1. Week 16 Reactions
-Biggest Lesson Learned (DKrom: No clear cut Super Bowl favorite in either conference, Hal: SO much bad QB play around the NFL, more great ones are needed)
-GOAT of the Week (DKrom: Dak Prescott, Hal: Chiefs defense)
-DUNCE of the Week (DKrom: Russell Wilson, Hal: Titans/Colts/Broncos)
2. Do you get the feeling that the Walton/Penner ownership group will give the new Broncos head coach even more power than GM George Paton, essentially making the latter expendable as early as after the draft?
3. Should the Jets offer the Ravens three first-round picks and one of their start young players (say Quinnen Williams) for Lamar Jackson?
4. With the injury to Lane Johnson, how much danger are the Eagles chances of getting the NFC's #1 seed in?
5. Truth or Exaggeration
-Making the playoffs will NOT be enough to save Brandon Staley's job because Sean Payton wants to return to coaching in 2023
-Jim Harbaugh will remain at Michigan for the 2023 season
-The Jets will make the playoffs
-The Packers will make the playoffs
-With the AFC South crown not to be decided until Week 18, both the Jaguars and Titans should rest their starters this week
-The 2022 NFL MVP will be the QB of the team that clinches the AFC's #1 playoff seed
-Even though it will very possibly (if not likely) cost them a playoff spot, the Dolphins MUST put Tua Tagovailoa on ice for the remainder of the season
-The Bengals are the most balanced team of the AFC's top Super Bowl contenders
6. Bills at Bengals Preview
-What is more crucial for the Bills to win this all-important game: The pass rush or the running game?
