Establish the Pass Podcast Episode 267 - Blake Lovell and Dillon Reagan dive into their NFC and AFC Conference Championship predictions ahead of Super Bowl 57, starting with the NFC. Will DeVonta Smith and AJ Brown give the 49ers defense fits? Can Brock Purdy play with the same poise as the divisional round and avoid the turnover bug against the Eagles’ opportunistic secondary? Is Jalen Hurts healthy enough to put his body on the line when Philly needs it most? Which coaching staff will find the edge that’s ultimately the difference? Then, they flip to the AFC title game, discussing Patrick Mahomes’ continued recovery ahead of the clash, the Bengals’ defensive plan to slow the Chiefs’ high-powered unit like it did in the second half a year ago, the importance of taking Joe Burrow down and not letting him improvise, and the fire lit underneath Mahomes as Burrow’s stardom continues to grow. But first, they discuss the Jets hiring Nathaniel Hackett as their new offensive coordinator and what it means for their chances in the Aaron Rodgers trade sweepstakes.

Establish the Pass Podcast Episode 266 - Blake Lovell and Dillon Reagan go over their biggest takeaways from the divisional round of the 2022-23 NFL playoffs, including the Chiefs potentially dodging a bullet with Patrick Mahomes’ injury against the Jaguars, the Eagles’ demolition of the Giants, Joe Burrow and the Bengals’ statement win over the Super Bowl-favorite Bills, and the classic defensive battle between the 49ers and Cowboys.

Then, they forecast the future of the AFC with the 3-headed monster of the Chiefs, Bills, and Bengals ruling for years to come.

Establish the Pass Podcast Episode 262 - Blake Lovell and Dillon Reagan lead off the podcast by discussing the current head coach openings in the NFL and where Sean Payton fits best. Then, they talk about Sean McVay potentially stepping down, whether the Broncos or the Rams were the bigger disappointment in 2022, fallout from Week 18’s action, and the true winner of the Matthew Stafford trade after Dan Campbell’s Lions closed out the season by knocking out the rival Packers (and potentially ending Aaron Rodgers’ tenure with the franchise?)
