Are the Colts building their team the right way?

With the Colts’ acquisition of running back Trent Richardson, all the pieces on offense seem to be in place for the Indianapolis Colts. Just two years removed from the worst season by any team since the 2008 Lions, the Colts look like a team ready to rise to the top of the league. The question […]

Starting quarterbacks already losing their jobs

Just two weeks into the regular season and we're already seeing the result of a pass driven league. Quarterbacks that entered the league as starters are already dropping like flies. The top stories of the week came from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Cleveland Browns. Apparently, the rift between Josh Freeman and head coach […]

The Kansas City Chiefs look playoff bound

It’s way too early in the season to begin making blanket statements about any given team, or at least most teams, but one thing is undeniable when talking about the Kansas City Chiefs. They look very, very good. After dispatching the Philadelphia Eagles’ high-octane offense, the Kansas City Chiefs, a team that has been marred […]

Quarterbacks running for their lives

The NFL is a passing league, and to pass the ball efficiently, teams have to protect their trigger men. This is the list of those quarterbacks that don't have a chance, and frankly, probably never had a chance. These are the quarterbacks scrambling for their lives more often than for yards. Chad Henne/Blaine Gabbert, Jacksonville […]

Seahawks heading towards an early-season trap game?

Usually week three of the NFL season isn’t a time we talk about “trap games,” but the Jacksonville Jaguars are just that bad, and the Seattle Seahawks are just that good. Still, we can’t ignore a few key factors that may favor the Jaguars against head coach Gus Bradley’s former team. To start, no, the […]

The strategies behind the Trent Richardson trade

If you were surprised to hear the Colts had acquired Browns running back Trent Richardson through a high-stakes trade, you're not alone. The Browns shipped Trent Richardson to the Indianapolis Colts Thursday in exchange for a 1st round, 2014 draft pick. The move may well work out for both teams involved, but there's no doubt […]

The Browns may be moving on from Brandon Weeden

The Browns’ decision to start backup quarterback Brian Hoyer over injured starter Brandon Weeden makes perfect sense to anyone that’s observed the Browns over the past couple of seasons. So far in 2013, Weeden has been pretty poor, throwing for three interceptions and only one touchdown. In a young man’s sport, it’s strange that the […]

Teams looking for answers after week 2

The still-young 2013 season hasn’t treated every team in the NFL to a kind start. While some *cough* Jaguars *cough* were expected to be, well, awful, other teams had high hopes and are suddenly staring 0-3 in the face. Here’s a few teams looking for answers after a rough start. Pittsburgh Steelers What happened to […]

No reason to doubt this year’s Bears squad

We’ve seen this from the Chicago Bears before. The team jumps out to a fast start to open up a year, and they slowly get off pace. Then, by the end of the year, they’re fighting for a wildcard position. Why should this year be any different? To start with, Jay Cutler is a true […]

Redskins in the middle of a delicate situation with Griffin III, Cousins

After starting the season 0-2, there are rumblings of discontent among Redskins fans. Some have openly clamored for the team’s young star quarterback, Robert Griffin III, to be benched in favor of backup Kirk Cousins, at least until Griffin is 100% healthy. The situation has the potential to go from mildly disruptive to outright explosive […]

Bengals, Steelers looking to keep pace in the AFC North

Early season divisional matchups are always important, but tonight’s game between the Bengals and the Steelers holds particular importance for the teams involved. The winner will keep pace with the Baltimore Ravens atop the AFC North, but the loser will fall a game back in a division that could very easily be decided by a […]

Run for one; who’s in line for the first draft pick?

Jacksonville Jaguars Wow, the Jaguars’ offense is terrible. Regardless of whether Chad Henne or Blaine Gabbert is taking the snaps, there’s no offensive production. The good news for the Jaguars is, help is on the way. After week four, Justin Blackmon will be getting back on the field following his four-game suspension. The Jaguars, right […]

Colts too reliant on Andrew Luck in loss to Dolphins

The Indianapolis Colts attempted to push their record to 2-0 earlier this afternoon, but the Miami Dolphins were too much to handle. The Colts lost the game 20-24, but the big takeaway from the game wasn’t the final result; it was what happened on the field in Indianapolis. Andrew Luck, who has been touted as […]

Titans plan to move forward with the running game

The Tennessee Titans are taking a step forward by going back to the past. Once upon a time, you won games in the NFL by running the ball and stopping the run. That hasn’t been the case for quite some time, but that isn’t going to stop the Tennessee Titans from running the ball whenever […]

Bengals could put the Steelers’ season on thin ice with a win

Following an embarrassing week one loss to the Tennessee Titans, the Pittsburgh Steelers have put themselves in a rough spot. The team will be visiting the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football, hoping to get back on track. With a loss, however, things become far more complicated. The Steelers are no stranger to losing to […]
