#187: NFL 2019 Wild Card Weekend Preview with Matt Barr

1. Week 17 Takeaways

Me: Brian Flores could be the best head coach to ever come off the Bill Belichick tree

Matt: Another Seahawks choke on the one-yard line (blame the delay of game)

2. Truth/Exaggeration 

-Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is now just as bad of an owner as the Redskins Dan Snyder

-Titans WR A.J. Brown should win Offensive Rookie of the Year award

-Dolphins WR Davante Parker should win Comeback Player of the Year award

-Out of all the four teams who earned first-round playoff byes, the Packers are the one most likely to be one and done

-The Detroit Lions should explore trading the third overall pick unless they like a certain player FAR more than others at that spot

-Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa would be making a colossal mistake if he decides to return to school 

3. Coaching Carousel

-Redskins: With the hiring of Ron Rivera and the firing of Bruce Allen, how hopeful should Redskins fans be?

-Browns: Which head coach/GM pairing would be the most ideal?

-Kevin Stefanski/Andrew Berry

-Josh McDaniels/Dave Ziegler

-Mike McCarthy/Andrew Berry

-Cowboys: Outside of treating him like a family member and ending this gracefully and respectfully, is there any other legitimate reason to wait until Jason Garrett’s contract expires on January 14? Should Jason Garrett be given another role within the organization?
