00:00All right, so what's Sean McDermott saying heading into this game against Denver in the below?

00:06Yep, another year for Sean McDermott, Josh Allen, and the Buffalo Bills. And once again, the quest is to finally

00:14get to a Super Bowl. Here is McDermott as they start another playoff run. Hey, we can't think about the past.

00:21We can only think about now. Every year is different. I know why you're saying that, Si. Every year is different

00:27and every team takes on its own identity. So I would say yes and no. I'd say yes because it is in our history

00:35of not getting to accomplish our ultimate goal year-to-year.

00:40But at the end of the day, we've had a lot of success and it's a hard thing to win in this league.

00:44And you're looking at an AFC that is loaded with high-level teams.

00:48And it starts right from the start with a week long for us of a really good football team, the Denver Broncos here.

00:56Yeah, I'll agree with him. Like, you know, I know it's not the same thing, but to me, it's a lot like, you know,

01:04you're in the NCAA tournament and you're trying to make it to the Final Four. It's really hard.

01:08I'm in this basketball that I play in these violent leagues that are all over the country.

01:14They're everywhere. All these ex-NBA players are in it.

01:16There's tremendous talent in that league and I play in it and here in New York and, you know,

01:23Mafia played with me. He won four championships. He knows how hard it is. He went to four others and lost.

01:28I've gone to 10 and lost. I went to 10 title games and lost. I went to 10.

01:35I went to four of them undefeated and lost. And it's always the same thing when it's over.

01:40You talk about how hard it is to actually get it done. Like, you know, I've won 12 championships,

01:48but it was hard as hell to get it done. It's hard to win the first game, the quarter, the semi,

01:53and the final. It's brutal. And I know how he feels. It's written all over his face. He's like,

01:59it is so hard to win in this league. They get there every year. They're right on the doorstep

02:04and they don't get it done. And then people crucify him and crucify them. But the people

02:10that are doing the crucifixions don't understand how hard it is to actually get it done.

02:16There's only one left standing in sports. Shut up. There's only one winner every year.

02:24Only one team can win. The Bills, of course, they need to finally get over that hurdle

02:29and get themselves to a Super Bowl. Here's Sean Payton on the other side.

02:34Bo Nix, rookie quarterback, making his first playoffs start. Payton not concerned about that.

02:39Kids played plenty of big games in his life. A rookie quarterback starting his first NFL game.

02:45Is it too? His first playoff game. A big step. And then what makes you think?

02:52Yeah, listen, he's played in bigger games. I mean, he's played in a lot of big games.

02:59And honestly, last week for him, for many guys, it was like a playoff game.

03:08So he's seasoned and he's been in big moments. And you know what? He's going to play in bigger

03:14games. I thought that hoodie he was wearing was terrific. Yeah, if we could get that in

03:24like another team, that would be fine with me. But yeah, they usually outfit those to

03:31every team. Like every team gets the same gear, just their logo slapped on it there.

03:35So we might have to find one of those. In the Bills and Steeler ones, it'll be okay.

03:40Still eight and a half and 47 and a half for the Bills and the Broncos on Sunday afternoon.

03:46First game of three on the middle day. I think Buffalo wins this game. It boils down to the

03:53number. I think it's going to be a great game. I think Denver's for real. I think they're legit.

03:59I think they're going to show up. I think they're going to lose,

04:02but I could see him covering the number. I think they're going to be in the game. I really do.

04:07I do not think that I also could see Buffalo blowing them out. To me, Buffalo's not losing.

04:14Buffalo in one way, shape or form to me is going to the AFC championship game.
