Every NFL team goes into a season hoping they’ll never have to use their backup, unless it’s in garbage time or in a meaningless game after a playoff berth has been clinched. The reality is that poor play by the starter, or injury, thrusts a backup quarterback into action more than most fans would hope. […]

Oh God, what have I done, can I take it back?!?! As a fan of the New Orleans Saints, I watched “my team” get wrecked in Seattle twice last year, once to diminish their playoff seeding, and once to end their entire season. It was not fun times. Of course I then watched that Seahawks’ […]

New Orleans Saints’ kicker Shayne Graham, Carolina Panthers’ Jordan Gay and Tennessee Titans’ kicker Maikon Bonani share the distinction of being the only kickers that missed an extra point in week 1 of the preseason. The NFL is making the “extra point” a 33 yard attempt for the first two weeks of preseason as a […]

Most fans will agree that four preseason games are more than we all care to tolerate (or five if your team is in the Hall of Fame Game).  But while most fans are down on preseason games, the reality is they remain a necessary evil. The exercise is useful in identifying the bottom quarter of […]

If one were asked to name the best starting safety tandem in the NFL right now, the most likely answer you’d expect to hear would be Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor of the Seattle Seahawks. Not only did the Seahawks win the Super Bowl behind what can only be described as the best defense we’ve […]

Training camp has started league wide and already we’re receiving the unfortunate news of some players being out for the season. As an NFL fan you know the bad news is coming, it’s the nature of the beast, you just hope it’s not a critical player for the team you root for. Even then, your […]

After causing quite a stir by listing the ten most overrated players in the league, it’s only fair that we share players that are not put in the spotlight but deserve to be, as well. When a player is put on a pedestal by the media, part of it is marketing, part of it is […]

Every year the media, fans and even the league tend to put certain players on a pedestal. Whether it’s a likable personality, self promotion, past success or potential, some players are in the spotlight more than they maybe deserve to be. Below are ten players that fit that description to a T and don’t carry […]

Do you remember Kenny Britt? He’s the former 1st round pick of the Tennessee Titans that never really lived up to the hype. He’s had three knee surgeries since 2011, including the worst season of his career in 2013 where he finished with just 11 receptions for 96 yards in 13 games (2 starts). Britt […]

Every year the league takes twists and turns that no one expects. In 2013 we saw a linebacker in Kiko Alonso of the Bills who surprised everyone by being one of the best players in the entire rookie class despite not being a 1st round pick. The Cardinals as a team were a nice surprise […]

When the Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl it was significant in that we saw a running quarterback lead his team to the title. While Russell Wilson isn’t perhaps your traditional “running quarterback” he certainly makes a number of plays with his legs. Wilson’s ascension along with the emergence of other dynamic quarterbacks in the […]

It’s very difficult to get in the Pro Hall of Fame and the process isn’t always fair. A number of players are still waiting to have their name called. These ten players in particular are knocking on the door and we should expect them to be called within the next few years. 10. Kevin Greene, […]
