The group discusses Jarrett Stidham’s performance, why taking points mattered, and how a dominant Broncos defense was let down offensively. The conversation shifts to the NFC Championship Game, where the Seattle Seahawks advanced behind Sam Darnold’s resurgence and a suffocating defense. The guys explain why Seattle feels like a complete team heading into the Super Bowl and how their offensive creativity and snap-count discipline separate them from other contenders. The episode wraps with Super Bowl predictions, matchup breakdowns, and a deep dive into the NFL coaching carousel, including strong opinions on Mike McCarthy, Vance Joseph, Leslie Frazier, and what teams should prioritize in franchise-defining hires.
