#286: 2021 Week 9 NFL Preview (with Hal Bent)

Sports Krunch w/DKROM

1. Week 8 Takeaways

-Me: Dallas Cowboys have a “team of destiny” feel to them

-Hal: Backup QB showcase

2. Truth or Exaggeration

-If the Saints offense sputters these next few weeks without Jameis Winston, the Saints should immediately sign Cam Newton

-Stuck in the swamps of mediocrity, Vikings owner Zygi Wilf should pivot in a new direction by firing both Mike Zimmer and Rick Spielman after the season should they miss the playoffs

-After trading away Von Miller, the Broncos should trade all five of their top 100 2022 draft picks plus another future first or two for Russell Wilson should he become available

-If the Cowboys fail to reach the NFC Championship, Jerry Jones should fire Mike McCarthy and promote Kellen Moore to head coach

-Unless the Raiders or Chargers self-destruct, the Chiefs will either barely sneak in to the playoffs…or not make the playoffs at all

-The Chargers inability to stop the run will prevent them from winning the AFC West

-Because of the potential season-ending injury to Derrick Henry, the Indianapolis Colts have an excellent chance to win the AFC South

3. This or That

-Who is more likely to reach Super Bowl LVI: Rams or Cowboys?

-Which long-tenured head coach is more likely to be coaching the exact same team 10 years from now: Sean Payton or Mike Tomlin?

-Which backup QB had the more impressive performance on Sunday: Mike White or Cooper Rush?

-Which team has been the bigger disappointment: Dolphins or Washington?
