Three & Out

Key Takeaways from the #NFLPlayoffs Divisional Round: OT rules debate, Aaron Rodgers schadenfreude and a game of F.M.K. between the 3 aging high-seeded QBs who got bounced.

Ty Schalter, Samantha Bunten, & Michael Schottey decide who of Rodgers, Tom Brady, and Ryan Tannehill to re-sign, trade away, and force to retire. Plus the rest of our Key Takeaways from all the incredible playoff action!

Defector staff writer Kalyn Kahler (@KalynKahler) joined the Big Show to discuss NFL coaching & GM hires, nepotism, and the challenges people of color face interviewing for NFL leadership positions.

For this week's Big Topic, Ty Schalter, Samantha Bunten & Michael Schottey reacted to Philadelphia Eagles GM Howie Roseman's announcing of QB Jalen Hurts as the 2023 starter. We also picked every game of the Divisional Round of the 2021 NFL playoffs!

The Three & Out crew went live on Halftime during a Cardinals/Rams #MNF; this time, the Rams really ended the Cards' season.

But first, we broke down every angle of the Raiders firing Mike Mayock, batted around more coaching-cycle possibilities (especially in and around Dallas). We also took your questions, and poked a little friendly fun at the stereotypical Cowboys fans.

Ty's Key Takeaway was whether the NFL officials ruined Super Wild Card weekend, Samantha came for Mike McCarthy's job, and Schottey says it's time for Bill Belichick to retire.

The Three & Out crew also broke down everything you need to know about what happened during the NFL's Super Wild Card Weekend! We talk Bengals/Raiders, how fun Bills/Pats was, and preview tonight's MNF special--which, as always, we'll go live on Halftime to second-screen!

We did the #WayTooEarlyAwards back in May; this week we checked whether we got the #DROY, #OPOY, & #MVP right. Then @JBaileyNFL joined the Big Show to explain what it was like NOT rooting for the Raiders and Chargers to tie in Week 18.

We talk Steelers, Aaron Rodgers, and the NFL head-coaching hirings and firings, before picking all the Wild Card-round playoff games, courtesy of Pickwatch.com!

With Schottey serving as a coach and scout in the College Gridiron Showcase (@CGSAllStar), we served up our reactions to NFL Week 18 LIVE on Halftime (@TheHalftimeApp)!

Samantha gave us the view from inside "Sunday Night Football" as Week 18's Chargers/Raiders finale was *almost* everything we all hoped it would be. We talked the most surprising Black Monday firings and not-firings, from Brian Flores and Rick Spielman to Joe Judge and Matt Rhule. We also went what Rich Bisaccia's success means for Mike Mayock, Mark Davis, and the Las Vegas Raiders.

Field Yates (@FieldYates) is one of our favorite guests, and the ESPN NFL Insider joined us once again for our Week 18 Big Show! We had to pick Field's brain about breakout fantasy players for 2022, and how the co-host of the Fantasy Focus Football Podcast, preps to stay on top of the fantasy industry. He also gave us the skinny on Bears head coach Matt Nagy's future, and who might replace him!

Each of the Three & Out crew had different takes on former Pro Football Weekly publisher Hub Arkush's misusing his MVP vote to air grievances about Aaron Rodgers--even though we all had some Rodgers grievances of our own to air.

As always, we finished strong by picking the full slate of NFL Week 18 games, both straight-up and against the spread, courtesy of Pickwatch.com!

It used to be the last week of the season--but even after Week 17's decisive matches, we still have plenty of football left!

Ty Schalter, Samantha Bunten & Michael Schottey look hard at every angle of Antonio Brown's on-field outburst against the Jets, and subsequent release. Schottey wanted to talk Joe Burrow and Jamarr Chase's huge AFC North-clinching day. Then we broke down the Cardinals' upset of the Dallas Cowboys; what does it mean for the NFC?

The Three & Out crew then did Key Takeaways for every Week 17 NFL game, and reviewed their picks courtesy of Pickwatch.com!

NFL host, reporter & analyst at the Broncos flagship, KOA Colorado, Benjamin Allbright, joined the Three & Out crew to about the passing of John Madden, everything Broncos (including those juicy Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams rumors), and surprise playoff teams.

Ty Schalter, Samantha Bunten, & Michael Schottey also talk about what John Madden meant to the game of NFL football as a coach, commentator, analyst & video-game impresario, as well as pick every Week 17 NFL game (both straight-up and against the spread), courtesy of Pickwatch!

The Three & Out crew were live for Monday Night Football on the Halftime app, watching the Miami Dolphins and New Orleans Saints try to keep their playoff hopes alive against each other! We also talked plenty of Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the NFC Playoff bracket!
