NFL Wild Card Weekend is over and things we thought would happen, didn’t, and things we thought would happen, did. The biggest story of the weekend was the Cowboys getting blown out at home to the Packers. Mike McCarthy has one year left on his contract, but Gio said you cannot bring him back next season. It looks like the Packers made the right move picking Jordan Love over Aaron Rodgers. The Rams/Lions game last night was the best game of the weekend and Detroit earned another home game against the winner of tonight’s Eagles/Bucs game. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Packers win over the Cowboys. Jerry thinks they should move on from McCarthy, but keep Dak Prescott. We heard from Mike McCarthy and Jerry Jones. The Lions beat the Rams and Lions radio was very excited about it. Nick Sirianni and Baker Mayfield talked about tonight’s game in Tampa. In the final segment of the hour, the Browns got blown out to kick off Wild Card Weekend. Gio said the reason we talk about teams tanking is because there are guys like CJ Stroud available in the draft. The Texans are going to be loaded now for the next 4 or 5 years.
We get a 4:30pm game today with the Steelers at Buffalo. Gio thinks the Bills will win 31-10, but he has not been so great with his picks in the playoffs. He had the Browns going to the Super Bowl. Boomer also wonders how the Giants beat the Packers this season. We talked about the best open head coaching jobs and if the Dallas job will be next. Jerry returns for an update, but first we talked about Jim Harbaugh to the Chargers as that’s where Boomer thinks he’s going. Jerry starts with the sounds of the Lions beating the Rams in Detroit. Dan Campbell called it the best environment he’s ever been in. We heard from Cowboys radio as Dak threw a pick 6 to make it 27-0. Aaron Jones scored 3 TDs for the Packers. Mike McCarthy was asked about his future. Jerry Jones was surprised and disappointed. In the final segment of the hour, Maxx Crosby wants Antonio Pierce to stay with the Raiders and may ask for a trade if they don’t keep him. There are also reports that MikeTomlin could take a break from coaching next season. Boomer likes Mike Vrabel there if Tomlin steps away.
Gio can’t believe the amount of coaches who made it to Wild Card weekend and their jobs are still on the line. Chris Russo was fooled by a fake Adam Schefter account saying Andy Reid was retiring before this past weekend’s playoff game against the Dolphins. We also talked about the NFC North with the Lions and Packers looking great, and the Bears about to draft for Caleb Williams. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Cowboys getting blown out by the Packers. Dak Prescott said if McCarthy’s job is on the line, so should his. Cee Dee Lamb said Jordan Love found a groove. The Lions beat the Rams last night in Detroit. Jimmy Johnson was fired up at the half and Jerry said he doesn’t think McCarthy did that. Andy Reid had a frozen mustache and was asked about it after the game. Was it frozen snot or was it from his mouth? In the final segment of the hour, Jordan Love had a great game and also helped a college student stuck in the snow. And now the Packers will have another decade of great quarterback play. A caller doesn’t like all the celebrating in the NFL but Boomer said you have to understand the intensity of these games.
Tonight the Eagles play in Tampa and Gio thinks the Eagles are ‘cooked’. Of course the Bucs also only managed 9 points in their last game against the terrible Panthers. Boomer wonders where Jerry Jones’ plane is today and who he’s talking to. There’s also talk that Mike Tomlin may step down to take a break from coaching. There are a lot of big name coaches available for the first time in a long time. Jerry is here for his final update of the day and starts with the Lions beating the Rams. Matthew Stafford talked about the crowd in Detroit and the playoff atmosphere. The Cowboys got blown out at home to Green Bay. Jordan Love talked about the critics just being ‘outside noise’. Jerry wants a new coach but wants to keep Dak. The Moment of The Day involves Eddie dropping angry Jerry drops during Cowboys play by play calls. In the final segment of the show, Buffalo is still under a huge amount of snow and the game is at 4:30pm. On NFL Network Chris Rose asked Maurice Jones Drew if the Chiefs ‘could ride the D’. Gio is not excited for Eagles/Bucs.
