Summary

Wild Card Weekend had everything, including one brutal Packers collapse that had everyone wondering if Matt LaFleur could actually be in trouble. Then Adam Schefter pours water on it with a new contract expectation, and Evan and Tiki connect the dots to the coaching carousel and why John Harbaugh might be the one move that freezes everything else. The guys hit the Sirianni vs AJ Brown sideline blowup, what Philly’s loss really means, and why Giants fans can probably relax about certain “new” vacancies. Then they dive into the Bills vs Jaguars finish and the debate that took over sports bars everywhere: kneel at the 1 and bleed clock, or take the touchdown and trust your defense? Plus, the end-of-half officiating mess that almost became the story of the week. Also in Hour 1: why the Jets feel like they’re playing a different sport after watching playoff football, what makes the Patriots defense so hard to diagnose, and Tony Romo’s all time confusing broadcast moment that had everyone asking, “What game are you watching?”

Despite the Packers having an epic collapse on Saturday night against Chicago, as you may have heard with the morning guys, Adam Schaefters already said the expectation is Matt LaFleur and the Packers are going to agree to a new contract.

0:12.5

So despite the results not going your way if you were watching this in terms of giant head coaching possibilities, I think you guys survived it.

0:22.2

I don't think there's any new vacancies.

0:24.4

You should be worried about.

0:25.3

Now look, there are still a bunch of vacancies out there, seven of them, six of them,

0:29.5

and not including Baltimore, because he's not going back there that John Harborough could

0:32.5

actually go to.

0:33.4

But at the end of the day, our rooting interest wasn't served this weekend,

0:39.5

and it doesn't seem like it came to haunt us.

0:42.1

The interesting thing that I'm just talking to Sean about,

0:45.5

how come no coach has been hired yet?

0:48.0

There's been no movement with any of the openings.

0:50.4

There's a bunch of openings, and there's a bunch of candidates,

0:53.0

and I guess some of the

0:54.3

waiting for the coordinators who get knocked out of the playoffs becomes an issue as well because

0:59.0

you can only do Zoom meetings, not in person meetings, but what are we waiting for? And Sean said,

1:04.9

it's John Harbaugh. So John Harbaugh is the Juan Soto. Yeah. Of this offseason. Of this NFL offseason. We're not fully in it yet. But you know what I mean? The teams that are eliminated. He's the Juan Soto. He's the Don. He's the prize. And until he moves, nobody's going to do anything. Because Cleveland thinks they have a shot at him. We obviously, the Giants do, the dolphins do. Everybody thinks

1:29.3

that they have a shot at John Hallwall, obviously not the Baltimore Ravens, but we're going

1:33.9

to have to wait until he decides what he wants to do. Because it's really going to come down to

1:38.6

that. Now, he's asking for a ton of money. I know you all saw this over the weekend. He's asking

1:43.1

for $20 million in salary, which is at the top top end of what head coaches make, and then $10 million for his staff. Well, I don't know if that report is true, by the way. Whatever. I don't know if I buy that. Yeah, I think that got debunk the 20 mil fare. Yeah. I think that was John Hall. By the way, this is what he deserves.

2:01.2

Well, yeah.
