What are the latest headlines for the NFL Divisional Round?
all right there he is luke wilson what's up luke how we doing i'm living large here boys living large i'm excited for today obviously noodles and i we've been we've been in talks all day we've been in talks all day we've been grinding numbers and big moment here very big moment all right um what do you make of sam darnold showing up on the injury report It's a bit worrisome. I thought the whole thing was just handled a little strangely. It's like, okay, so we tweaked the oblique, I believe. Is that what they're officially calling it? And then just like the media availability. I don't love it. I don't love the whole thing, but I got a feeling the Seahawks will be okay.
Oh, is that right? Okay, you feel good about the Seahawks.
How is Sam Darnold's injury affecting the Seahawks' chances?
Interesting. Played some mind games here, early noodles of playing mind games. Very interesting. I love it. Very interesting. Well, I mean, injuries are a huge part of it, right? It sounds like Ed Oliver, I think, has been activated for the Bills, so that's a big boost on the defensive side. And Nico Collins, I believe, out for the Texans. That's a huge hit on the offensive side. Like we're week two in the playoffs, but it's a war of attrition, right?
What makes Josh Allen a playoff-level quarterback?
Like how many guys can stay upright?
Especially at this time of the year, it's kind of like the season resets, it's the playoffs, but the body doesn't get that reset. For a lot of these teams, not obviously Seattle or Denver, but it's been a grind getting to this point. I look at a team like the Rams as well. They had to fight their way down the stretch. They're trying to win the division. They lose out on that. They get in, you think, oh, they've got to lay up against the Panthers. That game was wildly close. you have to apply across the country there i get to talk about the carolina game it's uh... it's an interesting ordeal you know and uh... it'll be fascinating even buffalo here as much as last week you know they want it was a tough game jacksonville gave him a lot of problems kind of came right down the wild walk wire josh allen played really well and now listen you're going to do what denver
What are the implications of injuries on team performances in the playoffs?
It's going to be tough, boys. I know you're going to pick Buffalo, but it's a tough one.
I wanted to ask you, and I'm just going to keep this general because this is for the fans, not for anything else involved in this show. What are your thoughts on Buffalo visiting Denver? Go ahead.
I think if you watch Buffalo last week, Josh Allen right now is just playing out of his mind. He's been like that for a lot of the year. What I get nervous about with Buffalo, and this is true transparency, not for the show. Last week, I actually thought that they'd be tough, but I thought they would win. the battle in the trenches and eventually break Jacksonville's run defense and pop a few big ones.
What strategies do teams need to implement for playoff success?
That did not happen. What surprised me last week was how comfortable and how efficient Josh was operating inside the pocket. And where I get nervous for Buffalo this week is they're now facing the number two rush defense And if that run game is as non-existent as it was last week, I can say with almost 100% certainty, I'll say 99, that it will not be as easy throwing the football against this secondary with this pass rush. Their defensive backs are unbelievable. I would put Sertan as the best cornerback in the game. And their pass rush is the best pass rush in the game. So that's going to cause Josh to have to really do a lot of things off schedule, which he can do. He can definitely do. We've all seen it a million times.
How do the Bills match up against the Broncos in this playoff round?
But it's not really a great strategy when it comes to margin of error going into a game. So as boring as this sounds, Odov, They need to establish the run. That's just the reality of the situation. I think if they get jammed like they did last week with their run game, I don't think they're going to win this game. Now, I'm not saying they need to run for $1.60, but if they can hover right around that, let's call it low 90s to above 10 mark, I like Buffalo.
There he is, John Lennon. How are we feeling, Al's brother?
