Ep. 561

The Columbus Crew are FULLY IN THE PLAYOFFS!! Not in a play-in game. IN THE FULL PLAYOFFS QUALIFICATION and will be taking on Miami in the first round. Bart, Brett, and Sam look at the Decision Day comeback against Chicago on the road, and how this team, the one the was in 15th place in the East approximately 7 weeks ago, has managed to get into playoff contention. 

Well, what do you know? THE COLUMBUS CREW HAVE CLINCHED A PLAYOFF SPOT!! Bart, Brett, and Sam look at how we got here, the game against DC United and how things can shape up on decision day.

The Crew squander opportunities to win the Open Cup against St. Louis and lose in PKs. The same Columbus Crew turns around and drops FOUR goals on Toronto FC. The good, the bad, and the ugly of the last two games, and what is to come in the final three matches of the regular season.

The Columbus Crew snatch some valuable points from rivals FC Cincinnati ON THE ROAD! Now they turn their attention to Saint Louis and the prospect of winning a trophy in the 2026 season. 

A wise man once said "the ball lies... A LOT." And that seemed to be the case for the Columbus Crew against Orlando City on the road. Murph, Bart, and Sam look at what took place in Orlando and how that translates for some very crucial upcoming games including one with a trophy on the line.

Let’s try this again. The Columbus Crew stun Miami FC in the 98th minute to secure all three points at home. What was different on Sunday?  Murph, Brett, and Bart look back at what took place. 

The Crew go on the road and avenge their home loss to Montreal. Next, the take on Miami at home. 

The Crew gave us some hope with the win against Colorado, only to regress with two consecutive losses to DC and New York Red Bulls. What are we doing here? Can this team right the ship in the remaining 10 games? Can they show something different against Orlando in the Open Cup semi final? Brett, Patrick Guldan, Bart, and Sam explore the ailments and possibilities. 

The Crew have lost 4 games in a row in league play. Can this team be fixed? Is it coaching? Players? Player mentality? These are all questions that Murph, Bart, and Sam try to answer

Welp, that didn't look good. A rough week for the Columbus Crew produces ZERO points in two games of league play. What's happening to this team? Brett, Bart, Murph, and Sam try to make sense out of what they have seen from this team since the world cup break.
