Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - Daniel Jones Won NFL Wild Card Weekend, the LA Chargers Blame Game & Cowboys-Buccaneers Preview

On today's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) bring you wall-to-wall coverage of NFL Wild Card Weekend. We've been told that the NFL is a Quarterback League so naturally guys like Skylar Thompson and Tyler Huntley went toe-to-toe with MVP candidates Josh Allen and Joe Burrow. However, it's clear that the one guy who 'won' the weekend is New York Giants signal caller Daniel Jones. Jones out-dueled Kirk Cousins in what was easily his best game of the season. The question then now becomes whether or not Jones has shown enough over the last two months to solidify himself as the Giants' franchise quarterback moving forward. On the flip side, the clear 'losers' of the weekend were Los Angeles Chargers, who blew a 27-0 lead to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Brandon Staley showed once again that he's not quite cut out to be the head coach of an NFL with Super Bowl aspirations. If the Chargers weren't such a historically cheap franchise they would seem like a lock to nab Sean Payton to be their next head coach this offseason. Moreover, Rob G argues that a loss like the one the Chargers suffered proves once and for all that Justin Herbert should no longer be included in the group of elite quarterbacks. Is Herbert an elite QB, or is he just the second coming of the Detroit Lions version of Matthew Stafford? Finally, the guys close the show by previewing tonight's game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Are the Bucs being oversold in this spot? Is Mike McCarthy's job on the line? The guys have the answers to those questions - and more!
