    Monday 10/5: Colts win in London!

    0:00 – 14:36 – The Colts prevailed over the Commanders in London, and it was a weird one across the pond. James is heading back stateside, so Kevin hosts with Marc. How did the Colts get it done despite shaky play from Daniel Jones and Sauce Gardner? Some like to say, “A win is a win,” but Kevin disagrees.  14:37 – 23:15 – Morning Checkdown  23:16 – 42:12 – The Colts improved to 2-2 after their win over London, but Jones now has seven turnovers through four games. He was also inefficient through the air, not doing much to offset his poor decisions. Shane Steichen doesn’t sound very concerned, but Kevin and Marc are. Sunday’s win was one of the least convincing three-score wins in recent memory.   42:13 – 1:08:53 - Kevin has more questions than answers after the Colts’ trip to London. Jonathan Taylor, Seth McGowan and DeForest Buckner were game changers, while Washington’s injuries and lack of discipline also helped Indy. Gardner had a rough day against the Commanders’ backups, while CJ Allen was inactive once again, Morning Checkdown  1:08:54 – 1:16:50 – Steichen is known for scripting good opening drives, which made yesterday’s start that much odder. We fact-check an insane stat from the text line, then Kevin gives his Outlaw Light Toast of the Game to an unlikely recipient!   1:16:51 – 1:23:42 – Colts have lost the turnover battle in all four games, but they’re sitting at .500 after a quarter of the season. We run through some Postgame Headlines, and Kevin notes how the way that Indy won yesterday likely isn’t conducive to future wins.  1:23:43 – 1:48:05 – The Colts defensive tackles, particularly DeForest Buckner, are playing playoff-caliber defense so far. Mooney Ward also had a good game, and Indy was much more disciplined than Washington. Steichen says Jones has done some good things, so what are they? Morning Checkdown  1:48:06 – 1:55:30 – We give our GOATS of the Week after an eventful week four in the NFL and Kevin gets some gift-giving advice.   1:55:31 – 2:04:25 – A caller gives his thoughts on Daniel Jones and Jake Query joins Kevin and Marc to preview Monday’s edition of Query & Company!  Support the show: https://1075thefan.com/the-wake-up-call-1075-the-fan/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Curt Cignetti’s team faced a tough test last week -- lots to be ironed out as the schedule gets a lot tougher this month. Does anything scare us about a Jayden Daniels-less Commanders team? How does Daniel Jones respond after a shaky game?, Morning Checkdown  1:09:16 – 1:19:36 – The Fever’s season is over, also ending the non-basketball circus that Stephanie White and Co. had to contend with in year three of the Caitlin Clark era. There are a lot of questions around the Fever’s roster as they head into the offseason.   1:19:37 – 1:26:54 – The guys give their picks for the best, worst, and most entertaining games on the loaded week four NFL slate. Two former No. 1 overall picks face off when Cincinnati hosts Jacksonville, the Packers stink, and Marc thinks the Chargers are done.   1:26:55 – 1:49:56 – Pacers Fan Jam is set for 11 a.m. on Sunday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Kevin thinks Jake Query might have a burner account, and Kevin thinks Colts-Commanders will hinge on Washington’s WRs matching up with the Colts’ CBs.

Washington has announced that Marcus Mariota will start on Sunday. Shifting gears, James thinks the Fever should retain head coach Stephanie White, but he can’t say the same for Kelsey Mitchell.   2:00:01 – 2:09:07 – Closing out the show, the guys give their picks for Colts-Commanders and Jake Query joins Kevin and Marc to preview Query & Company!  Support the show: https://1075thefan.com/the-wake-up-call-1075-the-fan/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
