The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams staged a thriller of an NFC title game.

New England trudged through the snow with a tick more precision than the Jarrett Stidham-led Broncos.

We dissect both conference title games here on “Real Football” with co-host Jim Monos.

New here? Monos was an area scout for the Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints before spending four seasons as the director of personnel for the Buffalo Bills. We discuss ‘n debate everything you saw on Sunday: Sean Payton going for it on fourth down, the Rams’ special teams disaster, Sam Darnold’s finest hour and Mike Vrabel’s dominant defense. (What a rebuild it’s been.)

Of course, here in Western New York, the Buffalo Bills’ search for a new head coach is heating up. They’ve interviewed a slew of candidates, from Brian Daboll to Grant Udinski. A decision could be made soon. After all, whoever’s the new head coach will need to flesh out a staff.

What is it like inside these interviews? Monos shares his experiences.

Also, we expand on the need for the Bills to sync up Josh Allen with a new coach. It’s crucial. It’s been missing.
