014 - What if the Seahawks had run the ball in Super Bowl XLIX?

In Super Bowl XLIX, with the title on the line in the final minute, rather than running it in with Marshawn Lynch, Russell Wilson threw an interception at the goal line, sealing another Super Bowl victory for Tom Brady. The call has been questioned heavily ever since. Did Wilson audible the play to play hero ball? What would be his legacy with back-to-back titles? What about Pete Carroll's legacy? That plus we discuss how differently the Eagles/49ers NFC Championship game would have looked if Brock Purdy hadn't gotten hurt on the first drive.

013 - What if the Bills had squib kicked with 13 seconds left?

In January 2022, the Bills and Chiefs played one of the most epic finishes to a 4th quarter with four scores in the final two minutes.

With two timeouts in hand, Patrick Mahomes would lead a miraculous drive in 13 seconds to send the game to overtime, where the Chiefs would prevail. In this episode we discuss what may have happened if the Bills had squib kicked and forced time off the clock? Could they have won the Super Bowl? That plus our Super Bowl picks and what we would do with a Lamar Jackson contract.
