What does Jesse Palmer think about the NFL Divisional Round matchups?
Let's bring in a real broadcaster. A real broadcaster. All right, here he is, this guy. How about this, Jesse? Jesse Palmer joining us. Just taking heat, man. I'm trying to just do my thing here, and these guys, no support for me. It's very disappointing.
It's great seeing you guys. You're just catching strays over there, Hayes, all day. It's like stray hay over there. It's just friendly fire coming from every direction.
No kidding. Well, I mean, you've called a bunch of games. You've done studio work. You've done it all. What's it like being in the booth for, like, a big game? And you know there's millions of people watching.
I mean, it's exciting. It's nerve wracking for sure. But it's just like when you play, I think you just have to sort of remind yourself that it's still just a game. I think it's important in that job to treat every game like it's the biggest game of the week. I mean, there's a lot of games you call where you know there's nobody at home watching. And sometimes those are the ones that, you know, you take your foot off the gas a little bit. And those are ones that you can make the biggest mistakes. And so I think it's just it's just an approach of knowing, you know, I don't think you you prepare more for the big game than you do a smaller game. You should prepare a lot for all the games and and just kind of go into it as prepped as you can be and just try to be as as present and just try to be a fan and just think about the fans at home and what they want to know and what they want you to talk about.
I think those are things you got to think about.
What do you think of the criticism Romo's getting? Jesse, you think it's kind of warranted or you don't comment on what other people do or just what are your thoughts on it?
How does Josh Allen impact the Buffalo Bills' playoff chances?
I mean, it's hard for me to do because I just don't know what Tony's prep is and sort of what his process is. I know everybody has that. And I know I think for broadcasters, just like for players, I think there's ups and downs and I think there's a lot of excitement around Tony, certainly when he started his career and some of the fresh perspective and the fresh energy and, you know, diagramming plays before they happen and all that sort of thing. And, you know, he's been at it a long time now, and Tony's called a lot of big-time games, and he works with one of the best in the business in Jim Nance. And, you know, it's kind of hard to say. I mean, I enjoy watching him every week. I enjoy watching all the guys.
I sort of appreciate everybody's different approach to it and different style, you know, and you kind of take it that way. Is that the most Canadian answer ever? Yeah, very Canadian. We love us.
I just want to present this scenario to you because I am on a team with Hayes here who was catching strays, and he basically takes suggestions for who he thinks is going to win, and then he just goes into a room, locks the door, and he said, I don't care what you guys think, but let me present this scenario for you. The Seahawks blow out the 49ers, and the Broncos blow out the Bills. Thoughts on that?
Right.
Yeah. Okay. Well, so here's the thing. With Seattle... If Sam Darnold doesn't turn it over, I could see them winning convincingly in that game. I really could. Turnovers have been the biggest problem for him, obviously. He led the NFL with 20 giveaways throughout the regular season, and their run defense is outstanding. And they took away Christian McCaffrey in the final game of the regular season to lock up the one seed because of the defense, because of the 12s, playing at home, decimated Niners defense, no George Kittle. I mean, I could see, yeah, I could see Seahawks. I could see it. I could see the Seahawks winning by a lot. Everything on paper tells me the Broncos are going to win by a lot. The only thing, I don't know if any of you guys are as big a believer in him as I am, too, or just it always forces you to pause, but the Josh Allen factor to me, man.
What are the key factors for the Bears facing the Rams?
yes is is crazy it is and it's like i know like i i'm very aware of how good denver's defense is and how good that pass rush is and what that's going to be like playing at home and how the noise impacts that and affects that also uh josh allen's receiving core is completely decimated right now josh palmer goes to ir on saturday before the game they lose gabe davis a few plays before that and he's shorthanded here and he's thrown to a guy that wasn't on the team a
