1:32
the members of the crew that are joining us. Man, this is like
1:36
Christmas in May for me. Man, this is a big deal, a
1:41
big night for me because of the fact that just that the Buffalo Bills mean
1:45
so much to me, and I know they do as to my co host
1:48
as well, and just it's just crazy, man. It's it's funny how
1:51
the NFL just kind of takes over and they just kind of they kind of
1:53
run things when it comes to the fall in the winter, and for somebody
1:59
like me to travel all the way back up to Buffalo four of the games,
2:01
six hundred fifty miles thirteen hundred round trip, it's a big deal for
2:07
me for the schedule because when the schedule comes out, I get a chance
2:09
to kind of map out what the fall and winter are gonna look like.
2:13
I've got two of my three kings are born in the fall. I've got
2:16
Bobby in September and the Nate right after him in October. And it's just
2:21
figuring out birthdays, figuring out birthday parties and when you're gonna be home and
2:24
when you're not gonna be home, and when does this happen, and when
2:28
does this happen? You know, when are you going up? When are
2:29
we gonna get a chance to see my co host and every oh Man,
2:32
Bill's Mafia, Nickel City Crew it's just a big time of year, and
2:37
it's so much fun kind of going through the you know, the speculations and
2:39
different things like that today on WGR. That's kind of all the Today's episodes
2:45
were about. On all of the shows, we're just kind of trying to
2:46
put the puzzle pieces together and figure out which leaks are real and which leaks
2:51
are fake. Joining me live and one scene down in sunny Myrtle Beach,
2:57
South Carolina, getting some well deserved sun. My co host, as always
3:02
Adam Dump Chuck RUPs like, how at the crew DT, how the city?
3:07
What's up from Burtle Beach's city? What's up? What's up? It's
3:10
a beautiful day down in South Carolina. We're down here in Myrtle Beach having
3:15
a great week. Nice to get out of Buffalo for a few days.
3:19
Even though the weather was good up there this week the weather was good.
3:22
We're changing. I think we're all the way there, but uh yeah,
3:24
it's nice down here. Man. We're having a good week. And I
3:29
was looking forward to this day all week. There's been great and great playoffs
3:31
sports all week, but today was the day. Today, it was the
3:35
day. Oh yeah, man, I'm really I'm really really excited because of
3:40
the fact that, like I said, it's just it's just so much of
3:43
the uncertainty. It's kind of you know, it's it's all worked out tonight.
3:46
At eight o'clock tonight, about a half hour ago, the NFL released
3:51
their schedule again. All day today you got some leeks, and then yesterday
3:54
we had the international games that we're announcing. Then we started out our day
3:58
today nicol City Bills Mafia as finding out that the Bills were getting ready to
4:02
go to MetLife Stadium week one Monday Night Football to go battle Aaron Rodgers and
4:08
the newly formed Jets, and that was going to be interesting. And and
4:12
then as the day just kind of progressed, you know, more leaks and
4:14
everything's like that. Now I'm not a leaker. I don't I don't really
4:16
want everything to be ruined. I want my surprise. I want everything that
4:20
I want to open my present and have no idea what's in it. So
4:25
you were sending some leaks, if you were getting some tips down there all
4:28
the way in Myrtle Beach, DT. And I was excited because when you
4:31
set me the actual schedule, all I did, um was look at it
4:34
for two seconds and then I put it away. I got out of your
4:39
name. I was like, I don't want to see this shit. I
4:41
don't want anything ruined or anything like that. So, um, now,
4:44
the schedule you sent me happened to be accurate and happened to be the one
4:46
that everybody, you know, everybody was kind of, yeah, yeah,
4:54
chefter Junior down there in Myrtle Beach. But but listen, man, I'm
4:58
really excited about the schedule. Let's let's dig into a dt because, boy,
5:01
man, we found out, like I said, early this morning,
5:04
that the Bills are going to be going to travel to MetLife Stadium week one
5:10
to battle the New York Jets and their new you know, newly reformed roster
5:14
and they've got their Hall of Fame future quarterback with Aaron Rodgers. And then
5:17
it was just it's just been crazy because everything just happened so fast in respects
5:23
to all of the leaks that came out, and I didn't know what to
5:27
believe and what not to believe. The boy, I'm really really excited that
5:30
the schedules out. It's all official, and there's no war, there's no
5:35
more guessing or anything like that. So Week one, September eleventh, the
5:41
Bills will go to the New York Jets. We will play the New York
5:44
Jets in MetLife Stadium Monday Night Football to start the season. And boy,
5:48
I couldn't be more excited about that. Before we break down all of the
5:53
games and different things like that, I just wanted initial reactions. What did
5:57
you think when you heard this morning DT about the Jets, uh and the
6:00
Week one matchup. I mean, it's it's juicy. They said that,
6:03
you know, ESPN could possibly be trying to um, you know, kind
6:06
of audition to the NFL for their first ever Super Bowl and and maybe kind
6:12
of show what they have to offer as a network. Boy man, it
6:15
said it's gonna be on ESPN and ESPN two and ESPN Plus and HESV and
6:18
the Poor Taste and everybody. Everybody's getting in on the action on this game.
6:23
Week one, Monday Night Football to start the season. Boy, I'm
6:26
really excited about that one. Yeah, Rob, I mean they were kind
6:30
of talking a little bit in the early of this all of maybe the Chiefs,
6:35
you know, we'll open up with the Super Bowl champs that that rematch,
6:39
And I didn't really want that we did that last year we've been on
6:42
the road. I was kind of hoping for a home game. But we'll
6:44
take Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. I think they're gonna be hyped up.
6:46
They got a nice roster Rob and we got to shut him up early.
6:49
You know. Sauce garnerin Sauce Gardner thinks it's easy against seventeen. He said,
6:56
Josh Allen ain't nothing like he's never seen it, you know, come,
7:00
Josh ham So, I think I think week one. I'm excited for
7:02
it. It's prime time. It deserves to be primetime. And yeah,
7:05
let's see the Jets. It's on nine to eleven. There's gonna be a
7:08
lot of emotion in that building. That left crazy. But I think,
7:12
uh, you know, build for Bill. I'm not getting a prediction yet,
7:15
but it's gonna be a good game. Yeah, slower your horses before
7:18
we get predictions, because we will. I'll take it this week one.
7:20
I wanted a home game, but I'll take this this week one. Yeah,
7:24
I definitely want to give predictions before the end of the show tonight.
7:28
And yeah that it's just a cool matchup, you know, to be honest.
7:30
Gotham City and the Bill's going you know, to New York and to
7:34
New Jersey, whether the case may be, and just it just seems fun.
7:38
Um. You can't really write it up any better than that. I
7:41
mean, I would have enjoyed a cupcake like Washington or somebody like that to
7:45
open the season. Um. But you know, to be honest, I
7:47
love the fact that, you know, the Jets fans are full of bravado.
7:51
Excuse me, they're full of themselves. They're feeling themselves right now and
7:56
rightly. So that's fine. Joe Douglas, We've talked about it before.
7:59
It's kind of put together nice little roster and and listen, the Rubbers getting
8:01
ready to meet the road because they have high expectations and they want to go
8:05
to a super Bowl or at least, you know, further than just a
8:09
playoff entrance and breaking their playoff drought that they've got there. So I'm down
8:13
with it. I want to go ahead and beat up Aaron Rodgers nice and
8:16
early, regardless of von Miller is there or not, and ready to go
8:18
week one. I'm ready to get after it and uh, and see what
8:22
the Bills have coming out of training camp in the preseason. So we'll see
8:26
now week two as a schedule, and and we're gonna find some cool trends
8:30
about the schedule dt UM, and one of them is that the one o'clock
8:33
days are really over for the Bills. I mean, it just they're just
8:37
not over. It's funny because it's funny because listen, we've got you know,
8:48
one o'clock is just it's just kind of a staple and it's just something
8:50
that we're just normally used to and and coming up to the stadium and that's
8:54
how you and I met, uh, you know, just you know,
8:56
out there early at the at the grass lots and we're right there, Calloni
9:00
in Southwestern We're out there early and as the sun is coming up, you
9:03
know, everybody's getting together, throwing the football around, You're getting the grills
9:05
ready, the tailgates are all coming together, the music's playing, and it's
9:11
just it's just fun because it's just a time of year where fall winter.
9:16
One o'clock Buffalo Bills. I mean, it just it just speaks Buffalo,
9:20
and it just speaks to the Bills, and it's just it's gonna be few
9:24
and far between. D team. We've got three straight to start the year
9:26
that we don't have another one for a little while as the schedule kind of
9:30
progresses. Week two, the Bills host the Las Vegas Raiders at home home
9:35
opener. We all know that that is like a holiday for Buffalo Bills fans,
9:39
Bills, Mafia, Nickel City Crew. It is like a holiday.
9:43
I cannot wait September seventeenth hosting the Raiders. Man, that's a nice little
9:48
opponent to start the year. Man, I you know, at home,
9:50
Like I like that home slate starting out with the Raiders. I mean,
9:52
it really couldn't get much better than that. Yeah, yeah exactly, I
9:56
mean a little bit once you know, you want the division rival, you
10:00
want that nice opening game, but take a little pressure off you. I
10:03
like Vegas coming in wins it. I mean, it's been eight years since
10:05
they've been here, right, I can't even remember them, Like, it's
10:09
just hard to picture them in the stadium, you know, the Raiders in
10:11
the stadium, And yeah exactly. The opening day is the holiday rob and
10:16
it'll be, you know, one of the first times we see each other
10:18
on the year, I'm sure, and we're gonna get after it and it's
10:22
gonna be a good day. It's gonna be tough for those Raiders to come
10:24
into that stadium, you know, obviously depending what happens the week before in
10:28
prime time. But if that's a win week one, you know, we're
10:31
back, we're jacked up. And if it's a loss, we're jacked up
10:35
and we're a little bit agitated, you know, either way. So it's
10:39
the home opener, man, it is like a holiday. Tough one,
10:41
tough one for the for the Vegas you know, they're living the pretty life
10:45
out there in Vegas and they're coming to the blue collar buffalo. They're they're
10:48
gonna feel that one week two for sure, no matter what happens Week one.
10:52
Yeah, absolutely right, man. I mean it's it's funny because as
10:54
we kind of get into the schedule and get into the teeth of it,
10:58
you know, the home opener really is just like a holiday. I mean,
11:01
it is something that everybody looks forward to. I know a lot of
11:03
people that only go to about one or two games a year, and the
11:05
one game that they always circle to make sure that they're at is the home
11:09
opener. They want to be there, they want to be a part of
11:11
the atmosphere, and it really is an atmosphere um on those days. You
11:16
know, it's just the home opener is just something special about it. The
11:18
football is back. It's in the air. You know. I always talk
11:20
about it and always joke around, but you know, but little song and
11:24
football is in the air, and I mean, it's just it just it's
11:26
the official marking point that Buffalo is back. Football is back, the Bills
11:31
are back. And there's nothing better than mark that event than you know,
11:35
the home opener, which is again it's just an event, really like it.
11:41
Yeah, like the one of the few. This is a straight up
11:43
home opener early September. Weather hopefully is good. It's good, yeah,
11:46
and it's it's it's a great home opener weather wise, vibe wise is going
11:50
to be. You know, the one o'clock is where we know what we
11:52
gotta do. That's where you get the true the true mafia, the true
11:56
Nickel City crew. That's right at the one o'clock games. You we know
12:00
that we're bets. We're bets for that. You know, we'll get into
12:03
everything else. We'll get into everything else, but you gotta watch out for
12:07
us at one o'clock. I like it a lot. I like it a
12:09
lot now week three, September twenty fourth, the Bills will go to Washington,
12:13
d C. The nation's capital, to take on the Commanders. And
12:18
you know, for an opponent coming off of a home opener, you know,
12:22
if you have to go on the road again for the second time in
12:24
a couple of weeks, I don't really have any problems with going to face
12:28
the Washington Commanders and there anything like that. And that seems like a schedule
12:33
where listen, you might be able to get right, you know what I
12:35
mean, you might be able to start the season off three and oh we'll
12:37
go over predictions and different things like that. But it's a situation where listen,
12:41
you know, Sam Hall a new quarterback out there, and you know,
12:43
with the with the Commanders, I don't have any problems going to Washington.
12:46
I know that that will be you know, hyped up atmosphere out there
12:50
for them as well. But on my on on the way that I'm looking
12:52
at it is the Bills are are a buzz saw. We're we're rolling the
12:56
season it started, whether it's you know, you know one to the Jets
13:01
or or whether it's you know, one to oh regardless, by the time
13:03
we go to Washington, DC, to catch the Commanders. Man, it
13:07
should be full swing man, like we should be in our in our groove,
13:09
starting to see a little bit of the offense, starting to see some
13:11
of the new wrinkles that that Ken Dorsey has for the offense. And then
13:16
obviously we've already talked about, you know, Sean McDermott running of the defense.
13:18
So Washington Commanders, one o'clock PM, September twenty fourth, Week three.
13:24
I don't mind it at all, DT. I mean, let's go
13:28
out there and let's go see what's going on with the with the with the
13:30
commanders. Who's QB one out there? Sam? Howe man chaplay? Oh
13:35
boy? Okay, all right exactly? Then week three get back. Yeah,
13:46
they just they are building their roster. They do, got a few
13:48
guys in and out of that thing. But but yeah, QB one's an
13:52
issue. And if you go QB one verus QB one, that's a that's
13:56
an easy toss up. We three. So I like it. I like
14:00
us, get us loose, get us stretched out. A couple more preseason
14:03
games, so I hope that doesn't come back to me. That's fuddy.
14:07
A couple more preseasons now, Week four, the Bills would travel back home
14:11
to Buffalo to host the Miami Dolphins, who, um, you know,
14:15
to be honest, they have given us good fights these last couple of years,
14:18
to be honest, and last year in particular with the three matchups,
14:22
I mean every single one of those matchups DT were close. They were closely
14:26
contested, including the playoff game where we were surprised by the fact that you
14:30
know, we got you know, a rookie quarterback and Skyler Thompson and he's
14:33
out there trying to, you know, will his team to a victory.
14:37
And it just was a weird year for the Bills Dolphins. And you know
14:39
with the first game and the IVY game and Stefan Diggs has fallen out and
14:45
all the players are falling up. Stefon Diggs got double IVS and guys are
14:48
going crazy in that heat to you know, the actual game here in Buffalo,
14:52
which was which it was picturesque, I mean, the snowfall and everything
14:56
was just kind of perfect for that game. They have played us tough man
15:01
Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, you know Tah you know, when he could
15:05
stay healthy. They're they're kind of a matchup that the Bills have had some
15:07
problems with and it'll be interesting to see. But week you know, Week
15:11
four, you know, the Dolphins come in to town October first, one
15:15
o'clock again, a nice little one o'clock game for the Bills that will be
15:18
their third straight. I like it, man, I mean, there's nothing
15:22
about this schedule so far that I don't like. I mean, listen,
15:26
bring him on into town. I know that normally we go down to Miami
15:30
to start the year and then the Bills fans like the fact that the you
15:33
know, the Dolphins come to us late in the year when it's cold and
15:35
snowy. But I don't mind switching up this year. Let's bring him to
15:37
town. Let's see what's going on with tah Let's see how his line is
15:41
protecting him, because obviously the key to their success is going to be how
15:45
long he can stay up right. Yeah, and we talk early in the
15:48
season. Can't be throwing snowballs like we were last year. But Rob,
15:56
like you said, they played us to us in that game at home.
15:58
We're eight in the fourth quarter and Josh Allen literally has to go Superman mode
16:03
to win that thing. So you know, but this this is a must
16:07
win game at home, you know, against the divisional opponent. I don't
16:11
mind it selfishly, I've been talking. I've been telling you about this,
16:14
you know, and oh, my boys, we gotta get to Miami,
16:15
Like I want to go to Miami for this, for these games, and
16:18
it's always so early, it's too hot down there and whatnot. And the
16:22
Bills have felt that. Now let's take him at home early, a nice
16:26
September game again, get back with the boys, get back in the grass
16:29
lot and uh, you know, we don't got to eight put eighteen layers
16:32
on, so the official be comfortable, will be comfortable. And like you
16:34
said, the lead of this schedule, I think this team's gonna have a
16:37
lot of confidence going into this Miami game at home. So so I like
16:41
this. I like this, playing them late away, playing them here early.
16:45
Yeah, man, you know I do like it as well. I
16:48
think the matchup works out well. Week four again October onet one o'clock.
16:52
So we're back to those three straight one o'clock games for the Bills. And
16:55
then everything starts to get a little bit hairy for the Buffalo Bills, to
16:59
say the least. Now we will go across the pond week five October eighth,
17:03
we'll head across the pond to our our British buddies over there, and
17:08
listen, we are gonna go play body. Yeah, we're gonna go play
17:11
the Jacksonville Jaguars, who might as well be called the London Jaguars. They'll
17:17
be the first team ever to stay back to back weeks in London. They'll
17:19
be playing over there the week prior. I don't know who they're playing,
17:22
and then they'll I think it's the Titans or somebody like that, and then
17:25
they'll come up and play us. I think if it's the Falcons, and
17:29
then they play us the following week, Week five October eighth, nine thirty
17:33
am DT. Now we're going to have to get our breakfast tonight. We
17:38
are gonna have to get our breakfast game one eggs. Yes, you need
17:42
your tea and crumpets. You need everything ready for that one. Nine thirty.
17:48
Don't oversleep at Bill's Mafia. Don't oversleep at Nicol City Crew because you
17:51
could miss it. That one. You have to get up four. You
17:53
don't have to be concerted effort. But nine thirty am man at Tottenham Hotspur
17:57
Stadium. Now the interesting Yes, The interesting I thought that is that,
18:03
you know, that's the stadium that the Bills kind of have have looked at,
18:07
you know, for their stadium renderings and have looked at for some of
18:11
their inspiration for the new Buffalo Bill Stadium, which will again they just broke
18:15
ground. You saw that on our Instagram. Thomas was there for the groundbreaking
18:18
ceremony. Twenty twenty six will be here before you know it. But in
18:22
the meantime, whoever wants to see this game will have an idea, at
18:26
least a loose idea of what the stadium will look like, what a feel
18:29
of it will will be. Again, they're promising sixty five percent of the
18:33
stadium will be covered by this half canopy. Um, we're gonna see what
18:38
it's all like and what it kind of looks like from the outside and from
18:41
the inside. UM on TV at least if you're not over there in person.
18:45
But nine thirty am, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Jaguars and the Bills.
18:51
Man, I mean, good ay mate, mate. For sure,
18:55
I know a lot of people going going on to this one. I won't
18:57
be attending, you know, if it was the Broncos. My roommate shout
19:02
out Zach lu By roommate, big Broncos fan. We might have we might
19:07
have thought about it, but not going to London this year. And okay,
19:08
yeah, nine thirty English Premier League. That you gotta be up,
19:15
man, that one of the best. You want to hit it too hard
19:18
Saturday night, man, you could miss you can get up. That's four
19:22
weeks in a row of those early games. But but yeah, like you
19:26
said, tags and eggs mimosas maybe, so think of that, Robin.
19:30
If we're at the tailgate, if we're at the grass lots at you know,
19:33
for one o'clock game, we're there at no later than seven before the
19:38
security guards even get there. You're a nine thirty game, that's what six
19:42
hours, seven hours, seven hours, So that puts us at the lots
19:48
at two thirty am. Yes for the London game. Yeah, I don't
19:52
think I've promise you that, Nicolay. I can't promise you that, but
19:56
it's at least gonna be seven Oh my goodness, gracious, I mean you
19:59
are not lied about that. That morning will be something interesting for me as
20:03
well. Again, make sure that you do not hit it too hard on
20:06
Saturday night because you could blink, and it could be the fourth quarter and
20:08
you're wondering what the hell's going on because you missed the entire game. It
20:12
is over in London, nine thirty am. Jaguars at the host Bills.
20:17
Technically we are the host team for that matchup against the Jaguars. Now a
20:21
week later. Now again, after you get back from London. A lot
20:23
of teams can request their bye week if they want it. The Bills have
20:26
elected to pass on that opportunity there. Bye week is not until later in
20:30
the year, as we'll get to. So it's interesting right after the late
20:34
early game, excuse me in London. We come back week six, October
20:37
fifteenth against the New York Giants Primetime TV eight twenty at night, man,
20:45
I mean Sunday Night Football DT. Man. This is the start of the
20:49
little bit of a run for the Bills where it's like, what is going
20:52
on, Like we must be a main attraction the Giants. Brian Dable,
20:57
Joe Shane, everybody coming back, um to the Bills, to the to
21:02
the scene of the crime. Man. I mean, it's the it's the
21:04
it's the mentor, I mean it's it's everybody is coming back, man,
21:08
everybody gets a chance to kind of hash out their differences. I'm a dable
21:12
guy. You know that I've been a dable guy. Um. I mean,
21:17
listen, I think that we kept the wrong you know, wrong coach.
21:19
It's fine. The Bugulus were never gonna fire Brian Dables. We talked
21:22
about last season. However, Um, I'm lamenting the fact that he's gone.
21:27
It looks like he's running a nice program out there in the meadowlands.
21:32
And listen, they're here, They're in town. Sunday Night football under the
21:37
lights. Maan eight twenty October fifteenth, Week six. I like the matchup,
21:41
man, I mean this is I mean, this is the teacher and
21:44
the student. Man, what what do y'all want? Man? I mean
21:47
all of the narratives are right there for you. They call the Giants Bills
21:51
Junior like, I mean, everything is right there for you for the taking.
21:53
End this one, you could pick any narrative. Is that that's Sunday
21:56
night, Yes, yes, Sunday night football. Man at all first first
22:03
home, be able. We tasted that with the Packers on how lloween last
22:07
year, right, the NFC Sunday Night game. You know that's that's interesting,
22:11
that's interesting. I don't see another opponent i'd like more in that situation,
22:15
and like you said, and not they're gonna be That's a test right
22:18
there. That's a test for sure, and a game that can get overlooked,
22:22
you know, Sunday night, I think you open up how the season
22:25
should start. Even if the Giants are having a good year, the Bills
22:27
are opening up a touchdown favorite in that game pretty much. What okay,
22:33
you know, it's what I would say, because but that's that's a tough
22:36
you know, the dab dab wants wants to get his. He wants to
22:40
get his like you said, So yeah, that's a matchup that's I don't
22:45
know how much, but I think Bills are a touchdown touchdown favored in that
22:48
one really, no matter what happens in the first other than the Bills going
22:52
over and then you know everything in between. But I think the Bills open
22:57
that one over a touchdown and that's a matchup you definitely can't overlook, but
23:02
gonna be an exciting one for the first night game of the year. Get
23:03
in there. It's you know, we again, We're gonna have to get
23:07
used to these tailgating times and whatnot. But absolutely long your tailgates for sure.
23:12
You know, like it'll be interesting, you know, October fifteenth,
23:15
right in the middle of October, and you know, just it'll be interesting
23:18
just because just this the whole Brian Dable man, Like it's just you know,
23:22
the Bills are are a great team and they've run a great program and
23:25
Brian Dable was a part of that. You know, some of Josh Allen's
23:27
success has to be directly linked to Brian Dabele. If you don't want to
23:30
give him credit, that's up to you. I mean, if you want
23:33
to put everything on Josh to say that he did everything on his own,
23:36
then I think you're being a little bit naive. Part of Brian Dable's job
23:40
when he first got here was raining in a wild horse. I watched the
23:44
Kentucky Derby last week, you know DT and like, you know, those
23:47
jockeys are on those horses and they're trying to get them to do a certain
23:51
thing. And that's kind of how it was with Josh Allen. He had
23:52
a low completion percentage at Wyoming, and he was full of raw traits and
23:56
different things like that. Brian Dabele has a lot to do with his success
24:00
of him coming into the league and being u into the superstar uh, you
24:04
know, stardom that he's in now. So I'm excited to see, you
24:07
know, Brian Day will come back home and then see what he's got for
24:10
the Bills. It'll be a great matchup primetime TV. I'm definitely looking and
24:15
I'll have all eyes on, you know, Sean McDermot to see what he
24:18
does in that game now, Week seven, October twenty second. A week
24:22
later, the Bills will travel to Foxboro for the first time one o'clock and
24:26
that is the last one for a while for the one o'clocks Bill's Mafia Nickel
24:30
City Crew. That is it for a while. The Bills travel to Gillette
24:33
Stadium one o'clock PM, October twenty second, that is week seven, to
24:37
go against I guess Mac Jones and and you know Bill Belichick and whoever else
24:44
they're they're thinking of, you know, bringing out against us. Man,
24:45
it'll be interesting because I don't have a lot of faith in the Patriots.
24:49
I know that they're you know, projected as fourth in the AFC East.
24:52
That's coming up here. It'll be interesting, man. Week seven, we
24:56
should know a little bit more about our team by then, same thing or
25:00
the Patriots, I mean, nowhere to hide on that one go on the
25:03
road. We've dominated that team. We've controlled pretty much every game that we've
25:07
played against them these last couple of years. It'll be interesting to see how
25:11
we handle that matchup. Yeah, we're really not a lot of tests up
25:15
until then. You know, when you go into Fox room, Bill Belichick
25:18
and we're scarred, Rob the old the old guard ist scarred. We're never
25:22
going in there, even if you know, no matter who's their quarterback,
25:26
no matter what's going on, you're never overlooking the Patriots and Billichick. It's
25:30
just Yes, it's just part of the in our blood. You know,
25:33
we use traumatic. But going might be you know, with not a lot
25:40
of tests on the schedule, that's the divisional game. You got to go
25:42
in and take care of it. That's a very business trip, that situation.
25:47
You know, at that point in the season, what are we at
25:48
weeks seven? Yeah, that's week seven, week seven, you know,
25:52
so you know, hopefully five and two or yeah, or hopefully six and
26:02
so this game is one of those wins either way you put it. Yeah,
26:07
it'll be interesting. I mean, one o'clock. That'll be the last
26:08
one o'clock game for a little while for the you know, for us and
26:11
something that we are going accustomed to during the drought, and now that we
26:15
are the marquee, it really kind of just changes up the bills. Week
26:18
eight October twenty six, that's a Thursday night, will be the first of
26:23
three straight eight o'clock games, and the first of five straight at least four
26:30
o'clock games. So let us break it down. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers come
26:33
to Buffalo eight fifteen Thursday night. That's usually an Amazon Prime game now that
26:40
Amazon took over the Thursday night package. I mean, wow, man,
26:44
I mean that is that's such a great opponent just because of the party.
26:47
I want a party anytime there's a night game, I'm looking for a party.
26:51
I'm looking for fun. I'm looking for everybody to have a great time.
26:55
Like you talked about, the tailgate is pushed back a little bit later,
26:56
but then the true fans, like us, we still show up at
27:00
that max time. We're showing up six hours early, five hours early,
27:03
seven hours early. If we can get into that lot. They're at the
27:07
grass loots. We are out there. We're ready to go. You know,
27:08
I'm frying a turkey. You know, I'm you know, doing a
27:11
pull pork. I'm doing a show, a pork show that I'm doing something
27:15
for those games, those night games. Those night games are so fun to
27:18
see the Bills under the lights. And I just love the night games just
27:22
because of the fact that it kind of just it just puts us under the
27:25
spotlight where there's not many other games on. Most of the time, when
27:29
it's those primetime games, you're the only show in towns. Every now and
27:32
again you'll get a Monday night football that'll be a doubleheader. But most of
27:34
the time, when you're on those Sunday night, Monday night, Thursday night,
27:37
you are the marquee show. And I'm so excited about those games because
27:41
they highlight Buffalo, especially when they're at home. The bucks Man coming to
27:45
Buffman Coming the Orchard Park October twenty six week eate DT. I mean,
27:52
I'm down with it. What does that blame? I don't even know who
27:53
plays quarterback, Kyle Trash. I mean, you know, Baker Mayfield.
27:57
It's all good man, give it to me in doses. I'm down for
28:00
a night game against the bucks Man. I'm down, down for all of
28:03
them. Bring me all that smoke, come down three three words, paid
28:10
time off all day. That's a nice long weekend for the mafia right there.
28:18
That's nice for the long weekend for the mafia. Right there. You're
28:21
going you got the Bucks? You kidding me? Now that Tom Brady?
28:25
You said Baker Mayfield? Who I mean? I'll admit I got a video
28:27
out there after the playoff game when we lose to Jacksonville saying I want to
28:30
Baker Mayfield get drafted. And then the draft Josh Allen, I was fine
28:33
still with it, but Baker Mayfield, come on, pick number one.
28:38
Overall, it's your third your third team. The Bucks had had Brady and
28:45
that was their chance. So I like that PTO. Nice long weekend for
28:48
the mafia. Yeah, man, you get a chance to enjoy the weekend
28:52
games for sure. Starting everything off on that Thursday night. Now the next
28:56
week, boy, will that be something emotional and something crazy you talk about
29:00
seeing to the crime b It's we're right back to where everything really started.
29:04
And and you know, just I'm just so excited, so happy that DeMar
29:08
Hamlin has been cleared, so happy that he's gonna continue to pursue his football
29:12
dreams again. There are no medical restrictions that have been put on DeMar Hamlet.
29:18
He is coming back to the Buffalo Bills obviously. Who haven't you know,
29:21
an uphill battle to make the team. And I don't know about his
29:23
status and different things like that, but in the safety room he might have
29:26
a shot to still make the team. Week nine, November fifth, eight
29:30
twenty at night, it's the Bills Bengals. We will try this again,
29:36
Sunday night football again. One of those primetime games where you are the main
29:41
show. You are the main attraction. Nothing better than that, man.
29:44
I mean, listen, some people I know I heard you know some people
29:47
on w GR Joe DIBIASI wanted the Bengals early in the year because he wanted
29:51
to get that taste out of his mouth from the playoffs and stuff like that.
29:53
I have no problem with these guys. Smack dab in the middle.
29:56
You've got Bond Miller back. Hopefully by that time you've got all of your
30:00
you know, all of your guys are pretty much firing on all cylinders hopefully
30:03
obviously again injuries aside. I don't I don't I love it, man,
30:07
like week nine. That's a perfect spot, middle of the season, smacked
30:11
up in the middle. Let's go get it man. Listen, the Bengals
30:14
were up on US seven to three when Damar Hamlin went down. Then obviously
30:18
the tragedy happened, and then he's okay, So obviously it's a it's a
30:21
story that we can all celebrate now that he's okay the playoff game. We
30:25
don't need to go back over that tonight, because that's how shitty that was.
30:27
So Listen, the Bengals have kind of had our number, to be
30:30
honest, they have kind of had a number. They are not scared of
30:33
the Bills, they are not intimidated by us. They came into our house
30:37
and handed it to us, outcoached us. I heard some stuff about that
30:40
as well this week on WGR, and people don't really want to talk about.
30:44
Listen, we were outcoached. Not only were we outplayed, and some
30:45
people want to say that we were out of gas that day, we were
30:48
also out coached. Sean McDermott was outcoached clearly by Zach Taylor that day.
30:53
Go back to pay Court Stadium, Go figure it out, Go go get
30:57
your revenge, man. We'll play We'll play the prevenge opening on that one
31:00
DT. I mean, it's it's payback week man. Yeah, I mean
31:04
we're talking we all year about Sean McDermot not having any excuses now that he's
31:11
on the defense. Well, this is no excuses now right we're week nine.
31:17
There's a lot of teams you can be early on in this in this
31:18
schedule to come into this Bengals game where it's it's it's no no hiding.
31:25
Then you know there's no hiding. It's it's it's right up. There's no
31:29
excuses, and you've got to be ready by week nine. It's not it
31:32
was it was too early, it was too late with there's injuries. Week
31:34
nine, your team should be pretty much like you said, prime and attack.
31:38
Von Miller should be back and you take care of business. No excuses,
31:41
no place to hide in that game. So it's gonna be a tall
31:45
tale, tall tales sign. We'll either take care of it and okay,
31:49
we crossed that hurdle or they get us again. And and you know how
31:55
how gr is going to react to that and the months it's going to be
32:00
my black the first loss of the season where we're talking everywhere. Yeah,
32:07
but no excuse game straight up. I like it in that spot because it's
32:12
it couldn't be more clear. You win this or you lose this, and
32:15
it tell there's no excuses anywhere anywhere you put it. Yeah, man,
32:17
there there's definitely nowhere to hide, Nowhere to hide for mcdervott, nowhere to
32:22
hide for Ken Dorsy or anything like that. So you get a chance to
32:24
see what's what and and hopefully again both squads are full and healthy and ready
32:30
to go, because I don't want any caveats. I don't want to hear
32:32
about cleats anymore. I don't want to hear about footing, and I just
32:36
don't want to hear about any more excuses about what is going on and what
32:39
was the problem every time you play the Bengals. I understand that themar Hamlin
32:43
was an anomaly, but boy, you have an opportunity to go out there
32:45
and kind of snatch back some of your respectability because boy, I mean,
32:50
the Bengals came in and they just they really did take it to us.
32:52
So it'll be interesting to see for sure. Now the third straight primetime game
32:58
we tend we are still not even to the bye week yet, November thirteenth,
33:02
the Bills will battle the bank. Excuse me, the Broncos right at
33:07
home again, another game where I mean it's primetime. Everything is happening.
33:13
Monday Night football at home against the Broncos. I mean three straight weeks D
33:17
two. You you have to be a team that is in the line light
33:22
for you to get three straight primetime games. The Bills do that. Here,
33:24
Russell Wilson coming to town. Maybe he'll bring Sierra with them. Maybe
33:28
not a boy. I know that that they've got to travel all the way
33:30
across the country. Monday Night Football, November thirteenth, Week ten against the
33:35
Broncos. Man, let's let mean, let's go, man, let's ride.
33:38
Its resting saying let's ride. Yeah, I mean another PTO type of
33:45
situation. You know, probably anybody else they got some careful yep, I'd
33:52
be I'd be taken off. I probably might not be going to this game.
33:57
But because it's the Broncos again. Got shout out the roommate, Zach
34:00
will By. Here, we're coming at you. Boy. You think it
34:04
was a fluke last year, Russell Wilson, you think it was a fluke
34:07
of you know, they were no good, but they're gonna come back.
34:09
Sean Payton's nice. I don't think their roster is decent all the way around,
34:14
but we hope they're not as good as they should be. And this
34:17
this just continues a nice home stomping, similar to the Titans h Titans home
34:22
opener in Monday Night last year. It's it happens. They come in,
34:27
take care of business. It's a long flight back to elevation in Denver.
34:30
Uh, look out, Broncos because anyway you put it, you either beat
34:37
the Bengals the week before and your juice or you lose. And this is
34:39
the back on track game. So Broncos are screwed in this one. That's
34:45
funny. Shout out to Seth Brown Hollow as he did say that the giant
34:49
spread is all the books right now it builds minus seven and then again shout
34:53
out to our boy. No ever go he says, five one o'clock games
34:57
out of seventeen WT. I mean, Noah, that's this is you are
35:01
in a different category now, many of the stuffed up you got yourself a
35:06
franchise quarterback. This is how this is how they live, man, This
35:08
is how we live, man. It's like MTV cribs. Welcome to my
35:12
crib. This is this is how we live now, man. I mean
35:15
those one o'clock games are just they're just not on the menu as much,
35:19
man. So that'll be funny. It'll be interesting to see Sean Payton.
35:22
Obviously, they paid Russell Williams, Russell Wilson all that money, so they'll
35:25
see if they get a return on their investment. Monday Night Football November thirteenth
35:29
again, week ten now after that again five straight weeks of at least no
35:35
one o'clock games. So four twenty five, the Bills will get a chance
35:37
to play at home against the New York Jets and Aaron Rodgers, mister Rogers
35:42
in the neighborhood. As I talked about before, four twenty five PM.
35:46
That'll be interesting, man. November nineteenth, that's a Sunday, right after
35:51
the Monday Night game. Man, he's coming to town. Like, we
35:54
have to have something special for mister Rogers. I mean, like I love
35:58
when the Packers came to town. I love the Rambow game eight years ago
36:00
or whatever it was. That was a fun game to be at. Jordy
36:04
Nelson drops that big touchdown pass and then I mean it was just fun last
36:08
year. I mean, last year, I had no problems. Now.
36:10
The funny thing about it was that's when our bill started acting weird on offense.
36:15
Was right around that Green Bay game, d too. You know.
36:17
You know, I'm not lying about that. The offense was acting fucking weird
36:22
and it was really really hard to get a grasp on it. And we
36:24
kind of wrote that thing out all the way through the Bengals game in the
36:28
playoffs. I mean, Aaron Rodgers is in the neighborhood. We have to
36:31
welcome him to the AFC east Man. This is not Green Bay, this
36:36
is not the NFC Northman. We have to welcome him to Green Bay.
36:39
We have to welcome them to the AFC east Man. I mean, we
36:42
have to give him a nice, hardy walsome. He's never won in the
36:46
stadium, really, I guess that, man. I know eight years ago
36:50
was Riccaria Rambow and I remember that game and how much fun I had.
36:52
I think that was a Monday night Yah, yeah, I think that was
36:55
a Monday night game or something like that. Then they hit him on a
36:59
holloween last year, Yeah, we were there for that way. I don't
37:01
think they've won I don't think it's because they would have been eight years before
37:05
that. He hasn't been in the league that long. Yeah, I get
37:07
you might be right, you might be right. All right, Well,
37:10
hopefully that stays true in this matchup. And you know, that's a lot's
37:14
gonna do with the Week one matchup, and it's gonna directly correlate. But
37:19
um, like the shout out real quick to my brother in Mon Derek,
37:22
and my mother Shelley, and my phone was dying and we're back here in
37:25
the in the rental house. The up. We'll show them at the end
37:34
of the at the end of the broadcast here. But yeah, they got
37:37
me hooked up. We're plugged in. We can place the show. So
37:39
he shot out to them and yeah, Jets are going down in this home
37:44
home matchup. Yeah, man, it'll be interesting to see because I know
37:46
that you know, the Bills the Jets. You know, it's a budding
37:51
rivalry, to be honest with you. You know, they are the team.
37:53
The Jets are the team that played Buffalo well, to be honest,
37:57
they've had they've had really good success us against the Bills. You know,
38:00
Robert Sala he's had a good game playing against the Bills. Obviously, Josh
38:04
Allen suffers his little elbow injury during that game, so you know, obviously
38:08
we know that they're not going to be scared us or anything like that.
38:10
We'll see them week one, and then after that we'll see how it works
38:14
out, because it'll be later in the season again. Week eleven, November
38:17
nineteenth, the Jets come to Buffalo four twenty five. Now another four twenty
38:22
five till right after that, before the Bills bye week week twelve, November
38:25
twenty six, we will go to play the NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles for twenty
38:30
five again a late afternoon game, prime time in that respect, you know
38:35
that afternoon window where all the eyes are on all those few games in the
38:38
afternoon. Man, listen, right before the bye week the Eagles. There's
38:43
no better test for you to come out of a bye, to go into
38:46
a bye than the way that the Bills have a bookend with the Chiefs and
38:50
with the Chiefs and the Eagles Eagles first before the bye than the Chiefs afterwards.
38:53
But boy, week twelve, November twenty six, Eagles, Man,
38:57
I mean that is that man, can That's that's a good libmus test.
39:00
At least we'll put it like that. That's a really good libmus test.
39:04
How are you going? How is your season going? You're going to really
39:07
find out a lot of answers about your team by that game. Yeah,
39:09
grit knows football baby. Four twenty five what we never thought we'd get into.
39:15
And that's all weak. They're they're saying Jim Nance Tony romarin't gonna be
39:17
on a lot of Bills games because I guess they're playing four twenty five.
39:23
But yeah, the Super Bowl, NFC, NFC champions last year, that
39:30
roster I think is the best in the NFL. Roping the bottom. You
39:32
know they are good and that that's a tough one on the road. Philly
39:37
fans are similar to the Mafia, and they don't take no shit, and
39:39
they that's gonna be a battle four twenty five. That's that's not a little
39:44
trock though. For Mafia to come down for you, maybe come up from
39:47
Charlotte. Who knows, who knows what that Philly game looks like. But
39:52
I think that's gonna be I think that's gonna be a nice one. Which
39:54
way you put in your four twenty five is I like that slot? It's
40:00
like it's not prime time, but it is. It's all all our lives.
40:02
The best team played at four twenty five. Yeah, there you are.
40:07
You're absolutely right. You know you got those one o'clock games and then
40:08
the afternoon games. There's only normally about you know, you know, three
40:13
or four of them. And they definitely put some of those primetime matchups.
40:15
One on Fox, one on CBS. So we'll see the Bills at Eagles
40:20
week twelve, November twenty six. Again, it'll be an interesting matchup.
40:23
You have a great litmus test as you enter the bye week again, as
40:27
I alluded to earlier. After the bye week, you come out another great
40:30
test, a familiar foe, somebody that we are very used to seeing.
40:36
Whether it be regular season postseason, it does not matter. Patrick Mahomes formerly
40:39
the Boogeyman. He is not the Boogeyman to be anymore, but formerly the
40:44
Boogeyman. We go to Arrowhead to play the Chiefs week fourteen, December tenth.
40:49
That'll be man. I mean, anytime you match up with that guy,
40:53
uh, it's it's it's just something crazy that could happen anytime that you
40:58
match up with them. That could happened where they could beat you. You
41:00
could beat them. You've seen us handle them before that. You've seen them
41:04
handle us. You've seen us losing a flukey way. You've seen them winning
41:07
the flukey way. What is it like, man, I mean, coming
41:09
out of a bye week, those are really two good games. I mean
41:13
that might be my circle on the calendar, Man, will be those two
41:15
games right around a bookending the bye week. Man the Chiefs on the Road,
41:22
Arrowhead, four twenty five pm. Man, I don't know, Man,
41:24
I just I love playing against those guys because I love um, you
41:28
know, Iron Sharpen's Iron DT And sometimes you have to go up against the
41:31
best of you know, you gotta beat the best. You want to be
41:32
the best, you gotta beat the best. Going to play the defending champs,
41:36
man on the road at their house, I'm sure everybody's gonna be primed
41:39
up for that game. Two points on this one, Rob, the one
41:44
being if you had to the team on your schedule where you're you're literally gonna
41:50
be. This is the top game. The Bengals are close second, but
41:53
the Chiefs are your biggest rival at this point. This is the you have
41:58
to beat them due to win the Super Bowl. They they've proven that and
42:00
they continue to obviously winning last year, knocking us side of the playoffs in
42:05
two years before that. You have to get them to win the super Bowl.
42:07
So why what would be the best spot to have them after the bye?
42:13
Right after the bye would be ideally, this is ideal. Everybody's Yeah,
42:19
why if you had to pick any week this season, the face the
42:23
Chiefs would be after the bye, and it is, you know, after
42:25
a tough game of the egos. So I think that's going to sharpen them
42:29
up. Even if they're getting dull at that point, that ego's being sharpens
42:31
them up. The bye week, it'sn't even sharper and ideal to see the
42:35
Chiefs after that. Point two is Sean McDermott after a bye pretty much unbeatable.
42:39
That means John Allen after a bye pretty much unbeatable. So ideal situation
42:45
to see the Boogeyman if you will in this spot. Yeah, I mean
42:50
it'll be interesting because I mean you can't hide, you can't run from them
42:53
or anything like that. So you better you better be ready to play them,
42:57
and you better be ready to take down their weapons. Again, It's
43:00
funny because you know the year that they lose Tyreek Hill, we're all wondering
43:04
and we all pontificating, and you know, how are we going to figure
43:07
out how to take care of them? Is it gonna take care of their
43:08
offenses? Their office is gonna be shitty now. And boy, they didn't
43:13
miss me. They won the whole thing last year, so I mean it
43:16
was just it was remarkable, um, to be honest, And you know,
43:20
to win a Super Bowl you need a little bit of luck. They
43:21
got some luck as well last year. But boy, they're a great team.
43:23
Anytime that they have fifteen, they're going to be in the game.
43:25
They're gonna have an opportunity to win, and it'll be interesting because I mean,
43:30
I'm not again, he's not the Boogeyman to be anymore because I have
43:34
seen the Bills beat him. But he is a he's a tough cookie.
43:37
I was wrong, DT. I mean another four twenty five Gays. We've
43:40
got four straight four twenty five games. Let a little all the night game.
43:45
We got four here are four twenty five cats. Like you said,
43:50
man, we the Bills. On December seventeenth, week fifteen, we will
43:53
host the Cowboys, I mean them them boys I mean the Cowgirls. Listen,
44:00
it's always fun. I'll never forget that Monday night football game against Tony
44:05
Romo and the six turnovers and I couldn't believe we lost and I was at
44:07
that game. I'll never forget that game. Just such crazy memories of that
44:12
Monday night football game. Boy man, we are right in the thicket things
44:15
Man Week fifteen December seventeenth, right before Christmas, the Bills will host the
44:20
Cowboys at the stadium, And I mean it's another situation where you've got another
44:24
opponent coming in with high expectations for themselves. It's up to you to kind
44:30
of, you know, answer the bell. Many where are you? You
44:32
know, who do you want to be? What do you want this season
44:35
to be? There's nowhere to hide on the schedule for the Bills, to
44:37
be honest. I think they said the Bills have like the third hardest schedule
44:39
in the league this year, So there's really gonna be there's nowhere for you
44:43
to duck this year. And I've been warning Bills monfi, I've been warning
44:45
Nickel City crew all there's really nowhere for anybody to hide, nowhere to hide.
44:49
For mcdermot's nowhere to hide for Ken Dorsey or anybody like that. Same
44:52
thing with the opponents on the schedule. This schedule will be tough. This
44:55
will not be us, you know, a sixteen and one season or any
45:00
like that. So you shouldn't think that way. You shouldn't be um setting
45:02
your expectations that way. Manage your expectations. Understand that this is a really,
45:06
really hard schedule. I mean, December seventeenth, week fifteen, the
45:10
Cowboys come to town. You know they're gonna try to put on a show.
45:14
You know they're gonna try to put on a good test for the Bills.
45:15
Man. I mean, what do you think, DT this is?
45:19
This is a crazy schedule, man, The schedule is crazy. Yeah.
45:23
I can't believe it's been already been eight years since the Cowboys played here last
45:27
time. And Keylan Moore, uh well he got fired now, but the
45:30
Keela Moore was their quarterback. It was yeah, yeah, sorry Kellen Moore.
45:36
He was a It was cold, it was rainy. You know,
45:38
my man, Brandon Morgan's the next seat. Next day, literally looked at
45:43
me and goes, I lost my motor skills. It's so cold, like
45:49
that was the last Cowboys game. I remember, and that's already been eight
45:51
years, so you know, time flies, I guess in this league.
45:53
And last time was a Thanksgiving game we had him and Josh Allen took care
45:58
of him. So it's it's a nice matchup. I'm glad to have him
46:00
at home. That's that's got draft game written all over it. That's an
46:04
away game with the roster they got and Michael Parsons trying to reak havoc and
46:08
Dak Prescott as mediocre as he is, and Tony Pollard and the whole of
46:14
that gang is going to come in. You know, they're they're gonna be
46:15
in the race at that point in the NFC with the Eagles and whatnot too,
46:19
So that's as much as it's the NFC, you know, kind of
46:22
whatever game, it's both teams are gonna be fighting for that, you know,
46:25
hopefully that number one seed at that point in the season. So it's
46:29
gonna be a big one. I'm glad in four twenty five get a little
46:31
more eyes on it. You know, we'll see what happens. But that's
46:35
that's gonna be a pibble matchup. Even though it's NFC, it's late in
46:37
the season. Both these teams will be playing for that one. Yeah,
46:39
it will be. It will be interesting for sure, because um, like
46:44
I said, you know, like you like you just talked about, everybody's
46:45
got expectations, everybody has things that they want to get accomplished. Dallas,
46:50
obviously, those fans are just insufferable. They always think that they're on the
46:52
cusp of the Super Bowl. Always think of them the cusp of within the
46:55
NFC East and all this other stuff. So, uh, you know,
46:59
by that time of the year, I'm sure that everybody will be in full
47:01
swing and Stephen A. Smith on ESPN making fun of the Cowboys and all
47:06
this other stuff. So it'll be it'll be interesting. It'll be fun to
47:08
see. Right before the holidays roll around, the Cowboys will come to town.
47:12
So after that the season is starting to wrap up. Three games left.
47:16
It's funny how the schedule works out, because I mean, as Bills
47:20
have been home away, home away, that kind of thing for a little
47:22
while. Now we go on the road to LA to play the Chargers DT
47:27
and would you know it, it's another primetime game eight o'clock on Saturday,
47:32
December twenty third, So that's Christmas Eve Eve, and I know that they
47:37
announced the Christmas Games today and then the Christmas Eve games most everybody plays.
47:42
Then they select a few teams to play on that actual Saturday. Bills,
47:45
of course, were picked to play on that Saturday, so it won't mess
47:50
with anybody's Christmas plans too much or Christmas Eve plans or anything like that.
47:53
But the Bills at the Charges week sixteen eight o'clock PM from SO five Stadium.
47:59
What a beautiful and that is, Man, I mean we don't get
48:01
a break man like we are really we are the bar Key dt like Dove
48:06
Truck. We are the bar Key. Another prime time game as the season
48:09
starts to weigh down. Man, eight o'clock December twenty third, Christmas Eve
48:14
Eve. Another beautiful long weekend for the mob. Yes, we talked,
48:21
we talked. You know, everyone's out of work Friday. You get into
48:23
Christmas weekend Saturday. What are you doing before Christmas Eve? It's kind of
48:28
a dud day, not anymore a PM game day. You get it,
48:31
you get started with the Bills game, you get into Christmas Eve Sunday and
48:35
then Christmas Day on Monday. Everybody's gonna be off all those days. It's
48:38
gonna be a nice long weekend and hopefully at that point in the season,
48:42
this game means you know, a lot for that for that one seed.
48:45
So so Herbert, I don't think they're gonna be mediocre again as much as
48:50
they have been, I don't think they're gonna be mediocre again. So it's
48:53
gonna be an interesting match up. The Bills have played so far, so
48:55
good, and so five Stadium and late in the year a PM Friday.
49:00
They I liked this last year was that Dolphins game where you know, the
49:04
home game, we're throwing throwing the snowballs and crew and that won't be happening.
49:10
That won't be happening so far, right, Rob, But no,
49:14
no, no, nice, another nice long weekend. That's gonna be great.
49:17
And get out of work Friday. What's Saturday? Oh, it's game
49:21
Day? And then what's Christmas? You know, yes, yeah, Christmas
49:23
right after that. Man, it'll be fun. It'll be fun, for
49:27
sure. I mean, the Bills go to LA and everybody's back home for
49:30
Christmas. I know that. You know, the you know, the players
49:32
and their families were separate last year with the whole Buffalo storm and being in
49:37
Chicago, and Chicago had a win storm and everything like that. So I
49:39
know that they missed some of Christmas, so I know that the players will
49:43
be happy to be home for the holidays. Now, last two weeks of
49:46
the season, we have New Year's Eve. Week seventeen. We are back
49:51
at the Ralph one o'clock something we're used to one o'clock against the Patriots.
49:58
I love it. I love it, I love it. It looks like
50:00
I'll probably be the last one of the year because the Week eighteen game is
50:04
still to be determined in respects of the time for Week eighteen. So Patriots
50:09
at Bills at the Ralph was good. DT. I will see you early,
50:14
early, early. It is New Year's Eve. We are getting ready
50:16
to ring in the new year that next day. It's crazy to think the
50:20
twenty twenty four will be here before you know it, but that's the way
50:23
that it is. Man, Week seventeen, New Year's Eve, Patriots at
50:27
the Bills. Man, what do you think. Yeah, let's let's go.
50:30
I mean business, this is business trip top to bottom. Mean hopefully
50:35
I dare to say this, you know, not the season's wrapped up by
50:37
then, but you know, this is a game where if you need it
50:40
you'd like to have it coming in at home. It's gonna be a tough
50:43
one for Mac Jones and the boys, you know, with the schedule and
50:46
this type of stakes that are going to be facing this team weekend and week
50:50
out. There's no way they're not ready for this game. They're not resting
50:52
starters by now. Even if they got the ones he locked up, they're
50:54
still playing this week. Tough one from Belichick and the Boys. And yeah,
50:58
we'll be there at one o'clock. It'll be we're going to start celebrating
51:01
these one o'clock games, the last on the team for a while, and
51:06
we'll celebrate that. That'll be a good one to you always get up for
51:08
a Patriots game and at home, and absolutely, let's go. Yeah,
51:12
let's go. Week eighteen, it's still again to be determined for a Week
51:16
eighteen, the Bills will go to hard Rock Stadium to battle the Dolphins.
51:22
Again. We shouldn't have to worry too much about the heat being a factor
51:24
and playing such a large factor like it did last year's game with I refer
51:30
to it as the IV game. Like I said before, the Bills at
51:32
the Dolphins hard Rock Stadium Week eighteen again those times are still kind of getting
51:37
worked out on the dates. Nfls introduced some flex scheduling and different things like
51:42
that. They've always had flex flex scheduling, excuse me, but now they've
51:46
even rolled it out to Monday night games, and they've rolled it out to
51:49
Thursday night games, and they rolled it out to later in the season.
51:52
So we don't really know who we're going to play. We know that it
51:54
will be the weekend of January sixth, seventh, or eighth, and you
51:58
just kind of figure it out from there. He plays on Thursday that last
52:00
week. So, um, I don't know when we're gonna play the Dolphins,
52:04
but we're gonna go down and play the Dolphins, and sometime we're gonna
52:07
go finish up our season Week eighteen Bills at Dolphins. Man, at least
52:12
it won't be that hot. Man. At least the players won't be falling
52:14
out like like they were last time. Yeah, go call up any grandparents,
52:22
you know, any friends have grandparents, And there's snow burden down there
52:24
and and shack up baby. This Yes, this is what we've I've been
52:28
asking for for years. I'd love Miami one of my favorite cities in the
52:31
world, and I've always I wanted to go to this game for a long
52:35
time. And I hope this game doesn't mean anything at this point in the
52:37
season, Rob, But I'm calling it now Nickel City, Miami Beach.
52:40
Let's location location. Let's get down the strip down to Barni versachis for a
52:49
little filet. But God, whatever you mean, Rob, we out there.
52:52
I like this game down the year. I hope it doesn't mean anything,
52:55
but I think we gotta get down there. Man, I've been wanting
52:59
it. Oh Man, that is too funny. It's it's funny. You
53:02
know. I have never been to the Bills Dolphins game. I know that
53:07
it is just an event and you see all the pictures and you see how
53:09
we just take over and it's way worse than Tennessee or anything like that.
53:13
And I'm always proud to see when the Bills are down there and to see,
53:16
you know, them taking over it. But I have never experienced it
53:19
myself. So I mean I would just put me down. I'll put I'll
53:22
put a little bucket in the hat, like all right, I mean,
53:24
put me down. I'm down to do it for sure. On location the
53:29
crew live from South Beast. I mean, I would love to put on
53:31
I would love to put on Yeah, I'd love to take it from Charlotte
53:38
down to to Miami. That would be really fun. It would be something
53:40
to experience because every single time we play them in Miami literally is a takeover.
53:45
The stadium seems to be sixty forty or seventy thirty bills. Um.
53:51
It really is just a sight to watch, especially if what the Bills are
53:53
taking over and they're winning the game, then all the Miami fans leave and
53:57
it literally is just literally Bill Mafia on the road. Man, it feels
54:00
like the Ralph all over again. So it should be so much fun.
54:05
Give me a prediction, DT, I know that it's hard. On the
54:07
spot shout out against Seth Brown. He says twelve and five take the East
54:12
heading to the postseason, healthier and more consistent than last season. I mean
54:15
he also, you know sticks in there that Bachelor Ja seventeen on the war
54:19
path, which is funny because I just heard about that. I did not
54:22
know that Josh and his lady apparently broke up. But man a motivated,
54:28
man a motivated, a scorn man that that might be something where we might
54:31
have h we might have an MVP season on our hands. Man, I
54:35
have no idea, but I'm gonna be interested to see. Give me a
54:38
prediction, DT on the record, seventeen games. Do the math right?
54:43
Give me a prediction on the spot, thirteen and four, Robot, it's
54:52
gotta be if you want to ring, if you want a parade, it's
54:57
thirteen and four. Oh my goodness, I want a parade. I have
54:59
to. I have to. I have to get thirteen and fourteen and four.
55:04
Wow, DT, we will have so much more time to chew on
55:07
that one. It's got to be thirteen and four. Man. I will
55:12
say that the Bills will go twelve and five. I like that. I
55:15
like that conservative. But you already know that I'm more of a conservative,
55:17
so I want to stick to the conservative side, So I'll stick with Seth
55:21
on this one. Twelve and five sounds like a nice good number. Um,
55:24
it's obtainable. Uh, it's not too haughty of of a number to
55:29
go after. Man. Listen, as the schedule stacks up, there's just
55:31
a lot of tough games on there. You know, the Bills are always
55:35
good to lose one of those weird games that you never thought that they would
55:37
lose. Last year was the Jets. You know when when Zach Wilson beat
55:40
us. You know, listen, always going to be some weird games in
55:45
the season. It always happens that way. Um. But I mean,
55:47
wow, thirteen and four, okay, no problem. I'm not gonna get
55:51
mad at you. Man. It's way too early in the off season.
55:52
We haven't got the training camp yet, so I'm not gonna cuss you out
55:55
on anything. Man. You take it thirteen and four and we'll see what's
55:59
going on with it. Man. I love it, man, I love
56:01
the schedule. I love the way that it laid out. Again. This
56:04
is like Christmas for me for sure. And uh, I appreciate you man
56:08
down the Myrtle Beach taking the time out of your night dt to join us.
56:13
Man. I love it, man. I let the crew man tell
56:15
us what's up. I appreciate you man. Like you said, man,
56:22
it's beautiful to be down here, beautiful to be rocking. And I love
56:24
the schedule. Release, love the schedule release. It's it's one of the
56:28
best days. And yes, I remember it every year and all those games
56:31
up and count the wins, couton the losses, and just like I said,
56:36
planning him a long weekends, playing them the extra days, yes,
56:38
and just envisioning that time. I'm like, oh nice, next week.
56:42
We got these guys on Monday night, then we got him in four twenty
56:45
five, and then this matchup. It's it's it's the best round it man.
56:47
I can't wait to see you. Man, I will see you h
56:51
September seventeenth, If not that weekend, you know what I mean, sometime
56:53
earlier that weekend, but I will see you for sure by September seventeenth when
56:58
the Raiders come to the Bills week two. Um. It should be fun,
57:01
man, I mean, it'll be fun. I'll probably throw a little
57:04
party, fry a turkey or something like that for the home opener, you
57:07
know, put some wings out, you know, do some something fun.
57:09
For that Monday night. I'll play Monday Night Football Team so thousand times on
57:14
my speaker of the garage, I'll play it a thousand times. And then
57:16
after that, man, I'll be I'll be heading up seventy seven man to
57:21
come up the buff. Man, I'll be I'll be meeting up with you
57:22
before you know it. The DT blink and I Man, I'll be up
57:25
there before you know Jimmy g Yes, So I got a charcoal grilled down
57:36
here in Myrtle Beach at her at her house, and we fired it up
