#184: NFL 2019 Week 15 Preview with Matt Barr
from Sports Krunch w/DKROM · host Sports Krunch
1. Week 14 Takeaways Me: -It is the gravest injustice in the history of the NFL that a 12-win team (49ers or Seahawks) will have to go on the road for a playoff game against a 7-8 wins team (Eagles or Cowboys). And even worse? The NFL hasn’t even considered reforming their flawed playoff seeding system, which allows a division winner a home game!! Matt: Niners with a statement 2. Truth/Exaggeration -The New England Patriots should be docked another first-round draft pick for being caught in an incident that is now being widely coined “Spygate 2.0” -Barring an absolute implosion over these final three weeks, the Broncos must plan on sinking or swimming with Drew Lock as their unquestioned starting QB in 2020 -The Jets should NOT trade Jamal Adams unless they get a first-round pick, a fourth-round pick, AND an equally talented player in return -IF Philip Rivers retires or departs in free agency, the Chargers MUST draft a QB in the first round if the right one is there -If Thomas Dimitroff is retained as Falcons GM, that will be enough to get Josh McDaniels to leave New England this time and become the Falcons head coach -The Browns should fire both HC Freddie Kitchens AND GM John Dorsey after this season -Ryan Tannehill deserves serious MVP consideration if the Titans go on to win the AFC South and/or mount a deep playoff run 3. Game of the Week: Texans at Titans -Do you anticipate this game being a shootout? An unexpected defensive struggle? Or somewhere in between? -X Factors for each team. Texans: Will Fuller (Me), Deshaun Watson (Matt) Titans: A.J. Brown (Me), A.J. Brown (Matt) -Key matchups: Jeffery Simmons versus Texans iOL, Harold Landry versus Chris Clark, Derrick Henry vs. Texans DL -Game picks 4. Game of the Week: Bills at Steelers -This game certainly has defensive struggle written all over it. Will it surprise you to see both offenses to have a somewhat conservative game plan to try not to turn the ball over and win the field position battle, especially early? -X Factors for each team Bills: Devin Singletary, Cole Beasley Steelers: Diontae Johnson, T.J. Watt -Key matchups: T.J. Watt and Bud Dupree vs. Dion Dawkins and Cody Ford, Ed Oliver vs. DeCastro/Pouncey -Game picks 5.
