We’re back. Real Football returns to break down all six playoff games this weekend.

What a joy to talk ball with Jim Monos, our Super Bowl champion scout.

Wild Card Weekend always brings madness. Favre to Sharpe. Music City Miracle. Jerry Rice fumbled. “We want the ball and we’re going to score.” Niners-Giants. Tony Romo’s butterfingers. Beast Quake. Tebowmania. Rodgers vs. Warner. The Comeback. We can fully expect theatrics Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Secure your beverage of choice and clear the calendar.

Sorry, kids. No Bluey this weekend.

You know where we’ve got to start the show: Bills at Jaguars. It’s been Super Bowl or Bust for a while in Western New York. That’s the reality of the situation when you’re quarterbacked by a future Hall of Famer. These Bills could certainly lose to a solid Jags club on the road. These Bills could also go scorched earth behind a reigning MVP, the NFL’s rushing champ and win the whole damn thing. We try to make sense of this team at this time.

(Spoiler: You’ll want to stick around for talk on the long-term direction of the Bills at the end of this week’s show.)

We also dissect everything Rams-Panthers, Packers-Bears, 49ers-Eagles, Chargers-Patriots and Texans-Steelers.

Drake Maye — a unique talent — is on an MVP trajectory. Justin Herbert faces his latest show-me game.

You all know what I think about this savage Texans defense from our latest project. It’s an unapologetically suffocating bunch. Now, you can get Monos’ take. He forecasts a Steeler surprise Monday night. (Of course just a few weeks after we all killed this team, right?)

Go Long is fueled by all of YOU. I cannot thank everyone enough for reading, listening, watching and sharing with a friend.

New here? We’d love to have you join our community.
