In the wake of a series of depressing playoff injuries, John and Nate take 30 minutes to brainstorm some potential rule changes they think would help. 

Then we look back on week 3 of the playoff crucible and discuss the coaching moves that did and didn’t work, some disappointing players, and who withstood the playoff crucible and who turned to ash.
