The Denver Broncos’ 11-game win streak is over — and according to Liv Moods, that might be exactly what this team needed. In this Broncos-heavy episode of MoodSwings, Liv explains why the loss to the Jaguars is a blessing in disguise, pushes back on ref-blaming and overreaction, and lays out why Denver is still the best team in the AFC. From discipline issues and defensive breakdowns to the massive impact of Brandon Jones’ absence, Bo Nix’s accountability, and key injuries heading into the playoffs, Liv breaks down what this loss reveals — and why the Broncos are built to bounce back at the perfect time.
Liv Moods reacts to the Broncos’ first loss since September, arguing that not all losses are bad losses and that this one may ultimately strengthen Denver heading into the postseason. She addresses critics and “I told you so” reactions, emphasizes the importance of discipline over officiating complaints, and highlights how much the defense missed Brandon Jones. Liv also discusses Bo Nix’s growth and accountability after a costly hospital ball, provides injury updates on Pat Bryant and Dre Greenlaw, and looks ahead to the Broncos’ remaining schedule and playoff positioning. The episode wraps with a broader look at the AFC and NFC playoff races, why there is no clear Super Bowl favorite, and why Denver remains in a strong position despite the setback.

Welcome into another episode of Mood Swings with Live Moods presented by Landmark Lincoln. As always, shout out to our friends over at Landmark Lincoln off of Bellevue and Broadway. Make sure you head to their location to figure out why they have been the number one Lincoln dealer in Colorado for as long as they have. I'm the proud new owner of a 2025 Lincoln Nautilus.
00;00;32;10 - 00;00;55;08
Liv Moods
Could not love my car more, so make sure you head to their location to check them out and potentially join the landmark Lincoln family. Okay, let's get into the show, you guys. As you can see, I've got my Denver Broncos stuff on because yes, I am still proud to be a Denver Bronco. This is the first time since September that we are not here on a Victory Monday celebrating all things happiness.
00;00;55;10 - 00;01;16;14
Liv Moods
No, the streak has ended. The 11 game win streak for the Denver Broncos has ended after a pretty tough loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, a team who is hot at the right time. They're a good football team. They've got a lot of momentum. There's no denying the Jacksonville Jaguars could be a threat. And are playing really excellent football.
00;01;16;14 - 00;01;36;01
Liv Moods
So it was a loss at the end of the day. And I've seen a lot of Broncos country members complaining about the refs feeling like that was the reason we lost. And I just want to stop you there. First and foremost, I want to have a lot of different conversations today about the Broncos. This is going to be a Broncos heavy episode, mostly focusing on that game and kind of what the playoff picture looks like.
00;01;36;03 - 00;01;53;11
Liv Moods
What do the next two games look like for this Broncos team? All of that, yada yada, yada. That being said, we're going to start with, you know, something that I think we should all hear to maybe give ourselves a little peace of mind and maybe feel a little bit better about the situation. I do believe that this loss was a blessing in disguise.
00;01;53;11 - 00;02;10;21
Liv Moods
Yes. Not all losses are bad losses. We're going to get into that. I'm going to deep dive into that in just a moment. But first I want to address the haters. I want to address the haters. And I know you're probably like live, you know, give it up. Why are you always addressing these people? Because they need to be addressed.
00;02;10;24 - 00;02;48;20
Liv Moods
And some people are scared to talk to the haters. I'm not. I feed on it, I love it. So this one's for the haters. Imagine having to wait 13 weeks for your I told you so moment guys. I don't know how else to tell you this 13 weeks 11 game win streak. You had to wait for 13 weeks and an 11 game win streak later to think for a second, that you finally have your I told you so or I was right about the Denver Broncos moment and the reality is, how right are you really, though?
00;02;48;23 - 00;03;08;06
Liv Moods
How right are you really? Because alongside the Patriots in the Seattle Seahawks, the Denver Broncos still have the best record in the NFL at 12 and three. You know, so if this is what it took for you to feel good about feeling like the Broncos are overrated, feeling like, you know, we're hyping them up too much. This is easily a first round exit.
00;03;08;06 - 00;03;30;15
Liv Moods
You know all of those things. You can still believe those things. That's that's your prerogative. But to wait 13 weeks for an I told you so moment. And the Broncos are still 12 and three. They still lead the AFC West despite the Chargers kind of adding some pressure there. Despite the Chargers fans having a lot to say, this is still the best team in the AFC West.
00;03;30;15 - 00;03;58;15
Liv Moods
And even still after the Patriots won, this is still the number one seed in the AFC. So let's slow down. You know how right are you really. All things considered I had haters. So quick, so quick to get on their social media accounts to let me know see see. Told you so. Told you so about your Broncos. What exactly are you telling me?
00;03;58;17 - 00;04;24;26
Liv Moods
They're 12 and three. Still the best team in the AFC West. So the number one seed despite a Patriots dub in the AFC. So what exactly are you telling me okay so slow down haters. Let's start there also now we're going to go to the positives which is I do believe this was a blessing in disguise. Yes. Not all losses are bad losses.
00;04;24;26 - 00;04;51;08
Liv Moods
I really, really believe that. The Jacksonville Jaguars are a good team who, very simply put, outplayed the Denver Broncos in almost every single way period. I'm not going to sit here and I'm not going to talk about the officiating, because the officiating sucks all the time, all the time. So if you're a member of Broncos Country and you're feeling like that's the reason we lost, I urge you to look at the bigger picture here.
00;04;51;15 - 00;05;15;05
Liv Moods
The Denver Broncos got outplayed in almost every single way. Blaming the refs is is not a great thing to do in this moment, because the Broncos did not play a good game. I can acknowledge that there were bad calls, but I can also acknowledge there are always bad calls in every major sport. Don't even get me on the NBA dome.
00;05;15;05 - 00;05;43;22
Liv Moods
Don't even get me started on the NBA officials. They drive me insane. This game very simply lacked discipline. It did not lack skill. It lacked discipline. This was undisciplined football played by the Denver Broncos. And the other thing I want to say to the haters really quick is if this one loss, their first loss since the month of September, it's almost January, their first loss since the month of September.
00;05;43;24 - 00;06;16;20
Liv Moods
If this makes you forget all about the 11 straight wins, you're just a certified hater and nothing is going to please you about what this Denver Broncos team is doing. Absolutely nothing. You do not win 11 straight games by chance or by good luck. Only you don't. This is a skilled football team that didn't show up prepared enough to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars, who were one of the hottest teams in the NFL right now in terms of momentum, you learn a lot about yourself when you lose.
00;06;16;22 - 00;06;46;13
Liv Moods
I would argue you're going to learn a whole lot more about yourself after this loss than you did winning 11 straight games. Now, I don't believe the Denver Broncos went into this game with a complacent mindset necessarily, but I do think there is an element of complacency that is attached with 11 straight wins. Naturally. Not because the Denver Broncos didn't feel threatened by the Jacksonville Jaguars, not because the Denver Broncos got cocky and arrogant and they started to just, you know, take their foot off the gas.
00;06;46;13 - 00;07;11;01
Liv Moods
But I do think naturally when you win 11 straight football games, complacency will be attached to that. And we might have saw a little bit of that versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. Like I said, you learn a lot about yourself when you lose this defense, who I will still consider an elite level defense, an elite championship level defense gave up 34 points to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
00;07;11;04 - 00;07;35;00
Liv Moods
Very out of character for this squad considering how well they've played all season long. Right. And I really hope there's a lot of things to learn from this game. But as fans, I really hope we got to see on full display. Or we at least acknowledged the importance and the value of Brandon Jones. I'm going to take a second and talk about Brandon Jones.
00;07;35;03 - 00;08;04;18
Liv Moods
The secondary looked confused. They were visibly off. Brandon Jones was severely missed in that game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. He has played a very crucial role for this Broncos team this season. Huge loss losing Brandon Jones at this stage of the season. Massive. And I'm not going to talk about it for too long because it devastates me genuinely to my core.
00;08;04;20 - 00;08;29;29
Liv Moods
But you do get to see on full display just how much Brandon Jones contributed to this Denver Broncos defense. Huge. He was a huge add. You know Broncos country losing Justin Simmons felt like you know you've got those players. You just love them. You love them. You want to see them stay in Denver. We didn't talk enough about getting Brandon Jones and what that would look like, because I think maybe a lot of people didn't necessarily know what it would look like.
00;08;30;01 - 00;09;06;04
Liv Moods
But last night proved exactly what it looked like. Having Brandon Jones because the secondary was visibly off, very, very off. So the value that Brandon Jones brings was on full display. Devastating loss there. Not having Brandon Jones. There were missed tackles. There were dropped passes. There were turnovers. Like I said, this was undisciplined football that can very easily be learned from, which is why I called this loss a blessing in disguise.
00;09;06;04 - 00;09;27;18
Liv Moods
And I believe that it is a blessing in disguise. The Broncos have proven through many fourth quarters this season that they know how to bounce back. If there is one team that knows how to bounce back, it is the Denver Broncos baby. Okay, they could not show up for three quarters in a football game and then bounce back in the fourth.
00;09;27;18 - 00;09;51;21
Liv Moods
They've done it many times before this season, so if there is any team that is good at bouncing back that I trust to bounce back, it's the Denver Broncos. They've been bouncing back and coming back in the fourth quarter all season long. And you think this loss is going to be any different. Nick Benito stood in the locker room and said I played ass today.
00;09;51;23 - 00;10;23;20
Liv Moods
They're not satisfied. To talked about you know this was this was a reality check. Of course, these Broncos have been able to forget and move on all season, whether it's through three quarters of football or it's after an ugly win or it's after a one and two season start, their ability to move on and focus on what's ahead has kind of been one of their strong suits, one of their secret weapons this season.
00;10;23;20 - 00;10;51;10
Liv Moods
This loss will be no different. I actually had my doubts about the Denver Broncos riding into the playoffs on a win streak. I didn't feel great about that, guys. I didn't because I think you learn a lot about yourself when you lose. This is an opportunity for this group to regroup, adjust and get better.
00;10;51;12 - 00;11;28;18
Liv Moods
You don't learn a whole lot when you keep being successful, right? It's like, okay, whatever we were doing was working. We also know Sean Payton is exceptionally stubborn. So even if the the winds were ugly, they were still wins. They were still wins. And Sean Payton's book, so whatever we're doing is working, when in reality there have been a lot of vulnerabilities in this Broncos team, despite their 12 and three record that people have kind of been like, I don't know, is this going to work in the playoffs now you've lost and you know how quickly things can go wrong despite being, you know, a team that's got some of the most momentum out
00;11;28;18 - 00;11;56;27
Liv Moods
there, 11 straight wins. Despite all that, you got to kind of see first hand versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. That. You can be beat. You're beatable. Now. The league has seen it. Dang those Broncos man. They did not play a perfect four quarters. But they keep winning. Now the league can see you're beatable.
00;11;56;29 - 00;12;22;05
Liv Moods
So this is an opportunity to learn and to grow. That's what this is an opportunity to learn and to grow. And I believe that is exactly what this Broncos team will do. They're going to regroup. They're going to recenter. They're on to the next. That's how this works. That's what they've done every football game this season. Every single one.
00;12;22;07 - 00;12;45;22
Liv Moods
Okay. Regrouping and recenter is just about the only option. If this Broncos team wants to stay atop of the AFC West, make a deep playoff run, you name it. Especially with new injuries to Pat Bryant and Dre Greenlaw. Let's talk about the Pat Bryant one. First and foremost thank you Jesus that he is okay. He was moving his extremities.
00;12;45;22 - 00;13;07;00
Liv Moods
It was a very scary injury. You could just feel through the TV screen. I wasn't at the game, but you could feel through the TV screen the amount of like anxiety that these players were feeling watching him lie there. He was moving his extremities, which is an amazing, amazing thing. And he was released from the hospital with a concussion last night.
00;13;07;00 - 00;13;44;29
Liv Moods
He was released from the hospital with a concussion. You obviously hate that he's concussed. But you also know that in the game of football, that could have been a whole lot worse. And I'm just thankful that it wasn't. That being said, if you pay attention to Bo Nix at all, you know his heart. Okay, so I just want to say I don't think that taking to Twitter while Pat Bryant is still lying on the field to drag Bo Nix for the hospital ball that he threw is necessary or frankly, appropriately timed.
00;13;45;01 - 00;14;10;08
Liv Moods
I get it, and trust me, Bo gets it. Bo took full responsibility for the pass that injured Pat Bryant, and I knew he would. Bo took full responsibility for that. I just don't know if it's in great taste for us to be jumping straight to social media platforms to drag Bo Nix for something that I can guarantee you he was already dragging himself for.
00;14;10;11 - 00;14;29;18
Liv Moods
Let's also keep in mind Bo Nix is in his second year. There is a lot to learn. He took accountability and I guarantee you he moves a little bit more carefully because he now knows. Not only does he lead this team and lead this offense, but he can also be responsible for the safety of his players. You don't think he cares about that?
00;14;29;20 - 00;15;01;01
Liv Moods
Then you don't know Bo nix Bo nix. His heart is on full display at all times. So I just, you know, again, we all saw the pass. Bo Nix threw the pass. He's aware of what the pass looked like. He's now fully aware he should not have thrown it. But he did okay. And I just don't think it's in great taste to be immediately jumping to, you know how horrible Bo Nix is for throwing a hospital ball.
00;15;01;04 - 00;15;21;27
Liv Moods
Many quarterbacks in this league have done it. It's a learning lesson and it's a tough one. And thank you, Jesus that Pat Bryant is okay. But while Pat Bryant is still laying on the field, getting medical attention might not be the best time to run to your Twitter account and get your Twitter fingers going and start talking about how you know it's all Bo Nix his fault.
00;15;21;28 - 00;15;49;09
Liv Moods
He knows. He knows he's responsible. He took full accountability for it. Let's also talk a little bit about Dre Greenlaw, who played 71% of the snaps in that game. And then with just around two minutes remaining, he's grabbing his hamstring and he's limping off the field. Hate to see it. It is probably in the Denver Broncos best possible interest to rest him until the playoffs.
00;15;49;11 - 00;16;09;25
Liv Moods
If you can get by, if Vance Joseph can make the proper adjustments to get this defense back on track. God willing, versus a third string quarterback next week. Okay, it's probably in the Broncos best interest to rest Dre Greenlaw the remainder of the season, regardless of how he feels okay. Because you know these guys they're competitive. They just want to play.
00;16;09;27 - 00;16;35;17
Liv Moods
But regardless of how he feels, it may be in the best interest of the Denver Broncos to rest him because he's a guy you definitely want available during the playoffs. Absolutely. Without a doubt, there's a potential he could get three weeks of rest. Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed for those three weeks being enough for whatever he did to his hamstring last night, late in that game.
00;16;35;20 - 00;17;03;01
Liv Moods
Let's talk about the remaining schedule. Like I said, third string quarterback next week versus the Kansas City Chiefs on the road. The Chiefs, who really have nothing to play for. This is going to be the perfect opportunity, in my opinion, for this Broncos team to polish themselves and refine themselves. Like I said, you don't win 11 straight games by luck or by chance.
00;17;03;04 - 00;17;23;07
Liv Moods
You don't. This Broncos team is good. Anyone saying this Broncos team is not good is simply a certified hater. And if you waited 13 weeks so that you could have your little I told you so moment, how embarrassing for you.
00;17;23;10 - 00;17;48;02
Liv Moods
You had to wait 11 straight wins. You'd wait 13 weeks to be right about the Denver Broncos. That is so embarrassing. Because what exactly are you right about? They're 12 and three. And despite the Patriots winning because I you know, immediately after that game all I heard from was there were two groups of people I heard from Chargers fans and Patriots fans.
00;17;48;04 - 00;18;14;17
Liv Moods
And Patriots fans were really quick, really quick in the DMs and in the mentions to talk about the Broncos losing and even with a win. Patriots fans, the Broncos are still the number one team in the AFC. So why exactly are you right about guys? Okay, this Broncos team is good. One loss does not change that. And I think it's a really good thing they lost ahead of the playoffs.
00;18;14;20 - 00;18;38;11
Liv Moods
I think it's a really good thing they lost because a game next week versus the Kansas City Chiefs who have nothing to play for and have a third string quarterback running their offense, is the perfect opportunity to polish and refine, right, to get back on track. And I know you could say, well, they need to be against a tough team, you know, to really see what they're about.
00;18;38;14 - 00;19;06;17
Liv Moods
They should win next week, even if they play as bad as they played against the Jaguars. They should. They should still be the Chiefs next week. Sure. But this is why the Broncos have stayed good. They don't worry about anyone else. It's about team growth. Team wins right. So if they can polish and refine, and learn from this last game, apply that in a game that, you know, doesn't have a whole lot of meaning to.
00;19;06;17 - 00;19;33;24
Liv Moods
The Chiefs should be an easy win for the Denver Broncos. Apply it. Their Polish and refine and then head back on home and secure the AFC West versus the Chargers. You're kind of sitting in a good spot. So let's talk about the Chargers game. Final home game of the season versus the Chargers. And at this stage the Chargers who are 11 and four are kinda they're kind of creeping up on the Denver Broncos in terms of the AFC West.
00;19;33;24 - 00;20;05;21
Liv Moods
They are creeping up. They are but you know it would be it would be live. Moody's has to address the haters yet again of course. So let me quickly chat with the Chargers haters, the Chargers fans that are also Broncos haters simultaneously for a second, because you guys were awfully loud last night. I'm just gonna remind you of this quickly because here's the deal.
00;20;05;21 - 00;20;23;11
Liv Moods
I can take it. You guys, you guys dish it out to me all the time. I just sit back and I'm like, yep, I've got a show tomorrow. Let me write this rundown. Real quick and then I'll get back to you. Okay. So this is me getting back to your Chargers fans because you were loud last night. Slow down and let me say this.
00;20;23;14 - 00;21;04;18
Liv Moods
You have not yet won the division. Okay? You could, but you haven't yet. And while you were so graciously reminding me of the final score of the Jaguars Broncos game that I watched in its entirety, so I knew the score. But I let you have your moment while you so graciously reminded me of that final score you kind of forgot about two weeks ago with your old squad who allowed one more point to that exact same team in the Jacksonville Jaguars than my Broncos did, and you couldn't even score a touchdown versus the Jacksonville Jaguars just two short weeks ago.
00;21;04;18 - 00;21;09;05
Liv Moods
So again, I say.
00;21;09;08 - 00;21;30;29
Liv Moods
I think you've got enough going on over there to worry about that, to be stressing about my Broncos win streak. You know, first loss since September. You had a lot to say. You know you got a little loud for my liking a little arrogant even. And you haven't won the division yet. This Denver Broncos team has already clinched a playoff berth.
00;21;31;01 - 00;22;02;14
Liv Moods
They are still the best team in the AFC West. They are still the best team in the AFC. They're the number one seed in the AFC. Yes it's true. So again you know. Enjoy the L. You know you were you were having fun with it. Go for it. But I would just say you know focus on what you've got going on over there because when you just two short weeks ago play the Jacksonville Jaguars, it actually looked worse on your squad than it did on mine just yesterday.
00;22;02;16 - 00;22;12;17
Liv Moods
So keep that in mind. And also, you know, stay focused. Stay locked in because the Houston Texans defense is not one to be messed with.
00;22;12;19 - 00;22;39;29
Liv Moods
They're famished and they're hungry for a Herbert combo meal. That's what I heard. That's the rumor through the grapevine. Job is not done yet. Chargers fans. So before you get too loud, I would turn that volume down just a smidge. Tom saying season's not over. Job's not done. The Chargers still need to win next weekend, right?
00;22;40;01 - 00;23;00;14
Liv Moods
I'm going to tell you right now the Broncos must win outright. Period. Just win outright so that, you know you've got the AFC West win outright. Please. It's in your best interest to do so. But the Chargers certainly you know the the bragging rights versus the Jaguars is not really there for the Broncos or the Chargers.
00;23;00;15 - 00;23;23;13
Liv Moods
You know had we been playing another team I can understand getting real loud with me last night. But you just played this team two weeks ago and you looked worse than the Broncos did. So remain focused. That's all I am. That's all I'm gonna say really quickly. As you guys know, this show is presented by Landmark Lincoln and Landmark Lincoln is doing something very special this holiday season.
00;23;23;13 - 00;23;27;24
Liv Moods
So let's take a look at what that is.
00;23;27;26 - 00;23;34;02
Speaker 2
At Landmark Lincoln, we've been serving Colorado families for generations, but what matters most is giving back.
00;23;34;03 - 00;23;40;26
Liv Moods
This November and December, $250 from every car sold will go towards Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital.
00;23;40;29 - 00;23;44;00
Speaker 2
Together we can find cures for childhood cancer.
00;23;44;02 - 00;23;47;05
Liv Moods
One car, one family, one cure at a time.
00;23;47;07 - 00;23;48;15
Speaker 2
Let's drive hope forward.
00;23;48;15 - 00;24;15;20
Liv Moods
Colorado. Every mile matters. You. The AFC is still wide open despite the Broncos still being the number one seed. The Patriots just got a win last night versus the Baltimore Ravens. Can we talk about the Baltimore Ravens for half a second. What is it going to take for Lamar Jackson to win a Super Bowl? I'm not sure I can handle this heartbreak any longer.
00;24;15;22 - 00;24;44;15
Liv Moods
Answer to my own question is likely a new coach. Is it time for Harbaugh to. I'm sorry, is it time for the Baltimore Ravens to say bye bye to Harbaugh? It might be guys sad, but it's the truth. I mean, it is just starting to feel like you've gotten under this coaching and coupled with Lamar Jackson, you've gotten everything out of this squad that you're possibly going to get.
00;24;44;17 - 00;24;50;13
Liv Moods
You are wringing out a dry sponge.
00;24;50;15 - 00;25;23;03
Liv Moods
So it might be time to move on from John. It might be time to move on from Harbaugh. It just might. It just might because it is not working. It's just not working. And Lamar Jackson, very interestingly, you know, I was watching that game and I was like, who? Okay, another injury to Lamar Jackson, I believe it was his back.
00;25;23;06 - 00;25;47;09
Liv Moods
You know, and I don't know the severity of the back injury, but I do believe that there are certain injury. You know we've seen quarterbacks play through broken hands broken feet. You know like they've got flesh hanging down. They're still playing. You know blood's dripping in their eye. They're still playing. You know I'm starting to believe my heart believes Lamar just needs to get his body right.
00;25;47;11 - 00;26;12;08
Liv Moods
He's just injury prone right now, guys. That's all it is. My brain is telling me he is done. He's over it. He could push through some of these injuries, but he doesn't want to. He's over it. Is there a world where Lamar Jackson is kind of getting over the situation? That is the Baltimore Ravens? Feels like maybe feels like possibly.
00;26;12;10 - 00;26;34;26
Liv Moods
So I don't want to believe it because I at this point, maybe to answer my first question, what's it going to take for Lamar Jackson to win a Super Bowl? Maybe it's that he's not with Baltimore anymore. Oh my gosh, never thought I'd say it, but it's the truth. So the AFC is pretty pretty open here. You've got the Broncos as the number one seed.
00;26;35;03 - 00;26;56;23
Liv Moods
You've got the Patriots behind them okay. And then the Jacksonville Jaguars who are now 11 and four and really making a name for themselves at this point in time. The Steelers who I predicted preseason would not make the playoffs, are having a really good time considering the Ravens keep losing. The Bengals have been a disaster all season long, and the Browns are the Browns.

The Chargers currently sitting at the five seed wild card 11. And for the bills, also a wild card 11 and four. And then the Texans at ten and five. Now here's the deal. The Texans really stink and need a win versus the Chargers this upcoming weekend. So that's the other aspect of the Chargers. You know fans getting a little too comfortable and a little too cocky here is that both of these teams need a win.
00;27;21;22 - 00;27;46;02
Liv Moods
So it's not going to be easy, especially considering, that the Houston Texans have a pretty elite defense that has won them some football games from time to time. Now, what's the offense going to give you? That is an impossible question to answer. And the Texans will be on the road. But we know home field advantage and so far is kind of nonexistent.
00;27;46;02 - 00;28;08;02
Liv Moods
So this really is, a valuable game for both of these squads. They're both going to be giving it their all okay. And then lurking in the AFC you've got the Colts and the Ravens. Ravens are seven and eight. Colter eight and six. So the AFC you know 12 and three. Broncos at 112 and three. Patriots at two.
00;28;08;08 - 00;28;31;10
Liv Moods
And then 11 and 411 and 411 and 410 and five nine and six. It's really going to be an interesting playoff picture when it's all said and done and the NFC mixed up all over again. Right. You got the Seattle Seahawks now at the one seed. The Rams just last week were the one seed. But losing to the Seahawks has now pushed them into a wildcard spot.
00;28;31;10 - 00;28;51;14
Liv Moods
Yes the Chicago Bears two weeks ago were the one seed one loss. They dropped to the seventh seed. The Rams were the one seed just last week, one loss to the Seattle Seahawks. They dropped to the five seed. The Seahawks are now the one seed. The NFC could look completely different by the end of the season. But right now you've got the Seahawks at one.
00;28;51;17 - 00;29;15;08
Liv Moods
You've got the Chicago Bears, who have clinched a playoff berth alongside the Seahawks at two. The Eagles have clinched the NFC East at three. Then you've got the Panthers eight and seven right now as your guys's. Those are the division leaders that we've got. The wild card is the Rams. The 40 Niners and the green Bay Packers. And then on the hunt in the hunt is the Detroit Lions and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
00;29;15;11 - 00;29;24;01
Liv Moods
Detroit Lions just experienced an fell to the Steelers really needed them to win that game. They did not. So.
00;29;24;03 - 00;29;42;08
Liv Moods
I said it a few weeks ago. The the Super Bowl is wide open. There is no and I don't care what you say. You can fight me on it. You could pretend there is, but there's not. There is no clear favorite to win the Super Bowl right now. Not at all.
00;29;42;10 - 00;30;04;20
Liv Moods
Whatsoever. So. It's interesting. It's a very interesting dynamic that we've got going on in terms of what this playoff picture could look like. It could look completely differently in two weeks when the regular season has come to an end, there's a chance the Rams still win their division.
00;30;04;23 - 00;30;27;19
Liv Moods
If they went out and the Seahawks start losing, they could win their division. Things could look completely differently a week from now, even two weeks from now. Only time will tell really quickly. Brandon, I like the things going on there with Brandon. I you look a little troubling. I would say, Shanahan had mentioned I haven't seen him in months.
00;30;27;21 - 00;30;51;12
Liv Moods
That's what we heard. That was the last thing that we heard was that he hasn't seen him in months. And then he posts a video of himself driving excessively fast past the stadium filming it. That seems very intentional, right? That he was driving past the stadium as he's filming driving really, really fast in his nice car. Here's the deal.
00;30;51;14 - 00;31;21;07
Liv Moods
There is a really fine line in this league. These players make a lot of money and they deserve it, right? They put their bodies through a lot. They train really, really hard. This is their job. They they rack in millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars for the NFL. They deserve their check. But with that, I think we've maybe put a little too much power into the hands of these athletes.
00;31;21;09 - 00;31;51;26
Liv Moods
You put power and money in the hands of these athletes at such a young age. That I think sometimes the idea of this being their job gets a little jaded, because it's it's more than that, really. It's a lifestyle that these guys are living. They're traveling everywhere. They're missing holidays with their families. They have to completely alter their lives around this, you know, for the for a lot of the people in society, they can work and then clock out and move on.
00;31;51;27 - 00;32;24;00
Liv Moods
The these athletes have a very different situation. Their job consumes them. It's their entire personality. It almost has to be, So if you're not even getting Brandon, I used to show up right now. What he's almost like. I don't want to say mocking, but it certainly feels that way. The last franchise that he was playing for, how marketable is he?
00;32;24;03 - 00;32;45;08
Liv Moods
How much stock does he have? Right. He was dealing with injuries. We know what he can be when he's in his prime. There's no denying he's not a skilled and talented player. But what does it look like for Brandon? I you what kind of image is he creating right now and how attractive is he to other teams? Are we watching a little bit of a downfall right now in terms of his career?
00;32;45;08 - 00;32;52;17
Liv Moods
I really hope not. But maybe. But maybe.
00;32;52;20 - 00;33;14;17
Liv Moods
Okay guys, that kind of does it for the show. I really wanted to spend a lot of the time today talking about the Denver Broncos. Obviously, we're not thrilled with this, right? We're not happy with the L, but the L, in my opinion, is a blessing in disguise. This is the perfect opportunity for the Denver Broncos to take a look in the mirror and say, okay, we're not unfamiliar with a bounce back.
00;33;14;20 - 00;33;41;15
Liv Moods
Ask the fourth quarter. She knows she's known all season. We're not unfamiliar with being in the trenches, having things not go our way and having to figure it out. So this is the perfect opportunity to kind of reignite that flame a little bit, lock in, get focused, regroup, polish up ahead of the playoffs because you can't lose in the playoffs.
00;33;41;17 - 00;34;03;08
Liv Moods
So it's better to lose now. And to the haters out there that we're waiting 13 weeks. Oh my gosh, how embarrassing. I keep saying it, but it's so embarrassing to the haters that waited 13 weeks. They had to wait 11 straight victories to be right about the Broncos to have their little I told you so moment. Now it's my turn.
00;34;03;08 - 00;34;16;24
Liv Moods
I told you so. Here's what I'm telling you. So right now we're still 12 and three still number one in the AFC. Still the best team in the AFC West. So.
00;34;16;27 - 00;34;35;24
Liv Moods
I'm just saying what what exactly are you telling me. You know but it's good. It's good for this Broncos team to lose. It's good for them to see that they can be beat and just how easily things cannot go their way if they don't show up. Like I said, you win 11 straight games. Naturally, complacency is attached to that.
00;34;36;00 - 00;34;57;17
Liv Moods
I don't think the Broncos got complacent necessarily. I think that complacency is just a part of riding that adrenaline wave a little bit. So this is good. This is a reality check and we're still 12 and three guys. Let's all just namaste. Stay in our lane and let the Denver Broncos do what they do best win football games.
00;34;57;17 - 00;35;18;20
Liv Moods
They've been doing it all season long okay. And that does not happen by chance. Winning 11 straight NFL games. This is the highest level of football okay. Strength of schedule. Throw it out the window. ZIP it. That was based on predictions before the season started.
00;35;18;23 - 00;35;38;07
Liv Moods
It used to be scary to have the Ravens and the Chiefs on your schedule this season. Not so much. Okay, so strength of schedule. Boo. I don't care. That's irrelevant. This is the highest level of football. And the Broncos found ways to win 11 straight times. That's the conversation ender right there. That's the period at the end of the sentence.
00;35;38;10 - 00;35;58;20
Liv Moods
They know how to win. This is exactly what this Broncos team needed. And they will be just fine. 12 and three. Can't be mad. You live and you learn and you learn a lot about yourself when you lose, you learn more about yourself when you lose than when you ride. 11 straight victories, I can tell you that right now.
00;35;58;22 - 00;36;22;04
Liv Moods
So Broncos country, we're going to be okay. And so are the Denver Broncos haters. Enjoy your little I told you so moment. It'll be over next week okay. Actually it'll be over on Christmas. Merry Christmas to you hater. Anyway, that does it for another episode of Mood Swings with live Moods. Thank you for joining me. So much. Love to you all.
00;36;22;10 - 00;36;35;03
Liv Moods
