Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, it's our numb bur one where
the Buffalo Roam The Ben Maler Show is back. If
you missed any of the Fifth Hour podcast over the weekend,
highly recommend, highly recommend you go check out the Fifth
Hour podcast. Myself and Danny g Fresh pods all weekend.
They're not really dated. Well some of it is, but
(00:22):
a lot of it's just just yapping about things that
are going on in our world. So check that out
Fifth Hour Podcast. But here in our number one, how
do you read the Josh Allen Bills losing losing to
the Patriots in the Sunday Night Island game, Stefan Diggs
said afterwards he had a big game for New England.
He said that the Patriots Bills game was one hundred
(00:43):
percent personal. Can you decode what he meant by that? Also,
does this count as a signature win for Drake May's Patriots?
The bar is not that high on that one. We'll
get to that and much more right now. Settle in
for our number one, we're the Buffalo roam into the
(01:12):
losers category. Welcome in the beginning of another week of
the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
We are in the air everywhere on your doorstaff as
we serenade the lunatic fringe coast to coast, border to
order and beyond on the vast and talkably powerful microphones
of fsre ammating live from the board as we monitor
(01:44):
Benny's big board not a list, not a list, a
big board from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios,
as approved by front runner Derek, the Bill's Monster, who
only listens when the Bills win.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
When the Bills, he says, I can't listen. I only
need positivity. I say, no, you need negativity when your
team loses. But this portion of the Ben Male Show on
Fox made possible in part by our friends at ti Iraq.
For over forty years, ty iraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
(02:24):
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation with ferg
Dog and Alf both give a thumbs up to tire
iraq dot com the way tire buying show be. So
our lead this hour from Sun day night. Foot Ball
is the day, and it's still another game on Monday,
(02:46):
but we'll lead off in Western New York where the
last game was played here in a patriotic performance in
AFC East. Slobber Knocker was the set up there. And
if you had the Buffalo Bills going seventeen to zero,
you are a loser. You're losing. Drake May being credited
(03:09):
with leading the Patriots. He did not have a touchdown pass,
but he did matriculate the ball down the field a
couple of times there. Patriots get it done a thirty
seven yard drive late setting up a rookie kicker from Miami.
I'm sure that'll go well when the weather gets bad
in the northeast. Andy Borgallis a fifty two yard field
(03:30):
goal with fifteen seconds left, and it was turnout. The
last the Barties over on the undefeated season for the
Buffalo Bills as they lose twenty three to twenty on
a Sunday night. And so now the NFL, I don't
have any guys are left from the seventy seventy two
Dolphins that went undefeated. But if there's any of them
(03:51):
still living, they seem like a lot of them have
died in recent years. But any of them still left
can crack the champagne there as there will not be
an undefeated team in the NFL. Five weeks into the
season and they're all gone, all gone, all the unbeaten teams.
Stefan Diggs ten catches for one hundred and forty six
yards of the Patriots off to the three and two
(04:13):
start on the season. That is a winning record, my computer,
like Brank tells me after five games, and they win
there the game there in Buffalo and Diggs first game
back there since he was excommunicated from the Bills sent
packing to Houston. Despite we just have this guy that
quit the show named Andy, the comic book guy who
(04:33):
was part of Bill's mafia. And Andy was, oh, no,
Sefon Diggs. Oh he's a model citizen, model teammate. Of course,
we all knew that was bull crap and it's proven
correct as time has gone on here when you talk
about what happened. But for the Patriots, Diggs had a
big day. Remandre Stevenson did not have a backbreaking fumble
in this game. He had a couple of touchdowns on
(04:55):
the ground and also the second one set up by
Stefan Diggs, a thirty two yard catch and run, and
the Patriots win. Drake May twittered seventy three yards passing
the game, but no touchdown throw us but no interceptions,
so you know, turn the ball over and the defense
made some plays. The Buffalo Bill's very generous in this game,
(05:17):
but the better story is in the losing locker room
and Josh Allen not holding back, not biting his tongue.
Here Josh Allen about the Buffalo Bills and the offense,
the performance of the Buffalo Bills. I think we have
that audio. Let's go to the audio tape. Here's Josh
Allen commenting on the performance of the Buffalo Bills offense.
Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
We just played sloppy. I'm not gonna win a football game.
Turning the ball over three times in our red zone,
gave them one in their red zone. That's just bad,
bad football. And we just did not play good tonight.
But again we shouldn't have shouldn't have even been in
it with three turnovers, so that's again, that's just that's
just piss poor offense.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
There you go see piss poor offense for the Buffalo Bills.
Josh Allen. That's a quote, Josh Allen, piss poor offense
by the Buffalo Bills. All right, so let us discuss
the question, how do you read the Josh Allen sound
but you just heard it there, his take on the
Bills losing here at home to the Patriots. So I've
(06:18):
got Purple Hayes, Jim bro and Sinkle, and we will
combine all of these things together, and we are going
to put the biscuit in the basket. Is what We're
going to do. Put the biscuit in the basket. So
a this was a smelling Salts special, a smelling salt
(06:39):
special for the team from Buffalo. They needed a wake
up call. Now, normally you don't need a wake up call.
My experience, when you play an island game at night,
you genuinely do not need a wake up call. This
is not a morning game. This was not a team
traveling from a different time zone to have to play
a game in a odd ount.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Know.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
This was a standard East Coast night game between two
teams that are in the Eastern time zone. And yet
the Buffalo Bills were like sleepwalking at the beginning of
this game. And I guess they thought Patriots are so
bad they don't have to play a full gusto here.
They can sleepwalk divisional home game against the Patriots and
(07:22):
all that stuff and The Bills got what they deserved.
They just got what they deserve. I mean saw the game,
if you heard about it and we saw what happened,
or you're listening to on the radio, whatever, Yeah, they
got a big fat capital L loss, prime time loss.
That's what they deserved. The way they played in this game.
That was a supermarket Steve special is what that was. Meaning,
(07:45):
there's a spill on Aisle seventeen and we need a
mop and a bucket because the Buffalo Bills made a
mess of themselves. They defecated all over Aisle seventeen. It's
a bad job by them. Eleven accepted pennies eleven against
the Buffalo Bills. But wait, there's more Buffalo. What they
(08:06):
did here was another caller, this guy Hayes, Purple Hayes,
we call him from Minnesota, who calls the show every
four or five months and he works at a mortuary
in Minnesota and he picks up bodies and takes care
of them and all that stuff when they meet their demise.
And so for him, it's like the Buffalo Bills they
(08:28):
needed that because they needed a grave digger. They'd already
dug the grave. The problem was not the grave. They
dug their own grave here. They dug the hole. They
jumped in. They wanted to get out, but they left
their shovel up top, and they didn't have a ladder
to get out of the grave. They dug themselves. And
so that was it. Josh Allen headlining the episode of
Disaster Piece Theater in this game for how long do
(08:50):
we hear that? The Bills had that long stretch? They said,
an NFL record for most games without turning the ball over,
making mistakes and all that stuff. So you figure it's
gonna eat out right. All things even out over a
period of time, and so they even out here in
the first half. You had my math is right, I wrote,
I jotted down. I don't know what that is. I
jotted down fumble, jotted down punt, fumble, field goal punt.
(09:15):
That's your game script for the Buffalo Bill. So again
that's fumble punt, fumble, field goal punt. That's it. And
you play with the live hand grenades, and they were
certainly playing with live hand grenades there. You play with
those and then eventually come boom, get some shrapnel. That's
what happens. There were not surprising enough. If you watched
(09:35):
Benny versus De Penny. We had another, to quote Josh Allen,
piss poor weekend on the NFL. But that's one of
the things we did get right was the Patriots plus
the points against the Buffalo Bills there, so we were
not shocked by this performance. Still, to see the Bills
turn the ball over that much, that was surprising. He said, Oh,
they lose the game, but they wouldn't do it because
the turnovers. But they did and the Bills, if you
(09:58):
look at their record, Bill's Mafia is not gonna like me. Oh,
I can't believe there's such a hater because anything that's reality,
anything reality based, people get all upset about. But the
Buffalo Bills have been skating on thin ice for a
while here. Remember that opening game, the Ravens had it
in control and then Derrick Henry gave it away. I said,
(10:18):
I want to win. We're gonna give the win to you,
and he fumbled Fumbou set the Bills up for the
crazy comeback late in the game. Uh, the Dolphins right
there on the fourth core that lowly Miami Dolphins went
into Orchard Part New York and had a shot that
the New Orleans Saints. The Bills could not cover the
(10:39):
points spread against that Saints. That's an embarrassment. So you
were you were playing with some issues here and you
finally got burned with it and eventually the luck runs
out or whatever, if you believe in that kind of things.
But this was the the universal, uh, you know, signed
from above from the heavens, right that the universe giving
(11:01):
them the knock them down A couple of pegs situation
here for the Buffalo Bills. And can't keep showing up
half asleep, generally speaking, half asleep and expect the football
gods to keep bailing you out. And by any way
you slice it any way that you slice it here,
just a flat game. And it's an island game. And
(11:23):
I don't know, I don't think it's like you have
seventeen You supposedly you hear how hard these people work
if they spend all year working on but yet they
still some teams, you know, a couple times a year
you just have a clunker. The Bills have had several clunkers.
They won most of them, but it finally came back
to bite them. And so it's a ce la ve
situation for the Buffalo Bills at this point, such as
(11:43):
life in Buffalo. Now. The good news is, you look
at that division, it's like, well, the Patriots are the
only chance, the only threat lurking in that division is
the Patriots. Like the Patriots are just mediocre, then the
Bills have nothing to worry about. If the Patriots are
better than that, then there's something there. There's absolutely something
all right now turning the page, so we'll stay with
(12:05):
this game. There's some drama o rama going on between
Stefan Diggs, who had a breakout game, is targeted twelve times. Digs,
the former Bill who's now toiling in New England. He
enjoys the pink drank or the pink goo or whatever
that stuff was that they had on the boat there
with Cardi b and having a grand old time there
(12:26):
at the ECHT. But Stefan Diggs twelve targets, ten catches
for one hundred and forty six yards. I'm told that
is good against his old friends, the Bills. I didn't
play in the NFL, but I don't want to offend
Ryan Clark. But I'm told that's good. I'm told that's good.
Then Diggs gave us the money quote after the game.
Stefan Diggs, when asked about his old stomping rounds there
(12:50):
in Western New York, Stefan Diggs on the Patriot Bill's
game said that it was quote one hundred percent personal.
One hundred percent personal. Those quote from Stefan Diggs on
the match up against his former team, the Bills. So
can you decode that particular quote from Stefan Diggs. Of
course we can. We have the ultimate mather of Rosetta Stone.
(13:13):
We can decode all of this stuff. So that response
it's one hundred personal, is on brand. It's obviously on
brand here, classic narcissism by Stefan Diggs. And that's what
it's all about, right, Just obviously it's all about it.
It's never enough just to play well. And it's not
just digs. It's like you just can't go out and
(13:33):
play well. To play well, you have to have motivation, right,
You've got to sprinkle in some drama, little flakes of drama.
You just sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle, sprink, you sprinkle those in
just like that. It's personal. And the thing is great
about this is there are a lot of dumb fans
that think, well, yeah, he's right. It was personal. The
(13:54):
Bills did him dirty. No, no, they did not. That's
that would be incorrect.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Here.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You were the problem, Stefan Digs in Buffalo. We had
said it, everyone knew it, who paid attention to it.
You were the issue there, not the bills. You were
the problem there, and you look at it and you
powdered your way out of Buffalo. You powdered your way
out of the bills. You don't want to be there,
and it was the classic. Now he's acting like it's
(14:21):
the breakup, you know, the cliche of the boyfriend girlfriend
breaks up, the girl dumps the boy and the guy's like,
all right, I'm a gym bro man. I'm gonna post
a bunch of photos from the gym, right Jim Selfie's
captioned living my best life like crap like that. That's
essentially what Stefan Diggs is doing here right now, pretending
he's over it. But he's not over it. He's obviously
not over it. And that's the big You understand how
(14:44):
much the Bills had enough of Stefan Diggs. They kept
around two years longer than they should have. But Stefan Diggs,
if you look at it, when he was there at
the very end in Buffalo, and the Bills publicly leaked
a lot of series to make it like there was
no issue, But there were so many clues along the way.
There were problems there, and you look at it and
(15:06):
it's like the Buffalo Bills. And I went back and
I checked my notes because I was pretty confident I
was right, and I believe I am correct here in
order to get rid of Stefan Digs. At the end
of his time with the Bills, the Buffalo franchise ate
the biggest non quarterback salary cap hit in the history
(15:26):
of the NFL. Now I am a salary cap truther,
but that's still a ton of money that the Buffalo
Bills ate. The Bills ate it. They did not have
barbecue sauce, they did not have honey mustard. They just
ate it. They decided they would rather eat the money.
Manamana eat that money than deal with the sideline hissy
fits from mister Diggs there and the bad body language,
(15:50):
the sulking, the whole routine right, the whole routine there,
and at the end Diggs acted when he was with
the Bills like he was a prisoner in Guantanamo Bay.
The way he was acting there with Josh Allen. You know,
every time Alan wouldn't throw him the ball. It was
like a personal assault against Stefon Diggs and all that stuff.
So I do enjoy the revisionist history like there's something
(16:13):
else that was going on. There's nothing else going on.
It's unbelievable that Steffan Diggs was pouting poudy, poudy, poudy
with Josh Allen at Loggerheads. I ain't playing nice now.
They're not working together. They're former work friends, and you
can play nice and all that stuff. But it wasn't
just Josh Allen. There were issues with the coaching staff.
There were the cryptic text tweets back then, and I'm
(16:36):
all for that. I don't have a problem with that.
Good for talk radio when you send cryptic messages out.
But Buffalo did not do Stefan Diggs dirty. They did not,
and finally called his bluff. They got rid of him.
And so this is like Stefan Diggs doing some therapy.
So I'll sit in the chair and I'll do a
little therapy here. And he needed this game, he convinced himself,
(16:58):
clearly had big stat line. Good for him that he's
still the guy coming off the operation. When he was
in the with Houston, he hurt himself, had had the
surgery of the ACL But deep down, right, you look
around and Stefan Diggs, he knows the Bills don't miss him,
and that's gotta bother. Right, Bills had a good year
(17:19):
essentially the same team they were with him. They're not
a legit championship team in Buffalo in that regard, they're
a fraud, but they're a solid second line contender, right
the Bills. They will get you into the playoffs, they'll
get you win a couple of games in the players,
but ultimately they'll f up, they'll screw something up and
they'll lose. That's what the Bills do. And so Stefan
(17:41):
Diggs got his revenge. Congratulations, he got a little bit
of closure. But they play these teams play each other
twice a year, so there'll be another match up here.
The problem, though, Diggs has is still trying to convince
everyone and even himself that you know, he was the victim,
like because everyone loves victimhood and all that off and
the Bills somehow did him wrong. And of course I
(18:03):
looked at the evidence, and they rescued themselves from Stefon Diggs.
All right, now, last thing and the last word here,
does this count? This Patriots win on Sunday Night and
even game over the Buffalo Bills with a late field
goal under twenty seconds to go. The Patriots get that
late field goal. Does this count as a signature win
(18:27):
for Drake May's Patriots? So I will be Benny Bright's
side to a point, and I will nod my head. Yes,
I'm nodding my head, yes, that this does count as
a signature win. Here's why Drake May had no signituit.
So anything literally, anything against the halfway decent team would
have been a signature wit. So what I'm trying to
say here is, if you look at it, the bar
(18:50):
has been replaced by a sinkhole for the Patriots. There's
no bar to clear. You're just trying to jump over
a sinkhole, is what you're doing. That counts as a
sign at your win in this modern era of the Patriots,
not for the Belichick Brady days, not in that era.
Those guys are long gone. Bill Belichick getting his face
(19:11):
smashed in in college football and Tom Brady by the way.
Is there a worse general manager than Tom Brady what
he put together with the Raiders? Holy crap. But you
can't rip Brady because he's Football Royalty. What a terrible
job tom Brady did. Pete Carroll and Gino Smith more
on that later, Holy crap, that's Tom Brady. He hand
picked the coach, he hand picked the quarterback, and they
(19:33):
blow anyway. So those guys are gone. But like a
house by the side of the road. But you look
at the team, the Patriot, and this does again. The
bar is low. It's a sinkhole. So let's not go nuts.
I'm not going to overreact to this. The Bills were sloppy.
That was a large part of the game. But a
lot of these games are decided because most games are lost,
(19:56):
not one, so that is a factor in this. Eleven
penalties we mentioned that early eleven penalties, a couple of
turnovers as well for the Buffalo Bills in this game,
and the Patriots didn't exactly wow you, it's not like
you whoa, this is like, oh, this is a team
that's going to really contend in the AFC and all
that stuff. No touchdown passes for Drake may In this game. However,
(20:17):
he did average nine yards per pass attempt. There were
a couple of big plays mixed in there, so didn't
turn the ball over and possession of the ball is
nine tenths of victory. So that was a big thing
and you didn't have to watch the usual slop the
Patriots have had. There's the last couple of years, the
Patriot quarterback situation. It's a Rubik's cube, but you're trying
(20:40):
to solve it while you're blindfolded. All right, So this
does count as happy beat days or here again. Happy
days are here again. No more Cam Newton from a
couple of years back throwing medicine balls. You don't have
to pretend like you're interested in dog food Mac Jones.
That's what he was with the Patriots. He was dog
(21:01):
food and Bailey Zappi cosplay Zappi mania. You don't have
to worry about that either. All that off the table
right there, See you later. So that's where we are,
and the Patriots are a winning team. And you know
some of the records, it's how bad they've been. This
is uncharted territory since twenty nineteen. It's how pathetic the
(21:22):
Patriots have been. Here that back to back wins for
the first time since twenty twenty two. That looked like
a Mike Vrabel like what he did in Tennessee, that
type of performance, heavy, underdog on the road, grind it
out type of game. And that's what the Titans did
back before things got really nasty there in Tennessee at
the end. But you tighten up the AFC East race
(21:44):
and really again it's a two team race. The Jets
have already been eliminated, the Dolphins have already been eliminated,
and it's really just the Patriots or the only hope
to unseat the Buffalo Bills in that division and the
rebooted pay is it something? Is it going to continue? Well,
we'll we'll see here. But the post dynasty, the post
(22:06):
dynasty Wasteland all right, that they were competent. It's just
being a little bit better than average. Is where you
get a little giddy. It is the Ben Mahler Show.

some calls here. Femi, the number one uber each driver
in Minnesota, says man, what's the over under on the
number of games before Stefan Diggs starts pouting on the sidelines. Yeah,
(25:20):
it will happen. There will be a blow up. You
know it's gonna happen, Femi. It hasn't happened yet with
the Patriots, although they did have that little rhubarb where
he was on the boat and people were making a
big deal about that. So it's going to happen, and
I'm here for it. I have a daily talk show,
so I can't wait for the tinder box to explode.
(25:41):
And it's going to happen. But the problem the Patriots
have is they desperately need Stefon d He's he's looked
good the last couple of games. Whether that can continue
coming off the injury at the age he's at, we'll see.
But Annie and Lino Lakes Minnesota, it says a spot
on on the Stefan Diggs monologue. He'll put the same crap.
(26:02):
He'll pull the same crap with the Patriots when he
doesn't feel like he's getting the ball enough, getting enough attention.
We've seen the situation before, vikings and bills and bad
behavior gets rewarded. That's right. A fird dog rites in
says Danny g should be ashamed of his Raiders. Geno
Smith blows and everyone knows it. What a joke of
(26:23):
a team. Well, Danny's not here, he's probably sleeping, so
let let him know. All right, my god, what do
you want me to do? KC. Car Haller is back,
he says, when you really want to show them that
you're living your best life, he says, post pictures from
the Clippers practice facility. Why would I go to Clippers practice?
(26:49):
And most of the regular season is practice anyway, The
NBA is essentially a three month season.
Speaker 8 (26:55):
There are no.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Stupid questions, just stupid people. No, seriously, like the NBA,
like we don't even really talking. We used to talk
about during the regular season. We'll talk about when it's
some kind of drama or something like that, but day
to day it's it's un it's just un horrific, unwatchable.
Unfortunately that's the players, the players we wounded, which which
sucks because it used to be good content for the show.
But it's not anymore. You know, day to day in
(27:17):
the NBA is just not enough buzz there and so
practice forget about that. That guy, remember Gunner, the guy
that quit the show. He disappeared and then but he's
back at the Walmart in Minnesota. He's posting messages. Let's
go to the phones. Andre is in the Commonwealth. The
rare and appropriate call from Andre and his dog willis Hello, Andre, Welcome,
(27:41):
what is going on?
Speaker 9 (27:42):
Ben?
Speaker 10 (27:43):
Good to be with you. Certainly would never think of
quitting the show. But the school year is back in
in session, so I have to, you know, get in.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
You have to pick your spots. You have to pick
your spots. I understand, most definitely.
Speaker 10 (27:58):
But the membership of the man the militia is certainly.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
And how's the school year going? Everything good? Are the
kids acting appropriately? And the job? Everything's going okay.
Speaker 10 (28:07):
Everything's going well. Man. You know, we're into the year
proper right, you know, September you're kind of going through
you know, the quote unquote honeymoon phase, you know, and
all positivity and enthusiasm and full of wonder, which should
be the beginning of the year. And now we're into
the journey proper kind of one foot in front of
the other. Got Columbus date coming up, you know, Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Into the grind, you're into the grind, the grind.
Speaker 10 (28:32):
Into the grind, the grind. Checkpoint, the checkpoint.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
You know.
Speaker 10 (28:35):
The Patriots are certainly grinding away and got a signature
win tonight. You have to give them credit. I thought
the game could have gone either way, right down to
the wire. You know, kicker makes that field goal, they
edge out the Bills. But all of those folks that
hopefully watched Benny versus the Penny as they should, what
was eleven and a half point spread there? Ben?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Oh no, that was only that. The line when we
taped the show is like eight and a half. So
it was still a big spread though. The Patriots getting
eight and a half in a divisional game.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
Okay, so it came back. It came back down, but
the Patriots easily cover. And again here in the common
bottom line is this. It might have to mark Mike Brabil.
He has to ship moving in the right direction, you know,
night and day difference, just in terms of the dysfunction
and in the culture from years past. Could this team
break through and make the playoffs with the collapse in
(29:30):
calamity befalling the Miami Dolphins. Right, there's an opportunity there,
Joe Burrow going down, you know, So things are happening
where there's a window for the Patriots to have a
you know, a successful season and not just in terms
of rebuilding, but maybe even getting into the second season
and making some noise there. I'm off or in terms
of the Bills, I don't know what's going on today. Right,
it goes they got holosed a little bit. There were
(29:51):
some calls in that game, so they lose a game.
But you know, I don't know, they could have gotten
some calls and went ahead and got the w Buffalo
and this game can't go on the I think the
Patriots just scrap, flat out out and maneuver with them.
My bottom line point is, I don't think it's changing
anything in the power rankings. Bills are still the favorites
in the AFC, Eagles are still the favorites in the NFC.
Other teams resurgent, you know, give the Detroit Lions in
(30:13):
there and some other folks, but a good win. Folks
are failed themselves. You know it's gonna be good, you know,
listen to Hey tomorrow morning, people are gonna be tryumph
and talking about a.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Super Bowl run.
Speaker 10 (30:22):
But it's a good win. Ways to go here in
the Commonwealth, But I just think things are are it's
not groundbreaking, then great to be with you. In terms
of my check in, I will certainly continue in the mallad.
Speaker 8 (30:35):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Get some sleep, all right, there's our friend Endre working
the dreaded dash, but still calling in to check in
from time to time. And at this moment, is it
true the number one seed in the American Football Conferences
you're Indianapolis Colts. Yes, it is the Colts and the
Bills both at four and one, But I just did
(30:57):
Colts are four and zero in the conference. Buffalo is
three and one after they lose to the New England Patriots.
So even though they're both for and one, Indianapolis would
be the number one seed if the season ended today,
the NFL would also lose a lot of money. Buffalo
at four and one would be the number two seed.
And yeah, you're New England Patriots are the last team
in the AFC playoff card after five weeks of the season.
(31:21):
The Patriots, at three and two are the number seven
The number seven seed and the American Football Conference. And
then on the NFC side, the forty Niners are your
number one seed even though they're tied with Philadelphia and
Tampa Bay. The Niners four to oh in the conference,
so they would have the top seed Philadelphia two, Tampa three,
(31:43):
and the last team in the playoffs now would be
the Minnesota Vikings at three and two. The way too early,
look at your NFL standing. Let's go do Danny de Vito,
the one and only Dana DeVito. Hello, Danny, welcome, America's
favorite trash man there Austin. Hello, Danny.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Wel mister, Now, what's going on? Happy new week here? Yeah,
it's a good week for the patience fans over here
in Boston. We finally have football back in a couple
of years, the first time in a couple of years.
We had a pathetic team last couple of years to bet.
Speaker 9 (32:18):
And now if you look at the schedule and now
I would.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Pencil this team in as going for the playoffs. He
should be probably going on the playoffs. If you look ahead,
as a couple of calls teams you have to play
the Saints.
Speaker 9 (32:29):
Uh you know?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Yeah? The problem. The problem is not to reign on
your parade. But I'm about to reign on your parade.
When I say not to reign on your parade, I'm
about to run on your preay. The Patriots are still
capable of losing to the Saints and the Titans and
the Browns. They can lose all three of those games.
They are capable of losing all three of them. It's
not like they're a dominant team. That's the problem. You
(32:51):
can lose any of those. They lost. The Raiders lost
a Geno Smith at home.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
No, Ben, you know, we one of that league. You know,
there's some strength things that go on every year. We
see that.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
We see that.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
I mean now, I think now if the Patios lay.
Speaker 9 (33:07):
The Raiders, I think they would beat them, you know, easily.
You know, the Raiders are terrible. They are bad, and
the Dolphins are bad too. And I called up the uh,
the Boston Show here and I basically.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
Was, you know, it's Josh Allen there. I was kind
of trashing the Bills. Look at I love Josh Allen.
I think he's very talented. But Ben, I think you
know this too, He's gonna They're gonna win twelve or
thirteen games. They're gonna get in the playoffs and it's
gonna loose.
Speaker 10 (33:35):
That's what they're gonna do.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
That's what he does. And they had a real problem
that they hung the phone off on me. But I
know what it's gonna do. I know what he's gonna
do and what that team's gonna do. They're gonna probably
play Kansas City again. She's not gonna beat him again
or whoever. But the Bills are not gonna win it
all because of I don't know what, because are they, James.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Well, someone's gonna win it all, and someone's gonna get
to the Super Bowl from the AFC. And right now
you look around the AFC and you're like indian and Indianapolis,
come on, Aaron Rodgers and Pittsburgh. The Chargers. They don't
look very good. The Chargers right now, Jacksonville, I mean,
there's one of those. Somebody's gonna end up. Maybe it's Denver.
Denver beat Philadelphia. The Broncos are three and two now.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Somebody, Yeah, the wide open man history says the they're
gonna get in there, but they're gonna lose.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
You know, Well, yeah that happens. And so I remember
sitting in this very chair ripping Peyton Manning because he
choked in every big game and then eventually they won,
although some of those not because of him, because he's
still sucked and they ended up winning anyway in those
big games. All Right, I gotta go there, Thank you
the right daddy to beat there. Checking in early giving
(34:46):
us the low down, and I mentioned this is the
signature win for Drake may Of course there is no
other signitary. He played seven games against teams over five
hundred and was oh and seven, so he had not
ever beaten a good team. So not that he had
many wins anyway, so this is the only win that
(35:07):
he's gotten against a good team.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Time.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Now for the who am I game? This is where
I pretend to be somebody else, as we call it
the who am I? Game? So who in a loss?
Because that's what Cincinnati does. Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase
was the first player with three plus tackles and one
hundred plus receiving yards in the same game. Since me again,
Lions ended up KOing. The Bengals almost got a back
(35:31):
door cover in that game. Almost doesn't count. I don't
get the cash tickets when you get almost. But here's
the who Am I? Game? Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase
was the first player with three plus tackles and one
hundred plus yards receiving in the same game. Since me,
who am I? That is the question the answer. We'll
get to it. We'll do it next.

time now for the play of the day. It's not
(37:02):
every day that you see a grand slam in playoff baseball.
But if you were hanging out in Toronto on Sunday,
you saw that the Yankees in the Blue Jays and
Laddie honoring his daddy, take a listen. Last time they
saw warn he wasn't throwing nearly this hard? Righty's two
to one swinging a deep drive?
Speaker 8 (37:23):
What field?
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Flat ball is soaring out of here?
Speaker 8 (37:27):
Land Slam, pitch yourself all you want.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
You will not wake up from this dream.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
Right now.
Speaker 8 (37:34):
The Blue Jays leap nine nothing on a Vladimir Carrero
Junior Gland slam.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Yeah, Blue Jays guessing that's not Yankees d Blue Jay's
radio there with the call. That is the ti Iraq
play of the night. Toronto led this game? Who was it?
It was?
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (37:54):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Nine? Eleven twelve nothing? Twelve nothing? Yankees suck? Oh it's
so good anyway. That is the tyrack player today. For
over forty years, Tyrak has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive. Ship
Fast and free back by free Road has a protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tier rack
(38:15):
dot com. The way tire buying should be. Now to
the who am I? Game? Where we pretend to be
somebody else? So the Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase became
the first player with three plus tackles and one hundred
plus yards receiving in the same game since me. He
did it in a loss. But that is the question.
What is the answer? Unless he does? Anyone know the answer?
(38:36):
Ricky Sanders from PAULI d That's an old Ronald Reagan joke.
Where's Ricky Sanders? Rob the Goatman, says the late Great
Dick Felt. That's a former NFL player for the Boston Patriots.
Who else you have? My Marlin's Man? King Eddie from
alf the Alien opint? Look what you did there? How
dare you? Queen Latifa from Bobby in Florida? Who else
(38:59):
do you have? Have page down? We'll go with Mike
Singletary guests by Scrooge and Paige Down. We can't read
that booger from courtesy Flusher tany in Sturts guessed by
mister nice guy. A lot of Mark Sanchez references. I
guess he hit a bad weekend. H the delivery driver
(39:20):
had a worst weekend. That's from Donkey Sausage. Who else?
We have? Doug Baldwin from Shane in des moin Femi's
going with blind Scott a Reek in Minnesota, says Vikings
receiver Sammy White, former Viking receiver Duckman. Guessed by Nate
Hammer aka the Pat Kill Pat Guy. I don't know
Hayes in Minnesota from Robbie the Mariner fan. That's his answer.
(39:43):
Cheeseburger Eddie from Doug in South Korea, Monkey Biz, Doug,
do you do you have an answer? LORRAINA Yeah, I'm
thinking it's Channing Tatum. Okay, that's a reasonable answer. Sure
a good blocker. Incorrect though the correct answer A man
that loves the baltim More Ravens marching band. Steve Smith.
Steve Smith back in twenty eleven for the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
How about that
Here we go. Welcome, it's our numb bur one where
the Buffalo Roam The Ben Maler Show is back. If
you missed any of the Fifth Hour podcast over the weekend,
highly recommend, highly recommend you go check out the Fifth
Hour podcast. Myself and Danny g Fresh pods all weekend.
They're not really dated. Well some of it is, but
(00:22):
a lot of it's just just yapping about things that
are going on in our world. So check that out
Fifth Hour Podcast. But here in our number one, how
do you read the Josh Allen Bills losing losing to
the Patriots in the Sunday Night Island game, Stefan Diggs
said afterwards he had a big game for New England.
He said that the Patriots Bills game was one hundred
(00:43):
percent personal. Can you decode what he meant by that? Also,
does this count as a signature win for Drake May's Patriots?
The bar is not that high on that one. We'll
get to that and much more right now. Settle in
for our number one, we're the Buffalo roam into the
(01:12):
losers category. Welcome in the beginning of another week of
the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
We are in the air everywhere on your doorstaff as
we serenade the lunatic fringe coast to coast, border to
order and beyond on the vast and talkably powerful microphones
of fsre ammating live from the board as we monitor
(01:44):
Benny's big board not a list, not a list, a
big board from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios,
as approved by front runner Derek, the Bill's Monster, who
only listens when the Bills win.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
When the Bills, he says, I can't listen. I only
need positivity. I say, no, you need negativity when your
team loses. But this portion of the Ben Male Show on
Fox made possible in part by our friends at ti Iraq.
For over forty years, ty iraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
(02:24):
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation with ferg
Dog and Alf both give a thumbs up to tire
iraq dot com the way tire buying show be. So
our lead this hour from Sun day night. Foot Ball
is the day, and it's still another game on Monday,
(02:46):
but we'll lead off in Western New York where the
last game was played here in a patriotic performance in
AFC East. Slobber Knocker was the set up there. And
if you had the Buffalo Bills going seventeen to zero,
you are a loser. You're losing. Drake May being credited
(03:09):
with leading the Patriots. He did not have a touchdown pass,
but he did matriculate the ball down the field a
couple of times there. Patriots get it done a thirty
seven yard drive late setting up a rookie kicker from Miami.
I'm sure that'll go well when the weather gets bad
in the northeast. Andy Borgallis a fifty two yard field
(03:30):
goal with fifteen seconds left, and it was turnout. The
last the Barties over on the undefeated season for the
Buffalo Bills as they lose twenty three to twenty on
a Sunday night. And so now the NFL, I don't
have any guys are left from the seventy seventy two
Dolphins that went undefeated. But if there's any of them
(03:51):
still living, they seem like a lot of them have
died in recent years. But any of them still left
can crack the champagne there as there will not be
an undefeated team in the NFL. Five weeks into the
season and they're all gone, all gone, all the unbeaten teams.
Stefan Diggs ten catches for one hundred and forty six
yards of the Patriots off to the three and two
(04:13):
start on the season. That is a winning record, my computer,
like Brank tells me after five games, and they win
there the game there in Buffalo and Diggs first game
back there since he was excommunicated from the Bills sent
packing to Houston. Despite we just have this guy that
quit the show named Andy, the comic book guy who
(04:33):
was part of Bill's mafia. And Andy was, oh, no,
Sefon Diggs. Oh he's a model citizen, model teammate. Of course,
we all knew that was bull crap and it's proven
correct as time has gone on here when you talk
about what happened. But for the Patriots, Diggs had a
big day. Remandre Stevenson did not have a backbreaking fumble
in this game. He had a couple of touchdowns on
(04:55):
the ground and also the second one set up by
Stefan Diggs, a thirty two yard catch and run, and
the Patriots win. Drake May twittered seventy three yards passing
the game, but no touchdown throw us but no interceptions,
so you know, turn the ball over and the defense
made some plays. The Buffalo Bill's very generous in this game,
(05:17):
but the better story is in the losing locker room
and Josh Allen not holding back, not biting his tongue.
Here Josh Allen about the Buffalo Bills and the offense,
the performance of the Buffalo Bills. I think we have
that audio. Let's go to the audio tape. Here's Josh
Allen commenting on the performance of the Buffalo Bills offense.
Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
We just played sloppy. I'm not gonna win a football game.
Turning the ball over three times in our red zone,
gave them one in their red zone. That's just bad,
bad football. And we just did not play good tonight.
But again we shouldn't have shouldn't have even been in
it with three turnovers, so that's again, that's just that's
just piss poor offense.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
There you go see piss poor offense for the Buffalo Bills.
Josh Allen. That's a quote, Josh Allen, piss poor offense
by the Buffalo Bills. All right, so let us discuss
the question, how do you read the Josh Allen sound
but you just heard it there, his take on the
Bills losing here at home to the Patriots. So I've
(06:18):
got Purple Hayes, Jim bro and Sinkle, and we will
combine all of these things together, and we are going
to put the biscuit in the basket. Is what We're
going to do. Put the biscuit in the basket. So
a this was a smelling Salts special, a smelling salt
(06:39):
special for the team from Buffalo. They needed a wake
up call. Now, normally you don't need a wake up call.
My experience, when you play an island game at night,
you genuinely do not need a wake up call. This
is not a morning game. This was not a team
traveling from a different time zone to have to play
a game in a odd ount.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Know.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
This was a standard East Coast night game between two
teams that are in the Eastern time zone. And yet
the Buffalo Bills were like sleepwalking at the beginning of
this game. And I guess they thought Patriots are so
bad they don't have to play a full gusto here.
They can sleepwalk divisional home game against the Patriots and
(07:22):
all that stuff and The Bills got what they deserved.
They just got what they deserve. I mean saw the game,
if you heard about it and we saw what happened,
or you're listening to on the radio, whatever, Yeah, they
got a big fat capital L loss, prime time loss.
That's what they deserved. The way they played in this game.
That was a supermarket Steve special is what that was. Meaning,
(07:45):
there's a spill on Aisle seventeen and we need a
mop and a bucket because the Buffalo Bills made a
mess of themselves. They defecated all over Aisle seventeen. It's
a bad job by them. Eleven accepted pennies eleven against
the Buffalo Bills. But wait, there's more Buffalo. What they
(08:06):
did here was another caller, this guy Hayes, Purple Hayes,
we call him from Minnesota, who calls the show every
four or five months and he works at a mortuary
in Minnesota and he picks up bodies and takes care
of them and all that stuff when they meet their demise.
And so for him, it's like the Buffalo Bills they
(08:28):
needed that because they needed a grave digger. They'd already
dug the grave. The problem was not the grave. They
dug their own grave here. They dug the hole. They
jumped in. They wanted to get out, but they left
their shovel up top, and they didn't have a ladder
to get out of the grave. They dug themselves. And
so that was it. Josh Allen headlining the episode of
Disaster Piece Theater in this game for how long do
(08:50):
we hear that? The Bills had that long stretch? They said,
an NFL record for most games without turning the ball over,
making mistakes and all that stuff. So you figure it's
gonna eat out right. All things even out over a
period of time, and so they even out here in
the first half. You had my math is right, I wrote,
I jotted down. I don't know what that is. I
jotted down fumble, jotted down punt, fumble, field goal punt.
(09:15):
That's your game script for the Buffalo Bill. So again
that's fumble punt, fumble, field goal punt. That's it. And
you play with the live hand grenades, and they were
certainly playing with live hand grenades there. You play with
those and then eventually come boom, get some shrapnel. That's
what happens. There were not surprising enough. If you watched
(09:35):
Benny versus De Penny. We had another, to quote Josh Allen,
piss poor weekend on the NFL. But that's one of
the things we did get right was the Patriots plus
the points against the Buffalo Bills there, so we were
not shocked by this performance. Still, to see the Bills
turn the ball over that much, that was surprising. He said, Oh,
they lose the game, but they wouldn't do it because
the turnovers. But they did and the Bills, if you
(09:58):
look at their record, Bill's Mafia is not gonna like me. Oh,
I can't believe there's such a hater because anything that's reality,
anything reality based, people get all upset about. But the
Buffalo Bills have been skating on thin ice for a
while here. Remember that opening game, the Ravens had it
in control and then Derrick Henry gave it away. I said,
(10:18):
I want to win. We're gonna give the win to you,
and he fumbled Fumbou set the Bills up for the
crazy comeback late in the game. Uh, the Dolphins right
there on the fourth core that lowly Miami Dolphins went
into Orchard Part New York and had a shot that
the New Orleans Saints. The Bills could not cover the
(10:39):
points spread against that Saints. That's an embarrassment. So you
were you were playing with some issues here and you
finally got burned with it and eventually the luck runs
out or whatever, if you believe in that kind of things.
But this was the the universal, uh, you know, signed
from above from the heavens, right that the universe giving
(11:01):
them the knock them down A couple of pegs situation
here for the Buffalo Bills. And can't keep showing up
half asleep, generally speaking, half asleep and expect the football
gods to keep bailing you out. And by any way
you slice it any way that you slice it here,
just a flat game. And it's an island game. And
(11:23):
I don't know, I don't think it's like you have
seventeen You supposedly you hear how hard these people work
if they spend all year working on but yet they
still some teams, you know, a couple times a year
you just have a clunker. The Bills have had several clunkers.
They won most of them, but it finally came back
to bite them. And so it's a ce la ve
situation for the Buffalo Bills at this point, such as
(11:43):
life in Buffalo. Now. The good news is, you look
at that division, it's like, well, the Patriots are the
only chance, the only threat lurking in that division is
the Patriots. Like the Patriots are just mediocre, then the
Bills have nothing to worry about. If the Patriots are
better than that, then there's something there. There's absolutely something
all right now turning the page, so we'll stay with
(12:05):
this game. There's some drama o rama going on between
Stefan Diggs, who had a breakout game, is targeted twelve times. Digs,
the former Bill who's now toiling in New England. He
enjoys the pink drank or the pink goo or whatever
that stuff was that they had on the boat there
with Cardi b and having a grand old time there
(12:26):
at the ECHT. But Stefan Diggs twelve targets, ten catches
for one hundred and forty six yards. I'm told that
is good against his old friends, the Bills. I didn't
play in the NFL, but I don't want to offend
Ryan Clark. But I'm told that's good. I'm told that's good.
Then Diggs gave us the money quote after the game.
Stefan Diggs, when asked about his old stomping rounds there
(12:50):
in Western New York, Stefan Diggs on the Patriot Bill's
game said that it was quote one hundred percent personal.
One hundred percent personal. Those quote from Stefan Diggs on
the match up against his former team, the Bills. So
can you decode that particular quote from Stefan Diggs. Of
course we can. We have the ultimate mather of Rosetta Stone.
(13:13):
We can decode all of this stuff. So that response
it's one hundred personal, is on brand. It's obviously on
brand here, classic narcissism by Stefan Diggs. And that's what
it's all about, right, Just obviously it's all about it.
It's never enough just to play well. And it's not
just digs. It's like you just can't go out and
(13:33):
play well. To play well, you have to have motivation, right,
You've got to sprinkle in some drama, little flakes of drama.
You just sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle, sprink, you sprinkle those in
just like that. It's personal. And the thing is great
about this is there are a lot of dumb fans
that think, well, yeah, he's right. It was personal. The
(13:54):
Bills did him dirty. No, no, they did not. That's
that would be incorrect.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Here.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You were the problem, Stefan Digs in Buffalo. We had
said it, everyone knew it, who paid attention to it.
You were the issue there, not the bills. You were
the problem there, and you look at it and you
powdered your way out of Buffalo. You powdered your way
out of the bills. You don't want to be there,
and it was the classic. Now he's acting like it's
(14:21):
the breakup, you know, the cliche of the boyfriend girlfriend
breaks up, the girl dumps the boy and the guy's like,
all right, I'm a gym bro man. I'm gonna post
a bunch of photos from the gym, right Jim Selfie's
captioned living my best life like crap like that. That's
essentially what Stefan Diggs is doing here right now, pretending
he's over it. But he's not over it. He's obviously
not over it. And that's the big You understand how
(14:44):
much the Bills had enough of Stefan Diggs. They kept
around two years longer than they should have. But Stefan Diggs,
if you look at it, when he was there at
the very end in Buffalo, and the Bills publicly leaked
a lot of series to make it like there was
no issue, But there were so many clues along the way.
There were problems there, and you look at it and
(15:06):
it's like the Buffalo Bills. And I went back and
I checked my notes because I was pretty confident I
was right, and I believe I am correct here in
order to get rid of Stefan Digs. At the end
of his time with the Bills, the Buffalo franchise ate
the biggest non quarterback salary cap hit in the history
(15:26):
of the NFL. Now I am a salary cap truther,
but that's still a ton of money that the Buffalo
Bills ate. The Bills ate it. They did not have
barbecue sauce, they did not have honey mustard. They just
ate it. They decided they would rather eat the money.
Manamana eat that money than deal with the sideline hissy
fits from mister Diggs there and the bad body language,
(15:50):
the sulking, the whole routine right, the whole routine there,
and at the end Diggs acted when he was with
the Bills like he was a prisoner in Guantanamo Bay.
The way he was acting there with Josh Allen. You know,
every time Alan wouldn't throw him the ball. It was
like a personal assault against Stefon Diggs and all that stuff.
So I do enjoy the revisionist history like there's something
(16:13):
else that was going on. There's nothing else going on.
It's unbelievable that Steffan Diggs was pouting poudy, poudy, poudy
with Josh Allen at Loggerheads. I ain't playing nice now.
They're not working together. They're former work friends, and you
can play nice and all that stuff. But it wasn't
just Josh Allen. There were issues with the coaching staff.
There were the cryptic text tweets back then, and I'm
(16:36):
all for that. I don't have a problem with that.
Good for talk radio when you send cryptic messages out.
But Buffalo did not do Stefan Diggs dirty. They did not,
and finally called his bluff. They got rid of him.
And so this is like Stefan Diggs doing some therapy.
So I'll sit in the chair and I'll do a
little therapy here. And he needed this game, he convinced himself,
(16:58):
clearly had big stat line. Good for him that he's
still the guy coming off the operation. When he was
in the with Houston, he hurt himself, had had the
surgery of the ACL But deep down, right, you look
around and Stefan Diggs, he knows the Bills don't miss him,
and that's gotta bother. Right, Bills had a good year
(17:19):
essentially the same team they were with him. They're not
a legit championship team in Buffalo in that regard, they're
a fraud, but they're a solid second line contender, right
the Bills. They will get you into the playoffs, they'll
get you win a couple of games in the players,
but ultimately they'll f up, they'll screw something up and
they'll lose. That's what the Bills do. And so Stefan
(17:41):
Diggs got his revenge. Congratulations, he got a little bit
of closure. But they play these teams play each other
twice a year, so there'll be another match up here.
The problem, though, Diggs has is still trying to convince
everyone and even himself that you know, he was the victim,
like because everyone loves victimhood and all that off and
the Bills somehow did him wrong. And of course I
(18:03):
looked at the evidence, and they rescued themselves from Stefon Diggs.
All right, now, last thing and the last word here,
does this count? This Patriots win on Sunday Night and
even game over the Buffalo Bills with a late field
goal under twenty seconds to go. The Patriots get that
late field goal. Does this count as a signature win
(18:27):
for Drake May's Patriots? So I will be Benny Bright's
side to a point, and I will nod my head. Yes,
I'm nodding my head, yes, that this does count as
a signature win. Here's why Drake May had no signituit.
So anything literally, anything against the halfway decent team would
have been a signature wit. So what I'm trying to
say here is, if you look at it, the bar
(18:50):
has been replaced by a sinkhole for the Patriots. There's
no bar to clear. You're just trying to jump over
a sinkhole, is what you're doing. That counts as a
sign at your win in this modern era of the Patriots,
not for the Belichick Brady days, not in that era.
Those guys are long gone. Bill Belichick getting his face
(19:11):
smashed in in college football and Tom Brady by the way.
Is there a worse general manager than Tom Brady what
he put together with the Raiders? Holy crap. But you
can't rip Brady because he's Football Royalty. What a terrible
job tom Brady did. Pete Carroll and Gino Smith more
on that later, Holy crap, that's Tom Brady. He hand
picked the coach, he hand picked the quarterback, and they
(19:33):
blow anyway. So those guys are gone. But like a
house by the side of the road. But you look
at the team, the Patriot, and this does again. The
bar is low. It's a sinkhole. So let's not go nuts.
I'm not going to overreact to this. The Bills were sloppy.
That was a large part of the game. But a
lot of these games are decided because most games are lost,
(19:56):
not one, so that is a factor in this. Eleven
penalties we mentioned that early eleven penalties, a couple of
turnovers as well for the Buffalo Bills in this game,
and the Patriots didn't exactly wow you, it's not like
you whoa, this is like, oh, this is a team
that's going to really contend in the AFC and all
that stuff. No touchdown passes for Drake may In this game. However,
(20:17):
he did average nine yards per pass attempt. There were
a couple of big plays mixed in there, so didn't
turn the ball over and possession of the ball is
nine tenths of victory. So that was a big thing
and you didn't have to watch the usual slop the
Patriots have had. There's the last couple of years, the
Patriot quarterback situation. It's a Rubik's cube, but you're trying
(20:40):
to solve it while you're blindfolded. All right, So this
does count as happy beat days or here again. Happy
days are here again. No more Cam Newton from a
couple of years back throwing medicine balls. You don't have
to pretend like you're interested in dog food Mac Jones.
That's what he was with the Patriots. He was dog
(21:01):
food and Bailey Zappi cosplay Zappi mania. You don't have
to worry about that either. All that off the table
right there, See you later. So that's where we are,
and the Patriots are a winning team. And you know
some of the records, it's how bad they've been. This
is uncharted territory since twenty nineteen. It's how pathetic the
(21:22):
Patriots have been. Here that back to back wins for
the first time since twenty twenty two. That looked like
a Mike Vrabel like what he did in Tennessee, that
type of performance, heavy, underdog on the road, grind it
out type of game. And that's what the Titans did
back before things got really nasty there in Tennessee at
the end. But you tighten up the AFC East race
(21:44):
and really again it's a two team race. The Jets
have already been eliminated, the Dolphins have already been eliminated,
and it's really just the Patriots or the only hope
to unseat the Buffalo Bills in that division and the
rebooted pay is it something? Is it going to continue? Well,
we'll we'll see here. But the post dynasty, the post
(22:06):
dynasty Wasteland all right, that they were competent. It's just
being a little bit better than average. Is where you
get a little giddy. It is the Ben Mahler Show.

(24:55):
against you in the court of sports radio so please
act accordingly. We'll get back to it and we'll take
some calls here. Femi, the number one uber each driver
in Minnesota, says man, what's the over under on the
number of games before Stefan Diggs starts pouting on the sidelines. Yeah,
(25:20):
it will happen. There will be a blow up. You
know it's gonna happen, Femi. It hasn't happened yet with
the Patriots, although they did have that little rhubarb where
he was on the boat and people were making a
big deal about that. So it's going to happen, and
I'm here for it. I have a daily talk show,
so I can't wait for the tinder box to explode.
(25:41):
And it's going to happen. But the problem the Patriots
have is they desperately need Stefon d He's he's looked
good the last couple of games. Whether that can continue
coming off the injury at the age he's at, we'll see.
But Annie and Lino Lakes Minnesota, it says a spot
on on the Stefan Diggs monologue. He'll put the same crap.
(26:02):
He'll pull the same crap with the Patriots when he
doesn't feel like he's getting the ball enough, getting enough attention.
We've seen the situation before, vikings and bills and bad
behavior gets rewarded. That's right. A fird dog rites in
says Danny g should be ashamed of his Raiders. Geno
Smith blows and everyone knows it. What a joke of
(26:23):
a team. Well, Danny's not here, he's probably sleeping, so
let let him know. All right, my god, what do
you want me to do? KC. Car Haller is back,
he says, when you really want to show them that
you're living your best life, he says, post pictures from
the Clippers practice facility. Why would I go to Clippers practice?
(26:49):
And most of the regular season is practice anyway, The
NBA is essentially a three month season.
Speaker 8 (26:55):
There are no.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Stupid questions, just stupid people. No, seriously, like the NBA,
like we don't even really talking. We used to talk
about during the regular season. We'll talk about when it's
some kind of drama or something like that, but day
to day it's it's un it's just un horrific, unwatchable.
Unfortunately that's the players, the players we wounded, which which
sucks because it used to be good content for the show.
But it's not anymore. You know, day to day in
(27:17):
the NBA is just not enough buzz there and so
practice forget about that. That guy, remember Gunner, the guy
that quit the show. He disappeared and then but he's
back at the Walmart in Minnesota. He's posting messages. Let's
go to the phones. Andre is in the Commonwealth. The
rare and appropriate call from Andre and his dog willis Hello, Andre, Welcome,
(27:41):
what is going on?
Speaker 9 (27:42):
Ben?
Speaker 10 (27:43):
Good to be with you. Certainly would never think of
quitting the show. But the school year is back in
in session, so I have to, you know, get in.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
You have to pick your spots. You have to pick
your spots. I understand, most definitely.
Speaker 10 (27:58):
But the membership of the man the militia is certainly.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
And how's the school year going? Everything good? Are the
kids acting appropriately? And the job? Everything's going okay.
Speaker 10 (28:07):
Everything's going well. Man. You know, we're into the year
proper right, you know, September you're kind of going through
you know, the quote unquote honeymoon phase, you know, and
all positivity and enthusiasm and full of wonder, which should
be the beginning of the year. And now we're into
the journey proper kind of one foot in front of
the other. Got Columbus date coming up, you know, Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Into the grind, you're into the grind, the grind.
Speaker 10 (28:32):
Into the grind, the grind. Checkpoint, the checkpoint.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
You know.
Speaker 10 (28:35):
The Patriots are certainly grinding away and got a signature
win tonight. You have to give them credit. I thought
the game could have gone either way, right down to
the wire. You know, kicker makes that field goal, they
edge out the Bills. But all of those folks that
hopefully watched Benny versus the Penny as they should, what
was eleven and a half point spread there? Ben?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Oh no, that was only that. The line when we
taped the show is like eight and a half. So
it was still a big spread though. The Patriots getting
eight and a half in a divisional game.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
Okay, so it came back. It came back down, but
the Patriots easily cover. And again here in the common
bottom line is this. It might have to mark Mike Brabil.
He has to ship moving in the right direction, you know,
night and day difference, just in terms of the dysfunction
and in the culture from years past. Could this team
break through and make the playoffs with the collapse in
(29:30):
calamity befalling the Miami Dolphins. Right, there's an opportunity there,
Joe Burrow going down, you know, So things are happening
where there's a window for the Patriots to have a
you know, a successful season and not just in terms
of rebuilding, but maybe even getting into the second season
and making some noise there. I'm off or in terms
of the Bills, I don't know what's going on today. Right,
it goes they got holosed a little bit. There were
(29:51):
some calls in that game, so they lose a game.
But you know, I don't know, they could have gotten
some calls and went ahead and got the w Buffalo
and this game can't go on the I think the
Patriots just scrap, flat out out and maneuver with them.
My bottom line point is, I don't think it's changing
anything in the power rankings. Bills are still the favorites
in the AFC, Eagles are still the favorites in the NFC.
Other teams resurgent, you know, give the Detroit Lions in
(30:13):
there and some other folks, but a good win. Folks
are failed themselves. You know it's gonna be good, you know,
listen to Hey tomorrow morning, people are gonna be tryumph
and talking about a.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Super Bowl run.
Speaker 10 (30:22):
But it's a good win. Ways to go here in
the Commonwealth, But I just think things are are it's
not groundbreaking, then great to be with you. In terms
of my check in, I will certainly continue in the mallad.
Speaker 8 (30:35):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Get some sleep, all right, there's our friend Endre working
the dreaded dash, but still calling in to check in
from time to time. And at this moment, is it
true the number one seed in the American Football Conferences
you're Indianapolis Colts. Yes, it is the Colts and the
Bills both at four and one, But I just did
(30:57):
Colts are four and zero in the conference. Buffalo is
three and one after they lose to the New England Patriots.
So even though they're both for and one, Indianapolis would
be the number one seed if the season ended today,
the NFL would also lose a lot of money. Buffalo
at four and one would be the number two seed.
And yeah, you're New England Patriots are the last team
in the AFC playoff card after five weeks of the season.
(31:21):
The Patriots, at three and two are the number seven
The number seven seed and the American Football Conference. And
then on the NFC side, the forty Niners are your
number one seed even though they're tied with Philadelphia and
Tampa Bay. The Niners four to oh in the conference,
so they would have the top seed Philadelphia two, Tampa three,
(31:43):
and the last team in the playoffs now would be
the Minnesota Vikings at three and two. The way too early,
look at your NFL standing. Let's go do Danny de Vito,
the one and only Dana DeVito. Hello, Danny, welcome, America's
favorite trash man there Austin. Hello, Danny.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Wel mister, Now, what's going on? Happy new week here? Yeah,
it's a good week for the patience fans over here
in Boston. We finally have football back in a couple
of years, the first time in a couple of years.
We had a pathetic team last couple of years to bet.
Speaker 9 (32:18):
And now if you look at the schedule and now
I would.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Pencil this team in as going for the playoffs. He
should be probably going on the playoffs. If you look ahead,
as a couple of calls teams you have to play
the Saints.
Speaker 9 (32:29):
Uh you know?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Yeah? The problem. The problem is not to reign on
your parade. But I'm about to reign on your parade.
When I say not to reign on your parade, I'm
about to run on your preay. The Patriots are still
capable of losing to the Saints and the Titans and
the Browns. They can lose all three of those games.
They are capable of losing all three of them. It's
not like they're a dominant team. That's the problem. You
(32:51):
can lose any of those. They lost. The Raiders lost
a Geno Smith at home.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
No, Ben, you know, we one of that league. You know,
there's some strength things that go on every year. We
see that.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
We see that.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
I mean now, I think now if the Patios lay.
Speaker 9 (33:07):
The Raiders, I think they would beat them, you know, easily.
You know, the Raiders are terrible. They are bad, and
the Dolphins are bad too. And I called up the uh,
the Boston Show here and I basically.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
Was, you know, it's Josh Allen there. I was kind
of trashing the Bills. Look at I love Josh Allen.
I think he's very talented. But Ben, I think you
know this too, He's gonna They're gonna win twelve or
thirteen games. They're gonna get in the playoffs and it's
gonna loose.
Speaker 10 (33:35):
That's what they're gonna do.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
That's what he does. And they had a real problem
that they hung the phone off on me. But I
know what it's gonna do. I know what he's gonna
do and what that team's gonna do. They're gonna probably
play Kansas City again. She's not gonna beat him again
or whoever. But the Bills are not gonna win it
all because of I don't know what, because are they, James.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Well, someone's gonna win it all, and someone's gonna get
to the Super Bowl from the AFC. And right now
you look around the AFC and you're like indian and Indianapolis,
come on, Aaron Rodgers and Pittsburgh. The Chargers. They don't
look very good. The Chargers right now, Jacksonville, I mean,
there's one of those. Somebody's gonna end up. Maybe it's Denver.
Denver beat Philadelphia. The Broncos are three and two now.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Somebody, Yeah, the wide open man history says the they're
gonna get in there, but they're gonna lose.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
You know, Well, yeah that happens. And so I remember
sitting in this very chair ripping Peyton Manning because he
choked in every big game and then eventually they won,
although some of those not because of him, because he's
still sucked and they ended up winning anyway in those
big games. All Right, I gotta go there, Thank you
the right daddy to beat there. Checking in early giving
(34:46):
us the low down, and I mentioned this is the
signature win for Drake may Of course there is no
other signitary. He played seven games against teams over five
hundred and was oh and seven, so he had not
ever beaten a good team. So not that he had
many wins anyway, so this is the only win that
(35:07):
he's gotten against a good team.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Time.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Now for the who am I game? This is where
I pretend to be somebody else, as we call it
the who am I? Game? So who in a loss?
Because that's what Cincinnati does. Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase
was the first player with three plus tackles and one
hundred plus receiving yards in the same game. Since me again,
Lions ended up KOing. The Bengals almost got a back
(35:31):
door cover in that game. Almost doesn't count. I don't
get the cash tickets when you get almost. But here's
the who Am I? Game? Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase
was the first player with three plus tackles and one
hundred plus yards receiving in the same game. Since me,
who am I? That is the question the answer. We'll
get to it. We'll do it next.
Speaker 5 (35:51):

time now for the play of the day. It's not
(37:02):
every day that you see a grand slam in playoff baseball.
But if you were hanging out in Toronto on Sunday,
you saw that the Yankees in the Blue Jays and
Laddie honoring his daddy, take a listen. Last time they
saw warn he wasn't throwing nearly this hard? Righty's two
to one swinging a deep drive?
Speaker 8 (37:23):
What field?
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Flat ball is soaring out of here?
Speaker 8 (37:27):
Land Slam, pitch yourself all you want.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
You will not wake up from this dream.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
Right now.
Speaker 8 (37:34):
The Blue Jays leap nine nothing on a Vladimir Carrero
Junior Gland slam.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Yeah, Blue Jays guessing that's not Yankees d Blue Jay's
radio there with the call. That is the ti Iraq
play of the night. Toronto led this game? Who was it?
It was?
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (37:54):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Nine? Eleven twelve nothing? Twelve nothing? Yankees suck? Oh it's
so good anyway. That is the tyrack player today. For
over forty years, Tyrak has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive. Ship
Fast and free back by free Road has a protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tier rack
(38:15):
dot com. The way tire buying should be. Now to
the who am I? Game? Where we pretend to be
somebody else? So the Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase became
the first player with three plus tackles and one hundred
plus yards receiving in the same game since me. He
did it in a loss. But that is the question.
What is the answer? Unless he does? Anyone know the answer?
(38:36):
Ricky Sanders from PAULI d That's an old Ronald Reagan joke.
Where's Ricky Sanders? Rob the Goatman, says the late Great
Dick Felt. That's a former NFL player for the Boston Patriots.
Who else you have? My Marlin's Man? King Eddie from
alf the Alien opint? Look what you did there? How
dare you? Queen Latifa from Bobby in Florida? Who else
(38:59):
do you have? Have page down? We'll go with Mike
Singletary guests by Scrooge and Paige Down. We can't read
that booger from courtesy Flusher tany in Sturts guessed by
mister nice guy. A lot of Mark Sanchez references. I
guess he hit a bad weekend. H the delivery driver
(39:20):
had a worst weekend. That's from Donkey Sausage. Who else?
We have? Doug Baldwin from Shane in des moin Femi's
going with blind Scott a Reek in Minnesota, says Vikings
receiver Sammy White, former Viking receiver Duckman. Guessed by Nate
Hammer aka the Pat Kill Pat Guy. I don't know
Hayes in Minnesota from Robbie the Mariner fan. That's his answer.
(39:43):
Cheeseburger Eddie from Doug in South Korea, Monkey Biz, Doug,
do you do you have an answer? LORRAINA Yeah, I'm
thinking it's Channing Tatum. Okay, that's a reasonable answer. Sure
a good blocker. Incorrect though the correct answer A man
that loves the baltim More Ravens marching band. Steve Smith.
Steve Smith back in twenty eleven for the Carolina Panthers.
