00:00stadium how how do i put this doesn't really it's not that serious just like the schedule
00:05i doubt that you've memorized it yet i definitely have not no but what are your thoughts about it
00:11the fact the little trivia point about that they play all five nfc opponents at night is
00:18interesting and that's three road games vikings like we talked about there rams and packers as
00:24well detroit and chicago at home detroit the home opener it'll be fun i mean a lot of these
00:31that's a good division that's maybe the best division in the league right the nfc north
00:36might you say that um yeah i mean they they definitely don't have a supposed bad team
00:45unless you think minnesota is going to just spin their wheels nfc north versus nfc west
00:52see that's minnesota is not arizona i don't think um i feel like arizona is in the mud right now
01:00uh is brissette want a new contract now by the way like that's happening okay i mean imagine
01:08imagine caring about the cardinals the way we care about the bills for just a moment and living in a
01:15world where jacoby brissette is your incumbent incoming starter and it reminds me of the time
01:22dwayne rolerson was mad about what he was being paid like dude we can lose with you we can lose
01:29what are we doing here anyway anyway uh like so they they really weigh down the other three teams
01:36in that division to me in any given year are all capable of winning the super bowl seattle just did
01:42the rams did pretty recently the niners have been there pretty recently so to me those teams are
01:48all still in windows where they could win it and the cardinals are not and i think the nfc north
01:54is the
01:54same but the vikings are just a little they're more like a 500 ish looking team to me than a
02:02team that
02:02could be among the worst in the league which is what i guess i'm thinking about arizona yeah me too
02:07and i
02:08think the the three teams above minnesota are close enough to the three teams atop yeah right
02:13even though the lions are off a down year whatever but yeah i mean i still think they'll be you
02:18know
02:18they're they're a serious football team the chiefs game on thanksgiving night every year that game
02:24with kansas city is maybe the game of the year in the nfl on paper and then a couple of
02:30times well i don't
02:32know i mean maybe it's lived up to that a time or two certainly in the playoffs it has a
02:36couple of
02:36times is that the game of the year on the bill schedule does it have to be um new england
02:46twice
02:46at denver a playoff rematch chargers here houston in week one it has to be the chief ravens again it
02:54has to be the chiefs does yeah yeah i think so baltimore is maybe close and new england you know
03:01deserves a seat at the table uh but i think it's still it's still the chiefs uh even though you
03:07know
03:07off the down year with the mahomes injury i still feel like it's one of the games of the year
03:12in the
03:13league and if i feel that way then like it's the best game on the bill schedule it's the biggest
03:19game
03:19on the bill schedule i think that's a different thing isn't it yeah i think so but it's there's not
03:24i i don't have another game that i would say it's one it's a game of the year on the
03:30bills i don't
03:31think even baltimore has quite the i don't know and plus it's thanksgiving night i don't know like i
03:39just it's that's a pretty that's a pretty juicy spot and it's those two quarterbacks and those two
03:45teams um i to me that it is it i don't want to say easily but comfortably is that the
03:53same thing
03:53uh the their their best their best game from a standpoint of like marquee value right yeah
04:01interest not more casual interest football hardcore interest like it's the chiefs and the bills let's
04:09can't miss it's like the patriots and the colts yes 20 years ago that's right i think so the fact
04:15that it is on a thanksgiving night you know in that slot helps it what doesn't help it is that
04:22kansas
04:23city went 6 and 11 like these are not division winners from last year maybe they're both favored
04:28to be again i know the bills are i would guess the chiefs are but i'm not sure because chargers
04:34are
04:34good denver's good it's i think it's a conversation at least i think that rivalry has transcended
04:41and the holiday point like i just said you said it too all of that is it makes it a
04:47game you certainly
04:48circle but there i still i mean i listed them there are still at least a half a dozen other
04:55games
04:55that might end up being just as big it's tough to say to parse this a little bit too fine
05:03it's tough
05:04to say the nfc games are bigger because they're the nfc right denver is the next or one of the
05:11new
05:12england games but like denver you've got you know the bills lost there in the divisional round they
05:18won the division denver did they they were the one seed right or yes yeah right um and with that
05:25game
05:25being on christmas if both teams have comparable years to last year if they both are in line to hit
05:33their overs let's say that could be a game for playoff season it could be a game for the number
05:37one seed it could be for two or three whatever it just it could really matter and it's you know
05:43a month later than that kansas city game so the standings will be you know it's week it's week 16
05:49the standings will be more you know it'll be more obvious what's at stake than when they play kansas
05:56city i think i'd say uh so that gives it a look at it i think um well new england
06:03new england is two
06:04times of course week four and then week 13 neither is a night game this is where you have to
06:13start
06:13i think for the bills chances forget holidays and rivalries and stuff not that there isn't a rivalry
06:22with the patriots but that that's i think where you have to start is you know we we've been spending
06:28the last three or four summers talking about the importance of getting the top seed in the conference
06:35and then last year what were they the five like the the patriots won the division and you of course
06:43do not get a home game in the first round you're not likely to get a home game at all
06:47if you don't do
06:48that so that's where you have to start and again like going pretty hard at this maybe too hard
06:57that game with new england that was in buffalo last year was maybe week five the sunday night
07:02that the bills lost digs went off yeah yes and were they were they not four and oh going into
07:08that
07:08game and the loss to new england that sounds right you want me to check i can check pretty quickly
07:13but
07:14i think that is right upon the result of that game it was a race like it was on with
07:19new england and
07:20we knew how easy their schedule was it's absolutely right four and oh they lost and they lost and then
07:24lost the next week in atlanta too yes and that ended up being the horse race like yeah the bills
07:30never caught up even with beating them in november or december december yeah they like the patriots
07:36couldn't lose right and you never got there so none of this is to say like what will happen
07:44with with the patriots i mean yeah in my mind almost definitely they take a step back but you have
07:51to
07:51start there yep for you know what's the path to the super bowl with that in mind uh you know
07:57we
07:57never really did it's just funny that we're starting with the schedule because you're right i haven't
08:01memorized it i haven't even done what i've been doing for 20 minutes or 15 minutes whenever we started
08:07which is just sort of looking at it scrolling through it mentioning this game or that game i we
08:12haven't done any of that in here and you know i i you know i like sports but i don't
08:18just stare at the
08:18bill's schedule when i'm at home on my couch um well that's how we're different but looking at
08:23how the games fall that second new england game being as early as it is i i might i might
08:31have
08:31preferred swapping that game with the second miami game give me new england in week 17 and you know
08:38i've got a i've got a stake here it it hurts the second new england game that it's in week
08:4413 to me
08:44right after kansas city sort of like how i mentioned with denver like denver is close
08:50enough to the end you you know maybe you have a better idea what the stakes are what am i
08:55playing
08:55for i'm playing new england in week 13 and i i've got you know six more games five more games
09:01after
09:01that i don't i don't like that i wish it was later i wish it were more near the end
09:06if you really want
09:08to sink your teeth into this that's week 13 and they'll have both had their bye so say
09:17the bills after that game have split with the patriots and they're both eight and four
09:22so you're tied with a split and five games to go the patriot you you both have it tough
09:28bills go at green bay bears at denver miami and the jets the patriots miami's on the road too by
09:36the
09:36way at miami and the jets right the patriots have home to the vikings the thursday night after the
09:41bills game on this late sunday at kansas city at the jets denver and miami so their final three
09:49opponents are the same just not in the same order denver miami jets jets denver miami
09:57and you know minnesota and kansas city are on the bill schedule as well just earlier
10:01well i'm getting excited for more schedule talk
10:09that i may force upon you uh in and out today no forcing necessary okay good i like i i
10:16really mean
