Season 2 Episode 24 - Seahawks Crush Patriots in Super Bowl LV

The Seattle Seahawks just hoisted their second Lombardi Trophy, and it wasn't even close. Join Gary, Jared, Rick, and Frank as they dissect a Super Bowl that turned into a defensive masterclass and an absolute nightmare for New England's offensive line. The numbers tell a brutal story: 21 sacks allowed in the postseason (an NFL record), 14 pressures surrendered by rookie left tackle Will Campbell in a single game, and a quarterback in Drake May who looked like a deer in headlights from the opening drive. Meanwhile, Kenneth Walker bulldozed his way to MVP honors, becoming the first running back to claim the award since Terrell Davis in 1997. But beyond the carnage, there's a Hollywood ending worth celebrating. Sam Darnold the former Jets bust who bounced from Carolina to San Francisco to Minnesota to Seattle, just won a Super Bowl without committing a single turnover in four playoff games. Not bad for a guy everyone had written off. The crew also dives into whether we're witnessing NFC dominance not seen since the 1980s, debates the hottest free agency moves coming in March, and delivers their way-too-early Super Bowl 61 predictions that'll either age like fine wine or spoiled milk. Plus, Patriots fan John Joings calls in to process his grief in real-time and somehow still finds a silver lining. It's the season finale, folks. Buckle up, say your goodbyes, and we'll see you in April for draft coverage.

Season 2 Episode 23 - Can Anyone Stop New England's Impossible Run?

Four wins. That's all the New England Patriots had last season. Now they're playing for a championship against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl 60, and somehow, the hosts can't agree on who's going to win. This week's End Zone dives headfirst into the most unpredictable Super Bowl matchup in years. Drake May versus Sam Darnold. Mike Vrabel versus Mike McDonald. A defensive slugfest that might leave fans arguing about whether low-scoring games are actually beautiful football. The crew goes position-by-position, breaking down everything from the running back battles to the special teams wild cards who could flip the entire game on a single return. But it's not just X's and O's. There's heated debate about Tom Brady's controversial dual role as Raiders owner and broadcaster. Is he playing by a different set of rules? The Bill Belichick Hall of Fame snub still has everyone fired up. And as the gang previews NFL Honors, they don't hold back on who deserves MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, and which legends keep getting passed over in Canton. With the hosts split down the middle on their Super Bowl picks and one bringing some personal stakes to the table, this one hits different. Will New England complete the greatest single-season turnaround in NFL history? Or will Seattle's defense and its revamped coaching staff spoil the party?

Season 2 Episode 21 - McDermott Madness, Championship Chaos, and the Coach That Got Away

Just when you thought you'd seen it all this NFL postseason, the league drops a bombshell. Sean McDermott, the man who led the Buffalo Bills to the playoffs eight out of nine seasons, is out. The Endzone crew doesn't hold back on this head-scratching decision, debating whether the NFL has completely lost its mind when it comes to coaching expectations. Gary, Jared, Rick, Frank, and Jon dive deep into the coaching carousel, with Baltimore Ravens emerging as the frontrunner to land McDermott's services. The playoff breakdown is absolutely electric. From that gut-wrenching Bills-Broncos overtime thriller (complete with one of the most controversial catch-or-interception calls you'll ever see) to Bo Nix's devastating ankle injury that changes everything for Denver, no moment goes unanalyzed. The crew also tackles the Patriots' defensive masterclass against CJ Stroud's turnover-filled nightmare in Houston, Seattle's demolition of San Francisco, and Caleb Williams' absolutely bonkers 50-yard scramble-and-heave that forced overtime against the Rams in the snow. Plus, breaking news hits mid-show as the Dolphins name their new head coach, the guys make the case that Josh Allen deserves the same scrutiny Lamar Jackson gets, and the Lock It Up picks are on the line heading into championship weekend. Can Jared Stidham pull off the impossible against his former team? Will Drake Maye and the Patriots complete their Cinderella run? Strap in, football fans.

Season 2 Episode 20 - Wild Card Mayhem: Eagles Implode, Rodgers Rises, and the Reporter Who Won Our Hearts

Wild Card Weekend delivered everything we could have asked for, and the Endzone crew is here to sort through the wreckage. The Philadelphia Eagles offense completely self-destructed against a patchwork 49ers squad held together by duct tape and Kyle Shanahan's genius, with AJ Brown's dropped passes becoming the painful exclamation point on a season of "we told you so." Meanwhile in Green Bay, Frank watched his Packers blow an 18-point lead to the Bears because apparently no lead is ever safe when you're wearing green and gold. But it wasn't all doom and gloom. Josh Allen put on an MVP clinic in Jacksonville, delivering Buffalo's first road playoff win since 1992 and making everyone forget about his nearly broken finger. John Jones called in sick but still managed to gloat about his Patriots steamrolling the Chargers 16-3, proving that defense and a healthy dose of confidence can carry you deep into January. The gang also dives into the John Harbaugh sweepstakes, debates whether Aaron Rodgers has found his football joy again in Pittsburgh, and previews tonight's Steelers vs. Texans showdown. Plus, a Jacksonville reporter named Lynn Jones Turpin delivers the most wholesome postgame moment of the weekend, reminding a heartbroken Liam Cohen that sometimes a kind word matters more than another hot take. Grab a cold one, settle in, and join Gary, Jared, Rick, and Frank as they break down every wild twist from an unforgettable weekend of playoff football.

Season 2 Episode 19 - Kicks, Chaos & Black Monday: The NFL Coaching Bloodbath

What a way to close out the regular season! The Endzone crew, Garry, Jared, birthday boy Rick, Frank, and Jon, dive headfirst into the absolute madness that unfolded this weekend, starting with that Ravens-Steelers instant classic that had everyone screaming at their TVs. Chris Boswell misses an extra point. Tyler Loop shanks a 44-yarder that would've won the division. Two elite kickers both choking under the brightest lights? You can't script this stuff. Then came Black Monday, and oh boy, did the axe swing hard. Pete Carroll, Kevin Stefanski, Raheem Morris, and Jonathan Gannon... all shown the door within hours. The guys debate which of these gigs is actually worth taking (spoiler: not Las Vegas) and whether any of these franchises are just cursed at this point. Plus, the crew locks in their Wild Card predictions and boldly declares who's punching their ticket to the Super Bowl. Spoiler alert: absolutely nobody agrees, and Frank still thinks kickers shouldn't exist. The playoffs are here, folks. Buckle up!
