0 comments by on 12/19/2016

It’s been a tough year for the injury-ravaged, snakebitten San Diego Chargers, but second-year wide receiver Tyrell Williams has been a bright spot in San Diego. In 14 games, he has 59 catches for 925 yards and six touchdowns. The Comeback caught up recently with the team’s leading receiver. Brad Gagnon: You’re big, athletic and fast. And […]

0 comments by on 12/16/2016

Each Friday this NFL season, we’re taking a quick look at the league’s most interesting team in action that weekend. This week, we’re going with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Why the Bucs? Because rather quietly, Tampa Bay has won five consecutive games in order to move into a first-place tie with Atlanta in the NFC […]

0 comments by on 12/14/2016

Throughout the 2016 NFL regular season, we’re ranking the league’s top 10 quarterbacks. Here’s how we view things after Week 14… 1. Tom Brady, Patriots: The NFL’s oldest passer continues to be its highest rated. He also ranks in the top three in terms of completion percentage, yards per attempt, touchdown-to-interception ratio and QBR. Considering […]

With three weeks remaining in the 2016 NFL regular season, here’s how we view the MVP race… 1. Tom Brady, Patriots: The NFL’s highest-rated passer was a stud without any help in a dominant performance against the league’s top-ranked defense. And just like that, he takes a commanding lead. 2. Derek Carr, Raiders: You could […]

This Weekend in NFL Stupid highlights the dumbest decisions in football throughout the season. This week, we start with an idiotic play call with the game on the line in Indianapolis. Maybe just throw a high-percentage pass to your top receiver? We don’t know if the play call was stupid or if Andrew Luck made […]

Each Friday this NFL season, we’re taking a quick look at the league’s most interesting team in action that weekend. This week, we’re going with the Baltimore Ravens. Why the Ravens?

The reality of the NFL in 2016: Everybody is flawed

0 comments by on 12/8/2016

With four weeks remaining in the 2016 NFL regular season, it occurs to me that the league is lacking something: a great team. Look around. Everybody has at least one major problem. Let’s go from top to bottom (or at least middle). Dallas Cowboys (11-1): The pass rush is toothless and the offense is being […]

What does the future hold for the Buffalo Bills?

0 comments by on 12/7/2016

In 2015, Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan guaranteed his new team would break out of a 15-year-old playoff slump. That didn’t happen. In 2016, Bills legend Jim Kelly suggested that Ryan would be fired if the Bills missed the playoffs for a 17th consecutive year. It’s beginning to look as though they’ll miss the […]

TGS weekly MVP tracker: Derek Carr tightens his grip

0 comments by

With four weeks remaining in the 2016 NFL regular season, here’s how we view the MVP race… 1. Derek Carr, Raiders: That’s yet another fourth-quarter comeback for Carr, who trails Matthew Stafford (seven) by one in that category. Stafford has already tied the single-season NFL record. The league’s highest-rated fourth-quarter passer has really carried first-place […]

This Weekend in NFL Stupid highlights the dumbest decisions in football throughout the season. This week, we focus on an ordeal that one coach inexplicably brought upon himself.  A simple fine would have sufficed Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera benched superstar quarterback Cam Newton for the first series (it turned out to be only one […]
