you know the d DJ Ben and and
- 43:46Speaker 1: the girls were getting after it.
- 43:47Speaker 4: So apologize.
- 43:48Speaker 1: I hope we can do it again and be back
- 43:50Speaker 1: and I have a full fresh day and give you
- 43:52Speaker 1: everything the DT usually gives you. But that's the story.
- 43:56Speaker 1: You know, older, Rob, We're getting older, those days are long.
- 44:00Speaker 1: I had to have a little later start than usual.
- 44:02Speaker 3: So there's no judgment my coming from my end. I mean,
- 44:06Speaker 3: I can't. I would never judge you. I love you,
- 44:08Speaker 3: so I would never judge you. Now, it's just so
- 44:11Speaker 3: funny because, like I said, those text messages were going
- 44:14Speaker 3: through on the group chat and you were not responding.
- 44:16Speaker 3: I was like, DT is out for the count, Like
- 44:19Speaker 3: I already know what. I already know him, so I
- 44:21Speaker 3: know that he's out. But it was just so funny.
- 44:23Speaker 3: Now down here in Charlotte, Man, we had a great
- 44:25Speaker 3: time I will get a tailgate report as well from
- 44:27Speaker 3: Scott because that's what we do here in Nichol City,
- 44:29Speaker 3: Crew Scott, so you have to get your tailgate report
- 44:31Speaker 3: and let us know how you enjoyed the game. So
- 44:32Speaker 3: before I go, how did you consume the game on
- 44:35Speaker 3: Sunday there in Ohio? Part of how are you in?
- 44:38Speaker 2: So I'm in West Central Ohio and I'm at the
- 44:39Speaker 2: Mercy of course, NFL scheduling, and so I'm in Brown's
- 44:43Speaker 2: and Bengals country, of course. And if it's not Browns
- 44:47Speaker 2: and Bengals, it's Colts and Steelers. Those are kind of
- 44:50Speaker 2: the hierarchy. So I've been I've been feasting on the
- 44:52Speaker 2: Bills being awesome and catching Prime Time or like the
- 44:56Speaker 2: you know, the Seattle game was because that was the
- 44:59Speaker 2: most compelling game the day that week, and it was
- 45:01Speaker 2: four or five. So my tailgate is a joke. It
- 45:04Speaker 2: was me watching the game on Twitter, which is the
- 45:07Speaker 2: worst way to watch a team you're a rabid fan
- 45:10Speaker 2: of because all you can do is react to the reactors.
- 45:13Speaker 2: Not good. Okay, I'm watching a game on Twitter. Yes,
- 45:17Speaker 2: I've had to rewatch it, and so that was my consumption.
- 45:21Speaker 2: But normally I snack out. I own the living room.
- 45:25Speaker 2: I get custody for about three hours from my wife,
- 45:28Speaker 2: and I do my thing, and I talk to my
- 45:30Speaker 2: people on Twitter. Alistair Sloan is kind of my Twitter buddy,
- 45:34Speaker 2: and I like to listen to guys like you and
- 45:37Speaker 2: watch your stuff and like Bruce Nolan and then you guys.
- 45:40Speaker 2: I'm a big self Oachio fan, and I liked the
- 45:43Speaker 2: bg rcats, so that's kind of how I consume Bill's
- 45:45Speaker 2: football from Ohio. But I'm a Western New York original. Okay,
- 45:50Speaker 2: so you are born and raised though I was born
- 45:51Speaker 2: and raised. Yeah, I went to Forestville High School and
- 45:54Speaker 2: moved to Ohio in nineteen eighty four. Long time, I'm
- 45:57Speaker 2: an old I'm an old cadre, but I'm a bill
- 46:00Speaker 2: like my bills are. Joe Ferguson is my Bill, He's
- 46:04Speaker 2: my guy. So I go back to Nicol City Crew.
- 46:07Speaker 2: Somebody's got to drop this, man, I was.
- 46:10Speaker 3: I was just gonna took the words out of my mouth.
- 46:12Speaker 3: I'm gonna hook you up as soon as we get
- 46:14Speaker 3: off this podcast, because you do not have to go
- 46:16Speaker 3: through that. For sure. There are there are ways that
- 46:19Speaker 3: are either legal or illegal.
- 46:21Speaker 2: I don't otherwise, I got you, wink wink. I need
- 46:24Speaker 2: to get up. I need to get I'm watching like
- 46:26Speaker 2: I like to follow, like Kristen Kimmick and a Abby.
- 46:30Speaker 2: They've made make tailgating come alive, even from Ohio, and
- 46:34Speaker 2: I need to get up there for the right weekend
- 46:36Speaker 2: and visit the mud loot and and hit somebody's tailgates.
- 46:39Speaker 2: I want to go to the Bill's helmet bar. I
- 46:41Speaker 2: want to meet Del Reid. I've got his Bob Ross
- 46:44Speaker 2: sure sat in the Josh Allen Bill's logo, so I'm
- 46:48Speaker 2: like as all in as you can get from New York.
- 46:50Speaker 2: I got my Josh Allen jersey. I got my wa
- 46:52Speaker 2: Wyoming Cowboys jersey, so I'll go ahead to toe in
- 46:54Speaker 2: the gear. My pug has a shirt for the Bills,
- 46:58Speaker 2: and his name is Ferguson. I don't know where that
- 47:00Speaker 2: came from. So we're all from a distance. But I
- 47:04Speaker 2: need to get up there and experience, you know, the
- 47:08Speaker 2: Western New York tailgate experience. And I'll and I'll get
- 47:11Speaker 2: there and I'll make sure to chase down because I

- 48:37Speaker 2: Yeah on Twitter, I'm part of the problem.
- 48:40Speaker 3: So yeah, I got my Tailgate report as we wrap
- 48:43Speaker 3: up tonight. Last week it was just cool, man. We
- 48:45Speaker 3: had everybody over. It seems like it seems like the
- 48:48Speaker 3: baby DT brings everybody to get All of a sudden,
- 48:51Speaker 3: everybody wants to hang out at my house. Everybody the
- 48:53Speaker 3: ex wife's over and and all the kids are here,
- 48:56Speaker 3: and and Jody's here, and like everybody's here. So it's
- 48:58Speaker 3: all of a sudden, I'm just the happening and it's
- 49:00Speaker 3: like I'm not that cool, and oh okay, it's princess
- 49:03Speaker 3: ivey So I'm starting to get it. We've got more
- 49:06Speaker 3: plans for tomorrow as well, but yeah, everybody was chilling.
- 49:08Speaker 3: Last week. We had we had a little bit of
- 49:11Speaker 3: think what do we have last week, Nate, we had
- 49:13Speaker 3: a little bit of everything. Last week. Nate was watching
- 49:15Speaker 3: the game at his buddy's house because they had a
- 49:17Speaker 3: birthday party, but everybody else was here. DT. It was crazy.
- 49:20Speaker 3: I mean it was the pace was packed, everybody's watching
- 49:22Speaker 3: the game, We've got food going and and I was
- 49:26Speaker 3: a nervous wreck, like I said, because of the fact
- 49:27Speaker 3: that we weren't separating. So by the time, by the
- 49:30Speaker 3: time they would go on that last drive, I left, like,
- 49:32Speaker 3: I went to the shed, and you already know, DT,
- 49:34Speaker 3: I'll go and I'll separate myself. And I just went
- 49:37Speaker 3: to the shed. I'm like, I can't deal with the
- 49:38Speaker 3: shit anymore. So everybody was enjoying themselves, enjoying the baby,
- 49:41Speaker 3: and I'm like, why are you guys off Ethic Smiley.
- 49:43Speaker 3: If they go for two, they can beat us and whatever,
- 49:45Speaker 3: you know. So I just went to the shed and
- 49:47Speaker 3: I consume the rest of the game out there in
- 49:49Speaker 3: the shed by myself and I could focus. That's I
- 49:52Speaker 3: felt like Howard Simon or something like that, like he
- 49:54Speaker 3: gets in that little fear bunker, and that's exactly what
- 49:56Speaker 3: the shed has become for me. So that's how we
- 49:58Speaker 3: did it. Down here, man, I appreciate all of your time. Today.
- 50:02Speaker 3: Some wicked college football on today that they said this
- 50:04Speaker 3: is separation Saturday, so I can't wait to get a
- 50:07Speaker 3: chance to look at it. I know the SEC has
- 50:09Speaker 3: got some big matchups that are gonna really decide some seasons.
- 50:13Speaker 3: I think they came up with that college football playoff
- 50:15Speaker 3: little initial one to twelve, and that was cool to see.
- 50:18Speaker 3: So I'm interested in today's college football. Actually, no sports today.
- 50:21Speaker 3: DT Daddy is off the hook. I get the chance
- 50:24Speaker 3: of late horizontal and watch football for the first Saturday
- 50:28Speaker 3: or forever. I'm waking up early at eight o'clock for
- 50:31Speaker 3: a soccer game. I'm like, who, what person in the like?
- 50:34Speaker 3: What kind of are we on? Punishment? We work all
