Bob, I always watch the Golden State Warriors on my phone. Well, so much for you this year. But that hasn't been a good idea lately.
They're not very good.
No. But I was watching them periodically. Amidst a weekend of football that I don't know is comparable to anything I've ever seen football-wise. And the results speak to that. There's never been four games decided in the final minutes by that narrow of a score ever on a football weekend, a playoff weekend, before. So where would you like to begin here? Want to do this chronologically?
Yeah, why don't we go starting at 4.30 on Saturday, that first game, because that set the tone.
It really did, and I wasn't even going to watch this. I was doing other things on Saturday. It goes to show you.
You never know.
Did it become interesting? The Rams almost lost, and then they come back and win, and they're a favorite now in the second round going on the road. But what about that game? Did you gain newfound respect for Carolina? How did you feel about that one?

Chapter 2: What were the standout moments from the Rams vs. Panthers game?
Bryce Young showed that his arrow is pointed up. They also play a pretty good brand of defense, but they ran into a buzzsaw in the fourth quarter when they allowed some things to happen. Once Matthew Stafford gets rolling and Puka Nakua and his group of receivers, that's a tough, tough team to try to stop. He made a great throw to win the game to that tight end in the end zone.
It was a perfectly placed pass. So Carolina gave a good showing, but man, it was a pretty entertaining game, and I did not think it would be. I agree with you. I thought it was going to be, as the point spread suggested, a 10-point game.
It concerned me if I'm looking at the Rams as a Super Bowl team, but you know what? It seems to be a weird matchup for them. They already lost there, and they came through, and nobody cares. This is the NCAA tournament. This is survive and advance. And the Rams are pretty formidable.
And the only thing I disagree with you there, I'm not convinced that Carolina's an up-and-coming team just yet, and I'm certainly not convinced on Bryce Young. Carolina finished the season 8-10. I mean, he was 21 of 40. He made some big throws. I'll give him that. He's gutsy. But I'm not sure if I'm a Carolina fan. I'm thinking, yeah, next year's the year for us. I don't think they're very good.
I think they made a lot of progress this year. From where they were? Yeah, I guess. And I think they have, you know, their offensive backfield is a good one. I like them. Chuba Hubbard had to take a backseat to Dowdell, who came in, or Dowdell, however he says his name. He's a good player.
They have some players who can make a difference, and I think they're going to just add to that group, and I just think they're an up-and-coming team, especially in that division where there aren't many very good teams.
When you can pass the ball the way the Rams can, you're a threat to win the Super Bowl, period. That's why they were, against all odds, a real threat last year. And if they hadn't played in the snow in Philly, they might have been in the Super Bowl last year.
Is there a better receiver than Puka Nakua?
I couldn't believe he dropped that ball, but no, there's not many better ones.

Chapter 3: How did the Bears manage to overcome an 18-point deficit against the Packers?
Ed Oliver's return, quote, not out of the question for Bill's Broncos. How about that, Bob? They need as many people as they can get for that defense.
Oh, he's their best player.
That's their best player. And I say even if he has one arm, he should play.
I think Greg Rousseau is underrated. I think he does a pretty good job, given that he's never talked about. But when he gets in there, he shows up. He's all right. They really don't have a pass rush.
49ers 23 Eagles 19 I picked the Eagles in this game I guess the Eagles were broken I thought they'd put it together for the playoffs what are you doing in Philly because Nick Sirianni wants his best friend to call plays is that the problem there apparently that was a big problem and you know so if you make that
They don't have a lot of patience in Philadelphia. Jeffrey Lurie is capable of saying, you know what, you cost us, we're looking for another coach.
They're going to have a new offensive coordinator, 100%.
Oh, 100%. But I also thought A.J. Brown had some really potentially decent plays, big plays. You're not kidding. Something about him has changed. He's not the once dynamic player I thought he was.
The whole A.J. Brown story, last year they wanted us to believe he was opening a book and reading on the sidelines because he always does that. That was just normal. No, he was doing it because he wasn't getting the ball and he wanted everybody to look at him. That if I'm not going to do anything, I might as well read.

Chapter 4: What challenges did the Packers face during their losing streak?
Okay. I mean, I think win or die, go home playoff games are all pretty much written the same. You've got to get there.
Yeah, you can't say that a wild card playoff game is the same as a Super Bowl, though, Joe, right?
No, actually, I can. Okay. Because the stakes are the same. You win or you go home. At least you're already in the Super Bowl. When you're in the Super Bowl, you got there. Here, you're not even there yet. You're on the road in a hostile environment, taking a bad pitch out and getting blasted as you release the ball, and he throws it 39 yards on a dime.
But this isn't the conversation I intended to have, Bob. Are there any others?
No, but here's the thing about that, too. These teams, they go deep into preparation, and you do scout teams that have former quarterbacks playing other positions, and you know –
Is he a college quarterback, Jennings?
Yes.
Where did he play?
I forget.

Chapter 5: What were the key performances in the Bills vs. Jaguars game?
He was a real good quarterback in high school. I know that. So, that would be the other difference here. In Randall L., you had a legitimate and great college quarterback making the throw. Here, you had a college receiver who's been in the pros for a while making the throw. But I realize... You know, we're in Pittsburgh here, Bob, so the Randall-El play, and the Randall-El play was unbelievable.
I've said that the Randall-El pass was one of the top five passes in Super Bowl history, maybe top ten, period. It was unbelievable.
What are Antoine Randall-El's overall passing numbers in the pros?
158.3 passer rating. Perfect passer, I think.
How many attempts?
I think he has ridiculous numbers. We just talked about this last week because Josh Miller has the greatest passer rating in Steelers history. Yes, he does.

Chapter 6: How did Josh Allen's performance impact the Bills' playoff chances?
Randall L. did not have a perfect passer rating. Listen to this. In his career, he was 22 of 27 for 323 yards, six touchdowns, and no picks.
Yeah, it was really good.
156.1.
Secret weapon he was, and they utilized it at just the right time.
It was a great call. Garrow, your premian had a pretty good pass, Rob. I was reminded of somebody, right?
That was funny. That was one of the blooper plays you'll see over and over again. Poor Garrow.
Remember when they threw it to Tom Brady in a Super Bowl a couple years ago? It would have been like 90 right now for the Patriots.
Yeah, and he was frozen in time. In Philly. Wait, that happened the other day. Which quarterback got thrown a pass? Was it Herbert or May? It was May last night. I think it was May.
Yeah.
