00:00Like, these Patriot games last year,
00:03do you realize they played 11 backup quarterbacks last season?
00:06Uh-huh.
00:07And then they just got hot, and, like, the thing about a young team
00:10that hasn't done it before, they don't know any better.
00:12So they ride that Uncle Mo, the momentum,
00:15and then you play a bunch of – I mean, they played C.J. Stroud in the playoffs,
00:19and then Bo Nix was hurt, so they got Jared Stidham in the AFC Championship.
00:24Like, everything went their way last year.
00:25And they had the Chargers, too.
00:26Like, yeah, it was the easiest Super Bowl path ever.
00:31Yeah, and they were not that good.
00:33I remember reading a story on Fox that, you know,
00:35they were power rating all the teams coming into the season,
00:38and somebody wrote – one of my colleagues wrote that they were the sixth best team
00:42in the league, and I was like, I want some of those drugs, man,
00:45because, like, that's not – they're not the sixth best team in the league.
00:48Look, the books are going to need the Patriots to cover.
00:51It's a big number, but Buffalo also, like –
00:55you know, Buffalo's season kind of went off the rails last year
00:58when they lost to the Patriots, so you know they've been waiting for this one.
01:01Yeah, for sure.
01:02Like, I've been saying all week, Sam, they just –
01:04and I know it's football, so I know how ridiculous stuff like this is
01:07to really say and mean it, but you can't lose to this team in this spot.
01:12They are wounded.
01:13The quarterback and the coach, there's all kinds of stuff swirling about that.
01:18They're down.
01:20Maybe their two best defensive players, Barmore and Gonzalez, are going to miss this game.
01:25And May – here are the numbers on May going back to those playoffs last year.
01:30So it's seven games now, three this year in the four playoff games.
01:34He's got seven touchdowns and ten picks.
01:36He's been sacked 30 times, and he's fumbled nine times.
01:40He lost five of those fumbles.
01:42So we're talking about 15 turnovers in seven games against, you know, good teams,
01:48which, of course, the Bills, I think, objectively classify as at least a good team.
01:53So you've got to – you've just got to – this team cannot get well against you on Sunday.
