Show notes

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the AFC and NFC Championship games!

They start with Bills offense being too predictable and Josh Allen reliant and the credit the Chiefs coaches for consistently finding answers (3:45). They contrast Patrick Mahomes being completely cool and under control to Josh Allen being wobbly and inconsistent early in the game (7:00). They dismiss the controversies around the officials and explain why the Bills were lucky the game was as close as it was (10:00).

Colin calls the Chiefs trio of Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid and Steve Spagnuolo as the greatest QB/HC/DC combo in the history of the league (15:15), and credits the Chiefs and Eagles GMs as a huge reason they are in the Super Bowl (29:00). They preview the Super Bowl matchup and agree that the Chiefs match up MUCH better with the Eagles than the Bills would have (34:00).

They pivot to the Eagles drubbing the Commanders 55-23 and why the gap in talent between the two teams was on full display (36:15). They heap praise on Saquon Barkley as an “all-timer” at the running back position (40:15), and question what the Bills should do with head coach Sean McDermott after another heartbreaking loss (50:30).

Finally, they try to make sense of the Cowboys hiring Brian Schottenheimer as their next head coach and why the move proves the franchise has become dysfunctional (58:45), and why Andy Reid has the chance to cement himself in the conversation of greatest head coach in NFL history (1:07:00).

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the action from the divisional round of the NFL Playoffs!

They discuss the incredibly bright future for the Commanders being able to surround superstar rookie QB Jayden Daniels with talent while he’s on a rookie deal (42:00).

Finally, they preview the National Championship between Ohio State and Notre Dame, debate whether Notre Dame has a chance to upset the Buckeyes, and wonder whether Marcus Freeman should consider one of the NFL head coaching openings (1:20:30).
