    Super Bowl LVIII Recap | 4 Down Territory

    In this week’s “4-Down Territory,” Kyle Madson of Niners Wire and Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire discuss: Kyle Shanahan had more at stake – more to lose – than anybody else in this Super Bowl. And he lost. In the biggest game of the season. And once again, he had a huge lead that he and his team ultimately squandered. What does this say about Shanahan in an overall sense? Where are we with him historically at this point?  Conversely, where are we with Andy Reid? All of a sudden, he’s not just a first-ballot Hall of Famer; he’s now the engineer of one of the true dynasties in pro football history?  The other greatness discussion we have to have at this point relates to one Patrick Lavon Mahomes II. Are we now talking about the greatest quarterback we’ve ever seen? And if not, what’s the argument against it?  Where do both of these teams go from here?

    NFL Conference Championship Recap | 4 Down Territory

    In this week’s “4-Down Territory,” Kyle Madson of Niners Wire and Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire discuss: Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell will be pilloried all offseason long for his two failed fourth-down conversion attempts in his team’s 34-31 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game. Should he be?  The Baltimore Ravens looked just about unbeatable as they started their AFC Championship contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. Three hours later, the Ravens were out in a 17-10 loss, and the Chiefs were headed to their fourth Super Bowl in the last five years. What did this tell us about the Ravens?  Kyle Shanahan now has the opportunity to erase his postseason demons and beat the Chiefs in the Super Bowl as he couldn’t in Super Bowl LIV. Why will he be able to do that, if he’s able to do that?  What was your Worst of the Week?

    Super Wild Card Weekend Recap | 4 Down Territory

    In this week’s “4-Down Territory,” Kyle Madson of Niners Wire and Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire discuss: Now that the Dolphins are out of the postseason following their 26-7 wild-card loss to the Chiefs, we’re left with the question we’ve been asking all along – is Tua Tagovailoa the right franchise quarterback for this team to trust? Will Jerry Jones fire Mike McCarthy? Should he fire Mike McCarthy, and if so, who should replace him?  We’re shooting this before Monday night’s Eagles-Buccaneers playoff game. If the Eagles get blown out (which is entirely possible), should owner Jeff Lurie move on from head coach Nick Sirianni? And even if the Eagles win, how much faith do you have in their ability to get to another Super Bowl?  What’s your Worst of the Week?

Which wild-card team should be taken least seriously?  Who’s your Secret Superstar for the wild-card round? Which assistant coach would you most like to get a vacant head coaching job?

    NFL Week 17 Recap: Ravens Dominate, Lamar Jackson's MVP day, and Bad Officiating Calls

    In this week’s “4-Down Territory,” Kyle Madson of Niners Wire and Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire discuss: Is there anyone else but Lamar Jackson who can make the case for NFL MVP? Should the NFL make a more public statement about the state of officiating by firing everybody on that crew when the regular season is over?  If you had to pick one of the defending Super Bowl teams to make it back to the biggest game – and we would understand you not wanting either one – would you go with the Kansas City Chiefs, or the Philadelphia Eagles?  Week 17, Worst of the Week
