Early on, it appeared that the first round of Sunday’s action would be characterized by blowouts, but as the day wore on, those blowouts began to get closer and closer. By the end of the first round of games, we had some thrilling, albeit confusing, finishes. Today’s game in London was a great example of […]

At 0-3 and staring 0-4 in the eyes, the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants are in dire strait. Both offenses have been woefully inept, and despite some bright spots on defense, neither team can make up for their offenses’ lack of production. With an 0-3 start, a team has some time to fight its […]

The St. Louis Rams are at the bottom of the NFC West at 1-3, and they’ve looked like one of the league’s worst teams in their last couple of games. With their hopes of making a playoff run fading fast, we have to wonder; is Jeff Fisher on the hot seat? Right now, I have […]

The Cleveland Browns can climb back to .500 with a win against their intrastate rival, the Cincinnati Bengals. Two weeks ago, the Browns wouldn’t have stood a chance against the Bengals, but adding a passing game, even if it is erratic, can change the odds of any outcome. Brian Hoyer wasn’t spectacular in the Browns’ […]

Matt Flynn has experienced a rough couple of years since leaving the Green Bay Packers. First, he was brought to Seattle, presumably, to take the franchise back to the promise land. Matt Hasselbeck had put the Seahawks in the Super Bowl before the team fell off again, but with Flynn, the team was hoping for […]

Every year, a few teams jump out to surprising starts. Sometimes, those teams keep it together all season long, and we see them making postseason runs. Other times, those teams fall apart as the season progresses, and they wind up exactly where everyone thought they would. This season has been no different, and there are […]

In the NFL, it doesn’t take long for someone to lose his job. That’s why it’s so important for players, coaches and even executives to be as proactive as possible in maneuvering themselves into the best possible positions. That’s what Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano appears to be doing in his move to […]

Just when you think the Lions are on the right track, something unforeseen happens that effectively throws a monkey wrench in the gears. The latest occurrence was a pizza – yes, the delicious food many of us survive on – falling off the seat in Nate Burleson’s car. After trying to catch the pizza, Burleson […]

Peyton Manning may not be the best quarterback of all time, and the Denver Broncos may not be the best team of all time, but one thing is certain. Both are extremely talented, and Manning is on a mad tear through the NFL. Usually, stats can be spun one way or another. Not so with […]

After so many downs and so few ups, Jaguars third-year quarterback Blaine Gabbert may be getting ready to make his last push to remain an NFL starting quarterback. In relief for Blaine Gabbert, who suffered a throwing hand injury in week one, backup Chad Henne was nothing short of terrible, giving the Jaguars little hope […]

The NFL landscape is never predictable. That’s why it’s so surprising to see so many up in arms about the absolutely tumultuous start to the NFL seasons. The Giants and Steelers are stuck at 0-3 while teams like the Dolphins and the Chiefs are suddenly contenders at 3-0. With so many teams surprising us in […]

We've put another Sunday in the books. Here's how the race for the first overall pick in the 2014 draft is shaping up after a day in which the Cleveland Browns put one in the win column, and in doing so, got themselves off this list, at least for now. Jacksonville Jaguars The Jacksonville Jaguars […]

The Brandon Weeden era in Cleveland appears over. That's the short takeaway from the Cleveland Browns' victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Brian Hoyer, formerly the Browns' third quarterback, now appears to be the man moving forward in Ohio. Sure, Hoyer wasn't perfect. In fact, he was far from perfect, throwing three interceptions to go with […]

There are a number of great games today, but one that is circled on my schedule is tonight's matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bears are looking to get off to a truly solid 3-0 start while the Steelers are just trying to get in the game and avoid 0-3. These […]
