NFL Week 18 Recap: Detroit Lions take No. 1 seed | Chris Simms Unbuttoned (FULL EP. 683 | NFL on NBC

[@usnairframer]

Is the audio really quiet for anybody else?

[@Tyler-ml6ip]

Yes

[@TheInterestedObserver]

it's not great, mainly chris, even though he has airpods in it still sounds like he is speaking into a phone on loudspeaker

[@brianmartindale2221]

It's low volume, until the ads show up

[@David9999-w9s]

Yes

[@jarlwhiterun7478]

The audio is trash for this ep. Might have to skip this one

[@Crunchtime503]

Sean Payton had a $40 million in dead cap (highest dead cap in NFL history), started a rookie QB, played in a tough division, and earned a playoff spot. Why aren't people aren't mentioning him as a top candidate for coach of the year?

[@dondon31311]

Lets Gooooooo Detroit Lions Baby

[@TK_Scott]

Jahmyr Gibbs is RB1, not only on this team, but I'll take him over anyone in the NFL. He would have easily eclipsed 2,000 yds and 25 TD's if he wasnt splitting carries all year. You cannot convince me otherwise. What a talent.

[@NathanRhwmf]

snowstormed in! no work for me tomorrow, love you guys here. happy holidays and happy new year everyone

[@StonerSports24]

Same here in Kentucky, happy new year!

[@GoneFullTilt]

Florio face is going to be a little funny to watch. especially after the Viking loss. Cant wait. edit: I call him that because he always has that "FML" look on his face in the thumbnails... well actually, not just the thumbnails.. but in general.

[@jrgetda1911]

As the Detroit Lions fans, I was not nervous not one bit. They got sam he is what we thought he was.

[@moebaddest1212]

Detroit Baby...

[@damonbrown8360]

This was brilliant! Such a unique way to do live show

[@joebemister6292]

Audio balancing/volume needs fixing.

[@Jake-zy9ip]

Good job leading the pod Ahmed, fun episode

[@JoeBizzle]

Everyone assumes both coordinators are leaving. There are only so many spots open and lots of good candidates.

[@dkenned4]

Have to disagree with Simms assessment about Raheem Morris.. he’s a defensive coach playing in a must win game and let Bryce young tear them apart. Falcons had little energy and were out coached.

[@RobertSmith-gn2he]

The Vikings did not adjust at all for Cover 0. You have to throw some quick slants out there or a pick play to get the defense to start playing honest. You had WRs going on 20-30 yard routes on 4th and 15 with the middle of the field completely open for an easy pitch and catch

[@Bradum]

As a Ravens fan, 1000% would have rather played the Chargers or Broncos than the Steelers.

[@joechriste7052]

The Steelers have lost their way into the playoffs. I wouldn't be scared one bit.

[@real-ishstraighttruthnocha1687]

Heads up, the Giants kept the GM and coach!

[@jakkeday1]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@izzy2802]

Physically The Bears beat up on the packers pretty badly.

[@eduardooneal]

Hold Florio accountable

[@real-ishstraighttruthnocha1687]

While the Jags fired Pederson, they kept Baalke for some reason

[@bnstyle101]

As an Eagles fan, I’m nervous about Jalen Hurts not playing for 3 weeks. I wonder if he will be on a short leash and we throw in Tanner McKee. McKee has looking like the real QB1, peppering the ball all over the field and getting all the receivers/tight ends involved

[@Tyler-ml6ip]

Turn up the volume

[@davidbellecy1709]

This was worse audio I have ever heard on your show.

[@richardhuetter]

Chris' audio quality 😢

[@andrew_7539]

Is that Ahmed's Lions themed LED handled fridge behind him?

[@jpmartin2312]

Darnold choked hard😂

[@DocAllen424]

So he played to his actually ability 😂

[@jpmartin2312]

@DocAllen424 seems so lol

[@TheInterestedObserver]

Surely a producer is checking the volume output levels no? Maybe you should stream this live.

[@TheBrotherHoodSports]

It probably peaked when they tried to raise the volume. Relax bro. Y'all act so snobby when things aren't perfect.

[@Djturnt]

Got a feeling we not losing both coaches

[@buto7178]

Lets go!! Pod while at work💪🏾

[@donywahlberg]

You guys are asking all the wrong questions. It's not about whether Drake Maye needs or doesn't need an offensive coach -- it's about the fact Joe Milton doesn't need one. Let's go Vrabel or promote AVP so he can keep working with the kids.

[@craigburgess7105]

Issue at the Bears (among many) is the involvement of Kevin Warren, not Ryan Poles, as the non accountable 'bridge' between the football operation and owners. Doesn't appear to be a sensible set up. Any HC/GM combo could/would find difficulties with where responsibility lies with Warren sitting there not as an owner but clearly appearing to be running things. Will jump on a bandwagon if it's going well and vice/versa if not. They have to sort this element out otherwise it's not an appealing spot. Roster is pretty good especially if they can set the O Line up.

[@TheMaticus06]

I believe Ben Johnson loves his job and wouldn't want to give it up for anything. His job is literally locked down by him.

[@abelincoln6785]

Bears fan here - Glenn's defense mugged the Vikings and exposed Darnold as a slow pocket QB who holds the ball too long. Darnold has Caleb William's disease - has to see receivers open. Lions have a TEAM.

[@Firstclasssempire]

I don’t think Chris hit the amp button on his mixer. I stream and I’ve been there before lmaoo

[@SFHCommish_1]

So, is Gibbs still not a playmaker in your opinion?

[@jesselawson224]

You definitely aren’t going to be excited, since they are keeping the giants coach and gm.

[@Rayza82]

Where's the short show football night in America with Florio, the coach, chick, the fantasy football betting guy, and the former Steelers player? Do they not do an episode for week 18?

[@jeanneharvey3809]

Go Texans ride or die happy New Year it's Chris and Ahmed

[@Jihfy]

absolutely love the podcast, listen to the entirety of every episode, but if i may.. as a Ravens fan, it's kind of disappointing that 1.) our game's segments are always on the back-end of each episode and 2.) never last more than about 1-2 minutes? i'll take what i can get because you guys have great takes, but again, just a little disappointing

[@petedamilatis]

Sorry Jihfy, it was a product of the last 3 Ravens games being early week games which we felt like were broken down ad-nauseum by the time we got to them Sunday night. It'll be different this week, we'll have a full recap of Ravens-Steelers this Sunday night -Producer Pete

[@UserTNumbers]

So glad the Patriots won and got the 4 pick instead of #1!

[@pbnaj]

I think you meant 'Western New York'

[@KCBAYBOI]

If you was nervous in the third quarter as a Lions fan you don’t know your team smh

[@troyadams6937]

Jammir Gibbs is the best back in the NFL we is going to the Superbowl

[@scottyo64]

Fix your volume! That is unacceptable

[@calvinspiff4348]

Dude thought Cincinnati was going to the Super Bowl. I really don't gaf what he thinks

[@jhh764]

They had the best offense in the league it really wasn't a crazy prediction. Defense just sold games early in the season

[@kevinalas2982]

I rather geno go than grubb, he'll adjust. But geno.... I see the floor but the ceiling is not that exciting

[@Vide0c8m17]

Just called robinson the best back behind gibbs like a rb didn’t just run for 2k 🙄

[@MotorcityKitties]

Been watching fraud Vikings, delusional bears, and sociopath packers fans my whole life. It’s time for a change.

[@zachbuschman3105]

Ummm… what?

[@MotorcityKitties]

@ oh you must not be in the know

[@jarlwhiterun7478]

Anytime I see the Packers or Viqueens play in primetime against good teams, they are exposed and pantsed.

[@TheBrotherHoodSports]

I am starting to hate Packers fans and I'm a Packers fan. Can't stand people that refuse to be honest.

[@scottyo64]

Saw a pod cast last night, and they were blaming the Vikings loss on the refs.......😂

[@kennethmacgregor-Gregorach]

The audio levels make this unlistenable! good grief get it together!

[@DocAllen424]

Jefferson got owned and exposed

Audio

[@deehill6719]

13:46 THAT IS A BOLD FACE LIE you can't say the falcons had a successful year when they started 6-3 and ended 8-9 that's BS and raheem was HORRID THIS YEAR all the horrible decision making every chance he had to make a good decision he made a horrible one and he is supposed to be a defensive HC how is your defense worse than last year with arthur smith and you added mathew judon and justin simmons everything about the defense was awful except for moments when AJ ELLIS or jessie made a amazing play which wasn't often

[@boldcaballero]

She's the only one who got exposed....they ALL do it....Molly Querim, Maria Taylor, Erin Andrews on and on and on...why would men hire them otherwise? They have no expertise....eye candy and if ur the boss, why not take advantage......I'd love someone to do a. Investigation on ALL the actresses who worked with Harvey Weinstein but didn't come forward.....maybe they were happy with the roles they got....only the actresses who didn't get a role came forward?

[@SoLameVision]

This idiot just said Bijan And Gibbs were the best RB in the League. Its clearly Saquon

[@RJ-qs6nm]

Eagles gonna light everyone up

[@aidanwm7498]

Nah bro I think that Aj jalen beef deeper than what the surface shows and the saquon thing might come back to bite them just let one of these teams like the lions or the Vikings score a td first and all these things will come into play

[@jarlwhiterun7478]

They don't light anyone up. They control the lines of scrimmage and they play in the NFC least.

[@RJ-qs6nm]

@ not talking about the scoreboard. Talking about physicality. “Light up” = hit

[@Raven5321]

Why would Ben Johnson go to some bs organization and end up like Jerod Mayo? You guys can keep trying to speak this into existence, but I doubt bro is stupid enough to leave a potential dynasty just to start all over because of why? Ego? Dude is 38 years old. If the Lions get to the Super Bowl (which should have been the second straight one at this point), you can forget it.

[@MotorcityKitties]

Brian Flores crying racism he got whipped so bad

[@zachbuschman3105]

Lions don’t see race. They see prey

[@dequanadams8107]

Can someone explain to me how a 31-9 game looks closer then what it looks 😂😂 ??

[@newlvlupsno3620]

Did you watch the game?

[@GryphonLucas]

It was close until about halfway through the 3rd quarter. The Lions offense kicked into high gear after their defense played lights out the first half (and second half) lol.

[@dequanadams8107]

@@newlvlupsno3620 yea i watched and it was never close to me lol

[@newblackman8166]

​​@@newlvlupsno3620A game where the lions led the entire time the vikes never led by a single pt. The vikes never even tied the game. The score was 17-9 going into tho 4th and 31-9 at the end of the game. The lions had more rushing yds more passing yds more 1st downs better 3rd down efficiency better 4th down efficiency higher yds per play higher time of possesion all while losing the to battle 2 to 0. The lions literally scored more tds in the 1st qt than the vikes scored all game. Im seriously wondering the same thing as him actually. How exactly was it closer than it looked?
