The regular season is over so John and Tim get philosophical sitting around The Bonfire. The duo break down the team's 4-3 loss to the Columbus Crew at SeatGeek, and John, feeling literary, turns it into a synecdoche for the entire season.

The two break down what they didn't like from the loss, including defensive lapses and a lack of passion, but try to find rays of hope, including a strong performance from Robert Lewandowski and the increased minutes seen in this one from André Franco.

The two try to avoid getting into talk about the Fire's upcoming first round matchup against Charlotte, but can't help but look ahead to the playoffs and look around them at the Eastern Conference's playoff field.
