Days away from watching the Seahawks appear in their third Super Bowl in team history, Adam and Brandan are joined by Gerrad this week to break down the matchup with the New England Patriots. The guys start by listening in on 90 hilarious seconds of Bill Belichick’s press conference where it talks about the deflated balls . . . footballs, before moving on to some real analysis.

From how the two teams matchup broadly on each side of the ball to individual matchups with the Rob Gronkowski, Marshawn Lynch, and who might be spying on Russell Wilson, the guys cover as much ground as possible in looking at the different aspects of this game.

BostonHawk, Dave Bloomquist, joins the show from deep in Patriots territory to talk about how the Seahawks are perceived by opposing fans in the area. He also talks about his ingenious ploy to get Patriots fans to help him showcase the 12 flag at a variety of Boston landmarks.

After offering predictions on the game, Gerrad heads out while Adam and Brandan get into your emails. Adam offers a sincere apology while putting himself in the “Do Better” slot and Brandan goes after Rich Eisen. The guys wrap up the show with Better at Life nominees Brandon Browner and a highlight of an amazing sendoff by fans when the Seahawks departed for Glendale.

After witnessing the greatest comeback in the history of NFL championship games, Adam and Brandan take a look at the top plays that won the game for Seattle as well as those plays that contributed to the Packers downfall. The Seahawks fell behind early and allowed 16 unanswered points by halftime. Seattle was within 12 points with less than four minutes remaining before rallying for the win.

This week's guest is the producer of several podcasts including the Dave Dameshek Football Program, Around the NFL, Move the Sticks and the Coaches Show. TD joins us to talk Seahawks, the origin of the “sexy deep ball” thrown by Russell Wilson and a look ahead to the matchup with the Patriots.

The guys read your emails, take calls and respond to some Faceboook comments. Golden Tate and New York Times columnist Richard Sandomir are called out in the “Do Better” portion of the show. “Better at Life” honors go to Patriots defensive lineman Vince Wilfork and Brandan selects both Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas for their toughness during Sunday’s game.

For the third consecutive year, the Seahawks have at least one playoff win. With a second-straight NFC Championship game at home, Seattle is in a great position to make the Super Bowl in back-to-back seasons following a 31-17 win over the Carolina Panthers.

Warning to listeners this week: the show goes a little bit off track toward the start with more focus on the Dez Bryant catch, and we do our best to tie it in with the Earl Thomas near-interception. Both were called a catch on the field only to have the play overturned when it went to the replay booth. Is there a way to change the rules so each play could be considered a catch? Would a new rule differentiate between the two? Is one play more deserving of being ruled a catch over the other?

The guys break down the matchup with the Packers and where some critical matchups tend to favor the Seahawks. Adam and Brandan talk about the mobility of Aaron Rodgers being a huge concern in this game and how Mr. Miyagi traveling with the team could be a concern.

Todd Mossburg, a 20-year veteran producer, and current producer of NFL AM on NFL Network joins the show this week. Todd drops some amazing knowledge at the end of his interview that you won’t want to miss. Of course we’re all curious to know if the Fail Mary play will get played on an endless loop in previewing this next matchup, but Todd says the network will go in a different direction on NFL AM.

The UK Sea Hawkers check in via email as well as an email that reminds us that a Seahawks punter holds the record for the worst punts in NFL history. Do Better honors go out to an L.A. columnist who wrote a regrettable story about Pete Carroll five years ago as well as the marketing around the Packers game against the Cowboys. “Better at Life” honors go out to the 12s support of Marshawn Lynch and the Seahawks community outreach team.

This week’s show previews the NFC Divisional Playoff matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and Carolina Panthers. Adam and Brandan offer their takeaways from the game between the Panthers and Cardinals and talk about how this Seahawks team matches up with Carolina at CenturyLink Field.

Considering how close the games have been in the past, some were a bit surprised to see how many points the Seahawks are favored by. The guys offer an explanation, talk about some of the Panthers most recent opponents and also talk about the Seahawks players selected for the All-Pro Team.

There’s no interview this week. Instead, Adam and Brandan run down some of the top plays from the season and talk about some of their favorite moments from the regular season.

The guys read your emails, take your calls and read a review before getting in to “Do Better.” The referees in the Detroit game in Dallas and some Internet outrage directed toward a fellow 12 are the topics of conversation. “Better at Life” honors go to Scott McCloughan, who travels to the nation's capital to be the new general manager, and the legendary Stuart Scott.

Your Seattle Seahawks are NFC West Champions for the second straight season following a 20-6 victory over the St. Louis Rams. The guys talk about some of the concerns about the team going into halftime and how the Seahawks rebounded to earn home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

The Seahawks defense has been incredibly impressive over the final six weeks of the season, with opponents averaging fewer than seven points. Over the past three years, Seattle’s defense has been the top defense in terms of points allowed. That hasn’t been done since the 1969-71 Vikings. The guys talk about the historic achievement.

Danny Kelly, editor-in-chief and lead writer at FieldGulls.com, comes on the show to about how this year’s team might be better than the one that one the Super Bowl last year. They talk about the team in the playoffs that poses the biggest problem for the Seahawks and chat about Seattle’s rookie receivers Paul Richardson and Kevin Norwood.

Lastly, Brandan offers a tongue-in-cheek “Do Better” for the New Orleans Saints and Adam is in disbelief over the reversal of the Suh suspension. Adam’s “Better at Life” nod goes out to former Bills quarterback Kyle Orton and Brandan gives praise to wool socks before sending Jim Harbaugh out to the college ranks with the better than Bayless “honor.”
