#368: 2022 NFL Super Wild Card Weekend Preview (with Hal Bent)

1. Week 17 & 18 Reactions

-Biggest Lesson Learned (DKrom: 49ers now looking like NFC co-favorites at LEAST, Hal: The next generation of star NFL QB's are all in the AFC, thus prepare for AFC dominance)

-GOAT of the Week (DKrom: Danny Kellington, Hal: Danny Kellington)

-DUNCE of the Week (DKrom: Quay Walker, Hal: Cameron Achord)

2. 2023 NFL Draft

-Do you think Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud both showed in their Bowl games and this season that they have the talent that warrants a top-five pick?

-What is the wisest possible move for the Bears to make with the first overall pick: Stand pat and take best non-QB or trade back a few spots with the Colts at 4 and accumulate more picks?

3. Did we just see Aaron Rodgers play his final snap as a Packer, if not his final snap as an NFL QB altogether?

4. Coaching Carousel

    -Would you consider the Panthers as the most attractive head coaching job, even if Sean McVay leaves the Rams?

    -If the Cowboys go one-and-done in the playoffs again, would you be surprised if Jerry Jones fires Mike McCarthy?

    -Of the three hottest first-time candidates, which one do you see being the most successful: DeMeco Ryans, Shane Steichen or Ben Johnson?

    -If you were a head coaching candidate this cycle and the Texans offered you the job, how hesitant would you be to take the job given the fact that the Texans just fired two head coaches in the past two years alone?

5. Chargers at Jaguars Preview

-Headed into this game, what alarms you the most: The Chargers run defense, Trevor Lawrence's struggles the past two weeks, or the Jaguars inability to cover tight ends?

-Did Brandon Staley commit a fireable offense by playing the starters longer than he should have last week?

-Game-deciding matchups: Jamaree Salyer/Trey Pipkins vs. Josh Allen/Travon Walker, Walker Little/Jawaan Taylor vs. Joey Bosa/Khalil Mack, Jaguars iOL (Brandon Scherff, et al) vs. Chargers DL (Sebastian Joseph-Day, et al)
