Ep. 55: Bracing for the Chaos

2 hours 6 minutes

The wait is no more, friends. Playoff time is upon us and how we got here so quickly, we haven’t the faintest idea. This week we said goodbye to 18 teams (some in more dismaying fashions than others!) and press onward to the most tense, yet most enjoyable period of a football season. Before we fully turn the page, we have our usual weekly business to get to as well, so get ready for a jam-packed episode!

Are the Bills truly a team of destiny? (0:00)

Is... is Lamar Jackson done in Baltimore? (5:20)

Wrapping up a Dan Campbell win that had us wishing we could insert the Lions into the playoffs after the fact (14:42)

Some coaches got fired and we want to talk about it (23:33)

Who had the most disappointing seasons? Let’s do some autopsies… (31:02)

Game balls, including offense (48:52), defense (59:48) and special teams (1:03:43)

Our last full slate of uniform matchups to choose from (1:10:40)

Head-scratchers that spanned the full range of teams and their finishing records (1:14:52)

And finally, our first-ever PLAYOFF BRACKET SELECTION! (1:33:45)

(Yes, I said on air that there would be no timestamps but I ended up snagging them. You’re welcome, ily! -Jackson)
