Drake Maye just delivered one of the worst playoff performances we’ve seen in the modern NFL era — and the analytics are brutal. In Episode 42 of Don’t Quote Us Sports, Isaiah and Erb break down Maye’s record-setting sack total, his staggering negative EPA, and whether the blame belongs on the offensive line, the scheme, the receivers… or the quarterback himself.

From there, we react to a Super Bowl that didn’t quite live up to the hype. Was this the most disappointing ending to one of the best NFL seasons in recent memory? We dive into Kenneth Walker’s MVP-caliber performance, what it means for his next contract, and which players walked away as true winners and losers from Sunday night.

We also get into the halftime show conversation — Bad Bunny’s performance, the cultural impact behind it, and why it might’ve been more meaningful than people realized. Plus, we discuss the noticeable shift in Super Bowl commercials, the AI takeover, and why the ads just don’t hit like they used to.

As always, we can’t help ourselves… so we’re already making way-too-early Super Bowl 2026 predictions. Expect bold takes, hot forecasts, and at least one pick that might age terribly.

We wrap things up with Winter Olympics talk, including which events we’d absolutely fail at, why curling is secretly elite television, and early thoughts on Olympic hockey and Team USA’s chances. And of course, since it’s Episode 42, we celebrate some of the greatest athletes to ever wear the number — from Jackie Robinson to Ronnie Lott and beyond.

From there, the crew reacts to the Patriots’ gritty 10–7 snow win over the Broncos, debates Kurt Warner’s weather-game comments, and highlights a dominant New England defense that continues to carry this playoff run.

They also celebrate Sam Darnold’s full-circle redemption after leading Seattle past the Rams in an instant classic, discuss what went wrong for LA, and unpack how defense might once again be the true path to championships.
