Colin reacts to the Vikings 27-24 comeback win over the Bears on Monday Night Football. He begins with J.J. McCarthy’s rough start and strong finish and compares his highly emotional style to Baker Mayfield (5:00). He highlights Caleb Williams' strong start when the offense was scripted but devolved into inconsistency and sailed passes late (9:30).  He argues that the Vikings are the better franchise with better personnel and coaching and look like the Chiefs pre-Mahomes and can become dominant if they get the quarterback right (14:45).  All lines provided by hardrock.bet (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the first week of the NFL season. They start with the Packers drubbing the Lions, and highlight the lack of creativity of the Lions offense after losing OC Ben Johnson (3:00), and the immediate impact of Micah Parsons on the Packers defense (6:00). They laud Brock Purdy’s performance in the 49ers win over the Seahawks on the road but have serious questions about the 49ers ability to stay healthy (14:00).  They recap a wildly entertaining Steelers win over the Jets and analyze Aaron Rodgers’ efficient distribution in the Steelers offense (25:00) and an impressive performance from Justin Fields (32:00). They declare the Dolphins season as DONE after being blown out by the Colts (35:00) and argue the Colts could challenge for the AFC South title (38:00).  They break down the Raiders win over the Patriots and Colin argues that the Pats coaching staff may not trust Drake Maye (41:45) and the Raiders under Pete Carroll are going to win games in the tough AFC West (46:00). They discuss an ugly opening game for Bo Nix in a Broncos win that was powered by their league best pass rush and defense (55:45). Colin argues that the Giants need to start Jaxson Dart after Russell Wilson couldn’t sustain drives against the Commanders and worries Brian Daboll could lose the locker room if he doesn’t make a change  (1:03:00).  Finally, they look ahead to the Bears/Vikings Monday Night Football game and debate whether Caleb Williams could end up being a bust due to his personality and the “noise” that surrounds him (1:12:00).  All lines provided by hardrock.bet (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)
