00:00You bring up the game Sunday.
00:02I was looking ahead, which you should never do,
00:05but looking ahead on that schedule with the New England Patriots
00:09now at two losses.
00:11You still have them at 11 wins.
00:14Yeah, I'd say, yeah, I got them at 11.
00:15I had them at 10-plus, but I'll jump on the train and go 11.
00:19I think they can easily do that.
00:21So Jets this week should win that game.
00:25Should win that game.
00:26Chicago will be tough.
00:27Yeah, Thursday night, out there.
00:30Curtis is going to be there.
00:31That might be the Curtis drink.
00:32I'm going to start the wave.
00:33But that's a game that you can win, right?
00:36Yes, game you can win.
00:37Can we do this easily, quickly?
00:39We'll do four wins.
00:40They'll beat the Jets and the Dolphins each twice.
00:42So that's seven.
00:43Okay.
00:44Now we've got the Bears.
00:45How do you feel about the Packers?
00:46I think that's a win.
00:48I don't know.
00:49Is Micah Parsons back for that, though, Wiggs?
00:52He might be.
00:53I think that makes their defense a lot better.
00:55I think it'll be a game.
00:56I think it's very much like the Bears game where it'll be competitive if Parsons is on
01:00the field.
01:00If Parsons doesn't play, I would definitely take the Pats.
01:02Okay.
01:03How do you feel about Detroit in Germany?
01:06I'd take the Pats.
01:07According to the numbers, Detroit has the best offense in football, right?
01:11Yeah.
01:11That could be a toss-up because it's in Germany.
01:15Detroit's a good football team.
01:17Hefeweizen.
01:18Yeah.
01:18I would say that you have a better chance of beating Green Bay at home than you do Detroit
01:24in Germany, only because the Green Bay game is at home.
01:27Same way.
01:28I would say split those two.
01:30You win one, you lose one.
01:31Green Bay.
01:32So there's a loss in there somewhere.
01:35Right.
01:36At Chargers.
01:37I think they win.
01:38They suck.
01:39Yeah.
01:39The Chargers.
01:39They're so bad.
01:41Vikings is probably...
01:42I don't know.
01:43The Vikings defense is good.
01:45How is Brian Flores not a head coach?
01:47Yeah.
01:47It's unbelievable.
01:49Yeah.
01:49Blackballed.
01:49Yeah, probably because he spoke up and, you know, sued the league.
01:53But Minnesota's defense is tough.
01:55Their offense stinks.
01:57So I think you might be able to edge them because their offense isn't very good.
02:03And that's also at New England at home.
02:05Okay.
02:05At Kansas City.
02:06Loss.
02:07Yeah, I'd go Kansas City.
02:09That's a loss.
02:09That's fine.
02:11Okay.
02:12Curtis brought up Jets.
02:14Broncos.
02:14Broncos at home.
02:15I think you win that.
02:16I don't think the Broncos have been good.
02:17Yeah, I would agree with that.
02:18That offense has been inept at times.
02:20I would say that.
02:21I mean, they barely beat the Chargers this past week.
02:23Yeah, I would say at home for Denver, that's a game that you...
02:27I would say that would be a win.
02:28Okay.
02:29So you have...
02:30So that's four, maybe five losses.
02:34Because there were three in there.
02:35Well, you guys didn't say what...
02:37Detroit, Germany.
02:38Right.
02:38So you were saying Chicago, Detroit...
02:41Win, win.
02:42So Chicago's a win for you.
02:44Yeah, it looks like they're going to finish...
02:45Like, if we can predict it well, and I haven't predicted things well this year, but if you
02:50guys predict it well, you're looking at 10 or 11 wins.
02:52Yeah.
02:53Yeah.
02:53Which is exactly where you want to be.
02:55That's a playoff spot.
02:56And possible division contention.
02:57This is Jamie from New Hampshire.
02:59Hello, Jamie.
03:01Hey, good morning, everybody.
03:02How are we?
03:02What's up?
03:03Hey, so I picked up on something with your interview with Mike Rabel.
03:09And I can't say for sure, but I'm telling you, I heard something in his voice.
03:16And so I think he knows A.J. Brown is starting this week.
03:21I know Curtis thinks, you know, this would be a good time to just let him rest up, but
03:26I think this is a good game as a break-in game where he doesn't have to overdo it, but
03:30he
03:30can get in there and get some work done and get back on track working on the field.
03:34But when I heard Rabel, someone asked him a question about A.J. Brown being available.
03:40He kind of had something in his voice where he was trying to play it cool, keep it revealed
03:48like he always does, not revealed, but, you know, hidden and keeping his cards hidden.
03:53But he let it out just a little bit.
03:55If you go back and just listen to the interview again, he got a little excited in his voice
04:02and he stopped himself, I think he knows.
04:05I mean, I don't, that's just my opinion.
04:08I have a little bit of experience analyzing behavior and patterns for gathering information.
04:15Sick brag, bro.
04:18That's the brag of the week.
04:20Excellent.
04:20I like it.
04:22So is there, Wiggy, you played the game.
04:24Is there any, like, is there any concern about a guy like that comes back and the offense
04:30has been cooking the last two weeks without him?
04:34No.
04:34You're disrupting that.
04:35Nope.
04:36So no concern.
04:37I actually like what the caller said, though.
04:39I kind of agree with the caller.
04:40This would be a game to kind of ease him back into.
04:43A game that you know you're going to win or you expect to win.
04:46It's at home.
04:47You kind of control the environment a little bit in the sense that you can control what
04:52his routine is, being at home, where he sleeps, all that stuff, right?
04:57And you can kind of ease him in, do what you got to do.
04:59And it's a game where, all right, you might not need him to be great, but he can kind
05:04of knock some of the rust off.
05:05Where I think you would need him more is Chicago.
05:07So why not have that be a second game where he's feeling a little bit more comfortable?
05:12He's knocked some of that.
05:13Acclimated.
05:15Yes.
05:15It's on the road.
05:16He's traveled.
05:17He's played.
05:18He knows what his, he's, the biggest thing, he knows what his body feels like after a game.
05:23And he knows what that ankle feels like after a game.
05:26And he's able to be like, okay, now here's how I feel going into the next game.
05:29So I don't mind.
05:30I actually like that.
05:31I retract my, my thought.
05:33I agree with Wiggy.
05:34Yeah.
05:34I think it's pretty.
05:35I've been talking to.
05:36I think it does make sense.
05:37It's not a game where he's going to have to play, you know, every snap.
05:39You get them at least on the field and game action.
05:41And then he's ready to go Thursday.
05:42Yeah.
05:43I think it's, I also think though, there's a chance that you kind of bump it back a week
05:46and they do that same idea, Wiggy, but with Miami into the Green Bay game.
05:49I just, I don't know if they're going to rush him back at all.
05:52So then you're saying he doesn't play the Jets and he doesn't play Chicago.
05:56All right.
05:57This is Nick from Weymouth.
05:59Hello, Nick.
06:01Hey, you doing?
06:02Tough break for the Pagers.
06:03Too bad the Rams didn't hang on to win.
06:06I know.
06:06I had a comment on the field goal kick.
06:09Okay.
06:09Three big problems.
06:12What the Bills saw on the first kick when the guy missed a wide to the left in the same
06:17hash mark
06:17is they only had one blocker, count them, one blocker to block the onrushing defensive line.
06:26Right.
06:27Did you say, I couldn't hear you.
06:29Did you say one blocker?
06:32Yeah.
06:33Okay.
06:33One blocker.
06:34One.
06:35Okay.
06:35Where was the gunna?
06:37Right by the hash mark.
06:39Yeah.
06:39Okay.
06:40So what the Rams did, they overloaded the right side of the kicking.
06:45Horrible angle.
06:46They were useless there.
06:48So what the Bills were prepared to do was overload to the right, sucker the guy coming out, the blocker.
06:55He was going to have to get them.
06:58Russo waited.
06:59He pranced in.
07:00So obviously, shame on the special teams guy.
07:05They fired their last guy this year.
07:07They should fire that guy based on what he did last night.
07:10Now, let's get to McVay.
07:12Okay.
07:12He admitted, he admitted in the postgame, two things.
07:18He should have trusted Stafford, who was on fire.
07:22Right.
07:22In the latter part of the quarter.
07:25Yeah, in the quarter.
07:26Staff.
07:27Yeah, he was on fire.
07:28Yeah.
07:28He took the ball out of his hands, and he left it with a shaky, finesse kicker.
07:34He is not a power kicker.
07:35He weighs 252, but he is not a power kicker.
07:39He fades to the left every time because he's not like Tucker.
07:43He used to play for the Ravens.
07:44He's not like the guy for Kansas City, et cetera.
07:49Did you see how fast the kicker, by the way, for the Bills at 45, he got to the ball.
07:55This guy loathed to the ball.
07:56But what he said is, he admitted that he should have taken a ball out of his hands because he
08:03could have possibly scored, and he would have had a better shot at getting a field goal.
08:07What do you think?
08:08Yeah, great.
08:09He's right.
08:09They definitely took the foot off the gas on that drive after James Cook fumbles in
08:13overtime.
08:14You get the ball, and once they got across midfield, they were kind of just lollygagging
08:18a little bit, and they're like, yeah, we're going to take this field goal and win the
08:21game instead of actually keeping their foot down on the gas.
