1. Week 15 Reactions

-Biggest Lesson Learned (DKrom: The AFC has 3 legit Super Bowl contenders, Hal: Bengals are the hottest team in the NFL and prove there's no Super Bowl hangover in Cincy)

-GOAT of the Week (DKrom: Kirk Cousins, Hal: Trevor Lawrence)

-DUNCE of the Week (DKrom: Mike McDaniel, Hal: Jeff Saturday)

2. Can the Eagles afford to rest Jalen Hurts for these next 2-3 games?  

3. Would it be a big mistake for the Texans to fire Lovie Smith and move to a third head coach in three seasons?

4. Why are the Patriots committing SO many situational errors this season that are uncharacteristic of a Bill Belichick-coached team? What changes (coaching, FO, et al) need to be made after the season? 

5. Truth or Exaggeration

-With Steve Keim taking an indefinite, health-related leave of absence, the Cardinals should use this window of opportunity to move on from both him and Kliff Kingsbury

-Should they be picking at 2 or 3 overall in the draft, it is a better idea for the Bears to stay put and take either Jalen Carter or Will Anderson (if one or both are available) than to trade down for more picks

-Justin Jefferson is the best WR in the NFL right now...and the front-runner for 2022 NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors

-The Cowboys are going to flame out early in the playoffs again...and Mike McCarthy will be fired as a result

-If Aaron Rodgers decides to play at least one more year in Green Bay, the Packers should trade their first two draft picks for a disgruntled star WR

-Kayvon Thibodeaux will end up being the best pass rusher from the 2022 draft class

-Given their play the last three weeks, the Chiefs are no longer a shoo-in for the AFC's #1 playoff seed

-The AFC South won't be decided until Week 18 when the Jaguars host the Titans

8. CHALLENGE FLAGS

-DKrom: NFL officials...THROW A FLAG when there's blatant pass interference REGARDLESS of what moment of the game it occurs

-Hal: All 32 NFL owners and Roger Goodell, spend more money on technology to improve instant replay system and hire a single official to handle replays for every game
