• 0:56
  Speaker 3: for some of your Buffalo Bills and NFL content again today.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: And as always, these are my Bills thoughts said out loud.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: It's a vibe so ridiculous.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: All right, let's get straight to it. Really, really excited
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: for tonight's episode. It's funny because, you know, we were
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: just talking about it last week, DT, how the league
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: changes week to week.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: And it also changes year to year. I mean, I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: think it was 7-0 for seven.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: And there's this dumb narrative out there and Josh Allen
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: can't win in overtime.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: And what a weird stat.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: And he's just 0 for 7 and all these different
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: weird games and ways that he loses.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: And half of them were not even his fault.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: We can go at the end of the show if
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: we want to have some fun and go back through
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: some of those losses where it was not his fault.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: To get that monkey off the back, Bills win 37-34
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: in overtime in SoFi Stadium in L.A. Joining me tonight
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: to help us unpack it, as always, my co-host riding shotgun,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Adam Dump Truck Rupsick. Check him out on Instagram and
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Twitter at Adam Rupsick. R-U-P-C-Z-Y-K. Holla at the crew, DT.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: One less thing they can say about the White Bison.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: One less thing they can say about our quarterback.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Had to get one.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Now you just need to win six more in a row,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: and you go 500 in overtime, and that's what you
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: need to get into the Hall of Fame, right, Rob? So,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Nickel City crew, what's up? Thursday night, Rob.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: What's up, baby? Back in it.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Four and one, what a victory. I mean, that's, that's
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: something you need to, you know, we'll break it down
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: tonight and there's, there's ups and there's downs through it,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: but overall, you know, as a part of the crew,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: as a part of the mafia there, that's just one
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: you're going to put in.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Your, your book.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: There's been so many great ones over the years and,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: you know, the, the game of the year, we're usually
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: on the wrong end of, it was good to be
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: on the, you know, the right end of it. This time,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: especially the last time they were in, you know, so
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: far against the Rams, it was the, you know, the
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: situation where, what was it like 52 to 49 or
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: whatever down the stretch and, you know, and was on
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: the wrong end of that one. So finally get one,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: put it in the notch. Josh Allen can win in
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: overtime and man, it almost took everything to do it. But,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: you know, it's good to sit here Thursday night, four
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and one again, looking back at this schedule in August,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: if you're four and one going into Vegas before your bi-week,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: every MF-er listening to this show. And I think you two, Rob,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: are signing up for that. So, We'll get on it.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: We'll unpack it. We're not perfect.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: It's the NFL.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: But it was greatness. It was greatness Monday night. And
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: we got to watch it in the fourth quarter in overtime. And,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: you know, that's why he's our guy, 4-1.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, God. I mean, you stole the words out of
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: my mouth when it comes to greatness.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, just what a game and what a way
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: for them to go out there.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: It's funny because, you know, it's interesting, like, Listen, the
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: way that the game started, it started off slow.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: And, you know, it's funny because, like, listen, 3-0, you know, 3-6.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: And it's like all of a sudden it's like 7-6 Rams.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: And, like, then it's 13-7 Bills.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden it was almost like
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: DT that it was a situation where I could tell
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: that it was going to be back and forth. I
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: just didn't know that it was going to be going
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: that long, like the entire game. All of a sudden
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: it was a situation where, like, man, it was back
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: and forth and it was in a hurry.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: It was in a hurry. what was the status?
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: It said basically the last six possessions were touchdowns, right?
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Alternating touchdowns before, before overtime. And that's, that's never happened.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: So that's, that's insane. You know, to, we knew it
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: was kind of going to be like that.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: We, we had.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Doubts in the, if the defense could make stops, but
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: in the first half they were in, you know, really
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: being critical out of the gate, that six points in
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: those two trips was, you know, going to be inexcusable
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: if we came out with an L on that one.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: And we would have been talking about that. I think
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: first first thing going into tonight's.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Episode, but.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: The way they kind of had the lead and were
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: able to still stick in when the Rams did make
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: a push and start punching them right back, the Bills
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: stood right in there and answered each time. So that's
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: what it came down to, and answering who got the
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: ball last, and Aikman must have said that 82 times
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: on monday it's gonna come down to who gets the
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: ball last well it technically did and you know um
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: you know would have if the rams would have made
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: that field goal too but the six points when it
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: could have been at least you know 13 you know
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: may you know could have been the the two touchdowns
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: total but you gotta you gotta at least get one
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: of those right so so that was a tough thing
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: to kind of grasp and i i'm trying to get
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: better at that and my bills fandom of you know,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the scars from the drought are still there and something
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: like that happens. And you're automatically not making an excuse,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: but like trying to play out the end of the game.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: If we lose this game.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: We needed more than six points in those first two
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: possessions by being kind of on their throat. And I'm
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: glad I was proved wrong. And I'm working not to
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: think that way. Nickel city crew and Rob, I'm working
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: to think like, okay, it's still a ball. Like the
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: ball game is still like here and the minister ticket
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: and possessions are happening. And yes, we, we didn't utilize those,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: you know, possessions to get touchdowns, but we still came
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: away with points. And obviously we needed every, every last
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: one of them down the stretch. So that field goal,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: one of those field goals, one is the game at
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: the end. We won by three. So one of those
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: first two possessions of the threes obviously carried over. So
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: a huge back and forth. I mean, just looking down
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the stretch and like, you know, it was, it was
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: kind of a normal game until fourth quarter.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Right. And then touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown. Yeah. Listen,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: it's crazy because, and we'll do the negatives first. I
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: want to do the positives first. And the positives are
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: that it's the reason I named the episode the way
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: that I did.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: What you talked about, I always call him the White Bison.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: They do that in our Twitter spaces.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Shout out Lee Sean. And they always call him the
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: White Bison. And I think that it's just such a
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: great way to talk about him because he's like an
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: animal out there. And then it's funny because I was
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: listening to Instagram today and they were like, it was Cameron.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: And Cameron was like, most quarterbacks, when they run, they slide.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Josh Allen got a, got a forearm on your neck.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: And I'm like that. It's so crazy to watch a minute.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: And it also, it can make you reflective. Like, man,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know how much longer he can do this,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: but when it's in the moment and you're in the
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: game and you're watching it, you're not thinking about his retirement.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: You're not thinking about when he's going to have to
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: become a pure pocket quarterback and his legs don't work
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: the same way. It is just so fun to watch.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: It's like watching. It's like watching an artist do his artistry.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: It's like a painter that can, He paints the stuff
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: and they just throw stuff against it. All of a sudden,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: five minutes later, there's a damn beautiful picture of some,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean?
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Some portrait. And you're like, damn, how did he do that?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Steph Curry shooting threes.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: You're like, how does this motherfucker, like he's barely like
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: looked at the hoop and he's like, boom, cast. Like,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: you know, like nothing but the bottom of the net.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: It's like watching somebody do their artistry. It's amazing to
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: see him when he gets in that mode. 121 yards
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: on the ground. I think it said somewhere on Twitter,
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: he was the number one rusher in the league. from
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: week five, excuse me, from week four or whatever it was,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: week five, I'm sorry, because they're four and one. I'm like, man,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: he's outrunning running backs, but he's not a running back.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: He still can throw the ball. And I know that
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: the game on Monday night was a little bit wonky
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: with the stats, DT, but it wasn't because of the
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: fact that he was not able to throw. It was
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: that wide receivers that were struggling with separation. And then
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: you had DJ Moore that was out that kind of
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: compounded things, but it's not because Josh Allen can't throw.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: He's the best dual threat quarterback ever. I think that
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: God has ever created. And I'll stand on that. He's
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: better than Lamar, better than any of the other guys
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: that have come before them. I think that it's just
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: amazing to watch him when he's actually in the middle
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: of it. When you're watching the game, you can't do
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: anything but smile, yell, get up, however you fan. It's
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: amazing because he brings emotion out of you when you
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: watch him.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: He brings emotion. It's inevitable. Something happens when you watch
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen play football.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I like the way you put it, you know, with
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the watching the artistry, you know, watching the artist on
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: his canvas. I have a little more darker look on it,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: but I think I need to, I'm going to transition
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: more to your way. Like, it's more like we're scientists
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: in a lab and this is, you know, these... Whatever
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: we're doing, you know, this rat we're doing experiment on
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: and we just keep we just turn up that temperature,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: keep turning it, turn it and see how they react
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: and see what happens. And, you know, it takes not
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: that Josh only comes out in clutch situations. He makes
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: baller plays all over the place. But it seems like
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: when that pressure cooker goes all the way up and
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: if he's not, you know, it's not the Patriots where
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: it's a little off and a lot of other things.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: when the pressure goes all the way up, there's a
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: switch that flips and you're like, all right, it's about
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: to happen.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: It's about to happen.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: The Hulk is about to go, you know, he's about
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: to go Hulk.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: And, and he does.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: And the, the fact of like in the beginning of
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: the game, uh, of he hesitated a few times and
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: it was like is he hurt because that was the
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: question from the Patriots game of like well he is
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: not moving at all in this Patriots game and like
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: times where you think like what we saw Monday you
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: would think all right Josh like it's fourth quarter in
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the Patriots game. Like what's going on? And he's just
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: really hesitant. And then he started that way a little
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: in the, in Monday night. And then that was quickly
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: put to rest. I mean, you know, it's not like
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: he was ready. Like he was like scampering and like
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: limping a little and like getting down. Like he was,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: he was full go full bore, you know, that fourth
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: and three play against the chiefs in the, you know,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: in the regular season, the play of the year, Jim
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Nance says it was that type of mentality, you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: that whole fourth quarter and overtime, he only had a lot, what, 10.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Rushes or 11 rushes. yeah 11 carries.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: For 120 yards so i mean obviously he was picking.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: Up big 10 carries 121 10 big chunks clutch chunks
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: down the stretch you know when in a time where
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: we we needed to move the ball and he you
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: know it was put it in put it in a
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: receiver's hands which he might have been able to or
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: put it in my hands and he and he chose.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: That yeah the critical you know of like yay josh
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: allen's not gonna be able to do that forever yada
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: yada yada i get it but like this is, you know, this,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: we're not, you're never going to get a quarterback to
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: be able to do what he did Monday night either.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: So like, yeah, we understand it's not forever, but this
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: is also, I'm not going to not watch something we
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: would never see just to keep the longevity.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Like we, we can't have the cake and eat it too.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: In this scenario, eventually there's a, there's an exit. But I,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, I will take that type of cinema on
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Monday night and watch that, you know, every time, like,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: yeah that's it was needed to win the game like
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: it was needed to win the game it wasn't like
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: he was just you know fucking around like they were
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: picking up crucial first downs he was running them to
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: the sticks he i and capaccio had a point this
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: week about like they were they were being critical of
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: you know like yes he was picking up these yardages
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: but then still had time to get down and slide
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: or get out of bounds or whatever and he's not
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: and capaccio basically like put it into perspective of like
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: i'm around these guys all day like the competitive juice,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: like you say you're competitive, you know, cause you get
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: worked up playing cards with your friends or something, but
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: like the competitive juice with these dudes, they are literally
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: psych psychos. Like they're there, you know, and he was
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: basically saying, Josh just is so competitive. All other it's
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: the only thought is to make the best play. What's
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: best for my team right now is to get this
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: first down. So I'm going to go get this first down,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: no matter what, there's no repercussion. There's nothing else. And,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: we talk with mama Monday about that.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: That's so true.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: You know, the, the situation of like, it's not even
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: in his head to like compartmentalize. And then when he
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: starts to compartmentalize, that's when you see, that's when he
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: starts kind of struggle, you know? So this is, this
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: is how we got to have it folks. This is
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: how we got to have it.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: It's, it's never easy. He's got to play free. He's
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: got to play. It's never easy.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: It's never going to be, you know, a situation where it's,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: you know, that, that was, he was, he was upright
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: and threw for 400 yards and we won by 30. It's,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: This is how it is, folks. You know, our defense
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: might suck. We might give up 35 a game. We
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: might score 40 and every game might.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Be like Monday. And that's just what we, what we have.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: To deal with. But the fact of the matter is
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: greatness ensues. You will never see that from any other
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: player in the NFL. You know, you haven't seen it
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: and you won't see it in the future.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I think this is once in.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: A lifetime type shit. We're watching mafia and you know, it's,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: it's our guy, right? It's, it's, he doesn't make every
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: perfect decision, but there's nobody else on this planet. that
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: can do what he did in fourth quarter and overtime.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: No, he's amazing.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: And I think that we, you know, it's something about,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: you know, the Cleveland thing and the LeBron and witness,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: you know, like, you know, I always think about you
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: with that, you know, like, but we are like, we
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: are witnessing greatness. And I know you always talk about that.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: And I have to agree with that. I think that
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: we are in the midst of something that is historical.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: And I don't, I don't think that that's hyperbole to
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: put on it. I don't think that we will see now,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: of course, what do they say about athletes are getting
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: bigger and faster, stronger.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: I understand that.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: But like just the combination of his, his size, his strength,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: and then his will, his competitive will that you just
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: spoke about. Like, I don't know, we might see another one,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: maybe 20 years from now or something like that. And again,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: speaking to your point, the odds are he is not
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: the Buffalo bills quarterback. The odds are he's, you know,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: somebody else's quarterback. That's just not the way that it goes.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: We are lucky to have them. So just enjoy it
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: because it's a situation where you may not ever see
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: it again. In the NFL, let alone on the Buffalo Bills.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: So I do agree with you on that one. Now, DT,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: before we get to the negative stuff, shout out. You
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: saw it there for my Instagram followers and stuff like
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: that for Nickel City Crew.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: You saw the little promo.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, Groot, I thought not only did I think
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: we were losing the game, I had come up with
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: the name of the show for that game. I was like, man,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I'm going to have to name this shit like dropping
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: the ball or something, you know, be something fucking stupid
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: like that. Because I was so mad at James Cook
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: and I was just so mad at just the situation.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: and how we got to that point. Cause I thought
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: we would, I thought that we would have the ball
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: last to win. And then all of a sudden that
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: fumble in overtime, I'm like, God, I cannot believe that
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: this motherfucking keeps fumbling.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a minute. The DT shout
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: out to group, man.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, and the best thing that I loved about
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: it was seeing Michael Hoyt afterwards. It wasn't until like
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: a day or two later that I caught it, but
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: I caught them on the mic up and they had
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Hoyt mic'd up and he's talking to group, tell them
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: exactly what he's like.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: You're swimming.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: On this. And that just, that adds another layer that
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: makes that play even cooler to me. DT, man, they
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: had the Sebastian Janikowski 2.0 out there thought that he
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: was going to get shit done. I definitely thought we
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: were getting ready to lose. And, and Groot comes through
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: and saves the day, man. I was all over Twitter.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I am Groot. I am Groot. I mean, that shit was,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: that was fire, man.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: I was, I was so happy because, because Josh Allen
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: had the type of performance that it deserved.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: To be the winner. He did. He deserved to be
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: the winner.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: And, and we've seen it a lot where, the game
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: of the year has been on the wrong side of that.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: And it's, it's tragic and a shame. And the, the
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: elevation we talk about 17 would be even higher if
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: some of those games went, went our way, but you know,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: shout out Groot. I mean, we're going to have to
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: get them in at fullback or tight end, a few plays,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: get them a few touchdowns, get offensive player of the week.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: He gets defensive play, AFC defensive player of the month.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Then he gets special teams player of the week. Now
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: let's get them on the offensive side of the field
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: and have them three phases, you know, player of the week. This,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Stepping up, maybe a late bloomer.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: We still got a lot of season left, but obviously
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: love what we see about him thus far. Sebastian Genicowski 2.0.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: What's his name? Mavis or Machavis? Yeah, Mavis, Mavis. Yeah,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: he got fired. I know that.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Nickel City crew. You know, I want to shout out
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: the fans coming at DT. Is DT kicking for the
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Rams out there?
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Say what? I'm taking strays.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Whoa.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Oh boy. That's not nice. And shit.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I would, I would, I would have made that. I
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have got a block either.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: So no, it wasn't me. But yeah, anyway, I think
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: he's a lefty too. I think he's a lefty like Sebastian.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: So that's why.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: But Groot, like you're going to have to make, you know, plays.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Obviously Josh Allen has proven he can get us pretty
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: damn far, but not far enough.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Right. It's, it's just not.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: So we're going to need, you know, playmakers down the stretch.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: And that's the type of, obviously the, the type of
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: play you need. I think they got decent pressure, too, defensively.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: But it's do or die. We need to block this
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: kick or we lose. And then now we have the
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: confidence that– I'm not saying we could do that every time.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: No, of course not.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: It showed me that the team, it was– they went
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: all out.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: It's in there. It was do or die. It's in there.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: They're all in on this, too. They're not making business decisions.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: They're not if we lose, we lose. It's a tough team.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: It's no.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: I'm going 100% all in to win this game, putting
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: my body on the line. Josh Allen is literally– exiting
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: reality and putting his body on the line to get
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: first downs on the other end, you know, group comes
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: out and makes a probably jumping higher than, you know,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: the adrenaline and whatnot, jumping higher than he normally would
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: in a practice or rep or anything to get just
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: his fingertip on that ball. Like that's what we needed.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: And so it's, I'd like the, the, the play itself.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Great group having a great, you know, start to the
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: season could be historic season for him. Finally, a breakout,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: you know, first round pick for us, but the vibe
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: of that, everyone has to put everything on the line
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: to win this game. It's not just 17, everyone, we
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: have to block this kicker.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: We lose. And they did like that's, that gives.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Me, you know, some confidence in this team of, you know,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: whatever defense getting carved up or whatever, the, the, the,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: the nucleus is there, the vibes there. It's not just
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Josh and these guys are all professionals. And I get,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: you're not bought in like high school football every day, but,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: In that moment, that team was, and that speaks to
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: me that this building is on the right track and
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: gives me confidence moving forward of where the nucleus of
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: this team stands.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Ooh, I like that. I like that last part. I
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Now, and shout out Ray Davis as well. Starts off
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: the game, I mean, 70-yard kickoff return, started the game.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: I was, you know, I didn't think he was going
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: to get there.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: But the kicker caught him. Yeah, I know. I didn't
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: think he was going to get there. Not DT, the
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: other guy. Yes, the other guy, not DT. Yes, chill out, Nicholson.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: That was a DT out there.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Now listen, tonight's episode is presented by Buffalo Fan Base,

• 19:53
  Speaker 3: I know if it's one Buffalo, I'd say it's a
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Bills town, but the hockey fans will try to argue
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: with me.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, you can argue with me during hockey season if
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: you want. Listen.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Head on over to I-86 Network. They've got you covered
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: on the Bills and definitely on the Sabres. They've got
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: all the coverage over there. So we do appreciate simulcasting
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: on that network as well. DT, before we get to
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Sin City, we've got to keep it real. And you
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: know that I got to keep it funky here or
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: I would not be on brand. So let's talk about
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: the negatives from the game. And there's an interesting topic
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: that leads back to Joe Brady again. And I think
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: we'll end on that. First, the first half pick, Josh Allen.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: I didn't really freak out about it just because of
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: the fact that, I mean, I called it an arm punt.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Then my boys on Twitter were talking shit like, stop
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: calling it that. Stop calling it that. You know what
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: I mean? Because there was still an opportunity to go
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: score and go up two scores technically.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I think we were up 13-7 at the time when
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: he threw that pick. I mean, whatever. It was a
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: long throw. You know what I mean?
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: So because of the fact that it went, I mean,
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I just didn't care as much maybe
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: as I should have. But that was definitely a negative.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: We've got to stop throwing into triple coverage. And I
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: understand that he needs to stop. But I've given him
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: a little bit more grace because of the fact that
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: it was end of half. You do have the lead.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: You don't have your best receiver. So, you know, I
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: guess he was trying to make something happen.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: It was dumb. I guess if you want to say
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: that and you want to poke holes in it. DT,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I love Jimbo. I really do. I love Jimbo.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: And I'll give Brady credit that he went back to
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: him afterwards uh dt there's this is it's it's concerning
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: because of the goals that we have how about that
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: i'll put it that way the the fumbles are concerning
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: because of the goals that we have so if we
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: were just some middling team or we're the fucking jets
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: of the browns like i wouldn't i wouldn't even care
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: i wouldn't even care about what brady said afterwards and
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: that really wouldn't be newsworthy dt because of the goals
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: that we have there's he's got to figure it out
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: he's got two fumbles. I think he's got five on
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: the year or something like that. I think he's got
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: like four and five games.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: It's a problem, DT. It's a problem. And I don't
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: know what he needs to do.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: I heard stuff, you know, oh, cut off your sleeves
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: like Thurman used to or something like that. Like, I
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: don't know what it is. He's got to figure it out.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: And people are joking on Twitter and shit like that.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: DT talking about the program because a couple weeks ago
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: was the 30th anniversary of the program. I'm like, they
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: like make this motherfucker carry the football around like that
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: running back who opened my eyes.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I was like, That was Darnell Jefferson.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: That was Darnell Jefferson. And he had to carry that
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: football around campus. I know that they probably won't go
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: to those lengths, DT.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: It's a problem.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: And I think that if we want to be real
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: with ourselves, we can't just gloss over it because they're 4-1.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Because of our goals. Does that make sense?
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: We have loftier goals than a team that is 3-2
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: or 1-3 or 0-4 like the Titans. We've got real goals.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: And he's got to figure out a way to get
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: this shit shored up.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: He does. Well, I see it.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: It's not a fluke. Like you said, it's a problem.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: It's not a fluke. It's not like, oh, well, he
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: really doesn't have a problem because this happened here, this
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: happened here.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: No, it's a problem. I agree. It's not a fluke.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: And the goals, you make a good point about the
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: goals being set because... it can't just be a James
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Cook gives you 150 a game and two touchdowns, but
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: he puts it on the ground and you still win games.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: So it's like, okay, it's not a big.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Deal until the divisional playoff game. When, you know, this
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: exact scenario, we're about to drive and win an overtime
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: and he puts it on the ground and we lose
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: and the season's over, you know, then it's like, well, well,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: you know, like, so, so I agree. The goals are
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: big because the, you don't want it to bite you
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: in the ass when you need that inch down the stretch,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: when you need the inch down the stretch. And it's
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: a proven problem. So you have to identify it. You
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: can't just pretend it's not there, you know, because of
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: the success, but because of the goals, like you said,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: but how do you play that?
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: How hard do you go in on it? You know,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: do you, is it something where you make him really
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: think twice and then he loses a step and loses
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: his explosiveness is what he is similar to when we
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: talk about Josh Allen, you know, trying to, you know,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: control him and then he's not as good. Does that
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: happen to James Cook because he's so worried about fumbling?
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: But also he's got to be worried about fumbling, you know?
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: So what's the.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Happy medium we get to there, you.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Know, to be delicate, to let him do his thing
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: because he's super successful, but also we can't have you
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: fumbling in the division playoff game, right? So it's, I
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: don't know. I think Joe Brady's at, this is a
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: big battle as a first year head coach to be,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: you know, a player's guy and a player's coach and,
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: you know, be with the boys. But like, you're going
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: to have to kind of lay the hammer down here
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: but also not, you know, take the studs away from Ford.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: So it's a very delicate situation and going to be
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: a tall task, I think, as a first-year head coach
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: to kind of navigate this because, I mean, James Cook
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: knows he can't put the ball on the ground. I mean,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: that was as closest to actually costing the game as
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: I think any of his fumbles have been, right? I,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, overall, like down the stretch, like
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: he fumbles, they lose. He instantly that's on him. Like,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: and he knew that on the sideline, you can see
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: it on his face. So is that, is that pressure
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: and come down enough on him to, to, to.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Let's unpack it. Well, then let's unpack it though, DT.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: And for those, for those in the audience, uh, bills,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: those mafia, nickel city crew may not know after the game,
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: it was not immediately after the game next day. Um,
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: they have their, uh, press press reports and, Joe Brady's
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: talking to the press, and he says he loves James,
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: loves everything he's doing, loves the production, kind of what
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: DT's talking about, the production he gives us. He says,
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: this is something that we've got to get fixed, though,
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: or the carries are going to decrease.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: And a.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Civil war, kind of a mini one, not a big one,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: but a mini civil war between the mafia started to
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: break out on Twitter for the next couple days because
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: there's one side that says, good, teach him a lesson.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: And then there's the other side that said you would
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: never do that about Josh Allen. You would never say
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: that about Josh Allen. You would never admonish him that way.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: How do you feel about it, DT? Because I thought
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: that it was interesting.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I thought it was.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Well, I think at the end of the day, it's
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: the NFL and production. It's strictly a production-based company, right?
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: If you're a coach and you lose too many times,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: you're dead. If you're a quarterback and you throw too
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: many picks and lose too much, you're dead. If you're
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: a running back and fumble too much, you're dead. It
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter how, you know, how good you are.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: What your production is.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: So the proof is in the pudding, and there's no
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: way to hide from it. Whether Joe Brady gets on
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: your ass and takes carries away for doing it or not,
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: there's no way to hide it because eventually you'll just
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: be diminished no matter how many yards you can run
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: for in a game. So it is tough, Rob, because
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: that's a good point about 17. You would never say
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: that about him if he was fumbling all the time.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: You would never take carries away or whatever. Because down
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: the stretch, we need him to win the game. But
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I think, I mean, Joe Brady may be saying that
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: because he needed to. He had to say that. He
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: couldn't just.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Be like, oh, I love James Cook. I love James Cook.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: He's great, but we'll.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Have to decrease carries just because I have to show
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: that we're addressing it. So what's going on in the team?
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know if we'll know. Maybe we'll find out
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: if he stops putting it on the grass every week.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: And they're like, all right.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: They obviously addressed it and did something differently. Um, but
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: if it's the same old thing that happens, did we
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: just gloss over it? So what is he saying to
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: the team? Um, I think it's a little mixture of both.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: I think James Cook takes a lot of this on
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: his own. It, it, it doesn't take the world and
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Joe Brady to tell me it's a fumbling problem. You know,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: if it's right there in front of him and on
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: his anxiety and conscience. And like I said, if he
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: is part of this nucleus and bought him with this
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: team of the goals and winning a Superbowl and, seeing
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: what it takes to win the game down the stretch
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: and Joshua and what he had to do and Groot
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: doing what he had to do and James Cook losing
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: it because he puts it on the ground. If he
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: is bought into the end goal of that, he is
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: going to, he is going to fix this, you know, in,
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: in a way where he's going to be hard on
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: himself and you know, it's not going to be, Oh
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: my gosh, you're taking carries. I can't believe they're taking
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: carries away from me. I think he's going to see
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: it as if that does happen, I think he's going
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: to see it more.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: As, yeah, I put it on the ground. I deserve that.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Now I need to get to a place to get
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: those carries back.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I hope so.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: At least. See, and that's one of the things that I,
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: because I'm like on the team of, Joe Brady has
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: to be smart enough to know that taking the ball
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: away from James Cook would hurt the team. So I
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: don't think that he's in the mood of hurting the team. However,
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: you can't let it go absolved. But like, that's when
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: those people are on the other side that like, well,
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: he would never treat, you know, Josh Allen like this.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Josh Allen could have a four touch, a four interception game.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: He would never do that to him. Those people are right.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: I think that the quarterback position is a little bit different,
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: but they are right. How many games could Josh throw
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: four picks in a row before he got benched. I
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: think that he would test out the damn near season.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: He would take that shit and spit it around the block.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Like you wouldn't, you would be so uncomfortable to find
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: out how long his leash is. So to me, I
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: don't think that it's necessarily apples to apples. I also
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: thought about that DT and you just kind of spoke
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: to it. It's that thing that I talked about last
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: week that sometimes I think he's talking to us, the fans,
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: and he's not, he doesn't have that same tone or
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: he doesn't have that same type of demeanor in the
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: locker room. And that, again, is something that we will
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: not know unless we get somebody that's in the locker
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: room on the show.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Other than that, we're never going to know what really
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: is said.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: I don't think that he's dumb enough to take carries
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: away from his best back just to prove a point.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Does that make sense?
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: That's some Sean McDermott shit. Sean McDermott benched him as
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: soon as he fucking fumbled. And I know that it
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: was ironic that he fumbled on his first ever NFL carry.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: And that is ironic. And that's unfortunate. But he got
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: benched after that.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: And, like, I don't think that Joe Brady is.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Moving or moving and operating in that way. DT.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: I don't, I don't think he's that kind of old
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: school coach. I think that he's smart enough to know
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: where his bread is buttered. And, and James cook is
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: a great back. He's a top five back. I think
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: that's secure now. And it should be firm for everybody
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: to see that he's a top five back. Fumbling is
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: a problem. He's got to get it fixed. It doesn't
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: absolve the fumbling. I just think that you hurting the team.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: If you take his carries, it's, and give them all
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: to Ray Davis.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I don't think you're getting the same production.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: It's the happy medium of not being as hard-ass as
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Sean McDermott, but not being as loose as Rex Ryan.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: And telling the fans different from what he's telling the team.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I think so. I don't know. You don't believe that?
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: You don't buy that?
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: I do believe that, but I don't know if, like,
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: I like that. You know, like, I don't need him
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: to tell me exactly.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: But I need him. Oh, I can't stand it. I
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: told you I'd be getting ready to shut it off.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: I want a little more McDermott-esque in the fact of, like,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: this is what we do and we're doing it. Like,
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: there's no, like, this, yes, it's a fumbling problem. We're
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: going to address it and get better. Like, it doesn't
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: have to be tell the fans, yeah, don't worry. Like,
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: we'll decrease his carries if he keeps fumbling. And then
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: in the building, it's like, all right, man, just don't fumble,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: but we're still going to give you the ball all
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: the time. I think it needs to be more like
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: a little more hard-ass Sean McDermott-esque, not benching him, but
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: just this is the situation, this.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Is how we're handling it. Well, that's kind of hard-ass.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Saying that you're going to get less carries is hard-ass.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: It's going to take a while, I think, but he
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: said both sides of it, right? So, like, he's– Joe
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Brady's kind of in the middle of that, you know,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: by contradicting himself.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: He's always saying two things at the same time. So– Exactly.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: So I think that's the growing pains of the first-year
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: head coach, and hopefully he finds that identity and is
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: a little more, you know, not so much do everything
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Sean McDermott did, but a little more this is our organization,
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: I'm the head of it, and this is what we're doing.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: I can kind of go with you. I kind of
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: see where you're going with that. I mean, he definitely
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: does talk out of both sides of his mouth. I
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: just think that there's a– I think that the more
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: and more that he does it, I'm starting to just
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: think that he is talking– He talks differently to us
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: than he does the team.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: That's the best way I can put it.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Now, as we begin to transition, DT, well, I guess
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: before we can transition, this defense.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Is dog shit. I mean, I was getting ready to talk.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: I'm like, wait a minute.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: I can't just talk about the Raiders and pretend that
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: this defense is not dog shit.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: DT, I mean, now Puka Nakua does get his, and
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: he always gets his. I understand that. And I know
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: that he only averaged like eight yards a carry, but
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: like he had. like good production.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Like a lot of them were for first down 17
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: fucking catches 138 yards.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Yes. It's only eight yards of catch, but a lot
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: of them were, were good, like good catches. Like, you know,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: where you needed it.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: It's not just Puka, Nicole, DT, this deep, this defense
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: got shredded. I understand that they're playing the reigning MVP.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: I understand that he has weapons with, you know, Devante
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: Adams and other guys as well. I also know that, um,
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: This is not sustainable. We talked about this a couple
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: weeks ago, DT. This is not sustainable. Is Josh Allen
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: and the offense capable of winning games in a shootout?
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Yes. Obviously, Monday night is a great example of it.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: It should give you even more.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Confidence, Bills Mafia, Nickel City crew, that he did it
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: without D.J. Moore.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: D.J. Moore is historically durable. He's not going to be
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: out all season, I would assume.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: He's going to come back and have a major part
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: and have a major say in this 2026 calendar season.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Season. So that should give you confidence. Bill's mafia.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: That should give you something a little bit comforting to
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: rest your head on DT. It's it's not, I, there
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: is no way. I was literally about to talk about
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: the Raiders and skip over the D there's no way to,
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: there's no way that you can sugarcoat a DT. This is,
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: it's not good enough. And I have been the one
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: that has said, listen, Jim letter has said that he doesn't.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Have his pieces. He tried to tell us in training camp,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: but we weren't listening or some weren't listening.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: I was listening. He said it's going to take some time.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: This is well, then it's time. I mean, I don't
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: know if you want to wait for the bye week.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: You can wait and we can see what happens on
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Sunday against the Raiders. But it's time we need him
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: and be need to get together and figure some shit out.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: This is bad.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: I think the only bright spot is the defensive line.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: IGB is starting to play a little bit better. When
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: he went like they had to bench Max, they had like, it's,
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: it's bad out there, man. The safeties don't even look good.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Cole Bishop.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: I thought this was supposed to be an ascending year
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: where he keeps going up. I haven't been impressed by
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Cole Bishop in the backend. I'll let you cover a DT.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: The only bright spot I see is a good defensive
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: line that gets home. Some sacks don't always get sacks,
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: but get they're creating pressure, which is a great thing.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Other than that, DT, this, this, this defense is dog shit.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: I don't, I can't show you. I'm sorry.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: DeMar Hamlin covering Devante Adams in the slot, you know,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: like late in the game, like, you know, real, real shit,
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: real concern. That's why I was hyped up about only
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: having the six points on those first two possessions on
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: the road, you know, being able to really stick it
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: to them because of the fear of that team's going
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: to come back and score points and exactly what they did.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: The first half, the defense held their own. You know,
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: we talked at halftime, you said defense is playing, defense
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: is playing and They were. They made some stops in
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: the first half to really keep this a game with,
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: you know, that led us to the victory at the end.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: And it might have not been that case if the
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: defense played the way they did, you know, in the
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: third and fourth quarter in the first and second. What
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: concerns me is the game plan of this, of like,
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: they were obviously, the game plan was.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: To- Ben, but don't break. Don't let anything over the top.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, that's right.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: And, all right, the Devontae Adams and Puka Nakua are
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: not going to beat us over the top. They can
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: get their five, six, eight-yard catches all night.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: We'll stop you when you get inside the 20.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: But it was so dramatic of that, of that sag. Like,
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: the corners would be up, and they would literally sprint
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: out of the screen. I talked about last week, like,
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: people catching the ball, you know, and then it takes
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: them– two, three seconds before you even see a Bills
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: player in the screen. In this case, they were literally
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: corners were sprinting off the back of the TV before
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: the snap.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: And then all they did was.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Just dump it to Puka, dump it to Puka, dump
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: it to Puka. Like that's all they did all game
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: because he was wide open on that five, six, seven,
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: eight yards. So it was frustrating to watch and like,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: not frustrating, like, man, we can't cover anybody.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: We're not good.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Like frustrating that that is now our game plan to
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: be like, okay, Like maybe we don't have the horses
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: and we are going to get burned. So like, we're
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: just going to have to give up everything in the front.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: And that is it go back to bend, don't break
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: and all this bullshit. But you know, every team doesn't
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: have a Devante Adams and Puka Nakua. I get that.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, it just felt like not
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: the towel was thrown in, but like, The game plan
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: was that.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: No, it's almost like Jim Leonard doesn't have answers, and
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: he knows that he doesn't have answers, so he's trying
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: to cover up and play as soft as possible.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Again, then fine.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: Go between the 20s and get your yards, and then
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: we'll just focus in on trying to hone in on
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: stopping you. in the red zone, but they didn't do that.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: The linebackers are garbage. The linebackers are not even carrying
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: with the receivers.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: And on those touchdowns, on Devontae's, both Devontae's touchdowns where safety.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Was on him in the corner.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: But the linebacker's not riding with him. The linebacker is
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: just letting him go by. You have to ride with
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: him if you're in zone coverage. You've got to carry
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: with him, and then your safety can help you. But
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: you can't just let the motherfucker run by you, and
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: you are flat-footed. Like it's some weird shit, man. Like,
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: and again, I, I am like literally one of the
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: only mafia members on Twitter that have acknowledged from the
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: beginning that Jim Leonard said it was going to take time.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: I am, I gave him grace and I am, I.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: Guess still technically giving him some grace, but like the alarm,
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: I said that a couple of weeks ago, I was
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: going to test after the If the charges came in
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: and gave us the fucking business, I was going.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: To test to make sure that the alarm was working.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: Well, last week I tested to make sure that the
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: alarm was working after fucking Drake May. We let him
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: fucking go off and get back right. Well, now I'm
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: turning the alarm on because now it's Drake May and
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: it's Stafford. They said it was like they'd given up
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: like 750 yards.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: The last two games. And like, I can't. We'll get
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: to the Raiders, but I can't.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: I can't logically tell you that I think that we
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: can win the Super Bowl with the defense playing like that.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Now, can it happen? Sure. Just like Monday night happened. Like,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: did it look like we were going to lose? Bills
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Mafia sure fucking did.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: And then group makes a big, but like, you can't,
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: you can't bank on that kind of shit. We should
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: have lost that game, but we didn't. Everybody needs luck.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: We've already talked about that. I'm not apologizing for our luck.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: I'm just telling you, Bills Mafia, Nickel City crew, we
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: can not, don't think that that's your diet. like we're
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: going to SoFi stadium and winning Superbowl 62 with that
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: as the diet, like you can't give up 30, 31, 34,
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: every fucking game.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Like that is, you are going to have a heart attack.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: You're going to clog your arteries, man. You can't, it
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: can't do that. It's hard living.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Chain, chain reaction to Rob, you know, the confidence gets
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: lost in the players and then they play worse. And,
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: you know, players like a gold Bishop who was ascending
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: and now isn't and, and getting 40.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Hung on them every week.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: And, you know, the, the confidence starts to fade away,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: then they're not making plays and jumping up because now
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: they're worried. Like if I jump into this and get
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: burned even more, it's even worse. So it's bad all
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: the way around.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, is the answer a few players at the
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: trade deadline?
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: I don't think it hurts.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: You know, I just don't think it's a philosophy difference.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: You know, they've been learning this new philosophy. They're not
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: just going to change something now and be like, Oh,
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: well actually let's just try this one.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: So it's a lot of zone as opposed to man.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: So I don't know why.
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: It's concerning. I, I, You've got to credit the defensive
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: line for being the only bright spot and maybe lean
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: on them even more to go more one-on-one. and try
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: that out. I think we've got to try it all
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: because it's reeling. It's reeling quick, and I agree. It's
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: not the answer for longevity, especially all the way to
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: February and back to SoFi. Whoever you're playing down the
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: stretch there through the playoffs in there is easily capable
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: of doing this, you know, hanging the 35 up with,
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: you know, with 400 yards easily capable.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, I, I, like I said, I, I'm, I,
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: now at this point in time, I'm going to wait,
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: watch Sunday. And then you get a chance to that.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: And that's what exactly what the bi-week is for. What
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: do they always talk about? Self-evaluation, self-evaluation, self-scouting. I need
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: Brandon Bean to be active. I need a linebacker. I
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: I'm going to need one. Dorian Williams cannot be one
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: of my linebackers anymore. And I know that Terrell Bernard
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: is struggling. And I don't even, like, I've been off
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: the Terrell Bernard train since last year. That's me personally.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: And I understand a lot of people love him and
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: Bills Mafia.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: I get it. That's fine.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: But, like, Dorian Williams, you got to figure something else out.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: I don't care if it's KEO. I don't care if
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: you call up Shaq Thompson. Like, I don't want to
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: see Dorian playing linebacker anymore for the Buffalo Bills. And, again,
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: this is after Sunday. After Sunday's game is when you
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: need to self-scout. You need to have real conversations. That's
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: what the GMs. Part of his job is to have
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: real conversations with his coaching staff and figure out what
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: do you need to be successful because this trade deadline
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: is coming around the corner. What do I need to
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: do to address? You swallow your pride. You swallow your ego.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter where you drafted the guy. It doesn't
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: matter what free agent that you liked that is not performing.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: None of that shit matters when you've got 17 as
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: your quarterback and you're trying to go after a Super Bowl.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: And I firmly believe that, DT.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: And we know a lot of people, and you and
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: I know a lot of people in chats and stuff
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: like that that thought, that Brandon Bean should have been
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: right out the fucking door with McDermott.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: I'm definitely one of them.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: For the people that love Bean, and there are plenty
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: of people that love him and say that you guys
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: are too hard on him, well, then I need you
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: to get with your coaches during this bye week and
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: figure this shit out because this quarterback is too good
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: to just waste year after year after year after year.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: And if you watch Monday night's game and didn't become
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: inspired by the white bison, that's why I named the
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: episode the way that I did that I don't know
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: what to tell you. He should, he, there's a physical
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: reaction when you see him giving a shit. Didn't everybody
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: look at that video when group blocked the kick?
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: What'd he do? He threw his fucking hat down, grabbed
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: his helmet, put it on. I was like, shit.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, when group blocked it, I didn't even have
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: to see that. When group blocked it, I knew we
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: were going to win the game.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: I knew it.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: That's just something that I felt at that point in time.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: DT, we cannot keep flushing these fucking seasons down the toilet.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: We can't.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: So I don't give a fuck. Whatever they need to do,
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: everybody swallow your pride. after this Raider day, come back
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: home and let's have some real conversations with the staff.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: Let's figure this shit out.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: It'd be unacceptable in those regards. Hey, try it out.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: Try it all.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Try everything.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Cause it can't get worse than what you're seeing. I mean,
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: I joked about in, in training camp when we, we,
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: with our defensive preview, we got Lawrence Taylor on the defense,
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: the way people were talking about him and you know,
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: how he got the reps. Cause the other guys were
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: out and granted they weren't live bullets. So we don't,
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: We don't really know what this guy's about, but the
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: hype was real and you don't get them in like
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: what we're seeing. It literally can't be worse than that.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: And if it is, then we got bigger issues. Then
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: we need a complete overhaul and being gotta be out.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: Cause if you're drafting guys that are worse than what
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: we're seeing, just it's, it's not acceptable. So it seems
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: a lot of, hopefully not up to potential and we
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: start finding potential and getting confidence back and, start chain
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: reacting in the positive direction as opposed to what we're
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: doing in the negative direction right now. I don't think
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: it's going to be good no matter what by the
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: end of the year, but it's got to be better
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: than this. And that's what we need to evaluate. So
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: at the trade deadline, you're not going to put an
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: 85 bears defense out there, you know, after it's just
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: not happening, but you, you need to do something in
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: a different plug and give somebody a little more confidence
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: than they have right now to start swinging that pendulum
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: back the other way. So you know, we can make
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: some stops down the stretch when we're going to need them. And, yeah,
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: play Elimzor. What's the deal with that, you know?
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know. He's playing a little spot duty, but
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: just play him. Just play him.
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: I don't want to see Dorian anymore. That's a personal thing.
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: I don't want to see Dorian anymore.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: I don't. That's me personally. Okay.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: Let's transition because we do have a tailgate report to
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: try to get to. So, listen, DT, plain and simple,
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: the Raiders– They played some softer teams to start the year.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Everybody was wondering the same thing. How good are they?
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: And they got trounced last week by the Patriots, 45-17.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: It was not pretty. It was never close. It was
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: never competitive. I thought that they could make it a game.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, I bet on them to kind of keep
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: it close for a little bit, and then I got
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: out of there because I was doing some live betting.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Like, it was bad.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: So there's really no way to put it. And now
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: Drake Mays back, and it was so funny. Like I said,
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: it's a funny league, man. A couple weeks ago, does
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: Drake Mays suck? And two weeks later, are they going
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: back to the Super Bowl? Like, it's just funny how
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: the league works. So they played the Chiefs close. It
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: was a three-point game. Outside of that, you know, like
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: I said, they haven't had been tested too much. They
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: had the Raiders to start.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Excuse me.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: They had the Dolphins to start. They beat up on
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: the hapless Chargers. They beat the Saints by eight. And then,
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: like I said, they lost a three-point game to the
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: Chiefs and then got trounced last week.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: DT.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: Bill's offense against this defense, for me, the highlight is
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: Max Crosby. I'm not trying to disrespect them by saying
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: I don't know many of their defenders.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know many of the defenders outside
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: of Max Crosby.
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: I know Mad Max is an interesting player because of
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: his motor, how often he gets after it.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: He does not stop all that other stuff. He had
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: an interesting offseason, to.
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: Say the least, being traded to Baltimore and then not
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: traded because of his knee. And then, you know, he
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: was pretty pissed about that. But he's still playing for
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: the Raiders, still producing defensively. and plays with.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: That hot motor. And that's really, I don't know much
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: about him, DT, on defense.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've seen some great pass rushers in the first
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: five weeks of the season. And, you know, one of
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: the best ever interior D linemen last week with Aaron Donald.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: And he got 17 once and ragdolled him, which is
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: crazy to see somebody ragdoll 17.
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: Put his ass into the earth, though, as well. He
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: got a chance to get a nice pancake once.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: True.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: But, no, it's somebody you've got to be aware of
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: in Max Crosby. They do have an interior defensive lineman
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: named Tonka. What a D lineman name that is, Tonka.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: Born to be a D lineman. But he's in concussion
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: protocol and probably not playing. So that's their best defensive lineman. So, yeah,
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: other than Max Crosby, I really don't know either. I
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: think the plan has to be simple that we have been.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: Like when we haven't been getting the ball out quick
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: or Josh has been limited or whatever, The pocket's collapsing
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: on him with these good pass rushers, and he's getting flustered.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: So I think.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: Monday they did a good job of getting the ball
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: out quick or getting the feet moving.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: Or Josh running. Yeah, exactly.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: So I think that has to be the same to
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: let that motor go and Max Crosby for the first
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: couple quarters until they're down by 30 and he throws
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: in the towel in the third quarter and we don't
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: have to worry about him.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. That would be sweet. I agree.
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: I would love to see. a nice performance, especially after
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: seeing how New England took care of him. I know
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: you don't have to necessarily compare, but it's that kind
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: of league where I don't want to see my rival
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: doing better than me. So it'll be interesting to see
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: Bill's offense versus that defense. I would like to see
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: DJ Moore chill.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: That's me personally. Keep chilling. Let this man chill.
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: He would have last week, Raiders, bye week, and then
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: get him ready for the Baltimore game. That would be
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: perfect for me, to be honest. I would love to
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: see them let him rest again. Keon Coleman with another
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: touchdown last week. I know that the offense, again, the
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: passing game was a little bit disjointed, but it's not
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: all just because of the fact that Josh Allen was running.
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: Some of it was the receivers not getting open, so
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: let them have another week. Skyler Bell was only targeted
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: a couple times. This should be the type of opponent,
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: is what I'm trying to say, Bills Mafia, that you
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: can get right. If the Patriots can put 45 on them,
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: no problem. Then you should be able to put up
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: some points on them. Let's get the offense back in rhythm.
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: Let's find a way to get Kincaid.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know where the.
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: Fuck he's at everybody loves Kincaid and I'm always on
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: his hater train. Where the fuck has he been lately?
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: And people on Twitter, like, is he hurt? I'm like,
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: and then they're like, well, how can he be hurt?
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: Cause he's still playing 70% of the stats. Like he's,
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: I don't, I don't know, man. Like, can I see
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: him show back up? That would be nice. That would
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: be a nice little, you know, a feather in the
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: cap as we getting ready to go into the bi-week.
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: So get the offense on track. Let DJ chill would
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: be my, would be my call. And, and hopefully, James
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: Cook can stop this fumbling issue. It would be nice
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: to have a clean James Cook game where we don't
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: even have to talk about fumbles. Now, Bill's defense against
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: this offense, I mean, get to Kirk, right? Find a
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: way to light him up. Find a way to heat
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: his ass up. Old guy, old quarterback, accurate, very accurate quarterback,
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: but heat him up, man.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: Heat him up.
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: They get down early. They don't have all of the weapons.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: I know that they've got the Brock guy. I know
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: Bowers is a monster. You find a way to I
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: don't know if you can live in linebackers since Puka
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: got 17 catches last week, find a way to double
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: team him and, and make and force Kirk cousins to
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: throw against your, your corners. And hopefully the defensive line,
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: excuse me, can heat them up before it's too, you know,
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: before it's too late.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's your key there.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: You got to get Kurt, you know, you got to
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: take advantage of the obvious of him not being able
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: to move, you know, Aaron, Aaron Rogers type of game plan, right? You,
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: You hit him a few times, it's going to be tough.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: He is a tough MF-er, though, Kirk Cousins. He'll take
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: those hits. Just because you hit him doesn't mean he's
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: off his game. But the point is he's not mobile
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: enough to get out of those, so take the hits
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: for negative yardage and go from there. I don't think
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: it's like you hit him and he's off his game.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: It's you hit him to get the negative yardage.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: The get right for the offense, and all these, I
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: think it even means more for this defense to have
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: some plays, maybe a few turnovers on the back end.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: We need some confidence rebuilt on the back end of
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: this defense. And as much as I want to see
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: Dalton Kincaid get back into action and Skyler Bell find
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: his way and James Cook finally have a, not have
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: to worry about fumbling like, yeah, But on the defensive end,
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: I want to see more improvement. Like, I want to
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: see the get right on their side because we, like
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: we've talked about, we're real in here. We need some
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: confidence built. And, you know, a couple turnovers on the road.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: They're having their Kumbaya training camp 2.0 this week.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: The team's all together.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: They're on the West Coast coming together, doing their thing. And,
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: you know, to come back, okay, defense, a few big turnovers,
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: good bounce back going into the bye week. That confidence
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: is what we're talking about to swing that. So it's
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: not so pitiful. So I'm more focused like, yeah, that
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: would be nice for those few offensive things to get
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: right and we score 45. But I would rather see,
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: if I had a choice, I'd rather see a few
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: turnovers on the defensive end and get some swagger back
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: over there.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: I ain't mad at you. I ain't mad at you now,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: for sure. Some confidence could go a long way for that.
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: Group because that group might be like the Cowboys in
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: a minute calling a players-only meeting.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: Which was funny in the media today with Mike Tomlin
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: commenting on that. Now, as we begin to wrap up,
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: the Nickel City Crew tailgate report is presented by Queen
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: City Vintage. Please head on over to Queen City Vintage. Listen,

• 51:08
  Speaker 3: City Vintage, again, on Elmwood across from 40 Thieves. Shout
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: out to the contest winners. I'm going to put it
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: out for the Norwood because DT never sent me the
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: picture like he was supposed to.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: But again, the mayor is the mayor. He's busy. And
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: I know the mayor is the mayor.
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: He's getting ready to tell you how busy he is,
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: kissing babies and shaking hands, getting ready for midterms.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: Listen, DT.
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: Over here, Crippin' Household. It was cool, man. Listen, for me,
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: Monday is always an interesting day because I don't have.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: The kids on Mondays at all.
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: I don't have any of my kids on Mondays, but somehow, someway,
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: it just happens that way. Bobby and Nate's mom doesn't
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: have ABC or ESPN, so I call Nate before. I'm
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: trying to send him a little hack. I can just
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: hear it in his voice. He's getting fucking frustrated. And
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: he's getting, and I can hear it. I mean, I
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: know my son. And I'm like, man, just talk to
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: your mom.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: She should bring you over.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: And all of a sudden, Bobby and Nate are here.
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: She drops him off. And then she stays for the game.
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: And like, it was all good, man. So listen, man,
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: we watched the game. Bobby tries to go to bed.
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, literally in overtime.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, you're going to go to bed? I'm like,
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: and the game's not even over. He's like, yeah, man,
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: I'm tired. I got to get up early, Dad. I
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: was like, this is crazy. When Groot blocked the kick,
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: I started fucking yelling, Bobby! Bobby, get down here. So
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: he came back down and got a chance.
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: So I was like, I was shocked that a high
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: school kid, fresh to know the block is going to
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: bed early anyway, but it wasn't early. So I guess
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: I should give him that because he does have to
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: get up mad early for high school. But like, I
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: was like, you're leaving in overtime. And then yes, when
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: James Cook fumbled and I was like, well, you might
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: as well go to bed now. And then the group
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: blocked the kick. And I was like, I literally was
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: just yelling Bobby to get his ass back down here.
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: And he came back down and got a chance to
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: see us win. So that was cool. Other than that DT,
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: it was slow motion here. Again, Mondays is normally an
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: off day for me where I have no kids, but
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: you know, the bills, what are the, what do we
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: always say?
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: Mafia's family. So I tried to set the, the jailbreak.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: It wasn't working. And I could hear it.
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: I could hear the anxiousness in his voice. And I
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: wasn't letting that, I was like, tell your mother to
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: bring you over here.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: I'll come get you. Cause I, he'll, he would, Nate
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: would cry. He had to miss the bills.
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: He would, it wouldn't be good. So I would never
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: punish him like that. So it was cool over here, man. Me, Bobby, Nate,
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: and their mom.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: That was it. That was it. Slow motion.
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: Bills make you want to shout. Shout out to Bobby
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: last week. Tell us about the homecoming court experience.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, you are now. I think I put it on
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: Facebook or Instagram.
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: In this house, I don't know about other houses, but

  Speaker 3: other shit. When I tell you the kid's popular, Bobby
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: is so quiet.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: He's so unassuming.
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: He is not trying to seek fame or anything like that.
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: He is just a good young man.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: When they said his name, I had to turn around
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: and look at the kids in the crowd. I was like, damn.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: They love my son.
• 54:40
