Colin gives his instant reaction to the afternoon slate of Week 3 NFL games, including a troubling trend in a rare Bills loss, if he thinks less of the Bucs after their home loss to the Packers, Green Bay’s obvious weakness, if Kyler Murray is justifying offseason concerns about his preparation, and why bad first impressions haven’t derailed the Eagles.

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to react to the Seahawks dominating win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

They start with Seattle’s dominating defense pressuring Drake Maye all night and the Patriots offensive line being overwhelmed (2:45) . Colin highlights the arc of Sam Darnold’s career and that with the right coaching he was an effective game manager that didn’t make a big mistake in the biggest moment (5:15). 

They point to New England’s defense getting tired in the second half due to their offense being unable to stay on the field and the dam finally breaking… but Colin argues that New England is still in a “rebuild” stage despite being in the Super BowL (9:30).

They evaluate a Seahawks roster that doesn’t have an apparent “need” and debate what pieces they should look to add to their Super Bowl winning roster (14:15), and Colin argues there haven’t been many better stories in NFL history than Sam Darnold (23:15). Colin says Drake Maye has nothing to hang his head about and lost to one of the best teams in the last decade… but that Drake wasn’t ready for this moment (31:30).

They look ahead to the 2026 season and predict which teams will be back in postseason contention & who won’t, and they agree the Seahawks GM John Schneider has locked up his case for the Hall of Fame (37:45). 

Finally, Colin believes the ups and downs of Sam Darnold’s career will lead him to continue taking team friendly deals in a favorable situation (53:00), and they agree the Seahawks sale price just went up by a billion dollars (1:00:30).

INSTANT REACTION: Seahawks Dominate Patriots To Win The Super Bowl, Sam Darnold’s Incredible Career Arc

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/87955914-7b56-4e76-96b2-b3ec0057046e/transcript

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the  top NFL headlines.

They start with Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah being fired and point to animosity behind the scenes in Minnesota with the coaches and some bad draft choices…especially JJ McCarthy as the reasons why (3:30). Colin argues that while the organization has supported McCarthy publicly, behind the scenes there’s a serious lack of confidence in him (9:30) and Kwesi took too much time away during training camp in a business where grinding is paramount (14:00).

They discuss which of the new coaching hires will be viewed as a success in 5 years: Colin points to Raiders new head coach Klint Kubiak as a hit and John agrees and argues that if needed, the Raiders could trade Maxx Crosby for a haul that could help reset the franchise (22:30).

Colin tries to identify other quarterbacks that were labeled “busts”, then end up ascending to a convincing top 7-8 quarterback in the league and they debate where to rank Darnold in the QB hierarchy if he wins a Super Bowl (28:30). Colin argues that football has changed, and that having a quarterback with “horsepower” is worth putting up with more mistakes and interceptions (35:00).

Finally, John points out the $10 billion dollar sale price of the Lakers and they discuss why the floated 6-8 billion dollar estimated price for the Seahawks seems way too low for a team in the Super Bowl and set up for long term success (45:00).

Super Bowl Week Preview: Darnold From Bust To Top Ten QB, Seahawks Valuation Too Low, Vikings Fire GM, Kubiak Will Succeed 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/6e4cc331-de43-43ed-9ddb-b3e600065792/transcript

Colin’s top takes of the week.

First, he’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1.

They start with Bill Belichick not making the Hall of Fame on the first ballot and Colin recaps all the cheating scandals the Patriots were involved in, and that the people claiming his first year exclusion is outrageous… are suffering from collective amnesia (3:00). 

They preview the Super Bowl & Colin predicts the young Seahawks roster could play tight under the bright lights and that the Pats experience might lead to him picking them to win, but Danny argues the Pats are a bit lucky to be there & not as dominant as Seattle (12:15). They debate where to rank Sam Darnold in the quarterback hierarchy if he wins the Super Bowl, and why Darnold’s redemption arc should provide hope for other young quarterbacks who landed in bad situations as rookies (19:30). 

Then, he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out”.

They break down the Patriots win in a blizzard over the Broncos (29:45) and Colin argues that the Broncos would have won with Bo Nix. 

Finally, they break down the NFL coaching carousel & Mike McCarthy’s hire by the Steelers (41:15).
