1. Wild Card Weekend Takeaways
Me: The Kirk Cousins hate must stop NOW
Hal: Redemption for Deshaun Watson and Kirk Cousins and emergence of the new guard (Titans)
2. Truth/Exaggeration
-The NFL should modify its OT rules allowing each team to possess the ball in OT REGARDLESS of what happens on the first possession
-The NFL must adjust the Rooney Rule by putting in a requirement that teams MUST interview at least one minority HC candidate from OUTSIDE your organization that has never previously been an NFL head coach
-The winner of Saturday’s Vikings/49ers game will be the eventual NFC Champion
-The Redskins must NOT trade the second overall pick unless they get an RG3-style king’s ransom (meaning firsts in 2020, 2021 AND 2022) in return
-People should bet on the Vikings, Titans AND Texans to cover the spread this weekend
3. Coaching Carousel
-Cowboys: Michael Lombardi said that while Mike McCarthy is the perfect fit for the Cowboys given the fact that McCarthy isn’t a guy that’s going to upstage Jerry Jones, he is “skeptical” whether or not McCarthy will bring the team successful long-term. Do you share that view?
-Panthers: Do you think Matt Rhule will end up being the best hire of this cycle?
-Giants: Thoughts on the Joe Judge hire?
-Browns: (Assuming McDaniels decides not to go there If the Vikings lose), should they immediately pounce on Stefanski? If Niners lose, should they pounce on Saleh?
4. QB Carousel
-If Josh McDaniels stays in New England, how much does that increase the likelihood Brady stays? If Brady is not a Patriot in 2020, where does he play?
-What SHOULD the Saints do: Re-sign Brees? Re-sign Bridgewater? Re-sign Taysom Hill?
5. Divisional Round Weekend
-Vikings at 49ers (Analysis, Game Picks)
-Titans at Ravens (Analysis, Game Picks)
-Texans at Chiefs (Analysis, Game Picks)
-Seahawks at Packers (Analysis, Game Picks)
6. BOLD PREDICTIONS
ME: Dalvin Cook gets 200 scrimmage yards and 2 TD runs of 20+ yards
HAL: NEITHER Desahun Watson and Patrick Mahomes throw 200 passing yards or a TD
7. Challenge Flags
ME: Divisional round…be just as exciting as Wild Card
HAL: Mike Zimmer and Mike Vrabel….DON’T TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS
