The race for the NFC’s final playoff position is continuing to heat up, and although the loss is serious blow to the Bears’ postseason aspirations, they’re not out of the running just yet. Although the Bears are technically […]

What can the Jets do to get back on track?

While looking over the AFC playoff picture, something caught my eyes in the net points column. Most teams in the playoff race are hovering within a couple touchdowns of breaking even in net points, but the New York Jets are an anomaly. At -101 net points, they’re better than only the Jacksonville Jaguars. Early in […]

Steelers down but not out after loss to the Ravens

After losing on Thanksgiving Day to the Baltimore Ravens, it would be easy to dismiss the Steelers from any playoff discussion, but doing so would be premature at best. Going into this week’s games, the Steelers were tied with a handful of teams at 5-6 for the final AFC playoff position. The Steelers biggest hurdle […]

The Packers now face a bleak prognosis for the 2013 playoff race

With their most recent loss coming at the hands of the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day, the Green Bay Packers have put themselves into a corner. While they haven’t been eliminated from the playoff race, there’s little they can do to get themselves back in the race. Even if Aaron Rodgers comes back next week, […]

Are the New England Patriots the new AFC Super Bowl favorites?

After beating the Denver Broncos, it’s easy to buy into the belief that the Patriots are once again the team to beat in the AFC. With the tie-breaker over the Broncos now secure, the Patriots need only to tie the Broncos to claim the top seed in the AFC, unless of course the Kansas City […]

Cardinals can contend for a Super Bowl if they make the playoffs

Bruce Arians knew from the get go that his team could beat anyone, so long as the Cardinals stopped hurting themselves. After a rocky start to his first season as Arizona’s top coach, that idealism is quickly turning into reality. Since losing to the Seattle Seahawks over a month ago, the Cardinals have ripped off […]

Should we still believe in the Jets?

Just when we start to believe in the New York Jets, they have a way of crushing our hopes and dreams. Why the, did we think the 2013 Jets would be any different? Until Sunday, the Jets had neither won two games in a row nor lost two games in a row all season. That […]

Colts’ offense continues to drag in loss to Cardinals

The Indianapolis Colts continued to struggle against the very hot Arizona Cardinals. Indianapolis had been able to come from behind and win close games in recent weeks, but the Cardinals put there foot on the gas, and never let up. With a 24-point halftime lead, the Cardinals were never in danger of losing control of […]

Will Robert Griffin III go down as a draft bust?

A year ago, it would have been inconceivable to even put Robert Griffin III’s name in the same sentence as the word “bust,” but the NFL landscape changes quickly, and for the Washington Redskins, that change hasn’t gone in their favor.  A season ago, Griffin on the fast-track to becoming the next big star. Unlike […]

Greg Schiano could be on track to save his own job

Just a few weeks ago, it appeared that Greg Schiano’s job with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could end at any point. The Team started the season with eight straight losses, and had exiled the team’s former franchise quarterback after Josh Freeman and Schiano could not work out their differences. A lot has changed since then. […]

The once 0-6 Giants are now in the race for the NFC East

The NFC East has been the strangest of all the divisions this season. The Cowboys jumped out early, then the Eagles made their own run, and of late, the New York Giants have been making a push to get back into the playoff mix after starting the season 0-6. The only team that’s really been […]

Do the Chiefs regret drafting Eric Fisher?

To build a successful offense in the NFL, teams have to find a quarterback that can pull the trigger and win games in clutch moments. Those quarterbacks need a few things to succeed as well. Quarterbacks need offensive weapons, preferably a running game and, although it’s overlooked more times than not, pass protection. The Kansas […]

The 49ers have to get back on track quickly

The San Francisco 49ers, after making a trip to the Super Bowl just a season ago, are now in big trouble. No, they’re not in full-blown scramble mode to make up ground in the wildcard race, but they’re falling flat at a time they should be making a run to the playoffs. The magic that […]
