Excitement Over Recent NFL Playoffs
00:02:16
Speaker
I hope we're feeling well today. How did we feel about those games last week? Amazing games. I know we said it was going to be amazing after Wild Card, but I mean, wow.
00:02:25
Speaker
How amazing were those games?
00:02:29
Speaker
Another great weekend of of high o the high school football, of NFL football playoffs. What can you say? it i mean, it ended. I can't wait for today's games. I can't even wait for the Super Bowl, man. At at this point, it's it's been a really, really good ah NFL playoff. better Probably one of the best years of NFL playoffs that I've seen in a while.
00:02:48
Speaker
I agree. I agree. I think it has been. and We've had a lot of close games. Last week we had, remember y'all, we talked about the snow games and football and we're seeing it today. There's supposed to be snow in Denver. So we're going to get that whole atmosphere again. So we'll see, you know, exactly how that looks. But it's been, as you said, a really good playoffs thus far.
00:03:08
Speaker
All right, cool.
Analysis of National Championship: Miami vs. Indiana
00:03:10
Speaker
Well, let's get it started with that national championship review. Dirty Mojo. You called this all season long since we started the playoffs. I bet you wish we would have done a wager because you would have won for sure, picking Miami as your national champion or picking mi Miami to go to the national championship. But unfortunately,
00:03:34
Speaker
They could not complete it all the way. The storybook ending went to Indiana, who completed an unforgettable, undefeated sixteen and oh season, beating Miami 27-21 in what was a great national championship as well. It turned out to be at least there at the end. um Dirty Mojo, what are your thoughts? Your Miami Hurricanes went down finally.
00:04:03
Speaker
Yeah, look, man, i I think this game came down to special teams, man. I don't want to put a lot of blame on Carson Beck. Carson Beck didn't play bad, but he didn't, you know, he didn't, you know, blow up the scoreboards. A missed field goal and a blocked punt for a touchdown. I mean, that's a 10-point swing right there. Think about those.
00:04:22
Speaker
If you get those, that you what I'm saying, you're winning this game by 10 points. It's 21 to basically what? I'm i'm sorry, 24 to 20? um but that That just can't happen. I don't really want to put so much in on on Beck because Beck didn't play a bad game. I mean, his only interception was the interception, the last best league play of the game.
00:04:39
Speaker
He had better numbers than um than Mendoza did. You know what I'm saying? i think that Miami defense came out there. They had a game plan for Indiana. They executed on their game plan. Fantastic game if you look at it all the way around. The thing that that stood out, though, was that Indiana had a better special teams. Their special teams played better from their field goal kicker kicking long field goals, from them blocking that punt. I mean, you can't you can't have that happen in in a national championship game. At this point of the game, this guy the guy ran right by him. I think he hit him off the side of the shoulder, blocked the punt.
00:05:10
Speaker
You can't have that so but that type of stuff. But, I mean, as far as I'm concerned, I think it was a fantastic game. You know what I'm saying? Anybody that went to game got their money's worth. I mean, it came down to basically the last thing. And I actually thought they were going pull it off. I'm pretty sure a lot of people were sitting there saying Carson Beck's going to go down just like he did against Ole Miss and pull this game off.
00:05:28
Speaker
You know, I don't want to take away too much from Indiana because, you know, it was a fantastic 16-0 season. I'm just a little skeptical on how they're going to look next year. And if a lot of people are going to be betting some money, I'm not sure if you want to put your money in your ah in the baskets for the Indiana team next year. What do we what do you think, Deion?
00:05:47
Speaker
Well, I thought this game, ah I predicted this game in my mind after the fact and it went the way I wanted to go after I saw how it played out. um I feel like, as I mentioned before, Indiana is a better coach team because they're grown men. you look at the average age of that team, it's like 22 to 38. So these are these adults. you know They're not the young kids. ah I had a tryout.
00:06:08
Speaker
Yeah, pretty much what I drove you there. And um you have to be ah great on all facts of the game, all three, you know, offense, defense, and special teams. And spin their special teams were superior. um I'll say this about Beck. Beck, to me, he's
00:06:24
Speaker
kind like a game manager to where he's not going to do anything overly crazy to win you the game when you the game. Unlike the Ole Miss, we had that run to to win to solidify that win. But, um you know, they needed him to be that guy. And Mendoza, that drive when when he got hit and then turned around, then boom, ah got to end zone. Now it's the same guy that knocked him out the game when played for Cal, when played against Miami, I think a year or two years prior, the same person that hit him. So it's it's crazy how that goes full circle. But, you know, Mendoza did what what had to be done, and their special teams got them that win. and I mean, shit, this is this is Indiana we're talking about here. And this doesn't happen unless you're playing NCAA football 2001. props to them.
00:07:00
Speaker
so props to them You know, I actually heard ah like ah a funny stat. I don't know, not a stat, but a like ah a little nugget, man. I don't know how true this nugget is, but the young man that caught the interception to to to seal the game. Yep.
00:07:14
Speaker
yeah Apparently, his uncle was the guy from Miami. I think I said that you on Instagram. Did you send that to me? Yeah, I said that to you on Instagram. yeah too That's that's a fuck amazing. I like that type of parallel universe, man. That's pretty cool. You what I'm saying? If you think about it, man, you might have said that to me, Dion, but that's pretty awesome, man. Mm-hmm.
00:07:31
Speaker
Yeah, just to talk about full circle and you know history and symmetry and all the things that came with this storyline title. Again, no one really expected this. You had that great play by Fernando Mendoza spinning and diving into the end zone. And yes, you had. And yes, yeah, it was a great play. And yes, you did have that interception. And I'm glad you brought that up, Lamar, because I was just about to talk about that.
00:07:55
Speaker
And history does come full circle. Jamari Sharpe. is um is Glenn Sharp's nephew. Glenn Sharp was flagged for a very late but not necessarily incorrect pass interference, it was late, in the 2002 national title game against the Ohio State University in the first of two overtimes. The Buckeyes would win in double OT.
00:08:17
Speaker
Miami has spent the past 23 years trying to get back to the national championship since then. And when they do, as was mentioned serendipitously, Jamari Sharp,
00:08:28
Speaker
the ah the nephew of Glenn Sharp provided that last interception to seal the game over Carson Beck. Peach, how did you feel about the game? It was what we've been saying for weeks, guys.
00:08:40
Speaker
um Indiana, they're not the greatest at anything, but they're the best at everything, right? We said that. They're the best in college football at all three phases. And what won them this game? Like Lamar and like Deion said, special teams did.
00:08:52
Speaker
And they're a team that you cannot make mistakes against. And unfortunately for Miami, they had the two huge mistakes, you know, missing the kicks, giving up the punt return. And that's what sealed the deal. Mendoza did his thing, made the play when he needed to make it.
00:09:07
Speaker
That's what he's been doing all year long. That's why he's going to be the number one pick to the Las Vegas Raiders. And I know how Omar feels about that, but that's why he's going to get that pick, be the number one pick, guys.
00:09:19
Speaker
That field goal kicker for Miami is the same field goal kicker that missed, was it two or three against Mississippi State? that I mean, Texas. Who did they play the first round? um I'm sorry. It was Texas A&M, right? A&M. I think it's A&M. He missed two or three. And then he missed one against Ohio State.
00:09:34
Speaker
i don't I don't know what he did against Ole Miss, but, like, man, that's that's that has to suck. I mean, he he played badly. And you think about it. You you nailed that that one right there. Guess what? All you have to do is get the field goal range to kind send it into overtime. It's not so much of a pressing thing. know what saying?
00:09:48
Speaker
and that term That term, you can use it now, that term for college players now. You you got one job, we pay for one reason. and you know You can say that to him. You you go to Miami, you get they' they they're cheating and giving kids ah from Duke, the quarterback of Duke, eight mil to come play with us. so a I don't know how much they're paying them, but Yeah, there's a lot of college stuff, a lot of NIL stuff we to talk about, too, that's kind of crazy.
00:10:08
Speaker
And Lamar, you hit the nail on that you hit the now in the head. They're not going to be the same team next year, but that's go to be college football from now on with you know with everybody being able to leave whenever they want. There's going to be the one-year wonder teams and the great teams like this that come out of nowhere, but I think that makes it awesome, too, at the same time, because if you have a team that's not really a big football superpower, there are chances to win the national championship now.
00:10:30
Speaker
Yeah, we start talking about the NIL, I really don't – i don't i don't know how things are gonna rock and roll right i don't know if there are gonna be the super teams just from people transferring and transferring around i still think that the big yeah i still think i still think the big the teams that are the best teams that do the best recruiting are going to be the better teams yeah you might have sure yeah you're gonna have blue blood right you know what i'm saying so you know like you look what happened with the kid from clemson he went from uh was ucla to clemson to this That shit is crazy as fuck to me. think you sent me another one, Dion. You what I'm saying? It's like, to me, these guys right here, it almost feels as if you're, you know, a lot of people want to down the SEC, but almost feels like you're paying to win.
00:11:12
Speaker
when these other schools didn't have to do that, they were winning because they had the best team, the best players. I still think coach teams are going to have the best teams based off of their recruiting. And if you're a great recruiter, you're going to have a really good team. So I wouldn't put too much into like another style of Indiana. That was just like a, that was ah a big time, you know, win for them because the JMU team that left were, they were a good team that left and went to, they went to Indiana. A lot of those players, because if I, if I, if I remember this clearly,
00:11:42
Speaker
They had ah only lost one game that year. Right. And then then he tramped then he went to Indiana and the guys went with him. So they were a good fucking team. My motto was always well coached team will always beat athletic kids. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Just if you're well coached, you're going to beat the athletic folks. Just how it is. You are.
00:11:59
Speaker
You definitely are. Well, you talked about NIL and payments to players, and we talked about parity and how that's happening now because you do have schools that do it. mean, a lot of these universities, including the private ones, have billions of dollars that they can spend if they really wanted to. Now now that they're they're in the era where they can, then, yeah, they're going to. and when you look at a team like Indiana, Mark Cuban is their main one of their main benefactors.
00:12:25
Speaker
And, I mean, shit, if he's starting to put money into it, Who's to say they can't buy whoever they want, right? And so symmetrically, all as well, one last point about this. This undefeated title comes 50 years after Bob Knight led the basketball team to a 32-0 undefeated title season. So there you go for it.

NFC Championship Preview: Rams vs. Seahawks
00:13:05
Speaker
NFC Championship game. Los Angeles Rams versus the Seattle Seahawks. The Rams at 45, or sorry, the over-unders at 45 and a half. The Seahawks are two and a half point home favorites over the Rams, right? So let's start with you, Clubber D. What do you got on this game?
00:13:27
Speaker
You know, I saw a weird stat of... ah You know, i was as when I was crying my tears away at the Niners in their season and the stupid electrical player that needs to be moved. um They said that the Super Bowl winners have all beat us either in the Super Bowl or leading up to Super Bowl. The last times we made the playoffs, leap going all the way back to, you know,
00:13:48
Speaker
think before the Ravens beat us. So if history is on its side, it'd be Seattle's going to win a Super Bowl. um But screw that. It sucks that it's played in Santa c Clara. our Our rivals will be playing there um on our own field and having glory possibly. I love this matchup. I'm a big fan of Stafford and what he's doing because i counted him out. I thought that that back injury coming into the season would would hinder his progress. He'd probably retire. And he's looking he's looking on fire. Puka Nakua is unstoppable. um you know ah Adams, he hasn't had a big game in the playoffs just yet. And I think that's going to happen pretty soon.
00:14:24
Speaker
better happen today um you look at seattle you know we got they got the tough defense um seattle is basically owned by uh the rams besides that last game when they came back in the fourth quarter and scored all those points um they have they they have the x factor with uh with uh shaheed of that kick returner and he's he's a fast receiver that's the x factor to me because that's about your teams it's gonna play a factor in this game um it's really gonna be for this particular game, can Sam Darnold not turn into a pumpkin, so to say, and that's gonna be the thing. Can, can the Rams defense converse? Can everybody get at him and, and cause him to do something he shouldn't do either be erratic pass or fumble the ball, or just, you know, just, just see ghosts and just take a sack. So that's gonna be the main factor is if Sam Darnold gonna be nullified and, and, I think the Rams will do that. Are we getting predictions or just doing a little assumption? Yeah, no, You're scoring everything. Oh, scoring everything? Okay. So I want to say think this game, I think that Adams is going to have big game. I think he's going have more yards than Puka because they're going to cue in on Puka Nakua. I feel like Sam Darnold is going to make a statement in this game. It is going to be
00:15:38
Speaker
twenty seven to my classic 17. Bam. Got the Rams. 27-17. And yeah, they've already played ah Dirty Mojo a couple times, three times. This will be their their third meeting.
00:15:52
Speaker
um And they were really good games. during we had The last one was a 38-37 overtime in week 16. So that was, we're expecting a really good game today versus two really, really good teams in what, I mean, I'm thinking it is going to be, um you know, a closer game than 10 points, but we'll see. What do you think, Dirty Mojo?
00:16:14
Speaker
Yeah, you know, the first game that they played was a close one. I think it was only by like three points early in this earlier in the season. 21-19 21-19 Rams, and that was in Los Angeles. And then, they you know, they lose this game. But if you remember, the Rams got out um on Seattle, and Seattle had to come back to win that game, right? So, you know what saying? is is it It is, you know,
00:16:34
Speaker
Peach has been mentioning this all year long. Dion has been saying about it too, about Sam Darnold, right? And and we're, we're, we're talking about is Sam Darnold going to come out there? the Sam Darnold going to turn back into the pumpkin that he is. And he's just not going to be that good. And, you know, I, I will say this, I hope, I hope not. I hope not because I want to see a good and NFC championship game.
00:16:54
Speaker
I want to see one of those games that is an instant classic that five years from now when you're flipping through NFL live, um NFL channel, that game is on as one of those games where they have some sort of – like a little documentary on that.
00:17:07
Speaker
know saying? Because I really believe that these two are the two best teams in the NFC, and I don't want it to be taken over by a poor play from one player compared to, you know what I'm saying, the Rams just playing so well.
00:17:20
Speaker
None of these guys really have any major injuries from last week, the week before. what saying? that they can say, hey, man, we didn't have this guy. It's going really fun game. I do like the Rams because I i said it's that – I felt like the Rams were the better team besides that when they had the two losses that they had going into the end of the season. And then just the way they played in Chicago last week, you know what I'm saying to keep their poise in that cold weather and just played a really hard-fought football game.
00:17:47
Speaker
um I don't think that the score will be like it was last time, that 37 to 38. I don't think it'll be high. I think just like Deion said, it'll be a little bit closer. I'm going to go 24 to 20. The Rams will win this game. It's going to be a great game, though. You know, these guys in the same divisions. They see each other all the time. They know each other. It's going to be a hard-fought game.
00:18:10
Speaker
It's going to be a gritty game. There's going to be some pushing. There's going to be some shoving. But I think at the end of the day, we're going to sit back and say, Dan, that was a hell of a damn game like you've been doing the whole playoffs. Yeah, in a matchup, Peach, of the number one NFL scoring defense in the Seahawks, 17.2 points game, we talked about that last time, versus the number one scoring offense in the Rams that averaged an NFL ah best 30.5 points per game. So, I mean, this is what what do they call it in wrestling, the immovable force meets the immovable object or whatever it is, how you say it. What are your thoughts on on this game?
00:18:47
Speaker
I think it's going a hell of a game. The first two matchups were great, so why wouldn't this one be? um i've been talking about I've been talking about Sam Darnold turning into a pumpkin. But what did I say last week in our group chat, man?
00:18:58
Speaker
I don't think that defense is going to let him turn into a pumpkin. And I think it's going to be the same this week. I actually have Seattle winning 30-27 this week. and i i It is going to be close, and I think it's going to be because of the home field advantage, man. It's hard to play in Seattle. And that crowd is going to be – beast quake-like ready for ah any big play to happen. Darnold just needs one big play, man, and that crowd's not going to shut up for the rest of the game. You've got to keep the crowd in it.
00:19:25
Speaker
ah We'll see that, like I said, that that Rams offense is incredible, but that Seattle defense, I think, is just a little bit better. And I think they're going to win them this game today. So that's where I'm going. it can be It's a toss-up to me, but i'm I'm going to go with Seattle today, guys, 30-27.
00:19:43
Speaker
30-27. I mean, I agree with you, Peach. I think ah you know that it is going to be a close game. We saw ah exactly what we talked about earlier, very close games early. um One funny fact that I found about this is that the Rams and the Seahawks were two of the NFL's least penalized teams.
00:20:03
Speaker
But the but referee Clay Martin, they're Their crew in the regular season threw the most flags per game.
00:20:14
Speaker
So we may see more flags this time around and things being called that maybe weren't necessarily called before. You also have the Seattle home field advantage with the 12th man is something that you got to think about. Another thing that we need to think about is Seattle. Even though these were close games, um Seattle turned the ball over 10 times.
00:20:36
Speaker
in those matchups. So that's something we also got to think about. and And we talked about it, the pumpkin mode. I have said this for three years about Sam Darnold. Since I first started streaming football, I started talking about Sam Darnold and pumpkin mode and how it's always going to happen in big games um and how he's just – whether it's ghost, whether it's ah whether it's the oblique, whatever the combination of things are going to be. If you think that ah defensive coordinator Chris Shula, who's been a hot ah coaching candidate, is not going to disguise coverages to try to confuse um ah Sam Darnold, then you know you're you're sadly mistaken. Now, one thing that will hurt the Seahawks is the fact that they lost Zach Charbonnet.
00:21:30
Speaker
ah last round due to a due to a I believe it was a ACL injury so now what did you say what happened oh he said his favorite wine I just thought about that I'm drinking ah some exceptions reserved in a Charbonnet cask sharp somebody every time I see his name I'm like give a glass of red wine I don't know Y'all better pay me too.
00:22:04
Speaker
Yes. He wants a sponsorship for that Charbonnet cast, but yeah, it's going to be a big loss for them. Kenneth Walker is now going to have to be ah the main person that takes over this game for them. Now,
00:22:21
Speaker
What else are we going to see here? ah Sean McVay is a great play caller. We've talked about it plenty of times before. He's proven himself in the playoffs, won a championship, but Mike McDonald has a good defense coach, so we're not going to overlook the fact that he is a good – now, he has a lot less experience, so when it comes down to those crucial decisions in the game – maybe, maybe not.
00:22:44
Speaker
Um, will he make them, but we know at least the defense is going to play well. But again, you got to deal with Stafford. You got to deal with Puka Nakua. You got to deal with my X factor in this game is truly going to be Colby Parkinson.
00:22:58
Speaker
Um, uh, there are major parts of Sean McVay's offense that uses tight ends. And right now in this game, uh,
00:23:10
Speaker
Matthew, or Parkinson has had 90 receiving yards and a touchdown in their two playoff wins. Matthew Stafford has a league high 74 attempts on rollouts.
00:23:21
Speaker
So this is very easy to see the boot concepts where he rolls out, gets outside, hits Parkinson. So I'm really looking for that to happen today. I'm also looking for As I mentioned, Sam Darnold to finally see or finally turn back into pumpkin modes, see those ghosts fail to to Shula's defense.
00:23:43
Speaker
um And yeah, I expect the Rams to win this game. So I'm expecting, what did I write here? 31 to 27. to twenty seven So the last one, as we talked about, was what? The 38-37 overtime win by the Seahawks. So I'm going to go with the Rams. 31, Seahawks, 27, and the Rams going to the Super Bowl. And I do think that Darnold does turn back in the pumpkin mode. I do think Darnold that the i in my eyes, personally, the Rams are the better team anyways. So I think that they should win this game. But just the fact that you do have Darnold, which I think is going to make the mistake, you do have um Kenneth Walker, who are is is missing Charbonnet. I think it's going to all make a difference. And I think that ah that the Rams win this game. Well, look, listen, when do we start to take the whole pumpkin um title off of Sam Darnold? Because if you go back and look at it, man, last year he played pretty damn good last year too, right?
00:24:45
Speaker
I mean, quarterbacks are going to have – until the playoffs. Quarterbacks are going to have good games and they're going have bad games. and And I think we can all agree that – In the last two years, Sam Darnold has played very, very well.
00:24:56
Speaker
Good enough to to to kind of wipe the the beginning of his career off the slate? Or are we still saying that, hey, he's still that player. He's just been lucky. But, I mean, it's been two years now. I mean, he's last year, though. His pumpkin roll comes in big games. It's not because he's winning games in the regular season, like I was about to say. We're all on the same wavelength because he could play. He could be 12 and 4 or whatever. It doesn't matter. But you play us and play like dog shit.
00:25:22
Speaker
multiple times you're a pumpkin i'm sorry that's like you're good running all over ah bush league schools but then when you when you're tired of playing toledos and playing play a real division one school you don't do nothing so that's just you know bump in boxing they call it bum bashing you know he's good regular season but get to do to the uh playoffs it's you know Yeah, and it was only one game that we got to see.
00:25:42
Speaker
He's a guy that needs everything perfect. guy That's what it means. Like, if things aren't perfect, he's going to turn into a – like, if he plays for the Jets, he's going to suck. Like, we know that. Exactly. Like, there's certain guys that are just great quarterbacks. They could be good anywhere they go.
00:25:54
Speaker
He's not one of them. he needs take that You take that snipper off, that horse of carriage goes back into a pumpkin. That's exactly what we're saying here. Awesome.

AFC Championship Preview: Broncos vs. Patriots
00:26:10
Speaker
replay. Subscribe to Ball and Buds, B-A-L-L-A-N-D-B-U-D-S. I saved this game for last because I've got two special people that know how to talk about both of these teams that we are going to welcome in now. The AFC Championship, Denver Broncos versus New England Patriots. The Patriots are three and a half road favorites. The over under is 43 and a half.
00:26:32
Speaker
Let's welcome in our two streamers that know these teams well. First of all, for the Patriots, the favorites, Lion, Reese Penn. What's good, brother? How are you? What's going on, boys? How are we doing? What up, man? You got the Patriots jersey on and everything. Hey, brother. We're wearing the whites today, so i figured I'd wear the whites today. Turn that phone landscape for us so we can see that beautiful face. And then next we've got – oh, by the way, you can find Lion Reese Penn at The Rec Room on YouTube. The Rec Room, W-R-E-C-K. And now from my olden days at the Bottom Line Sports, he's also at Final Say Pod and coming soon, the Total Evisceration Hot.
00:27:16
Speaker
Take Jake up with. Oh, hot take. He disappeared. He's back in the closet. He's back in the closet again. He disappeared. I don't know what happened here. He disappeared. Where'd you go?
00:27:27
Speaker
Okay, he'll join us in a second. Hot take Jake, Denver Broncos extraordinaire. Wanted to talk a little Bo Nix injury and Jared Stidham, so he'll come in here. There he is.
00:27:39
Speaker
I had to ask Jake a question about that, too. Jake, will you please fix whatever's happening right now? Quit stealing your neighbor's Wi-Fi. What's up, brother? Go to Starbucks, bro, like the rest of you. We got severe storms over here, man.
00:27:53
Speaker
They might have the same thing. It's tough. Power's going on all over the country. hey Hey, I just got – hey, you know, when you came in, you were supposed to do the Stephon digs. You were supposed to slide it back in and get back in that motherfucker again, bro, when you split up in this bitch. You know, you got to do one those, bro.
00:28:08
Speaker
You can't just come in here with your thing and show your 10 jersey. You got slide that son of a bitch like my man Stephon did last week. He's going to sliding today. He's going to get a touchdown today. um Before we get into the that game, Reese Penn, what is your – What is your score for the NFC Championship?
00:28:27
Speaker
Oh, that one's going to be good. I'm going to say something like 31-27 Rams, something like that. Whoa! Yes, same score as me. Maybe 34-31, I don't know, somewhere like that. I think both teams will score pretty well.
00:28:40
Speaker
I do think the Rams win. I think they're the better team. cool as as a fan As a fan of the Patriots, right? you know and You know, obviously you want your team to go to the Super Bowl.
00:28:50
Speaker
Which team do you think you guys match up against better, the Rams or the Seahawks? He's right away. Oh, man, that's tough. I think I'd rather play the Rams. Matt has no ah mobility back there. And as you know, we have a pretty good pass rush. I think we would give them the problems. Plus, I'd prefer the Rams just because if we're not going win, I hope Matt Stafford gets another one. I wouldn't mind seeing that. He waited forever for one, and I always thought he was great. so
00:29:17
Speaker
a dog He's a dog, so I'm cheering for him for sure. Okay, cool. Well, let's go ahead and kick this game off then. As we mentioned, you've got your Patriots again, three and a half. Oh, there he is. Is he finally good?
00:29:30
Speaker
There he is. Turn your phone sideways. Turn your phone landscape for us so we can see that. There we go. I have a cricket wireless. Word There he is.
00:29:44
Speaker
half girl a lot bad Yeah, let's go. oh oh Wow, it is just a rotating cast of, of what do they call that? I'm not going to talk shit. As much as my shit turns off, I'm not talking shit at all, guys. Look, he's gone again, too. What is happening right now?
00:30:03
Speaker
Everybody's stuff has gone crazy. And with connection and and a good ah spot for your phones. This is tremendous. I had to jump off because all I could hear was Dion at the time. Now I can hear everybody. Oh, this is tremendous. what you bunch wireless.
00:30:19
Speaker
There goes Jake. All right, Jake, are you good? Nope. Here's the thing, though. can't hear nobody. Can y'all hear me? Yes, yeah I can hear you.
00:30:32
Speaker
See, I can't hear fucking the thing. Okay, you know what? Anyways, everything's wireless. You will get joked. It's a comedy of errors going on right now. Listen, it's tough right now. There's a lot going on in the country with this winter shit. Hey, go ahead. Let's go ahead and I'm going to move you to the top since you're the special guest for this one. Reese, go ahead. Kick us off. What you got?
00:30:57
Speaker
are we all About the game or about the weather? Yeah, about the game, not the weather full. Come on. This one, I'm not gonna lie, it worries me a little bit. As y'all know, the line started at five and a half hits down to three and a half because a lot of people are taking Denver, which I think is the right move when it was five and four and a half. I think this is gonna be a field goal game. It's gonna be close. I know people think, oh, it's their backup quarterback, we're just gonna walk in and smoke them. Anyone who thinks that is crazy. That defense is as good as it gets.
00:31:21
Speaker
They get after the quarterback better than anyone. Patrick Sertan is an absolute lockdown corner. They're going to us problems for sure. I mean, you see the kind of problems Will Campbell's having with lesser pass rushers in this playoffs. And Nick Benito's not playing right now. This is a guy on a mission. This is a guy who's getting after it. And he's going to wreak havoc. Drake better not fumble today because that's going to be key, taking care of the ball. If we take care of it, I think we win by three. But we'll see.
00:31:47
Speaker
No, you mentioned some really pertinent. We drafted that bum jerk, Stidham, by the way. What the hell? Oh, what? I mean, believe me. He played for us. Oh, no, I can't hear anyone. Ain't this a bitch? Ain't this a bitch? What is happening right now? All right. Anyways, i agree, though. There is going to be some crucial. can't hear anything y'all are saying. So whatever y'all are saying, just see your mouths moving. I'm just letting y'all know if you hear me.
00:32:12
Speaker
I don't know if you hear me. We hear you. Jump off and jump back on. Jump off, log off, and log back on. I see he's doing the orchestra stuff, but I can't hear what he's saying. In a private chat. Yeah, let me see if I put it in a private chat for you.
00:32:31
Speaker
Is he going on a Mets tangent? This is about the time of year they start getting excited for nothing. They stole Luis Roberts from us. Log off and jump back in. about this?
00:32:44
Speaker
I'm going to remove him myself and kick him from the studio. So that way he has to do that. Boom. There you go. he asked you All right, Jake, talk to us about this game. Well, guys, we we we were destined to be here.
00:32:58
Speaker
We were destined to be here. That's why I brought you on. That's exactly why I brought you on. It hurts me because destiny... I can't believe you actually predicted this a couple years. I can't believe that that you were right.
00:33:09
Speaker
I told you what Bo Nix was about to become. And it hurts me more that we're doing this without our leader, our soldier, the general, the captain. You know what I mean?
00:33:21
Speaker
It hurts me. But if there's one thing I've learned about parties, there ain't no party like a city party. And Jared Stidham's about to do the thing. Let me tell y'all something, guys.
00:33:35
Speaker
They were screaming to me that Josh McDaniels knows this man. He played for the Raiders. They sucked. I mean, Josh, we didn't understand. you didn' have them He learned from Tom Brady himself.
00:33:47
Speaker
He learned. He learned. from Sean Payton as of recent. And he's learning from the, probably the next best QB of all time, Bo Nix. Right now, guys, we have a destiny.
00:34:00
Speaker
And the destiny does not stop now. Let me tell y'all something. Yeah. I cried. I remember getting off We were celebrating it up after whooping Josh Allen's sorry ass. We walked out laughing it up. Drinks on me. I'm drinking. And out of nowhere, that ESPN ticker shows up. And Adam Schefter did that fucking bullshit showing me that Bo Nix was out.
00:34:23
Speaker
Made me cry a little bit. But it doesn't matter because one thing we have is the best coach of this generation, Sean Payton. Oh, my God. And Sean Payton is about to do the unthinkable.
00:34:35
Speaker
And I said this once and I'll say it again. Sean Payton is the best head coach in the league after Andy Reid. But I honestly believe this now, Omar. He's already proven to Andy Reid he's better than that piece of shit. Whoa.
00:34:47
Speaker
Let me tell you something. Hold on. Remember, he's got Patrick Mahomes. Think about that. That's true. You're right. I'm warning you now. The Broncos got one thing on their mind, and that's the fucking Super Bowl, guys. Let me let me rewind y'all 10 years ago.
00:35:01
Speaker
10 years ago in Levi's Stadium where the Super Bowl was being played, there was a team with a horse on their helmet that played just not 10 years ago that fucking Super Bowl. And ah here we are. History repeating itself. And guess what we had to go through, Omar?
00:35:17
Speaker
Who do we have to go through the AFC Championship to get there again? The Patriots, yes. Time is a flat circle, as we talked about. Guys, history repeats itself. It does. We talked about that earlier. I don't think San Fran was in Santa Clara then. Yeah, that was the Levi's Stadium. They had just opened it. She's right. It was so beautiful. First one. It was the first year.
00:35:37
Speaker
WrestleMania was there also. Guys, it's destiny. Wow. And today we're going to win this game. Yeah, that would be a. It's going to be a close one. I will say that. If it was Bo Nix, we would have mopped the floor with him easily.
00:35:51
Speaker
Would have been beautiful. That's true. But we're going to go. It's going to be 16 to 19. The Broncos are going to have at least one punt return or one kickoff return with Marvin Mims. Remember the name, Marvin motherfucking Mims, the man himself.
00:36:09
Speaker
We're going to do exactly what we got to do. Nick Benito, La Casa Bonito is about to go crazy and get the home runs every time and knock the shit out of Drake May. I'm telling you right now, it's our time.
00:36:23
Speaker
Fuck Stefan Diggs. Cardi B and him can go cry on the weekend. This, cause I'm tired of it. We're ready, man. I'm excited. I'm about to start drinking.
00:36:33
Speaker
We're going crazy, man. cannot wait. It's a mile-high massacre this year. Bro, you sound like you already blew yourself up. He's all breathing heavy like he ran to the ring like Ultimate Warrior. What the hell? I can't hear anyone again. I got to ask you a question. Go ahead, Dirty Mochell. Can y'all hear me? Yeah. You referenced 10 years ago when you guys played the Bulls. What happened to that game?
00:37:02
Speaker
What happened that game was we had a great defense. And we had Peyton Manning, who was underachieving that year. Did you guys lose that game? When? Ten years ago, it was the AFC Divisional game you guys lost for Bulls.
00:37:17
Speaker
No, ten years ago. when whenever It was ten years ago this time in 2016. We made the playoffs. We beat the Steelers. We go on to New England. We beat Tom Brady. And then we finally finish it off and go to the Super Bowl and beat Cam Newton and the Panthers.
00:37:32
Speaker
But you guys beat who? yeah Who did y'all beat to go to the Super Bowl? We beat the Patriots. You said the Colts. You said they had a horseshoe on their helmet. No, the Broncos. Neck, and neck, neck. There's one team that has a horse helmet today, buddy. He said there was a horseshoe on the helmet. That's what he said. And and by the way by the way, even that when that did happen, you guys had Peyton Manning at quarterback. So I wouldn't know so much. that sounds it don't i don't i don't give it I don't give a shit either.
00:38:03
Speaker
I don't care what he did. He's still Peyton fucking Manning. Just to spin him or whoever the fuck he is. i don't know what you guys are. Got planning on going on, but he's no Peyton Manning. You guys didn't have a great defense, but you guys had Peyton Manning on that team.
00:38:18
Speaker
he He had a whopping one touchdown in that game. I do have a question for for Jake, and going do this when it was my turn, but I figured I'd do it now because want to steal.
00:38:29
Speaker
There's a low-budget theory going on that Bo Nix broke his ankle after the game in celebration, not on the field. Whoa! I didn't hear that. No, that's bullshit. Because they so they show the play of when they said it happened, and he runs off no problem. They're saying it's it' ah is a full break.
00:38:45
Speaker
What? So people are saying that he possibly did it in the locker room after the game, not on the field. I did not hear that. Well, there's a point in the game where he's jumping, and he springs in pain when he jumps. It could be could be just a fan thing. i just want to know your take on it.
00:39:03
Speaker
Yeah, no, that's beyond bull crap. If Bo Nix could be there, he's going to be out there, man. When did it happen? No, I said he couldn't be out there. I was just saying he broke it in the locker room after the game, not on the field. That's what saying.
00:39:14
Speaker
Oh, no, i don't know no, no. Because they said it was the last like two plays of the game that he broke it. But it was the play where they run back. They run to the left on a QB. By the way, i don't know whose idea was that we are. We already coach the coach.
00:39:28
Speaker
The second coach. Second best coach. but No, it was Sean Payton. The second best coach. Sean Payton. Don't do that. But let hey i will say I will say this, guys. I will say this as far as the game is concerned.
00:39:41
Speaker
I'm most disappointed about this game because I wanted to see a healthy Denver versus a healthy New England Patriots. So with what happened, it was kind of like, oh, man. I think we settled that debate. The best QB of that that that ah draft now. I think Bo Nix settled that debate, didn't he? I don't know about that.
00:39:59
Speaker
What? I don't think so. Not yet. Oh, you know you guys are 4-0 against the Patriots in the playoffs, right? I absolutely do know that. guys are like 4-0, something like that. Something crazy. So that you guys you do have that go on your side.
00:40:11
Speaker
oh what Where's everybody else's thoughts? Are y'all thinking that it's going to be a Patriots win because of just defaults? they got joke i how do we go items next I would say, i would i listen, I will say that because you guys are you guys lost your starting quarterback, I would say yes, I would give the advantage to the Patriots.
00:40:31
Speaker
Had this been a even everybody's healthy, I'd like Denver to win it because, I'm saying, I thought that the Patriots were a little bit overrated. I thought that the Patriots were a little bit overrated. They had the easy schedule and they kind of got the easy win, things like that. I thought Denver's schedule was a lot harder and they actually balled out and did what they did against a tougher team.
00:40:53
Speaker
But without your starting quarterback, I know you love who's a Stidham system. I don't know who the fuck. I know. But man, when it comes to that New England Patriots defense and then the guy that's getting a couple days of, I just don't see it. I don't see it happening. No matter how good your defense is.
00:41:10
Speaker
We've seen the Patriots play. I mean, you know, look what they did last week. look I don't know. Hey. I mean, man, come on. Listen, I said that they were overrated. I said that the team that they played weren't as good as it as they should have been.
00:41:27
Speaker
But at the same time, you guys know have your starting quarterback. That's the edge that I give to the Patriots. If it wasn't for that, I'm so i'm saying Denver Broncos win it. But because... guys i'll have your starting quarterback? I'll say this. um dev ah the The Patriots have had it ah great luck. You know i'm saying? It's not their fault, well, you know, losing all them games and playing, having an easy schedule, but you still got win those games, okay? So I give them that credit. um As far as the playoffs go, you'll go against the quarterback that's going to turn the ball over four or five times. You know what I'm saying? that's
00:41:59
Speaker
That's not their fault. That's C.J. Straub playing like dog shit, and that game was very close. So I'm not going to blame the Patriots on that. To me, Now they're set up to everyone's thinking they're just going to Super Bowl because Bo Nix is out.
00:42:10
Speaker
But you guys' defense is on par with theirs. They just paid it they just played a great defense in in the Texans. But it's really up to Stenham not to make the same mistakes that that Stroud did towards the end of that game on the second half of that game. Well, that'd be my question to you, Clover D. Do you think Stenham makes the same exact mistakes that apparently C.J. Stroud should actually be ah playing Madden instead of playing the role in the field right Stroud's living off his his his rookie hype. okay I'm all defensive over him okay because there's no excuse. they're wasting i hate I hate to see good defenses wasted like that.
00:42:38
Speaker
um I honestly think that Stenum's going to be like ah Davis Mills that came in for Stroud and just play, do what he's supposed to do. nothing too crazy, nothing too flashy, but just do his damn job. I think Stilham's going to do that. And the the thing that's going help you guys is the weather. It's not going to have everybody having these spectacular plays. It was a snowy ass game. Everyone's kind of, you know, but basically running the ball. really going down to who has the better running game in the short, short passing game. So I got to be in a slow, uh, your hear prediction, Lamar.
00:43:05
Speaker
Say again, haven't. Your prediction. No, not yet. Not a score. I'll give my score real quick. You want to do yours or when we go do mine. Go ahead, do yours. Okay, I'll say it'd be, I'm going to go 20, I'm going to go 20, 2013.
00:43:18
Speaker
I'm going to say Denver.
00:43:22
Speaker
um say denver
00:43:26
Speaker
2013 Denver. There you go. let's between the Dirty Mojo, what you got? What's your score? So so we talked about the Denver Broncos the last couple of weeks about that. Their offense is, you know, it's an inconsistent ah offense. Right.
00:43:38
Speaker
Now you don't have your starting quarterback with the yeah I mean, that's exactly right. Is that that change the inconsistent offense? So, I mean, and then we got oh you think might be better. Interesting. Right. Well, then you got the Patriots, who we can honestly say we talked about it last week because i I think you guys made the ah the comment about how the score was going to be low because they were the best defenses out there that were gonna be playing between Houston and I'm sorry, yeah between the Texans and between the Patriots. And then if you look what the Patriots did the week before, I know it was the Chargers and Herbert, but at the same time, we have to we have to give credit to where credit's due. Right. So.
00:44:09
Speaker
Without the quarterback and an inconsistent offense, I just i have to give the nod to the Patriots. I just, it's nothing. I mean, you know, hey, hey, hot take. You know what I said? I said at the beginning of the season, right? I thought the Chargers going to win and i gave you Denver Broncos number one. Yeah, I'll give you credit. because remember i Remember that. We're coming at you about the Chiefs and the Raiders. explain Exactly. Exactly. I remember that. what it So, and like I said, man, I like what you guys are doing. You're absolutely right about your coach. You guys have one of the best coaches, the offensive-minded coaches. But, unfortunately, the your defense is is so good that your offense is able to kind of just be like a normal offense. I want to ask this one question to Clubber D because Clubber D will know this better than anybody.
00:44:50
Speaker
Clubber D, yes or no, when Brock Purdy got hurt, do you believe there's a motivation in coaches where they coach their ass off? The next couple, I believe Kyle Shanahan's coaching, he coached his ass off the second Mac Jones walked into that building as his quarterback because they were winning games. They shouldn't have they couldn't beat the Rams that first game in. That first game early in the year?
00:45:13
Speaker
Yeah, that was one of best games he coached. I think Sean, this is on Sean Payton's shoulders. Not only that, let me tell you something. If he wins it with this backup QB, Jared Stidham.
00:45:25
Speaker
That would be amazing. Y'all better give him his damn gold jacket already. oh I'm telling you right now. I would. I would. I would definitely say that Peyton is one of the better things. Because here that the winner of the NFC game is the winner of the Super Bowl already. That's the Super Bowl being played already. I mean, that's what I think. But, you know, I think that. I didn't want to hurt your feelings. But if I were to go back and say the score, though, if I go back and say the score, it will be, i think, a low-scoring game.
00:45:50
Speaker
And I would go 17 13.
00:45:53
Speaker
the Patriots would win that. Why Sean Payton always have that expression on his face like he ate something tart? He's always like that. don't want to be there with a media man? don't want to be there with a media? What you got, Peach? What you got, Peach?
00:46:06
Speaker
Well, I'm going say that Hot Cake Jake is right that this is a team of destiny, but it's going to be the Patriots that are the team of destiny. And I say that because they have been lucky all year long, gentlemen. I mean, the schedule is crazy. why they got They got to face cupcakes in the playoffs so far, and then they get the Broncos team with Stidham.
00:46:25
Speaker
It just seems like that's the destiny right there. It's the Patriots. That's what I said earlier. Yeah. like Denver's the better team, but they have to start to fit them. And I know you're hoping and praying on a Sean Payton magical game, which it could happen. I just don't see it, man. And I see the Patriots winning this thing easily 30 to 13. I don't think Denver's going to score. Denver's going to score. How are they going score? Interesting. If they don't score on defense, they're not to score more than 13 points, I'm afraid. Now, they score on defense, hey, things will change.
00:46:57
Speaker
But I just don't see it happening today, guys. And I think the Patriots defense is is good as well. And they don't have to worry about a premier starting quarterback at all. Depeach. Beach, do you think you think that ah they're going to lot of ah play action rollouts or will be more conventional style quarterback play out of Stidham?
00:47:15
Speaker
Shaw Payne, what's going call? Because Bo Nix is classic roll to the right play action all the time. so you think that's going to the same thing? I think he's good. I think Peyton's going to throw the kitchen sink at him. I think there's going be flea flicker. I think there's going to everything.
00:47:28
Speaker
But will it work? Because it's Stidham. I don't believe it's Stidham. I can't believe in him, man. i'm I'm sorry. I can't. I've seen him play. But it's payback against the Patriots. It's payback. It could be, I guess. I mean, that yeah, he wins it. This is the biggest payback ever.
00:47:43
Speaker
But, man, his first game playing all year long is the AFC Championship. The pressure on him. It's going to be ah a lot more than I think Sean Payton can do. You know, party like a city party. Come on, guys. Hey, man, if you if you win this one, i'll i'll I'll throw the flowers at your hot take jake all day long if they win today. I'll say they're winning the Super Bowl in two weeks if they win today because that that is destiny. If they can beat a fully healthy New England Patriots team today, that destiny is real. If Hacksaw Jim Duggan can win the Royal Rumble, this can happen.
00:48:13
Speaker
You're damn right. What do you guys think, Omar? Wow. and Hey, you guys want to hear a crazy stat? I saw it and I had to look it up because it was just something that you you look you go back and you look at it.
00:48:27
Speaker
You guys realize since 2011, two teams that have been in the a championship game is the is the Chiefs and the Patriots. Yeah, I'd appreciate it if you stopped stealing all my stats today, please. I'm sorry, baby. No, you're good. 15 years of AFC Championship games has always had either the Chiefs or the Patriots in those games. That's AFC's problem. need to tighten up other teams. They need to get some better fucking teams. That's right. Yeah, let me let me back you up on that. Look at Lamar Peek in I know, right? Where'd you have to get my document at? I don't understand. This year's game will lack. It leaked. I like fucking went into your computer and just hacked that shit. much um No, you're right, though. This year's game will lack. Since the first time since 2010, it will not feature Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes.
00:49:18
Speaker
Brady led the bats to eight consecutive, 2011 to 2018. Allen faced Mahomes and the Chiefs in the AFC title game. Brady went to the Patriots to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019 and went to the Super Bowl. And then Mahomes went to the AFC title game from 2018 until last year.
00:49:37
Speaker
That is crazy. um And again, yeah, maybe it's that we've just been the AFC since I'm in the AFC. We've been ruled by these two quarterbacks for the longest of times. And that's why I say with my homes, you know, they're the Kansas City is never going to be out of it because they have ma homes because I saw, you know, unfortunately, what Tom Shady did with the Patriots.
00:49:57
Speaker
So, um but anyways, in this game, May, although, yes, they're playing Jarrett Stidham, although I am with Peach, I think that it's going to be a Patriots victory resounding. I don't think the offense for the Broncos is going score much at all. I had, we had Jarrett Stidham on the Raiders and He didn't look good. He never looked good anywhere he's been at. He's a backup at best, a third stringer ah probably for most teams. What?
00:50:29
Speaker
Bro, come on. Just because he's starting for your team, don't act like he should be starting. I know you did not just make a made a noise. What? I know you did not just do that. He's not that good. Sean Payton just said last week that he could be starting for several teams in the league. That's not true. That's not true. and so Your parents said Santa Claus was real until you realized he wasn't. So what's that supposed to mean?
00:50:49
Speaker
Go ahead, Omar. You don't want to throw up right now, Omar. i don't yeah i dont Who is he starting for the Jets? Like, who cares? Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. For the Raiders. For the Raiders, for the Jets, for the fucking, I don't know, the worst teams in the league. He ain't starting for good teams, Jake. It's just not happening.
00:51:07
Speaker
um But that's why I bring you on the show. I like you doing that. I like i like your crazy opinions. That's why we bring you on because you're a hot take for a reason. But Drake May is the better quarterback. And Peach has talked about this a lot, how he can become one of the youngest quarterbacks. We talked about that draft class, ah you know, with, you know, unfortunately, Bo Nix getting hurt. May is looking to become the second youngest youngest quarterback to start a Super Bowl at the age of 23, while ah the Broncos are trying to become the first team since 1992 Bills to win playoff games with two different QBs in the same postseason.
00:51:43
Speaker
So you've got those things to look at. Drake may, as long as he plays a clean game here, y'all, I believe that they don't have any issues. um He's really good when pressured and when blitzed. He averaged a second NFL, second best 5.5 yards per drop back. Now, that being said, we know he is playing Denver, the second best rushing defense in the league. Yeah.
00:52:11
Speaker
I'm sorry, they got the best sack record, right? Yeah, the best sack team, but second best rush in terms of yardage. But yes, you got it. They did. They had 68 sacks on the season. Most, you're correct. And Drake May was sacked 57 times this season. Offensive line being a little bit of an issue there. Will Campbell, somebody we talked about earlier.
00:52:33
Speaker
Reese mentioned earlier um might be an issue. he He's not able to make it back. The storms are too bad here. I'm surprised mine is holding up. But he mentioned Will Campbell earlier. Will Campbell has ah ah given up three sacks and two strip sacks these playoffs.
00:52:48
Speaker
He's going to to go up against Nick Bonito and Drake. you I mean, drake ah Jake. I don't know why he called you Drake. Jake and Drake. Nick Bonito, you've talked about him a lot. and He is a really, really good player. So,
00:53:02
Speaker
um With Denver blitzing at the highest rate as well, 34% this season, we'll see if Drake May can handle that pressure today. Aside from that, when you look at the other side of things, the Patriots, lockdown cornerback.
00:53:17
Speaker
ah Mentioned plenty of times here. Cumber D has mentioned in the past few times this week, Christian Gonzalez. Then you got Patrick Sertain on the other side. So the cornerback situations are going to be lockdown. Down coverage today, especially with the weather. They're expecting ah maybe a possibility of a little bit of snow today. I don't know, Jake, if you've heard that or not. I haven't checked the updated weather. That was yesterday when I looked.
00:53:42
Speaker
ah But we know that Denver is a mile high above sea level. um And y'all. Better have some oxygen tanks. And y'all, here's a couple here's a couple ah significant things here, significant ah points.
00:53:55
Speaker
First of all, the Broncos league best nine and one at home. Nine and one at home this season. That's crucial. How many those games that did Stidham win?
00:54:07
Speaker
None. None. No, you're right. You're completely right. How dare you? You're completely right. So I just wanted to mention, though, they do have that home field advantage, and it might be because, right, you got get those options. are apparently undefeated at 0-8.
00:54:19
Speaker
Well, another thing about that is the Pacs and Broncos have both advanced to this game, if we remember, by drawing defensive pass interference penalties at the end of the last game. Well, check this. Here's your sports professor's fact. Referee Alex Kemp's regular season crew that's officiating this game threw the seventh most flags for defensive pass interference. So we could see a game end today again defensive pass interference. I hate That being said, I have the Broncos 24, Denver Broncos 10, because they scoring shit. So they're playing each other? They're playing each other?
00:54:58
Speaker
The Broncos was Denver, huh? Yeah. Oh, my bad. New England 24, Broncos 10. Thank you for that. New England 24, Broncos 10. Hey, Omar said it right according to Hot Take Jake, because the only way the Broncos could lose according to him is if they beat themselves.
00:55:14
Speaker
