Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks are back with a new episode, reacting to a wild Divisional Round weekend that reshaped the NFL landscape.

| 0:11.2 | What's up, everybody? |
| 0:12.2 | Welcome to Move the Sticks, DJ and Buck, with you as we react to a crazy weekend of |
| 0:17.3 | division around football. |
| 0:19.4 | We know our finalists now. |
| 0:21.4 | We got the final four bucks. |
| 0:22.8 | But just as soon as we're getting ready to get talking about that, this is the coaching |
| 0:27.7 | cycle that never ends, man. |
| 0:29.8 | No, it never ends. |
| 0:31.2 | The Buffalo Bills move on from Sean McDermott following the loss in the divisional round. |
| 0:38.9 | And DJ, I think the thing about this and maybe why it troubled me so is I tweeted this out, |

| 1:17.9 | we want to dominate the division because if you dominate the division, it guarantees you a lottery |
| 1:22.5 | ticket to the tournament. And so when we think about the tournament, I'm like, man, the Buffalo Bills have always been in the tournament in his era. And people talked about, yeah, but you know, like they got to the championship game, division around. They haven't gone to the Super Bowl. And I tweeted this. It reminded me of the debate that we've had where we talked about in baseball. In the 90s and 2000s, would you rather be the Atlanta Braves or the Florida Marlins? |
