Wild Card Football is here. Maybe this weekend conjures memories of the Buffalo Bills’ 35-3 epic vs. the Houston Oilers. Or Jerry Rice’s fumble. Or Frank Wycheck’s home-run throwback. Or a Jeff Garcia rally vs. the Giants. Or Matt Hasselbeck’s overtime declaration.
Will we see a classic this season? Let’s get the week started on the podcast.
I’m joined again by Jim Monos, the longtime NFL scout/exec who won a Super Bowl with Sean Payton’s New Orleans and was second in command with the Buffalo Bills May 2013- ‘17. We preview each game with a longer look at Bills-Broncos. After all, it was Monos who said way back in February/March that Nix was destined to be Payton’s quarterback in Denver.
You can access video and audio of the show here, as well as Apple, Spotify and YouTube.
Thank you for making Go Long your home for longform in pro football.
Also: I sat down with Sean McDermott ahead of his seventh trip to the postseason in Buffalo. That conversation is available to our paid subscribers.
‘I bleed for that win:’ Our 1 on 1 with Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott
ORCHARD PARK, NY — All playoff pain on your mind is on his mind. Sean McDermott doesn’t hide those losses deep into his subconscious. He cannot pretend like those games never happened. Bury “13 Seconds” and the rest of those defeats or use them? Before the question is even finished, he interjects — “no way” — and pops off a leather chair to grab something at his desk on the other side of his office.
