3 & Out - Week 13 Reaction: Josh Allen &...

iHeartPodcasts and The Volume
About this episode

John reacts to another exciting Sunday in the National Football League, capped by a San Francisco 49ers blowout loss to a red-hot Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills on a snowy Sunday Night Football tilt.

John dives into Christian McCaffrey’s devastating injury in their SNF loss and explains what it means for the struggling NFC West powerhouse moving forward and wonders what’s gone wrong in the Bay Area this season. Middlekauff wonders if this means that CMC’s career is over in the League, and uses Mike Tyson as an analogue for the San Francisco 49ers team this year before explaining why the Niners’ litany of question marks could pose problems for them moving forward. John then wonders if San Francisco QB Brock Purdy is really a “max quarterback” and details how watching the signal-caller get out dueled by Josh Allen is a red flag for the 49ers as a Super Bowl competitor. John salutes Buffalo Bills superstar QB Josh Allen and says that when you have a player of the caliber you just have to ride the hot hand as long as you can.

Middlekauff goes down the gauntlet of NFL contenders, including the Buffalo Bills, Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs, Jared Goff & the Detroit lions and others, as he wonders who will hoist the Lombardi trophy in February. John wonders if Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles could go on to win an NFL MVP award after another HUGE Philly win against Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens before diving into the idea of a split NFL MVP award similar to Brett Favre and Barry Sanders in the 1990s. John tackles the rest of the biggest stories in the NFL, including Kirk Cousins’ horrible performance for the Atlanta Falcons, Sam Darnold turning it on for the 10-2 Minnesota Vikings and goes all the way off on the joke of an organization the Chicago Bears. Finally, John’s thoughts on the Jets and Aaron Rodgers, aging NFL talent and the state of College Football after a tense rivalry week.
