I will have a look at your neighborhood plus what you can expect in the extended forecast coming up. A little bit of christmas football. The 49ers today and tomorrow the raiders and the eagles in prime time. The mothers are saying, you finally get the family together and then you have to pull them off the tv. The toughest test today with a new look at the jacksonville jaguars. They will be front and center and joining us on the phone with a preview. Joe, good morning. It sounds a little weird to say one of the best teams in the league is the jacksonville jaguars. I know. I guess they picked up tom coughlin and they have turned their season around. Havent they . Yes, they found a quarterback who can play himself. They have the number one defense in the league. We have talked about how the bar has been raised every time jimmy has gone out. We talked about the fact that before he saw a playoff team for the first time. You can make a case that the first two wins were not that good. Then he went out to beat the titans which was a playoff team and now he is going to face the team with the number one defense in the league. The bar has been raised a little bit. If they win this week, they are really saying, youve got the real deal for quarterback. Talk about a team turning itself around with the quarterback. Is that with 49ers are hoping with hoping for . No question. Thats the most important part of the field. The franchise quarterback is a difficult thing to find in the fornicators have found that guy and the 49ers have found that guy. It is amazing in the second round draft pick that things turned out that way. You bring in a guy that can sit in a pocket and take a hit and deliver the ball on the money. He has a little brady in him, dont you think . Yeah. I think one of the things that people like so much about him is that he has that Quick Release and the ability to move around the pocket. And then, it is a little bit of a football clichi, but it is making everybody around you a little better. You know . From what we have seen so far, that is the characteristic that he seems to be showing. Do you think 49ers can be the jaguars today . You have to think you can win any time you go onto the field. I would say it is obviously the odds are against them, but why not . Why not . It certainly turn heads in the last forfive weeks. Lets move onto the raiders. We have to after that thursday night pylon situation. [ laughter ]. We watch them on christmas night and they still have a shot. Can they beat an eagles team . No one has done it in philly this year. I think the likelihood of mr. Scrooge finding a conscience is more likely than the scenario for the raiders to be in the playoffs at this point. There are so many crazy things that have to happen just today in order for them not to be eliminated from the playoffs. So today is very important for them. I think there are three things that have to happen in terms of one team beating another team. So, in all likelihood, they could be eliminated before they play tomorrow night, depending on what happens today. Very true. It was all about the raiders going to the super bowl. And now here are the niners going 0 and 9 and everybody is talking about that. Its amazing how quickly things can change in pro sports. You know, people make assumptions and thats why i like the Patriots Team or a 49ers team. It is just year after year when people are able to continue to be that speed elite teams. It is so hard to do. I say this every year. Take a picture of those people and thats the last time they will be together in the same place. Every year it is about acquiring pieces and losing a guy and then having that same thing in the locker room. People just assume and you cant make that assumption. Things change quickly in pro sports. It can change quickly during the season. Thank you very much and have a merry christmas. Merry christmas to you guys too. Take care.
