- 1:38Speaker 2: was like, you know what, we kind of just jumped
- 1:40Speaker 2: back in at the perfect time because little did we
- 1:43Speaker 2: know after last Saturday that all of Bill's Mafia hell
- 1:48Speaker 2: would break loose.
- 1:49Speaker 3: So let's just discuss it all.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Let's go in chronological order, and let's put a bowl

- 2:19Speaker 4: and us here at Nicol City Crew.
- 2:21Speaker 1: And wow, what a week we had? What a week
- 2:23Speaker 1: we had?
- 2:24Speaker 4: They say, you know, when hell freeze is over, and
- 2:26Speaker 4: it seems like hell the past week, but it's also
- 2:29Speaker 4: about five degrees out so hell Mike throws over here
- 2:33Speaker 4: in Buffalo because it's uh, it's serious with this temperature.
- 2:36Speaker 4: But at the same time, you know, a brutal, brutal
- 2:40Speaker 4: couple days for for.
- 2:41Speaker 1: The Mafia, And yeah, there's nothing left to it but dumbpack.
- 2:44Speaker 4: So this is truly gonna be a therapy session. Rob,
- 2:47Speaker 4: put the money at the door, sit in the funny chair.
- 2:50Speaker 4: We got a lot of shit to get through.
- 2:53Speaker 3: We sure do, man, we sure do.
- 2:55Speaker 2: But you know, it's funny because you know, every season
- 2:58Speaker 2: when it ends, you know, there's always that disappointment when
- 3:01Speaker 2: you don't reach the ultimate goal.
- 3:03Speaker 3: And obviously we didn't again this year.
- 3:04Speaker 2: But there's a lot to talk about in respects to it,
- 3:08Speaker 2: from everything from last Saturday on.
- 3:10Speaker 3: So let's let's just go at it in chronological order.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Since we missed Nicol City Crew, we missed you guys
- 3:14Speaker 2: this last couple of weeks. DT Saturday, you know, the
- 3:18Speaker 2: season comes to an end in dramatic fashion thirty three
- 3:21Speaker 2: ten in overtime. And I wanted to get your thoughts
- 3:24Speaker 2: on it because I've got some very pointed thoughts about it,
- 3:26Speaker 2: and I've been doing my spiring sessions on Twitter for
- 3:30Speaker 2: sure since last Saturday. I wanted to get yours first
- 3:34Speaker 2: because I don't want to put words in your mouth
- 3:36Speaker 2: or anything like that, But what what were your.
- 3:38Speaker 3: Takeaways from that game?
- 3:39Speaker 2: Because boy, that was that was a tough pill to
- 3:42Speaker 2: swallow for a multitude of reasons, and I know that
- 3:45Speaker 2: we'll get into to them tonight.
- 3:48Speaker 4: Well, I think the bullet point reactions from that game
- 3:54Speaker 4: were heartbreaking.
- 3:57Speaker 1: M familiar. Yeah seventeen finally got.
- 4:03Speaker 2: His Yeah, okay, okay, what do you mean by that?
- 4:08Speaker 2: You mean like chickens coming.
- 4:09Speaker 4: In and the fact of we have it in all
- 4:11Speaker 4: these heartbreaking fashions, all these losses through the years, everything
- 4:14Speaker 4: we've gone through. You really can't pin it down on
- 4:17Speaker 4: one seven. I think Saturday there was a lot of things.
- 4:20Speaker 4: But when you are the face of a franchise and
- 4:23Speaker 4: play like that, you take the blame. And he does
- 4:26Speaker 4: take the blame. It's nobody's questioning that by any means.
- 4:29Speaker 4: But this was his first one out of this cycle
- 4:32Speaker 4: of heartbreaking defeats that we can point to him on.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's it's solely on him in respects
- 4:39Speaker 2: to the offensive performance, for sure, And I definitely echo that.
- 4:43Speaker 2: You know, one of the things that I was arguing
- 4:45Speaker 2: with the most with Bills Mafia Met members this week
- 4:49Speaker 2: was that, you know a lot of people were lamenting that,
- 4:51Speaker 2: you know, catch no catch and that kind of thing,
- 4:53Speaker 2: and talking about the bills got screwed and and I
- 4:56Speaker 2: don't think I know that it is a defense mechanism
- 4:58Speaker 2: DT it it.
- 5:00Speaker 3: Helps you cope, it helps you make you feel better.
- 5:02Speaker 2: I know that I was on other space with She'd
- 5:05Speaker 2: the day after the game, so this is before the
- 5:07Speaker 2: news came down about the head coach, and you know,
- 5:10Speaker 2: I was explaining that, like, it's a coping mechanism. It
- 5:12Speaker 2: makes you feel better to be able to point to
- 5:15Speaker 2: something that was out of your control, so to speak, Well,
- 5:17Speaker 2: the refs screwed us, and the refs have it out
- 5:19Speaker 2: for us, and this and that. I just don't buy
- 5:21Speaker 2: that type of stuff. I'm never going to be in
- 5:23Speaker 2: a situation where I blame the refs. It's going to
- 5:26Speaker 2: be very very rare for me because of the fact
- 5:28Speaker 2: that there's death. There's rarely a chance where an opportunity
- 5:32Speaker 2: where there's just literally one call or two calls that
- 5:35Speaker 2: were made that went against you and that decided the
- 5:37Speaker 2: entire game. Most of the time, there's a sequence of
- 5:39Speaker 2: events of different things that you could control beforehand. And
- 5:42Speaker 2: I think that the fact that seventeen turned the ball
- 5:45Speaker 2: over five four times, five times on the offense with
- 5:48Speaker 2: that Jimbo fumble in the first quarter. I think that
- 5:51Speaker 2: there's really nowhere to hide on this one.
- 5:53Speaker 3: DT.
- 5:54Speaker 2: For me, blaming the refs is kind of it's just
- 5:57Speaker 2: kind of lame to me. It's kind of corny. I've
- 5:59Speaker 2: said it all we long when I'm sparring with some
- 6:01Speaker 2: of Bill Mafia members who wanted to to kind of
- 6:03Speaker 2: use that as a crutch.
- 6:04Speaker 3: DT.
- 6:05Speaker 2: You are not supposed to win any games if you
- 6:07Speaker 2: turn the ball over five times. Now, you might beat
- 6:09Speaker 2: a team that's really shitty, like the Jets or something
- 6:12Speaker 2: like that, and you might get lucky five turnovers in
- 6:15Speaker 2: a game, you're supposed to lose that game almost every time.
- 6:19Speaker 4: Yeah, but you're also not supposed to take them to
- 6:21Speaker 4: overtime and you know, and be in the game and
- 6:24Speaker 4: really have the lead late and have a chance to win,
- 6:27Speaker 4: you know, and and and all those things that the
- 6:29Speaker 4: Bill still did. You're not supposed to do those things either, right,
- 6:31Speaker 4: So that's what makes it maddening. Mm hm. Yes, of course,
- 6:34Speaker 4: of course those things shouldn't happen, but they did, and
- 6:37Speaker 4: then we were still in it with a chance to
- 6:38Speaker 4: win it, with the lead at the end. I mean, yes,
- 6:41Speaker 4: it's sought to blame, and it is a crutch, because
- 6:43Speaker 4: what are you gonna do, Like even if they come
- 6:45Speaker 4: out and say the call is wrong, it's it's Friday
- 6:47Speaker 4: and we're not playing this week.
- 6:48Speaker 1: It don't matter, you know, if the if the call
- 6:50Speaker 1: is right or wrong, but.
- 6:51Speaker 4: It is I think okay to say that that was bullshit,
- 6:54Speaker 4: you know, like that that like come on, like out
- 6:57Speaker 4: of all these things of you know, especially that exact
- 7:00Speaker 4: the catch and it happening you know twice the next
- 7:03Speaker 4: day and you know, being called on the other end
- 7:07Speaker 4: and everything like that is just like how do you
- 7:10Speaker 4: keep up with that? And that feeling of Buffalo always
- 7:14Speaker 4: getting screwed is somewhat true in that of like it
- 7:17Speaker 4: never just happens with us, right. The only time I
- 7:20Speaker 4: can ever remember it happening with us was two years
- 7:23Speaker 4: ago the Chiefs regular season game when they called the
- 7:26Speaker 4: offensive off sides and Mahomes was crying to you know
- 7:29Speaker 4: during the handshake line, Like, I can't remember any other
- 7:32Speaker 4: time that we got a questionable call and it went
- 7:35Speaker 4: our way and helped decide the game.
- 7:37Speaker 1: It's always against us.
- 7:38Speaker 4: So I think that's why it's a it's to go
- 7:41Speaker 4: there and be and feel like that because it happens
- 7:43Speaker 4: to us all too often. And you know whether the
- 7:46Speaker 4: catch was or the phantom p I calls and they
- 7:48Speaker 4: might have been pis at whatever call him at that
- 7:50Speaker 4: point in the game.
- 7:51Speaker 1: They didn't call the cooks what YadA YadA YADDI.
- 7:54Speaker 4: All that is true, and BS and the officiating crew
- 7:57Speaker 4: should be reprimanded for this. And you know, I'm so
- 8:00Speaker 4: sick of this Gene s terotor in the booth and
- 8:02Speaker 4: all these people that like are on the analyst because
- 8:05Speaker 4: what does it matter what they say, they're not the
- 8:07Speaker 4: rest of the game. Like, So I don't want to
- 8:09Speaker 4: hear your freaking opinion about it.
- 8:10Speaker 1: I don't.
- 8:11Speaker 4: It doesn't matter me what you're telling me to explain
- 8:14Speaker 4: the rule because it doesn't matter.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't matter what you say.
- 8:17Speaker 4: So I think, yes, I agree you can't use it
- 8:21Speaker 4: as a crutch, But I also stand with Mafia that
- 8:23Speaker 4: it was BS man and it does happen to us
- 8:26Speaker 4: way too often, and it never is them deciding a
- 8:30Speaker 4: game to help us. It's always the game getting decided
- 8:33Speaker 4: against us. And so I feel that, but agree you
- 8:36Speaker 4: can't put Saturday's loss on the rest it is BS
- 8:39Speaker 4: and and I don't agree with any of those calls,
- 8:42Speaker 4: but you can't put the loss on it, you know,
- 8:44Speaker 4: with the with the reality of turning the ball over
- 8:46Speaker 4: five times.
- 8:47Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that the one of the juxtaposition of
- 8:50Speaker 2: the fact that we were still in the game is
- 8:52Speaker 2: one of the most maddening things about it, DT is
- 8:54Speaker 2: the fact that you have this all world quarterback who
- 8:57Speaker 2: simultaneously puts you you know, he puts it, takes you
- 9:00Speaker 2: out of the game, and then he keeps you in
- 9:02Speaker 2: the game all at the same time. And I think
- 9:04Speaker 2: that that's one of the juxtapositions that makes and drives
- 9:06Speaker 2: us crazy because we don't really know as a as
- 9:09Speaker 2: a fan base how to deal with that, because it's
- 9:11Speaker 2: it's really hard to grasp that, like.
- 9:13Speaker 3: This dude keeps sucking up. You know.
- 9:14Speaker 2: The the fumble before the half was was huge, Like
- 9:16Speaker 2: that's a huge swing in the game, you know. And
- 9:18Speaker 2: then he's still keeping us in the game, and he's
- 9:21Speaker 2: making some great throws and different things.
- 9:22Speaker 3: Like that, but he was also offering some throws.
- 9:25Speaker 2: He's missing knocks for a potential walk off touchdown, and
- 9:27Speaker 2: he misses Shakir for a potential touchdown where he skips
- 9:31Speaker 2: the ball on the ground. So to me, it's it's
- 9:33Speaker 2: crazy because he does both like he you know, Saturday
- 9:36Speaker 2: was like a doctor Jekyl mister high performance in its finest,
- 9:39Speaker 2: like he was he was right there to help us,
- 9:41Speaker 2: and then he was right there to hurt us.
- 9:43Speaker 3: So I think that.
- 9:43Speaker 4: That's it's the it's the exaggeration on both ends. I mean,
- 9:48Speaker 4: those turnovers and the misthrows are like the worst that
- 9:52Speaker 4: could be, and then he pulls out you know some
- 9:55Speaker 4: throws that are like that throw to Kincaid for the touchdown,
- 9:58Speaker 4: like that was one of his best. Like then he's
- 10:00Speaker 4: on the totally opposite end of this. It's not even
- 10:02Speaker 4: like in the middle. It's it's all the way bad
- 10:05Speaker 4: or all the way good, like he's worse than anybody,
- 10:07Speaker 4: or he's better than anybody. Like his spectrum is incredibile.
- 10:12Speaker 4: So yeah, I agree, it's it's maddening. It's maddening.
- 10:15Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's funny because you know when you
- 10:18Speaker 2: look at it, like I said, you know, and he
- 10:19Speaker 2: and he you were absolutely right. He stood up, you know,
- 10:22Speaker 2: and everybody in Bill's mafia saw his reaction after the game,
- 10:24Speaker 2: and and how you know, emotional he was, and then
- 10:27Speaker 2: he heard how you know, when Dion Dawkins heard that
- 10:30Speaker 2: Josh you know, putting it on him, and then he
- 10:31Speaker 2: starts to get emotional because of that.
- 10:33Speaker 3: You could tell that, you know, it was really hurting him.
- 10:36Speaker 2: And then I think that he knew the sense that,
- 10:38Speaker 2: you know, the responsibility that he carried for that for
- 10:40Speaker 2: some of those mistakes that he made.
- 10:42Speaker 3: And that kind of leads into it.
- 10:43Speaker 2: DT because you know, Saturday goes by, you know, Saturday night,
- 10:48Speaker 2: and we're all dejected, and then Sunday goes by and
- 10:51Speaker 2: you're just kind of trying to come to grips with
- 10:53Speaker 2: this whole thing, and then Monday the bombshell comes. And
- 10:56Speaker 2: one of the things that you know, really struck me
- 10:58Speaker 2: was the fact that when that press conference started, I
- 11:01Speaker 2: mean I was like literally waiting.
- 11:03Speaker 3: I was, you know, they said it was gonna be
- 11:04Speaker 3: ten o'clock.
- 11:05Speaker 2: I was tuned in, ready to go, getting ready to
- 11:07Speaker 2: go to work, and you know, I was making sure
- 11:09Speaker 2: and I think they came on just a little bit
- 11:10Speaker 2: early and I wanted to hear every word. And as
- 11:14Speaker 2: bad as it was, there were a couple of things
- 11:16Speaker 2: in there that I did take away from it that
- 11:19Speaker 2: you know that I think that we can glean into
- 11:22Speaker 2: Terry Pegola a little bit. So Bill's Mapia unless you've
- 11:25Speaker 2: been under rock you all know, because that's all that
- 11:27Speaker 2: we've been talking about this entire week since Saturday. Monday,
- 11:30Speaker 2: we fired Sean McDermott, and when they let us know
- 11:33Speaker 2: that they fired him and why. On the Monday press
- 11:36Speaker 2: conference DT, you know, Pagoula talks about walking in the
- 11:39Speaker 2: locker room and he talks about seeing the players dejected
- 11:41Speaker 2: a josh, you know, crying and and different things like that,
- 11:45Speaker 2: and then he just talked about how he felt like he.
- 11:47Speaker 3: You know, he just couldn't do it anymore.
- 11:49Speaker 2: Now here at Nicol City Crew, we've already been on
- 11:52Speaker 2: this same wave leg for since, you know, since you know,
- 11:54Speaker 2: since thirteen seconds. We've at least me, I'm not gonna
- 11:57Speaker 2: put words in your mouth, but I've been I've been
- 11:59Speaker 2: done with it since the thirty teen seconds. And because
- 12:01Speaker 2: of that, I wasn't shocked when I found out the
- 12:04Speaker 2: news that they had fired him, but I wanted to
- 12:06Speaker 2: hear the explanation why. And when I heard that, it
- 12:09Speaker 2: was because of the fact that it wasn't the game.
- 12:11Speaker 2: You know, I think that there's been this national I
- 12:12Speaker 2: hate when the national I can't stay when the national
- 12:15Speaker 2: media picks up a story but they don't really listen
- 12:17Speaker 2: the Steve D. Smith's and all the talking heads. And
- 12:20Speaker 2: I heard Nick Wright. I had to turn him off
- 12:21Speaker 2: today when I was listening to his show. You know all,
- 12:24Speaker 2: well he fired you know he fired him based on
- 12:26Speaker 2: the Denver game.
- 12:27Speaker 3: No, he did not.
- 12:28Speaker 2: It was the cumulative He literally said thirteen seconds and
- 12:31Speaker 2: then the catch and you know what I mean. He
- 12:33Speaker 2: talked about all the different cumulive effects that all the
- 12:35Speaker 2: scars that we've been feeling. And that was one thing
- 12:37Speaker 2: that I did take away from it was that I
- 12:39Speaker 2: think that Terry Pegoula finally hit that wall where he
- 12:42Speaker 2: was like, holy shit, like we keep doing the same
- 12:45Speaker 2: thing and I can't do this anymore to my team.
- 12:48Speaker 3: We need a different voice.
- 12:49Speaker 2: That was something that did stick with me and something
- 12:51Speaker 2: that I actually I could, I could sympathize with because
- 12:54Speaker 2: I've been feeling.
- 12:55Speaker 3: That for quite some time DT, as you already know
- 12:57Speaker 3: me personally.
- 12:58Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the one thing I took out of that
- 13:00Speaker 4: press conference that you know, I can I can stand
- 13:04Speaker 4: behind of and you know understand, And that was my
- 13:08Speaker 4: knee jerk reaction on Saturday night, Rob was exactly that
- 13:13Speaker 4: we need somebody in here that doesn't know what this
- 13:17Speaker 4: current feeling feels like.
- 13:19Speaker 1: And then when he repeated.
- 13:20Speaker 4: That in the press conference, that was like, Yep, that's
- 13:23Speaker 4: exactly what I was saying, you know, they we need
- 13:25Speaker 4: somebody in here that doesn't know what this pain is
- 13:27Speaker 4: because eventually that's the message. The message Sean McDermott gets
- 13:31Speaker 4: up at the you know, in the mini camps and
- 13:34Speaker 4: addresses the team for the year and this is our goals,
- 13:36Speaker 4: these are our expectations. This is how we do things.
- 13:38Speaker 4: This is Buffalo caliber, whatever it is, this is how.
- 13:41Speaker 1: We do it. And then boom boom boom. Now we're
- 13:43Speaker 1: in this game.
- 13:44Speaker 4: I stand before you and I'm motivating you and telling
- 13:47Speaker 4: you how we're gonna win this game. And then we
- 13:49Speaker 4: lose in heartbreaking fashion. And then the next year the
- 13:51Speaker 4: same thing happens and we lose in heartbreaking fashion. And
- 13:54Speaker 4: then this year he stands up in front of the
- 13:55Speaker 4: team in Denver and then they lose in heartbreaking fashion.
- 13:58Speaker 1: So when does it get to you know where the team, Yes,
- 14:01Speaker 1: they respect him.
- 14:02Speaker 4: I think we saw that obviously clearly as the players
- 14:05Speaker 4: you know, upset that, you know, the coach was gone.
- 14:08Speaker 4: I think he was very well liked and a respected coach,
- 14:10Speaker 4: and he was a great coach, probably one of the best,
- 14:12Speaker 4: you know, in in the NFL. Definitely one of the
- 14:14Speaker 4: best in Buffalo Bill's history. But when does that message
- 14:18Speaker 4: just kind of go on deaf years And I'm not
- 14:19Speaker 4: saying the team's like, ah, yeah, whatever, coach, screw that.
- 14:21Speaker 1: Like you said that last year, we got killed. Like
- 14:24Speaker 1: it's just naturally.
- 14:26Speaker 3: Not there anymore.
- 14:27Speaker 1: And you can only get up and do the trust
- 14:30Speaker 1: the process and do that and then lose in this way.
- 14:33Speaker 1: This is it now, this is what happens. This is
- 14:36Speaker 1: what you do.
- 14:36Speaker 4: And it's probably went a little too long as we
- 14:39Speaker 4: as we you know, kind of concluded to And I
- 14:42Speaker 4: was definitely more of an optimist in the situation. And
- 14:45Speaker 4: you know, but I I stand behind this firing because
- 14:48Speaker 4: of that exact reason. We need a different vibe check
- 14:51Speaker 4: in this, We need a different face. We needed We
- 14:54Speaker 4: can't have the face of the franchise be known for
- 14:57Speaker 4: gut wrenching losses, right, so we need to as as
- 15:00Speaker 4: your coach. And so I think that was the thing
- 15:03Speaker 4: I took that I agree with now. When they did
- 15:06Speaker 4: fire him, originally I went right back to the Stefan
- 15:09Speaker 4: Diggs mindset of when that happened. Okay, this ship just
- 15:13Speaker 4: went down. It doesn't make a ton of sense. But
- 15:16Speaker 4: they must have a plan then, right they They were
- 15:17Speaker 4: thinking about this, all right, if he doesn't do it
- 15:20Speaker 4: this year, we're gonna move on from him.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Here's our plan to move forward.
- 15:23Speaker 4: And that pres conference said everything opposite of that that
- 15:26Speaker 4: they there was.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Really it was a knee jerk reaction.
- 15:29Speaker 4: He went in there and felt it and walked out
- 15:30Speaker 4: of that locker room and made the decision.
- 15:33Speaker 2: And so that I was like, you buy that, You
- 15:34Speaker 2: buy that that that that's what he do you. I
- 15:36Speaker 2: think that this had to be planned a little bit.
- 15:39Speaker 1: I think it was definitely planned a little bit for sure.
- 15:42Speaker 4: Now the rumors, rumors are coming out about, you know,
- 15:44Speaker 4: the strife internally between him and Beat and what what
- 15:47Speaker 4: whatever the case is with with that and getting players
- 15:49Speaker 4: and not and all that coming up, And you know,
- 15:52Speaker 4: I get that too. I understand the strife of you
- 15:55Speaker 4: know too, in the most the biggest pressure cooker, the
- 15:58Speaker 4: most competitive industry you know, in the world, and you
- 16:00Speaker 4: are continuously successful but also continuously not getting there and
- 16:04Speaker 4: the pressure is building and building and building. Obviously, you
- 16:07Speaker 4: know there's there's gonna be a time where you hit
- 16:10Speaker 4: a crossroads, and I think that was probably this year
- 16:12Speaker 4: with the distancing between being in McDermott because of that.
- 16:15Speaker 4: But you know, I think it definitely was planned it.
- 16:18Speaker 4: You know, obviously, if they're in the ANFC Championship this week,
- 16:20Speaker 4: he's not fired. If they lose the sc Championship, I
- 16:23Speaker 4: don't know. I can't firmly say, you know, it would be,
- 16:25Speaker 4: but if this was kind of the deal, obviously it would.
- 16:28Speaker 4: But I definitely echo that of like we need nothing,
- 16:32Speaker 4: it's really not.
- 16:33Speaker 1: It's it's business. It's not personal. It's it's straight business
- 16:36Speaker 1: of we.
- 16:37Speaker 4: Need a new VOD check and you know, it's it's
- 16:40Speaker 4: not always a successful move, but you know, just specifically
- 16:43Speaker 4: here in Buffalo, you you fire Ken Dorsey for not
- 16:47Speaker 4: his fault, you know, twelve minute on the field in
- 16:49Speaker 4: Denver on that Monday night, and they rattle off, you know,
- 16:51Speaker 4: they rattle off the next six wins and get the
- 16:53Speaker 4: two seed. You fire Kevin Adams and we're one of
- 16:56Speaker 4: the best teams in the NHL. After that and he
- 16:58Speaker 4: didn't change anything on there. He didn't you know, move
- 17:00Speaker 4: anything around in that right.
- 17:02Speaker 3: You know cloud, you know this is cloud and.
- 17:05Speaker 4: This is the same type of vibe. Right, Like losing
- 17:08Speaker 4: Sean McDermott, we lose a lot. But is that dark
- 17:12Speaker 4: cloud more important than what he brings as a as
- 17:16Speaker 4: a head football coach?
- 17:17Speaker 3: Right?
- 17:17Speaker 4: And I think that was the pros and cons they
- 17:19Speaker 4: had to deal with. And I sit here today and
- 17:21Speaker 4: I stand behind the firing. I'm getting pick a little
- 17:23Speaker 4: pissed off at Bill's mafia, like I get you can.
- 17:26Speaker 4: You can get upset about, you know, the press conference
- 17:28Speaker 4: and the dysfunction and all this and a team that
- 17:32Speaker 4: we lived our whole lives in this bullshit and then
- 17:35Speaker 4: it got tight for ten years and we okay, we
- 17:36Speaker 4: got it organized. We don't have intern you know, like
- 17:39Speaker 4: even if it is beef, it's internal. That's why the
- 17:41Speaker 4: dig stuff was so like, you know, eye opening, because
- 17:45Speaker 4: that was the only drama we saw in ten years.
- 17:47Speaker 4: And now in the last seventy two hours, it was
- 17:49Speaker 4: all hell broke loose and it looks sloppy and you
- 17:52Speaker 4: feel uneasy, and those scars from the drought start to
- 17:55Speaker 4: pop back up. And you're like, damn, are we gonna
- 17:56Speaker 4: go down this road again? Very true, but all these
- 18:00Speaker 4: like petitions about bringing them back and all this like
- 18:02Speaker 4: shut the fuck up. Yeah yeah, y'all were on firing
- 18:09Speaker 4: Sean McDermott, depending on whatever mood it was. After that
- 18:12Speaker 4: Philly game that went to overtime and regular season, after
- 18:15Speaker 4: anything else, you are all on to fire Sean McDermott.
- 18:17Speaker 4: We've been on the show as critical as you can
- 18:20Speaker 4: be of the somebody we have for three four years.
- 18:23Speaker 4: So like, he's not a bad coach. I think he
- 18:26Speaker 4: brings a lot to this team, but.
- 18:27Speaker 3: He's not a martyr either. He's not a minor. Like
- 18:31Speaker 3: get it again.
- 18:32Speaker 1: It had to happen, and it did happen. So now
- 18:34Speaker 1: we need to move forward.
- 18:35Speaker 4: And I do disagree with the message of goold and
- 18:37Speaker 4: being on how they move forward. All they had to
- 18:39Speaker 4: do was stand up there on that microphone and say
- 18:41Speaker 4: we made the decision. We we know we have the
- 18:43Speaker 4: best quarterback in the world. We're gonna work to get
- 18:44Speaker 4: them weapons, We're gonna try to get better. This new
- 18:46Speaker 4: coach is gonna come in. It's gonna be a new age.
- 18:48Speaker 4: We're going to the super Bowl Boom love it, see
- 18:50Speaker 4: you seeing See in the spring seeing Mini Camp.
- 18:53Speaker 1: But instead they they kind of threw up over the place.
- 18:56Speaker 2: And yeah, and before now before we get to some
- 18:59Speaker 2: of the stuff, and we can quickly go over some
- 19:01Speaker 2: of the stuff that that we didn't like about.
- 19:02Speaker 3: It, And it's in that same vein DT.
- 19:05Speaker 2: The second thing that I took from it that I
- 19:07Speaker 2: liked about it was what I've talked about for years
- 19:10Speaker 2: and you know, and you will back me up on this,
- 19:11Speaker 2: was that it's okay to raise your expectations. And we
- 19:13Speaker 2: talked about that to build Mafia and Nichol City Crew
- 19:16Speaker 2: on this show years ago. And when he made the
- 19:19Speaker 2: comment and said what is success and he's and he
- 19:22Speaker 2: plainly said his success just going to the playoffs and
- 19:26Speaker 2: being you know, in these kind of you know situations
- 19:28Speaker 2: where you're making the playoffs every year seven years in
- 19:30Speaker 2: a row. He said, it's that success. And people were
- 19:32Speaker 2: talking about how he got cut off. I knew exactly
- 19:34Speaker 2: where he was going with it. I didn't need him
- 19:37Speaker 2: to finish it, and I loved it because of the
- 19:38Speaker 2: fact that that's that's been my whole message for years,
- 19:41Speaker 2: is that you know what I mean, I wanted to
- 19:43Speaker 2: know just Terry, you know, we had an old episode
- 19:45Speaker 2: like is Terry okay?
- 19:46Speaker 3: With just being okay?
- 19:47Speaker 2: That was the first time that I got confirmation from
- 19:49Speaker 2: him from up top the hot writes to check that, like,
- 19:53Speaker 2: you know what, okay is just not okay anymore, and
- 19:56Speaker 2: like good enough is not good enough anymore. And that
- 19:58Speaker 2: was the second thing that I took from it that
- 19:59Speaker 2: I actually appreciated because of the fact that I've been
- 20:02Speaker 2: waiting to hear that. I've been waiting to be confirmed
- 20:05Speaker 2: on that because I I dreaded the fact that I
- 20:07Speaker 2: thought that my owner was just you know, complacent. We
- 20:10Speaker 2: talked about turning the car around and what it was
- 20:12Speaker 2: gonna take and is it gonna take Josh Allen going
- 20:14Speaker 2: to UH to the front office and voicing his displeasure.
- 20:17Speaker 3: What was it gonna take for him to realize it?
- 20:19Speaker 2: Now we know that it was gonna take another gut
- 20:22Speaker 2: wrenching loss for him to finally get to that point.
- 20:24Speaker 3: But I do think that it was something that was
- 20:26Speaker 3: playing now uh.
- 20:28Speaker 2: DT so some of the stuff before we go to
- 20:30Speaker 2: the head coaching stuff and we've got a transition, we've
- 20:32Speaker 2: gotta we do have to pay uh you know, it's
- 20:35Speaker 2: it's right due.
- 20:35Speaker 3: To it's it's just due to the fact that I mean,
- 20:40Speaker 3: it was that that was debacle.
- 20:42Speaker 2: And and here's one of the things that I'm I'm
- 20:44Speaker 2: I'm a little concerned about is that I don't I
- 20:46Speaker 2: don't know if I trust Brandon Bean. You know, now
- 20:49Speaker 2: we don't know all the inner workings and stuff like that.
- 20:52Speaker 2: But that whole Keyon Coleman shit was unnecessary. It was unprofessional.
- 20:56Speaker 2: I thought that, I mean, Keon's catching strays, you know,
- 20:58Speaker 2: I mean for nothing, he didn't do anything in respects
- 21:01Speaker 2: that he wasn't there to defend himself. I thought that
- 21:03Speaker 2: that was completely bush league, and I didn't like the
- 21:05Speaker 2: tone that it set because what Pagoula thought he was
- 21:08Speaker 2: doing was trying to save his GM. But his G
- 21:10Speaker 2: like the GM is is he's verse. He's adverse to
- 21:14Speaker 2: talking to the media. He knows how to how to
- 21:16Speaker 2: communicate to the media, and exactly up and let this
- 21:21Speaker 2: guy do his job. But don't try to step in
- 21:23Speaker 2: and cut him off and say, well, this wasn't his
- 21:25Speaker 2: pick and it'd been blaming.
- 21:26Speaker 3: I don't want you to play the blame game.
- 21:27Speaker 2: And I didn't like it as soon as I heard that,
- 21:29Speaker 2: I was on Twitter like, oh, here comes the blame game,
- 21:32Speaker 2: because I thought that there was there's some dissension in
- 21:34Speaker 2: the ranks. And I understand that we talked about it
- 21:37Speaker 2: a little bit that McDermott was dropping like breadcrumbs, like
- 21:40Speaker 2: you know, talking talking a little shit here, and and
- 21:43Speaker 2: do you like, you know, do you think you have
- 21:44Speaker 2: a super Bowl caliber roster? Being says yes, McDermott says,
- 21:47Speaker 2: I love my guys. Well you're not really answering the
- 21:49Speaker 2: fucking question. Then you know he's dropping stuff. As soon
- 21:52Speaker 2: as we're getting ready for the matchup with Jacksonville, he
- 21:54Speaker 2: wants to praise and sing the praises of you know
- 21:56Speaker 2: what I mean of Jacoby Myers.
- 21:57Speaker 3: Right at the trade deadline, he's talking about you know,
- 22:00Speaker 3: what do you want?
- 22:00Speaker 2: He's like, that's not my thing, you know, like that's
- 22:03Speaker 2: being you know what I mean, Like I tell him
- 22:04Speaker 2: what I need, But that's him. You could tell that
- 22:07Speaker 2: that McDermott was frustrated by the roster and and we
- 22:11Speaker 2: are as well, like I don't I'm not mad at
- 22:12Speaker 2: him about that because we were frustrated with the roster.
- 22:14Speaker 3: The roster's not good enough. I didn't like that they
- 22:16Speaker 3: were trying to kind of dry snitch on him and
- 22:19Speaker 3: throw him under the bus. I didn't I didn't really
- 22:20Speaker 3: appreciate that. I didn't need that from them on that
- 22:22Speaker 3: press conference.
- 22:24Speaker 4: Yeah, we it was very tone deaf, right like we
- 22:28Speaker 4: you know, it was a sensitive subject and yeah, if
- 22:30Speaker 4: you would, I stand behind the firing.
- 22:32Speaker 1: But I also respect Sean McDermott a hell of a lot.
- 22:34Speaker 4: And I don't think he you know, he doesn't deserve
- 22:36Speaker 4: to get drugged by any means. This is again strictly business,
- 22:39Speaker 4: like nothing nothing else but business here, and they made
- 22:43Speaker 4: it personal, right like it was business, and they made
- 22:45Speaker 4: it personal, and that's not the way to to to
- 22:48Speaker 4: do things in this professional workforce, no matter what, you know,
- 22:51Speaker 4: what the business is. And I agree, I felt like
- 22:54Speaker 4: they needed to prove that it was one side or
- 22:57Speaker 4: the other.
- 22:57Speaker 1: And you know, and so that also tells me that.
- 23:00Speaker 4: It was a little hot in there, right, it was
- 23:02Speaker 4: a little hot in the They wouldn't have they wouldn't
- 23:04Speaker 4: have come out and trying to defend themselves so aggressively
- 23:07Speaker 4: if they if if everything was kind of cool with
- 23:09Speaker 4: Sean and like, yeah, they had some disagreements and then
- 23:11Speaker 4: they made this decision to move on. I don't think
- 23:14Speaker 4: it was cool, right because they came out ready to go,
- 23:16Speaker 4: like ready to fight for themselves on this, like, yeah,
- 23:20Speaker 4: we weren't happy with Sean and then we let him go,
- 23:22Speaker 4: and now everyone's pissed, and now we're gonna we're gonna
- 23:25Speaker 4: tell you why it wasn't you know, we did pick
- 23:28Speaker 4: the right guy to let go. So you felt they played,
- 23:31Speaker 4: you know, they played some cards that the public shouldn't
- 23:34Speaker 4: see and that that's sloppy, and this organization hasn't been
- 23:37Speaker 4: sloppy in a long time, so seeing that is is
- 23:39Speaker 4: definitely concerning, seeing that they don't have a grasp on
- 23:42Speaker 4: the volume. Like they were surprised that that press conference
- 23:46Speaker 4: was kind of hot, you know, they.
- 23:47Speaker 1: Were surprised, like they felt like, yes, they were.
- 23:51Speaker 4: Just gonna sit up there and like that they didn't
- 23:53Speaker 4: just lose for the eight time in a row in
- 23:55Speaker 4: heartbreaking fashion and then fire the coach that did all
- 23:57Speaker 4: this for the last eight years and they just like
- 24:00Speaker 4: another season ending press.
- 24:01Speaker 1: Conference, Like they came in there like not prepared whatsoever.
- 24:05Speaker 4: And that you know, concern that concerns me to the
- 24:08Speaker 4: fact that they don't have the finger on the pulse,
- 24:10Speaker 4: so like so they don't when everyone is bitch, do
- 24:13Speaker 4: they know we need a receiver?
- 24:14Speaker 1: Then do they know?
- 24:15Speaker 4: Like they do they know these things like and and
- 24:18Speaker 4: that's like that's the concerning part where I come from.
- 24:21Speaker 4: But yeah, definitely not okay to to roll Sean like
- 24:23Speaker 4: that didn't deserve it at all. Again, moved on strictly
- 24:27Speaker 4: business and they made it personal, which shows me that
- 24:29Speaker 4: they're sloppy. They're playing too many cards that we shouldn't see,
- 24:32Speaker 4: and they had to make it a point to defend themselves.
- 24:35Speaker 1: And that's just that. It's a it's a making of
- 24:38Speaker 1: showing me that's.
- 24:38Speaker 4: Not stable and I don't want to keep going in
- 24:40Speaker 4: the future with people that aren't stable, right, So that's
- 24:43Speaker 4: it's concerning.
- 24:45Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it is a little bit, you know, and
- 24:46Speaker 2: being you know, wanted to kind of sit there and
- 24:48Speaker 2: thump his chest and talk about you know, when they
- 24:50Speaker 2: insinuated that he was kind of, you know, trying to
- 24:53Speaker 2: ride the coattails and be a little bit slick, and
- 24:55Speaker 2: he you know, he wants all my wife's cry and
- 24:57Speaker 2: what she here, you know, and like I don't give
- 24:59Speaker 2: a fuck about any of that ship, like I don't
- 25:01Speaker 2: care about any of that, Like I, this is professional sports,
- 25:03Speaker 2: and tell her not to come to the facility. Then
- 25:05Speaker 2: if she's gonna be calling, you know what I mean,
- 25:07Speaker 2: keep her keep her at home. Yeah, I didn't like that.
- 25:11Speaker 2: A lot of people thought that he's being a little
- 25:13Speaker 2: bit disingenuous with with some of the things that's been
- 25:16Speaker 2: going on.
- 25:16Speaker 3: So listen, you're absolutely right.
- 25:18Speaker 2: It is business and it's a situation where I feel like,
- 25:22Speaker 2: you know, it needed to happen.
- 25:23Speaker 3: It had to happen.
- 25:25Speaker 2: It was time, it was overdue in my book, So
- 25:28Speaker 2: it is what it is now as we transition tonight's episode, listen,
- 25:31Speaker 2: all season long, we really appreciate uh Queen City vantage.

- 26:34Speaker 2: about Like I saw like fifty thousand people signed, and
- 26:37Speaker 2: I'm like, are you guys fucking with me? Like I'm
- 26:40Speaker 2: on Twitter and I'm like I can't tell them about
- 26:41Speaker 2: being punk right now. I'm like, what, like, have some respect,
- 26:44Speaker 2: have some self respect, Like what do you think you
- 26:47Speaker 2: think you're gonna sign a petition?
- 26:48Speaker 3: And then Terry Bagula is gonna say oh man, you
- 26:51Speaker 3: know what, I may have made a mistake.
- 26:52Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and re sign you know, Sean McDermott,
- 26:55Speaker 2: like get the fuck out, like he's not doing that
- 26:57Speaker 2: and you shouldn't even want to be in that court
- 26:59Speaker 2: like him as flowers. That's fine if you want to
- 27:01Speaker 2: give him his flower. I've given him his flowers enough
- 27:03Speaker 2: when he deserved him in his moments. I said, I'll
- 27:05Speaker 2: stand on it. This was his best year coaching wise,
- 27:08Speaker 2: based on what he was given and the injuries that
- 27:11Speaker 2: he had to ender.
- 27:12Speaker 3: But in the end it still didn't get done.
- 27:14Speaker 2: So nine years is a long time and nine cracks
- 27:17Speaker 2: at the kicks at the can that's a long time.
- 27:19Speaker 3: So Bill's mafi, can we just can we quit with.
- 27:22Speaker 2: This ship with the whole I understand that you guys
- 27:25Speaker 2: feel that he was disrespected and and the presser came
- 27:28Speaker 2: out and they said they said admirable job, which he
- 27:30Speaker 2: doesn't really do it just as anyway, and then they
- 27:32Speaker 2: spelled admiral.
- 27:34Speaker 3: I get it.
- 27:35Speaker 2: It may just look like like dummies, but just like
- 27:37Speaker 2: let it go, like he's gone, He's going to find
- 27:39Speaker 2: another job whenever he's ready for another one. Like it's Okay,
- 27:43Speaker 2: he's a big boy, he's a grown up. He's getting
- 27:46Speaker 2: paid millions of dollars.
- 27:47Speaker 3: It's okay.
- 27:48Speaker 2: I that kind of left a little bit of a
- 27:50Speaker 2: taste in my mouth, DT, because now I've got half
- 27:53Speaker 2: of Bill's mafia on Twitter, and I know that you've
- 27:55Speaker 2: seen it on your spaces as well, where they're they're
- 27:57Speaker 2: talk just you know, McDermot didn't deserve this and this
- 27:59Speaker 2: and that and this, just like yo, guys, nine chances,
- 28:02Speaker 2: like nine chances.
- 28:03Speaker 3: Like what else do I what else do you have
- 28:05Speaker 3: to say? This is pro sports. It is getting it
- 28:07Speaker 3: is getting a little.
- 28:08Speaker 4: Result for a result driven Yeah, result driven as it gets.
- 28:13Speaker 1: Man, you win or you die.
- 28:14Speaker 4: You win or you die, like and and that's all
- 28:17Speaker 4: it is, you know, that's all it is.
- 28:19Speaker 1: You win or you die. It was his time to die.
- 28:21Speaker 1: And I agree, like and.
- 28:23Speaker 4: It's like if he if we didn't have five turnovers
- 28:26Speaker 4: and it was just another like one of those playoff
- 28:28Speaker 4: games where we just couldn't get off the field on
- 28:30Speaker 4: third down, which we couldn't by the way, on that
- 28:32Speaker 4: last drive two third and tens converted.
- 28:35Speaker 1: You know, we preached discipline and.
- 28:37Speaker 4: Everything, and we turned the ball over five times we
- 28:39Speaker 4: get dumbass penalties Lario Genobi jumping off sides on a
- 28:42Speaker 4: fumble recovery like a bunch of shit that is uncharacteristic
- 28:45Speaker 4: of what we were built and preached on.
- 28:47Speaker 1: And we can't get off the field.
- 28:49Speaker 4: On third down and you know on the final run
- 28:52Speaker 4: to in regulation when they scored the touchdown and in
- 28:54Speaker 4: overtime obviously, so it you know, if it did wasn't
- 28:59Speaker 4: five turnovers and we lost again, then everyone's like, oh,
- 29:02Speaker 4: Sean mcgermay needs to like it was so each day
- 29:05Speaker 4: was like different.
- 29:06Speaker 1: If they won, we love Sean mcderhmam. If they lose,
- 29:08Speaker 1: we need to fire him.
- 29:09Speaker 4: There was no so like don't come at me like
- 29:11Speaker 4: your some like you're so sad for this dude, you
- 29:15Speaker 4: know because he because he got fired from a National
- 29:17Speaker 4: Football League team that can't do it like he isn't
- 29:20Speaker 4: he it wasn't doing his job to completion and we
- 29:24Speaker 4: gave him this long to do it and he didn't
- 29:26Speaker 4: do it, so we fired him like that's it, Like
- 29:28Speaker 4: that's it, And yeah, I agree Bill's mafia. That side
- 29:31Speaker 4: of Bill's mafia's pissing me off. If you're on Nicol
- 29:33Speaker 4: City Crew and you're a part of that. I'm calling
- 29:35Speaker 4: you out. That's bullshit.
- 29:36Speaker 1: Quit with this. We got to start focusing on the future.
- 29:39Speaker 2: As we do focus on the future and we start
- 29:41Speaker 2: to transition. You know, it's funny because when they talked
- 29:45Speaker 2: about it today, maybe maybe chuckle because you know, they said, well,
- 29:49Speaker 2: you know, are you looking for offense defense or whatever
- 29:51Speaker 2: the case may be, And you know, Bean says it's
- 29:54Speaker 2: going to be an exhaustive approach and they don't have
- 29:56Speaker 2: any preferences, nobody. They don't have a you know, a
- 29:59Speaker 2: candidate list or thing like that ahead of time. And
- 30:02Speaker 2: then to get the news today about Philip Rivers was
- 30:04Speaker 2: just funny. So to run it down for Bill's mafia
- 30:06Speaker 2: if you don't know, just I know, sometimes people are
- 30:08Speaker 2: just unplugged on the actual minutia of it. But we
- 30:11Speaker 2: have interviewed a bunch of guys already, and Joe Brady
- 30:14Speaker 2: was interviewed two days ago on Wednesday, the same thing
- 30:18Speaker 2: for Brian Dable yesterday. Okay, lou An Rumo, the Indianapolis
- 30:24Speaker 2: coachs defense coordinator who was the long time Cincinnati Bengals
- 30:27Speaker 2: defensive coordinator, was interviewed.
- 30:28Speaker 3: Yesterday as well.
- 30:29Speaker 2: They've got scheduled interviews coming up for Mike McDaniel, which
- 30:33Speaker 2: I actually like. You know, I like him. I know
- 30:36Speaker 2: he's quirky and stuff like that, but you know what
- 30:37Speaker 2: I mean, I do, I do like him. So he's
- 30:40Speaker 2: coming up tomorrow. They're actually going down, they said, to
- 30:42Speaker 2: Florida to see him.
- 30:44Speaker 3: Philip Rivers tomorrow as well.
- 30:46Speaker 2: And then you've got Anthony Lynn, the former Bill's interim
- 30:50Speaker 2: coach that was after Rex was fired. So he's gonna
- 30:53Speaker 2: get a chance on I think it's Sunday. I think
- 30:57Speaker 2: he gets an opportunity. No, no, that's tomorrow than Anthony Weaver,
- 31:01Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator as well. Then they're gonna
- 31:04Speaker 2: finish it up on Sunday with Grant Yudinsky, who is
- 31:08Speaker 2: a new name. He's thirty years old, one of these
- 31:11Speaker 2: young whopoper snappers. He's the Jacksonville Jaguarskoski.
- 31:16Speaker 3: DT. I mean, he's like they said, he's like four
- 31:18Speaker 3: months older than Josts. I'm like, I don't know if
- 31:19Speaker 3: that's gonna work.
- 31:20Speaker 2: So, uh, DT, who is your early clubhouse favorite?
- 31:25Speaker 3: Do you have one?
- 31:26Speaker 2: I know that a lot of people have talked about
- 31:27Speaker 2: Clint Kubiak, we've got to wait now for the super
- 31:30Speaker 2: Bowl to be over, or see what happens this weekend
- 31:32Speaker 2: if you want an opportunity to interview him.
- 31:35Speaker 3: Is there a leader in the clubhouse for you? Uh?
- 31:38Speaker 3: Anybody that you're leaning towards?
- 31:40Speaker 2: Anything like that, because I think you already know what
- 31:42Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, but I was interested to know what
- 31:45Speaker 2: you what you thought?
- 31:46Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been through I've been through it a little
- 31:49Speaker 4: bit this week. I originally, you know, went with the obvious,
- 31:54Speaker 4: like all right, young, offensive, right, young, offensive, That's where
- 31:56Speaker 4: I want to go. And then looking into it, it's like, hey,
- 32:00Speaker 4: you know, well I get the the one piece, you know,
- 32:03Speaker 4: I that if we didn't go that route, I argue with,
- 32:07Speaker 4: you bring somebody in that isn't you just bring a
- 32:09Speaker 4: new coordinator in and they're good in two years, they're
- 32:12Speaker 4: going to get a head coach job. If they come
- 32:14Speaker 4: in and they're good and you're your head coach, they're staying,
- 32:16Speaker 4: you know.
- 32:16Speaker 1: So I get that piece of it, right, But.
- 32:19Speaker 4: I was also thinking, Okay, well, then some of these
- 32:22Speaker 4: guys might not get head coaching looks that I want
- 32:24Speaker 4: as ROC. Then you know, when Joe Brady leaves whatever,
- 32:27Speaker 4: if Dable's not getting any head coaching looks anywhere, right,
- 32:31Speaker 4: So if he's not gonna be a head coach, come
- 32:33Speaker 4: in a ROC and then get one of these dudes.
- 32:35Speaker 1: That like I need, I need. I thought I needed
- 32:37Speaker 1: somebody like cause I was not hurt from Sean McDermott.
- 32:42Speaker 3: But.
- 32:44Speaker 4: He he did have respect to the locker room, like
- 32:47Speaker 4: the team, you know, so you need like somebody that like,
- 32:50Speaker 4: you know, has that type of like vibe to him,
- 32:53Speaker 4: and that Brian Flores kept popping into my head from
- 32:56Speaker 4: from Minnesota, like come in, have commanded them, you know,
- 33:00Speaker 4: and then we can bring somebody fun like a like
- 33:03Speaker 4: a day Ball or you know, McDaniel and is oc Well.
- 33:06Speaker 4: As the week kind of rolls, that changes a little bit.
- 33:09Speaker 4: I think we definitely probably got to go offensive minded.
- 33:13Speaker 4: I'm who who I think they're gonna hire is Dayball.
- 33:18Speaker 4: I think Terry Pagola is predictable. Terry is I've done
- 33:26Speaker 4: this a thousand times, right, like a thousand times. But
- 33:29Speaker 4: he brings back Lindy Rough. He he brings Kevin Adams
- 33:33Speaker 4: in because he knew him. We're bringing in, you know,
- 33:35Speaker 4: We're bringing Gabe Davis and Jordan Poyer, you know, back
- 33:38Speaker 4: like we're it's what one Buffalo does. Like, I think
- 33:47Speaker 4: they are gonna hire Dable, I can see it. I
- 33:49Speaker 4: really don't put a lot into his stock, like not
- 33:53Speaker 4: being successful in New York. He was a Coach of
- 33:55Speaker 4: the Year year one and you know, quarterbacking tough. I
- 33:59Speaker 4: get it, he lost his shit a few times on
- 34:01Speaker 4: the side, Okay, but like he didn't have Josh Allen. Right,
- 34:03Speaker 4: none of these dudes have ever had Josh Allen. So like,
- 34:06Speaker 4: I'm not really looking at their past and like critiquing
- 34:08Speaker 4: them too much on it.
- 34:09Speaker 1: It's like, who can leave this team? I think Dave
- 34:11Speaker 1: Ball definitely could.
- 34:12Speaker 4: He has the relationships, he has that fire, he will
- 34:15Speaker 4: demand respect.
- 34:15Speaker 1: I think he can definitely do it.
- 34:17Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know, I also get like why he
- 34:23Speaker 4: wasn't getting head coaching interviews because what he did it
- 34:26Speaker 4: kind of showed he wasn't ready to be the head coach,
- 34:27Speaker 4: but from an organization that was turning, from an organization
- 34:31Speaker 4: that was burning in the biggest media market in the world. Right,
- 34:34Speaker 4: So like it's tough. Mike McDaniel, I like his mind.
- 34:40Speaker 4: I would love to see the layups he could create
- 34:43Speaker 4: for Josh and we bitched and bitched for years that
- 34:45Speaker 4: we don't get any layups. And now he would come
- 34:48Speaker 4: in and you guarantee we're in layup lines a couple
- 34:50Speaker 4: of games a year. But can he overtake the entire team?
- 34:53Speaker 1: Right?
- 34:53Speaker 4: And that was the problem in Miami when things started
- 34:56Speaker 4: not to go well.
- 34:57Speaker 1: He wasn't a leader of men, seems like, right. So
- 35:01Speaker 1: he also had Tua.
- 35:03Speaker 2: And like they it looked like he was on teetering
- 35:06Speaker 2: before blowing up and got him.
- 35:08Speaker 3: He got him to come back in, so, you know whatever.
- 35:11Speaker 4: That's so I'm I'm cool with Mike McDaniel's mind. I
- 35:15Speaker 4: could get down with it. I think they're gonna go dable.
- 35:18Speaker 4: I also so then, I you know, I like the
- 35:20Speaker 4: you know, keeping it familiar, the Davis Web stuff, you know.
- 35:25Speaker 3: But I'm nervous. That makes me nervous just right. Well,
- 35:30Speaker 3: because he's Josh. I don't think Josh needs a buddy
- 35:33Speaker 3: right now.
- 35:34Speaker 4: I think people like Sean Payton have experienced expressed very
- 35:38Speaker 4: high regards to him, and Sean Payton I I I
- 35:41Speaker 4: have a lot of respect for him this week.
- 35:42Speaker 3: You know, he's an asshole, but he's a great coach.
- 35:44Speaker 4: But he knows how to win and and develop quarterbacks
- 35:48Speaker 4: and you know, and and Davis web coming.
- 35:50Speaker 1: Not that Josh Allen needs developing, but you know.
- 35:52Speaker 3: You gotta get some stuff. You got to get some
- 35:54Speaker 3: of these bad habits out of him, though, for sure
- 35:56Speaker 3: it's time.
- 35:56Speaker 4: And so you know, somebody that Davis web familiar bills
- 35:59Speaker 4: like and familiar.
- 36:00Speaker 1: He's young.
- 36:01Speaker 4: He could be the future, you know, and the next
- 36:03Speaker 4: Sean McVay esque, right, like, the next type of just
- 36:05Speaker 4: that young.
- 36:06Speaker 1: Guy that that that that makes it happen.
- 36:08Speaker 2: That's what they say about this. And then they also
- 36:11Speaker 2: say that about Kobik. Well, Kubiak's more of a he
- 36:13Speaker 2: calms everything down.
- 36:14Speaker 4: But I would if we're going that route, I'd rather
- 36:16Speaker 4: have somebody like Davis Webb who is familiar, right, Like,
- 36:19Speaker 4: if we are going young and inexperience, I want somebody
- 36:22Speaker 4: who knows Josh right, So.
- 36:24Speaker 1: I got down. I mean, I'm I'm cool with Philip
- 36:27Speaker 1: Rivers to fuck.
- 36:30Speaker 2: Why he just goboys than anybody, like he knows you know,
- 36:38Speaker 2: he played, he played in the league for twenty years.
- 36:39Speaker 3: Like he's fine.
- 36:40Speaker 4: He knows how to he knows how to stand in
- 36:42Speaker 4: front and lead a team, you know, so I think
- 36:46Speaker 4: that's I think that's very unlikely.
- 36:47Speaker 1: I think like most likely is stable.
- 36:49Speaker 4: I'm cool with the McDaniel thing if but if we
- 36:52Speaker 4: are all those out, I.
- 36:54Speaker 1: Like Davis Webb.
- 36:54Speaker 2: So that's where I stand, all right, you know, okay,
- 36:58Speaker 2: I can I can respect your takes for sure.
- 37:01Speaker 3: I can respect your takes.
- 37:02Speaker 2: I think it's funny that we both have, you know,
- 37:04Speaker 2: kind of alluded to the fact we're talking around it.
- 37:06Speaker 2: Do not do not, Terry Pagula bring in a defensive coordinator?
- 37:11Speaker 3: Do do not do that?
- 37:12Speaker 2: Okay to this to this fan base, and I heard
- 37:14Speaker 2: you say something about Brian Flores. It would all depend,
- 37:17Speaker 2: I think on who the OC was. You would have
- 37:18Speaker 2: to have a rock.
- 37:19Speaker 4: Well that was that was strictly with that was strictly
- 37:22Speaker 4: with a McDaniel or Dabele as OC.
- 37:24Speaker 2: Yes, right, yeah, and I and I and I know
- 37:26Speaker 2: that I think that Dabel's got some job opportunity as well.
- 37:29Speaker 2: We know that Mike McDaniel already signed up to be
- 37:31Speaker 2: the Chargers OC if he doesn't get a head coaching job.
- 37:34Speaker 2: So I think it's gonna be tough for one of
- 37:35Speaker 2: the DC's to come in and bring one of those
- 37:37Speaker 2: rock star ocs with him having said that, so we're
- 37:41Speaker 2: both on the offensive side of the football preferably.
- 37:45Speaker 3: I mean, you come on, man, I'm easy to read.
- 37:47Speaker 2: You already know when was Josh Allen at his most lethal,
- 37:51Speaker 2: he was that as both lethal twenty thirteen seconds with
- 37:55Speaker 2: Brian Dabel. I think that Brian Dabele, if they get
- 37:57Speaker 2: you know, Bean supplies the girl the right way and
- 38:01Speaker 2: gives him what he needs. I think he can recreate
- 38:03Speaker 2: that offense. You know obviously that the league has changed
- 38:06Speaker 2: a little bit, but we've got a great offensive line.
- 38:08Speaker 2: We're still gonna be able to run the ball. We
- 38:10Speaker 2: just don't have to be as run heavy as Joe
- 38:12Speaker 2: Brady was. We don't have to rely on it to
- 38:14Speaker 2: be our bread and butter the way that Joe Brady did.
- 38:16Speaker 2: I think that Brian David brings that fire. I think
- 38:18Speaker 2: that familiarity that you just talked about with Josh somebody
- 38:21Speaker 2: that's not afraid to hold him accountable. One of the
- 38:24Speaker 2: things I'm worried about with the Davis web or maybe
- 38:26Speaker 2: this Yudinsky guy who because he's so young, is that,
- 38:29Speaker 2: you know, are you going to be afraid to get
- 38:31Speaker 2: in Josh's face. That doesn't necessarily mean yelling on the
- 38:34Speaker 2: sideline that can be in film room. I'm holding him
- 38:37Speaker 2: accountable on that kind of thing, the stuff that behind
- 38:39Speaker 2: the scenes that we don't see. I'm I'm I want
- 38:41Speaker 2: somebody that's going to keep Josh's foot on the fire
- 38:44Speaker 2: because I think that there's I think that he can.
- 38:47Speaker 3: He can. He is capable of cleaning up.
- 38:49Speaker 2: These are sakes, some of them because you saw him
- 38:51Speaker 2: win the MVP last year based on the fact that
- 38:54Speaker 2: he cleaned up the turnovers and stuff like that. So
- 38:56Speaker 2: sometimes I feel like the roster forces him to try
- 39:00Speaker 2: I could do too much where he feels like he
- 39:01Speaker 2: has to carry everything, and that's where some of the
- 39:03Speaker 2: mistakes come. I think if you can provide him with
- 39:06Speaker 2: some of the more weapons and different things like that.
- 39:07Speaker 3: And it's funny that we.
- 39:08Speaker 2: Said earlier in the episode, just being me, but know
- 39:10Speaker 2: that we need receivers because that press conference he would
- 39:13Speaker 2: I mean, it was like pulling teeth just to get
- 39:15Speaker 2: him to fucking admit that the receivers were garbage. Then
- 39:17Speaker 2: at the very end he's like, maybe I did mess
- 39:18Speaker 2: up with the receiver room, Like yeah, man, you are
- 39:20Speaker 2: so arrogant.
- 39:21Speaker 3: Sometimes that. I guess he gets.
- 39:24Speaker 2: Me a little bit nervous because he does not like
- 39:26Speaker 2: to be admit that he was wrong. If you surround
- 39:29Speaker 2: Josh with talent, I think the table would be a
- 39:31Speaker 2: great choice, I really do.
- 39:33Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
- 39:34Speaker 4: And to your point about not being able to get
- 39:37Speaker 4: in Josh's face some of these young whipper snappers as
- 39:40Speaker 4: you called it earlier in.
- 39:40Speaker 1: The show, Yeah, yeah, yeah, it might be reversal of that.
- 39:43Speaker 4: They might be overcompensating, right, And that's not good either,
- 39:46Speaker 4: of Like, all right, I'm young, I'm disrespected, so now
- 39:49Speaker 4: I'm gonna get like I'm gonna go way over the
- 39:51Speaker 4: top and being Josh's face like way too much, you know,
- 39:54Speaker 4: like just to like show that I'm not a bitch, right,
- 39:57Speaker 4: you know, to show that I'm ready to be here
- 39:59Speaker 4: and I'm not gonna back down. So like there's a
- 40:01Speaker 4: reverse end of that too, Rob Where are they afraid
- 40:03Speaker 4: to do it or they think they have to do
- 40:05Speaker 4: an extra now to prove themselves right?
- 40:08Speaker 1: And that's not good either.
- 40:09Speaker 4: I don't want somebody double thinking on how they should
- 40:11Speaker 4: think just to like get themselves acknowledged. I want somebody
- 40:15Speaker 4: going in there and coaching a football team, right, So
- 40:17Speaker 4: I definitely.
- 40:19Speaker 1: I see what you're saying.
- 40:20Speaker 4: But I also see the reverse effect of it of
- 40:21Speaker 4: them over compensating because everyone's saying they are young, they
- 40:25Speaker 4: won't get in Josh's face, and then every game they're
- 40:27Speaker 4: just cussing Josh out and it's like, all right, dude,
- 40:29Speaker 4: like chill out, right.
- 40:31Speaker 3: So it's.
- 40:34Speaker 1: It definitely is a It's a catch twenty two there.
- 40:36Speaker 4: I mean, Dable has the like, really, if you build
- 40:38Speaker 4: the perfect candidate like it, you know, he fits a
- 40:41Speaker 4: lot of.
- 40:41Speaker 1: Those systems, right.
- 40:43Speaker 4: He's from Buffalo, he has the community we when he was.
- 40:49Speaker 1: He does have the head coaching experience. He was the
- 40:52Speaker 1: coach of the year.
- 40:53Speaker 4: You know, he was like, there is like all the
- 40:56Speaker 4: questions you have from these younger guys. Brian Dabele answered
- 40:59Speaker 4: the those questions with his resume.
- 41:02Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so, you know, it's funny because yeah,
- 41:05Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, I'm predictable. I mean I always
- 41:09Speaker 2: talk about, you know, thirteen seconds and how lethal that
- 41:12Speaker 2: office was. Everybody on Twitter knows that I'm ready to
- 41:14Speaker 2: get in any argument about when was I always remember
- 41:17Speaker 2: when was Josh ed is most lethal? When was he
- 41:19Speaker 2: the best? When was he at the height of his
- 41:21Speaker 2: pimpin and to me it was thirteen seconds. It was
- 41:23Speaker 2: that year when he had all of those different plethoro
- 41:26Speaker 2: of receivers. No, they weren't all all world beaters, but
- 41:29Speaker 2: you had an all pro in stuff and then you
- 41:31Speaker 2: had just great complimentary for pieces all throughout the room.
- 41:34Speaker 2: This wide receiver room doesn't even resemble anything close to that.
- 41:37Speaker 2: And I'm just wondering if the if THET the GM
- 41:40Speaker 2: really understands that. So we'll see a couple other guys
- 41:43Speaker 2: on there, like you had already talked about.
- 41:45Speaker 3: None of them really scared me.
- 41:46Speaker 2: The only thing I'm scared of is that if we
- 41:48Speaker 2: wait for Clint Kubiak, if they really think that this
- 41:50Speaker 2: guy is ready to go, he's he's lined up, he's
- 41:53Speaker 2: you know, the next big thing in respects to what
- 41:55Speaker 2: this offense needs. You know, you could either get left
- 41:59Speaker 2: at the altar or or you know what I mean,
- 42:00Speaker 2: or by the time he comes around, you know what
- 42:03Speaker 2: I mean, you know you're gonna be slim pickings for
- 42:05Speaker 2: some of his stats, you know what I mean? Like yeah,
- 42:08Speaker 2: and I also and I argue.
- 42:11Speaker 4: That point as well of like yes, like why we're
- 42:14Speaker 4: waiting like, we don't need the perfect guy necessarily because
- 42:17Speaker 4: we do have one seven right, This dude's gonna win
- 42:19Speaker 4: you eight nine games really no matter what, So you
- 42:22Speaker 4: need you know, we don't need the perfect guy. Is
- 42:25Speaker 4: Clint Kubiak have the resume as the perfect guy?
- 42:28Speaker 1: Not in my eyes?
- 42:28Speaker 4: Right, So why are we waiting for this guy? It's
- 42:30Speaker 4: any oc And like we we should have done this
- 42:33Speaker 4: last year. We could have got Ben Johnson or William Cohen.
- 42:35Speaker 4: They weren't ship until they were you know, So like
- 42:38Speaker 4: it doesn't like we don't know who's gonna break out
- 42:40Speaker 4: and be the next Sean McVay and the next you know,
- 42:42Speaker 4: we don't know this until we go out and roll it.
- 42:45Speaker 1: But I like the chances of one of these young
- 42:47Speaker 1: whipper snappers the word of the show tonight of.
- 42:51Speaker 4: Coming in and being with Josh Allen and being that's
- 42:54Speaker 4: the best way to kind of ease into a new
- 42:56Speaker 4: role is be with the best player in the world.
- 42:58Speaker 4: So uh, I agree, I don't think we should wagh
- 43:00Speaker 4: if we know, if we kind of have a good
- 43:02Speaker 4: feeling where we're at this weekend, pull the trigger, get
- 43:04Speaker 4: it done. The team needs it, like we need the
- 43:07Speaker 4: fan base needs it, that they need a new face
- 43:09Speaker 4: and a positive press conference to kind of move forward
- 43:12Speaker 4: and move on.
- 43:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, it'll be It's going to be very,
- 43:17Speaker 2: very interesting because you know, it's funny I get some
- 43:20Speaker 2: of this tinge on Twitter and stuff like that, DT,
- 43:24Speaker 2: and when I'm seeing social media and all after the
- 43:26Speaker 2: press conference, for sure and all we're getting ready to
- 43:28Speaker 2: go back, like you said early in the show, back
- 43:29Speaker 2: to the drought, and we're just functioning and stuff like that.
- 43:31Speaker 2: I'm like, guys, it doesn't have to be bad, Like
- 43:33Speaker 2: this does not have to be like everybody. I feel
- 43:36Speaker 2: like there's a portion of Bill's Mafia DT that operates
- 43:39Speaker 2: in fear, and you already know that that's not my style.
- 43:42Speaker 3: I'm not operating in fear.
- 43:43Speaker 2: Just because you make a change does not mean that
- 43:45Speaker 2: the change has to go bad. It does not mean
- 43:47Speaker 2: that you are doomed for failure because you make a change.
- 43:50Speaker 2: So I think that a lot of Bill's Mafia, and
- 43:52Speaker 2: I think that that's part of this whole petition garbage,
- 43:55Speaker 2: is that they just kind of got comfortable in it
- 43:57Speaker 2: in their own little cocoon, like, Okay, well we go
- 43:59Speaker 2: to the playoffs, and you know, we're not embarrassed, and
- 44:01Speaker 2: our you know, our coach doesn't eat dog biscuits like
- 44:03Speaker 2: Rex Ryan, and we're not in the drought anymore. Let's
- 44:06Speaker 2: just kind of let it just be. And to me,
- 44:08Speaker 2: I think that it's okay to raise those expectations. So
- 44:11Speaker 2: I don't think that this is doom and gloom. I
- 44:13Speaker 2: think that we've got one seven, We've got a great
- 44:15Speaker 2: opportunity to find a way to get a new coach
- 44:18Speaker 2: and see what he's got and what he can bring
- 44:19Speaker 2: to the table. I don't think that there's any type
- 44:21Speaker 2: of doom and gloom that needs to be associated with
- 44:24Speaker 2: this coach shirts, or with the future of the Buffalo Bills,
- 44:26Speaker 2: any of that type of stuff. I'm interested. I love
- 44:29Speaker 2: the comments tonight. I'm seeing you guys all in there.
- 44:31Speaker 2: Appreciate everybody given the love and the feedback, because you know,
- 44:35Speaker 2: this is this we are entering the you know, the
- 44:39Speaker 2: second half of Josh Allen's career.
- 44:40Speaker 3: We are entering that second phase.
- 44:42Speaker 2: And I've warned you know, tons of people that I've
- 44:45Speaker 2: interacted with on Twitter and stuff like that, is that
- 44:47Speaker 2: don't expect Josh Allen Bill's mafia to play you know, forever.
- 44:52Speaker 2: He is not going to be like a Tom Brady
- 44:54Speaker 2: type that's playing. I mean, Haley, missus, missus Allan. She
- 44:58Speaker 2: is not going to a allow him to just play forever.
- 45:01Speaker 2: That's just not I just don't think that that's gonna happen. So,
- 45:04Speaker 2: you know what I mean, we might get another good
- 45:06Speaker 2: five you know, four or five, maybe six years of
- 45:09Speaker 2: Josh Allen.
- 45:09Speaker 3: He's gonna be age thirty coming up.
- 45:11Speaker 2: I just I warn and I caution everybody that just
- 45:14Speaker 2: don't don't take this for granted and embrace this. This
- 45:17Speaker 2: is the second half of his career, and I think
- 45:19Speaker 2: that there could be good things ahead. I definitely think
- 45:21Speaker 2: that he's still capable of taking this to the Promised Land.
- 45:24Speaker 3: And and I I'm just I'm just not fearful.
- 45:27Speaker 2: I really am not. I'm not fearful of of this
- 45:30Speaker 2: next stage DT. I was just telling Nicol City crew,
- 45:33Speaker 2: I'm in Bill's Mafia. I'm not fearful of this next stage.
- 45:35Speaker 2: I really am not. You got me, You got me,
- 45:44Speaker 2: baby boy. DT having some technical difficulties, but that that's
- 45:48Speaker 2: just that's that's where I stand on it Bill's Mafia.
- 45:51Speaker 2: As we try to get DT back, that's That's where
- 45:53Speaker 2: I stand on it. I don't think that we need
- 45:55Speaker 2: to be doom and gloom. I don't think that we
- 45:58Speaker 2: need to assume then everything is gonna not work out.
- 46:01Speaker 3: And that's all I was saying.
- 46:02Speaker 2: DT was just reminding everybody that Josh is not gonna
- 46:04Speaker 2: play forever. We're in the second half of his career.
- 46:07Speaker 2: And I don't think that this situation where we need to.
- 46:10Speaker 2: I don't think we need to think that this is
- 46:11Speaker 2: going to just go bad just because we don't know.
- 46:13Speaker 2: Just because it's unknown doesn't mean it's going to go bad.
- 46:16Speaker 4: I agree, And you know, we have had almost ten
- 46:19Speaker 4: years of pretty strong success. We cannot you know, lose
- 46:26Speaker 4: all that and throw it away because we had a
- 46:28Speaker 4: bad seventy two hours, right, Like, yeah, losing sucks. Thirty
- 46:32Speaker 4: one NFL teams do it every year, and it seems
- 46:36Speaker 4: to be us that it's it's gut wrenching every time.
- 46:38Speaker 4: But then we go into you know, the mishaps or
- 46:42Speaker 4: the presser and fire mcderm everything. But the future is
- 46:45Speaker 4: still bright with one seven at the helm, right, and
- 46:47Speaker 4: we need to know that. As Bill's mafia, I mean,
- 46:50Speaker 4: Brandon being definitely knows he's got to make a move
- 46:52Speaker 4: like it can't be any louder. As much as he
- 46:55Speaker 4: wants to be arrogant and defend it and defend it,
- 46:56Speaker 4: it's gotta be happening this time. So I I agree
- 47:01Speaker 4: we need to chill out a little bit because we
- 47:04Speaker 4: are nine months away from kicking off, you know, in
- 47:09Speaker 4: the new stadium, and there's a lot in between that.
- 47:13Speaker 4: You know, we can't be this fired up that long, right,
- 47:16Speaker 4: so we need to chill out. Understand, we can be upset,
- 47:19Speaker 4: but no one sevens at the helm and we still
- 47:21Speaker 4: have a chance and we're gonna get better. And maybe
- 47:23Speaker 4: this coach is the John Gruden that gets us over
- 47:25Speaker 4: the hump, you know, oh one buck style.
- 47:28Speaker 3: Yeah, man, maybe so man.
- 47:30Speaker 2: You know, as we begin to transition and wrap up tonight,
- 47:33Speaker 2: I think that I just I just look at the
- 47:37Speaker 2: horizon as it's open, and I think that it's just
- 47:39Speaker 2: open and there's there's vast possibilities.
- 47:43Speaker 3: I will be, I will go.
- 47:44Speaker 2: I've told everybody I will lose my ship if they
- 47:46Speaker 2: bring in a defensive cord.
- 47:47Speaker 3: I'm not going to like it.
- 47:48Speaker 2: I know lou and umo Is is respected and stuff
- 47:51Speaker 2: like that, but he better be bringing a star studded
- 47:53Speaker 2: offensive staff with him if they pick him. But if
- 47:55Speaker 2: it's an offensive coach, it's it's almost dt Any. Like
- 47:59Speaker 2: any offensive coach, I'm gonna be happy. Just I agree,
- 48:02Speaker 2: like that Angelum swinging, you know, like I agree, we've
- 48:05Speaker 2: got the defensive guy. He's all buttoned up. They'll bring in.
- 48:07Speaker 2: It doesn't even matter if they bring in Dable. He's
- 48:09Speaker 2: totally opposite of McDermott. And and all these offensive guys
- 48:12Speaker 2: are obviously going to be opposite the ball of mc dermott.
- 48:15Speaker 2: So I I'm I'm kind of just I'm I'm down
- 48:17Speaker 2: for whatever. Man, I'm down for whatever.
- 48:19Speaker 4: I'm ready if you, if you josh Ana, like you said,
- 48:22Speaker 4: if three to five, whatever, However many more years he's got,
- 48:25Speaker 4: and we keep Sean McDermott, We keep Sean McDermott, and
- 48:28Speaker 4: this goes on, you know, four more years.
- 48:34Speaker 1: Damn, Josh is done. We kept Sean McDermott. We never
- 48:37Speaker 1: did it.
- 48:37Speaker 4: So this is Forgoula saying, well, I gotta try something different.
- 48:41Speaker 4: You know, we only have Josh for this long. I
- 48:43Speaker 4: gotta try something different. So to try something different, we
- 48:46Speaker 4: need to commit to something different. You know, we can't
- 48:48Speaker 4: go back to the same old that, you know, not
- 48:50Speaker 4: the same we'd hire Mike Tomlin, but that type of guy,
- 48:53Speaker 4: you know, defensive coordinated, the same dude.
- 48:54Speaker 1: We have to go opposite of everything.
- 48:56Speaker 4: And I'm not saying get away from you know, the
- 48:58Speaker 4: culture and all that stuff that still has to be
- 49:00Speaker 4: a staple. But maybe take a chance on a guy
- 49:02Speaker 4: with some character issue, you know, maybe take a chance
- 49:05Speaker 4: on So I'm gonna get this like that guy. Maybe
- 49:08Speaker 4: take a chance on a guy with some character issue,
- 49:10Speaker 4: you know. Maybe take a chance on something a little different.
- 49:13Speaker 4: So that's that's where I stand.
- 49:16Speaker 1: You know it. It really doesn't matter bringing somebody offensive.
- 49:19Speaker 1: We did.
- 49:20Speaker 4: We did all this to change because if we kept
- 49:23Speaker 4: it the same.
- 49:28Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're breaking up a little bit.
- 49:30Speaker 2: Like I I just feel like, oh man, I just
- 49:34Speaker 2: I feel like we're in a situation where if we
- 49:37Speaker 2: are if you operate in fear, it will cripple you.
- 49:40Speaker 3: I got called.
- 49:41Speaker 2: Dumb like five times the other night by some dude
- 49:44Speaker 2: on Twitter, some old guy on Twitter, and I think
- 49:46Speaker 2: he's a former football player or something like that, and
- 49:48Speaker 2: he's calling me dumb because you know, I'm like, I'm
- 49:50Speaker 2: ready for you know a new coach and this and that,
- 49:52Speaker 2: and he's it's like what what what coach you're gonna
- 49:53Speaker 2: get and like he's like trying to argue with him.
- 49:55Speaker 3: He's like, You're like, tell me what coach you're gonna get.
- 49:57Speaker 2: And I'm like, homeboy, I don't have the name for
- 49:59Speaker 2: you that like the name doesn't that doesn't even matter
- 50:02Speaker 2: to me. Like I give you, he's gonna come back
- 50:04Speaker 2: to me. I'll say that he's not he's not right,
- 50:06Speaker 2: or that's the wrong way. Like, listen, your point is
- 50:09Speaker 2: that McDermot should have gone I got it.
- 50:10Speaker 3: I heard you. But like, I'll just stick to that.
- 50:13Speaker 2: Any Bills Mafia member that signed that petition, any Bills
- 50:16Speaker 2: Mafia member like that one dude on Twitter that I
- 50:18Speaker 2: was arguing with the other night. Listen, if you think
- 50:20Speaker 2: that Sean McDermott needed to stay, you are entitled to
- 50:24Speaker 2: your own opinion. I will respectfully tell you, and we
- 50:27Speaker 2: are Bill's Mafia brother and sisters, brothers and sisters, I'm
- 50:30Speaker 2: gonna tell you that you're misguided. And that's from the
- 50:33Speaker 2: bottom of my Bill's heart. I love you like a brother,
- 50:35Speaker 2: I love you like a Bill's sister. You are misguided
- 50:38Speaker 2: if you think that he just deserved to be Josh
- 50:41Speaker 2: Allen's quarterback for the duration or of his career on
- 50:44Speaker 2: until he wanted to retire. That is not how professional
- 50:47Speaker 2: sports work. The one the two things I liked about
- 50:50Speaker 2: that press conference as we wrap up tonight, and the
- 50:52Speaker 2: one thing that I heard at the very end from Pagoula,
- 50:54Speaker 2: and that was all that saved it for me because
- 50:56Speaker 2: it was a shit show, was that he said, what
- 50:59Speaker 2: is success and he realizes, at least now finally he
- 51:02Speaker 2: gets it if he didn't get it before because he
- 51:04Speaker 2: definitely wasn't acting on it was that you just can't
- 51:06Speaker 2: keep doing the same thing. And then saying successful is
- 51:09Speaker 2: not getting the goal. If the goal is to get
- 51:11Speaker 2: the goal and you don't get the goal, well then
- 51:13Speaker 2: like DT said earlier, that it's like it's do or die,
- 51:15Speaker 2: like did you do it or did you not do it?
- 51:17Speaker 3: He didn't do it. He was great. He definitely changed
- 51:20Speaker 3: the culture.
- 51:20Speaker 2: He definitely made us respectable and and brought us back
- 51:23Speaker 2: to where we needed to be in respect to the
- 51:25Speaker 2: eyes of our peers in the league.
- 51:27Speaker 3: But it wasn't just that we We literally.
- 51:29Speaker 2: Had an episode DT that was the job for life,
- 51:32Speaker 2: like like we've been over this shit, DT, we really have.
- 51:35Speaker 2: So I encourage Bills Mafi to just embrace this next step.
- 51:38Speaker 2: Please get less words.
- 51:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
- 51:41Speaker 4: And you know the fact of when he first started
- 51:44Speaker 4: the conference with the playoff seeding numbers, right, I thought
- 51:47Speaker 4: I was so confused.
- 51:49Speaker 2: Man, Well, I knew that he was going with seeds.
- 51:52Speaker 2: I thought he was going to say we never got
- 51:53Speaker 2: the one seed, and hey.
- 51:58Speaker 1: We got this, this and this, we never got the one.
- 52:00Speaker 4: We did this, this and this, we never made it
- 52:02Speaker 4: to the Super's.
- 52:08Speaker 1: Saying like the team could have won the super Bowl.
- 52:10Speaker 4: So the roster was good enough, the coach just didn't
- 52:12Speaker 4: get us there and that, but yes, yes, success, he
- 52:18Speaker 4: knows the super Bowl needs to happen. And continuing down
- 52:22Speaker 4: the same road he did probably a couple of years
- 52:24Speaker 4: more than he should have. And you know, I'm I'll
- 52:27Speaker 4: give you some credit, Rob, and you know everyone they
- 52:29Speaker 4: gave us. Heye, a couple of years ago when the
- 52:31Speaker 4: whole Stefan Diggs stuff came out, he was saying the
- 52:34Speaker 4: same ship like this was what it was, This was
- 52:37Speaker 4: what it was about. Keep doing this, We can't keep
- 52:42Speaker 4: running it back And then he was, you know, and
- 52:44Speaker 4: that shifted him out of town. Now the whole organization
- 52:48Speaker 4: is finally caught up and saying this. I told you
- 52:50Speaker 4: this during the week, Rob. I think they're just on
- 52:52Speaker 4: a two year delay. I think they're just on a
- 52:54Speaker 4: two year delay. I think, you know, people Stephan Diggs
- 52:58Speaker 4: and people were after thirteen seconds for like mcdermany needs
- 53:01Speaker 4: to be gone, and then a couple of years later
- 53:02Speaker 4: he does it. Kevin Adams should have been done the
- 53:05Speaker 4: day he walked in.
- 53:06Speaker 1: The Sabers team.
- 53:07Speaker 4: Two years later, three years later he does it like so,
- 53:10Speaker 4: I think he's just delayed on the focus and the
- 53:14Speaker 4: mindset of you know, the fan base and where things
- 53:17Speaker 4: need to go.
- 53:18Speaker 1: I think you just on a two year delay.
- 53:20Speaker 3: DT.
- 53:20Speaker 2: You're a jerk man, because we're getting ready to sign
- 53:22Speaker 2: off and you just did that. I you know how
- 53:24Speaker 2: hard I worked to not bring his name up tonight
- 53:27Speaker 2: because everybody wants to always over You always want to
- 53:29Speaker 2: talk about thirteen seconds.
- 53:31Speaker 3: You need to get over it. You always want to
- 53:32Speaker 3: talk about Diggs.
- 53:33Speaker 2: Like, no, I'm not always trying to talk about Diggs,
- 53:35Speaker 2: but god, Lee, you just took the words out of
- 53:37Speaker 2: my mouth to I refuse to even say tonight and
- 53:40Speaker 2: that's why, that's why this is my Bill's brother from
- 53:43Speaker 2: another mother.
- 53:43Speaker 3: He he just feels me. We always just vibe it.
- 53:47Speaker 2: I swear I thought this thing immediately when it happened,
- 53:50Speaker 2: and all tonight I was like, I'm not gonna bring
- 53:52Speaker 2: up stuff. I'm not gonna bring up fourteen. I'm not
- 53:53Speaker 2: gonna bring up fourteen. They got mad at him because
- 53:57Speaker 2: he wanted better, not because of pick tweets, not because
- 54:01Speaker 2: of this, and that he came back to Mini Camp.
- 54:04Speaker 3: We did an episode the mis Education of Step five Diggs.
- 54:07Speaker 2: He came back to Minicamp and wanted to sit down
- 54:10Speaker 2: and talk to McDermott. Wanted to sit down and talk
- 54:13Speaker 2: to seventeen or the OC and see like, what are
- 54:16Speaker 2: we getting ready to change? Because what did he say?
- 54:19Speaker 2: What he said, I feel like we are rolling the
- 54:21Speaker 2: ball a stone up the hill and then it just
- 54:23Speaker 2: keeps falling back down. He got he got sick of it,
- 54:26Speaker 2: and we were all sick of it. And they ran
- 54:28Speaker 2: him out of town and called them adeva and the
- 54:30Speaker 2: malcontent and all this other stuff, and that he wanted
- 54:32Speaker 2: to leave. Now the owner ok being okay anymore, And
- 54:36Speaker 2: now the owner finally gets it. So thank you for
- 54:39Speaker 2: saying that, because I purposely didn't bring up fourteen. But
- 54:42Speaker 2: he's been he's been saying this ship. I've been saying
- 54:44Speaker 2: this shit since thirteen.
- 54:44Speaker 4: So there's gonna be most likely in a super Bowl
- 54:47Speaker 4: this year, just so everyone knows.
- 54:48Speaker 3: So yeah, God, oh God, oh god. I don't even
- 54:52Speaker 3: want to talk about this game.
- 54:54Speaker 2: What were your picks for the Super Bowl? We'll close
- 54:56Speaker 2: up on that with Nickel City Crew before we close.
- 54:58Speaker 2: We will be back. We are now gonna leave. This
- 55:00Speaker 2: was supposed to be the season five finale then Sean
- 55:03Speaker 2: mcgermy got fired, So uh DT and I will be back.
- 55:06Speaker 3: We're gonna hit you off. We've got a great guest
- 55:07Speaker 3: coming up next week.
- 55:08Speaker 2: Hopefully by next week, We've got our coach picked out
- 55:11Speaker 2: and I've got a great guest that's lined up that
- 55:13Speaker 2: knows his ship on one of my Twitter buddies and
- 55:16Speaker 2: h he'll help us break down whoever we decide to
- 55:18Speaker 2: hire and what that particular uh Man brings to the
- 55:21Speaker 2: table for the Buffalo Bills. DT, are you even gonna
- 55:25Speaker 2: watch Sunday? I mean, I feel like, as a football fan,
- 55:28Speaker 2: I probably am going to hate watch it. But I
- 55:31Speaker 2: don't know if I'm gonna just sit there and watch
- 55:32Speaker 2: every play on Sunday for the AFC, I don't I
- 55:35Speaker 2: don't know yought about it.
- 55:37Speaker 1: The other weekend goes it's you know, it's it's It
- 55:39Speaker 1: doesn't help.
- 55:40Speaker 3: It's very hard.
- 55:41Speaker 4: Because it's two degrees out, so I might might be
- 55:44Speaker 4: forced to watch that Ben Affleck Matt Gamon movie on
- 55:48Speaker 4: the Rick. So I don't know what I watched, but
- 55:52Speaker 4: I think you know the gambling side, meme wants to
- 55:55Speaker 4: go Broncos. When the whole world says it's easy money Patriots,
- 55:59Speaker 4: that usually means they're going to be wrong, and the
- 56:01Speaker 4: Broncos might give him a weird run for their money.
- 56:03Speaker 4: On the other side of things, let's go with the
- 56:05Speaker 4: Rams strictly, because I look at these four teams left,
- 56:08Speaker 4: Who's getting to Lombardi before Josh Allen. It's Sam Darnold,
- 56:11Speaker 4: hell no, it's Drake May hell no, or it's a
- 56:15Speaker 4: backup hell no. So Matt Stafford's the only Matt Stafford's
- 56:18Speaker 4: the only worthy person to get a Lombardi because he
- 56:21Speaker 4: already has one and he is good and you know
- 56:22Speaker 4: and and all that.
- 56:25Speaker 1: So I'm going Rams and fuck the Patriots. Broncos.
- 56:29Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, I don't I if I was placing money
- 56:33Speaker 2: on it. I don't know if I would be able
- 56:34Speaker 2: to place money on the Broncos because of Stidham. I
- 56:37Speaker 2: think that that may be just a hill a little
- 56:39Speaker 2: bit too steep to climb. But yeah, whoever, I mean,
- 56:41Speaker 2: the NFC is a better conference. If the Bills made
- 56:43Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, I would be nervous as hell. What
- 56:45Speaker 2: did I always say, Let's just get to the show
- 56:47Speaker 2: and then I let the chips fall from there. So
- 56:48Speaker 2: I don't know what would happen if the Bills would
- 56:51Speaker 2: have gotten and fulfilled their destiny and got into the
- 56:53Speaker 2: Super Bowl this year. But I know that the NFC
- 56:56Speaker 2: is much stronger than the AFC, So I expect either
- 56:59Speaker 2: one the Rams or the Seahawks to win the Super
- 57:01Speaker 2: Bowl this year, regardless of if they played the Patriots
- 57:03Speaker 2: or now obviously if they play the Patriots.
- 57:05Speaker 3: It just it just adds another, just another layer.
- 57:09Speaker 2: That we've got a second year quarterback, first year head coach,
- 57:12Speaker 2: not ever, but you know, his first year on the
- 57:14Speaker 2: job here in New England, and they've already surpassed something
- 57:17Speaker 2: that we couldn't even do and that that ships things.
- 57:19Speaker 3: So if that doesn't make you mad, Bill's.
- 57:21Speaker 2: Mobins for the portion that wanted mc dermott, then like,
- 57:23Speaker 2: hopefully that'll stick again. If that happens, if you're seeing
- 57:25Speaker 2: the Patriots on your TV for Super Bowl Sunday, hopefully like, okay,
- 57:29Speaker 2: it maybe it was time, you know what I mean?
- 57:30Speaker 3: Because nothing, they weren't they they weren't.
- 57:33Speaker 1: No, they weren't.
- 57:36Speaker 2: No, hell no, hell no. They weren't supposed to come
- 57:38Speaker 2: this fast. And they took everything from us.
- 57:39Speaker 3: They took the division from us, and and unfortunately they're
- 57:43Speaker 3: they're in a position that we should be in this weekend.
- 57:45Speaker 3: But it is what it is. DT, I really appreciate
- 57:48Speaker 3: your man.

- 58:32Speaker 2: show and how everything ended on Saturday, I'm honored, you know.

- 59:01Speaker 4: You know, another heartbreaking year, but knowing that I got
- 59:05Speaker 4: people like you, you know that that it's all good.
- 59:07Speaker 4: It's always good. And Charlotte, this year was awesome. And yeah,
- 59:10Speaker 4: so another year down. We're getting better. We're you know,
- 59:14Speaker 4: our listeners were fine. Two of them things. We're gonna
- 59:16Speaker 4: we're gonna come back with next season with even better stuff.

- 59:35Speaker 2: Pick you, pick your head up, pick you chin up.
- 59:37Speaker 2: We still got seventeen, like you, still have the baddest
- 59:39Speaker 2: man on the planet. Everybody has a bad day. Saturday
- 59:42Speaker 2: was a bad day. He picked up a day to
- 59:44Speaker 2: have one. But you know, I think he's gonna learn
- 59:46Speaker 2: from it, he's gonna grow from it. And and I wouldn't.
- 59:49Speaker 2: I wouldn't trade him for anybody, not Pat, not any
- 59:52Speaker 2: of those not fifteen, not none of those quarterbacks. Love
- 59:54Speaker 2: mars Bum asked, we want to come to practice. I mean, yeah,
- 59:57Speaker 2: I wouldn't I wouldn't want seventeen. I wouldn't want anybody
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: over him. So I understand that fifteen has had some
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: more team successful. There's a lot of other factors that
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: come into that why he's had more accolades. I'll take
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: Josh Allen any day of the week, and hopefully we
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: can find a way to sur around him out there.
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: Nicol City Crew Bills, Mafia Listen, spread love not hate.
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: These were my bills. Thoughts set out loud. Hit him
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: with a go Bills DT. It's time for us to
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: go get a old ball coach. It's time for us
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: to go get.

- 1:00:33Speaker 3: love it. I love it.
