Speaker 2 (00:08):
Taylor put it on the poll.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Please if Jared Stidham is playing in the Super Bowl,
will you be watching, Mikey A will you be watching?
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
But not intently?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yes, not intently. That's a very good answer right there.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
It is to Goatza Company, our first show. What a
day to start a national radio show.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Huh is he?
Speaker 5 (00:31):
I mean on the holiday?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Yeah, at my daughter's birthday, both of them twins. I
was about to ask for It is to Gotz to Company.
I have never Mikey listen. I don't know what to
do here, because we should explain ourselves how we got here,
who we are, what we're doing, why we're here, and
all that. But there's so many stories going on in sports,
(00:55):
and I combine that with the fact that Taylor I
have never seen him this stressed out in my entire life. Now,
we've been doing this show for the most part, I
don't know, five or six months now, steg Gotts and Company.
This is to godtson Company Live. We've been doing it
from our dining rooms essentially from home. But here we
(01:15):
are in a radio studio, and I am glad to
be back in a radio studio, and I am glad
to do this before I get to Taylor eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox, I want to hear from you.
Oh felt so good. I can't wait to take a
phone call. But Taylor, what is going on here?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Toy? I know it's live, I know it's a radio station.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I know engineers are kind of buzzing around here, but
you're usually very cool, calm and collected. I have never
seen you this stressed out in your life. Okay, to
his credit, he's still cool.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Yeah, he's still kind of collected, definitely not com.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
His name is Wade Jones.
Speaker 7 (01:59):
I am so envious of how Stu Gotts just shows
up anywhere he goes, yeah, and just like, hey, I'm
just gonna figure it out last second. What he doesn't
realize is the I'm gonna figure out last second is
just Taylor filling in the gaps, being like Taylor's gonna
figure it all out, and then I'm just gonna show
up and be like, hey, just turn the mic on
and I can just talk about anything.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I gotta be honest, I've done too much work today.
I mean I wunked in well before Stu Gotts. By
the way, Yes, and.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
I see nervous tailor. He's running around. He's got engineers everywhere.
There's more fish on the TV than there are Fox
Sports logos. Okay, and then I hear Stu Gotts come in. Yeah,
just kind of assuming it's it's like it's a workday
that has happened for three years straight. Yes, and says
do we have a sound sheet? I don't even know
(02:49):
if we know where the sound is coming from yet.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I think it's coming from LA, but I'm not one
hundred percent certain. We will figure this out together the
entire show. By the way, and thank you to Fox
Sports Radio for having us an. iHeartMedia at Scott Shapiro
and all the great people who helped put this day
together for us, not for me, but for us.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
But I do need a sound cheap because.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I want to play Sean McDermott saying I'm doing this
for Buffalo the entire day because it's a laugh out
loud funny. That was the sound of a man who
knew he was about to get fired by the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Your MIC's not up on the top of cheek.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
I had a catch or not a catch? Yeah, Buffalo
Bill's game right because I think that's Sean McDermott was like,
I'm gonna go to bat for Buffalo right now because
I know my seats hot. And what are they all
revved up about right now? Whether or not Brandon Cooks
caught that ball.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I have no idea what's a catch or what's not?
In the NFL, I don't I have no idea what's
the cat. I'm not certain the referees have any sort
of idea. But that game, to me, was not about
a catch. It wasn't even about Sean McDermott. It was
about a guy that we call a generational quarterback in
Josh Allen, not getting it done. You cannot call yourself
(04:06):
a generational quarterback. And perhaps I'm being unfair to Josh
because to my knowledge, he's never called himself a generational quarterback.
But we do it all the time and have four
turnovers and then not be able to hit your tight
end who's wide open with a chance to win the game.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
You can't do it. So true, let me just put
the catch non catch thing to bed. Right, because I
understand that, let's say twenty years ago, thirty years ago,
that'd be called the catch. We move on, right. Since then,
they have made very specific rules for what it catches.
If surviving the ground on a catch is something we
(04:42):
are just all decided we're okay with.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Okay, that's the rule.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
It's a little bit harder to make a catch, but fine,
that's the rule. Then surviving the defensive player is easily
something that you have to be okay with.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Right.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
If you are coming to the ground and you cannot
reel that in because the defensive player has rattled it
out of your hands before you survive the ground, it
is cut and dry, not a catch. Don't show me
the still frame with Cooks down and the defender not
touching the ball yet or not having the ball yet,
because that is just a still frame and movement like
that is not the exact same thing. So that is
(05:18):
nothing to cry about.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
It's just a picture.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
It is amazing to me that we had two amazing
games all time games first game, last game with two
I guess if you want to call those games the bread,
the meat wasn't very good inside the sandwich.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
The two games in the middle were not great.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
But you have those two games, you have referees botching calls,
you have Josh Allen with yet another season ending, sad,
sad press conference with's am tired of those.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I gotta be honest with you, like someone blow them
out in the first half, so we have time to
process it. Okay, so upset right, let him crying half.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
And we got a National championship game tonight, fifteen miles
from these studios. Well, check in with a bear from
the parking lot. He'll be out there. He's been there
for a couple of hours. And yet somehow the transaction
again overtakes the actual action on the field, where all
of that stuff I have notes, I'm ready to do
the show, and all of a sudden, out of nowhere,
(06:25):
Sean McDermott is fired by the Buffalo Bills. Whether or
not you think Sean McDermott should have been fired, and
I do, is besides the point. The larger point is
I cannot believe that story a coach being fired takes
over the headlines on a daylight today?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Is he a daylight today?
Speaker 6 (06:46):
It's not a three time Super Bowl winning coach. It's
a coach who is largely underachieved since he's been with Buffalo,
And like you said, like the idea of him at
this being shocking news, it's not really. I wouldn't been
shocked if I heard it two years ago, last year,
or this year. But now this is the interesting part
to me, Stu Gotts. It's not so much whether Sean
(07:08):
McDermott is was a good coach. It's are we going
to find out that it was all his fault this
whole time and that Josh Allen has been held back?
Or is it the other way round? Is it you
know a Sean McDermott sort of elevated Josh and we
maybe saw the best of Josh Allen and that you
cannot sort of coach these decision making errors out of him, because,
(07:33):
whether you like it or not, the guy turns the
ball over at horrendous times still, and just because we
love the way he plays, just because we love the
rocket arm, the escapability, and the fact that he has
sort of overcome his poor reputation at least when he
was drafted and that first year to now become the
guy that everybody loves as the MVP. But if Jalen Hurts,
(07:57):
has that exact same game and gets eliminated from the playoff.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
He's getting murdered publicly.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
And I think Josh Allen gets a little bit of
slack because we like the way he plays and we
feel bad for him for losing to Patrick Mahomes after
having a lead with thirteen seconds left in the fourth quarter.
And I think if we sort of fast forward a
little bit, is it going to be a Josh Allen
finally broke free from his coach and is now winning
rings or is it just same problem over and over
(08:22):
again with Josh Allen. He might get lucky and win one,
but it's not going to be this guy carrying a
team and us saying, oh okay, his coach was holding
us back.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
It's so interesting the fact that this is the only
true Super Bowl or bust I can ever remember, because
he won a playoff game. He got them into the
playoffs and won a playoff game, and it wasn't enough.
They fired him. And now I'm looking at it and
I go, why when nine other teams have already fired
their coach, are you willing to get rid of somebody
(08:53):
right who gets you his won five AFCs titles. He's
gotten you to the playoffs eight out of nine years.
Why in this market do you want to say, let's
get rid of our guy. I think it's always easy
to say get rid of the guy. Sometimes you have
to ask yourself.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
For who there was something Josh said going into this
game or into these playoffs. Maybe, but talking about how
the Buffalo Bills winning the Super Bowl remains one of
the greatest stories in sports to happen. And it's true,
right they're just known as the consistent losers, you know,
when Jim Kelly and then we're there and now it
just can't really get past Patrick Mahomes now that Josh
(09:30):
Allen is there, and it had me sold as the
best possible storyline ending for these playoffs. But I think
it needs a little bit more. I think it needs
to be streaked out a little bit more. I think
Josh Allen needs to lose a little bit more for
him to finally.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Be the best story in sports.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
That did feel like though, when Josh Allen loses to
the Broncos. It felt like a quarterback realizing this was
my moment because this is probably the worst Buffalo team
that he's had in the past five seasons, where any
other of those Buffalo teams probably walks their way to
the super Bowl, and then he's looking at the landscape
of the NFL. No Lamar Jackson, no Mahomes, And even
(10:10):
though this was his worst team, it hurts for Josh
Allen today because yes, he carried this team to the playoffs,
but the reason their home today is because of those
turnovers that he had.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Right and now we're left with Jared Stidham. I mean,
and no one wants that. The NFL, I am telling
you right now, of the potential matchups left for the
Super Bowl, they are praying that it's Patriots and Rams.
They want nothing to do with Sam Darnold versus Jared Stidham.
(10:42):
I'm not certain I want anything to do with that.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
I don't know if bon Nicks was healthy, if they'd
still want the Denver Broncos to win that game.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Probably not.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
I think the Patriots and Drake may make for a
better story just because it's such a quick turnaround.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
Was it strange how fast that bon Nick's news happened.
Where Sean Payton leaves the press conference and you're like, okay,
getting ready for the next day of games, and then
he comes back and he goes and by the way, guys,
uh bonicks out for the season.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Boken ankle.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Make yes, yes, you're frozen, by the way on my computer.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Anyway, it's it's it truly.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Is amazing that Josh Allen so upset, so mad, the
coach gets fired.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Josh Allen's fine.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
We continue to make excuses for Josh Allen, and I
feel like we're gonna do it till the end of time.
That game was on Josh Allen, that game was in
Josh Allen's hands.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Josh Allen had.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Multiple opportunities to win that game and couldn't get it done.
And so I do wonder how we're gonna view Josh
Allen here moving forward, because you look at all the
other great quarterbacks kind of throughout time. Is he Patrick
Mahomes with Andy Reid? They don't now Lamar Jackson is
going through it. And boy, I guarantee you John Harbaugh,
which is he hadn't signed that contract with the New
(12:06):
York Giants. But you have quarterbacks who are generational quarterbacks
and normally their coach may step down, but they don't
get fired in the peak of their careers. And now
you have it with not one but two quarterbacks in
Lamar Jackson at Josh Allen. It's not normal for the
(12:26):
coach to be fired Normally they've done enough winning where
that coach is going to stay with.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
That quarterback forever.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
But those are the similarities, right, like as a McDermott
didn't win a Super Bowl before Josh Allen the way
Harbad did before Lamar Jackson. However, it does feel like
for both of them that those relationships have just expired,
like it's just time to move on. And this is
something I don't know if it's Josh Allen's fault.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
I don't know if it's.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Brandon Bean, who somehow got promoted in this whole mess
when he was you know, the guy who orchestra built
this not so great roster. But there was a game,
it was against the Dolphins this year where I said
to myself, this team's not winning a Super Bowl. It's impossible.
And it was because of this statistic. Against the Dolphins.
He had three point five to three seconds on average
to throw the ball, which is the most time he's
(13:14):
had since twenty eighteen, right, and you know what, he
kept looking at covered receivers. He did not have anybody
to throw it to. So that's either the scheme, which
not every scheme in the NFL is built on your
receiver beating a corner. It could be just good, you know,
good scheme and you get guys open that way. But
you know, it's either offensive line play, it's I don't
(13:34):
have any receivers. It's I'm turning the ball over too much.
You can place the blame in a million different places.
It seems like nobody really wants to put it on
Josh Allen's shoulders. And it feels like because Brandon Bean
just got promoted and it's now president of Football Ops,
that there's still yet another person they can blame before
they get to Josh Allen.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Going back to Taylor's point with McDermott, I have to
feel if you get rid of Sean mcdurhmy, you know
who's replacing Sean McDermott. Don't you think like you have
an idea of who's good now? Maybe they thought it
would be Horrorbob and Horba. I think the Giants probably
made John sign that deal before he knew the outcome
of the of the Bills game, like I would have
(14:15):
if I'm Joe Shane and Joe Shane's a friend of mine,
and perhaps he'll be on.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
The show this week.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
If I'm Joe Shane, I am like, hey, sign this contract.
I'm not going to allow you to see if the
Bills lose and then see if the Bills fire. Sean McDermott,
I have to think the Bills have somebody in mind.
I don't know who that somebody is. Mike Tomlin is
out there. There are a lot of guys out there. Uh,
but listen, you have a chance to coach this quarterback.
(14:40):
And I think that's a job where Kerrent head coaches
who have job security are probably calling their agent and.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Saying, hey, you think Buffalo would be interested in me? Maybe?
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Yeah, I mean he's that good.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
But he also, like I said, throws out these interceptions
like I don't know if you're gonna have a coach,
make coach that decision, make out of him.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Our good friend Diana Rassini has a name. She's already said,
don't be surprised if we start hearing Brian day Ball,
former Giants head coach, because yes, Josh Allen and him
were best friends. I mean that the knockout Josh Allen
coming out was Oh, he's in accurate. He's an accurate.
Brian da Ball said, I got that. Don't worry about it.
(15:22):
Now he's available again.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Taylor, why did you pump your fist when he said,
Brian Dayball, Brian Daball, come on down, and why.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Are you doing the price is right, I'm.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
Imagining in the crowd and now he's coming down and
he's kind of like waddling down.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Nobody has ever been that excited to hear he got fired.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
If you're Brian Daball, you're sitting at home, you're embarrassed
that you got fired from the Giants. You're hearing everybody
say John Harball is going to make them a playoff team.
And then how do you get rewarded? Oh, you might
get the job with a significantly better quarterback and his
team that has a significantly higher ceiling than the team
that just fired you, the Giants.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Right, it seems like a it seems like day Ball.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
It seems like he's getting too much for the job
he did with the Giants, like he's.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Getting, doesn't it?
Speaker 5 (16:09):
What was the job upwards?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Like me? Right?
Speaker 7 (16:15):
But John Harball with Buffalo wouldn't really make that much
sense because John Harball's biggest complaint was that he didn't
get the most out of a quarterback that was an
MVP level quarterback. If you're Buffalo, you don't replace somebody
with almost a carbon copy of that guy, right. It
feels like you do need somebody if you're Buffalo that's
gonna raise your ceiling. And I don't think John Harball
(16:38):
necessarily does that. And that's why he goes somewhere like
the Giants who just need their floor rais and somebody
like Harball coming in kind of does that.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
It's a job with lesser expectations, which some people would
say that's the better job. I would say, no, the
job that has Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen attached to it,
that's the better job.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
John Harbaugh stabilizes an organization. He gets everything organized, He
the right people, hopefully runs a smooth operation. He's not
going to be the innovator that turns Josh Allen from
MVP great to Super Bowl Champion great or repeat super
Bowl Champion great. He's a good guy to have. As
(17:17):
for your organization, I'd rather if I'm the Buffalo Bills
look for somebody that has just a little bit of
a difference. Maybe offensively just has something that we haven't
seen before and we haven't talked about because John Harbough
feel like it's kind of spent.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Is it day ball?
Speaker 8 (17:31):
Though?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Is it Mike McDaniel? Is it?
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Like?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Who would be that guy?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
And you could hire a head coach to kind of
be the CEO and then just hire a guy like
Mike McDaniel an offensive genius.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Now that would be funny if the caarsel has gotten
to the point where Mike McDaniel would go from the
Dolphins to the Bills, and on top of that, hey,
why don't you just trade me Tyreek Hill as well?
Then I'd be a little scared of the Buffalo Bills yet.
But I don't know if Mike McDaniel's your answer.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
So if you're the Ravens, what do you do with
Sean McDermott, Like, is that a guy you would consider?
Because Taylor's point is a good point in the cases
of McDermott and John Harbaughugh. So in Harba, if he
went to Buffalo, he couldn't win with his generational quarterback
in Baltimore, So he's gonna go to Buffalo and try
to win with their generational quarterback and McDermott it would
(18:15):
be the same thing. You couldn't win with Josh Allen
and now we're gonna hire you to coach Lamar.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Yeah, I think Lamar John McDermott.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
I don't think he gets looked at as this guy
who just brought the Buffalo Bills out of nowhere and
broke that eighteen year non playoff streak, because they're gonna
look at it at the end of Oh, you had
this amazing MVP level quarterback and couldn't do enough with him.
Of course you were going to break that playoff drought.
That was inevitable if you have this guy. But how
good of a coach are you really? I don't think
anybody's just hiring him this first year out.
Speaker 7 (18:45):
If you're the Ravens, you can't hire another choker. You
have to just go go to Sean McVay. Ask him
what assistance does he like best? All right, that's our guy.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Let's just ask McVay. What makes you think McVeigh wouldn't
want one of these jobs. I mean, some great games
over the week. I'm serious with McVeigh. There are coaches
who are like, wait a second, Matthew Stafford is thirty
eight years old. I have Stetson Bennett as my backup,
and I have a chance to go coach Josh Allen
(19:13):
A Liltmore Jackson. I'm not saying McVay is going to
do that. Before we break here at Dan Burk's going
to join us. We'll have we CAN observations coming up.
I'll explain those before we get into them in just
a couple of minutes. Here, Frank Calliando, our friend is
going to join us at four o'clock and we have
a national championship game to get to tonight Miami and Indiana.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Kurtzignetti to Buffalo. How about that?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I mean.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
He's staying right there.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Really, he's a college guy.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Marcus Freeman, I'll take him. Yeah, No, would he take
the job though? I know you would take him? Who
wouldn't take it? Before we break here, though, I want
to play the sound of Sean McDermott again. Remember this
is after another terrible, terrible playoff loss, and Sean McDermott
has the feeling that Paul is going to fire him.
(20:02):
And so here is Sean McDermott not sticking up for Buffalo.
Here's Sean McDermott sticking up for himself.
Speaker 8 (20:09):
I'm saying it because I'm standing up for Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Dammit.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
I'm standing up for us because what went on is
not that is not how it should go down. In
my estimation, that that plays. These guys spend three hours
out there playing football, pouring their guts out to not
even say, hey, let's just slow this thing down. That's
that's why I'm.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Bothered standing up for Buffalo.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Is he one of you at the officials?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Let's hear it again, please, just one more time.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
I'm saying it because I'm standing up for Buffalo, Damnit.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I'm standing up for us. Taylor put it on the pall.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Was McDermott standing up for Buffalo or standing up for
himself because he knew he was about to get fired.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
A lot of news there.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
I had no idea Mike McDaniel might be going to Vegas.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Yeah, that's a marriage made in heaven.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
How about the Dolphins interviewing the Lions defensive coordinator mikey
A and I can tell you how that goes with
the jets, I mean not good. No, ad Nan Vurka
to join us here in just a second, very excited
to speak to Adnan. We have weeken observations. This was
(21:28):
a segment that I've done for I don't know twenty years,
did them with Dan but and they were called weekend observations.
It started because I'm just writing down notes in the
notes app on my iPhone over the weekend, and it's,
you know, just observations things I'm watching as they're happening.
(21:49):
And Dan caught wind of this that I actually did this,
and then asked me to make it a segment, and
we started doing them every single Monday. We call them
weekend observation, but because I'm no longer there, we call
them we can observations because.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
We have to.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
If I remember correctly from listening to them, it was
handwritten notes initially, not your notes thing, and you would
just write these small, little like phrases and then just
repeat them and you'd be like, yeah, okay, I remember
what I was talking about back then, and then you
just fleshed it out to be you know, the longest
list of hot takes in the history of a segment.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Yes and now Taylor writes them esh spoiler alert and
does a very good job. Adnan Burke is with us
our buddy by the way, eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox. I'm going to give out that number and
not take a single phone call the entire day. I
know it, I know it. It's unfortunate, Adnan. How are you, buddy?
We're working on We're working on it. Ah, just tell
(22:51):
them to call in on a hot lot. I mean,
what are we doing here? Radio has changed? It's the
last time I did it. It's crazy, is he? What'd
you make of Ben Johnson? Before we get to ad
Nan here, Ben Johnson not having.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Well, I gotta be careful that. I want to ask
if I could say it, I don't know if I can.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Stones not having the Stones to go for it on
fourth down, fourth and short.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
He's done it all year. I'm sorry, not going for
the two to win the game.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
After the Caleb Williams amazing pass, a fourteen yard pass
that was forty yards. It's a play that will probably
forget because the Barons ended up losing. But what a play,
what a game, what a player Caleb Williams. But Ben
Johnson when you have that team down. They were rattled,
they were frazzled, and you gave them time to kind
of regroup on the sidelines for overtime as opposed to
(23:46):
going for it for the two and the win in
that spot. For me, if you're gonna go for two
and be the guy that goes for two, then go
for two all the time. And how Ben Johnson didn't
do it in that spot is beyond me.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
It's funny how the thinking changes when it's you know,
two and a half yards to convert a first down
versus two and a half yards to get two points, right, Right, Yes,
it would seem like the latter is the bigger.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Reward and people would do it more often.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Right because that fourth down, very often in a final
drive is the ballgame. Yes, so is the two point conversion. Right,
It's the ballgame. And so when you have that momentum,
I'm with you, but I think it's more disappointing that
it's not just leading up to that game where you
should be thinking yourself. If you're the Chicago Bears, probably
(24:36):
playing with house money. If I get an opportunity to
roll the dice on something, I'm gonna do it. But
then you have, you know, the extended portion of that
drive where you just you have to be thinking about it, Hey,
are we going for two here? And if the predetermined
answer was no, then I'm with you, like, you can't
be that guy who is the you know, the guy
(24:57):
who goes for it all the time and doesn't go
for the win in that spot. If he tells me, hey,
you know what, honestly caught up in the moment, didn't
really have an answer, didn't have a play ready, just
decided to go to overtime, I'd give him sort of
a pass. It's his first year, and as a head
coach in the playoffs, it's his first year. You know,
making that decision in a playoff game would be a wild,
(25:20):
very difficult decision. So that way, i'd give him a pass.
But if he decided beforehand, no chance, I'm going for two,
then I'd blame him.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
In defense of Ben Johnson, the Bears weren't great in
their short yard situations before that time, and you lose
Colson Lovelin, who is probably Caleb Williams number one trusted
option to a concussion. You don't have him for that play.
And it's not like they lost the game because of
that decision. In overtime, they had the ball, they got
(25:49):
to stop, and then all they had to do was
just get in field goal range. And then the Bears
offense just didn't come through that.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
What's Ben Johnson's biggest strength as enough as.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
A head coach, probably aggressiveness.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
It's his offensive play calling, it's his offensive design. Have
the best play that you ever needed in your life
for a two point conversion in your back pocket every
single playoff game, and I.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Would say that circumstances changed. Maybe he said to himself, Hey,
I'm going to go for the tie if we score here.
But when you score on a play like that, the
momentum is in your favor. And you have a coach
who is stun a great coach who is stunned on
the sidelines, and an entire team that is stunned. You
know what you do. You go for two because they're stunned.
You know what you don't do. You don't give that
coach a chance to send a message to his team
(26:33):
and give them the opportunity to regroup before the overtime.
Go for it because you are right Chicago, of all
the teams playing in these playoffs. They are probably playing
with more house money than any other team. Bears fans
are looking forward to the fure. Caleb said it himself
after the game last night. Yeah, I'm disappointed, but I'm
(26:55):
excited about the future. Teams come into the playoffs with
different exptions. Buffalo losing, not good, coach gets fired, Chicago losing.
No one's gonna get fired, no one's gonna get hurt.
Everyone's gonna pick them to come out of the NFC
next year. But the circumstances of the game changed, And
as a coach, even if you say to yourself, I'm
(27:17):
gonna try to tie the game, if the circumstances changed,
you need to change with them. That was a chance
to put the Rams out of the playoffs and put
yourselves into the NFC Championship game. And he didn't do it,
and he's been doing it all season.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
You're saying that the Bears were playing with house money,
And while I do agree to that to an extent,
how did that work out for the Commanders last year?
Because everybody kind of just assumed that the Commanders would
get right back. They have the young quarterback, and now they're.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Do it next year. Okay, he's gotta get over his it.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Look.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Ben Johnson had the opportunity to have one of the
most I we can't think of another phrase here, gangster
seasons for a head coach of all time. Comes in,
makes star out of Caleb Williams, does the shirtless dance
thing in the locker room, does the drive by lafloor
handshake like twice down the stretch of the season, and
(28:10):
then would have made that two point conversion call and
won the game that way.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Yeah, to knock out.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
Probably the favored Rams to win the whole thing, right, Yes,
that if he would have gone on to then win
the Super Bowl in Chicago, it would have been arguably
the greatest coaching season of I mean, definitely the greatest
debut coaching season by anybody, right, I would say, but
one of the greatest coaching seasons ever just in terms
of memorable things that you can say that coach did.

chucking along a lot, right?
Speaker 3 (33:36):
It is the Bills led the league, or lead the
league in white guys with a little bit of hair.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Tony Romo, the Chris Collinsworth is strong in you Weekends
to King Mahomes.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Oh it was fantastic, but no, but here's here's a
better moment, all of us talking over each other for
the first in the show.

I love it, not add Dan, he knows who he was.
I love you, Michael.

But true?
Speaker 2 (34:39):
It's so true. Buffalo Bill's death by Moonball Bill's fans.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
The good news is it wouldn't have counted until you
did it against Mahomes.
Speaker 9 (34:51):
Anyways, No, good Point's personal record book.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Excellent point by that book. While you're rather Oh, you're
so good.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Can't wait to see what rules the NFL changes this offseason.
For Josh Allen, you can't be a great tight end
until an announcer calls you a safety blanket.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
It's true. Yeah, good point. McCall Hartman is a bill.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
I was also stunned by that.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
That's a great one. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Do you think any part of Peyton Manning saw the
Bonnicks injury and said, if Philip Rivers can do it,
why can't I?
Speaker 5 (35:37):
If you had ten kids, he'd do it.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
For the health insurance, the sheriff, Broncos, the rare win.

Yeah, I have about a minute here, and I have
a seventeen thousand more observation to go.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Thank you. I just heard it in my headset.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
Duke football getting mad that the quarterback they paid a
ton of a ton of money to leave to Tulane
is now leaving Duke for even more money. Duke football,
the Stu Gotts is strong in you. You know what
they say, if you can't win an ACC championship, pay
ten million dollars for the quarterback that did.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
How could they do that to their boy?
Speaker 2 (37:28):
That's so wrong.
Speaker 3 (37:31):

Speaker 3 (00:09):
Please if Jared Stidham is playing in the Super Bowl,
will you be watching, Mikey A will you be watching?
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
But not intently?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yes, not intently. That's a very good answer right there.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
It is to Goatza Company, our first show. What a
day to start a national radio show.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Huh is he?
Speaker 5 (00:31):
I mean on the holiday?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Yeah, at my daughter's birthday, both of them twins. I
was about to ask for It is to Gotz to Company.
I have never Mikey listen. I don't know what to
do here, because we should explain ourselves how we got here,
who we are, what we're doing, why we're here, and
all that. But there's so many stories going on in sports,
(00:55):
and I combine that with the fact that Taylor I
have never seen him this stressed out in my entire life. Now,
we've been doing this show for the most part, I
don't know, five or six months now, steg Gotts and Company.
This is to godtson Company Live. We've been doing it
from our dining rooms essentially from home. But here we
(01:15):
are in a radio studio, and I am glad to
be back in a radio studio, and I am glad
to do this before I get to Taylor eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox, I want to hear from you.
Oh felt so good. I can't wait to take a
phone call. But Taylor, what is going on here?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Toy? I know it's live, I know it's a radio station.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I know engineers are kind of buzzing around here, but
you're usually very cool, calm and collected. I have never
seen you this stressed out in your life. Okay, to
his credit, he's still cool.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Yeah, he's still kind of collected, definitely not com.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
His name is Wade Jones.
Speaker 7 (01:59):
I am so envious of how Stu Gotts just shows
up anywhere he goes, yeah, and just like, hey, I'm
just gonna figure it out last second. What he doesn't
realize is the I'm gonna figure out last second is
just Taylor filling in the gaps, being like Taylor's gonna
figure it all out, and then I'm just gonna show
up and be like, hey, just turn the mic on
and I can just talk about anything.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I gotta be honest, I've done too much work today.
I mean I wunked in well before Stu Gotts. By
the way, Yes, and.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
I see nervous tailor. He's running around. He's got engineers everywhere.
There's more fish on the TV than there are Fox
Sports logos. Okay, and then I hear Stu Gotts come in. Yeah,
just kind of assuming it's it's like it's a workday
that has happened for three years straight. Yes, and says
do we have a sound sheet? I don't even know
(02:49):
if we know where the sound is coming from yet.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I think it's coming from LA, but I'm not one
hundred percent certain. We will figure this out together the
entire show. By the way, and thank you to Fox
Sports Radio for having us an. iHeartMedia at Scott Shapiro
and all the great people who helped put this day
together for us, not for me, but for us.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
But I do need a sound cheap because.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I want to play Sean McDermott saying I'm doing this
for Buffalo the entire day because it's a laugh out
loud funny. That was the sound of a man who
knew he was about to get fired by the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Your MIC's not up on the top of cheek.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
I had a catch or not a catch? Yeah, Buffalo
Bill's game right because I think that's Sean McDermott was like,
I'm gonna go to bat for Buffalo right now because
I know my seats hot. And what are they all
revved up about right now? Whether or not Brandon Cooks
caught that ball.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I have no idea what's a catch or what's not?
In the NFL, I don't I have no idea what's
the cat. I'm not certain the referees have any sort
of idea. But that game, to me, was not about
a catch. It wasn't even about Sean McDermott. It was
about a guy that we call a generational quarterback in
Josh Allen, not getting it done. You cannot call yourself
(04:06):
a generational quarterback. And perhaps I'm being unfair to Josh
because to my knowledge, he's never called himself a generational quarterback.
But we do it all the time and have four
turnovers and then not be able to hit your tight
end who's wide open with a chance to win the game.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
You can't do it. So true, let me just put
the catch non catch thing to bed. Right, because I
understand that, let's say twenty years ago, thirty years ago,
that'd be called the catch. We move on, right. Since then,
they have made very specific rules for what it catches.
If surviving the ground on a catch is something we
(04:42):
are just all decided we're okay with.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Okay, that's the rule.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
It's a little bit harder to make a catch, but fine,
that's the rule. Then surviving the defensive player is easily
something that you have to be okay with.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Right.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
If you are coming to the ground and you cannot
reel that in because the defensive player has rattled it
out of your hands before you survive the ground, it
is cut and dry, not a catch. Don't show me
the still frame with Cooks down and the defender not
touching the ball yet or not having the ball yet,
because that is just a still frame and movement like
that is not the exact same thing. So that is
(05:18):
nothing to cry about.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
It's just a picture.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
It is amazing to me that we had two amazing
games all time games first game, last game with two
I guess if you want to call those games the bread,
the meat wasn't very good inside the sandwich.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
The two games in the middle were not great.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
But you have those two games, you have referees botching calls,
you have Josh Allen with yet another season ending, sad,
sad press conference with's am tired of those.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I gotta be honest with you, like someone blow them
out in the first half, so we have time to
process it. Okay, so upset right, let him crying half.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
And we got a National championship game tonight, fifteen miles
from these studios. Well, check in with a bear from
the parking lot. He'll be out there. He's been there
for a couple of hours. And yet somehow the transaction
again overtakes the actual action on the field, where all
of that stuff I have notes, I'm ready to do
the show, and all of a sudden, out of nowhere,
(06:25):
Sean McDermott is fired by the Buffalo Bills. Whether or
not you think Sean McDermott should have been fired, and
I do, is besides the point. The larger point is
I cannot believe that story a coach being fired takes
over the headlines on a daylight today?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Is he a daylight today?
Speaker 6 (06:46):
It's not a three time Super Bowl winning coach. It's
a coach who is largely underachieved since he's been with Buffalo,
And like you said, like the idea of him at
this being shocking news, it's not really. I wouldn't been
shocked if I heard it two years ago, last year,
or this year. But now this is the interesting part
to me, Stu Gotts. It's not so much whether Sean
(07:08):
McDermott is was a good coach. It's are we going
to find out that it was all his fault this
whole time and that Josh Allen has been held back?
Or is it the other way round? Is it you
know a Sean McDermott sort of elevated Josh and we
maybe saw the best of Josh Allen and that you
cannot sort of coach these decision making errors out of him, because,
(07:33):
whether you like it or not, the guy turns the
ball over at horrendous times still, and just because we
love the way he plays, just because we love the
rocket arm, the escapability, and the fact that he has
sort of overcome his poor reputation at least when he
was drafted and that first year to now become the
guy that everybody loves as the MVP. But if Jalen Hurts,
(07:57):
has that exact same game and gets eliminated from the playoff.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
He's getting murdered publicly.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
And I think Josh Allen gets a little bit of
slack because we like the way he plays and we
feel bad for him for losing to Patrick Mahomes after
having a lead with thirteen seconds left in the fourth quarter.
And I think if we sort of fast forward a
little bit, is it going to be a Josh Allen
finally broke free from his coach and is now winning
rings or is it just same problem over and over
(08:22):
again with Josh Allen. He might get lucky and win one,
but it's not going to be this guy carrying a
team and us saying, oh okay, his coach was holding
us back.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
It's so interesting the fact that this is the only
true Super Bowl or bust I can ever remember, because
he won a playoff game. He got them into the
playoffs and won a playoff game, and it wasn't enough.
They fired him. And now I'm looking at it and
I go, why when nine other teams have already fired
their coach, are you willing to get rid of somebody
(08:53):
right who gets you his won five AFCs titles. He's
gotten you to the playoffs eight out of nine years.
Why in this market do you want to say, let's
get rid of our guy. I think it's always easy
to say get rid of the guy. Sometimes you have
to ask yourself.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
For who there was something Josh said going into this
game or into these playoffs. Maybe, but talking about how
the Buffalo Bills winning the Super Bowl remains one of
the greatest stories in sports to happen. And it's true,
right they're just known as the consistent losers, you know,
when Jim Kelly and then we're there and now it
just can't really get past Patrick Mahomes now that Josh
(09:30):
Allen is there, and it had me sold as the
best possible storyline ending for these playoffs. But I think
it needs a little bit more. I think it needs
to be streaked out a little bit more. I think
Josh Allen needs to lose a little bit more for
him to finally.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Be the best story in sports.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
That did feel like though, when Josh Allen loses to
the Broncos. It felt like a quarterback realizing this was
my moment because this is probably the worst Buffalo team
that he's had in the past five seasons, where any
other of those Buffalo teams probably walks their way to
the super Bowl, and then he's looking at the landscape
of the NFL. No Lamar Jackson, no Mahomes, And even
(10:10):
though this was his worst team, it hurts for Josh
Allen today because yes, he carried this team to the playoffs,
but the reason their home today is because of those
turnovers that he had.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Right and now we're left with Jared Stidham. I mean,
and no one wants that. The NFL, I am telling
you right now, of the potential matchups left for the
Super Bowl, they are praying that it's Patriots and Rams.
They want nothing to do with Sam Darnold versus Jared Stidham.
(10:42):
I'm not certain I want anything to do with that.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
I don't know if bon Nicks was healthy, if they'd
still want the Denver Broncos to win that game.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Probably not.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
I think the Patriots and Drake may make for a
better story just because it's such a quick turnaround.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
Was it strange how fast that bon Nick's news happened.
Where Sean Payton leaves the press conference and you're like, okay,
getting ready for the next day of games, and then
he comes back and he goes and by the way, guys,
uh bonicks out for the season.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Boken ankle.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Make yes, yes, you're frozen, by the way on my computer.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Anyway, it's it's it truly.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Is amazing that Josh Allen so upset, so mad, the
coach gets fired.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Josh Allen's fine.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
We continue to make excuses for Josh Allen, and I
feel like we're gonna do it till the end of time.
That game was on Josh Allen, that game was in
Josh Allen's hands.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Josh Allen had.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Multiple opportunities to win that game and couldn't get it done.
And so I do wonder how we're gonna view Josh
Allen here moving forward, because you look at all the
other great quarterbacks kind of throughout time. Is he Patrick
Mahomes with Andy Reid? They don't now Lamar Jackson is
going through it. And boy, I guarantee you John Harbaugh,
which is he hadn't signed that contract with the New
(12:06):
York Giants. But you have quarterbacks who are generational quarterbacks
and normally their coach may step down, but they don't
get fired in the peak of their careers. And now
you have it with not one but two quarterbacks in
Lamar Jackson at Josh Allen. It's not normal for the
(12:26):
coach to be fired Normally they've done enough winning where
that coach is going to stay with.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
That quarterback forever.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
But those are the similarities, right, like as a McDermott
didn't win a Super Bowl before Josh Allen the way
Harbad did before Lamar Jackson. However, it does feel like
for both of them that those relationships have just expired,
like it's just time to move on. And this is
something I don't know if it's Josh Allen's fault.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
I don't know if it's.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Brandon Bean, who somehow got promoted in this whole mess
when he was you know, the guy who orchestra built
this not so great roster. But there was a game,
it was against the Dolphins this year where I said
to myself, this team's not winning a Super Bowl. It's impossible.
And it was because of this statistic. Against the Dolphins.
He had three point five to three seconds on average
to throw the ball, which is the most time he's
(13:14):
had since twenty eighteen, right, and you know what, he
kept looking at covered receivers. He did not have anybody
to throw it to. So that's either the scheme, which
not every scheme in the NFL is built on your
receiver beating a corner. It could be just good, you know,
good scheme and you get guys open that way. But
you know, it's either offensive line play, it's I don't
(13:34):
have any receivers. It's I'm turning the ball over too much.
You can place the blame in a million different places.
It seems like nobody really wants to put it on
Josh Allen's shoulders. And it feels like because Brandon Bean
just got promoted and it's now president of Football Ops,
that there's still yet another person they can blame before
they get to Josh Allen.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Going back to Taylor's point with McDermott, I have to
feel if you get rid of Sean mcdurhmy, you know
who's replacing Sean McDermott. Don't you think like you have
an idea of who's good now? Maybe they thought it
would be Horrorbob and Horba. I think the Giants probably
made John sign that deal before he knew the outcome
of the of the Bills game, like I would have
(14:15):
if I'm Joe Shane and Joe Shane's a friend of mine,
and perhaps he'll be on.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
The show this week.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
If I'm Joe Shane, I am like, hey, sign this contract.
I'm not going to allow you to see if the
Bills lose and then see if the Bills fire. Sean McDermott,
I have to think the Bills have somebody in mind.
I don't know who that somebody is. Mike Tomlin is
out there. There are a lot of guys out there. Uh,
but listen, you have a chance to coach this quarterback.
(14:40):
And I think that's a job where Kerrent head coaches
who have job security are probably calling their agent and.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Saying, hey, you think Buffalo would be interested in me? Maybe?
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Yeah, I mean he's that good.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
But he also, like I said, throws out these interceptions
like I don't know if you're gonna have a coach,
make coach that decision, make out of him.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Our good friend Diana Rassini has a name. She's already said,
don't be surprised if we start hearing Brian day Ball,
former Giants head coach, because yes, Josh Allen and him
were best friends. I mean that the knockout Josh Allen
coming out was Oh, he's in accurate. He's an accurate.
Brian da Ball said, I got that. Don't worry about it.
(15:22):
Now he's available again.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Taylor, why did you pump your fist when he said,
Brian Dayball, Brian Daball, come on down, and why.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Are you doing the price is right, I'm.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
Imagining in the crowd and now he's coming down and
he's kind of like waddling down.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Nobody has ever been that excited to hear he got fired.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
If you're Brian Daball, you're sitting at home, you're embarrassed
that you got fired from the Giants. You're hearing everybody
say John Harball is going to make them a playoff team.
And then how do you get rewarded? Oh, you might
get the job with a significantly better quarterback and his
team that has a significantly higher ceiling than the team
that just fired you, the Giants.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Right, it seems like a it seems like day Ball.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
It seems like he's getting too much for the job
he did with the Giants, like he's.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Getting, doesn't it?
Speaker 5 (16:09):
What was the job upwards?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Like me? Right?
Speaker 7 (16:15):
But John Harball with Buffalo wouldn't really make that much
sense because John Harball's biggest complaint was that he didn't
get the most out of a quarterback that was an
MVP level quarterback. If you're Buffalo, you don't replace somebody
with almost a carbon copy of that guy, right. It
feels like you do need somebody if you're Buffalo that's
gonna raise your ceiling. And I don't think John Harball
(16:38):
necessarily does that. And that's why he goes somewhere like
the Giants who just need their floor rais and somebody
like Harball coming in kind of does that.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
It's a job with lesser expectations, which some people would
say that's the better job. I would say, no, the
job that has Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen attached to it,
that's the better job.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
John Harbaugh stabilizes an organization. He gets everything organized, He
the right people, hopefully runs a smooth operation. He's not
going to be the innovator that turns Josh Allen from
MVP great to Super Bowl Champion great or repeat super
Bowl Champion great. He's a good guy to have. As
(17:17):
for your organization, I'd rather if I'm the Buffalo Bills
look for somebody that has just a little bit of
a difference. Maybe offensively just has something that we haven't
seen before and we haven't talked about because John Harbough
feel like it's kind of spent.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Is it day ball?
Speaker 8 (17:31):
Though?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Is it Mike McDaniel? Is it?
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Like?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Who would be that guy?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
And you could hire a head coach to kind of
be the CEO and then just hire a guy like
Mike McDaniel an offensive genius.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Now that would be funny if the caarsel has gotten
to the point where Mike McDaniel would go from the
Dolphins to the Bills, and on top of that, hey,
why don't you just trade me Tyreek Hill as well?
Then I'd be a little scared of the Buffalo Bills yet.
But I don't know if Mike McDaniel's your answer.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
So if you're the Ravens, what do you do with
Sean McDermott, Like, is that a guy you would consider?
Because Taylor's point is a good point in the cases
of McDermott and John Harbaughugh. So in Harba, if he
went to Buffalo, he couldn't win with his generational quarterback
in Baltimore, So he's gonna go to Buffalo and try
to win with their generational quarterback and McDermott it would
(18:15):
be the same thing. You couldn't win with Josh Allen
and now we're gonna hire you to coach Lamar.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Yeah, I think Lamar John McDermott.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
I don't think he gets looked at as this guy
who just brought the Buffalo Bills out of nowhere and
broke that eighteen year non playoff streak, because they're gonna
look at it at the end of Oh, you had
this amazing MVP level quarterback and couldn't do enough with him.
Of course you were going to break that playoff drought.
That was inevitable if you have this guy. But how
good of a coach are you really? I don't think
anybody's just hiring him this first year out.
Speaker 7 (18:45):
If you're the Ravens, you can't hire another choker. You
have to just go go to Sean McVay. Ask him
what assistance does he like best? All right, that's our guy.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Let's just ask McVay. What makes you think McVeigh wouldn't
want one of these jobs. I mean, some great games
over the week. I'm serious with McVeigh. There are coaches
who are like, wait a second, Matthew Stafford is thirty
eight years old. I have Stetson Bennett as my backup,
and I have a chance to go coach Josh Allen
(19:13):
A Liltmore Jackson. I'm not saying McVay is going to
do that. Before we break here at Dan Burk's going
to join us. We'll have we CAN observations coming up.
I'll explain those before we get into them in just
a couple of minutes. Here, Frank Calliando, our friend is
going to join us at four o'clock and we have
a national championship game to get to tonight Miami and Indiana.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Kurtzignetti to Buffalo. How about that?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I mean.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
He's staying right there.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Really, he's a college guy.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Marcus Freeman, I'll take him. Yeah, No, would he take
the job though? I know you would take him? Who
wouldn't take it? Before we break here, though, I want
to play the sound of Sean McDermott again. Remember this
is after another terrible, terrible playoff loss, and Sean McDermott
has the feeling that Paul is going to fire him.
(20:02):
And so here is Sean McDermott not sticking up for Buffalo.
Here's Sean McDermott sticking up for himself.
Speaker 8 (20:09):
I'm saying it because I'm standing up for Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Dammit.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
I'm standing up for us because what went on is
not that is not how it should go down. In
my estimation, that that plays. These guys spend three hours
out there playing football, pouring their guts out to not
even say, hey, let's just slow this thing down. That's
that's why I'm.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Bothered standing up for Buffalo.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Is he one of you at the officials?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Let's hear it again, please, just one more time.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
I'm saying it because I'm standing up for Buffalo, Damnit.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I'm standing up for us. Taylor put it on the pall.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Was McDermott standing up for Buffalo or standing up for
himself because he knew he was about to get fired.

How about the Dolphins interviewing the Lions defensive coordinator mikey
A and I can tell you how that goes with
the jets, I mean not good. No, ad Nan Vurka
to join us here in just a second, very excited
to speak to Adnan. We have weeken observations. This was
(21:28):
a segment that I've done for I don't know twenty years,
did them with Dan but and they were called weekend observations.
It started because I'm just writing down notes in the
notes app on my iPhone over the weekend, and it's,
you know, just observations things I'm watching as they're happening.
(21:49):
And Dan caught wind of this that I actually did this,
and then asked me to make it a segment, and
we started doing them every single Monday. We call them
weekend observation, but because I'm no longer there, we call
them we can observations because.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
We have to.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
If I remember correctly from listening to them, it was
handwritten notes initially, not your notes thing, and you would
just write these small, little like phrases and then just
repeat them and you'd be like, yeah, okay, I remember
what I was talking about back then, and then you
just fleshed it out to be you know, the longest
list of hot takes in the history of a segment.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Yes and now Taylor writes them esh spoiler alert and
does a very good job. Adnan Burke is with us
our buddy by the way, eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox. I'm going to give out that number and
not take a single phone call the entire day. I
know it, I know it. It's unfortunate, Adnan. How are you, buddy?
We're working on We're working on it. Ah, just tell
(22:51):
them to call in on a hot lot. I mean,
what are we doing here? Radio has changed? It's the
last time I did it. It's crazy, is he? What'd
you make of Ben Johnson? Before we get to ad
Nan here, Ben Johnson not having.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Well, I gotta be careful that. I want to ask
if I could say it, I don't know if I can.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Stones not having the Stones to go for it on
fourth down, fourth and short.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
He's done it all year. I'm sorry, not going for
the two to win the game.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
After the Caleb Williams amazing pass, a fourteen yard pass
that was forty yards. It's a play that will probably
forget because the Barons ended up losing. But what a play,
what a game, what a player Caleb Williams. But Ben
Johnson when you have that team down. They were rattled,
they were frazzled, and you gave them time to kind
of regroup on the sidelines for overtime as opposed to
(23:46):
going for it for the two and the win in
that spot. For me, if you're gonna go for two
and be the guy that goes for two, then go
for two all the time. And how Ben Johnson didn't
do it in that spot is beyond me.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
It's funny how the thinking changes when it's you know,
two and a half yards to convert a first down
versus two and a half yards to get two points, right, Right, Yes,
it would seem like the latter is the bigger.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Reward and people would do it more often.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Right because that fourth down, very often in a final
drive is the ballgame. Yes, so is the two point conversion. Right,
It's the ballgame. And so when you have that momentum,
I'm with you, but I think it's more disappointing that
it's not just leading up to that game where you
should be thinking yourself. If you're the Chicago Bears, probably
(24:36):
playing with house money. If I get an opportunity to
roll the dice on something, I'm gonna do it. But
then you have, you know, the extended portion of that
drive where you just you have to be thinking about it, Hey,
are we going for two here? And if the predetermined
answer was no, then I'm with you, like, you can't
be that guy who is the you know, the guy
(24:57):
who goes for it all the time and doesn't go
for the win in that spot. If he tells me, hey,
you know what, honestly caught up in the moment, didn't
really have an answer, didn't have a play ready, just
decided to go to overtime, I'd give him sort of
a pass. It's his first year, and as a head
coach in the playoffs, it's his first year. You know,
making that decision in a playoff game would be a wild,
(25:20):
very difficult decision. So that way, i'd give him a pass.
But if he decided beforehand, no chance, I'm going for two,
then I'd blame him.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
In defense of Ben Johnson, the Bears weren't great in
their short yard situations before that time, and you lose
Colson Lovelin, who is probably Caleb Williams number one trusted
option to a concussion. You don't have him for that play.
And it's not like they lost the game because of
that decision. In overtime, they had the ball, they got
(25:49):
to stop, and then all they had to do was
just get in field goal range. And then the Bears
offense just didn't come through that.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
What's Ben Johnson's biggest strength as enough as.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
A head coach, probably aggressiveness.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
It's his offensive play calling, it's his offensive design. Have
the best play that you ever needed in your life
for a two point conversion in your back pocket every
single playoff game, and I.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Would say that circumstances changed. Maybe he said to himself, Hey,
I'm going to go for the tie if we score here.
But when you score on a play like that, the
momentum is in your favor. And you have a coach
who is stun a great coach who is stunned on
the sidelines, and an entire team that is stunned. You
know what you do. You go for two because they're stunned.
You know what you don't do. You don't give that
coach a chance to send a message to his team
(26:33):
and give them the opportunity to regroup before the overtime.
Go for it because you are right Chicago, of all
the teams playing in these playoffs. They are probably playing
with more house money than any other team. Bears fans
are looking forward to the fure. Caleb said it himself
after the game last night. Yeah, I'm disappointed, but I'm
(26:55):
excited about the future. Teams come into the playoffs with
different exptions. Buffalo losing, not good, coach gets fired, Chicago losing.
No one's gonna get fired, no one's gonna get hurt.
Everyone's gonna pick them to come out of the NFC
next year. But the circumstances of the game changed, And
as a coach, even if you say to yourself, I'm
(27:17):
gonna try to tie the game, if the circumstances changed,
you need to change with them. That was a chance
to put the Rams out of the playoffs and put
yourselves into the NFC Championship game. And he didn't do it,
and he's been doing it all season.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
You're saying that the Bears were playing with house money,
And while I do agree to that to an extent,
how did that work out for the Commanders last year?
Because everybody kind of just assumed that the Commanders would
get right back. They have the young quarterback, and now they're.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Do it next year. Okay, he's gotta get over his it.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Look.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Ben Johnson had the opportunity to have one of the
most I we can't think of another phrase here, gangster
seasons for a head coach of all time. Comes in,
makes star out of Caleb Williams, does the shirtless dance
thing in the locker room, does the drive by lafloor
handshake like twice down the stretch of the season, and
(28:10):
then would have made that two point conversion call and
won the game that way.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Yeah, to knock out.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
Probably the favored Rams to win the whole thing, right, Yes,
that if he would have gone on to then win
the Super Bowl in Chicago, it would have been arguably
the greatest coaching season of I mean, definitely the greatest
debut coaching season by anybody, right, I would say, but
one of the greatest coaching seasons ever just in terms
of memorable things that you can say that coach did.
