Peter King, S.I./HBO/NFL on NBC

" Every week we talked to Peter King -- you buy 1800 mattress most comfortable mattresses on -- purchased phone call away at 1800 mattress call like kick off. For delivery not I have to I'm like Peter tried to by the -- game I don't post game show 1800. ME IT TRE -- about the last desperate savings on line mattress dot com. I'm sorry Peter not our listeners believe that -- actually in Green Bay before playoff game come on your --"

" I am in greens today I -- joke walked out of the Lambeau field -- I have all the inside information come on challenge it was."

" Well well first -- are going to be having dinner and Appleton and Oshkosh. Green Bay -- well what we're we're going for dinner."

" I won't be having lunch in apple and in about an hour. And that will be having it hurt it historic union hotel in appear Wisconsin right outside pretty good."

" What makes institution historic other than. -- your stay -- other than its own advertising we're historic based on what."

" I you know it's one up for a game I had my choice and the reason that I did this. Right -- Peter the end of the evening meal break or I'm probably going to be in the play out of the championship game. But I do that. I saw this -- Saturday it wouldn't be that much of a stretch. Yet to be -- in Indianapolis on Sunday just to watch and say. Spectator the last Monday morning quarterback that's already that's what Sports Illustrated so you now that might -- dark strategy."

" I well we we love it now you've got I'm guessing you've got the Packers. Creating the Seahawks just -- well there."

" It's not the early in the week at the Packers beating the talks which I believed fervently. And now today this morning I've switched and I'm not going to retake it on line. But if I edit it do all over again I would take I'd -- Seattle because I guess every questions about the Packers ability to handle. The pressure from Seattle. I just chat with Mike McCarthy and he acknowledged their pressure but he also said you've got to look at them on -- Curses on grass or any Edgar their speed so far this year me he'd say is reading between the lines but he obviously. Thinks that the speed is negated when they play on slower tracks so -- clearly Julian Peterson. -- Are going to be a little bit less effective come around the corner they're coming around in a little bit of streak including."

" Sense the NFL went to the current playoff format 1990 teams coming off well by our 53 and fifteen. Winning percentage of 779. Well first all the teams that have the -- good that's they earned the bye and second ball they target in the rest what you think in this game in Green Bay it might not be enough."

" Well I'd feel a lot better if it's like about the Packers could protect far if you eat it like not that they could protect our model leaks I just happen to think that. That the rush that I thought last weekend against the Redskins line and I will say this. You know -- and and then you know O'Donnell Chad -- blood I think interior. You know big Green -- line is a good line. Boy he just as shown. The ability to get neutral -- beaten by speed rushers and so I'd. You know I'm just a little bit 8 PM might take me out right at the get go organized pro --"

" Before we go over to the AFC Peter want to ask you about the giants cowboys game in the third game this year you think the giants finally topped that they cowboys --"

" I don't in you know what cliche I hate I absolutely hate. -- so hard to beat a team three times in one -- crap. -- It's hard to beat any team in the playoffs I don't care who it is it's going to be hard for the patriots beat Jacksonville. Blah I mean you know it's saved it. You know you want to beat paper if you're all wouldn't go against the team already -- want to -- and yet that's a lot of -- this week especially New York they get very excited last two weeks which obviously they shouldn't have I mean. Eli -- In the last two games to New York Giants. Is 871% passer any have that maybe only made one big mistake that was beat. The interception he -- the patriots game in the tight game in the fourth quarter. But I mean to me I look at I look at more of -- team has done for the whole year. And I also look at a team that's going to be -- Terrell Owens back. And I just don't -- per second that Terrell Owens is it going to be. 98 point 7% -- whatever number it is I think he's going to be fine and I am not saying kill the giants -- I think the giants played well but I think Ellis is going to win that game."

" Peter how much turmoil is there in the cowboys' coaching staff with the possibilities of its Toronto and -- getting jobs elsewhere. The theoretical possibility that if one of both of those guys -- they'll take some assistance whether and how much will that disrupt the cowboys this week."

" Well I don't think they're going to take any assistant. That Jerry Jones and wade -- don't want to take I'm gonna -- up to tell you that I believe that. The and the Dallas Cowboys have no. Since the -- that Bill Parcells took the job with the Miami Dolphins to. That he was probably get a higher -- were -- it's his coach so weird that knowledge. Okay they party Jerry Jones hurting you as he sought its speed and unfold that here's a good chance. Jason Garrett is going to get offered the head coach self or whether he takes order -- Jones obviously colts beat doubt that. He knew that there was a good opportunity. -- also -- bulk of those guys to leave. So I don't really believe there's a lot of turmoil at all quite honestly I think they're more a sense of you know let's make sure that we do everything we can't to try to win because this could be the last opportunity. For this team as it exists right now the play together now. If you were asked any question -- we all think its for a thousand -- if you were asked me to question. One might think it could happen adjacent to air your ears right thank. I think he's going to get offer to beat head coach of the Baltimore ravens after cowboys played their last game and and I think he's going to have to think a -- out there because he really wants to be at coach. The big question is going to be. Do I believe that I should leave a situation with a young quarterback. And a team that probably get a win for awhile and it seemed at at the very least he's not going to be awful -- ever going to be. You know the number eight number eight most want -- assistant coach. In any year that -- two or three years -- you know as far as you know people wanting you for for one -- vacancies. So I have to decide whether I want to go place that is -- absolute ground zero with a quarterback. And I think that the decision Jason Gary's going to have to make but I do believe he's going to be tempted to take that -- involved."

" When it gets you back to the games for a second out -- AFC. A team we never hear about happens to be the Super Bowl champion the defending superbowl champs the Indianapolis Colts how do you see that game unfolding against San Diego."

" The last three times they've played San Diego was 12 in the third one they lost 3431 and overtime. Two of those games have been in Indianapolis so this team is not going to be remotely -- Or eight you know intimidated or or. Or you know the moment isn't going to be too big for I think the big factor here is. Q Phillip rivers take a page from Eli Manning played book. Local -- state quarters and play efficient. Accurate football if Pete does that. Diego has an excellent chance to win this game I truly believe because they create a lot of matchup problems physically -- the colts bought. And then that would surprise me if he plays an efficient 68% passing. You know with no interceptions that Ned just -- surprised -- so. And in my opinion I think Tony Kent he's absolutely right -- added to me about three weeks ago he repeated it. There about three times this week we're better team that we were a year ago so I expect us to play better to go far into the playoffs so. Having said that I mean I think it's eight Diego is going to have to play. -- on almost flawless game on offense to be able to witness. Or at Indianapolis I think they're just going to have to play like Indianapolis you know in order when."

" You said that if you had to do it over again you might take back -- Seattle Green Bay prediction which was green bank. If you had to do it over again which changer patriots Jacksonville prediction."

" No I non not at all and I think I think -- England. Trust evolve you look at the weather which when I looked on Wednesday you've got -- if I have any different. It may not not strong wins no precipitation. Temperature in -- warnings."

" Actually be warmer than that."

" Okay well this committee met through that immediately very clear advantage for the patriots. Because if they can play the field is not -- muddy today you know which you shouldn't be obviously. Since we're not playing on grass anymore but if you if the field is not slippery. And -- Randy Moss and Wes Welker can play their games this is -- really lined up well because Brady's going to be able to throw the ball. End he even now I think Jacksonville. In an ideal world. -- first game of the season -- early on could represented more problems I think the injuries on their defensive line and even now. -- missed practice one day this week B I think because of the knee injury and -- play but it doesn't look like Henderson played he played so they'll be very limited so I mean the strength of that deep sense. It was them being able to throw use a 12 punch of Henderson and stir in the middle line you know if that's not there I just -- a lot of what they do. -- they don't do nearly as well."

" You know Peter 5 jaguars won twelve games didn't get a lot of love. The 7 jaguars won eleven games they are America's darlings right now what do you think the differences between those two -- 5 team know seventy."

" And efficient quarterback and blood and efficient quarterback school. In the glare -- his first playoff start last week did not play well. And at the presence of mine late to make -- 32 yards skipper it's save them. I mean this is going to be out if he turns it over a couple of times in the first half David Bert he won't be much of a game at all again I want to be careful in trying to make anything 1. EL insane at the moment was too big farms throughout belief that I believe Daugherty in the play well on -- efficiently in this game. I guess they keep it you know unless they can string together a couple of real clock eating drives early. It is hard for me to believe that they can win issues that with the patriots."

" Was Pete Carroll serious at all."

" Now Pete count this as this thing and I think -- we probably would be the same thing if -- issues he is never. Not going to listen but everything about that job was wrong. First of all the -- people doing interviews -- coaching job and the and the GM job you know everybody their front office having piece -- the -- If he goes anywhere in the NFL he's going to do it with total absolute authority. Can argument to a with a guy like rich McKay looked over shoulders they can say whatever they want about it being. All he and administrative guy in order French -- But how much refrigerate art -- EP if you promise Pete Carroll that he will have every bit of the sorority. On the personality coaching side and so I guess it was not a good fit slightly -- ought to lead the west coast he doesn't want to leave the west coast. -- it -- I don't think he was ever going to do anything except politely listened. And -- the want to also told market like -- year ago very quietly in the is never got out I have no interest in this job I think I just don't think that this was anywhere near fit for him."

" Peter two names that come up recently in the past few weeks four openings have been Josh mcdaniels who who declined so I'm going to concentrate on the playoffs. And almost top Thomas to -- who is -- as you know with the patriots in the patriots scouting departments that are. They're big guy under Scott pioli what is the reputation of these guys throughout the NFL on do you think -- possibility. That one of them Dmitri off especially to leave after this season."

" Well obviously -- the angels who took me years sort of being tight mean -- He wants to learn and you know it's a little bit different situation anti he'd been the Belichick for for ten years before lap. So different ATP has been with them for what seven -- immediately forget but he -- out for -- long injury laws. I think what we beat him in what is absolutely right. He's young he note -- you have a better chance he knows he can improve and he knows that as long as he has Tom Brady at the controls. That -- going to have a chance to win. Why not right -- wait a little longer as well as becoming a much better football coach every year -- Bill Belichick. So I mean he -- decision. What is was smart and mature as far as the -- goes. You know all right -- witness that. Falcons would really like they have topic junior come in and take that role as soon as they are absolutely convinced -- not coming I think they're going to be asking -- her decision. And after they ask him for a decision I think then knelt filtered down enough I era pre pay -- Schneider of the falcons really like. What do you hear these people for personnel guys shall I think that -- he might -- on certain psychic weight. Eight you know after -- eight determine whether or not they're immediately get Eckert and and it's as good he'd be -- he you know I've met him once in my life I really don't know so like if I can really tell you. And being there's this all this stuff about the patriots personnel stuff is basically stuff behind it. And you don't behind the curtain you know that we never get this -- the patriots want it that -- so. Can really tell you very much about Dmitri if he works for pioli and Belichick furlong guy must be pretty good."
