00:00We're alike in a lot of ways. This is not one of them.
00:02You might rather have done what you did today than this.
00:06It's not even fantasy related.
00:08Is there math involved in what you did?
00:10Almost.
00:10Okay, yeah, then definitely I would have rather done what I did.
00:12I had the thought, how many games in Bill's history are Scorigamis?
00:20How about that?
00:21And then, there's no easy way to find out.
00:23The only way to find out is to look up literally every game score in the history of the NFL
00:32and see which ones only have one and then which ones of those are Bill's games.
00:37That's what I did.
00:39Didn't take as long as your thing.
00:40Not only would I rather have done what I did.
00:44If you told me I had to do what you did, I think I would just empty my pockets and
00:54walk into the lake.
00:57Bulldog, listen, this is your boss.
00:59I'm walking, I'm underwater, that's it, I'm dead.
01:01Mike is trapped under something heavy.
01:03I need you to do one thing today.
01:06Look up nflscorigami.com and how many singles are Bill's games.
01:10The number is 18, by the way.
01:12I double counted.
01:14How does that stack up around the rest of the league, Mike?
01:16I didn't do the rest of the league.
01:18How dare you?
01:19That was your job.
01:21I didn't do the Titans.
01:24But I found 18 games active.
01:29Right?
01:29Because if somebody else comes along and plays a game that ends 38-38.
01:33Oh, right.
01:33Then that Bill's game is off the list.
01:35It gets taken off the list.
01:36Okay, I see.
01:37It could go up, too.
01:38I mean, if you win 70-2 or lose 70-2, you're going on the list.
01:44That's a new one.
01:45But there are 18 games in Bill's history.
01:50There's no segue.
01:51There's 18 games in Bill's history that the final score is the only such final score in the history of
01:58the league.
02:02I wonder if that's a lot.
02:04I do, too.
02:05I mean, they go back to 1960.
02:08What was happening was I started from the top.
02:12If you have ever been on that website, nflscorigami.com or .org, whichever it is.
02:17I don't.
02:17I've never been there because I work with you.
02:19Well, okay.
02:20I mean, I don't take every week off.
02:22I do not mean that as condescending at all.
02:26I go from the top.
02:28So, how many games where one team was shut out were score-agami means there's only been one such final
02:36score in the history of the league.
02:38There was one game that ended, I think, 72-41.
02:43Washington, New York Giants.
02:45That's it.
02:45That's the only 72-41 game that's ever been played.
02:49There are 18 Bill's games that are this, unique by the final score in the history of the league.
02:55So, I go from all the shutouts to all the – I mean, there is a way where you could
02:59finish an NFL game with one point.
03:01I don't think it's ever happened, but there is a way to do that.
03:04We have talked about this, I think.
03:05It's like a two-point safety and reverse.
03:09There's a way to get one point.
03:11That's never been the case with the Bill's, if anybody.
03:13And then the twos and the threes and the fours.
03:16The Bills have three games in which they scored five points that are unique scores in NFL history.
03:26Is the – well.
03:28You know one of them right off.
03:29The famous Tampa –
03:30When you lost the money.
03:31The famous Tampa – okay.
03:33Wow.
03:34Wait, what was that?
03:35The year you had the 14-team parlay that came down to Bill's Chiefs.
03:40Bill's Chiefs, yeah.
03:4138-5.
03:42That was 38-5?
03:43Yes.
03:43That's such a great score.
03:4485.
03:45No, you got the wrong – that's the wrong year, I think.
03:49I don't think that –
03:49Oh, that was 1993.
03:50Yeah, yeah, wrong year.
03:51What was that score?
03:52Like 31-0 or something like that?
03:5331-0 or 31-6 or something.
03:55Okay.
03:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:58Is 38-5.
03:59Yeah.
03:59On a Sunday night in Kansas City.
04:01Yeah, we're together for 38-5.
04:02Yeah, this thing with the bet predates our relationship by 20 years.
04:06You would know.
04:0720 years.
04:07It's your money.
04:08You would know.
04:0838-5.
04:09Yeah.
04:10You were going to say Tampa.
04:1238-5.
04:12Tampa, 10-5.
04:1310-5.
04:14Right, in 88.
04:1588.
04:16Yeah.
04:16Very good.
04:16That 38-5 game, I remember, it's so funny the things –
04:21The celebration.
04:22Nate Clements.
04:23Nate Clements.
04:24They're getting – I mean, just – it's – well, it's 38-5.
04:28I don't know what the score is when it happens, but it's a game that feels like it's going
04:31to end 38-5.
04:33Like, the whole time, they're just getting clobbered.
04:35Don't you love it?
04:36Don't you love it?
04:37And sometime – at some point in time, when the Bills are losing by 21 or something,
04:40there's like an overthrown, incomplete pass, and Nate Clements is doing the whole, like,
04:45no, not in my house.
04:47I was like, dude, you are super talented.
04:50I kind of like your swagger.
04:53But what a loser.
04:54What are you doing with, like, no, not today?
04:58What?
04:59Hey, he's a Buckeye.
05:00Watch out.
05:00I got my Buckeye's visor on today.
05:02You're getting destroyed here.
05:02Careful there.
05:04God.
05:04No, that's true, though.
05:05I agree with you on that.
05:06Oh.
05:06Never do that.
05:07Never do it, ever.
05:08I remember that play, and I can't remember stuff from last year.
05:12Like, I –
05:13That's normal.
05:13It just stands out so much to me.
05:15Isn't that normal?
05:16I hope so.
05:18Yeah, I hope so.
05:19So, I could rip off 80s, 90s champions like nothing, but last 10 years, I don't know.
05:27Didn't Kansas City win a couple?
05:28I don't know.
05:29Maybe.
05:29This might be horribly embarrassing.
05:32I can't do it.
05:32The morning show today had spent some time on, like, their version of the ESPYs, basically.
05:38Like, that was maybe during the All-Star break, probably, so last week, one day, like,
05:44the actual ESPYs happened.
05:45So, Joe –
05:46Who knew?
05:46Jeremy was also Joe, your nephew Joe, and my son Owen.
05:51Wow.
05:52Anyway, they spent some time on that, and one of the – they put up polls for each of the
05:57categories they had, and it was, like, play of the year candidates.
06:00And one of the plays of the year that they were asking for listeners to vote on was a play
06:09I do not remember at all from the Bills-Jaguars playoff game.
06:13Ooh.
06:14It was a long – I think it said long – Allen to Cook's long pass against Jacksonville.
06:21And I was, like – I almost went to the play-by-play of the game to, like, try to
06:26remember.
06:27I did – in the Twitter search engine – well, like, just whatever.
06:31It was Twitter.
06:32I just asked, like, Cook's Allen long pass, and, of course, the Denver play comes up.
06:37I tried with Jaguars.
06:39I couldn't find it, and then I gave up because I had to go to the store and buy not
06:42the right
06:43amount of topsoil.
06:44Not even close.
06:44Not even close.
06:45Like, egregiously bad miss.
06:47Anyway, I can't remember a big play, a play that they're talking about as one of the plays
06:53of the year.
06:54Well, you know what?
06:55And I don't remember it, but I got Nate Clements in 19 – or 2003 saying, like, hey, not today.
07:03Weird.
07:03Not today.
07:04Not today.
07:05Sit down, son.
07:07That was incomplete.
07:10Well, I think it's a little bit life, and I also think it's a little bit –
07:17where we're at with the Bills.
07:19I wouldn't completely beat yourself up for this lack of being able to remember a play
07:26from the Jacksonville game.
07:28I'm the same.
07:28I have no idea what you're talking about.
07:29I watched it, too.
07:32I have no idea what that is.
07:33But I'm thinking, like, well, so what was the play of the year?
07:38I don't know.
07:41Can you think of any particular play from last year that would qualify as a candidate?
07:51I don't know if I could.
07:53I mean, I think – and I think it's, again, part – this is what happens when you get older,
08:01and it's just like it sort of runs together, and earlier memories are more indelible.
08:08I also think it's the fact that the Bills are now in an existence
08:18where it's just kind of like all about the playoffs, although that was a playoff game.
08:22It was a wild card game that they won for the sixth year in a row.
08:28When I think of the Jacksonville game, there's one play that comes to mind,
08:31Lawrence going down early.
08:33That's it.
08:34How it ended is easy to remember for me, Travis White, interception.
08:37That I remember.
08:39You got me on that.
08:40And I might even say that maybe that's a play of the year candidate.
08:44This catch would have been 36 yards, and it's not a touchdown.
08:48So now what I want to do is circle back to analyze the morning show.
08:53I'm in.
08:53How is that on the list of plays of the year?
08:56What else is on the list?
08:57Did he tip it to himself six times, eluding the defender or something?
09:02I used to do that in the yard.
09:03Of course, we all did.
09:04I did it in my living room with a tiny little football.
09:07I would tap it up and roll around.
09:08That's how you could avoid being tackled.
09:10My parents must have been so worried about me from a very early age.
09:15So I'm going to forgive myself for not remembering this play
09:19because maybe it's pretty nondescript.
09:21I don't know how it ended up on this list.
09:24Is there even like an Allen play?
09:26I mean, you've got the one against San Francisco that's two years ago.
09:30That's two years ago, right.
09:30You've got jumping over guys, catching passes, different things.
09:34The Pittsburgh one where he pretends to slide and then just keeps running.
09:38Is there even an Allen play from last year?
09:40I don't know.
09:41I feel like two plays that come immediately to mind are both Christian Benford plays.
09:46Pittsburgh?
09:47Pittsburgh and Cincinnati.
09:48What's Cincinnati?
09:49Cincinnati is a – he's blitzing.
09:52He jumps up.
09:53He swung the whole game.
09:54He bats the ball.
09:56Where was that?
09:56I think – no, he didn't even bat it.
09:57I think he just caught it.
09:58Burrow tried to get it over him.
10:00He caught it and took off.
10:01I like that guy.
10:02That started – I think that started their comeback in that game.
10:06It just was a big swing in the game.
10:08And the Pittsburgh play, obviously, they were losing.
10:10And then they were never trailing again after he made that play.
10:13Right at the beginning of the third quarter.
10:14Yeah, that might be the – to me, those are the two plays from last year that stand out.
10:18And it does mean that we do maybe to an extent take Allen a little bit for granted.
10:23That I don't have a play from last – because I'm sure he did ridiculous things.
10:28He always does.
10:29But the two plays I can think of are both defensive plays.
10:32I think this is – I mean, this might be interesting for anybody listening to comment on.
10:38Like, when I think of – I'm looking at last year's pro football reference page by the scores.
10:44So, I went to week five.
10:45I went to New England, the home game, the Sunday night game against New England with my son.
10:50And what do you remember from that game?
10:53Diggs.
10:53Diggs.
10:53And Drake May.
10:54Drake May rolling to his right and throwing towards the Bills' sideline.
10:59Diggs down, like, at the Bills' 10 or 12-yard line.
11:01Yes.
11:02I can see the – there's a Curtis Samuel touchdown in that game.
11:05It was kind of, like, right in front of us around the left end.
11:08It looked super easy.
11:10But, I mean, they lost, so I guess this is appropriate.
11:13But I think of certain, like, New England highlights from that game.
11:17And I heard the winning field goal in my car.
11:20We left, you know, early – we left mid-fourth quarter or something like that.
11:25So, I have to cop to that.
11:26But Houston, Atlanta, Miami, all road games where I wasn't at work, and I can remember things going wrong for
11:38them in those games.
11:40Again, I think that's a little bit on me.
11:43Certainly, I'm not that way about all of Bills' history.
11:47I don't only remember the bad plays, but it's also kind of like the Bills are, if you will, only
11:57news when they lose anymore.
12:00Like, it's only sort of memorable in the context of going for a Super Bowl when they get beat.
12:09And so, Denver, that's Marvin Mims, comes to mind, you know, certain Denver plays that I remember.
12:17And then the interception, of course, where they only have – that's the last time they have the ball in
12:22that game.
12:23But it's not how they scored.
12:26Like, it's Allen turnovers that I can – if I had to really get pressed on what do you remember
12:32from that game, it's things that didn't go their way.
12:35So, I don't know if I should be upset about that or be embarrassed about that, but it's just how
12:41it is.
12:43Cincinnati, I've got nothing.
12:4539-34, I've got nothing.
12:48You're telling me about this Benford thing.
12:50Okay, yeah, that's right.
12:52But they scored 39 points and I missed it.
12:55I mean, I don't know.
12:56Ask me about 1989.
12:58When you're going to go –
13:00Cincinnati, they won 24-7.
13:01I can take the rest of the day off.
13:02This section, it's already been demolished.
13:05And I remember watching Chris Collinsworth on the sideline and Boomer Esiason and the fans chaining,
13:09Norman, Norman.
13:11Like, that's fresh.
13:13That's 37 years ago.
13:15What good does that do?
13:17Anyway, score a gami.
13:20They've lost three games where they scored five points that are unique scores in NFL history.
13:26The third is the game in Indianapolis when Allen had just been injured as a rookie and Derek Anderson played.
13:32And they lost 37-5.
13:35A game that I remember for Warren Sharp coming on the show at the 11-day power play earlier in
13:41that season saying,
13:43the best bet of the league – the best bet in the league this year for a single game is
13:47Indianapolis minus three against Buffalo in week eight.
13:50Whatever that was, they won 37-5.
13:52So hopefully he did well.
13:54Okay, well, I don't know where we go from here, but we'll go somewhere.
13:57803-0550 for your calls.
13:59I had a Sabres topic.
14:00Bulldog doesn't even know.
14:02I can't wait.
14:03He's going into mulch bags and corigami.
14:06Not mulch, it's topsoil.
14:07Oh, sorry.
14:07That's different?
14:09Yeah, it's dirt, not like wood chips.
14:13Okay.
14:13Yeah.
14:13That's –
14:14You plant things in the soil.
14:16I wasn't kidding.
14:20What do we have?
14:20Connor Rogers, assuming he's not listening and has already canceled.
14:24That'll be at four today and Sal at five.
14:27Mike Schoep and the Bulldog here, 803-0550 to join us.
