Backseat Quarterbacks

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS VS. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS GAME ON!

Greg, Darren & Sterling talk about the big game and preview the damn thing with the cantor of 3 bulls in an antique china shop! They give their picks (I BET you can guess who is picking who) and then jump into their favorite props and ohhhh do they have a lot of favorite props! Enjoy the big game everybody!

Darren is sick but powering through! Can't say the same for GREG! We talk about a bunch of things mainly the hall of fame and coaches because next week we start our SB preview. Don't say we don't feed the fans! This is charity!

Sterling is live on site in Denver where he battled the frigid weather, frostbite, hypothermia, and a blizzard to see his beloved Patriots make the Super Bowl revenging the loss against the Broncos from 2016 that he was at as well. He is very happy (of course!!). Darren who is budgeting much smarter was not on the scene in Seattle to watch the NFC Championship and Greg is in Italy so we had nobody on scene to discuss the Seahawks vs. Rams game however we both watched it and we have takes. What a great game. Super Bowl 60 is set. We are getting a rematch of Super Bowl 49 but these teams are so much different. Enjoy a very fun episode of a very happy fella and a very supportive friend and co-host!

WE ARE IN THE FINAL 4 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! 3 games of football remain and my favorite team and Greg's favorite team remain how bout that! Your favorite cohost will be on site in Denver getting footage of the AFC Championship, Darren will be watching on a TV, and Greg is doing an spaghetti cooking class in a very underrated American-Italian town... Yelm, Washington!

We discuss all our favorite props and preview both games! We are ready I cannot wait to watch these game!

In this episode of Backseat Quarterbacks, host Sterling is joined by Darren Gregory to discuss the excitement surrounding Conference Championship weekend in football. The conversation kicks off with a light-hearted banter about their teams' performances, particularly focusing on the Packers' disappointing playoff exit. As they delve into the upcoming games, they analyze the matchups, including the Patriots against the Broncos and the Seahawks versus the Rams, sharing their predictions and insights on player performances and coaching strategies. The trio emphasizes the importance of defense and the potential impact of key players, while also engaging in humorous exchanges about their personal experiences and opinions on the teams involved.

Sterling is joined by a very special first time guest on this SUPER JAM PACKED BONUS episode of BSQB!! Introducing Matt St. Jean (@mattstdream on Twitter/X)! Matt is a member of The Pats Nation Pod with CLNS Media and a contributing writer for Pats Pulpit.

We spend the episode breaking down the Patriots reaching the AFCCG after a long 7 year drought! It feels good to be back! Before patting our boys on the back we give some finishing takes on the Divisional matchup against Houston, and talk about what's needed on both sides of the ball to beat this Broncos team and avoid being upset in Denver like in past matchups at this mile-high venue. At the end we discuss our Heated Rival (no relation to the Amazon Prime show) Buffalo Bills firing Sean McDermott and where they go from here after another disappointing end to the season for Josh Allen and Co.

Very fun episode and thank you to Matt for joining!

Another Weekend of great NFL football is concluded and we have a final four! Denver vs. New England, Seattle vs. Los Angeles! I can't believe this is the culmination of the season but we are here. 3 games of football left to decide the NFL season BUT before that we talk about all the action that lead to the final 4. Josh Allen, what a catch is, Bo Nix getting hurt, Seattles insane destruction of the 49ers, the sloppy Texans and Patriots game, and the coldest game of the week in Chicago. 2 OT games were had! Enjoy what AI wrote to describe this episode btw (wtf is this) -

In this episode of Backseat Quarterbacks, Sterling and Darren dive into the thrilling conclusion of the Land Man Season Two finale and the recent NFL playoff games. They express mixed feelings about the season, noting that while the finale was exciting, the overall quality of the season declined. The duo discusses the standout performances from the weekend, particularly the overtime games, and the implications for the final four teams heading into the championship round. They also touch on the struggles of the Buffalo Bills, particularly Josh Allen's performance, and the impact of injuries on teams like the 49ers and Broncos. The conversation highlights the emotional rollercoaster of being a fan, the significance of quarterback performances, and the unpredictable nature of playoff football. In this episode, Darren and Sterling dive deep into the recent NFL playoff games, focusing on the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. Sterling predicts that the Seahawks will triumph over the Rams, citing their strong coaching and player potential, while also reminiscing about the legendary Legion of Boom defense. The conversation shifts to the Patriots, where they discuss the team's resurgence and the impressive performance of their defense, which has been pivotal in their playoff success. They also analyze the struggles of quarterback CJ Stroud and the Texans, debating whether he can be the franchise quarterback moving forward. The episode wraps up with a discussion on the Rams' performance and the implications for their upcoming match against the Seahawks, emphasizing the importance of home-field advantage in the playoffs.

We are down to our final 8 teams and all 4 of these games are doozies we decided to bring back Benny to co-host after Sterling got drinks with the guy and showed up an hour late to recording but he brought the gift of friendship with him!

The fellas talk Bills vs. Broncos, 49ers vs. Seahawks, Texans vs. Patriots, and Rams vs. Bears better than anyone doing this kind of thing in the world and there are a lot of people doing it! We then transition to talking about the Mike Tomlin and Steelers parting of ways and the coaching vacancies and who is going where! Darren goes crazy talking about his French coach. Enjoy!

I think this was the best weekend of NFL football they could have asked for? Every game was one score late into the 4th quarter except for Sunday Night. We had drama, upsets (Underdogs won outright on 3/5 games and covered 4/5), and everything in between. All 5 games delivered and we talk about all of that AND more!

We have playoff football baby I don't think anyone can ask for more! This is what we have all been waiting for! I don't want to make reading this description long so enjoy the episode and enjoy the games!

And with that the 2025-2026 NFL Regular Season is OVAAAA! The playoffs are SETTTTT! And Sterling, Darren, and Greg's teams are all postseason BOUNDDDDDD!

A good year was had and a good year shall hopefully continue for us all! We talk about the haunting end to the Ravens year, with their rookie kicker Cundiffing it! Aaron Rodgers had a glass of vintage vino in him as he was throwing to absolute no names and almost had 300 yards. We talk every single game and can't believe some of the names that played QB in the NFL in 2026, it was fun.

Things turn serious when we talk about what could be the biggest robbery since the Louvre was broken a few months ago, or The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Heist in 1990?? If Matt Stafford wins the MVP over Drake Maye we will lose a piece of our nation that I fear we can never get back!

Enjoy a great pod everybody!
