NGL, the offensive playcalling/scheme for the Eagles since Steichen left have been atrocious. Idk if its because Sirianni is too involved, or what, but ever since Steichen left the playcalling on offense is so basic, so predictable, and they stick with concepts that never work. Hurts had his FIRST CAREER pure under-center dropback pass (no play action) and it was an immediate completion for 10 yards, and they never went back to it. I'm so tired of this shit Ben Johnson would have a FIELD DAY if he was the playcaller for the Eagles.
It’s the playoffs it’s literally impossible for mahomes to have a bad game since cheetah left
all time thumbnail alongside a Mathew sponhour masterclass? we're eating good rn
31:46 Lamar is a counter punch, Allen is a counter punch, but the chiefs don’t have one? Idk maybe mahomes is the counter punch!???
Hot take from blaiden guys, mahomes wont throw 4 picks in the divisional round. I’m sorry but blaiden was pissing me off this episode, he says the Steelers aren’t good at drafting then 5 minutes later he’s saying “well it’s not that they’re bad at drafting “ you literally just said that. And he always interrupts to say the most obvious shit that we all Know like bro I’m normally a blaiden defender but goddamn his takes were awful during this
Theo coping with the loss by making up drama because of a motivational book lmao
Ngl Tomlin to a team like the Jaguars would have me excited for them as a franchise.
Diggs known playoff faller
Bro blaiden once again with awful ball knowledge the Steelers r great at drafting their worse pick was Kenny Pickett and that seemed liked a forced one since they needed a qb and he was at Pitt otherwise they are great I stg blaiden just be saying shit
Btw Omar khans first drafts was 2023. Our old GM picked Najee and Pickett lmfao
i dont think theres enough channels impersonating matthew sponhour on youtube
I like the YT videos over tik tok anyways
Todd Bowles has gotten a playoff win out of baker mayfield
Brian daboll got a playoff win out of Daniel jones
Kevin o Connell has made Sam darnold look franchise qb worthy
Mike vrabel got playoff wins out of Ryan Tannehill
Mike zimmer got a playoff win out of case keenum
Mike mularkey won a road Playoff game with Marcus Mariota
Doug Marrone upset the Steelers with Blake bortles and nearly beat the pats in foxborough
Why are we still making excuses for Tomlin that quarterback is the main issue why we haven’t won a playoff game over the same timeframe all of those have happened
Holy Matterclass

Justin Herbert plays like a robot programmed by his coaches. He doesn't put the game into his own hands as much as he should when the gameplan isn't working, and that's been a big reason for both of his playoff collapses. The playoffs are where teams prepare more than ever and counter the calls. When the play malfunctions, Herbert.exe stops working too.
At least TRY to improvise with your incredible talents or change the play at the line if you don't like the look. It's so frustrating.
Why did Blaiden start the episode by staring into my soul?
INSANE Thumbnail LMFAOOO, it was definitely his fault let's be fr though
Theo refusing to look at the camera masterclass
Is Mike Tomlin just an African American Mike McCarthy
watching love and hurts play this sunday made me understand the qb recession talks
I think there’s some truth to Matt’s QB rant, but I think the real problem is great QBs tend to mask a lot of problems that would otherwise receive more attention. It’s just hard to win in the NFL without one, if you do you win COTY, and even then it’s nearly impossible to do consistently.
Packers D stepped up but yeah Love played messy as heck. Makes me think he is as skilled as almost any QB but he lacks decision making and fundamentals. He plays too much at his own pace rather than matching what’s happening in real time.
I liked the whole ‘bunch WR2 committee approach’ but this doesn’t work it seems for a QB in Love that hasn’t fully found consistency leading/overcoming regardless of drops, mistakes. A certified WR1 would help the offense bring the energy right out the gate in 1st halfs, that’s what this passing offense is lacking. Ready from the jump playmaker that Love can rely on as he polished his game. Watson showed glimpses but got injured which really affected the offense the past 3 weeks, and Reed struggled with drops and rediscovering his momentum from early season.
This Eagles game showed our pass rush was just non-existent a lot of times so an edge is brutally needed as well but outside of the go ahead TD after the kickoff fumble, the Eagles only scored once more and had a bunch of field goals. DC Hafley did pretty darn well.
Plan should be to get a DL/DE 1st round then CB right after 2nd, & sign a WR1 caliber player in FA. Didn’t see much draft evaluations talking about great WRs this year.
Lamar was not inserted as the starter in 2018 because of a coaching decision. Flacco sustained a hip injury so Lamar was thrown in. Quite possible that Harbs loses his job if Flacco didn’t get hurt.
51:50 Matt’s acting like they didn’t trade up for 2 qbs. Your check gets some say there for sure
Theo getting a Broncos job would make me break things
1:27:11 Theo answer to this is actually so funny, because in the 2020 playoffs, specifically against the Ravens, Vrabel punted on 4th and 2 on the Ravens 40 yard line, while down 17-13 in the 4th quarter. HE DID THE EXACT SAME THING IN A MUCH WORSE SITUATION TO DO IT IN LMAO
It’s crazy how much of Theos hate on tiktok and Twitter could be avoided if they just listened to the podcast
To the AJ Brown book thing, he's read in games before (where he had 10+ targets). I genuinely think it's just something AJ does for his mental health, which he's openly discussed struggling with before. But hey, I'm not in that locker room.
1:09:17 has to be trolling
Blaiden has zero ball knowledge 😂just copies Theo’s takes
I’d rather my team be relevant and have a fun lil streak going then being ass, the chances of the Steelers being the chiefs and pats, or even the rams/ravens/GB in the next 10 yrs is so slim if you move off tomlin, so instead of turning into the browns/raiders/jags, keep tomlin around milk him for everything he got then prepare for the long voyage to relevancy
You guys help me get through my professors busy work. Appreciate you.
blaiden saying the reason steelers are stuck in mid is bc they draft bad then immediately getting proven wrong is hilarious. “well the chiefs have mahomes” THERE. that is why the steelers are stuck in mid. i thought this is common knowledge why are we having a discussion to figure out hmm why aren’t the steelers as good as the ravens or bills or chiefs, oh it’s bc their qb is way worse. wow who could’ve figured that out
Stafford > Herbert
Matt's opinion on the Steelers, as a Steelers fan, is SPOT ON. Tired of other fan blaming left and right.
HALO REACH MENTIONED!?!?
after watching theo and matt legimately get mad while arguing the tomlin situation i’ve realized i actually want more of that. you guys like agree too much w each other bc you throw up the most basic and obvious opinions. it’s actually entertaining to see this unlike every other part of this pod(i disagreed w matt heavily too but still)
matt’s take that coaches get fired when there’s too much bad qb play is so braindead. like no shit? if ur consistently putting out shitty offenses nd not moving on/incapable of finding the franchise qb why WOULDNT you get fired? like theo said bad qb play and shitty offenses aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive but that’s where you see the separation from good coaches and GREAT coaches in todays league so that scenario is rare
51:32 tell that to shanahan. ik some dumb niner fans would say he should be gone but that wouldn’t ever actually happen. or o’connell.
Jayden Daniels is who’s moving into the top 5 lol. Herbert just isn’t close. The results and the excuses speak for themselves.
Theo said the packers passing offense was the most explosive in the league with Watson??
Man isn’t that your team.. what season were you watching
He literally didn’t have one good game all season.. only 1 300 yard game..?
After the halfway point their entire strategy was to hide him and run Jacobs into the ground
Love is not good man. He’s had a few stretches of good, but herbert has more stretches of good than he does
As a Herbert and Love truther, I had a ROUGH weekend
theos payton over tomlin take is infuriating
tomlin has managed to rack up winning seasons with atrocious qb play since after 2018 this has literally never happened and apparently to theo this makes him mid since he somehow isn’t “maximizing his team” bc they can’t get out of the first round, but if Tomlin all the sudden starts pulling some fake punts he’s a great coach “maximizing his situation”
An absolute MATTSTERCLASS by Sponhour during the Steelers Ravens segment. Absolutely cooking the whole time
The thing with Belichick is not only did he only get one shot with Mac Jones, but he didn’t even want to draft him😭 he only got one shot with a qb those in the building knew he didn’t even want to draft
