Examining key matchups for all four divisional playoff games

After four road playoff wins on Wild Card weekend, it’s safe to assume anything can happen in these crazy playoff games. That said, it’s also fairly safe to assume the home teams will have a better showing this weekend. With so much on the line, it’s important for these teams to identify any matchup advantages […]

Recapping all 32 first round picks in 2015 and how they fared in their rookie season

Is Russell Wilson an MVP sleeper?

The Seahawks were 1-4. Then they were 4-5. A disappointing season got worse when they lost Marshawn Lynch to injury. Then Jimmy Graham. Then Lynch’s star replacement Thomas Rawls. But as they lost more and more weapons on offense a weird thing happened. They got better. Now sitting firmly in control of their wild card […]

Does Blaine Gabbert deserve a chance to start in 2016?

Expectations were sky high for quarterback Blaine Gabbert coming out of the NFL draft. Gabbert was picked 10th overall by the Jacksonville Jaguards in 2011 and was thought to be the franchise’s savior. Unfortunately his play was inconsistent throughout his tenure with the team and he was widely viewed as a massive bust by the […]

Who leads the defensive player of the year race?

With six weeks remaining in the NFL season we’re starting to get a clearer vision of who the player awards will go to. Defensive player of the year is a very tight race, though, with many players making a serious run at it. So who will win out? Here are the primary candidates: J. J. […]

Can the Cowboys still come back to win the NFC East?

It’s been a brutal season that’s seen the Cowboys lose both Tony Romo and Dez Bryant to serious injuries. After starting 2-0 with two wins over divisional opponents, the Cowboys have lost six straight games shuffling between Brandon Weeden and Matt Cassel at quarterback. They’ve even tried letting Darren McFadden throw a pass to no […]

Should the Broncos bench Peyton Manning?

The Broncos are riding high at 6-0 and already 3.5 games ahead in 1st place of the AFC West. But while they are in complete control of their undeniable path to the playoffs, Peyton Manning is playing awful – at least by his standards. If you were told the Broncos would start 6-0, you’d think […]

Should the Saints trade Sean Payton?

The Saints are knee deep in the worst stretch of the Sean Payton era. While some of you might recall the Bountygate era being worse, the results on the field from that time period pale in comparison. Since a big win on the road at Carolina last season that catapulted the Saints back to a […]

Contenders and pretenders through four weeks

We’re through the first quarter of the 2015 NFL season and so far there’s been a lot of surprises. The NFC South looks like it could have two very good teams, who saw that coming? But over the years how many times have we seen a team start hot only to implode? Remember it’s not […]

Julio Jones vs. Antonio Brown: Which WR is better?

You ask the average NFL who the best receiver in the NFL is and many would still likely say Calvin “Megatron” Johnson. Anyone giving that answer wouldn’t be up to date on the present. Over the last 12 months plus it’s become clear that no one is more dominant than Julio Jones of the Atlanta […]
