Podcasts about NFC West

The Rams are double-digit favorites on Saturday in Carolina as we prepare for Wildcard Weekend, and teams that are double-digit favorites in the WC round are 12-1 in the last 13 games. This Rams team is getting healthy at the right time, and their aspirations are far above a wildcard win. Regardless, the Rams have to show up and get back to their winning ways. A commanding win vs. Carolina will alter how fans feel moving forward dramatically. But a loss? Could be one of the worst, if not THE worst in the Sean McVay era. We have all the faith in the world that the Rams will take care of business. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The highly anticipated winner-take-all Week 18 between the 49ers and Seahawks didn't quite live up to the hype. Seattle's defense stifled San Francisco's offense, as the Seahawks pulled out a 13-3 win to secure the NFC West title and the conference's No. 1 seed, while the 49ers now have a more difficult postseason path on the road. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss how the Seahawks thoroughly outplayed the 49ers from their potent rushing attack to their unrelenting pressure on the defensive line. Matt and Jennifer also discuss some silver-linings as the 49ers hit the road for the NFL playoffs and how some scenarios are more favorable than others.--(0:00) Week 18 regular-season finale didn't live up to the hype(1:30) Recalling last time 49ers scored three points or fewer(6:00) Purdy pressured by Seattle's D-line all night(7:30) 49ers looked slow and for good reason, playing third game in 13 days(11:00) Missed tackles were a huge issue for the 49ers in loss(16:00) Greg Papa, the voice of the 49ers, returns to radio booth(18:00) 49ers now must make improbable run during playoffs(20:00) Looking ahead to 49ers' possible first-round playoff opponents(25:00) 49ers' don't have much margin for error, but goal still attainable Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Join us as we celebrate the Seahawks defensive dominance on their way to victory and clinching of the NFC West title. We highlight the ineptitude of the 49ers offense that was considered one of the hottest in football coming into Week 18. But CMC and Purdy were shut down entirely thanks to relentless pressure from the Seahawks front. Nick Emmanwori stood out as he continues his campaign for defensive rookie of the year and Drake Thomas came up with a clutch turnover late in the game to help keep the Niners out of the end zone. The offense didn't need many points. They controlled the clock with Ken Walker and Zach Charbonnet balancing out an efficent game by Sam Darnold. The biggest critique was a missed touchdown opportunity that could have broken the 49ers spirit much earlier. We touch on the potential opponents the Seahawks could face in two weeks as the Packers, Rams, Niners and the NFC South champion all have potential to visit Seattle for the divisional round.   Join our Sea Hawkers Podcast Pickem League - free prizes for weekly winners.

The Rams are in a weird spot. If Seattle wins, the Rams own the 5th seed and would go play the winner of the NFC South (Panthers or Buccaneers). If the 49ers win, the Rams would fall to the 6th seed and would have to travel to Chicago or Philadelphia for the first round of the playoffs. REGARDLESS of what happens, Sean McVay decided that he wants to play the starters. Because this team needs it more than they ever have, and if they want to win it all, they need to start gelling again. Reinforcements are on their way, and the truth is: absolutely no one wants to see the Rams in the playoffs when they're fully healthy. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot break down the massive Seahawks–49ers matchup, laying out the stark difference between winning the NFC's top seed versus entering the playoffs as a road-bound wild card. They debate San Francisco's battered defense, Seattle's dominant defense, and whether Sam Darnold can rediscover the early-season form that once put him in MVP conversations—especially after scoring just 18 total first-half points over the last four games. Mitch floats a classic emotional hedge: bet the 49ers money-line so a Seahawks win feels priceless and a loss at least comes with consolation cash. Mitch and Brady Henderson break down Seattle's 27–10 win over Carolina, praising another elite defensive performance while sounding alarms about the offense's habit of slow starts and turnovers, with just 18 first-half points over the last four games. They preview Saturday night's NFC West showdown in Santa Clara, weighing a battered 49ers defense against Brock Purdy's red-hot offense and debating which version of Sam Darnold shows up. The segment closes with Taco Time honors for DeMarcus Lawrence and Zach Charbonnet, as Seattle stands one win away from the NFC's No. 1 seed and a first-round bye. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch for a wide-ranging College Football Playoff preview, diagnosing Clemson's 7–6 collapse as the moment NIL and the portal finally "happened" to Dabo Swinney, and reacting with surprise to Kyle Whittingham leaving Utah for Michigan as a potential cleanup hire. Neuheisel breaks down all four CFP games, backing Ohio State to survive Miami, Texas Tech to upset Oregon, Indiana to knock off Alabama, and Ole Miss to take down Georgia. He locks in Ole Miss plus the points as his official pick, staying hot at 8–6 against the spread while handing out Taco Time honors along the way.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | High-stakes NFC showdown looms as Seahawks chase the No. 1 seed, debate a hedge bet, and wonder where first-half Sam Darnold went. 3:08 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 24:07 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table - Brady Henderson; Seahawks dominate Carolina but face the ultimate test: hot Niners offense, shaky starts, and everything on the line in Santa Clara. 44:24 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; College football's new reality hits Clemson, Michigan turns to Kyle Whittingham, and Neuheisel makes his CFP picks with Ole Miss as the hill to die on.

On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy, break down the Seahawks in over Carolina…barley, before they pivot to the biggest game of the year. Is Sam Darnold ready for the challenge?  The Seahawks have the clear advantage defensively, but can their offense do enough especially in the first half.  Puck doesn't like that the game is on Saturday and Jim disagrees and thinks it's not a big deal.  After they get done talking about the Seahawks they can't believe how lucky Michigan is to have Kyle Whittingham as their new coach! “On This Day…”   Julio Rodriguez, Goodyear tires and Cheers Puck wraps up with, “Hey, what the Puck!?”     College basketball is out of control and has become embarrassing(1:00) Puck (1:03:58 ) “On this Day…”  (1:06:32) “Hey, What the Puck!?”
