Colin gives his instant reaction to the 49ers beating the Panthers 20-9 on Monday Night Football. He believes Brock Purdy still isn’t 100% as he wasn’t able to get velocity on deeper throws leading to multiple interceptions, and an injured and depleted 49ers roster isn’t top 10 in the league. On the Panthers side, Colin highlights the limitations of quarterback Bryce Young and believes the Panthers need to draft another QB.  Finally, he weighs in the AD at Ole Miss saying Lane Kiffin will “lose credibility” if he leaves, and Colin pushes back and argues that the only thing that gives you credibility in football is WINNING.

They start with the Cowboys overcoming a 21-0 deficit to beat the Eagles on a walk off field goal and they highlight the Eagles inability to run the ball as a massive problem for the defending champs. They argue that Jerry Jones HAS to extend the contract for George Pickens after another dominant performance and credit Dak Prescott’s leadership (3:00).  They move to Shedeur Sanders making his first start in a game where the Browns dominated the Raiders, and believe he showed enough to get the next start at quarterback (25:00).  Colin puts the blame on Daniel Jones for the Colts blowing a late game lead to the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes, and believes the Chiefs will still make the playoffs despite their 6-5 record (30:45). They move to the Bears beating the Aaron Rodgers-less Steelers and Colin argues that Caleb Williams isn’t a great fit for Ben Johnson’s system, but they’re finding ways to make it work and have cleaned up a lot of the mistakes (38:30).  They recap the Packers win over the Vikings and they declare that J.J. McCarthy has proven he is NOT an NFL caliber starting quarterback and made a huge mistake moving off of Sam Darnold (54:00).

Finally, he discusses Lane Kiffin’s future and predicts he’ll take the LSU job and discusses why he loves the new UFO documentary “The Age of Disclosure”.
