Latest Episodes:

🚨 Doug Pederson fired by the Eagles after 5 seasons and 1st Super Bowl title in franchise history - Emergency Podcast (Football 1/11) Jan 11, 2021

Show notes

Doug Pederson is out in Philadelphia. Wait, what!? Who saw this coming a week after Black Monday?On this emergency episode, Will Brinson is joined by Ryan Wilson, John Breech and producer Deebo to react to the surprise move by the Eagles. What does this signal about the future of Carson Wentz and the future of Howie Roseman? Pederson reportedly wasn't happy with control in Philly and that doesn't bode well for whoever fills the role next. Mike Kafka is a name that immediately emerged but also comes from the Andy Reid coaching tree, just like #DOUG. Would the Eagles pursue that route again? Would those attached with the Chiefs even be interested? The Pick Six Superfriends continue to evaluate where Pederson could land and where the Eagles slot on head coaching vacancy rankings. Join us as we sound the 🚨 !

NFL Super Wild Card Sunday Recap: Browns stun Steelers, Lamar Jackson gets over playoff hump, Saints slime Bears (Football 1/11) Jan 11, 2021

Show notes

We had streaks broken, narratives reversed and Spongebob Squarepants all on one Super Wild Card Sunday! On this episode, Will Brinson is joined by Ryan Wilson and John Breech to break down all the action starting with the Browns shocking defeat of the Steelers (3:00). Wilson is in rare form as he reacts to the loss and specifically a really bad decision by Mike Tomlin. Will this be Ben Roethlisberger's final game in a Pittsburgh uniform? And can Cleveland keep it close vs. the Chiefs? All that and more coming off the last game of the night. The Pick Six Superfriends also focus on the Ravens topping the Titans in the first game of the day (30:15). Lamar Jackson wasn't perfect, but he was able to secure his first playoff victory with a good amount of help from the Baltimore defense. Another blatantly bad call in this game from Mike Vrabel, but was it worse than Tomlin's choice to punt? The guys lookahead to the Ravens matchup with the Bills in the Divisional Round before moving onto the Saints surging past the Bears (49:30). The Nickelodeon broadcast was the big winner here as New Orleans advanced and sent Chicago into an offseason in which they'll have a decision to make on Mitch Trubisky. As they always do, Will, Ryan and John close this recap with winners & losers from all the Sunday action.

NFL Super Wild Card Saturday Recap: Bills break streak, Bucs barely beat Heinicke, Rams eliminate Seahawks (Football 1/10) Jan 10, 2021

Show notes

We still can't believe there were 3 NFL playoff games in a single day. To celebrate Super Wild Card Saturday, the Pick Six podcast featuring Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and John Breech live streamed the recap episode. So, be on the lookout for more live content on Twitch and YouTube. If you missed it live that's okay, because the Superfriends are still here to recap all the games starting with Washington nearly pulling off the upset of Tom Brady and the Bucs (3:00). Taylor Heinicke was announced as the starter just hours before the game and was super impressive in relief of Alex Smith. Meanwhile, Tampa is moving on, but how far can they advance? The Bills are another team that lived to see another week of playoff football, after being outplayed for most of the day by the Colts (19:00). Buffalo won their first playoff game in 25 years behind Josh Allen and some poor decisions from Frank Reich. Will Philip Rivers return in 2021? And the Rams handled the Seahawks with ease that certainly was expected with John Wolford at QB and definitely not with Jared Goff coming on in replacement (46:00). The guys evaluate Russell Wilson's poor performance and answer if there should be any questions about Pete Carroll's job security. Lastly, winners & losers from Saturday, dished out by Will, Ryan and John.

Bold Playoff Predictions: Cinderella Colts, Bullish on the Bears, Aging Quarterbacks Time to Shine (Football 1/7) Jan 07, 2021

Show notes

Everyone can make predictions. But not everyone can make BOLD predictions. That's what Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and John Breech are here to do on this episode. The Pick Six Superfriends make some moderately unexpected and some borderline outlandish predictions for the Wild Card games this weekend (5:45) as well as the postseason as a whole (33:00). What is the most likely underdog to prevail on Saturday or Sunday? Is it the team with no nickname, the Bears, the Colts, or someone else? As we progress through the pod, let's just say there's a heavy emphasis on older QBs achieving a lot this January/February.

Kevin Stefanski can't coach vs. Steelers due to COVID-19 & can we please stop the Eagles outrage now? (Football 1/6) Jan 06, 2021

Show notes

The first *pew-pew-pew* Brady Quinn Football Show of 2021 is here and it's a loaded one. Host Will Brinson and Brady address some rumors about Pete Prisco to start the podcast before getting to the real football stuff. The guys take a further look at GM and coach vacancies across the league and evaluate what organizations should aim for as they fill those jobs (4:00). Brady then dismisses most of the outrage directed at Doug Pederson and the Eagles over Sunday's game vs. Washington (20:30). BQ approaches the argument from a player's perspective and notes contradictions from the critics of what transpired. The Carson Wentz saga continues, as the guys take a look at the mental side of the once-promising QB, rather than his physical limitations from this season (29:00) Lastly, the Browns just can't catch a break (37:00). After an 18-year playoff drought Cleveland is finally back in the postseason, but will be without head coach Kevin Stefanski in the Wild Card Round vs. the Steelers due to COVID-19. Brady offers a glimmer of hope for desperate Browns fans and breaks down the impact of missing a head coach on game day.

The Chargers have Justin Herbert, but the Jaguars have the #1 overall pick. What's better at this point?

🚨 Anthony Lynn fired by the Chargers after 4 seasons - Emergency Podcast (Football 1/4) Jan 04, 2021

Show notes

In a mildly surprising move, the Chargers have parted ways with head coach Anthony Lynn. The team surged late in the season, so we weren't sure if this emergency podcast was coming, but ultimately in-game mistakes cost Lynn his job. Will Brinson breaks down the decision and what plagued Lynn's LA tenure and speaks to the desirability of this new opening. With Justin Herbert as the franchise QB, the Chargers gig has to be one of the most attractive on the market. But who will fulfill that role? Names are dropped on this emergency episode.

🚨 Jaguars fire Doug Marrone, could they now target Urban Meyer? - Emergency Podcast (Football 1/4) Jan 04, 2021

Show notes

A few seasons ago, Doug Marrone had the Jaguars on the doorstep of the Super Bowl. Now, he's without a job. Jacksonville decided to part ways with Marrone on Monday morning, so Will Brinson and John Breech gathered to break it down on the latest emergency podcast. The guys look back at his up-and-down tenure, before looking ahead to his replacement. Urban Meyer is a name that is gaining a lot of steam, but does he make the most sense? Brinson and Breech offer other potential suitors with an emphasis on truly offensive-minded coaches.
