John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” joins Colin to break down the divisional round of the NFL playoffs! They break down Buffalo’s heartbreaking loss to the Chiefs and both agree that THIS was the year for the Bills to beat Patrick Mahomes (3:30), but have reservations about whether a flawed Kansas City team can win in Baltimore (13:00). Colin believes Jared Goff’s lack of flash and physical tools has led many people into undervaluing him (19:00),and they peer into the crystal ball to look at the future for Green Bay and see multiple NFC championship runs in the next few years (24:00).   They find flaws in the 49ers that could cause problems against a talented Lions team (31:00) and marvel at the evolution of Lamar Jackson’s game (48:00). They also weigh in on Jim Harbaugh’s job search in the NFL (01:02:00), what the market for Baker Mayfield looks like (01:04:00) and whether the Raiders chose poorly by making Antonio Pierce their head coach (01:07:00) (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)
